How to Make a Poultice.

DIR. Bruton, in Brain. the new Lon
don periodical. gives the following use
full hints on this subject: The common
practice of making poultices by mixing
linseed meal with hot water and apply
ing it directly to the skin is quite
wrong, because if we do not wish 10
burn the patient We must wait until a
great portion of the heat has been lost.
The proper method is to take flannel
bag. the size of the poultice required,
to fill this with the linseed pouliice, as
hot as can possibly be made. and to
put between this and the skin a second
flannel, SO there shall be ut least two
thicknesses of flannel between the skin
and the poultice itself. Above the
poultice should be placed more flannel.
or a piece of cotton wool, to prevent it
from getting cold. By this method we
are able to apply the linseed meal boil
ing hot, without burning the patient,
and the heat. gradually diffusing
through the flannel, affords grateful
sense of relief, which cannot be OBJ
tanned by other means. There are few
ways in which suc.I marked relief is
given to abdominal pain, as by the APP
plication of poultice in this manner.

That's Why!

The correspondent of one of the
London papers relates the following
amusing anecdotes:
''This is a very fine country, after all.
Pat, and it's a great pity that political
disorganization should interfere with
its prosperity" said a cosmopolitan
friend of mine to the driver of y car
which was jolting him over rough but
picturesque road in the west of Ireland.
'Ah, you may say thatr' was the
reply; ''but the English have taken the
livin' out of us this twenty year, as long
as l can reminder"
''The Land Leaguers mean 10 settle
the business this time, supposea''
''Begorrah, and they dor' said Pat,
whipping up his steed; ''there are two
hundred thousand of thin ready to do
it this very minute, all armed to the
teeth"
.'Is that so?''
at is SO; and they could wipe the
entire British army off the face of the
earth, not doubt of it.''
''And why don't they do itP''
'.DOn't you see why, sorr?''
Pat cracks his whip and turns around
to wink at my friend.
They're afraid of the police; that's
why, sorr!'

The fickle Sex,

A woman-hater thus analyzed the inn
pulses of the sex: "Let us suppose Il
woman whose affections are dsengaged,
walking on the bank of river with
two young men. She falls into the
water. One of the two men plunges in
and rescues her. Which of the two
will she love?'' -, lnttt
.'The one who saved her. of course"
'.Not at all. She will prefer the one
who remains on the bank, and limits
his endeavors to rubbing her hands and
feet. His hair is in good order and his
collar irreproachable. While the one
who jumped into the water after her is
dripping wet. his hair clings absurdly
to his head, his complexion has a
greenish tinge, a word. he is dis
gustingr'

Dark Clothes and Disease

1t may not, perhaps, be known that a
man wearing dark clothes is more liza
BILE to infection from contagious dis
ease than he who wears light-colored
garments. because particles which ema-
nate from diseased or decaying bodies
are much more readily absorbed by
dark than by light fabrics. This is
easy of proof. Expose light and dark
coat to the fumes OF tobacco for five
minutes, and it will be found that the
dark one smells stronger than the other
of tobacco smoke, and it will retain the
odor longer. Truth.

the field of carnage, when he enthusi-

Ostrich feathers are not so much used
for personal adOrnment by ladies as
formerly, but there seems to be still
q considerable demand for them. The
British consul ut Mogador states that
these feathers form an important
branch of the MOgador exports. the
quantity last year for England and
France being fOrty-one cwt., valued ut
916.5OO. The feathers came from the
SOudan, and further south, generally
from birds killed by native hunters.
