Extensive war preparations are
being made in Great Britain. At The
large yictualing yanl 1t Deptford,
England, rations and forage Tor the
army are being issued with all posi-
bic haste. New machinery for the
yard is constantly arriving; and tie
laborers are working extra hours.
War vessels are getting ready for sea,
at the special order OF the govern
ment. And Hon. Mr.. Cross, home
secretary, evidently expressed the
sentiments of the English people,
when he said, in his speech at London,
Monday night; England will not
sanction the oppression of tyranny,
in any part Of the world" And he
also remarked that England would
preserve her treaty engagements, and
set an example which other nations
would do well to initiate. Yet, there
is q deep impression among military
officers of that country, that tits soon
to be involved in war. Vessels arc
lying in readiness to embark %, 900
troops; and additional ships can be
made available, il needed.
1t is reliably reported that Russian
Emissaries have recently arrived in
the United States. And they will
imme diately telegraph to their gov
eminent to seize any vessels laden
with weapons for the Turks, from
this country.
An alarming riot took place in the

Hot WATER FOR BRUISES The New
York Medical Journal reports this case
The patient was engaged in a machine
shop, and while his hand was upon the an
vii of trip hammer, the hammer-weigh-
ing seven hundred pounds-fell. 1t so
happened that file was on the anvil, and
in this way the force of the hammer was
arrested about half an inch before it reach
cd its bed. When the hand was examined
it was found that the whole palm was a
mass of pulp. The metacarpel bones were
comminuted extensively, and there was
apparently but small chance of saving the
hand. 1t was, however, placed in hot
water, and kept there for two Or three
weeks, and then taken out and dressed In
three months the patient was sufficiently
well to leave the hospital, and now-nine
months after the accident-he is able TO
move the fingers, and has quite useful
hand" Bruises and injuries do much bet
ter when treated with hot than with cold
water. The temperature should be about
one hundred and three degrees Fahrenheit.
Another case is reported Of compound frac-
ture, and dislocaton of the ankle j)int, in
which the proXimal end Of the first meta
tarsal bone protruded from the foot.
The dislocation WAS reduced and the
foot placed in hot water. At the end
Of week it was taken out and dressed in
the ordinary manner. The foot is now do
ing well, and promises good result

Prof. Seeley said he had wanted to hear
some practical farmer speak to practical
farmers on this subject. Fore-warned was
fore-armed; the pest was here; its rava-
ges were sure, unless we took united ac-
ton on the subject; one or two alone in a
neighborhood could not do it, but all must
work together to secure immunity from
harm; but with thorough manipulating Or
