To Remove splinters.

A splinter is little thing, but capa-
BILE of creating a great deal of mischief,
discomfort and pain. Every mother of
small children, says a writer in Harpers
Bazaar, should provide herself with a
pair Of sharp pointed forceps for this
emergency. When the splinter is inn
bedded in the flesh Of hand or foot, the
point of a small pair of scissors--a mani
cure pair will answer well--should be
inserted directly over and following the
path of the splinter and small incision
made. II there be any bleeding, stanch
it by little pressure, then open the
wound by stretching it a little and with
your forceps pick out the offending OBJ
ject. When the splinter is under the
nail, cut little V shaped piece out of
the nail and with the forceps the splin-
ter is easily removed. Protect the cut
made with little collodion OF finger
cot.

In China there is nothing Of the sweet
girlhood which is enjoyed in this coun
try-in fact, one rarely sees girls in Chi
ma, says writer in the London Mail.
They marry so young that they appear to
spring from childhood to maturity with
out any intermediate stage of girlhood.
There is no "blushing 10" or sweet 49,"
no firtations, no balls, no picnics, no
billets doux. The child has not ceased
to play with her doll before she has a
baby to dandle.
The only joy Of woman's life is in
dressing her hair. This is done with an
elaborate, artistic science curious to see.
Their hair is invariably black and very
long. 1t is drawn tightly from the face
and stiffened with gum. 1t is then piled
up in coils and wings and loops that
stand alone without the aid of pads.
roulets, pugs or hairpins.
There are no spinsters in China ex-
cept the nuns who dedicate their virgini-
ty to Buddha. These ladies shave their
heads like priests and thus deprive them
selves of the only Chinese sign Of gender
the hair dressed a la teapot.

"My Mother said.

Chalk on wooden floor or on the side
walk a group of seven circles, each two
feet across, which all but touch each
other. In one circle print "New York, +"
in another Chicago" in a third "St.
Louis" in fourth Boston," etc. Two
feet from the circles on four sides Of
them draw two foot squares, each mark
ed "Home." A player rests one leg in q
home square, and the leader exclaims,
my mother says you must go to-Chi-
cago-and to--Boston-and to-and so
on" So soon as the name of city is
mentioned the player must hop on one
leg to the right circle, hopping back i'm
mediately to home plate, in readiness
for the next leap. The master of for
feits keeps count of the number of cor
rect hops-journeys-made. If a player
hops in the wrong circle or outside of the
home squares, he must pay forfeit and
give way to the next player. That player
is winner who first makes so good
journeys-circles-no counting the home

How Rest TO Emf.

At recent meeting Of medical men
DIR. f. A. Burial spoke Of the amount
of mischief done by the very common
habit of eating the meals rapidly. Thor
ough mastication was Of the utmost i'm
portance, and of course this presupposed
a proper condition of the teeth. Gastric
digestion was often weakened and much
distress was caused by taking in too much
fluid with the food, particularly at the
beginning of meal. Another factor in
causing dyspepsia was the habit Of eat
ing food in silence or without that miPth
and good fellowship SO necessary to in
sure the normal action Of the digestive
organs. These little details might seem
trite and unimportant, but 1t was the
duty of the careful physician to instruct
his patients in regard to them. The long
continued and free use Of digestive agents
served to make the digestive organs lazy
and inactiye.-Medical Record. v-r

An Oyster Rat Catcher.

A rat had taken up his abode at an
oyster shop and while rambling in search
of dainties CHANGED to get his tail be-
tween the open valves of an oyster,
which at once closed upon it like wise.
Then the intruder lost all self command
and bolted. He made straight for his
hole, only to find that, although he could
enter it. the oyster was too big to be pulled
after him, and there he had to stay, head
downward, tugging frantically, but in
vain. The owner of the shop, on arriving
next. day, pulled the rat out of the hole,
though not without severe tug, and
threw it to the dog. The rat showed
fight. but after brief struggle all was
over. The oyster held on all the time
