INeRowlNG TOE NAIL.
A Physician's simple Plan For Efrectin,
Speedy and Complete Cure.


Speedy and Complete Cure.
In the opinion Of DR.. J. A. Baton, as ex-
pressed In medical journal, ipgrowing
toe naiP' Is simply a mass of granulated
tissue springing from sore at the margin
Of the nail, the nail itself being In It's nor
NAL position, and he suggests the follow
ing cure!
Dust over the granulations at the bottom
of the fssure with aristol OF iodoform, and
on top Of this put a small piece of lint or
cotton. Take a piece of rubber bandage
one-half inch wide and 10 to Ia inches long,
and II it the inside of the toe that is affect
ed carry the bandage over the nail toward
the in1amed structure. This, as you will
observe, will have tendency to carry this
mass away from the nail.
Beginning at the extreme end of the toe,
carry the bandage back with such pressure
as the patient can comfortably stand until
the whole area of inflammation is included
Fasten it by means of light gum band or
tapes fastened to the end of the bandage
The patient is then able to wear his shoe
and attend to his ordinary duties. The
bandage can be removed at night and reap
piled by the patient If desirable the first
thing in the morning. In a few days the
mass will have disappeared, and q COM
plete cure can be affected in brief period.

FANCY WORK.

Styles Now Popular In Two OF Three Arti-
oles That Are Useful as Well as Pretty.
Fine white linen is much used In fancy
work, and charming photograph frames
are now made Of IL. The linen is powdered
all over with Dresden china flowers, either
painted or embroidered, and this is used TO
cover pasteboard frames which have one or
two openings, or which are several fold, as
the case may be. The linen may be pasted
or sewed on the cardboard, but the work
must be very neatly done. Those in the
shops are 30 perfectly made that they look
almost like the Dresden china which they
initiate.
An infants bath blanket or afghan is
made Of double Germantown wool. in
white or blue or white and pink. With
coarse hook make a chain the desired
length and work in single crochet, taking
up only the back loop Of the stitch. At the
seventh stitch put in two; at the four
teenth skip one, and so on, alternately
widening and narrowing at every seventh
stitch. This produces vandyked effect
which is very handsome. Crochet three
ridges of white and three of the color.
Fringe is not used on these blankets.
To the foregoing The Decorator and Fur
nisher adds the suggestion that any one
who understands netting may make very
effective sofa pillow by simply covering it
with blue denim on turkey red and laying
over this a netting made Of white cord.

the hands Of an Englishman who now has
II in London.
The egg, which is Whitley brown in color
and unbroken, is fine specimen, S31S inches
by 28 inches, and an even higher value is
placed upon it than upon the egg of the
great aux, which lived within the memory
of man. The Brobdignagian proportions
of the egg are better demonstrated by COM
parison with the eggs Of the ostrich and
crocodile.
An ostrich's egg is about II inches by Is
inches, and the contents of six such are
only equal to one egg Of the Epyornis.
The measurements of the egg of the croco-
dile are normally inches by 61S inches. 1t
would require the contents of 16S emu's
eggs to equal the contents Of this great egg,
or 14S eggs Of the homely fowl, or $4,000 of
the hummlng bird. The last egg Of the
kind disposed Of in London sold for 9100,

complete the design, and in many instances
the white enamel is lightly touched In
places with delicate color.
The same effect can be nicely reproduced
In water colors on white wood, unglazed
terra Gotta or thin metal. Black and white
water colors can be painted as finely as any
black and white enamels. The half tones
In the white do not show when it is first ap-
piled, but they must be carefully allowed
for as the design is being painted, and it
must be remembered that where the white

Opaque color. The effect Of the gold can be
seen at once.
The best colors to use are lampblack,
Chinese white and gold. The whole work

over with two or three coats of the black

till the first is dry.
When the white is done, the gold Is laid
on, being used sparingly and mostly on the
black. When the gold is put on, the work
should be very carefully examined, espe-
cially the black groundwork, and any
marks of pencil or other stains painted over
again.
Copal varnish can now be put over all
with a soft brush, quickly and as thin as
possible. The first coat will nearly all sink
into the wood, and when it is dry second
coat will begin to show the beauty Of the
work; third coat is. however, almost al

emily at will in the fields surrounding a
pretty red brick cottage on the river bank.
And more than once ladies and children
have been rendered somewhat nervous at
the appearance Of tall, handsome military
looking man seated on the lock, with a
sleek lioness crouching at his side, watching
the smoke wreaths curling from his ciga-

Captain Marshall, for so the gentleman
is named, recently showed his collection to
a visitor, who among other interesting rec

to belle its nature, for it welcomes its owner
and master as effusively as the leopard, and
we reach a large loose box in which are
stabbed the gnus.
Shy, delicate, frightened things they are,
the very hideousness of their bisonlike
heads completely overshadowed by the soft,
nervous eyes, the beautiful shape of their
bodies, the long, white silken tails; the
long, thin legs like those Of a thoroughbred,
terminating in four cloven feet like those
of a COW.
Strange looking animals, are they not"
asks my guide. Perfectly untamable.
Not because they are fierce, but because
they are SO frightened. suppose they
could be put to some use, too, if they could
be tanned, for they must be both strong and

Castor OIL Prevents Belts Slipping.

World as saying that he has never tried
anything SO effective to prevent belts slip

is to let 1t run from bottle in small
stream on the belt while it is in motion,
commencing at one edge Of the belt, NOV

Welding Rails by ELECTRICITY.

Welding rails by electricity seems to have
become very nearly practical success, ac-
cording to an industrial authority. Strange
the expansion and contraction of the rails
do not constitute an element of failure.
The bulging of the rails held fast by strong
spikes, is sufficient apparently to compen-
safe for the increasing and diminishing
lengths When joints are abandoned, the
constant and annoying clicking, caused by
the wheels passing from one rail to another,
will be avoided.

New Method of ColorIng Leather.

A German inventor has brought forward
new process by which it is claimed both
time and labor are economized-that is,
briefly, instead of first tanning the skins,
as commonly practiced, this new system
consists in placing them in the color bath,
and after remaining there some "a hours
they are treated In the ordinary way with
alum and salt. The preference claimed for
this plan over that which is at present in
vogue is that it saves the washing, treating
with acid and the various methods resorted
to for restoring to the skin the suppleness
II loses by the washing.

Telegraph Wires and Drought.

Professor Virgins believes that telegraph
wires cause drought. that the atmosphere
cannot absorb moisture unless it is charged
with electricity and that upon an oblate
spheroid like the earth the electricity will
inevitably collect at the equator. In this
way, according to The Industrial World, he
explains the frequency Of rains at the
equator. IF, however," he says, there be
elevated spots on the sphere, electricity will
collect on them. Should these spots or con-
tinents be connected by wires It might ac-
cumulate on each alternately. This has hap
pened this year, and America has all of the
electric energy and Europe has lost it, 80
that our continent is flooded and Europe is
burned up with drought" His conclusion
from all this is that electric wires should
be buried
