PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.


Treatment Suggested for that TroublesoAs
Affection. an Ingrowing Nail.
Ingrowth OF the nailsis an exceedingly OBJ
stinate and troublesome affection, and espe.
cially annoying when 1t occurs at the side Of
the great toe. According to The journal Of
Health there 10 not really any alteration in
the nail, "a the name would imply, but the
surrounding soft parts are first swelled and
inhamed by constant pressure against the
nail from the use Of tight shoes. II this state
is permitted to continue, an ulcer IL formed
in which the edge of the nail Is imbedded.
Pain Is the consequence, sufficiently severe
In some instances to prevent walking.
Treatment for this condition often de-
mands the skill Of a physician. The
sufferer might attempt cure by the
simpler methods, and, il they fail, pro-
fessional assistance should be sought.
The first object is to remove the cause, then
to lessen the irritation and reduce the SWELL
ing. After soaking in hot water the nail
should be thinned by scraping, and, il very
painful, faxseed poultice will bring relief.
After the irritation has sufficiently subsidized,
soft cotton should be pressed between the
flesh and the nail, and after that is done, it
should be saturated with tincture of iodine,
and the application repeated several days,
after which the tenderness will disappear. It
may be necessary to lift the end of the nail,
and this can be done by pressing cotton be-
tween 1t and the toe. This treatment is
usually effective, and is attended with as
little pain as any which can be suggested.

Miniature Cases and Lockets.


Solid silver frames for cabinet photographs
have not yet ceased to charm by their nov
city, and now come sterling silver miniature
cases and lockets in unique designs The
miniature cases have open faces and are for
the most part oval in form, though there are
some square ones that simulate regular pict-
ure frames These cases are quite large In
size, although designed to be worn on
chatelaine, where are collected veritable
curiosities nowadays The backs of the cases
are, as rule, slightly rounding and elabor-
ately wrought in repousse work Some of
these copy the designs on old time affairs
while others are modern in pattern. One
seen was in arabesque pattern in vari-colored
enamel
Lockets. which have for long time been
struggling to gain public recognition once
more, are now to the front and are worn by
both sexes, ladies finding place for them
sometimes as a charm on the queen chain,
and sometimes on the chatelaine.
There is an infinite variety of patterns
shown in lockets There are all gold ones,
all silver ones, enameled ones and gem set
ones No special form is recognized as the
only true one for the locket, though oblong
and round shapes prevail. There are quite
pretty little affairs shaped like shell, an
almond and book.

Improving the Eyebrows.

Faint or almost imperceptible eyebrows
are q not uncommon drawback to an other
wise agreeable personal appearance. For
this annoyance an ingenious and fashionable
tonsorial artist prescribes the following
treatment to his customers, with the as
surance that in few cases does it fail to ef-
feet the desired improvement:
First, clip the hairs to an equal length, and
then gently but thoroughly rub the skin
with sweet oil. OF course one trial will not
accomplish the end, but few will. Should
the hair of the brows fall out or be burned,
use compound Of five grains of sulphate Of
quinine and one ounce of alcohol. This will
not only cause the hair to grow, but will
make it soft and glossy.

Sweet Oil in Scarlet Fever.

A physician tells Of simple and effectual
treatment for scarlet fever. It is the appli-
cation to the whole body Of warm sweet oil,
well rubbed in. He says: "There is some
thing curious in its immediate good effect
Almost twenty years ago had five patients
in one family sick with the anginose or
throat variety of scarlet fever, and had them
all brought into one room for convenience
sake, as well as seclusion. Five little heads
returned my greeting every time visit was
made, and all clamored loudly for the oil
bath. 1t was plentifully used, then wooden
nightgown put on, and nothing else done.
No medicine was given and but little food
was needed to supplement absorbed OIL And
in recovery there was an absence of usual
complications, so that in my western town
oil baths came to be generally used with ex-
cellent result"

A New Law in the Hydraulics of Rivers

A New Law in the Hydraulics of Rivers.
Maj. Powell's letter to the New Orleans
chamber of commerce, on the relief of the
anuvial lands of the lower Mississippi from
destructive floods according to Science, con-
tains the first formal announcement of a new
law in the hydraulics of rivers. It is set
forth in these words: 'sThe cutting power of
stream increases rapidly with the increase
of sed;mentary load" This principle was
briefly stated by Maj. Powell in a short oral
address before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, about ten years
ago, and be has Indirectly referred to it two
or three times since, in a word or two, in his
writings but this is the first specific state
ment of it that he has made, and this he
considers as barely more than indicating the
line Of discussion which he has long intended
to pursue in a volume that he proposes to
write upon the subject. But the principle u
stated in this paper with sufficient detail and
illustration to arrest the attention OF physic-
lists and engineers and to give rise to an In
teresting discussion.

A Pretty Fashion for Weddings.

A pretty fashion has lately found its way
into bridal entertainments, and that is the
sprinkling of bride and bridegroom with
rose petals instead Of rice, which is not
pleasant process for those 80 honored, or
safe one sometimes, where horses are con-
cerned. The petals may be of all colors-
but white for preference-and they are gath
cred into little baskets or white satin bags,
distributed at the last moment. The fashion
Of tracing designs on dinner tables. in and
out of dishes, flower receptacles, etc., with
flower petals is also carried to most artistic
height at present The petals should corre-
spond with the flowers in these receptaclea
Field peoples and green barley is one OF the
fashionable floral combinations of the day
Feathery shrub spirea is beautiful when put
into tall glasses lightly, but in tolerably big
sprays, with the addition of the largle purple
clenatis Tea roses and clematis are also
put together on dinner tables.

FIG THE PLAsTRON NIGHT GOWN
row embroidery and fine Torchon insertion
sewn together; cream ribbons draw the frill-
ing together, which has the great advantage
of pulling out quite fatty when washed; the
collar has fairylike tucks, and is edged with
lace One nightgown with pointed vest Of
insertion alternating with tuck Of the same
width, fastens on one side with ruffles Of
Valenciennes, the same lace being exquisitely
arranged at the wrist, and tied with different
colored ribbons, which are run through the
lace. A yoke made of small box pleated
tucks flowing out fully below the edge,
brought in again with fine gatherings at the
waist, and finished off by bows Of ribbon,
had very good effect
The night gown illustrated in the cut may
be made Of lawn, cambria or French percale.
1t is trimmed in front with graceful jabot
Of lace and the plastron is framed with in
sertion.
Chemises are made for the most part
simply gathered round the shoulders, with
fine torchon or valenciennes lace frills, and
in all instances narrow pink, blue or cream
ribbons are run in and tied low in 'front.'
Some are made in an exceedingly good de-
sign for the evening bodice so much in
fashion now a buttonhole is worked in front
little way from the top, which is tied down
toit by bow of ribbon, thus forming ex-
actly the required shape. Others are made
for ball gowns quite straight round, with no
sleeve or shoulder strap

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Why Reserve of Manner Is Inevitable in
Even the Kindliest of City Folk.
The season of summer boarding and travel
gives occasion to many complaints and criti-
cisms against those who do not show cor
diality enough to strangers In considering
this subject, with special reference to man
ners at watering places, Harper's Bazaar gives
the following among reasons for this state of
things:
It is to be noticed that this complaint is
made to large extent by the country
against the city.
Now it is inevitable that the kindliest peo-
pie living in cities should fall into greater
reserve Of manner toward strangers than
that developed in the country, where people
know all about their neighbors In city
you cannot nod to everybody you meet on
the street; there is not time for it. You can
not even call on those who live in the same
block with YOU You may be living in the
next house to a professional gambler and
have no means Of ascertaining the fact All
these things produce in people from cities
habit of more guarded intercourse, which is
certainly less pleasant than the kindlier
country way, but is not easy to lay aside.
Again, the mere possession of a new acquaint-
ance, as such, is a privilege to one who habit
ually lives an isolated life, but is not thing
so eagerly desired by those who live in
crowd all the time, and have rather to &C.
quire the habit of defending themselves
against numbers. Indeed great deal of
what is called hospitality in thinly settled
regions and new communities has no especial
unselfishness about it; where neighbors and
guests are few it is really the visitor who
confers the favor. To give the pleasure of
his company becomes in that case phrase of
some meaning.
But above all it is to be remembered that
there are always great many people, num-
bering, perhaps, even the majority of sum-
mer visitors, who so to the country or the
sea shore for rest and quiet. not for ex-
element OF novelty. They are overworked
all the rest of the year in our busy America,
and it is only when away from home that
they find the possibility of quiet It is hard
to see why this pursuit of peace is not thing
in itself as innocent as the search for gayety,
and as much to be respected
In conclusion, the authority quoted affirms
that we are coming to recognize the right Of
social self defense, a right which hardly has
the vestige of recognition in a mining town,
where man thinks it reasonable to shoot
you unless you drink with him; but which,
when fully recognized, will also allow
summer boarder to select his own intimates
This right can never justify rudeness, but it
may sometimes justify little modest seclu-
sion.

Miniature,

The origin Of the word miniature" is a.
follows: In the golden days of Roman litera-
ture, to be a successful author was to be as
great as king, for kings looked to their
poets for Immortality, as Augustus Caesar
did to Horace. Hence it was to be expected
that authors would feel their importance and
display more or less vanity. One Of their
weaknesses was to see their portraits painted
in artistic fashion in their parchment books.
This work was intrusted to artists called
'miniatores," that is, artists whose work was
largely done in vermilion, a color extracted
from cinnabar, and called by the Romans
"mlnimum Those "miniatores" chose the
oval form for their beautifully brilliant por.
traits on the parchment books, and hence
the origin of the term miniature" small
hand painted oval or round portrait

Temperature for Boiling Water.

Water boils at a lower temperature than
212 dogs. Fahrenheit when the air is not
allowed to press upon it. Fill glass flask
half full of water, boil it briskly; while the
steam is escaping cork it, removing the heat
from under it Immediately. The cold air
condenses the steam, the cork prevents the
air from entering, and the water, thus re-
lieved from pressure, begins to boil, the heat
already in it being sufficient for that pur
pose Put the flask into cold water; the
ebullition then increases, the steam being still
more effectually condensed. Put the flask
into boiling water and the boiling stops
