Tor generous and gracious hospitality,
She does not care for violent exercises
or games, her only active recreation be-
ing the care of her flowers. She arises
before . O'Clock every morning in the
summer and spends hours in her gar
den, which is the home of hundreds Of
birds. The latter have been attracted
by the many quiet, cozy bowers to be
found there and realize they have a

cordial terms with the birds. While
she works among the flowers she talks
to her feathered friends, and they sau-
city twitter back at her.

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

a felon, or whitlow, IS an infamma-
ton of the hand or finger, usually Of
the last joint of the finger. Its impor-
lance 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 whitlow, where the in
fiammation is confined to the skin, may
pc 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 fibrous 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 varety-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 Il throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this inflamed 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 discharging sore will remain
which will later necesSitate Il 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.
A clay poultice often affords great re-
lief. This may be made by making a
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 infiamed
finger and give exit TO the confined
matter and relieve the tension of the
parts.-Youth's Companion.

Odd Plight of a Deer.

"Strange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes a Scotch hunt
er. "A hind in Caithness came to some
crofters hut near the forest and was
poliing about to see If there was any
thing she could pick up when she found
an old tin pail lying in some out of the
way corner. In went her nose and
down came the handle behind her ears.
Then somehow the whole pail slipped
down her neck, and there she was,
caught. She was seen several times
with her strange necklace, which pre-
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly. The clatter when she got
under way was tremendous, and the
other deer were frightened for miles.
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made on her life, but l never heard the
sequel. Anyhow, she must have died
soon from nervous prostration, coupled
with the shock, or from some ladylike
disease of that sort"
