WhitloWs.

Whitlows are among the most painful
ailments TO which we are liable, Most
of the suffering, however could be
avoided II they were properly treated
and attendedto at once. There are three
kinds of whitlows.
The least troublesome is an inilamma-
ton Of the skin on some part of the fin
ger, generally due to an animal poison
absorbed in some slight scratch or abra-
sion. Cooks and poultry-dealers are
specially subject to it, from the hand
ling of "high" game. There is not
much swelling. but the inflammation
tends to spread up the finger and tho
hand. 1t is readily checked by apply
ing to it, anda little beyond the REDEEM
ed part pretty strong solution of
nitrate of silver.
The second kind of whitlow usually
appears about the nail. or the tip of the
finger, and is due to some slight, per-
haps unnoticed, injury. Pus forms
rapidly under the skin, and there is n
severe, throbbiug pain. This can be at
once and easily relieved by opening the
skin above il. lf-as is sometimes the
case--it is under the nail, the pus may
be reached and let out by carefully cut
ting away the edge of the nail; or, if it
is near the roots, by pairing down the
nail with "A sharp knife.
The third generally called a
felon-iS an inflammation and suppura-
ton beneath the membrance (perios-
teum) that covers the bone. 1t is usually
on the last, spongy Joint of the finger.
II left to itself, the pus will work to the
surface, But the process is very slow
and very painful, and results in destroy
ing the terminal bone. Treating it with
"soap and sugar and poultices is
worse than useless, Have a physician
open it to the bone the earlier the bet

Mormon Marriages.

The special correspondent of the New
York World writes from Salt Lake,
whence he was sent to picture the pleas
ures and conveniences of polygamy,
that Mormon friend enumerated at his
request the following anomalies that he
knew of in recent polygamous mar
riages
"A young and very pretty girl in the
upper ten Of Mormonism, married
young man of her own class, but stipu-
lated before marriage that he should
marry second wife as soon as he could
afford to do so. Against his will she
has now kept him to his promise
"A young couple were engaged, but
quarreled, and the lover out of pique
married another lady. Two years later
his first love, having refused other offers
in the meantime. married him as his
second wife.
"A man having married a second
wife to please himself, married a third
to please his first.
"A couple about to be married made
an agreement between themselves that
the husbands second wife should be one
of the relatives of the first wife. The
lady who was selected refused. and the
husband remained true to his promise
for ten years. At the end of this time
his first wife voluntarily chose another
mate for him.
"The belle Of the settlement, gentle,
refused monogamist offers of marriage,
and married a Mormon who had two
wives already.
"a girl, distracted between her love
for her suitor and her love for her
mother, compromised in her affections
by STIMULATING that he should marry
both her mother and herself, which he
: did.
"A girl, a gentle, bitterly opposed at
first TO polyg"n,y, nnairieu polygamist
at the solicitation of his first wife, her
great friend.
1.-TWO girls were good friends, and
one of them, getting engaged to man
by no means of prepossessing appear
ance, persuaded her friend to get en-
gagged to him too, and he married them
both on the same day"

Beautify Your School Rooms.

Teachers, have you done anything
toward identifying your school-rooms?
II you have not, do not permit another
week to pass without doing something
in this direction. Tine and money eX-
pended in this way willpay you a great
er dividend than any other investment
that you can make. BY doing so, you
will not only render your schooI-rooms
attractive and home-like, but you will
have accomplished a work that will as
sist you very much in the government
of your pupils. 1t will not only do this
but it will promote the interest of your
schools in every respect ii will cause
the patrons of your schools to have
higher regard for you, and they will
take deeper interest and work harder
for the success of your schools than they
otherwise would have done. If YOU de-
sire your pupils to attend promptly and
always be on time, make your school
rooms more pleasant and attractive than
their homes; then you will accomplish
your desire, and not until then,
No wonder SO many children almost
hate the school-room. How could they
do otherwise, when they are compelled
to sit all day in room whose walls are
as black and dirty as barn? Teach
ers, decorate your walls with beautiful
pictures and appropriate notices, and
you will be amply paid for your trou-
BILE. If you do not think you are able
yourself, ask your pupils to assist you;
you will find many anxious TO do what
they can. If You secure their help in
this work, instead of trying to tear
down their schOol-houSe. they will be
interested in its Identification, and do
all in their power to make it beautiful
BY decorating your schoo,-roomS with
beautiful works Of art and appropriate
notices, YOU will not only render it
pleasant and captivating but YOU will
cultivate the taste Of your pupils and
give them a higher conception of the
beautiful than they otherwise would
have acquired.
Teachers, after you have made every
thing around you pleasant and lascinat-
ing, do not forget yourselves II there
is any person in the world that should
look neat, surely it is the teacher. He
should never enter the school-room
without first making himself rs neat
and becoming as circumstances will
permit When you arise in the morn
ing do not forget to put on your smiles,
wear them TO the school-room, and keep
them on all day. DO not take them oil
as soon as you get in sightoi the school

in your desk and lock them up for fear

Hunting Turkeys in Georgia.

The boys on Wallan's Creek, Georgia,
have adopted novel way to catch wild
cobblers. When they take it into their
beads to make n raid on this monstrous
wild bird, they simply provide them
selves with fleet horses and a pack OF
dogs as their only implements of war
fare. Thus equipped they HE away to
the woods, and when they find their
game they simply put spurs on their
horses and proceed to chase as though
it were fox instead of turkey. A fat
gobbler, it is said, cannot fly great
distance and when be pitches, if on the
ground he takes to his heels till he is
so closely pursued by the dogs that he
is compelled to resort again to his wings
for safety. Thus the chase is kept up
continuously until the gobbler becomes
completely tagged out and can neither
run nor fly, when, of course, ne has TO
succumb to his pursuers.
