Now THAT New York lawyer has
been wilied half million dollars by
a grateful client whose release from
an insane asylum the lawyer was in
strumental in securing, there will
perhaps be a natural tendency in the
legal fraternity to look carefully
after insane clients. It would, how
every, put different face upon the
matter if the bequest should prove
to be of piece with the former
alleged insanity of the testator.

the voters of Washington county

EXTRACTING TEETH.
Hints That Should Bc Borne in Mind
Under Some Conditions.

Hints That Should Sc Borne in Mind
Under Some Conditions.
The extraction of teeth is usually &C.
companied by slight flow of blood,
which ordinarily ceases before the pa
tient quits the dentists Office. Where
this is not the case, or where the
hemorrhage breaks out afresh when
medical advice is not at hand, it should
be borne in mind that the first and
most natural check is the CLOTHING of
the blood in the cavity, and this should
not be disturbed. If it is necessary TO
rinse the mouth, let it be done very
carefully, so as not to dislodge the clot,
if one is forming. Where this does not
occur, the first recourse should be to an
astringent, and tannin is the best of all.
If that is not at hand, fine powdered
alum will answer very we'll, burnt cork
may be sprinkled over the surface, or
little ball of spiders web, lightly
pressed into the wound, may answer the
purpose when other means fail, as this
pest of every housekeeper is an inval-
liable styptic. In addition to these, a
compress may be necessary, and an
dI IlClO WulCu Will dHSWcT ali purposes
may be made for an emergency by cut
ting V-shaped slit in cork of the
right dimensions to pass over the
wounded gum. This may be lightly
pressed into place by the teeth of the
other jaw, and as it is applied pledget
of lint or similar dressing may proper
ly be fitted to the cavity, though often
the compress alone will prove effectual.
1t is useful, also, in such cases, to main
tain an erect position of the patient,
either sitting or standing. Warm foot
baths are also helpful, with friction of
the lower limbs. to divert the blood
from the head as much as practicable.
These directions and suggestions apply,
of cousse, to such occasions as require
treatment in the absence, or awaiting
the arrival, Of the family physician or

THE OLD FARM HOME.

If you've been happy rover
Through the fields of fragrant clover,
Where life is all simple round of bliss,
When at eve the sun is sinking
And the stars are family winking
You can call TO mind picture such as this.
Hark! The cows are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
can hear them gently lowing through the
dells,
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled jingle
And the oft-repeated echo of the bells.
Strange how memory will fling her
Arms about some scenes we bring her,
And the tieeting years but make them stronger
grow;
Though wander far and sadly
From that dear old home how gladly
recall the cherished scenes OF long ago.
Hark! The cows are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
can hear them gently lowing through the
dells,
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes tine softly-tangled jingle
And the oft-repeated echo of the bells.
