TREATING CUT FINGERS.

Cut fingers are very common accidents in every household. They will happen, and the means of caring them should always be at band. In former times diligent sea: eh used to be ma.. c for, the übiquitous spider’s web. That practice is almost obsolete now. A spider’s web gathers other things besides flies —dust and disease germs, for example. The application ot the gossamer may possibly serve to stem a slight hemorrhage, but it is just the thing to cause a septic finger, if not something worse. The bleeding is soon stopped by firm pressure ot both sides oi the digit against the boue. This can be effected by squeezing it between the finger and thumb of the other hand and sometimes by merely holding the injured member as high above the head as possible. After well washing the cut in water, which has been boiled, apply a little bcracic lint, which has been wrung out in sterile water. Wrap a light bandage about the lint, and don’t look at it for two or three days. At the end of that time a glovefinger might be worn.
