How Animals Bear Pain.

One of the pathetic things connecte q
with this life is the manner in which the
animal kingdom endures suffering, says
the Florida Times. Uniol. Take horses,
for instance, in battle, and after the
first shock Of wound they make no
sound. They bear the pain with mute,
wondering endurance, and if you hear a
wild groau from the battlefield it comes
from their loneliness, their loss of human
compauionship which seems absolutely
indispensable to the comfort OF domsStI-
Gated animals.
The dog will carry a broken leg for
days wistfully. but unconplainingly. The
cat. stricken with club or stone OF
caught in some trap from which it
pnaws its way to freedom, crawls to some
secret place aud bears in silence pain
which We could not endure. Sheep and
other cattle meet the thrust OF the
butchers knife without sound, aud
even common poultry endure intense
agony without complaint.
The dove, shot unto death, flies tc
some far of bough, and and as 1T dies
the silence is unbroken save by the pat
ter on the leaves of its own life blood.
The wounded deer speeds to some thick
brake, aud in pitiful submission waits
for death. The eagle, struck in mid
air, fights to the last against the fatal
summons. There is no moan or sound
of pain, and the defiant LOOK never fades
from its eyes until the lids close over
them never to uncover again.

Checking SIiQht Hemsrrhaaes.

When minute bleeding points, suos as
sometimes occur upon the face after the
use of the razor, are neither checked
spontaneously nor by the usual means,
drop of tincture of iron, applied on
pledget of cotton or the end of a match,
will at once put an end to tie bleeding.
Sometimes obstinate and even alarming
hemorrhnge follows the extraction OF
tooth. In such case a bit of cotton
saturated with alum solution or sprinkled
with alum powder and applied to the
cavity will usually have the desired
effect, but should these means fail to
afford relief a pledget of cotton satu-
rated with tincture of iron pressed into
the cavity will promptly staunch the
flow, unless the case be an exceptional
one. In case of the bursting Of a vari-
cose vein, the ensuing hemorrnage may
be at once checked by pressing finger
upon the bleeding part and laying the
person down fiat, either on the ground
or on a bed. A pad is then applied over
the injured part and bound down tightly
with a roller bandage. Bleeding from
the nose is a common, though seldom
serious, form of hemorrhage. 1t is often
checked spontaneously by such simple
means as bathing the face aud nasal
cavities with cold water. Sometimes,
however, when more persistent, some
styptic application may be needed. Alum
water or solution of tannic acid may
be snuffed up the nose from the palm of
the hand, or some powdered styptic may
be blown into the nasal cavities by means
Of quill, roll of paper or other tube.
But the most unique, simple and efficient
way t0 check an obstinate nasal hemor-
rhage is the old-fishionet one OF press
ing an ordinary clothespin firmly over
the cartilaginous portions Of the nose
from above downward. .-Courier-Jour

Costume Of the Italian Fisherman

In costume the Italian fisherman has
no resemblance to his inland brother.
He wears a sort of Greek-like tunic,
sleeveless and reaching barely to the
knees. This is brought closely to hi,
body with a broad leather belt, in the
inside of which he carries his rosary, his
scapular or perhaps so ne holy relic for
protection at sea. Rude sandals of tough
fish or goat skin are bound to his feet
with tough thongs that are crossed
arcunl the leg to the knee. His hair
and beard are seldom cut or trimmed. 1t
often has the wave OF sculptured gods
and as he rarely wear; any head cover
ing save perhaps a cotton kerchief bound
around his head with the ends floating
in his hair, which is sometimes as blonde
as a Scandinagian's, his whole aspect ir.
resistibly suggests primitive Greek on
the classic loneliness of his own loved
shores. New Orleans Picayunc.

SEND OUT THE SUNLIGHT


Send out the sunlight, the sunlight Of cheer,
Shine on earth's sadness till ills disappear
Souls are in waiting this message to hear.
Send out the sunlight in letter and word;
Speak it aud think it till hearts are ali
stirred
Hearts that are hungry for prayers still un-
heart.
Send out the sunlight each hour and each
day.
Crown all the years with its luminous ray;
Nourish the seeds that are sown on the way.
Send out the sunlight it's needed on earth,
Send it afar in scintillant mirth,
Better than gold in its wealth-yiving worth
Send out the sunlight on rich and on poor
Silks sit in sorrow, and tatters endure
All need the sunlight to strengthen and cure.
Send out the sunlight that speaks in a smile,
Often it shortens the long, weary mile,
Often the burdens seem light for a while.
Send out the sunlight-the spirits real gold!
Give of it freely-this gift that's uusold
Shower it down on the young and the Old
Send out the sunlight as free as the air
Blessings will follow, with none to compare,
Blessings of pleace that will rise from de-
spairl
Send out the sunlight, you have it in you
Clouds may obscure it just now from your
view,
Pray for its presence Your prayer will
come true.

the grounds. They learned their art In
Italy, where the demand for cheap sculp-
ture is large and the supply is large.
And as sculp.ors in Worlds Fair work,
they earn as much as IS or $40 day-a
rate of wages considerably surprising the
profits to be derived from image making
in their native country profession
which is somewhat over-crowded, and q
market wherein the prices for the work
are quite low.
The staff modelers' work is Of low
order of sculpture, but the results are
sometimes really artistic. They are as
sisted by original models or drawings,
and in this combination are enabled to
make bass-reliefs and frlezes that will
contribute in no small way to the
beauties Of the buildings. The results
of this work will not end with the
Worlds Fair, it is thought. There is no
reason why the effects should not extend
further, and in some degree cause a
change in building methods. .-Harper''

Making Wigs.
nal.

The most curious thing about wigs is
the lace made of human hair, which is
used as basis for certain parts OF the
finer sort of wigs. This lace is made on
cushion By hand and is very expensive.
The material employed in its manufac-
ture is always white hair TIE hairs
composing the wig are crocheted into
the lace, so as to be knotted in the
meshes and held secure. In the case of
"toupee," which is intended to cover
bald spot on the head, being fastened
with bits of wax to the scalp, the entire
groundwork of the article is composed
of this lace; in full wig there is only u
strip of it to cover the parting. 1t has
the advantage over any other kind Of
lace that it does not show when stretched
over the skin of the scalp, aud it never
becomes discolored. Formerly the hair
for wigs was mostly imported from
Europe ready sorted into colors and
lengths, but at present nearly al Of it
comes over in a crude state. Washing

Flat Feet OF lndians.

The Indian who is persuaded to veal
shoes or boots is the easiest man to fiji
Imaginable This is because nearly every
Indian is fat-footed, to use favorite
expression OF athletic circles. Hence in
fitting semi-civilized re iskin, all that
is necessary is to find a shoe that will go
on fairly easy, whereas with white man
it is necessary to take into consideration
the expansion caused when he presses
down his foot and raises either heel or
toe. The peculiar gait of the Indian is
the result of the way he puts his foot
down perfectly fat and lifts it up again
all at once, as it were. An Indian can
run very rapidly, but he never runs
gracefully, because he never acquires the
spring which the athlete obtains by keep
ing his heels off the ground and running
on his toes.
