1t is not surprising that the circum-
stances and incidents that attended
the admission of Kansas into the Un-
ion, the political excitement, constant
personal danger, open raids and secret
assassinations, intolerable outrage
and bloody retaliation, should
have developed among the actors men
Of peculiar and remarkable personality.
And in fact many such came
to the surface during the early strug.
giles of Kansas. John. Brown, James
Montgomery, c. R. Jennison, DR. boy
are names that will occur to all
But by far the most unique and re-
markable figure in that troubled epoch
was James II. Lane, Familiarity known
as Jim Lane of Kansas.
No other man of the time % thor
oughly impressed his influence on the
average sentiment Of his party, and no
other man had anything like his per-
sonal following. Lacking entirely
the intense moral convictions of John
Brown he also lacked the sanguinary
ferocity of that fierce fanatic, and
while Brown was the leader Of Q band
of restless and turbulent spirits,
Lane was the leader of the masses.
The writer of this was for years
personally well acquainted with this
singular man and was associated with
him somewhat intimately both in pol
itics and In war, and has witnessed
many instances Of his influence over
men both ~ individuals andmasses. and
yet was never quite able to understand
or aualyze the source Of his power.
In person he was slightly above the
medium height, his figure was slender
but wiry and well knit. His face was
thin, his eyes small but keen and
piercing, and deeply set under shaggy
brows. His forehead was high and his
head well developed, especially.
and this IL remarkable circumstance,
considering the characterof the man, the
region supposed to be devoted to the
moral faculties. His temperament was
nervous and his capacity for intense
and long continuedactivity was little
less than miraculous.
His most prominent mental charac-
teristic was . colossal egotism.
"Jim Lane" - he delighted
to call himself, WAS his CON.
slant theme; but owing to his personal
magnetism and his genial and friendly
manner with those around him, this
trait was not onensive but rather the
contrary. His friends thought Of Jim
Lane about ~ he did himself.
he had the reputation Of being an
effective popular orator and he
undoubtedly possessed the power Of
his audience and working
it up to the highest point Of enthusiasm
and excitement in Q remarkable degree.
But the source Of his power was not.in
the matter Of his speechs bat in the
manner and in the magnetism Of the
man.
He was not IN eloquent orator In the
understanding Of the phrase.

The popularity of popcorn is that it con

When gradually exposed to heat over brisk
fire, the oil in the grain becomes converted

Ho To stay Pretty.

Tepid water is preferable for every season
OF the year. Milk baths have been in favor
from time immemorial with ladies and moth
/. iag is better than daily hot bath of milk.
Mme. Taliieu was among the historical
who bathed iu mIlk, to which she added
crushed straw berries to give 1t an Agreeable
perfume. have also heard of an old lady
OF 80 who retained gulish complexion like
cream aud roses by always washing in the
ju,ceof crushed straw berries and nothing
~Iue. But We can, fortunately, keep our skins
healthy aud far without resortiDg to there
extreme measures.
Fur the full-leugth bath, bag of bran

Remark that no bath is perfect in its results
without the loug aud brisk friction of the
hands or cnarse towel afterward. Friction
IT only stimulates circulation, but 1t makes

When men forced iuto each otber's com
pany, as they are in public places, those
who do not smoke cannot offend any of the
smokers, but the smokers can and do inter
fere with the pleasures of others. AS the
people of the earth become more crowded
little { fl nses become great violations Of
rights. This is frequently the case with
smoking. On a summers evening many
people avoid pleasant square or promenade
on account Of the cigar smoke. 1t was a
great concession to the rights ofnon. .smok ers
when smoking was prohibited on street cars:
but there are evidence of a disposition to ex-
tend the prohibition still further. The trus-
tees of the Brooklyn bridge have made rule
against carrying lighted cigar, pipe or Gig
arctic on that structure. There is no doubt
about the justice of such a rule, and why
shouldn't it be madc to apply to crowded

How To Stop Bleeding.
LECTURE 70 NURSES ON HOW To ACT IN CASE
uEMORRHAgE.

LECTURE TO NURSES ON HOW TO ACT IN CASE
OF HkMORRHAGE,
| DR.. Richard Il. Harte, a surgeon in tn
University OF Pennsylvania, delivered an in
teresting lecture to nu's ses at the Universit!
Hospital yesterday afternoon and gave som,
good advice about the best manner in which
to arrest hemoirhages. He illustrated hin
lecruie with artificial models and thoroughly
explained the circulation of the blood auc
rod how easily hemurrhages could be stop.
p,d. DR.. Harte gave lengthy explanation
Of the actions Of the patieut while bleeding
aud showed how easy 1t Is to .stiDgnish
| bowel, nose and luug hemorrhages.
&C. Iu case of bleeding at the lungs, said
the lectu er, . which is caused by the rupt-
ure of small vessels, the blood is oonghed up.
Iu cases oi hemorrhages of the stomach the
blood is as dnrK as ouffee grounds and is
vom'ted up. IL bleeding of the nose the
blood is sometimes swa owed and on being
onughed up is mistaken as coming from the
Jugs. The varicose veins ni the leg art
sometimes ruptured aud the bleeding con-
tiuues without the knowledge of the person
upon whom it takes place. If you wipe
away the blood you fnd the wounds arc fine
as the point of pins.
In bleeding of wounds in the leg or arm
the principle Of gravitation is an important
natter, as it has much to do with stopping
the hemorrhage. Always place the wounded
blood will be controlled by gravity; that is,
# the wound is in the arm, hold it up IN
order that the blood will How back to the
oOdy. In case of wounds on the face or
body; throw tho person back, nearly in re.
cumJeut position. Tne fingers can be utir-
ized in many instances by placing them over
the wound in any part of the body. Always
place the finger on the artery and acove the
wound.
"rhy hemastetics or medicines are of two
kinds, local vital and chemists vital. The
local vital remedies are cold air, which is

There is no time when mau or woman

be done in natural tone of voice and never
