The Cobweb as n Styptic.


When Bottom was translated" and
introduced to the attendants of Titania
he endeavored TO ingratiate himself with
Good Master Cobweb by saying, when
l cut my finger l will make bold with
YOU" To arrest bleeding the applica-
ton of cobweb to the wound has long
been "a rural custom. Experience has
shown that the gossamer of which the
web is composed forms a very useful
styptic, but very fatal objection to it's
use arises from the fact that as an APP
plication to an open wound it can never
be guaranteed as surgically clean, form
ing as it does net for insects and at
the same time for the germs of many an
infectious disease.
Evidence of this was produced before
the Liverpool coroner recently touching
the death of Martha Roberts, who, fol-
lowing the timehonored custom, had
applied cobweb to her wounded hand
to stop the bleeding. Blood poisoning
followed upon its application, and this
terminated, unhappily, in fatal issue.
1t is not solitary case. The principles
of ascepticism have not yet become part
of the intellectual equipment of the
people, neither have its lessons succeed
ed in overcoming ejudice.-London

Leaves of trees were used for writing
purposes very early by the Egyptians,
and probably by the Greeks. The Hin
docs continued the use of this material
until within a few centuries. Even at
the present time books of leaves are not
uncommon in the south of India and the
island of Ceylon. The leaves of some
Asiatic trees, from their size and smooth
ness. are admirably adapted for books.
If we may judge from the name "leaf''
being still applied to the paper of books,
we should imagine these leaves to have
been formerly the principal material in
use.-New York World.

cast their vote for local option, this
county would still keep rid of the open

Once a fowler. young and artless,
To the quiet greenwood came;
Full Of skill was he and heartless
In pursuit OF feathered game;
And betimes he CHANGED To see
Eros perching In tree.
"What strange bird Is that, / wonderf"
Thought the youth and spread his snares
Eros, chuckling at the blunder,
Gayly scampered here and there.
DO his best, the simple clod
Could not snare the agile god.
Blubbering, TO his aged master
Went the fowler In dismay,
And confided his disaster
With that curious bird that day;
"Master, hast thou ever heard
OF so Ill disposed bird?'
"Heard of him? Aha. most truly"
Quoth the master with a smile
sand thou, too, shall know him duly.
Thou art young. but bide awhile;
And old Eros will not fly
From thy presence by and by.
"For when thou art somewhat older
That same Eros thou didst see,
More familiar grown and holder,
Shall become acquaint with thee;
And when Eros comes thy way,
Mark my word he comes to stay"
