FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful Sores.


y felon, or whitlow, IS an inhamma-
ton OF the hand or finger, usually of
the last joint of the finger. Its impor-
tance varies with the seat of it-that is
to say, with the portion of the finger
Involved. 1t may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the fibrous
covering of the bone-the periosteum.
a superficial whtlow, where the in
iammation is confined to the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise it
IS not very serious matter. But this
cannot be said of the other two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms
in the tibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon, and unless the inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into the palm of the hand and result in
a permanent Gripping of the member
The third variety-called by ply
sicians the subperiosteal-is that in
which matter forms beneath the men,
brane which covers the bone. As this
membrane is tough and inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
OF matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this infamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical, although the cut
hurts. This is the only treatment for
this form of felon, and the incision
should be made early, for if it is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and discharSing sore will remain
which will later necesSitate a surgical
operation even if it does not result in
the loss of the last joint of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment
n clay poultice often affords great re-
lief. This may be made by making Il
paste Of clay previously sterilized by
baking in a very hot oven and adding
glycerin to prevent too rapid drying. or
the clay may be obtained ready prepar-
ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger from injury. keeps it cool and, if
applied early enough. may prevent the
formation of matter. When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety of the felon, the safest plan
of treatment is to cut into the inflamed
finger and give exit to the confined
matter and relieve the tension of the
parts.-Youth's Companion.

Taking all the ordinary foodstuffs,
the one which would best fulfill the re-
quirements Of life and strength would
be substantial slices of whole meal
wheaton bread, eaten with crust and
spread with good butter. Practically
all the constituents necessary for the
support of life and the building up of
tissue are contained in this food. 1t
has the further advantage of being ex-
tremely satisfying If fresh milk or
buttermilk We're drunk with it an al
most complete diet would be obtained,

A modern city's experiences with un-
dermined streets are not unique. More
than three centuries ago Bristol, Eng
land, had to face a situation somewhat
similar On his visit there Pepys no
ticed that the only carts allowed In the
streets were those that could be drawn
by dogs, for Bristol had dug cellars be-
meath her streets and stored her wealth

His Father Was Lighthouse Builder
His Mother a Lover of Literature.

rom 81. Nicholas.
Mr.. Stevenson Louis father, was light
house builder and belonged to e. family or
famous lighthouse builders. His father,
Louis grandfather built the Bell Rock
lighthouse. OFF the eastern coast OF Scot
land. How hard this was to build you
can imagine when you remember that It
stood on n dangerous reef which the sea
uncovered only for few hours at low
tide, so that the men had to have A special
little workshop built on supports which
were fixed in the rock Then, too, as they
worked on the iron foundation of the light
house up would roll the sea and put out
their fire. Yet Stevenson's grandfather had
the determination and skill to push the
work forward. ell felt the grave need of
a lighthouse there, for this was the danger

OFF the opposite coast of Scotland, on the
Island of Tyree. stands another famous
lighthouse which the Stevensons built.
Eleven years before Louis was born. his
Uncle Allan had begun work on the light
house OF skerryvore. For its foundation
his men had to blast hole forty feet
square in the solid rock. Twice storm and
sea combined defeated Mr.. Stevensons
plans and swept away the work of his
faithful builders. At last however in IS44
the labor was completed. and the wheeling
CLEAN of Skerryvore light shines on the
ocean TO this day.
We want to know all this. not only be-
cause II Is Interesting, but because IL helps
us to understand Robert Louis life. He
loved the sea and felt at home on it, and
perhaps he would have learned to build
lighthouses if he had not wanted so much
more to build stories. His love OF writing
must have come from his mothers side OF
the family. Although Mrs. Stevenson did
not write herself, she very fond or
other peoples writing. especially of poetry,
and she taught her son to love Ii, too. Be
sides this, her father, Louis other grand
father. was a minister, that he wrote
sermons although he did not write books.
From his mothers side of the family Ste
vcnson inherited one more thing. and that
was a fraH body and weak lungs; so that
from his very babyhood he was delicate,
and when he grew older he was ordered
to travel and to spend much of his Time
out of doors in order to live at all.

To Die at Home.
IN the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A resident of this city went some time
ago to San Antonio. Tex, in the hope
that the change OF climate might restore
his health. A few days ago he realized
that the effort had failed and that death
was very near. His wife and daughter
were with him, but he wished to be at
home So the three set out for Chicago
with all possible speed. But before home
was reached-on the train near Lincoln,
~ end came. This incident OF the
day calls attention to a trait OF human
nature so common that II may be doubted
whether any exceptions to It really exist
the desire of man when he feels the end
of this life drawing near to be at home.
Men have travelled half around the world,
praying for life and racing with death,
merely that they might die In the old home
house or town, even though they knew that
there were no longer familiar faces To well
come them or hands of kindred to soothe
their last hours. Soldiers wounded In bat
tie, and knowing they must die, have cheer
fully endured days Of torture, when they
might have enjoyed comparative ease, SIM
ply TO reach home. Ano even when those
nearest and dearest are at hand. as in the
case IN point. men still will strive and
endure that the end may come to them
where they have lived and loved and
worked and made their homes. The feel
ing is not merely a negative dislike of end
ing life In unfamiliar scenes and among
stranger peoples III is posltlNe aesire
to end II in the place most fantiia; ito die
In the home where life was most truly
lived.
Perhaps the escaping soul realizes that 1t
is about TO go into very far country and
unknown, and 50 instinctiyely seeks in de-
parting the support of familiar scenes as a
Sustaining memory when 1T must stand
before it's Judge-all alone, In this field
ali is conjecture, and. aside from conjec-
ture. finite minds cannot explain this turn
ing homeward when hfe's end draws near.
Vet we all know that the feeling exists
and whatever our differences OF sensations,
experiences and ideas we are all alike in
this We wish TO die at home
