ABOUT CHILBLAINS.
THE MOST BOTHERSOME ALL
MENT OF MANKIND.
Generally Begin Operations with the
Coming of Cold weather-How to
Treat-An English Innovatlon-some
times Extremely Painful.

A chilblain is painful swelling and
redness of the skin. usually of the feet,
but sometimes of the hands, ears, or
other parts, occurring in cold and damp
weather, One who has ever suffered
from chilblains, however needs no def
milton of the malady, for his memory
will never leave him. The trouble usu-
ally begins with the first appearance of
frost, and persists obstinately until the
return of mild weather. One who has
once suffered may usually count upon a
fresh infliction with each recurring au-
tumn. After he has been standing and
walking for some time with cold or wet
feet, redness of the skis appears as
the feet get warm again. and this red
ness is accompanied by an intolerable
mixture of itching and burning. This
state Of things persists with varying in
tensity, but is always worse when the
feet are warmed, and so causes especial
annoyance at night, when the sufferer
begins to get warm in bed. The itch
ing is such an unbearable symptom
that in England, the native home of the
chilblain, extraordinary remedies are
resorted to for its relief, some old-fash-
Toned people going so far as to whip
the afflicted part with sprigs of holly
until blood is drawn, in order to-relieve
the congestion. People with a rheu-
matte tendency seem to suffer most
FROM chilblains, and it is found some
times that unexpected relief of the local
trouble is obtained by anti-rheumatic
remedies. A person subject to chill
blains should carefully avoid shoes
which are too short or too tight He
should wear soft wooden stockings and
well fitting, thich soled shoes. Some
can wear overshoes or "Arctics," but
most sufferers find that rubber shoes
or boots increase their distress. On
returning from exposure to cold or wet.
the shoes and stocking should be
changed, the feet bathed in cool water,
and "patted" dry with a soft towel.
Warming cold feet over register. in
front of the fire, or, after the manner
OF farmers, in the oven, is the worst
possible practice, and will almost sure
ly cause chilblains in those who have
never had them. When the pain and
itching become unbearahJe, a measure
of relief may be gained BY putting the
feet into basin of very hot or very
cold water for moment, and then an
ointing them with a salve containing
borax. Sometimes slight continuous
pressure, such as is made by painting
the chilblains with collodon, is bene-
fetal. Some cases are benefited by
painting with tincture of iodine, but
this remedy is uncertain, and may even
aggravate the distress.

SOCIAL STRIFE ON EAST SIDE.
Heartburnings Over the Dewdrop Pleas

ONtT Ine DewurOD Pleas
ure Clubs Ball
Trouble, arising from social Jealous
les, is brewing in the Dewdrop Pleas
ure club. There are dissenting fac
tions, which, unless they succeed in
reconciling their Misunderstanding
threaten to disrupt the organization,
says the New York Tribune. So much
information was gathered last week
by woman shopper at the ribbon
counter in one of the large dry-goods
stores. Nov, Mamie" the salesgirl
with the purple stock was saying to
her neighbor with the Roman-striped
necktie, after the way I've been treat
ed you can bet l don't go to that ball.
You know, George and me was to lead
the grand march; that was settled long
ago. Well, here last week the other
party (the last two words spoken with
bitter emphasis) decided to give that
place to another couple. That was
enough and too much for me-" Mamie
murmured something about its being
better to go ,and have a good time
anyway, even If you could not lead
the march, but she was promptly re-
proved; Mamie Perkins, don't have
to be turned down more than once to
take a hint. My principles wouldn't
allow me to go now. No, ma am; the
Dewdrop Pleasure club will have its
ball this time without me. If I went
folks would say it was the only affair
l had to go to this season. Yes, ma'am;
that ribbon is 20 cents yard, best
quality marked down from 49," she
continued rapidly in the same tone to
the woman customer, who had by this
time come to feel more interest in the
ball than the contemplated purchase.

Be careful in selecting your twine.I
Before trusting perhaps days work to
fragile string, take, at least, the precau-
ton of going over it carefully and cut
ting out all weak spots. The proper
way TO handle the kite cord is to gather
it on stick. Boys who do not know
how to do this are worthy of profound
pity. 1 have met only one or two such.
The Bow and Arrow.-Among boys
discussions often arise regarding the
relative strength of different kites and
winds. } have, therefore, thought it
worth while to tell of Il little device for
testing kites. See Fig. 4. A glance at
this should explain it. The string lead
ing from the kite is attached at A. B
is fastened to some stationary object.
The tug of the kite bends the bow and
draws the arrow over the stand. The
arrow is marked by pounds, half
pounds, etc., and the power of the kite
or wind may thus be registered. Make
this bow of some springy wood, such as
hickory, ash or bamboo. A piece of bar
rel stave does very well.
The bow should be perhaps an inch
across in the center, and from this point
taper gradually toward the ends. For
testers may be made of whalebone. If
,he larger bows are properly made. there
will be few kites which draw the arrow
to the head. On each side of the
bow a piece of wire must be securely
bound, in the form of an arch. To one
piece attach the kite string, to the other
the arrow. Fig. shows the stand. 1t is
made of light boards, and may be easily
put together. Have it perfectly smooth
within the notch A, that the arrow may
slip along easily. The arrow Gig. g. is
rectangular in form and marked at in
tervals as shown. The head may be fas-
tened in place with fish glue, and the
loop of wire which connects it with the
bow bound on with Irvine.
The method of marking the arrow:
The Irvine from A, instead of being at.
tached TO a kite, is run through pull
ley. To the end of this different weights
are attached, and the distance which
each draws the arrow along the stand
