Treatment OF Ingrowing Nails.

Treatment OF Ingrowing Nails.
A very common and troublesome af-
lection is that which is popularity termed
1.-THE ingrowth of the nails" and which
most usually occurs by the side of the
great toe. There is really no altera-
Ton in the nail, as its name would i'm
ply; the surrounding soft parts are
first swelled and infamcd by constant
pressure against the edge of the nail
from the use of tight shoes If this
state is permitted to continue, an ulcer
is formed in which the edge Of the
nail Is imbedded. Pain Is the conse-
quence, sufficiently severe in some in
stances to prevent walking. Treat
meht for this condition often demands
the skill of physician. The sufferer
might attempt cure by the simpler
methods, and, if they fail. professional
assistance should be sought The. first
object is to remove the cause, then to
lessen the irritation and reduce the
swelling. After soaking in hot water
the nail should DO thinned by scrap:ng.
and, if very painful, flaxseed poul-
tice will bring relief. After the irri-
tation has sufficiently subsidized, soft
cotton should be pressed between the
flesh and the nail. and after that is done,
it should be saturated with the tincture
of iodine. and the application repeated
several days after which the tenderness

Is usually effective. and is attended
with as little pain as any which can be
suggested. boston Journal Of Health.

Seven Millions Drowned.

One estimate OF the number of per.
sons drowned by the late great food in
China Is 1000, 900. This is made b.
English residents in China who hnve
access to the best sources of informa-
ton. II this Is anywhere near the
truth The destruction of life b. one
disaster is unexampied in historic
time. The number lost is greater than
the population of Ireland to-day. 1t is
about double that OF the inhabitants of
the continent of Australia. It is great
er than the population of our country
some years after the adoption of our
constitution. 1t is larger than the
populat on of Indiana and Illinois now.
Nobody knows how many people
there are in China. The number has
been estimated from 2o0,000,000 TO
400. 0O0 600. and the popuIat on has
long pressed upon the means of subsist-
ence. Over seventy years ago an En-
glish m mister wrote book '-On Popu-
lation," which furnished new word
to the language and texts for hundreds
of books since. He showed that at the
rate of usual increase the world would
soon be so crowded that starvation
must certainly ensue. He illustrated
his theory by the increase of rabbits.
showing now soon the, would destroy
every green thing from off the face OF
the earth. This was long before the
rabbits proved his theory in Australia.
But this author showed how the
natural increase of population was held
in check by war, disease, famine.
pestilence, floods, and other natural
causes. HIS theory has received
new illustration in the crowded
old empire of China recent.
People die there by crowds.
Only the other day four thousand were
swept away in trying to construct a
dam against the flood of Yellow river
A disaster in China is not worthy OF
mention unless several hundred are
killed. Recently q ship went down
with seven hundred on board. About
one hundred were killed in a mine en-
plosion at Vancouver a week ago.
Evidently the great law of Nautilus is
operating. In China even the rivers
are crowded with an amphibious popu-
lation. Little gardens are TILED on the
river craft. Every foot of land is util-
lied, and every ounce of anything
that can be used as fertilizer. The
Oh nese are pouring out in swarms over
all the islands of the Pac fic, over
South Amer ca, over the East Indian
islands. and now they threaten North
America. Great as was the destruc-
ton of life in the late flood. it will soon
not be noticed in any apprecable de-
crease of population. The Chinese
increase like the locusts. and the death
of few millions does not dimin sh The
tide or its effects. More of them die
than of any other people. because
more of them live; but the same mys-
terious law that causes more boys to be
born after war than g rls will di-
minish the Chinese population to a
proper ratio with the means of sub
sistence. 1t will not be necessary to
introduce microbe among them, as
Pasteur proposes with the rabbi is of
Australia. to keep them from devouring
the earth Chicago Times.

Strange Notions About Eating.

Strange Notions ABOUT EaLlnS.
Mans people seem to imagine that
eating is the great business of life and
the chief end of existence. and food a
panacea for all the ills of life. We fire..

The rule has been that the sons or

600 in the hands of his namesake and
and grandson and will soon descend to
his great grandson, W liam Waldorf
Astor, increas ng at yearly rate OF
from ten to twenty millions. The
reason for this is that the Astors OF
each generation are educated in the
thrifty German habits of the founder
of the family. Instead OF doing what
the average American who achieves
fortune does, declaring that he does not
want his boys to undergo the hardships
and trials that he went through. and
teaching them nothing about money
and its value except the readiest and
foolishest way to get rid of II. the Astors
have trained their sons in all the de-
tails of the arrangements of their i'm
mense estate. They are taught to avoid
kite fly ng speculations, to live plainly
and unostentatiously and invest their
accumulations in more real estate. The
result is the Astor estate has not lacked
