I t will take a "cream fofm when cojd and can he easily nibbed on the ieet. If the, chilhlaihs are only slightly broken, ten grains of men­ thol can be added, tfi every ounce of the mixed fats. It.must, of course, be added while they are warm. -Later, after the skin has healed, the sur­ face may be brushed over with'tinc­ ture, of capsicum, one dram, and glycerin of tannic aoid, enough to make one ounce. Use this daily un­ less the shin is tender, I t is a strong stimulant and astringent. A, badly inflamed chilblain, where the skin is not broken, can be much soothed with a mixture of belladonna and cocaine ointments spread oh a cloth. Camphorated oil will sometimes'slop the development of one altogether if Used in time. Homemade Glue* I f you happen to break a glass of valuable glass Ornament it can be effectually and easily mended in the following way; Melt a little isinglass in spirits of wine, add a small quan­ tity* of water, warm the mixture gently over ft moderate fire. .When mixed by thoroughly melting it will form a perfectly transparent glue, which will Unite glass so nicely and firmly that the joint will scarcely be noticed by the most critical eye.

Let re­ main over boiling.watcr until melt­ ed, then take from the fire and beat ten minutes. Drop in gradually one dram of oil of rose geranium and two drams of benzoin tincture, and beat until perfectly cold.

"The police have what they cstt the.

I say this by way of prelude-to a little story of ft long lime- ago which will show that there are more ways than one of forcing a man to 'own up ' to Wrongdoing, As you. probably know, -the ax was a t one time the most val­ uable implement around the place, I t was in the tinie I have in mind, the time when southeastern Arkan­ sas was a wilderness and when the earlier settlers first began to cast their lot in that rich and now pros­ perous part of the world. The ax meant much in those days* 'So when pome fellow pilfered gome other fel­ low’s ax the question was of JaTge moment for miles around. “A man thus,circumstanced and of the time complained that" his ax had been stolen. There happened to be a preacher in the section who was looked upon as .having extraor­ dinary, almost supernatural powers, and whenever, anything of this kind, happened complaint was made to him, , The theft of the ax'was re­ ported to the preacher. T i l find it. for. you/ he said to .the dist* ^ssed man of the woods/ , ... -“On a certain day when he had nearly .every man within a radius of fifty miles around him he lined" them up in a, row and stepped hack about thirty feet, just far enough to al­ lowWin a good eye sweep of the line. In a few words he related the case of the man who had lost the ax, dwelt on the importance of the ax,, declaring it not only to be the in­ dustrial capital of the man who lost it, but the chief weapon with which he defended his home. ‘Now, my friends', one of vou men got that aX,. and I know i t / he said., 'I have a rock in my hand/ he continued, 'and while I, do not care to hurt any liv­ ing human being, I am going to b it the'man who got th a t ax/ And as he said, this he swung a long bony arm over his' head with violence and brought it around with forced Only one man dodged in the line' of forty," and he was the guilty man. In a short while the ax ivaa returned to its rightful owner, and the back­ woods preacher, was ..more popular than ever.

In 1889 some distance southeast of Lake Nyassa> in. central Africa, Livingstone discovered Lake Sliir- wa, «/ body of water aboat thirty miles long and fifteen miles wide, which has now entirely disappeared with’ the exception of a few ponds. Lake Nyami, discovered by Living­ stone at the Sam# time, has also dis­ appeared. The cause of -the change appears to be a gradual,, drying up of bodies of WAter in central Africa. As marking the results of a single half century the changes named show a rapidity of mutation in those inland waters not equaled elsewhere in the contemporary geographer’s survey, though the shrinking of ftalt lake in Utah is aim very remarka­ ble. 14 \ |U a . . , RANGE KNOWN Is the Round Oak Chief; Xhe Fame of, t h e R o u n d O a k s t o v e s has b e e n k n o w n f o r y e a r s through the severest tests.
