How RIisters 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
acuteIy sensitive inner skin from at
tack.
The fact speaks for itself, but the
reason for this injurious action of
scalding water has 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.
It is owing to the condition thus in
duced by scalding water that the Sc
rum oozes through the vessel wall and
makes it's way into the surrounding
tissue. This raises the upper and in
sensible skin into a blister, which prob
ably takes it's name from the Anglo
Saxon blGstan, to blast or puff.

The StabIeman's Plan,

Oh one occasion a famous Clergyman
witnessed the tact of a stableman in
coaXing a recalcitrant colt into his stall
and soothing him until completely rec

melancholy:
II wish I could get the Workingmen
of my parish into church as easily as
you get your young horses into their
stalls Thomas
"Well, SIR" said Thomas, II should
think it could be done, providin' you
understands the nature Of 'em an
gives your mind to it."
The cleric smiled. Thomas might
manage horses, but workingmen-that
was a different matter.
"Perhaps you'll think it over and let
me know your method he finally sug-
gested.
Thomas promised and, being appeal
ed to a few days later, was ready with
his method"
"And you think you have hit on
plan to get workingmen to church,
Thomas?''
II think so, sir"
"And how would your

The Annihilation of Distance.

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be today
and really are today than was the case a
few decades ago. When weeks and
months were required for communication
between the United States and Europe
the countries of the old world appeared
to be long wav off. Now the circum-
ference of old earth is belted with tele-
graph and cable lines in every possible
direction. What happens today in Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa, Australia, South
America and the great islands of the sea
is made known to us tomorrow by great
newspapers like The Chicago Record
Herald, whose foreign correspondents
are located in every important city in
the world outside of the United States.
In addition to it's own staff correspon-
dents The Record Herald enjoys the for
eign news service of the New York Her
aid. famous for many years for the
reliability of it's foreign news, and also of
that great cooperative gathering
organization, the Associated Press. No
other daily newspaper in America poses
ses facilities SO varied and extensive for
covering the news of all nations.
