How to Remore Scar,

Scars are always unsightly, and are Of
ten painful or inconvenient, 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
pulation. which he directs to be employed
as follows: Place the ends of two or three
fingers on 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 vibratile motion should be
changed every 10 or Is seconds until the
whole scar has been treated, if it be of
moderate size. If the scar be the result
of a 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. II the scar be
comes irritable, suspend treatment until it
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--the development of en-
tirely new sets of blood vessels in the cica-
tricial tissue-N y. Sun

The Indiana Way.

A minister residing in town in Indiana
was hurriedly sent for one day TO conduct the
services over the remains of farmer to be
buried from his home in the country. In the
hurry and excitement, added to the fact thai
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 ther
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 thai
death was liable TO come at"
He wasn't in his prime, but was 20 years

although he was an old man." resumed
the clergyman, after swallowing lump in his
throat, che will be greatly missed by large
circle of friends and relations. Death"
Didn't have 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, ''his church will sadly
realize the vacancy. He joined the Baptist
Church at an early"
"Always trained with the Methodists, 1"
whispered the friend.
HE joined the Methodist Church years ago,
and has always been an en-"
''0nly joined last winter!"
"He was gentleman" observed the clergy
man, with great effort. "He died full of faith
that he"
''He isn't dead at all-he's only in trancel'
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;
somebody gimme my breeches and boots. "

Telephonic.

The witty parographer and the funny man
of the newspapers have recently struck new
lead in recounting the amusing mistakes which
may occur by operators giving the wrong par
ty to subscriber, or switching of some one
who has begun conversation and connecting
him with others who are talking.
sample story is about a customer who
rang up his butcher to inquire what be had
put in the last sausage sold him. Before the
butcher could respond the operator disconnec-
ted him, and the customer was let into con-
yersation 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 Der, a butcher boy 5
account of the slaughtcring of 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 boarse 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
pretty good sample of amusing errors which
may occur, reported from the office of gentle
man in Honolulu, and as its truth is vouched
for, it is additionally interesting. A young
business man rang up, calling for gentleman
friend. The operator mistook the number, and
a lady,s voice answered, Hello, what do you

in surgery. He did save good many lives,

an odd way too.

clumsy to acquire great facility at this
sort OF work, and it seems especially suited
to 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 I'M
