Milk as a DRESSING for wounds.

Milk has been found to possess remark
able healing qualities if applied to wounds
in an early stage, and excellent results have
been obtained by its use in the dressing of
burns. Congresses are soaked in milk and
laid on the burn, to be removed night and
morning. An extensive burn has in this
way been reduced in three days to one
quarter of its original size. Another burn,
which had been treated tor eight days with
olive oil and oxide of zine, healed rapidly

She would not paint q blissful picture

fashion that Olive forgot her dissatis-

its origin more to Michael himself than

spoke Of the right way of living ones

with her natural refinement should
have taken rough Tom Challock was a
mystery indeed; and yet such mysteries
are found everywhere. Tom was a
widower with two daughters of his
own. and the girls seemed to take more
kindly to Olive than he did For in his
coarse way he let her see that he did
not want her under his roof, and she
secretly longed to find a shelter else
where. BY and by, perhaps sooner
than she dared TO expect Michael
would have made a home for his
promised wife; but, meanwhile, the
waiting was as hard as Tom Challock
could make il. And already Lucy

The Operation of Sailing Il Much More

The sailing Of the cod is done in the
hold. Each banker" brings from
France its cargo Of salt, an ingredient
which. it is needless to say. plays a cap
ital role in the fishing campaign. The
sailing is one of the most important
and delicate operations. If there is not
enough salt on the fish. it will not keep;
if there is too much. the fish is black
and moist. A good salter Is just as val
liable to the owner of a banker" as q
good captain.
Four men are generally employed to
salt the fish in the hold. One, with a
sort of curved trident, shOvels down the
salt to the level of the piles OF fish al
ready made; the other receives h fish
that are thrown down from the deck.
and passes them to the piler, who
places them with minute care in close

shovel in his hand. spreads salt over the

these processes. This work has to be
done quickly and we'll. AS o as the
fish has been washed it ought not to
remain on deck, but be slowed away as
quickly as possible. Furthermore. if

without the edges touching. and if the

DRAW POKER IN MONTANA.

1t was in q gambling saloon in Butte.
The tenderfoot had taken to the a
path and announced his determination
of relieving a few Of the miners of what
spare change they happened to have
about them. Without much trouble he
found a victim who was willing to try a
hand or two al poker. Luck favored
the stra nger from the start and he won
steadily. Finally he drew foul aces,
and after the stakes had been run up to-
a comfortable figure he magnanimously
refused to bet further.

claimed, land 1 don't al to end the

As he spoke he jerked his thumb to-

The game proceeded, but it was
plainly evident that the unsophisticated
young tiger hunter had something on
his mind. Within five minutes he

smiles, and he began betting once more

In fact he staked his last dollar.
Just at this ju%ncture the barkeeper
stopped in the midst of the connection

hung up another card behind the bar

and bottles.

He pointed directly over the head of
the busy barkeeper. The tenderfoot
read his doom in the handwriting on the
wall. The bit of pasteboard bore this
legend:

One or two slight tendrils were outlined

Their Food.
During the summer of 1889 there were
in one Of the aquaria of the United
States Fish Commission at Woods Holl,
Mass, three sand sharks. each about
three feet long. They became very
tame. taking chunks of fish. or whole
fish of convenient size. either alive or
dead, from the hand. just as a dog will;
but one had to be careful of ones nm
gers. as it mattered not to the sharks
whether they took fish or flesh. There
was never, to the writer's knowledge, a
tendency on the part of the these fish
to turn on the back to take food. nor
could one imagine a necessity for So
doing under the circumstances.
In a large walled tidal pool outside
however. there were several Large
sharks, about six feet in length. These
were fed with fish taken from q pound
net close by. When the fish were
thrown in the sharks quickly gorged
themselves with the deal and with tae
injured ones which could not swim well:
but they did not seem expert at catch
ing the active ones. with which the
pool was well stocked. They would dart

The writer took much interest in
