This very sensible woman is loving

is a gentle mother to her little ones. but

She is never impatient with the baby when

Her husband is not wealthy and she does

A CoHboY and His Rival.

The love affairs of the cowboys would
make many interesting chapters. One that
is particularly greWsome is told of COW
boy named Flint While north he had
met and fallen in love with pretty wait
ress at the hotel, and before he returned to
the ranch had won from her promise to
marry him on his next trip. He went back
TO the ranch, bidding her fond goodby,
and through the next ten months saved
and dreamed, anxious for the meeting be-
tween himself and his sweetheart. He
could hardly wait for the slow progress of
the herd over the prairies and kept always
near to the leaders in order to get to the
town early.
In the meanwhile another lover had won
his mistress favor and had, too, been ac-
cepted. One afternoon in the early fall the
two went riding in carriage out south OF
the city. They were along the trail when,
as they came over bluff, they found them
selves near the head of large herd of cat
tie. Lover No. l was before them, and his
quick and longing eyes grasped the situa-
ton in an instant Unloosing the long
rawhide lariat which hung on his saddle
horn he dashed the spurs into his pony and
rode for the carriage. The girl shrieked as
she recognized him, and the new lover
dashed his team to escape. But to no pur-
pose.
The curling line of rope went reaching
out certainly and with almost lifelike in
telligence 1t settled around the neck of
the driver, and as the first lover had turned
his pony in another direction the man shot
out of the carriage and was dragged over
the sod helplessly and roughly. On and on
the avenger spurred his horse. the body
bobbing over the sod at the end of the lar
lat behind. Soon they were out of sight
behind knoll, and the rider was never
seen again by his companions.
The new lovers body was found a mile
away, dead, broken lariat still attached
to its neck. The murderer was afterward
heard of in the mines of Colorado, where
he was known as the most reckless and
hardened character that had been seen for
many day. His experience had caIloused
his heart.-Chicago Herald.

Treatment of Slight Wounds.

In the treatment of wounds we must at
tend TO these rules; First, stanch the bleed
ing; secondly, put the injured part under
the most favorable conditions for healing
10 occur; and, lastly, we must try to pre-
vent excessive infammatory action from
setting in, aud avoid blood poisoning.
Ii the cut is small one very little pres
sure will stop the bleeding, such as that of
piece OF rag tied moderately tight round
the part If larger piece of soft rag or
lint must be folded up, made into a pad,
pressed on the bleeding part and tied there.
In large wounds, and where blood is
coming out in small Jets with every beat
OF the heart, the fingers mus. be firmly
pressed on the part for some time, until q
clot forms in the vessel and blocks il up.
II very large blood vessel has been cut
and,there is danger of the person bleeding
TO death, the usual flow of blood 10 the
part must be nearly stopped. This is read
iIy done by firmly tying handkerchief or
scarf ro1nd the limb between the wound
and the heart.
If this does not arrest the bleeding. a
piece of stick must be put under the tight
bandage, and turned round aud round
until the handkerchief or scarf is made so
tight as 60 stop the loss of blood. The pa
tient must then be quietly conveyed TO the
nearest surgeon or hospital with this tight
appliance on the limb.
After stanching the bleeding. the next
condition Is to secure the most favorable
state for healing. This is done BY bring
ing the cut tissues together and keeping
them at rest-Halls Journal of Health.

A brother, who is taught by his sister to
be gentle and considerable of her feelings, is
not apt to forget his duty toward some one
elses sister when he shall take such to his
heart and home. This influence every sis
ter has in her power. She should have the
same regard for the neatness of her dress
at the breakfast table before her brother as
she has at dinner before the brother of
some other girl. She should be as kind
and careful in her conversation to him as
she is to the friend which he may bring
home with him. Young men very often
judge girl by her sisterly qualities.

when l asked what guided him in his
choice of wife. Tell me what kind of a

a man is doing it tOday.-Edward w. Box

Mrs. RusseIl,s Rnnnefs.

Mrs. Edwin Russell, the woman who
teaches people how to sit down and get up
correctly and is an expert as judge OF
female beauty, wears the most marvellous
and delightful little bennets ever seen.
They are usually of steel, copper, gold or
pearl passementerie; have no strings or
trimming, but fit the head just as did
those beautiful little caps worn by the
Florentine ladies. 1t has been jest among
Mrs. Russell's friends that very lately her
husband sent her new bonnet in letter!
A marvellous necklace in Mrs. Russell's
possession came from the land of the
Sphinx, and is thin chain of gold, pen
dent from which are square turquoises,
etched with gold. The turquoises are a
quiet rather than a glazing blue, and for
that reason are extremely becoming.-New

PRAISE OF DEATH.
Tbanatos thv praise 7 sinr

Thanatos, thy praise sing.
Thou immortal, youthful kingl
Glorious offerings l will bring;
For, men say, thou hast no shrine,
And find thou art divine
AS no other god; thy rage
Doth preserve the Golden Age.
What we blame is thy delay;
Cut the flowers ere they decay
Come, we would not derogate.
Age and nipping pains we hate;
Take US at our best estate;
While the head burns with the crown,
In the battle, strike US down!
AT the bride feast 90 not think
From thy summons we would shrink;
We would give our latest kiss
To life still warm with bliss.
Come, and take US to the train
OF dead maidens on the plain
Where white lilies have no stain;
Take us to the youths that thou
Lov'st to choose, of fervid brow,
Unto whom thy dreaded name
Hath been simply known as Fame;
With these unpolluted things
Be our endless revelings!

A Product of Civilization.

Hysteria is clearly a product of civiliza-
ton. Nothing that in the least resem bles
it has ever been discovered among heather
peoples.
1t is disease of the imagination and Is
developed with it.
The worst cases are those persons who
have highly strung nervous organizations,
who are emotional and impulsiVe without
being we'll balanced.
A well balanced mind is high sounding
phrase and seems to mean great deal, but
in reality it means only self control To
be the ruler of ones self is the key to the
situation, and the one and only cure for
hysteria.-Margaret Manton in New York

Some Hygienic Points.

There are few general principles to OBJ
serve in the hygiene of a house that it
might be well to impress upon young
mothers, although the lack of observance
which is seen is not due to want of knowl-
edge so much as want of care. Every
mother should see by personal supervision
that each member of the family becomes
habituated to sleep with the window more
or less open according to the season. If
there are stationary basins in the rooms,
or in the adjoining bathrooms, she should
enjoin the constant and free use of disin-
fectants. If any one is obliged to sleep in
a room with such basin a good plan is to
throw damp towel over it before going to
bed.
Overheating the house, too, with young
children isespecially to be guarded against.
as il is very apt to cause colds and Group
Watch the daily bath carefully; many can
not stand the daily plunge without i'll eff
feet who would be greatly benefited by
sponging and vigorous rubbing with a
coarse towel. For those who dread the
cold the following is a delightful way of
taking an exhilarating morning tub.
Stand in hot water deep enough to cover
the ankles, fill basin with cold water,
sponge off the body rapidly and rub Wig
orously, putting on warm hannels before
drying the feet In this way the most
delicate person will not experience any
chill The great point is the rapidity with
which this is done; the whole bath should
not exceed two minutes. We close these
suggestions by a quotation from still an
other eminent doctor who has written a
great deal on this very subject: Il cannot
overrate the necessity for plenty of fresh
air and sunshine and perfect cleanliness"
he says, both in the house and about the
person, and it is only when these primary
rules of hygiene are fully carried out that
we can hope TO keep the health which is
given US. New York Tribune.

A Bank Where Women Trade.

The Fifth Avenue bank carries over 5000
accounts on its books, more than 5000 of
which are in the names of women. No
bank in the country carries such a prepon-
derance of women's accounts. To accom-
modate this interesting line of customers
the bank has established a separate depart
ment for the ladies. The Forty-fourth
street side of the bank is devoted entirely
to them, and ladies can transact their bust
ness without coming into contact with the
customers of the other sex. A handsome
parlor for the use of ladies is also provided.

THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

1t was Homel that land where our mothers
hand
Her little ones curls caressed;
There we smiled and wept, and as sweetly
slept
AS baby birds in their nest.
Now sigh ascends for the dear old friends;
We can never hope to know
Any hearts so kind as those left behind
In the Land OF Long Agol
Then what bright romance was that first glad
glance
Into Loves enchanting book;
And what thrilling bliss, when the FIRST fond
kiss
From our darling's lips we took.
We may WOO and wed; but till life hath fed
We shall yearn and sigh also.
For the angel fair whom We worshipeh there,
In the Land of Long Ago
Though our dreams are gone, yet we st1n plod
on
A-weary with pilgrimage;
Let Us do the right and with evil fight,
Till we reach Lies resting stage
Then shall friends who weep DER our dream
less sleep
In the church yard lay Us low;
When the night is DER we may wake Opcs
more
In the Land of Long Ago.

Mr.. Preston, in a letter to DR.. Hertz,
the famous discoverer of electrical
waves, points out that If the lines OF
force remain stationary while the mag
net rotates, the magnet, being con-
ductor rotating in the field of its own
lines, will become electrified and show
positive electricity at one end and mega
tive at the other. If, on the other hand,
the lines move with the magnet, no such
effect will take place. DR.. Hertz admits
the force Of this reasoning.
