Bnnoath tho epidermal, or outor layor of the skin, the tissue is thrown up into littlo mounds or cones, called papilho. Into theso run the small blood-vessols and the sensitive norve-endings. Some time one of these papilhe takes on an abnormal frrowth, which projects above the level ot tho surrounding skin, and is known as a wart. Sinco the enlarged papilhe may have one of various shapes, the wart may be pointed, or round, or flattened, and may bo attached to tho skin by a base which Is broad, or by a small pediclo. Some times the papilla is branched, and then the wart appears to be split. In what is known as the "seod wart," which is very broad and fissured in va rious direction, there is a series of branches ot the underlying papilla, each branch being covered with its laver of epiUerniis. Warts grow generally upon the face and hands, but no part of the body is exempt from thom. They are seen most frequently in the young and the very old, persons of middle-age being less frequently attacked. Sometimes a crop will appear all at once, almost in a night, and they may disappoar with equal suddenness. The reason for such appearance and disap pearance is rarely known, but the fact has given rise to a wide-spread but base less superstition that warts may be charmed away. No one cause can be given for the ap pearance of warts,but probably local ir ritation bas something to do with it in many cases. It is a popular idea that they are contagions, and certainly there are facts which seem to point that way; but what the nature of this contagion is, if there is any, is yet to be discovered. Warts raroly appear singly, and may reach enormous numbers as well as large proportions. Though in themselves all warts are harmless, it is undoubtedly true that they are sometimes the starting-points for cancerous disease. This is more likely to occur when the wart is unduly rubbed or irritated. The commonest treatment is by the use of some form of mild caustic. Rather more satisfactory, however, is the treat ment by surgical procedures, either by the knife or the sharp scraping spoon. The process, whatever it is, must be a thorough one, for if the papilla is not en tirely removed, the growth will speedily recur. Youth's Companion. Washington Drew-Maker. In with the well-know.n and well dressed people of Washington who make the round of Cabinet calls on I day afternoons there often appears sol , itary ones, and groups of women, who ; seem to be a little uneasy and out of their sphere at times, and to know no ; one nor any th ing of their surroundings. ' In such a group a caller the other day discerned her seamstress, and 'asking w ho the others were she was answered: "O, we ire all the business. We've ; come to see the styles.

Itatlatlrs of Marital Cranll? roll,. . a rannaylvanla Ontclal, An exception to the usual dullnPM public documents Is found in the renrm of the Commissioner of Labor on a riages and divorces for 18bt. t, be said of only a portion of the v0w for a part of It is devoted to the ren ductlon ol the laws of the various State relating to marriage and divorces, a there is nothing more dovoid of Inter to the averuge reador than a book of tatutes, unless it be a treatise ontbeoi ogy. That portion of the volume, howeva, which treats of tho peculiar klnjj cruelty practiced by 45,731 husbanj, against their wives and 6,122 wjVM against their husbands Is of conumlni Interest One woman was granted a di voree because her husband persisted In coming homo at ton o clock at night ami keeping her awake talking. This 9 called mental cruelty, and the court agreed with her. Another woman se. cured a divorce because her husband cut off her bangs by force, and still an. other because her spouso refused to cut his toe nails. One wife's feelings wer lacerated to the point of legal separ. tion because her husband would not wash himself, thus causing her great mental anguish. The sensibilities of another wife were outraged pant cure becuuso her husband said hor sister wu a thief. Somo of tho cases of cruolty practiced by wives upon their husbands were equally" heartrending. One wifo cruelly refused to sew on her husband's button, a witness testifying to havo soon blm with but ono button to his vest. To add to his anguish and the sympathy of tlit court this cruel wife restrained hor lov. ing husband from going to fires at night.' Another wife charged her husband with being no man at all, which so wrung his heartstrings that nothing short of divorce would allay his anguish. A wife who pulled her husband out of bed by his whiskers was adjudged by the court fit only to travel in single harness un less she could find another man who didn't mind having bis whiskers pslled, A wife who weigbod 190 pounds broke her hnsband's ribs with a stove-lid, and another lost her husband because she cruelly and maliciously beat Dim with her bustlo. These specimens of marital cruelty will lead the average reader to cease wondering that marriage is a failure in so many instances. Their publication will also convince tho publio that de partment reports may serve some other use than to demonstrate to constituents that tho Congressmen who distribute them are great men. If the reports on marriage and divorce that follow main tain the thrilling interest of the first number, sensational newspapers may as well go out ot bus in oss at once. No one will read a divorce caso in the newspa pers who can got a whole volume of divorce cases for nothing. Philadel phia Times. ABOUT STAGE FEARS. Madame Moit,eka tilves ITer Views on a Very I n lerestlng: Subject. Among tho many questions addressed to actresses by interviewers or other in quisitive persons, and which ono hardly knows how to answer, are the following: "Do you shod real tears when you are on the stage'.'" "Is it right to do so?" "Do you play bettor when you cry?" "Don't tears spoil your make-up?" "If you can not cry you can not feel tho emotions of the charactor you per sonate, can you?" Of course tho next question is: "Does Miss Z. or Mrs. X. really cry or not? Are her tears genuine, or a stage trick?" And so on, ad infinitum. To tlie latter you may safely reply that, being ot a less Inquisitive turn of mind than the questioner you are in complete ignoranco as to the nature of ilie lachrymose display of Miss 2., or Mrs. X. Speaking of yourself, you may also briefly dismiss the physical fact of tears by stating, which I think is most often tho case, that sometimes you do cry, sometimes you do not, somotimes you play better with genuine tears, sometimos when your eyes are dry. But, beneath and behind this rather irrelevant and matter-of-fact question of tears which can be originated by physical weakness, norvous Indisposition or other outside influences there lurks another serious and important one, which is more difficult to solve, and yet more difficult to explain. How much a personator has to lose his own individuality in the assumed char acter; bow much he has to feel its feel ings, is a problom most interesting to the publio and most essontial to the per formance. It would bo sheer conceit on my part to decide a suhjoct which bas evoked so many discussions by most competent judgus. "You are to bo the master of your part and not to bo mastered by it," says Talma; while Frederick Lemaitre, if I am not mistaken, claims that "wo ought not te perform tu Jharactor, but to live Its lifo." In a recent controversy In the magazines, fresh in our minds, two actors, both of the most exulted rank in the profession, have expressed opinions on this very lubject ontirely at varianoe with each other. The conclusion resulting from this variety of views seems to be that there is not such a thing as general rule. The itate of mind of Talma in his highest effort may have been quite different j irora that of Kachel in an analogous moment, and yet the effect obtained ; may have been the same. I go further. It seems to me that the same rule can not even be applied to i the same performer on two different oc I rasions. j Judging by myself I can only say that a certain disposition, excitement, or I whatever you call it, is at times a help, i at timet a hindrance to me. But then ! l it possible for us to give an exact j analysis of our state of mind whilst we are playing, to state the exact share of our identity divided between our pri : Vat character and the one we assume? To state accurately how much I feel tnt I am my own self and how much that I am the oth-r person is r psy- 1 etiological puzile that I am unable to solve. Of course, I know that I am sometimes more in my part, sometimes , more out of it, but why it ia to and how much it is so I can not say. And wbat is more, I strongly suspect that only a very few among my brothers , and sisters in art could answer it In re gard to themselves. Helena Modjika, in Arena. .
