Cut THE on.

Every person shonId understood
now to treat a flesh wound, because
one is liable to be placed in circun-
stances, away from surgical and vet
Urinary aid, where he may save his
roWn life the life Of friend or Of )
beast, simply by the exercise Of
little common sense. In the first
place, close the lips Of the wound
with the hand, and hold them firmly
together to check the flow Of blood
until several stitches can be taken
and bandage applied. Then battle
the wound for a long time in cold
water. "Should it be painful, 3
correspondent says, "take common
brown sugar and hold the wounded
part in the smoke. In a few minutes
the pain will be allayed. In my
case q rusty nail had made a bad
wound in my foot. The pain was
nervous irritation and severe. This
was all removed by holding it in
smoke for fifteen minutes and I was
able to resume my reading in COM
fort. We have loften recommended It
10 others, with like results. One OF
ny men had a finger nail torn out by
pair of ice-tongs. 1t became very
painful as was to have been expected
Held in sugar smoke for twenty
minutes, the pain ceased and prom
sed speedy recovery"

Darwin's missing Link. ,

Mr.. DarWin's missing link" has
at length been found, to Judge from
an account of a dwarfsh human be-
ing, said to resemble a race of monk
eys, which is given by the Siam
Weekly AdUerttser. On the island
of BQrneo has been found a certain
race of wild creatures, Of which kin
dred varieties have been discovered
in the Philippine Islands In Terra
del Fuego and South Ameriea. They
walk usually, almost erect on two
legs, and IN that attitude measure
about four feet in height. They con
struct no habitations, form no fsmi-
lies, scarcely associate together, sleep
in caves and trees, feed on. snakes
and vermin, on ants eggs and on
each other. They cannot be tanned,
or forced to labor, and are shot
among the trees like the great goril-
Ia, of which they are a stunted copy.
When captured alive, one finds with
surprise that their uneouth. jabber-
ing sounds are ike articulate Ian
guage. They turn up human face
to gaze at their captors, and the fe-
males show instincts Of modesty-
in fine, these Wretched beings are
men and women.

Destructive Powder.

Corrosive sublimate is disastrous
to ants. A little of it sprinkled g
cross one Of their paths in dry wealth
er has a most surprising effect. As
soon as one of the ants touches the
white powder it commences to run
about wildly, and to attact any other
ant it comes across. In a couple Of
hours round balls of the ants viii be
found all biting each other, and nun
erous individuals will be seen bitten
completely in two, while others have
lost some Of their legs or antenna.
News of the commotion is carried to
the fOrmicariam and huge ants,me
uring three quarters Of an inch IN
length, that only come out Of the
nest during a migration or an attack
on the nest of one CT the working
columns, are seen stalking down
with determined sir, as if they
would right matters. As soon,
however, as they have touched the
all their stateliness leaves
them; they rush about; their legs are
seized by some Of the smaller ants
affected by the poison; and
they themselves begin to bite, and
in q short time become the center Of
fresh balls of rabid ants. The sub
Innate can only be used effectively
in dry weather.
