Few people have escaped damned
fingers, and as the pain caused when
the finger is jammed in door is ex-
cruciating in the extreme for the first
few minutes it is well to know Of some
means of relief. The finger should be
plunged into water as hot as can pos
sibly be borne. This application Of
hot water causes the nail to expand
and soften, and the blood pouring out
beneath it has more room to flow. Thus
the pain is lessened. The finger should
then be wrapped in a bread and water
poultice. A jammed finger should new
er be neglected, as 1t may lead to NOR
tifcation of the bone If it has been
badly crushed, and amputation of the
finger must follow damned toes are
usually caused through the falling of
heavy weights and should be treated
in the same way as jammed finger.

The worlds Water supply

A German scientist predicts that the
time will come when there will not be
water enough remaining on this globe
to support human life. We are left to
suppose that our shrinking sphere will
form cayerns in its interior into which
the oceans will sink For a similar
reason, as some astronomers believe.

this planet of ours with a rather large
water supply. Nearly three-fourths Of
the earths surface-or IA. 712.S50

The story of an Invention.


The power loom was the invention Of
q farmers boy, who had never seen or
heard of such a thing. He fashioned
one with his penknlfe, and when he got
1t all done he showed 1t with great en-
thusiasm TO his father, who at once
kicked it all to pieces, saying he would
have no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to a blacksmith to
learn a trade, and his master took
lively interest in him. He made a
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it to
his master. The blacksmith saw he
had no common boy as an apprentice,
and that the invention was Il valuable
one He had loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction. and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
a wealthy gentleman, who was the in
ventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge of the as
constituent at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the In
ventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.
