Drawing q Splinter.

Removing a splinter from suffering hand may not be a nice and pleasant subject, but home surgery may some times give some one feeling of heart felt joy. The sufferer who illustrates the matter on this occasion was a car penter. He was working at his trade at an institution over which the sisters of the Roman Catholic church presided. One day he broke off an ugly splinter in his hand and could not get it out. He went home at the close of his days g work feeling no annoyance from the wound, but by the next morning the hand was in a serious condition and so painful that working was as impossibil- ity. On his way to the doctors the car penter stopped to tell the sisters why he must delay his work.
 "Let me see what can do with your hand before you go to the doctor," said one of the sisters. The man demurred. "Yes," said the sister, with gentle in sistence, cit will do no harm anyway. !" She quickly filled within an inch or so of the top rather wide mouthed bottle with steaming hot water, and as she held it another sister pressed the in Banned part of the injured hand gently down over the opening. Such a peculiar sensation! It seemed to the man that his whole hand was being drawn with great force into the bottle. He would have taken it away, but the sister was holding it gently, but firmly. Then there was feeling of relief. It seemed as if the inside of that hand had become liquid and was pouring its unpleasant contents into the bottle. That was al- most exactly what was happening, and with the liquid went the offending splin- ter. The hand was bathed and bandaged, and the carpenter continued his work without further inconvenience.-New York Times.
