Frost Bites and ChiIbIaiDs.

Probably nc other forms OF accident
or injury come upon us SO unexpected
ly as those due TO excessive cold. AS
general thing we are not aware that a
part is being frozen until the mischief
ia already done. This il due to the
fact that one Of the effects Of severe
cold is to destroy the sensitiveness Of
the parts exposed. Surgeons make use
Of this fact in small operations and cool
the parts by artificial cold. The ears,
the nose, sometimes the cheeks and
the hands and feet are the parts most
liable to be frozen. One Of the first ef-
fects Of freezing is to stop the circula-
ton Of the blood, and any part in which
the circulation is checked by other
means is all the more likely to be
frozen.
The old-faahioned skates, held on by
numerous tight straps across the feet,
are dangerous on this account, as to
keep them in place the straps are
drawn So tight as to impede the circu-
lation in the feet, and frost-bitten feet
are often the consequence. Though the
operation of freezing is painless, q sud-
den thawing is attended with infiamma-
ton and great pain. The thawing
should be very slow, in order that the
/ circulation in the parts may be restored
gradually. For this reason il is advised
TO rub the frozen parts with snow or in
the absence of that with water made
as cold as possible with ice.
II is said that In Russia, when one
observes that another's face or nose is
being frozen, it is an act Of common
politeness 10 catch up handful Of snow
and apply it TO the face of the unfortu-
nate, even if he Is a stranger. Ii cases
Of severe freezing, besides gradual
thawing by the use of snow or ice, a
| physician should be called, as 1t may
be that proper precautions are needed
to prevent modification Of the parts. II
is not necessary for the feet TO be actu-
ally frozen to produce chilblains. The
term hostbitten is usually applied TO
such cases. Children often suffer great
~ from getting their feet very cold and
then going to the fire to warm them.
The circulation Is disturbed and the
parts remain exceedingly sensitive to
future changes Of cold and heat. Chill
blains vary from slight Inflammation
to severe cases In which the skin breaks
and even ulcers are formed. Of course,
such cases require professional treat
ment. To allay the intense itching and
pain Of ordinary chiblains, a great
number of applications have been used.
An ounce of sulpha.e of zinc (white
vitrioll IN a pint of water, or an ounce
of sal ammoniac dissolved In half pint
each of vinegar and alcohol are among
the washes often used. 1t is stated on

for raise of wages from one dollar
and half TO two dollars per day The
employers consider the demand exor-

No Such Word as Fail.

We begin to think that Richelieu's
creed was right there is no such
word as fail in the vocabulary of the
man who is bound to succeed in his
undertakings. In this world of ours
there are men and men. We see on
one hand young men well educated,
with perfect brain and form, unable
to cope with the world, On the 9th.
err we find men without education
with imperfect physical develop
ments, overcoming natural disadyan-
tages and achieving honorable sue
cess. There is residing somewhere
in New Jersey man who was born
without hands or arms, and yet can
write remarkably well, chiefly by
using his lips. His ambition, back
ed by a persevering industry, has en-
abled him to overcome difficulties
that seemed insurmountable, and he,
therefore, qualified himself for an
active business man. He is now
nearly thirty years of age, and is
subject of absorbing interest to all
who come in contact with him.

The Jews and Palestine.

This is almost the only land where
Jews have not been prosecuted, and
the Russian refugees have now aban-
dOned the attempt to settle here.
Most of those who came have return
ed across the Atlantic, and no more
are likely to enter Castle Garden.
The condition of the 100000 to g.
100000 Jews in Russia is hardly toll
cradle, and the outrages of ignorant
peasants may at any time break forth
against them anew. Under these
circumstances it is natural for their
thoughts to turn to Palestine, the
land to which every Hebrew feels
that all Israel is ultimately to be
gathered. The Sultan has opposed
the settlement of Jews in Palestine,
although he has encouraged them to
establish themselves in Syria, but
should a change occur which would
throw the country open to them, it is
not improbable the Holy Land would
rapidly be filled with population of
Jews. Palestine has become a land
of railways and the telegraph, and
the number of tourists has so rapid
ly increased upon its soil that the OPP
portunities for the traffic upon which
the Jew thrives and becomes vast,
and, besides, the desolate fiehls which
once blOssOmed under the care of
their fOreiathers can again be made
fertile as gardens. Stranger things
are recorded in history than would
be sudden movement within the
next few years which should bring
large portion OF the Russian Jews to
inhabit Palestine.
