Medical Hints,


1. II man faints, place him fiat
on his back aud let him alone.
2. Ii any poison is swallowed,
drink instantly half glass of cool
water, with heaping tea-spoOniul

mustard stirred iutO it; this VOmitS
as soon as it reaches the stou ach
but for fear some Of the poison might
remain, swallow the whites of one or
two raw eggs or drink u cup of
strong coffee, these two being anti
doteS for 4 greater number of pOSons
than any dozen other articles known,
with the advantage of their always
being at hand ; ifnot, a pint of sweet
oil, or llmp oil, or dripPings" of
melted butter or lard, are good sub
stitutes, especially if they vomit
quickly.
3. The best thing to stop the bleed
ing of a moderate cut instantly, is TO
cover it profusely with cobweb, -four
and salt, half and half.
4. Ii the blood comes from wound
by Jets or spurts, be spry, or the
man will die in a few minutes, be.
cause an artery is severed tie a
handkerchief loosely around, near
the part between the wound aud the
heart; put stick between the hand
kerchief aud the skin, and twist it
around until the bIood ceases to
flow; keep il there until the doctor
comes ; if in a position where the
handkerchief cannot be used. press
the thumb on spot near the wound,
between the wOupd and the heart
increase the pressure until the bleed
ing ceases, but do not lessen the
pressure for an instant before the
physician arrives, so as glue up the
wound by cOagulation or cooling of

3. If your clothing akesfire, slide
the hands down the dress, keeping

1t is better to go to sleep on the

very much in the position of u bottle

Shall He be a Farmer I?

We say yes. He should for many
reasons. Some must be- farmers aud
producers. There are too many non

there is no business pays better on

they have not capital sufficient to
give them good start in trade, they
had better go to farming. This is all
wrong. Talent can he nScd to good

The Battle Of San JaCinto,

The Galveston Dispatch, of the
DIST, commentaries the anniversary
of the battle OF San Jacinto by re
pu3 fishing the following account Cf
the action:
On the 10Th of April, 1916, Santa
Anna, with the Mexican troops,
reached Harrisburg, and the Texas
troops, under General Sam Houston,
rapidly set odt to meet him. Santa
Anna had been cautioned not to ad-
vance into the country. The Texans
reached BGilalo Bayou, opposite
Harrisburg, on the morning of the
18th They learned Santa Anna had
burnt Harrisburg, and passed down
towards Galveston Bay, and chat he
was cut off from the main body of
his army. Geu. Houston was quick
to attack him.
On the 10Th Gen. Houston crossed
the bayou, and proceeded as far as
Lynch's ferry, where they oppOrtnne-
IL ca ltured fiatboat Of provisions
from the enemy on the 20th. The
Texas troops comprised two hundr, d
infantry, under command of Col.
Willard. stationed in the timbers,
and two pieces of artillery, under
Col. Neil. placed in front. n regi-
meHt of rihemen, under Col. Burle-
son, formed the right, and another
under Col. Sherman, formed the left.
The cavalry were in the centre, I've.
hind the infantry, under Col. Lamar
The battle commenced Oh the Goth,
and Col. Neill was wounded, but nc
result was decided that day. AT
night, the Texans advanced upon Tho
enemy'S camp.
Gen. Houston selected Deaf Smitl
and another man to proceed secretly
and cut down with axes Vince:
Bridge and burn it. This done, tn,
army was disposed as on the pre-
vious day, and the fight of the 21s
commenced.
The Texans advanced under til,
cry of Remember the Alamo,
Remember Go!iad," and rushed
headlong on the enemy. The fight
ing was desperate, and the Mexican
oveIpOwered everywhere.
In fifteen minutes the victory wa
gained, and the enemy fleeing i
every direction. Many were take
prisoners. KarneS pursued SAINT
Anna in person, but being MOUNTED
he plunged into the stream and u
the other side and escaped. Til

Too Muoh Marrying Suggestive
HINTS for the Thoughtless.

The Liberal Christian has an arti.
Gle on the above subject, from which
we take the following:
1t is not in the facility with which
people get divorced, but in the facil
ity with which they get married that
the mischief inheres. 1t is not the
unmarrying but the marrying-the
marrying without proper considera-
tiOn-marrying from wong motives
with false views and unfounded ex-
pectatiOns-marrying without know
ing who or what-that causes all the
disturbance. And there is altogeth-
er too much Of such marrying. Mar
rying. Marriage is thing of quail
| ty and degree. y marriage Of the
bleod is usually IL short-lived affair.
while IA marriage of the brain or of
| the heart is life long.
| When man and woman marry all
over and clean through every facul-
| ty and sentiment of each, finding its
complement and counterpart in the
other, separation is impossible. But
when they are only half married,
when only a third part of them is
married only i'll their instincts, OF
their imaginations or their fortunes.
the unmarried part of them is very
apt to get uneasy and rebel, and they
find a Bcblam where they looked fol
ElysIum.
There is altogether too much urg
ing and coaxing and alInring young
people into the most important an(
sacred of all human relations, before
they are prepared for its responsible
ties or able to assume It's blrdenS
f and by those who ought to know
better and act with more considera
ton. We make too much of marry
ing and being married, until it i
thought by the people somewhat o
a disgrace for woman to pas.
through life alone, when in fact, til
. life OF single woman is poetry, re
nance, rapture even, in compariso
with many a wife.

Don't expect too much of them it
has taken forty years, it may be, to
make you what you are, with all the
lessons Of experience. Above all.
don't expect judgment in child, or
patience under Trials. Sympathise
in heir mistakes aud troubles don't
rdicule them. Remember not to
measure a child's trials by your
standard. AS one whom his

ought to be found in every %oman's
