A surgeon in the English army has
found that the best way to treat blisters
on the feet is to insert the point of a
needle or other puncturing instrument
in the sound skin about one-eighth of an
inch beyond the edge of the blister.
Then pass the needle horizontally into
the blister, and if raised the liquid will
run out beneath. When the raised outer
skin only is pricked, it is apt to be sore
and troublesome. After the liquid has
disappeared flatten the blister and cover
it with absorbent cotton or something
equally soft. Persons who have to be
on their feet much of the time or those
obliged to walk great deal viii find it
a relief to change the shoes every other
day and the stockings each morning.

from the quick run at the top OF the
pool Of Dalbreck, down 10 the almost
dead still water st the bottom Of that
fine stretch, and had found 10 luck.
Jamie Shanks, who was with Mr..
Russell as his fisherman, had gone over
it to no purpose with fresh fly. They
were grumpishly discussing whether
they should give Dalhreck another turn,
or go ON to Pool o. Brock, the next pool
down stream, when Charles Grant made
his appearance and asked the waterside
question, what luck:" mo luck at
all, Charlier" was Russel's answer.

Car-fenders seem to have been generally
unpopular with street railroad companies,
bu- the public can hardly do otherwise
than rejoice over the fact that rendered
cars are, in all reputable communities, the
rule and not the exception. Yesterday a
Jersey City boy was struck by a rapidly
moving trolley-car. In the good old days
there would have been job for an under
taker. but In this instance the fender threw
the boy from the track without doing him
any more damage than the mere skinning
of one ankle. Just how much it cost to
equip the Jersey City cars with tenders
is not in evidence, but the probabilities
are that the one life which was saved by a
fender yesterday is worth more-viewed
from a cold-blooded, financial standpoint

trict of Columbia. Without entering into
the controversy over the extension Of any
particular street or avenue the general
public will doubtless be best pleased with
the fewest possible serious divergences
from L'Enfaits plan. The claim that it
would be cheaper to defect in many in
stances than to follow a straight line is
not entitled to controlling weight. for
economy Is only a relative term after all.
and it should be remembered that the high
way extensions now being provided for are
not for today or tomorrow, but for hum
dreds of years. There will be no semblance
of economy in q plan that would need re-
vision within quarter of century.
Gracefully curved boulevards and park
driveways are pleasing features. some di-
vergences from the existing plan are for
typographical reasons unavoidable, but
crooked streets and Irregularities of high
ways can, with difficulty, be justified by
the mere allegation Of present cheapness.
