ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Symptoms Which Foretell Diseases of
Children.
Many children when complaining
of feeling ill are more or less neg
lected by parents who attribute their
complaints to overfeeding, a slight
cold or something of that sort, and
nothing further is done than to pet
and coddle a child who is really in
need of a physician’s care immedi
ately. Consequently the disease gets
a firm hold, and often a doctor is
called in when too late.
A mother can always tell that a
child has measles when the eyes and
nose are watery, as in an ordinary
cold in the head. A rash appears
on the face and neck in small spots
after three days and then spreads
over the body. In winter measles
are very serious, for should the child
be weak any exposure to cold will
bring about a bronchial trouble or
perhaps pneumonia, and the child
ever after, if it should even recover,
would have weak lungs. Measles
are contagious. The child should
be kept in a darkened room, a doc
tor sent for and his instructions
carefully followed.
Scarlet fever comes, as a rule, sud
denly, with sore throat and high
fever. There is vomiting, and a red
ness covers the chest and upper part
of the body and quickly spreads.
Refurbishing Oilcloth.
Directly oilcloth begins to show
signs of wear and tear and loses its
shining surface melt a little glue in
a pint of water by letting it stand
on the top of the stove until dis
solved. Wash the oilcloth thorough
ly and let it dry and at night just
before going to bed go over the
whole surface with a piece of flan
nel dipped in the glue water. In
the morning there will be a fine
gloss on the oilcloth, and it will look
as good as new.
For Chapped Hands.
A salve to cure chapped hands or
lips can be made of marrow of fresh
beef bones, add a small piece of
white wax about the size of a filbert
nut, melt these together over the
fire and add to this result a piece of
gum camphor about the same size
as the wax and an ounce of glycerin.
Stir this until the camphor is dis
solved and add a few drops of oil
of roses to give a pleasant odor. Ap
ply this to the chapped parts before
going to bed.
Treatment For Cuts.
A bad cut can instantly be re
lieved by applying diluted tincture
of arnica—one part arnica to ten
parts water. Draw the edges of the
cut tightly together and bind up
well with a piece of clean linen or
cotton soaked in this solution.
Sticking plaster should not be ap
plied to a cut until it has at least
stopped bleeding.
Indelible Ink.
Indelible ink for marking linen
may be easily prepared at home by
putting two inches of lunar caustic
in an ounce bottle and filling the
bottle up with good vinegar. Be
careful that the bottle is perfectly
clean or the result will not be sat
isfactory. Cork tightly and leave
in a sunny place for two days be
fore using..
Poverty Pudding.
Put a layer of apple sauce in a
buttered pudding dish'; then a layer
of cracker crumbs or bread, sprin
kled with bits of butter and season
ed with spice to taste; then a layer
of sauce, and so on. The upper lay
er being of crumbs, lay bits of but
ter on the top and bake. Eat with
eream.
Washing Stockings.
‘Unless washed with great care
black stockings soon turn a greenish
color. They should be washed with
soap that is free from soda and rins
ed in water to which a teaspoonful
of vinegar has been added. When
damp press them into shape, but do
not iron, as the heat tends to destroy
the color.
Sunday Freight Trains.
The supreme court of the United
States dismissed for want ot juris
diction case of J. N. Seale vs. State
of Georgia, involving the validity
of the Georgia state law prohibiting
the running of freight trains on Sun
day.
Seale is superintendent of South
ern Railroad Company and as such
was indicted, tried and found guilty
in Habersham County in 1903 on
charge ot violating the law.
He took the case to Georgian su
preme court, which sustained the
law and affirmed the sentence of the
trial court. The effect of this de
cision is to leave in force the finding
of the Georgia court.
CONDENSED STORIES.
Joke of the Freshmen Had an Unex
pected Climax.
“Nutsy,” the janitor in a fresh
man dormitory at Amherst college,
was in the habit of extinguishing
the corridor lights at 11 o’clock each
night. The freshmen planned a joke
on “Nutsy” and arranged a pail of
water over a door where a certain
light was in such a manner as to au-
>lEWfe====-
“WELL, BOYS, LET’S LIGHT UP.”
tomatically tip over on the janitor
on that auspicious night and pre
pared to watch the fun.
Night came, and with it “Nutsy,”
and the freshmen all apparently
asleep. “Nutsy” extinguished the
light, with the desired result. He
opened one of the dormitory doors
and called out, “Well, boys, let’s
light up.” And there, drenching
wet, to their consternation stood
George Harris, D. D., LL. D., pres
ident of Amherst. “Nutsy” happen
ed to be ill, and the president him
self had attended to the duty.—
Boston Herald.
A Change of Occupation.
“Jacob Riis, the sociologist,” said
a lawyer of New York, “has a soft
heart. His sympathy flows out in
every direction. The poor have in
him a true friend.
“Mr. Riis sat in my anteroom one
morning waiting to consult me.
Near him a young girl clicked busily
away on a typewriter. She was pret
ty and neat, with clear eyes and soft
hair, but perhaps she was a little
pale.
“As Mr. Riis regarded her, so
young and fresh, working hard in a
stuffy office while her more fortu
nate sisters were riding or motoring
in the park, he felt sorry for her,
and he said gently:
“ ‘Do you never get tired, you
young stenographers, of eternally
pounding away upon those keys?’
“ ‘Ah, yes, we do indeed/ said the
young girl.
“ ‘Then what do you do ?’ Mr. Riis
asked.
“ ‘Then, as a rule/ she answered,
smiling, ‘we marry our employers.’ ”
—New York Tribune.
How the “Devil” Got Even.
The late S. D. Farnsworth of the
firm of Goodale & Farnsworth, pro
prietors of the Manchester (N. H.)
American, in the days before the
war, was a unique swearer and when
perplexed or annoyed expressed his
feelings freely in a choice mixture
of profanity and pure English, ut
terly regardless of all rules of syn
tax and prosody.
On one occasion, thoroughly
aroused by some performance for
which the little “devil” of the office
was responsible, Mr. Farnsworth
“let out” upon the youngster with
some of the choicest specimens of
his manner of expression, seeming
ly crushing him with the weight of
words.
After the explosion the boy look
ed up at the tall man and exclaim
ed:
“Huh! You are a good one, you
are. Been through college and
can’t swear grammar.” Boston
Herald.
Put In Plain United States.
It was in a case before the su
preme court of Maine. A party had
sued the Boston and Maine railroad
to recover damages for personal in
juries. The company’s attorney,
Mr. Yeaton, was examining the
plaintiff, a rather illiterate man
from one of the rural districts, and
was endeavoring apparently to con
fuse him.
“Did you say an abrasion of the
tibia?” he asked.
The witness stared helplessly at
his questioner.
“I say,” again ventured the at
torney, “was there a contusion of
the scina ?”
The witness was ready to collapse
when his attorney, Lawyer Cope
land, who had a voice like a mega
phone, cried out, “He wants to know
did he bark his shin!”

WITH THE BOYS IH BALLDO*.
EDITED BY H. B.- C.
JUNIORS BEATEN IN HOSCHTON.
The Gainesville Juniors’ nine, consist
ing of boys under fourteen years, but all
good players, were beaten by the Juniors
of Hoschton Saturday with the score of
14 to 4in their favor. The Juniors from
here did not have all their “men,” and
as they got the word from Hoschton at
almost train time, they could not get up
all their players. But they did the best
they could and, although they were
beaten, they enjoyed the trip finely.
FLOWERY BRANCH BEATS NEW HOLLAND.
The Flowery Branch nine won off the
New Holland nine in a fast game at the
Park ball grounds Saturday, with the
score in the ninth inning 9 and 10 in
Flowery Branch’s favor.
Bickers Kicked by a Horse.
Mr. Sam P. Bickers had his skull frac
tured late Tuesday afternoon by a kick
from a loose horse on the public square
which he had gone out to aid others to
catch. The horse was the property of
Mr. E. E. Buffington and was loose on
the square when Mr. Bickers and others
went out to catch it. Mr. Bickers was
approaching the animal when it whirled
and kicked, striking him on the brow
near the juncture of the right eye and
nose, fracturing the skull and making
an ugly wound. He lost consciousness
only for a few moments and after being
helped to his feet, with a little assis
tance, walked to Robertson & Law’s
drug store, where Dr. Robertson dressed
the wound. The fracture is something
over an inch long and a probe would
easily pass through to the brain. After
the wound was dressed Mr. Bickers was
carried Home and at this writing there
are no serious complications.
At the regular communication of
Etowah Lodge, Masonic, it was de
cided not to have celebration until
later in the summer or fall.
