How 20 Treat Wounds,

Every person should know how to treat
a flesh wound. Every one is liable to be
placed in circumstances away from surgi-
cal and veterinary aid, whore he may
save his own life, the life vf friend or
beast, simply by the exercise Of little
common sense. In the first placs, close
the lips OF the wound with the hands and
bold them firmly together, 10 check the
flow Of blood, until several stitches can
be taken and a bandage applied. Then
battle the wound for long time in cold
water.
"Should it be painful" q gentleman
writes, stake painful Of burning Goals
and sprinkle upon them brown sugar and
hold the wounded part in the smoke. In
q minute or two the pain will be allayed,
and the recovery proceed rapidly. In my
case rusty nail had made bad wound

tation were severe. This was all removed
by holding il in the smoke fifteen minutes,
and | was able to resume my reading in

war would come, between the Catholics

enemies from the face of the earth, and
avenging the wrongs of centuries. Then

His inlantile features lost their seraphic
expression, and he was "only a baby"
after that. In few hours he was dead.
There was great excitement in the neigh
borhood of Lafayette street, and much
talk was INDUCED in over the infants
miraculous speech and the bloody proph-
ecy which it contained. There is M

a Detroit newspaper reporter by a man

veraclty. We can only hope that the
baby himself was misinlormed.

The New Motive Power..ssCoId
| Steam.D

OF late there have been frequent men.
tons of new motive power, said to have
been discovered in Philadelphia, which is
to revolutionize the worlds industry.
The most ineligible statement that has
appeared Of the nature Of the discovery
was recently published in Philadelphia
paper. The inventor, Mr.. Kelly, claims
to have discovered mechanical process
by which water can be converted from an
inelastic into an elastic fluid without
the aid of either fire or chemicals; and
this fluid which, for want Of a better
name, is called cold steam, exerts q force
greater than that of steam.
Mr.. Kelly first made his discovery
some years ago while experimenting upon
a power saving water wheel. TO test the
power that he had thus accidentally OBJ.
tanned, Mr.. Kelly made cylinder of
drawn copper; this he encased in wrought
iron, and around both he placed strong
steel bands, making cylinder Of
very great strength. The power was
then applied, and the cylinder was torn
in pieces instantly. Next q three.horse
power engine was built, and afterward one
OF fifteen horse power. 1t is asser ted
hat these engines have been run every
day for year in the city of Philadelphia
without fuel, without chemicals, and at
cost of not one cent. 1t is further as
serted that scientific experts who have
seen the power tested pronounce it prac.
tlcable, and say that it accomplishes all
that Mr.. Keely claims for it.
If all this is true, it is hardly possible
to exaggerate the impor tance Of the dis
covery. Among the advantages DOS.
sessed by the new motor are these: First,
it is non-explosive. Second, it obviates
danger of fire, which, in navigation
especially, is matter of very great i'm
portance. Third, it costs nothing, except
for he mechanism by which it is applied.
Fourth, it saves space as we'll as expense;
ocean vessels using it will not have hall
of their space occupied by great boilers,
and great heaps of fuel. But it is not vet
established that it is all true.

Robbing Bird Nests.

Boys who rob bird nests and parents
who permit their children to do 50,
should bear in mind that there is a rig
orous law upon the statute books to
punish and fine parties guilty of this
crime and wanton Offense. 1t is the duty
of every person who knows of the law
being violated to lodge complaint and
assist i'll its emforcement.-St. Joseph
Gazette.
This is al very well and proper in it.
seif-in fact, it seems Il little severe on
the boys. But upon substantially the
same question,-thc circumstances only
differing so far as to make the ~inconsis-
tency the more glaring--the position ard
influence OF the st. Joseph dailicS is
very different. What DO they think of
the protection due to those eggs when
Matched out, and assuming the living
form OfbirIs? One would think by
reading their recent articles on bird
shooting matches in St. Joseph, Kansas
City, and other places, where thousands
of birds are wantonly sacrificed Us pas
time for "SpOrts,' and the prominence
and celebrity given to petty bird hunt
ing excursions, that their sollcitude for
the preservation of birds eggs sprung
from 10 better motive than the desire
that the birds should be allowed to grow
so as to furnish victims for the thought
lessness and destructiveness Of older
heads. The acts Of the little BOYS in
destroying the eggs and nests are GER
tainlv lore innocent than those of the
Older heads in destroying the birds.
The destruction of birds nests is a fit
ting companion to the destruction OF
birds in the shooting Matches" and
the same Judgment should be applied to
both.

Distribution of Rainfall.

Among the very few meteorological
stations at which the rainfall has been
recorded either continuously or hourly
is to be noted that of Berne, of Swift
Zerland, the observations at which place
for the last eight years have recently
been studied by Forster. The diurnal
p~eriodicity OF rainfall both as regards
its quantity and frequency follows at
this place a regular law, and, on the
average of the year, it is shown that the
probability OF rain increases from one
O'Clock in the morning to Il maximum at
seven o'clock in the morning, then sinks
to Il minimum at two O'Clock in the af-
tcrnoon, and rises again to Il maximum
at midnight. The diurnal period is
thus almost opposite to that which OBJ
tains under the tropics, where in the
afternoon, at the hour ut which the tenn
perature is ut its maximum, and at which
the clouds are, Oh IN average. the high
est above the earth, il rains most ire
Gnently.
