The Philosophy of q Boil.

Philosophy and boil do not at first
glance appear to have much to do with each
other, but the medical summary bids us
"look at the philosophy of the boil, car
buncle and like affections" as follows
Some fault exists in the regular elimina-
tion, and the morbid material is collected
at some convenient point to force it out OF
the system in an extraordinary manner, and
1t will be noticed that wall of coagulable
lymph forms around it to complete the
enucleation, and the obvious indication is
to assist in this work, which can be done in
the most admirable way by applying colo
dion over the hardened, thickened part,
leaving the center uncovered.
On drying the collodion contracts and
thus firmly separates and protects the sur
rounding parts from the pestiferous mass.
By touching the suppurating points with
pure nitric acid and keeping TIE center OF
the tumor moist there is prompt dis
charge of the pus and rapid recovery.

While we talk of the work Of a great
master as being ever fresh we are secret,
ly sensible of the fact that it is no longer
fresh to us. After the second or third
hearing no piece Of music is ever the
same TO us again. In great and com.
plex work we may still for some time
continue to discover the unexpected, but
by the time we know it thoroughly il
has become but an echo of its former
self, and we greet it with the faint smile
with which we linger over the photo.

past years.

When the prayer from Rossini's "Mose'
was first performed in Naples, women
tainted and men trembled. There is very
little excitement to be got out Of the
prayer from "Mose" in the present day,

overture to "Tannhauser" will be dry
and cold. But this only shows how
much Of musical impressiveness depends

Infnnt ProdigIes.

The ranks of "infant prodigy" art are
increasing to an extent which is posi-
lively alarming to adult virtuosi, for
what chance has the veteran piano play
er or fiddler against the astonishing feats
Of those small boys, who, we are told,
leave their tops and balls in the dressing
room to come on the stage and electrify
an audience?
Master Rhyl Bowen, 5i-year-old vio'
linist, with an astonishing technique, has
just made his second public appearance
in London and is said to reveal greater
talent than did Sarasate at the same age.
1t is not unlikely that this small Welsh
boy will really develop into finished
adult artist, as his public appearances
will be rare, and his father, who is mu.
sician and instructs him, will not sacri,
flee him to rapacious management.
But then there is the pianist wonder,

What to Do with the Hands.

What to do with the hands gives more
trouble and anxiety to the lords Of creation
than woman generally supposes. If a
man Is at all shy or self conscious, those
members feel like veritable excrescences
which are quite foreign to the body and
have to be disposed of in some way or other
What relief it would be to thrust them
into the depths of ones pockets II 1t were
only permissible and get them comfortably
out Of sight. Some men compromise the
matter by hooking one thumb into the
pocket, thus leaving only the one hand to
be disposed of, which is n comfort as far as
itgoes. Others fold their arms In gloomy,
Eaturnine fashion, while others thrust them
behind as IL TO hide them altogether Chol-
ly and Chappie have very curious fashion
peculiarly their own and hang them loosely
from the shoulders little in advance of
the body, letting them waveHightly as they
enter room. But, according to an ex-
change in which the foregoing remarks oc,
cur, whatever is the style assumed it is
very noticeable thai not one man in ten is
absolutely unconscious of his hands or uses
them in o perfectly natural manner.

THE BlcYcLlsT,s sTooP.

Caused by Unwise Use OF an Excellent and
Agreeable Form of Exercise.
Many physicians are addicted to bicy.
cling, and their authority may be appealed
to in praise of the exercise as means Of
bringing the muscles into play, developing
the respiratory system, improving the cir
culation, clearing the deeper seated viscera
Of congestion, sending the blood to the in
tegument, and above all reacting in the
most healthful way on the nerAe centers.
At the same time the exercise Sliable to
abuse. One evil traceable to bicycling is
the confirmed "stoopn which has already
declared itself, says The Lancet, in many
"wheelmen"-a result indeed SO common
in the less strongly built bicyclists of the
European continent as to have found It's
way into classification as the "Kyphosis BIZ
cyclistarum."
The dorsal curvatve osteriorly--kypho-
sis proper--whch used to be rare in boys
under Ia years of age, is, now that the BIZ
cycle is SO largely used, frequently met
with, particularly among young bicyclists,
whose spinal column is developing more
rapidly than the lgaments and muscles.
and in whose case, therefore, the equilibri-
um between these several parts is more or
less disturbed. Were it merely an unsight-
ly deformity, the ''stoop" in question ought
to be combated in every way. But con.
frmed dorsal curvature posteriorly has sc.
quelB of its own quite mischievous enough
to call for immediate and effective coun.
teraction. The displacement, embarrassed
functional activity and arrested or diseased
development Of the thoracic viscera which
kypbosis inevitably induces are all too Sc.
rious to warrant the slightest neglect in
remedying item.
Exercise of kind to accustom the spinal
column to an action directly antagonistic
to the "tnclination forward" Of the bicy.
clist's attitude is manifestly indicated and
the use of Indian clubs or such similar
means of incurving the spine anteriorly,
throwing out the chest and maintaining
the head erect should be practiced. All
the undoubted advantages of bicycling
might thus be retained without that cult.

a hunchbacked development on what II
would then he a figure of speech to call the
"rising" generation.

Music and Decorations.
This style of entertainment is simply an
out of door reception, for which society
woman makes the following suggestions in
little handbook ON "Manners:" The re-
freshments should consist of bouilion,
salads, sandwiches, cakes, ices, tea, claret
cup, champagne cup and other summer
beverages. These should be served dh the
piazzas at small tables or in a tent pitched
somewhere on the lawn.
The tennis ground should be in good or.
der, also the croquet. II there is any boat
ing IN the immediate neighborhood. the
rowboats should be dry and ready for those
who care to go on the water.
If O platform is erected for the purpose
dancing is often indulsed in.
A band of music is quite necessary to the
proper enjoyment of garden party.
II a fete in the country is given at night
Chinese lanterns are much used, and hung
around the piazzas and from the branches Of
trees produce very brilliant and beautiful
effect.

When we should marry is question
which presents itself in many different

standpoint of health, TO determine what Of
feet early or late marriages may have, FIRST
ly, on the two persons Joined together by
the knot, and, secondly, ON their children,
which means on the human race at large.
In the past 10 years he has noted the age
of the parents in 29,s13 registered cases OF
the deaths Of children. These cases he di
vides into two groups, one containing oil
deaths caused by hereditary disease, the
other where death was due TO some disease
contracted after birth. From these he finds
that the age of the mother is more deter
mining in its results on the infant than the
fathers age though the latter Is by nc
means without effect, and thnt very young

Almost every man is proud of his name,
whatever it may be, and he dislikes to see
It misspelled or incorrectly written. There
are plenty of names which sound alike, but
which vary in the spelling perhaps by only
q single letter, and, too, in taking a mans
name it is not so difficult as one might i'm
Rgine to make mistake in the initials, for
there are letters which sound very much
alike. No man likes to receive package

hisname misspelled. However modest and

This table appears to bring out three Inn
portant points--frst, that men should not
marry before the age Of % IL they wish to
have healthy and strong children; second,
women between the ages of 80 and 35-and
this applies with still greater emphasis to
women under 30 years of age--ought not to
contract marriages with men who have

wise for women over S5 years of age to
marry men under 30 years.
