Treatment Of q Felon.

Take some salt, roast it on hot
stove until all the chlorine gas is thrown
of. or it is all dry as You can make it.
Take a teaspoonful and also 3 tea
spoonful of Venice turpentine; mix
them well into poultice and apply to q
felon. If you have ten felons at once,
make as many poultices. Renew the
poulfice twice q day. In four or five
days your felon will, if not opened be-
fore your poultice is first put on. present
q hole down to the bone where the pent-
up matter was before your poultice
brought it out. If the felon has been
cut open, or opened itself. or is about
to take off the finger to the first joint,

stop it right there, and in time your
finger will get well, even if one of the
first bones is gone. OF course it will
not restore the lost bone, but it will get

whom he might never zee again; and
with good resolves in his heart bid
adieu to his native land, in the hope
that his future life might redeem, in his

it must be remembered, is exclusive OF
the bills introduced into Congress, which
would make the total high in the hun

for the next quarter $500; for the third

over 4, 900 titles. At present less than
5 900 co les are rarely printed, while of

There are on the payroll 400 compost

reams of printing paper or $4,000, 900
sheets, each sheet making eight or six
teen pages.
The documents are of all sizes and re-
late to every imaginable topic. Some are
great thick quartos. like the census vol.
umes of the medical History of the
War;" and at the other extreme are
thousands Of pamphlet reports on small
matters. The largest single publication
ever undertaken by the Government is
"The Tenth Census" which, if complet-
ed, would fill about twenty four large
quarto volumes. Only bali of these have
been issued or ever will be; but, even as
it is, "The Centennial Census" is prob
ably the most voluminous public docu-
ment, not counting as one serial the var

'This string must have." he seemed to say,
As he bobbed his head In n comical way
Perhaps to Obtain 1t may cost me some
But the beautiful string is much nicer than

And better than any thing else can be
To fasten my house TO the apple tree;
And so, thus he chirped, as he stood on his
" think will carry it OF and-here goes!"
But had he been gwen the strength ana
OF all the robins on Bernor Hight,
And had they all pulled to their very utmost,
They couldn't have broken the string from
the post
And hence in Juggling away at the string
And trying to do an impossible thing,
For though he had will, he was wanting q

But still he kept trying. again and again.
Al last, after twenty odd failures, just then
An unseen friend, who happened to be
