Nature of the New Small-Bore Rifle
Wounds.

Some interesting experiments have
been made by London surgeons, with
view of ascertaining tie probable
character of the wounds which will BE
inflicted by the new smal-bore rifles
which have been adopted in European
armies. The dead human bodies were
arranged so as to represent a company,
with intervals, in fighting formation,
and the bullets were finally received in
bags of sawdust, where. at the short
range. they were found nnaltered in
shape When firing at range of
about 200 yards the bullets were found
to pass completely through from four
to five ranks ; at 400 yards, from three
to fonr ranks, and at ranges between
800 to 1920 yards, from two to three
rauks Of q company in fighting forma-
ton, even in cases where the bullet
had encountered large bones. In but
rare cases was a bullet found to have
lodged. and the general results prove
conclusively that the new weapons
cause greater penetration and less
laceration than did those formerly in
use; so that, in f.ct. the diminution in
bore rendered necessary on tactical
grounds, and especially the introduction
of the covered" bullet, is considered
direct step in the cause Of humanity.
Thus, in future wars, more rifle wounds
will probably be inflicted, but the pro-
portion of clean, smooth wounds will be
larger and their treatment more sue
cessful.

Open Church Doors.
A MEXICAN CISTOM.


One class Of Mexican buildings there
i whereof, save only at night, the
doors never are closed the churches.
From dawn until darkness comes again
the church doors stand open, and who
ever will may enter to TO seek solace IN
prayer. Though less than 10 the period
preceding the passage of the Laws of
Retorm-which swept away at single
blow the priestly rule that undermined
the civil power-the Church is an act
i've part of Mexican daily lite. Going
to church is not an office fixed for a
small part Of a single day in the week
and celebrated only in garments of
price every day and all day long there
is constant flow and ebb Of humanity
through the friendly open doors to and
from the friendly shelter from the sor-
rows ofthe world
In the very early morning working
people-cdrgadores and dguadores, and
such like humble folk-surrender few

may begin their day with PRAYER "A

their way home from market, bringing
their market baskets with them, and
usually having in their wake q little

the possibility that in these early de
votions he also has share; at eight

To Cool a Bedroom.

If the sleeping-room is warm, it may
be cooled for time by wringing large
pieces of cotton out of water and hang
ing them before the open windows,
says the The Ladies' Home journal.
Leave the door open, and as the air
comes through the wet Gotten it will be
cooled. This is good device for
cooling a sick-room, the clothes can
then be wet again and again. Keep
the gas turned low during the process
Of undressing, and sleep without a
light, unless it is tiny night-lamp.
