It may be covered epithelial which 1t epithellum may fall the strings showing at point of the wart, like so many brown or black whence the name geed wart. Warts of this kind occur most commonly on the hands of children. They are caused usually by the irritation of the many sorts of dirt into which the youngsters' hands are so constantly It seems probable that warts are slightly contagious and that they may be spread through schoolful of children by direct contact.

Sometimes warts are quite broad and fat, of a smooth surface and yellowish in color. Such occur frequently about the face and occasionally also on the hands. Another form of flat wart may come on the back in the aged. It is broad, Irregular in outline, with uneven "seedy" surface, and sometimes cOVered with greasy scales. Warts vary a good deal in color.

Some are indistinguishable in color from the surrounding skin, while others are yellowish, brown or even quite black. The dark color may be due to the deposit of pigment In the body of the wart, date lie often, especially in children, simply dirt which has been worked down between the "seeds." Soaking them in warm soapsuds and scrubbing with the nailbrush will usually restore the natural pinkish color. Some warts are, however, deeply pigmented, constituting true moles. These are more common on back. the skin of the chest, abdomen and A wart is usually a trivial thing, but its removal is nevertheless advisable.

Its prominence above the surface poses it constantly to slight injuries, which may keep it in a painful condition. It is never an ornament and may be most unsightly. And finally, in persons getting along in years, it may take on new growth and develop into a tumor. In children warts come and go without apparent reason, and treatment is often unnecessary. But if they persist for a long time or when they come on the adult skin it is better to get rid of them.

Sometimes soaking in warm sea water for ten minutes two or three times a day will cause the warts to disappear. This can be tried first, and if it fails an application of salicylic acid in collodion or touching the wart with a drop of glacial acetic acid on the end of a match will suffice. The Thief Weakened. In Calcutta a box containing money and valuable papers was stolen from a large business establishment. After the police had failed to trace the thief a native wise man, Tarini Prasad Jyotishi, was called in.

He ordered an assembly of the whole establishment, peons, bearers, durwans, table servants, coachmen, syces and what not, and began to harangue them concernIng the unity majesty of the Almighty. Then he entered upon the ritual of his craft, in which the registration of names, the washing of hands, breathing on little squares of paper, distribution of sacred rice and muttering of prayers played their part. new earthenware vessel received the names, with some red powder, and the vessel was finally covered and sealed, the awestruck audience being informed, with further reminders of divine omniscience and omnipotence, that unless the box discovered the name of the thief, inscribed in red, would be found within earthen vessel when the seal should be broken eight days later. This was on Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning the box was found, rifled of notes and gold, but with the valuable papers intact, but the thief is still at large.

Costly Chinese Tribute. From the port of Amoy, China, tribute of edible birds' nests has been sent to Peking ever since the reign of the fourth emperor of the present Chinese dynasty. At first the quantity sent was 100 catties (133 pounds), but this was afterward increased to 160 cattles. The delicacy is produced in Siam and sold in Hongkong, whither Amoy mer. chants go to purchase it, the cost of 160 catties being about $5,000 gold.

But, in addition to the heavy price, the merchants have to pay 'all kinds of illegal fees to officials, amounting to a further sum of $5,000. To these sume must be added the salaries and expenses of the employees of the same merchants who undertake to supply the tribute. The income is derived from dues levied on imports, and these were formerly sufficient to cover penses, but now that foreign imports have considerably decreased they are not sufficient, and the merchants suffer great loss in consequence. Brother Jonathan. The origin of the term "Brother Jonathan" was as follows: When General Washington went to Massachusetts to organize the army he found a great lack of ammunition and of other necessary means for the conduct of the war, and at one time it seemed quite 1m- possible, to Trumbull arrange was things then governor properly.

He did so, with the satisfactory result that the governor was successful in supplying many of the pressing wants of the army, and whenever difAculties arose and the army spread over the country, "We must consult Brother Jonathan" became a common saying until It passed into a nickname for the whole country.

FEEDING STUFFS CONTROL NOTICE OF IMPORTANCE TO FEED DEALERS RICE HULLS USED TO ADULTERATE CATTLE FOODSDANGEROUS TO HEALTH. to The Harrisburg, Nov. is respectfully called to the fact that quite recently we have found that rice hulls are used in Pennsylvania to adulterate feeding stuffs.

hulls are of very inferior value, containing nearly 40 per cent. of woody fiber and a large amount of silica or sand. The outer surface of the hull is harsh a and rasping, while the edges carry sharp projections which have a tendency to irritate the digestive tract of annimals, fed in quantity, may cause their death. Rice hulls are, therefore, of little value as a food, detrimental to the health of farm animals and sometimes even' dangerous to their lives. So far, rice hulls have been found as an adulterant of wheat bran only, but they may find their way into mixed feeds and standard.

Every dealer should be on his against this grossly fraudulent practice, and for the sake of his reputation, should refuse to handle rice hulls or any feed which is adulterated with the same. In buying feeds from the manufacturer or jobber, the dealer should be sure that the amount of protein and fat is guaranteed, and also should demand a written guarantee that the material is not adulterated in any manner. Every feed dealer in the state should value his reputation. He is responsible for selling adulterated goods and for any injurious effects caused by feeding materials which he handles. This Department hopes for the cooperation of dealers to the end, that the best results may be secured and the quality of our feeding stuffs may be improved.
