DANGERS OF A SCRATCH.
An Excellent Preventative of Evil Conse-
quences.

quences.
Scarcely a day passes that many per-
sons do not, in some way or other, get
a scratch Il small cut or L bruise that
may break the skin. In most instances
not the slightest attention is paid to
this beyond the temporary annoyance
Of the pain and the possible irritation
when the hands are put into water or
some subsequent blow in the same
spot brings an exclamation on account
Of the hurt. This, while ii common
practice, is by no means Il wise one

especially the air of cities and towns.
and an injury of this sort. be it ever so
slight. might furnish excellent breed
ing ground for some deadly bacteria.
1t is q good plan always to keep bot
tie of prepared carbolic acid and gly-
cerine and frequently touch all bruises
or sore spots with it. This is one of
the most convenient and effective
germicides Imaginable 1t is said by
excellent medical authority that either
this preparation or listerine would
prevent half of the contagious diseases
, that atfiict the country. 1t is believed
that many cases of fever and other Sc
rious ailments can be contracted by a
floating germ coming in contact with
| the abraded skin. Once snugly lodged
in this most congenial dwelling-place,
the germ multiplies with amazing ra-
pidity and soon overruns the entire
| system Therefore, whenever there is
bruise or scratch or an injury of this
sort, germicidal applications should be
at once reSorted to. Some physicians
recommend the use of court-plaster,
but this is rank poison to so many peo-

Trademarks on TOmbstoneS.

1t was for long time the custom in
Scotland to place on mans tombstone
the symbols of his trade. Hundreds of
graves so marked may still be seen in
the older cemeteries of that country.
In the town of Dublane. in the burial
ground of the abbey, of the tombstones
which are from one hundred to two
hundred years old fully one-third are
marked in that manner, the symbols
being in low relief. A sugar cane or
sack of -four may be seen as showing
the grave of the grocer; an AK and a
saw. with hammer and nails, occur on
the grave of carpenter; an awl and a
hammer on that of a shoemaker and
on one tomb the figure of a man with a
knife in one hand while the other held
Il bull by the horns, indicated that a
butcher lay buried beneath.-St. Louis
