TREATMENT OF FELONS.
Simple Means of Relief for Painful
Afiiction.


Simple Means of Relief for Painful
Ahiiction.
Felons occur frequently on the last
Joint of the fingers or thumb of the
right hand. They are localized acute
intammations, resulting from the pres
ence beneath the skin of certain 2ols-
onous organisms which have gained ad-
mission through n wound. This wound
is very likely n scratch or prick SO
slight and insignificant that one cannot
remerber having receivedi it.
The first thing that attracts ones at
tention is a small reddened and spvollon
spot, which Is painful when touched.
In the beginning the Inflammation Is
Just beneath the skin, but if not inter
fered with, it frequently works its way
deep down below the surface, and bur
rows along the bone or tendons of the
finger.
The superficial felon is the less pain
full. This is located, as a rule, around
and under the fnger-nail. II may ap-
pear on one or more fingers at the same
time or in succession, particularly if the
bodily system is debilitated. The in
fammation may be slight and subside
quickly, but frequently it is more or
less severe and results in the formation
of small abscess.
In the case of enfeebled persons the
inflammation may cause considerable
swelling and intense pain, and result in
the loss of part or the whole of the
finger-nail.
The laa,, faIpr1 1tS1In1lv starts the
under side of the finger. Within day
or two the finger becomes painful,
tense, hot and tbrobbing. The pain
and tension rapidly increase-especlal-
" when the hand hangs at the side
and the suffering continues without
abatement until an abscess has gath
cred and it's contents have discharged
through an opening in the skin.
For a superficial felon nothing is
usually required but rest of the affected
part, and cold application. If an alb
scess has formed, however, hot applica-
tions should be applied and the pus
completely removed. The application
of the tincture of iodine, carbolic acid,
or blister affords little or no relief.
In the deep variety of felon the forma-
tion of an abscess is almost certain, and
therefore hot applications or poultices
should be employed from the begin
ming.
If at the end of two or three days
there is no marked relief the abscess
should be opened. The incision should
be deep enough to insure the complete
evacuation of the contents of the alb
scess. Immediate relief from all suf-
fering follows the emptying of the alb
scess, and the wound quickly heals if
care is taken to keep it absolutely clean.

RUGS FROM SCRAPS.
How to Utilize Some of the Household
Odds and Ends.

Some of the most useful and pic
turesque rugs are made of scraps of diff!
ferent colored woolen dress goods sewn,
in hit or miss fashion on back of bed
ticking or any stout goods. Old bed.
ticking is excellent because the blue
stripes are a guide to sew by. Cut tout a
piece of the ticking of sufficient size to
make a rug. Cut all the pieces of wool
len dress goods into the uniform size
of two inches square. Fold each square
into d double boxpleat. Crease 1t in the
middle, and, as fast us you prepare
them, sew these little pleats on the tick
ing on the blue stripes as closely as they
can be put. Begin sewing on the little
boxpleats of cloth in the middle of the
rug. Turn the rows on one side one
way and on the others the other. The.
raw edges of the pleated squares OF
cloth form the surface of the rug. A
very good effect may be obtained by
making the center of the rug hit-and-
miss pattern and the border black, with
red, yellow, blue stripes or mixture
of all.
Still another method of preparing
rug from scraps is to tie the cloth on
burlap foundation Prepare founda-
ton of the size desired, and cut strips
about the width of ordinary carpet rugs
and the proper length TO tie in firm,
hard knot, leaving short ends Sew
strips as closely togeaher as possible,
and knot them firmly in place as fast
as they are sewn on.-N. Y. Ledger.

THE STRUGGLE FOR FOOD.
1t Isn't Always Simple to Get a steak for
Fifteen Cents.

IL was in a cheap downtown restau-
rant where some of the walters are re-
formed pugilists. The customer was
weak-euough looking little man. He
came in and sat down al the end table.
"Whatcha want?" demanded the waiter.
I'D like to have a top sirloin," said
the customer.
What. n top sirloin steak?" snarled
the waiter.
lis there top sirloin anything else?"
asked the customer. meellly. Did You
think l wanted top sirloin chicken or
a top sirloin duck? When n man asks
for top sirloin he wants a top sirloin
steak, doesn't he?"
Say, you look ct here" said the
waiter. when you come in here you're
supposed t. give yer order right. see?
Ii yer want a steak yer want ter say
yer want a steak, see? Dye t'ink d.
boss hires mind readers fer walters n
sells steaks fer Is cents besides?"
MY friend, it seems to me you're a
little sassy said the meek customer.
Say, didja come here : pass remarks

whatcha want-er git out"
Il want a top sirloin steak, please"
said the neel, man a bit nervously.
They amt no please about it."
snorted the waiter.
He walked away three steps toward
the kitchen. Then he turned and came
back Say, young fellow" he said, ut
ANITA piece o steak that YOU wants,
IFS n niece O. ne, see. IL yer goin' {
git it."
Saying which, he hauled off and
swung his right around with force
enough to have driven the meek man
through the wall. The other customers
jumped up and rushed at the waiter,
but they were not quick enough. The
meek man had let out with his left foot
and kicked him in the shins. That kick
bent him forward. and, as he came,
the meek man swung his right and
caught him in the short ribs. There
was a grunt that was heard a block,
and the waiter fell in his tracks. His
wind was gone and agony was written
in his face. The meek man stood over
him. 1t was q minute before the wait
ar came to, and, rolling over painfully.
rlambered to his feet The meek man
tented with his right. The waiter
lodged
DO l get my top sirloin steak N raw
fried potatoes?" demanded the meek
man.
Sure yer do" said the waiter,
meekly; ''butcha wouldn't if yer hadn't
ordered 'em, see?" and he limped off
toward the Kitchen.
1T beats me-" said the meek man,
how sassy some walters do get"
The other customers went back to
their places and quiet reigned.-N. Y.

At Boston dinner tables the apple is
one of the accepted forms of decoration,
and several small cut-glass dishes of
rosy-cheel1ed health-protiucers are used
to offset the mound of flowers in the
center, and with it form the only spec
tacular adjuncts to the feast. Very
pretty, too, they look, carrying back the
fancy of the satiated diner-out to the
time when an apple, fragrant, juicy,
probably purloined from a forbidden
orchard, formed the summum bpnum of
his Washington Stav.

BURNS DIED PENNlLESS.

First Obituary Notice Calls for Help for
His Family.
When Robert Burns died the follow
ing obituary appeared in the Edin-
burgh Advertiser of July 26, 1876: "On
the 21st inst, died at Dumfries, after
lingering illness, the celebrated Robert
Burns. His poetical compositions, dis
tinguished equally by the force. of ma
tive humor, by the warmth and the
tenderness of passion, and by the glow
ing touches of descriptive pencil, will
remain n lasting monument of the vigor
and versatility of a mind guided only by
the lights of nature and by the inspira-
tion of genius. The public to whose
amusement he has so largely contrib
uted, will learn with regret that his
extraordinary endowments were accom-
panied with fatalities which rendered
them useless to himself and his fam
lily. The last months of his short life
were spent in sickness and indigence,
and his widow, with five infant chill
dren, and in the hourly expectation of a
sixth, is now left without any resource
but what she may hope from the re
guTu cue 10 lilc VI
band.
THE public are respectfully informed
that contributions for the wife and fam
lily of the late Robert Burns (who are
left in circumstancesO - extreme dis
tress) will be received at the houses
of Sir William Forbes & Co., of Messrs.
Mansfield, Ramsey g. Co., and at the
shops of the Edinburgh booksellers. 1t
is proposed to publish some time hence
a posthunrous volume of the poetical
remains of Robert Burns for the bene-
fit of the authors family; his friends
and acquaintances are requested to
transmit such poems and letters as may
happen to be in their possession to Alex
ander Cunningham, Writer, George
street, Edinburgh; or to John Syme,
Esq, Ryeiand, Dumfries. 1t is hoped
that, in the meantime, none of his
original productions will be commune
