The careful disciplinarian turned her
broad. shiny countenance reprovingly
upon her undisturbed offspring, but

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands of connec-
tive tissue. The result of blow when
the scalp is not cut is the bruising and
laceration of many Of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or its
fluid constituent, serum, is poured into
the meshes Of the surrounding con
nective tissue, which is delicate,
spongy, distensible and cellular, and
the we'll known bump or lump is quick
ly formed. This cannot push iRward
at all and naturally takes the line of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the skin in exactly the
same way. for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and subcutaneous
connective tissue.

DROP In PRICES.

Hundreds OF millions OF pounds OF
cold-storage butter, eggs, cheese and
poultry, some of it.as. much as five
years old, are about to be thrown on
the market in the larger cities and sac
rifced at whatever price they will bring
as the result Of the collapse within the
last few days of the food trust, which
by steady aggressions during the past
half decade has piled prices of pro-
visions up to their present exorbltant
figures. The smash, it is predicted,
will be one OF the most spectacular for
a long period Of time. Prices, now
33L per cent higher than they ought
to be, are about to drop in a sudden
slump to their normal levels. Chicago,
as the center of the cold-storage indus
try Of the country, is to be the vortex
of the wholesale unloading. Failures
among commission men and general
financial stringency in the butter, eggs
and poultry trades are effects, it is
stated, that are likely to follow.
