How to Remove Scars

Scars are always unsightly, and are of
ten painful or inconyenient, on account of
their propensity to contract as they be
come older. DR.. Wark. of New York, as
serts that they may be removed by mani.
mutation, which he directs to be employed
as follows: Place the ends of two or three
fingers on a scar If it be small one, and
on the margin if it be large, and vibrate
the surface on the tissues beneath. The
surface itself is not to be subjected TO any
friction: all the motion must be between
the integument and the deeper parts The
location Of the yibratile motion should be
changed every 10 or Is seconds until the
whole scar has been treated, if 1t be of
moderate size. II the scar be the result
of large scald or burn, the margins only
should be treated at first: the advances
toward the center should be deferred I'M
til the nutrition Of the margins has been
decidedly improved Only little treat
ment should be applied to any one spot at
the same time. but the vibrations should
be repeated as many as 20 times a day,
but never with sufficient frequency or
severity to cause pain. III the scar be
comes irritable, suspend treatment until 1t
subsidies. In the course of two or three
weeks of faithful treatment. the surfaces
of the scars of moderate size becomes more
movable. and will begin to form wrinkles
like true skin, when pressed from side to
side. All these changes are due to i'm
proved nutrition, consequent on better
blood circulation development of en-
tirely new sets of blood vessels in the cica-
tricial tissne-N. y. Sun.

The Indiana Way

A minister residing in town in Indiana,
was hurriedly sent for one day 10 conduct the
services over the remains of a farmer to be
buried from his home in the country. In the
hurry and excitement, added to the fact that
his buggy broke down on the trip, the good
man arrived at the last moment. Without
holding any conversation with friends Of the
deceased, he lead in singing hymn, and then
began:
"Death comes to ALL Though the deceased
was stricken down in the bloom Of life, She"
at was the old mar, ;" whispered one Of the
friends at the minister's elbow.
Although in the prime Of life, he knew that
death was liable TO come at"
"He wasn't in his prime, but was 20 years
DID," whispered the friend.
although he was an old man." resumed
the clergyman, after swallowing a lump in his
throat, "hc will be greatly missed by large
circle Of friends and relations. Death
Didn't have a FREUD or relation except the
old woman" put in the man.
ALTHOUGH. as / said, he may not be missed
in his home" said the now thoroughly en-
barrassed minister, CHS church will sadly
realize the vacancy. He joined the Baptist
Church at an early"

whispered the friend.
"He joined the Methodist Church years ago,

''Only joined last wintcrl"
Gle was a gentleman" observed the clergy
man, with great effort. "He died full Of faith
that he"
"He isn't dead at all-hc's only in a traucel"
yelled one of the crowd nearest the coffin, and
the next moment the old man sat up, looked
around for minute and then called out:
"Must be mighty near time TO feed them hogs

The witty paragrapher and the funny mar
of the newspapers have recently struck a new
lead in recounting the amusing mistakes which
may occur by operators giving the wrong par
ty to a subscriber, or switching oil some one
who has begun conversation and connecting
him with others who are talking.
4 sample story is about customer who
rang up his butcher to inquire what he had
put in the last sausage sold him. Before the
butcher could respond the operator disconnec-
ted him, and the customer was let into a coll
versation between two men about well which
had just been cleaned, and the one who was
talking was relating what he had found in it.
The customer only heard "two dead cats, three
rats, and" when he threw down the tele-
phone in horror, and the agonies of cholera
patient were endured by him for the next hour.
Another tells Of how young lady was shock
ed by having, unknown TO her, a butcher boy S
account Of the slaughtering Of a calf switched
in upon young mans description Of runa-
way in which mutual young lady friend was
concerned. In the midst of the account the
Lady listener heard a hoarse voice say, 81 then
cut her throat, grabbed her by the leg, and"
and dead swoon prevented her hearing the
conclusion.
a mistake not exactly of this kind, but still
a pretty good sample OF amusing errors which
may occur, reported from the Office ola gentle
man in Honolulu, and as its truth is vouched
for, it is additionally interesting. A young
business man rang mp, calling for gentleman
friend. The operator mistOok the number, and
a lady's voice answered, Hello, what do you

A Darling Doctor.

There is big difference in doctors, l tell

"Well, say nothing about anything else, just

COW founding asylum in Utah before the war;
and when he had TO prescribe for human be-
ing it seemed to kind Of rattle him.
81 fell off'n my horse early in the campaign
and broke my leg, rickolect, and he set the
bone. He thought that bone should be set
similar 10 a hen. He made what he called a
good splice, but the break was above the knee,
and he got the COW idea into his head in a way
that set the knee behind. That was bad.
81 told him one day that he was a blamed
fool. He gave me a cigar, and told me must
be a mind reader.
"For several weeks our colonel couldn't eat
anything, and seemed to feel kind Of bilious.
He didn't know what the trouble was until he
went TO the doctor. He looked at the colonel
a few moments, examined his tongue, and told
him right off that he had lost his cud.
"This doctor was always telling his triumphs
in surgery. He did save good many lives,
too, toward the close of the war. He did it in
an odd way too.
"He had about one more year TO serve and,
with his doctorng on ono side and the hostility
Of the enemy on the other, our regiment was
wore down to about 500 men. Everybody said
we couldn't stand it more than another year.
One day however, the doctor had just meas
ured man for a porus plaster, and had laid
the stub of his cigar carefully down on the top
of red powder keg, when there was a slight
atmospheric disturbance, the smell of burnt
clothes, and our regiment had to apply for
new surgeon.
"Thc wife Of our late surgeon wrote to have
her husbands remains forwarded to her, but
told her it would be very difficult to do so,
owing to the nature Of the accident. l said,
however, that we had found an upper set OF
store teeth Embedded in palmetto tree near
by, and had buried them with military honors,
erecting over the grave large board on which
was inscribed the name and age Of the deceased
and this inscription:

The stenographer is rapidly being sue

clumsy to acquire great facility at this
sort Of work, and it seems especially suited
10 women. The advantage which it pos
sesses over the older fashion is that the
work is finished when the operator has
reached the end. A large element Of un-
certainty enters into life when one en-
ploys a stenographer. With the type
writing girls it is different. As d rule
they are busy copying supreme court

without the slightest regret, and they ap-
