Burns and Scalds.

Burns and scalds are among the most
common Of accidents, and perhaps there
are none for which moro remedies have
been suggested and employed. With
some of these remedies it is the duty of
all of us TO become familiar, that we
may know what to do in an emergency.
1t is thousand pities to have the chance,
once in a lifetime, of playing the part of
the good Samaritan and lack the skill.
The first thing to be noticed is, that in
moving injured people great care should
be taken not to add to the effect of the
shock which the system has already ex-
perienced. In removing the clothes
there must be no tearing off of the
burnt or blistered skin, which affords O
useful protection for the injured sur
face. The next thing is to cover the
burnt or scalded parts with material
that will exclude the air. Flour answers
we'll. and should be freely applied. Or
common whiting, reduced by cold water
to the consistence of thick cream, may
be spread on light linen rag, and ap-
piled to cover the injured surface. The
ease it affords is instantaneous, and ii
only requires to be kept moist by occa-
sional sprinkling of cold water. Cotton
wool, if at hand, may be wrapped
round the injuries, or lint, or linen rags
stepped in water may be used. These
may be covered with oiled silk.
mixture of inseed oil and lime water, in
equal proportions, may be applied with
rags laid over the burns. The more ex
tensive the surface involved in the acci
dent, the greater care should be taker
not to expose it to atmospheric in
fuence, which increases the pain. and
also adds constitutional depression
Should the sufferer be greatly exhausted
give brandy or other stimulant /; if tn,
pain be excessive and irritating to the
nervous system, ten drops of laudanun
should be given until professional ait
can be obtained.

Men and Women Cooks.

There seems to be more natural diff
Guilty for the woman to learn than the
man. There is sweet tooth running
through her sex which affects her taste
and renders her less trustworthy. She
is less exact, at least in the pursuit of
this vocation, and does not reason as the
man does. If he fails he thinks and
tries to find out the cause of the failure,
which she is less apt to do. He gives
pounds and ounces as to quantity where
she gives approximate handfuls. The
man is more particular about the food
which he consumes himself, which
makes him more careful about what he
prepares for others. Many women are
content provided they have ice cream
and sweet cake, or something equivalent
thereto. Count de Najac, man of some
authority concerning the table in Paris,
AYERS that the interest and traditions OF
the kitchen can only be confined with
safety to men, and that if the women
guests at a table were not under the eye
of the stern sex they would begin dinner
with the dessert. As may be conceived,
this is painful mistake for O French.
man to make, but sense of duty doubt
less rises above all other considerations.
Notwithstanding, even if men be su.
perior to women in this calling, if any
widespread movement is to come about
the movement must come from them, fol
the kitchen is virtually in their hands.

The Tarantula'S Bite.

Dan Sheppard, workman on the
South Pueblo water works ditch, Oolora-
do, some time since, the Denver NeeUs
says, was bitten by tarantula. Shep-
pard was sleeping in cabin on the
Grayback ranch. He had made his bed
on the floor, and had scarcely gone to
sleep when he felt something pinch his
left shoulder and then run across his
face. He tried to catch it with his
hand, but it escaped him. Severe pains
beginning to shoot from the shoulder,
Sheppard became convinced that he had
been bitten by tarantula. He then
ran up the railway track to M. t.
Robinson's, about mile distant, in the
hope of getting some whisky for use as
an antidote, but unfortunately Robinson
had no whisky on hand. He then re-
turned down the track and went to a
house near where he was bitten.
Sheppard is stout, powerful man,
but by this time he was nearly exhaust
ed. The pain had passed from his shoul.
der down. his left side, then into his
legs and up his right side, until his
whole body was affected, and he was in
a state of tho most excruciating agony.
A neighbor Immediately mounted his
horse and galloped to Pueblo, eight
miles distant, for supply of whisky.
In the meantime Sheppard returned
to his cabin, and in short time, from
the action of the poison, he became al
most insensible, and his body, head and
limbs became frightfully swollen. Ii
just two hours and half from the time
he was bitten, the much needed whisky
was received from Pueblo.
The poisoned man was now in very
critical condition, unable to move, ant
evidently at the very gates of death
The whisky was Immediately admins
tered, and he speedily revived. Abou
quart was given him, when, as Shep
pard himself says, he began to feel him
self the strongest man in Colorado, an(
it was with difficulty that four mel
could hold him. 1t soon became eviden
that the whisky would prove an effectua
antidote to the tarantula poison.
Sheppard is now recovering rapidly
and though he is still weak, and has los
some thirty pounds in weight, there i
little doubt that in a week or so he wi
be all right again.
It is little singular that, althoug
the effects were 80 terrible, the bite il
self left mark so small as to be scarcel
perceptible. Although the whole of th
rest of the body was badly swollen, th
spot bitten was scarcely affected.

The Turkish Capital.

The population of Constantinople,
with the suburbs, is now estimated at
800, ZOO. and the burden of vessels clear
ing the port at about 1000 tons. The
Roumelian railroad connects the city
with the northern provinces, passing
through wonderfully rich but wretch
edly cultivated country, and before long
there will be more direct railroad COM
munication with Europe by line meeS-
ing the Ruschuk- -Varna railroad, and
crossing the Danbue at Gurgieve, to
join the terminus of the Roumanian
truck line. Pera, thanks to frequent
fires and foreign residents, bids fair to
blossom into pleasant place for Chris
tian to dwell in. Two-thirds of it was
burned in 1870, when 1000 houses, in
Guiding the British embassy, were de-
stroyed. 1t is not being rebuilt on the
former site, but large town is raising
around the spot where the old town
stood, and about Galata, covering a
wide area. A very important Christian
city is probably destined to grow up
here, under the auspices of the embas-
sizes which cluster on Pera's heights.

A Handsome Sum.

The report that Mr.. Delane will short

London Times excuses reference to a
statement which has been going the
rounds relating to the births, marriages

proprietor, thinking that Benedick
might very well pay a trife for the an
nouncement that he had volunteered
into the "noble army of martyrs" fix
ed a tariff of half crown upon each
epithalamium-the money to go to the
printers. One morning at breakfast
Mrs. Walter suggested that the sum
realized in this way would ft in very
nicely to her pocket allowance; and her
husband, seeing with the eyes of his
wife, diverted the revenue accordingly.
At the subsequent transfer of property,
it was found that the, triple record OF
human weakness and mortality was
worth fully four thousand year.

A Nervous Actress.

Laferriere, says a French journal, has
been playing "The Poor Idiot" in the
provinces. At one small town the stock
company was very nervous about play
ing with the great star, especially hap
less woman who was cast for the mother,
and with whom Laferriere has the crack
scene of the piece. 1t is in the fifth
act, at the moment that the idiot begins
to recognize and distinguish the persons
that surround him; then she rushes to
him and, folding him in her arms,
shrieks
"My son, L am your mother !".

1t was Very Warm.

At dinner party there were two
sisters present, one widow who had
Just emerged from her weeds. the other
not long married, whose husband had
lately gone out to India for a short
term. A young barrister present was
deputed to take the widow down to dim
ner. Unfortunately he was under the
impression that his partner was the
married lady whose husband had just ar
rived in India. The conversation be-
tween them begun with the lady's re-
marking how extremely hot it was.
"Yes, it is very ot," returned the
young barrister. Then happy thought
suggested itself to him, and he added
with q smile "But not so hot as the
place to which you husband bas gone."
The look with which the widow an
swered this "happy thought" will
haunt that young barrister till the day
of his death.

A Modern Antique.

There is millionaire here, Hu Kuang
Yung, says Centennial letter, who has
an exhibit of porcelain or chinaware that
is very, very valuable, because it is
very, very old. You must know that
cracked ware is now all the rage; do
not know why, except that it is supposed
to be very old when covered with net
work of cracks. A jar all crackles j.
worth about $500 or 5000. We had i'll
the family hideous thing-half bowl
half pitcher; old-ever so old-older
than am. Years ago it was laid away
among the archives 1--WE keep them in q
barrel in the CELLAR because grease would
ooze out through the crackles. After a
day among tho chinaware at the Exhi
bition, Toffy, who is always diving into
the musty recesses of the past to drag
up some relic of kingly splendor, went
down into the cellar and fshed that
bowl out. 1t was dark brown, and Gov
cred with ribs abont half an inch apart.
Toffy vanished it and painted the ribs
a yellow green. Then she set it in the
sun to dry. When dried, she placed it
on the front parlor mantel, where it re.
ally looks hideous enought to be genuine.

Young and Old,

When We are young our boys are sweet,
They climb our knees and lie at our feet;
When we are old they are hard to please,
Cold as the rock and wild rs the breeze;
They kiss us kindly and speak us fair,
But we know their hearts are otherwhere.
Oh, my sons my son till he gets him q
wife,
But my daughters my daughter all her
life.
When we are young our days our bright,
And full Of hope from morn till night;
When we are old we sit alone,
Aud think Of pleasant days long gone,
When the house was full of the children's
noise,
The willful girls and the naughty boys.
Oh, my sons my son till he gets him a
wife,
But my daughters my daughter all her
life.

The Bushmen account for the origin
of the milky way by relating how girl
of the ancient race wished for little
light, so that the people might see to
return home at night. She therefore
threw wood ashes into the sky, which
became the milky way. This same girl,
being vexed with her mother for giving
her too little of certain red edible r OF,
threw up portions of it into the sky,
where they became stars.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
THURSDAY, APRIL Is. 1875.

In the case of White6cd against the United
States, now pending 10 the Supreme Court,
the question is whether the Confederate States
we're capable of taxing title BY purchase, so as
to divest the vendor of his interest therein;
and further, whether. if so competent, pur-
chase by them on credit was invahdated, 80 as
to restore title to the vendor, by the dlssou'
ton of the Confederacy before the delivery OF
the property as by insolvency in the case Of
private purchaser. The claimant sold cotton
10 the Confederate States, retaining it subject
to delivery, receiving partial payments thereon
in Confederate bonds, but before it was deliV-
cred the Confederacy was dissolved by the close
ofthe war. Whiteield now claims that the
title did not pass from him by the sale to the
Confederacy, but If it be held that 1t did, then
that it was restored by the dissolution and con-
seouent insolvency Of that government before
delivery. The Government insists that the
Court has already decided that the Coincide
rate States could purchase real estate, and that
the principle of the decision will apply to thu
case.
