How Arterial, venous and Internal Hem
orrhage NEay BE Controlled.

How Arterial, yenous and Internal Hem
orrhage Nray he Controlled.
There are three kinds of hemorrhage
--arterial, venous and internal. Arte-
rial hemorrhage is that which comes
from the arteries, and consists of bright
red blood which comes in spurts. When
this is seen, leave everything else and
stop that at once. The safest and sur
est way of doing this is to make steady,
firm and equal pressure between the
wound and the heart. If you do not
know where the large arteries are, or
their course, then grasp the limb firmly
above the wound and continue to do so
until help comes. There is no danger
of pressing too tight if you use your
hands, but if you have long to wait it is
better to use stout bandage, or large
handkerchief, wound tightly around the
limb, and pencil or small piece of
wood slipped through the bandage and
turned screw fashion, will enable you
to hold il more evenly and securely.
If the hemorrhage GENES from the
veins, the blood viii be Of a darker color
and flow slower and more sluggishly.
From this kind of bleeding there is less
danger, although prompt measures
should be used to check it. This may
usually be done by the use of cold
water. ice, sometimes tepid water, or
by simply applying firm, strong band
age. The custom, common among
wood-choppers, of doing up cut in its
own blood has many points in its favor,
nor is it unsc entfic. 1t is important
to remember that. if the wound be a
b rye one, care should be exercised to
keep out the air rs much as possible.
At the same time be sure to remove
from the wound all foreign bodies, such
as dirt, glass, snreds of clothing, etc.
Internal hemorrhage may be recog-
nized by the extreme prostration of the
pat ent, partial loss of consciousness,
pallor of the face and lips and feeble
pulse. In such cases send at once for
a physician, moisten lips with water
and occasionally give little to drink,
if patient calls for it. Do not use slim
ulants, as they stimulate the heart and
only increase the hemorrhage. Rest and
quiet are important things to be remem-
,bered. If feet and legs feel cold, bot
ties or bags Of hot water may be put
around them.-D. N. Patterson, NJ d.,

ALL ABOUT LACROSSE.
An Indian Game Which Has become
Popular In All Parts of the World.

An Indian Game Which Has become
Popular In All Parts of the World.
There is no doubt that this game is Of
Indian origin. 1t was first seen by
Europeans when the French explored
the territory along the st. Lawrence
river and the great lakes, in the seven
teenth century. Among the Algonquin
Indians the game was not merely re-
creation. but training school for young
warriors, and they played it on the
grassy meadows in the summer time,
and on the ice in winter. They used a
ball of stuffed skin, and bat like a
hickory stick with net of reindeer hide
attached to the curved part of it. The
best-known indian name of the game
was baggataway. Its present name
was given to it by the French settlers of
Canada, because of the similarity of the
stick used in the game, in shape, to a
Bishops crosier. Lacrosse was adopted
as game by the white residents of
Canada some forty years ago, but it did
gain much popularity till about 1860,
when the Montreal Club was organized.
The game was first played in England
IN 1867, when gentleman of Montreal
took eighteen Indian players, of the
Caughnawaga tribe, thither, who played
it before large assemblies. The result
was the organization of number of
Lacrosse clubs in England and Scotland,
and the game snow very popular there.
1t was first introduced into the United
States about three years later and the
first club in this country was the Mo-
hawk Lacrosse Club of Troy, N. Y. In
1879 the National Lacrosse Association
was organized here. 1t would be i'm
possible, in our brief space, to give any
synopsis of the rules of the game; these
must be learned from book on the
subject, but we will outline briefly how
the game is played. There are twenty
four contestants, twelve on each side,
with the captains mot necessarily
players) two umpires and referee.
The twenty-four players are each pro-
vided with crosse. The two captains
are not allowed to carry a crosse, their
official work on the field being simply
to coach the players At each end
of the field of play stands goal, con-
sistng of two posts, SIX feet high and
six feet apart These goals must be at
least 125 yards apart, otherwise there
is no restrictive rule on the length and
with of the field. The Indians used a
much larger field than any used in the
game as adopted by white ball-players.
The ball. which is of rubber. should
weigh not over four ounces nor meas
ure more than eight inches in circum-
ference. The theory of the game is
merely that each side strives to send
the ball through the goal of the other
side, and the side that does this the
most times within specified period
wins the match. The players on each
side stand at certain fixed points. The
ball must not be handled in any way;
it must be picked up, carried or thrown
only by means of the crosse. This i'm.
plement, as now used, is a bent stick
covered with netting. Chicago Inter

they come and go?

know when we have snow?

our hopes aud fears?
Can We recollect the time when We yourselves
shed bitter tears?
DO We sometimes wish to speak to us and

Do ye see how much we suffer in the thorny
path OF life?

beyond the tomb,
Would such knowledge make us towards?

Ye can see what God has written in the Books

Ye have kept your secret from us because Il
is Gods will!

HUMAN CUPlDITY.

An Offensive and Yet Amusing Exhibi-
tion OF Contemplate selfshness.

nature are often revealed in court rec
ords, and it is surprising how trifling a
matter will sometimes lead men to ''gO

can senators that section 50 of the tenure of
otnce act, prevents the re-appointment of a
man appointed to FIJI vacancy before the
late session of the senate, whose nomination
was not acted upon. The president has.
however, re-appointed number of men
who were in that condition. 1t is understood
that he examined the law in the case before
dong so, and rests his right to make these
appointments upon the last clause of the
section of the second article of the constitu-
ton. namely:-'The president shall have
power to I'LL all vacancies which may happen
during recess of the senate by granting
commissions which shall expire at the end
