How Blisters Are Raised.

A blister is the vesicle, or bladder,
which is formed by. an effusion Of
serum-the watery portion of the blood
Underneath the scarf. or outer skin.
Any such powerful irritant as boiling
water may produce blisters, and we
may regard their formation as an eff
fort of nature to protect the true and
acutely sensitive inner skin from at
tack
The fact speaks for itself, but the
season for this injurious action of
scalding water has a much deeper seat.
Our blood vessels are supplied with
nerves, and the stimulation Of these
causes in some cases dilatation and In
others contraction. Any excessive slim
illus will cause paralysis of the muscu-
lar coat Of the vessels and consequent
stagnation Of the blood in these parts.
and then their nutrition is impaired.
1t is owing to the condition thus in
duced by scalding water that the Sc
rum oozes through the vessel wall and
makes its way into the surrounding
tissue. This raises the upper and in
sensible skin into blister, which prob
ably takes it's name from the Anglo
Saxon bl9stan, to blast or puff.

EPw0RTH CONVENTION.
W. H. Wallace is Elected President OF the
PipeStOne District.

P1peSt0ne District.
The annual Epworth League con-
vention of the Pipestone district
was held in the Methodist church at
Marshall June 18th. 18th and 18th
and was attended by between so
and 100 delegates from the different
chapters of the district. Rev. J.
NJ. Bull, presiding elder, and DR..
W. F. Oldham, who is we'll known
throughout the missionary world
and on the platform, were present.
The convention opened Friday
afternoon by devotionals and an ad-
dress by the president. A very
good paper, why | am here" was
read by Miss Nina Harrington of
Luverne.
In the evening an address of well
come was given by Delano Galley of
Marshall and was responded to by
Mrs. G. W. Hickman of Tracy. Mrs.
Lutz of this city gave an address,
"a Balm for the Shy" which was
listened to with pleasure.
Saturday morning occurred the
election of officers. W. H. Wallace,
the president, was unanimously
elected for the ensuing year. The
other officers were all new. Miss
| Gretchen Hitchcock was asked to
retain her position as secretary,
but as she will not be in the district
next year she was unable to accept.
Mr.. Wallace and Mrs. Handy OF
| Wellington were elected as dele
gates from the district to the nation
al Epworth League convention to be
held at Detroit July 10Th and 10Th.
The prominent feature of the Sat
urday afternoon program was a
symposium conducted by Mr.. Don
aldsOn of Tracy on the subject OF
the Epworthian and what he should
do. Saturday evening DR.. Oldham
was heard and all were deeply in
terested in his instructive and elo-
quent address. Sunday morning
DR.. Oldham again preached, Rev.
EIlery of Slayton being on the pro
gram, but he persuaded DR.. Oldham
to preach in his stead. His sermon
was on the subject of missions and,
as he spoke from experience, having
done active service in the Malay
peninsula, it was highly entertain
ing. In the afternoon there was a
model junior league and in the even
ing Mr.. Hickman of Tracy led a
most helpful Epworth League. The
convention was closed by Rev. J.
NJ. Bull, after an address by DR..
Oldham.
The successful and pleasing man
ner in which the convention was
carried on was due in quite de-
gree to the Marshall Epworth
Leaguers, and especially to Robert
Eitel and Rev. B. c. ellis. They
were also aided by Rev VALENTINE
of the Congregational church and
| his followers.
Next year the convention will be
held at Worthington, an invitation
having been received from thai
place previous to the convention.

At our state university, through the
Kindness of Professor Hunt, we first
became acquainted with the use Of
muck as an absorbent, says an Ohio
correspondent of Stockman and
Farmer. 1t was dried and good coat
of it put on the open space back OF
the cutters, from which enough was
supplied to take up all liquids. This
adds greatly to the bulk of manure
and does not detract from it's richness,
as the nitrogen is held with so much
less waste

ably result in a comprehensive EXPOSE
ton Of the dairy interests of the whole
country at st. Louis. says Creamery
Journal.
The idea Of the worlds fair board of
directors is to show the progress and
development that have been made in all
Industries rather than to encourage ex-
hibits Of manufactured goods. To show
how things are made and the best and
latest methods of manufacture is the
idea, and Sudendorf is probably as
well equipped as any one to carry out
this plan in his department. His wide
experience as a salesman, traveller, ad-
vertiser. merchant, manufacturer and
as director of the business matters of

Variations In Milk.
It Is difficult to educate da1rymen
into tho fact that both milk and cream
vary widely in fat content, and that for
no reasons that can be given as salts
factory, says Hoard's Dairyman. No
cow can be kept in such regular condi-
tons as to food, drink and surround
! lngs that the composition Of the milk
will not change from day to day and
from hour to hour. The action of the
nervous system of the COW Is beyond
measurement by any instrument pos
sessed by the experiment station, and
| until such an instrument is invented
the reason why a COW gives As per cent
milk Monday and 3.5 per cent milk
Tuesday will be beyond explanation.
The men who buy sugar beets trust
nothing to the theory of averages; they
sample and analyze every load of
beets: the man who mines gold also
samples and analyses. but the man
who produces milk trusts to averages
and only kicks when he finds his re-
turns sometimes below the point that
he considers proper.
Separating Milk.
Mr.. ]. w. Newman. in a talk to Cana
dian dairymen. said: milk fresh and
warm as it comes from the COW is in
the best condition for separation. 9th
erwise aerate and cool to 60 degrees.
| When ready to separate heat the milk
again above 90 degrees by some con-
tinuous heater that will hold sufficient
milk to keep the separator going at
least five minutes. Butter fat is not a
good conductor of heat. not equal to
skinned milk. therefore sufficient time
for expansion Of the fat should be al
lowed before milk is fed into separator.
Heating milk reduces it's viscosity, in
creases the capacity and insures more
exhaustive separation. Avoid vibra-
ton. low speed. overlooking separator,
low temperature or making very heavy
cream by adjustment"
Stable For Cows.
A stable nine feet high, with cows
standing with their heads to the wall
and thirty-tWO feet wide. with one sin
gle driveway wide enough to drive in
wagon to gather the manure. is the
ideal COW barn. There should be box
stalls for parturition periods and ailing
cows.-H. E Cook.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applica lions as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the mu-

this tube is inflamed you have a rumbllne

entirely closed deafness is the result and

MODERN ELOQUENCE is the masterpiece

In these volumes the reader runs the whole
gamut of eloquence, from laughter to tears, from
pathos to ridicule; keen satire is mingled with
unctuous humor; the strong, trenchant utterance

The following is copy of the Off
cial telegram sent by General Gomez,
commander-n-chief of the Venezuelan
forces which captured Ciudad Bolivar
to President Castro, reporting the re-
cent events:
"On Sunday. July 49, the enemy
opened fire on our lines. After fifty
hours deadly struggle we reoccupied
the city.

more than 800 men killed or wound

Rome, July 25.-The nearer the con
clave approaches the more two distinct
tendencies are known in the sacred
college. especially among the cardinals
of the Curia, that is to say. those liv-
ing in Rome. but in which the cardinals
from the provinces. as well as the for
eign cardinals, cannot help partlclpat-
ing. These two tendencies spring from
the personality of Cardinal Rampolla
as the great struggle continues to be
in his favor or against him. If Ram
polla finds that in the first ballot he
has a considerable number of votes
he will try again. If he has few votes
and one of his opponents has many ne
will renounce his chance and he and
all his friends will support first Car
dinal Gotti, with whom he has now
come to some such agreement, and at
tempt to raise Gotti to the supreme
office, with Rampolla as an ally. This
would mean the maintenance of Pope
Leo's policy on exactly the same lines
and entrusted to the same men. But
Gotti inspires great distrust. because
as he belongs to the religious orders
he would render the situation Of the
papacy extremely difficult at the pres
ent moment. considering the conditions
prevailing in France, Spain and the
Philippines. 1t seems, therefore, al.
most sure that if at the first ballot it
is not probable that Gotti can be sue
cessful this section of the sacred col
lege will decide on Cardinal di Pietro,
one of Rampolla's most faithful follow
erS.
The anti-Rampolla tendency has
more prominent candidates. such as
Cardinals Oreglia, Serafino Vannu
telli, Satolli and Aglariadi, which will
cause difficulty in arriving at an agree
ment OF any one of them. 1t is al
ready foreshadowed that should the
