The sudden great rise in temperature of
the portion of the skin that Is
exposed to steam or flame or
highly heated surface Injuries the ex-
posed ends of the sensory nerves, hence
the exquisite pain. The main thing to do
is TO at once protect the surface from the
air, the skin being now representative To
every breath. A homely but not-to-be-
laughed-at remedy in slight burn is to
dredge the part with -four. Do not heap
and pack the -four on. but sift it on lightly
till the surface is well covered. Flour Is
always at hand. so should be remembered
at any rate an immediate relief. Better
still, spread piece of linen very soft and
old) with vaseline enough to completely
cover the surface burned, and .ay over ii
another covering of gutta-percha.
One of the best applications for burn
is Carron oil, so called for having been first
used to dress burns at the Carron furnaces.
IL is made of equal parts of linseed oil and
lime water. So beneficent a remedy should
be kept in the house, and Ii can be made at
home very cheaply If the oil and piece of
quicklime can be had. Stake the lime by
will be precipitated; drain off the water and
put the powder into some cooled boiled
water and shake: when the water has taken
in solution all OF the lime that it will hold,
the lime water is ready for use.
To dress a burn with Carron oil. wet
piece of linen In IL, and lay on the wound,
cover with gutta-percha tissue; as soon as
the linen dries, wet again, and continue
10 keep the burn wet till the fire Is out
of the wound. Protect the skin of burn
till it loses all sensitiveness, as if once
abraded 1t heals very slowly.
When Betty falls and bumps some DOR
tion of her rolly-poly body, the doctor, If a;
hand, would order cold application, and
as a moist one Is better than dry cold
pound piece of ice and fold it in a towel.
II there is no ice at hand, wiring cloths from
cod water, fold in several layers and ap-
ply to the bruise often the cloths
become warm; continue the cool application
for three or four hours in case of a bad
bruise. Follow this treatment with hot APP
plications, and here again moisture is de-
srabe; so, instead of the hot-water bag
wiring cloths from hot water and lay on
often they cool. II is difficult to keep
a child still and under treatment after the
first pain passes off; but if after the nap
which usually follows cessation from pain
and during which the ice can be applied

at least be bathed several times with
very warm water, and this will reduce the
discoloration. Gentle massage viii help re-
store the circulation impedsd by the blow
and prevent black eye or ''black-and-
blue spot" but the pressure of the ice or
cold and hot cloths is often all the handling
a bruised surface can bear. The cd wives

Gossip Is the most interesting thing that
civilization has yet invented in the way OF
conversation. The Dew tell' OF the New
England housewife is the open sesame 10
far more enthralling region than any more
learned discoverer has as yet mapped out II
Is needless 10 say that men relish gossip just
that they do If men had nothing more TO
do than most women, there is no doubt they
would spend just as much time In gossip.
After ALL however, the love OF gossip is but
natural. 1t springs from an innate. ineradi-
cable instinct-interest in our felloS-man.
Scientists show US that, next to egotism,
the most deeply-rooted feeling in humanity
is-alrruism. And in a larger sense, what Is
gossip but popularized altruism.

PracticaIssuggestions.

Burning coffee that has been ground fine
Is thorough disnfectant and will purify
the air Of the kitchen after cooking acct
dent has resulted in an unpleasant odor
Refrigeratcrs should undergo a thorough
overhauling at this season, and all leaks
and breaks should be repaired. Through the
summer they should be washed weekly and
great care should be taken that perishable
food does not remain in them too long.
DO rot make the mistake of attempting
too high polish cut glass. Constant
polishing reduces the exquisite finish Of this
most brilliant of table decorations. Wash
the glass quickly. rinse properly and let 1t
dry alone If a towel is used IL should be
OF softest linen.
To mend neatly a very large hole in fine
underwear haste piece of netting over the
opening and darn over 1T. When finished
mended, the garment viii be stronger than
when new and look far neater than IL darned
In the ordinary way.
Few cooks understand the knack of beat
is the best beaten. Have the eggs cold. and
always add pinch of salt to them before
commencing TO beat They should be light
them. SO at each stroke with the beaten lift
1t from the eggs and the work will be quick
ly accomplished
Mildew is removed by first brushing off
any loose mildew. Then a little common salt
should be rubbed in, afterward literally
sprinkled with powdered chalk and thor
oughly moistened with clean, cold water.
After this the articles should be slowly dried
In the open air and then rinsed, and If the
marks are not removed the treatment should
be repeated possibly several times, but in
the end the mildew will be removed.
Rolling an umbrella Is an art that few
understand. The right way Is TO take hold
of the ends of the ribs and the stick with
the same hand and hold them tightly to-
sether to prevent their twisting while the
Covering is bein; rolled around with the
other hand. In this way an umbrella may
be as tightly rolled as when 1t came from
the factory IL Is the twisting of the ribs
out of shape around the stick that spoils
the looks OF the umbrella

AS his letter had failed to accomplish its
object, he resolved upon a personal inter-
view with number six. Upon calling at the
we,l-known house he found that the fair
one who but short time ago made his
heart beat so wildly was at home and would
see him.
She received him coldy. She still wore
the ring. but it was on her right hand.
Politely. but earnestly, he insisted that his
ring be returned and politely, but firmly,
number six refused.

As Robert Graves, society man, looked
at firm, unyielGing number six, he saw that
she was not TO he turned, and that further
argument was useless. Then there came
into the mind of this economical man a So
luton of the whole difficulty, and thus ne
spoke: This ring has from years of asso-
citation become very dear TO me- 1 cannot
