If You Burn Yourself
The pain from slight burns is very
great. An excellent application is a
thick paste of common baking soda
moistened with water, spread on a
piece of linen or cotton, and bound
on the part, writes Elizabeth Robin-
gon Scovil, in an article on “What to
Do in Emergencies,” in the Ladies’
Home Journal. ‘This can be kept
wet by squeezing water on it from a
sponge or cloth until the smarting is
soothed.
A thick coating of starch can be
used instead of the soda, or wheat
flour if nothing better can be had,
skin is broken. In this case it is
better to use vaseline, olive or linseed
oil. The doctor will apply some prep.
aration containing carbolic acid. |
1f the air can be effectually ex-
cluded from a burn the pain is re
lieved.
Blisters should be pricked and the
fluid absorbed with a soft cloth Dbe-

applied to the extremities and
the heart, and hot drinks given until
the doctor comes.
In burns from strong acld the part
should be covered with dry baking
soda or lime, as the alkali will neu-
tralize the acid. No water should be
used, but cosmoline or oll applied
after the alkali has been brushed ofl,
When the burn has been caused bj
an alkali an acid must be used. A
person recovering from the effects of
a burn requires very nourishing food.

there were also other utensils of cookery.—
the kettles, the pos the pans, with which
they prepared their dally food, and when
these poor slaves, tired of the day's work, lay
down to rest they lay down among the im-
plements of cookery and the implements of
hard work. When they arose in the morn-
ing, they found their garments cover d with
the clay, and the smoke, and the dust, and
besmirched and begrimed with the utensils
of cookery.
But after a while the Lord broke up that
land where they had better garb, bright and
elean and beautiful apparel, No more bricks

tusks in question is something phe-

about six inches, where the tusks pro-

Art of Perspiration.
The health code of the
Italiap may be summed up in two
maxims “Seek perspiration when
fl," and “Avoid perspiration when
well” No matter whether the all-
ment be grave slight, prompt
measures are taken 1o induce profuse
perspiration, the usual recourse being
to hot teas made from various heal-
ing herbs, says Kate Field's Wash-
ington. In ordinary health an 1talian
takes every precaution against getting
into a perspiration.
Perhaps this feeling, more than the
lethargy resulting from a warm cli-
mate, may be held responsible for the
lack of active outdoor spurts in Italy.
Roller skatinzand bicycling are grow-
ing in favor, shootdng galleries and
quiet boating have always been popu-
lar, but cricket, base-ball, tennis, and
similar games are hardly known even
in their mildest form.
Although resisting their long, hot
summers without detrimen to
