HARVESTING OUR WAT
 ERFALLB.

Steam power today is almost doing the worlds work. Water power is doing but a small part. In the rapid strides that electricity has made and is making It is but question of a short time, months rather than years, when the magnifcently grand water falls of the world will be used, as powers to manufacture the subtitle fluid which will be transmitted hun dreds of miles on slender aluminium wires to the points where such power can be utilized in all of the various industries of the age. The great falls of Niagara are now being tun- neled for this purpose. Already moves are on foot on the Pacific Coast to harness up the Bridal Veil falls in Yosemite Valley and other rapid howing,0r falling waters for the purpose of manufacturing electricity to be used anywhere such power is needed.

The SENTINEL is in receipt of a letter from gentleman in Evans vile, Indiana, Saying that he had been informed through printed cir cular from Germany that 6 relative of his, by the name of Frederick William Grumbkow had died near Yuma or Pusrte Isabel, leaving an estate valued at S9,000,000, without will, and asking if this was true. The whole thing is probably fraud, circular and sender, trying to inveigle some one into sending it or him a little money.

An Experiment..

A little story Is afloat about what some
call the freak of a wealthy New York wom-
an, and some dignity it by more respect
full name 1t appears that, either through
liking for time honored German custom,
or of her own wit and invention, It has oc-
CURED to this society leader to put her
daughter, who has just left fashionable
boarding school, in position TO learn GER
tain domestic accomplishments respected
in tradition, such as cooking and mending.
For this purpose she has installed her In
the house of an old friend, dear to her since
her own school days, but whose husband il
the counterpart in real life of the country
clergyman in fiction, possessed Of a few
dollars and many children.
No servant is kept in this establishment,
and the wish Of the society woman is that
for the space Of a year her daughter shall
be her old friends help, using the word
with the honorable Specification it former
iy had in New England. What will be the
issue Of this experiment is a question a
number Of other girls are asking. 1t Is
not in any way likely to set a fashion, and
yet it might, for the story as told includes
several sentences about the jewelry and
travel brides offered to sugar coat the
pill Of twelve months of busting, market
ing and bread making to the taste of the
young woman.-New York Recorder.

New born babes in particular are the
helpless victims of an ignorance which
has crystallized into divers "ofd wives
notions" The little ones skin is noticed
to be of yellowish color; he has the
Jaundice, and must be dosed Immediately
and literally with saffron tea The era
tuitous assumption is made that he has
come into the world hungry, and his deli
cate little stomach is filled up with mo-
lasses and water, sweetened milk, etc,
while the food that was naturally intended
Tor him is perhaps drawn off with breast
pump and thrown away
Now it should always be remem bered
that new born babe is in strict physio.
logical condition. He needs no food other
than that which nature has provided. His
skin is always OF different color from
that which it will assume later on. Dos
Ing new born infant is inexcusable. 1t
has killed thousands. The little bag which
some oldtime nurses used to carry about
with them, full of all kinds of herbs, oils
and other notions, Is an abominatioa. I'm
happily, it is not yet wholly obsolete. 1t
will be well for humanity when we learn
that the less nature Is interfered with the
better.
A good principle in dealing with all
classes Of patients until the doctor comes
Is embodied in the old saying, "When in
doubt what to do, don't go and do itn-

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
else's sister when he shall take such TO his
heart and home. This influence every sis

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

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
to occur; and, lastly, we must try to pre-
vent excessive infammatory action from
setting in, and avoid blood poisoning.
II the cut is a small one very little pres
sure will stop the bleeding such as that Of
a piece of rag tied moderately tight round
the part. If larger piece Of soft rag or
lint must be folded up, made into 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 must be firmly
pressed on the part for some time, until a
clot forms In the vessel and blocks IL up.
II a very large blood vessel has been cut
and there is danger OF the person bleeding
to death, the usual flow Of blood to the
part must be nearly stopped. This is read
lily done by firmly tying handkerchief or
scarf round the limb between the wound
and the heart.
II 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 80
tight as to 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 IL to secure the most favorable
state for healing. This is done by bring
ing the cut tissues together and keeping
them at rest-Hall's journal Of Health.

One Merry Little Woman.

There is in this city merry little woman
who never is Obliged TO ask twice when she
wants anything. She isn't one Of the meek
women who never dare to have an original
opinion, or to indorse one unless husband
has first Endorsed It, She says what she
thinks, but even If it is criticism it Is
given with such good nature that no one
can take offense. Very often things do not
20 to suit her, but she has the good sense
TO realize that scolding or complaining or
whining win not help matters.
IL she Is too angry to laugh she keeps
still until she can control herself. IL very
angry she shuts herself up in her room
alone for few moments. She says that
an angry woman seems to her to be 80 re-
pulsiye an object that she cannot bear to
have those whom she loves best see her In
any such character. She never seems to
command, and her husband imagines that
he always has his own way. She never
disputes the point, yet they who know her
best know that there are few questions that
are not settled to her entire satisfaction.
She will appear young when the scolding
women of her age are considered old, and
she will always have an influence for good
where they have no influence at all

upon the care taken Of them by the par

between cleanliness and purity Gods

washings In clean water. The robes OF the

clean by bathing In pure water. That its

from which IL eats and the bed In which 1t

to be twin brothers. Allen West.

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 knowi-
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 moro
or less open according to the season. II
there are stationary basins in the room~,
or In the adjoining bathrooms, she should
enjoin the constant and free use of disin-
fectants. II any one is obliged TO sleep in
a room with such basin good plan is to
throw damp towel over it before going TO
bed.
OverheatiSg the house, too, with young
children isespecially TO be guarded against,
as it 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 delightful way Of
taking an celebrating 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 flannels 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 quotation from still an.
other eminent doctor who has written a
great deal on this very subject: "f cannot
overrate the snecessity 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.

Hysteria is clearly product OF oiviliza-
ton. Nothing that in the least resem bles
1t has ever been discovered among heather
peoples.
1t Is a disease Of the Imagination and is
developed with 1t.
The worst cases are those persons who
have highly strung nervous organizations,
who are emotional and impulsive without
being well balanced.
A well balanced mind is a high sounding
phrase and seems to mean a great deal, but
In reality 1t means only self control To
be the ruler Of ones self is the key to the
situation, and the one and only cure for

Wa2iace Sons, of Ansonia, have just completed the largest spring made from aluminium bronze ever manufactured in America. This spring is 12 inches wide, eighty feet long and, and thirty-two one- hundredths of an inch in thickness. This spring is one of eight to be used in 8 new method of street car propulsion of which s. H. Shaw, of Kansas, is the inventor, and who is interested in company form ed for the manufacture of the same. A trial of this power applied to street car will soon be made at Richmond, Va, up- on the lines of the street railway between that place and Manchester. The trial of the model, which weighed 1000 pounds, and carried ten persons, was 8 complete success. The power to be developed by the eight springs is equal to sixteen horse power and will propel car a distance of four miles.
