A free application of soft soap to a
fresh burn almost instantly removes
the fire from the flesh. If the injury
is very severe, as soon as the pain
ceases apply linseed oil, and then
dust over with fine flour. When this
covering dries hard repeat the oil and
the flour dressing until a good coating
is obtained. When the latter dries
allow it to stand until it cracks and
falls off, as it viii do in day or two,
and new skin will be found to have
formed where the skin was burned.

The Scientific American gives busl-
ness men this good advice: ut
should be borne in mind by every
business man that his letter paper is
his representative to many people
| who nave never seen him and who
are likely to form their judgement OF
him, to large extent, by the quail
ties of his proxy. A man who uses
poverty striken stationery stands in
bad light to those he addresses him
self to. For the sake of economizing
a few cents he gratuitously prejudice:
himself IN the opinion of many people
who may be of Importance to him
for good stationery is like good suit
of clothes, and so long as men con
tinue to Judge from appearances, they
will find both of value to them"
The moral in the following, one o
Esop's fables, can be applied by
business men, by farmers, by poll
ticians, by those interested in th'
growth of Morris and by many Others
as we'll as by quarrelsome families
"a husbandman who had a quarrel
some family, after having tried il
vain to reconcile them by words
thought he might more readily pre-
vail by example. So he called hi
sons and babe them lay bundle o
sticks before him. Then having tie
them up into a faggot, he told tn
lads, one after another, to take it Vi
and break it. They all tried, bu
tried In vain. Then, untying tn
faggot, he gave them the sticks t
break one by one. This they did with
the greatest ease. Then said tn
father: "Thus, my sons, as long a
you remain united, you are q matc
, for all your enemies; but differ an
: seperate, and you are undone."
