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 well known bump or lump is quick
~ formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line Of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the shin In exactly the
same way, for the shin bone also Is
covered only by skin and simultaneous
connective tissue.

pie thing to do If one only knows how.

quarters and remove the cores and
seeds. As fast as you can peel and

the saucepan over a slow fire, cover it
till the water reaches the boiling point,
then remove the cover and let the APP
Piles simmer almost imperceptibly till
you can pierce them easily with

over them and let them just simmer
until it is all melted Remove the

where the apples will get cold before
turning them into a dish for the table.
