He Piscourses on the Subject on the Once Familiar BootJack. ~*Mban I was a boy," said the middleâ€" aged man, ‘‘there was a bootjack in every home; in some homes there was one for the father and one for each of the sons ; but the oneâ€"boot jack homes got along very comfortably, for they didn‘t all want to use it at once; the boys went to bed early and left the bootjack for the old man. i % . "Bootjacks were made of wood and of iron ; originally they were all made. of wood. The :. wooden bootjack had a sometimes this opening was rounded out to fit the heel of the boot. Just back of this opening, on the under side of the bootjack, a little strip or block of wood avas nailed or screwed on across to raise the jaw end of the bootjack off the floor. The bootjack was sometimes of the same width at both ends, sometimes it was shaped down a little toward the floor end and sometimes it was curved in a little at the side, to give it more symmetrical _ proportions. The iron bootjack was made much more ornaâ€" mental than the wooden bootjack. . _ . wedgeâ€"shaped opening sawed in one end ; IHOTIME OMAE WMO NTNTO COREYO _ a "If a man‘s boots came off easily he could pull them off with a bootjack while sitting in a chair; if they were tight or damp, and so came off hard, he stood. ug) to it, putting one foot on the end of the bootjack to hold it down and wedging the heel of the other boot firmâ€" ly into the boot,jack‘s {;lw. ‘Then he pulled. _ Sometimes the boot came, sometimes it didn‘t. Sometimes if the boot was wet and came off particularly hard a man would upset himself in h:s AReC eR mc nun L struggles. It was wise when the boots were very hard to hold on to something: for support. Grownâ€"up men have been known to lose their temper over pulling off their boots. "In those days everybody, men and boys, wore boots, and the number of bootjacks required to supply th» reiular demand was great; and the boo jack was also.commonly used then to throw at cats nights. Many thousands of bootâ€" {Mks were annually lost or broken in his way.

For great soreness, pain, distention, thirst, inflammation and . anguish, they sootbe like magic. . A ‘ miserable, clammy, illâ€"prepared poultice li.s worse than none, everybody knows ‘all lumps and abominable slipperyness. Dr. Donaldson says to all mothers: ‘‘Never be without flaxseed meal on hand. It is usually called for in the night. Of this, take one pint and stir in enough warm water to saturate thorâ€" oughly, without too much wetting, this being a great mistake, for a dripâ€" ping poultice is a failure. Have ready a strip of cloth of such dimensions that when made into & sack it will completeâ€" ly cover the surface for which it is needed. _ Spread evenly to the depth of oneâ€"fourth of an inch upon oneâ€" half the cloth, then bring the other half over the face of the poultice and sew the edges togetherto keep it neatly in a closed sack, Lay .this poultice warm upon the sarface, and over it spread a mmrreas of cotton wool or seyâ€" eral layers of soft cloth (well warmed), so as to cover considerably beyond the affected part, on all sides.

A near neighbor has just been relieved of a longâ€"standing liver trouble after taking medicines in vain and beâ€" ing treated by our best physicians for months and gradually failing. A Rusâ€" sian doctor proposed trying flaxseed poultices upon his side. . They _orde_r:c:d poultices u(pon his side. . They ordered one peck of flaxseed meal to begin with, and changed the large poultices every three hours for 12 days and nights. The swelling and bardness were &(one in 10 days, the fever was broken and the appetite revived in two weeks. .
