TREATMENT FOR GUMBOIL.
Gumboils are moat pajbnfrland re-
sult generally from a decayed root
of a tooth, which causes the tnflam-
mation and abscess that resolves it-
self into a gumboil. Foment the
outside of the face with a hot camo-
mile and poppy-head fomentation
and apply a small white bread and
milk poultice to the gumboil. Re-
new frequently. So soon as the pain
and swelling have disappeared, it ia
best to have the tooth removed. In
Inses where decayed and ulcerated
roots have been allowed to remain,
disease of the jawbone has resulted.
Usually when the Sufferer takes cold
there will be a renewal of the inflam-
mation, pain and annoyance.
PLEASANT DWELLING PLACE.
Residents of a miserable seaport
on the Persian gulf called their town
Bushire (Boosheer). Its narrow,
dirty, ill-paved streets British tars
are now patrol ing in the interests of
Persian and British commerce! ’The
city is visited by earthquakes and
simooms and stints its children of

To illustrate the twentieth cen-

naethdds and to show that, as ’She ’
designs ted it, there is nothing' hew
or wonderful in $e efectyic light-au-

this story: “A piano tuner was busy
putting our instrument into condi-
tion, when our little five-year-old
son rushed into my room, with won-
der stamped on his face, and ex-
claimed: ‘Mother! think of it!

on the piano with his hands.’ ** The

COMING INFORMATION.
Mr. Pett Ridge, the English nov-
elist, always haa a fund of stories.
His latest tells of a mother who, en-
tering the nursery, observed her lit-
tle girl absorbed in drawing some-
thing upon a piece of paper. She
was pleased at such evidence of in-
dustry and initiative, and said aa
much. “And what are you drawing,
darling?” she asked.
“God,” was the brief reply.
^Oh, my dear child,” said the
shocked mother, “you can’t do that,
you know. No one has seen God;
we have no idea what he looks like.”
“You’ll see when I’ve finished,”
said the little girl.
