After breakfast a servant whom the squire
had despatched acpOS the creek upon his
first arising, returned with the information
that Mr.. Taylor-the gentleman whom the
stranger had left at his gate on the road
would be over Immediately after breakfast.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Taylor, he and the
squire retired for consultation, to which
they after while called Randy, the vagrant.
They then returned TO the traveller, and,
after hearing his account once II ore, and
comparing the time Of his leaving Mr.. Tay.
lor with that Of his arrival at the squire's,
they proceeded to the creek in company.
Upon their arrival, the squire addressed
the traveller:
al have taken counsel with Mr.. Taylor
touching this case, which seems deep mys.
terry, after all the information we have been
SO far able to gather; the lady seems un.
known even TO Randy, who visits every house
in this and the adjoining counties, and you
are equally stranger to us. I consider,
however, that you have been fully discharged
from any connection with the affair. We
must first attemptt to gather something from
the Iaty herself"
At this point the doctor came out Of the
sick room. He stated that the lady had
greatly improved during the night, and that
the wound was, in all probability, not se>
rious; the lady had even recovered, in a
measure, the control Of her mental faculties
and language, though she was not fully con.
scious or coherent rs yet.

Warm Water For Bruises

From times unknown bruises have
been treated by cold water. Mothers in
our early life used to apply it to any
bruise or confusion, especially to bruises
upon the forehead. Notwithstanding
this illustrious example we prefer the
application of very warm water. Let
us see how the two operate Cold appli-
ed to the surface has tendency to
check the flow of blood. Heat, under
the same circumstances, augments il.
Thus applying cold water to bruise OF
confusion stops, more or less, the blood
in its course through the injured part.
The spot is "black and blue" Apply
ing hot water compels the moving fluid
to hasten its course and be far away
from the scenes of turmoil. So the blood
hastens on its way and leaves very few
marks ofits presence. Ordinary bruises
and contusions rupture some capillary
blood tubes, and allow the blood to ooze
out. The thing to be done is to compel
the blood to flow on its wonted way.
The application of very warm water is
the best treatment for contusions and
bruises.

Night Air.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of night air What air can we breath
at night, but night air ? The choice is
between pure night air from without
and the foul air from within. Most
people prefer the latter. An unaccount-
able choice. What will they say, if it
is proved to he true, that fully one-half
of all the disease we suffer from is occa-
stoned by sleeping with our windows
shut? An open window, most nights
in the year, can never hurt anyone.
This is not to say that light is not
necessary for recovery. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest air
to be had in the twenty-four hours.
We could better understand shutting
the windows in town during the day,
for the sake of the sick. The absence
of smoke, the quiet, all tend to make
night the best time for airing the
patient One of our highest medical
authorities on consumption and climate
has told us that the air in London is
never so good as after 10 o'clock at night
Always air your room then, from the
outside air if possible. Windows are
made to open, doors are made to shut,
a truth which seems difficult ofappre-
hension. Every room must be aired
from without, every passage from
within. But the fewer passages there
are in hospital the better.

Bread In Five Minutes.

The last sensation occurred last Thurs
day June II when about fifty men
were present by invitation to see Jim
Lawson beat his own time of two years
ago. when his wife had bread baked In
eight and quarter minutes after the
wheat was standing in the field. At
10 O'Clock 46m., 6s., the Buckeye reaper,
drawn by Cy. Burnett's dun mules,
stood at the corner of the growing wheat,
machine in gear ready for q start. Men
were stationed along the line of grain
ready to seize an armful as it fell from
the reaper, and rush with it to the
thresher close by, which under the di-
rection of veteran drivers was getting
under way for business. AT the mill,
just sixteen rods away, Lawson stood at
the window watching the moment
when McCaw on the swiftest horse in
the country, should start from the
thresher with the grain, while Mrs.
Lawton and her neice, Miss Alice, had
all the preparations made to make
griddle cakes and biscuits in the shortest
possible time. AT the drop of the hat
the dun mules sprang to the work, and
in I'm. los. the threshed wheat, about
peck, was in the sack and on the
horse, and the race commenced for the
mill. There were two bridges to cross,
and the excited spectators could only
see column of dust, hear couple of
taps on the plank bridge as the horse
flew over them at lightning speed, and
the wheat was delivered to Lawton in
the mill. In I'm. and Us. the flour was
delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m.
sos. from the starting of the reaper the
first griddle-cake came from the hands
of Miss Alice, and was gobbled by
dozen eager hands-and that was the
last of it. In Am. 37s. from the starting
of the reaper, according to the best
double time stop-watch in the country,
a pan of biscuits was delivered to the
hungry crowd by Mrs. Lawson. Then
other pans of delicious biscuits were
baked more at leisure, and boiled ham
and "one-minute biscuit" formeda sand
wich it was right hard to beat.
