TO EXTRACT A SPLINTER.

When splinter has been driven
deep into the hand, it can be ex-
tracted without pain by steam.
Nearly fill wide mouthed bottle
with hot water, place the injured
part over the mouth of the bottle,
and press tightly. The suction will
draw the flesh down, and in a min
ute or two the steam will extricate
the splinter and the inflammation
will disappear. -Woman's Home

courses Upon Secret Societies
Before Dunkards.

DES MONIES, Ia. June s-Speaking on
the subject Of secret societies at the Dun
kards conference service yesterday after
noon. President Charles A. Blanchard Of
Wheaton college said;
The very secret society obligation is an
incipient divorce. The man who swears to
conceal hts acts and words from his wife,
is not a loyal husband. The wife Is en-
titled to the unlimited confidence of her
husband, and the husband is entitled to the
confidence OF his wife.
These obligations are reciprocal and
equal. No honorable man asks more In this
direction from his wife than he gives 10
her.
What must be the effect on a million
OF families, II a million husbands join one,
two or three or more secret societies, and
in each society swears concealment from
wives and children3 No thoughtful person,
who gets that question squarely before his
mind will have doubt as to the answer.
