THE CURE OF CORNS,



Advice on a Subject In Which Many Peo ple Feel a Most Tender Interest. The laminated corn or callous, produced by pressure, congestion and increased for mation of epidermis, may be softened by moisture, as by soaking in warm water, by the application of a starch or soap poultice, end being softened the thick cuticle may m thinned by scraping with a blunt knife, or the albuminous epidermis may be dissolved by an alkaline solution with moderate fric tion. When the thickening has been re duced sufficiently, it may be kept down by daily washing with soap. The soft corn requires removal with the knife. If it be of moderate size, a single pinch with a pair of pointed scissors will effect its removal, while the hard calloua will require patient digging with the point of not too sharp a knife. The eye of the com may be always made visible by rub bing the part with eau de cologne or spirits of wine, and any remains of the core may be detected in this way either during or after the operation. The corn should be covered with a piece of soft plaster for a day or two, and a perforated plaster of buff leather subsequently worn to keep off pres sure from the center of the growth. The removal of a corn may be very con siderably aided by the use of the compound tincture of iodine painted on the swelling. Soap and water, so useful to the skin in many ways, are especially serviceable to feet afflicted with corns, and particularly when they are soft corns. Daily washing with soap and the subsequent interposi tion of a piece of cotton wool between the toea may be considered as a cure for a soft corn. In these cases the skin may ba hard ened by sponging with spirits of camphor after the washing. The cotton wool should be removed at«*iight, and this is a good time for the camphorated spirits, says an ex change in giving the foregoing advice.



Making Mental Work Easy.



Diversifying mental activity as much ad possible is, according to the Boston Culti vator, one of the best means for making mental work easy. A change of work is not merely as good as a rest, but it insures the development of all the mental facul ties which best secures mental health. The power which Mr, Gladstone has of shunt ing his mind from one subject to another not only aids him wonderfully in doing a great amount and variety of work, but it keeps his mind in best condition for doing each thing well. Not every man can do so many things well as Mr. Gladstone can, but the good habit of thinking on a large va riety of topics is one that can be properly cultivated by every one.



In Case of Toothache.



"Do not poultice the outside of the face if suffering from a swelled face, for this may cause a disfiguring scar. Reduce the inflammation by cold applications exter nally and apply a hot, roasted raisin or fig on the inside, the proper spot will indi cate itself, and see your dentist. If impos sible to get to your dentist and the pain is unbearable, a bag of hops, which is not a poultice, will afford temporary relief," is the advice of one woman to another.







THE MODE IN LETTER WRITING.



New Styles In Stationery—Rules Relating to the Address and Signature. For the mere manner of the letter, every season brings us new fashions in note and letter paper. A high class stationer men tions the royal Worcester, gray wove, and an antique parchment as among some of the best in vogue at the moment. The en velopes may be square or oblong as prefer ence dictates, with, however, a fashionable leaning toward the former. Ruled paper betrays an ignorance of social custams. For headings of stationery tastes differ, and a considerable choice, any of which is permissible, is offered at the shops of known authorities in such matters. A crest, a coat of arms, a monogram, or merely the initials or address are all used, taste only Stipulating there shall be nothing garish or outre. A few pale tints and some slightly roughened surfaces are not objectionable, but as a rule smooth, white or cream paper is the safest choice, says a writer in the New York Times, the authority for the follow ing: The etiquette of letter writing is almost without end. First, the letter sent on busi ness should have a stamp and envelope in closed if an answer is expected at an early date, Then every letter, either of business or otherwise, should be answered promptly. It is not considered form to begin a letter with an apology for not writing—that is, expressed directly, and some particular let ter writers always slip the opening sentence about so that the pronoun "I" shall not be the opening word. Another rule is the avoidance of flourishes and eccentricities of handwriting. Postal cards are to be employed for a business message or an order to an inferior. In polite society their usefulness extends no further. There is a distinction, too, in the matter of address, "Dear Mrs. Hopkins" showing a less degree of intimacy than "My Dear Mrs. Hopkins." These forms are, how ever, quite as often used interchangeably, such use not being regarded in the light of a heinous offense. There is a certain intui tive courtesy in the knowing when to drop the formal "Dear Sir" and "Dear Madam," a sort of recognition of one's claim to ac quaintance that is possessed by some per sons and indefinably enjoyed by those to whom it is extended. It is like the bit of breeding which forestalls an introduction, where the two persons about to be intro duced are perfectly well known to each oth er, either by sight or because under exist ing circumstances neither could be anybody else. In the matter of signatures there is again an opportunity for the nice discrimination of degrees of intimacy and formality. "Very truly yours" is a shade more cor dial perhaps than the "Yours truly" of pure business, and so through "Sincerely," "Cordially" and "Faithfully," with and without the adverbs "most" and "very." Women of tact and courtesy know how to put a pleasant warmth in their letters by just the closing of them—perhaps that is why they are apt to be such acceptable cor respondents—and they rarely err either in knowing when to put it. Punctilious persons, either men or wom en, never avail themselves of hotel or club house paper in notes o£ ceremony.
