A FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER.
From Chambers, Journal.

There had been a fog in the early morn
ing, but the sun, gathering strength,
burst suddenly from behind black and
indigo cloud and streaked the sea with a
copperish hue. Far down the beach were
two men and boat. They were stalwart
men, and the eldest was busy shaking
from the meshes of a draw-net entangled
tufts of maroon and brown seaweed.
''Poor draughts, Shelah, a" said the net
shaker, looking philosophically into the
basket that held the fish.
''Poor enough, Master Reeks. Is it
home now?"
Gay, lad home it is. Get in the boat,
Shelah."
The young man jumped into the boat
and took the oars the other showed of,
and when he was kneedeep in the salt
water clambered in after him.
'EShelah,' - said Reeks, speaking of a
studded, "when are you going to marry
my Jen"
There came a little extra color into She
lah's smooth tanned cheeks. l don't
know, MASTER" he said.
"Ah, "said Reeks. with a sigh, II wish

for a dainty craft like my Jen. She

"What makes you say that?" asked
Shelah, resting on his oars.

sary to entirely free the upper part OF
the body from clothing, especially the
collar, necktie, suspenders, and, in case
of q woman, the corset, waist and gir-

also be cut and loosened.

The body is then to be placed OH
table or any fiat surface at hand, while
cushion or rolled coat is placed under
the middle Of the back to raise it. The
legs should be bent at the knees so as
to relax the skin over the abdomen.
After this is done the Samaritan places
his hands on both sides Of the patients
abdomen, and with firm, hard press
ure slowly moves his hand upward.
This is repeated until the strength Of
the motion relaxes the air confined in
the lungs and it is heard forcing it's
way through the different respiratory
organs. 1t requires IL certain amount
of practice to determine the exact
strength Of pressure desirable to use
IN this treatment, for if too great q
power is exerted it is liable to cause
some injury to the delicate internal
organization of the human body ,#
IL respiration fails to respond to this
treatment then the services Of an assist
ant must be employed, and while the
pressure upon the abdomen is con-
tlnued the assistant may place his hands
on both sides Of the chest, below the
snort ribs, and exert a steady pressure
IN order to help forcing the air frcEl
the lungs The first natural breathing
produced by these manipulations is an
noumced by 4 deep sigh from the pi,-
tlent and flushing Of the face. If the
race becomes again pale the Samaritans
must renew their efforts with redoubled
force. 1t sometimes happens that reg.

ing back of the victims tongue into the
roof of the mouth In such q case the
Samaritan will find it necessary to draw
the tongue back into it's normal place.
and hold it protruding slightly from
the mouth while his assistant is work
ing on the body.
IN case these methods fail in the de-
sired result the arms should be re-
peatedly lifted above the head and
brought down to the sides again; this
must be done energetically and contin-
uously to have effect.
Use of :Stlmulants.
Unless the patient is so crushed or
mutilated as to be absolutely dead,
Prof. Won Esmarch's rules require the
Samaritan to work over body in the
manner described for two hours before
giving the patient up as beyond re-
covery. AS soon as consciousness re-
turns the Samaritan gives the patient
strengthening draught of either black
coffee, brandy or other stimulant. When
q person is injured but not unconscious,
this stimulant should be given before

According to the rules laid down by
Prof. Won Esmarch and adopted by the
Berlin and Vienna Samaritan societies

should be able to move and otherwise

When three or four men are available

The first act Of the Samaritans when
called to attend an injured person is to
see that the patient is laid perfectly flat
upon his back and that the bleeding is
stopped. Then one man stationing him
self on the right and the other one on
the left of the prostrate figure, the one
on the right side passes his right arm
beneath the back of the, patient the
man On the left passing his left arm in
the same manner. After that each man
places his disengaged hand under the
upper leg Of the patient, about midway
between the knee and the thigh. The
third and fourth Samaritans meanwhile
gather the patients arms in his lap and
take in their hands the patients head or
limbs, be they wounded or not Then
the first two Samaritans grasp each
others hands beneath the patient and
raise the body at a given signal, acting
in perfect unison.

1T is all very lovely to become en-

JOY those blissful moments that come
only once in Il lifetime" remarked an
elderly lady to Il writer for the Louis
vile Post, but when the young fiance
has to go through the ordeal Of meet
ing her intended husbands parents.
then, indeed, is a trying moment that
very few girls pass through without
remembering very vividly. The bride
tO-be may have been known to the fam,
lily for years, and yet when the son an
nounces to his parents that she is the
girl of his choice and the one whom he
wishes to make his wife, she at once
becomes in a certain degree a differ
rent creature and is criticised accord
ingly. No son ever yet married 4
woman whom his father thought quite
good enough for him, though the out.
side world may think the contrary.
The girl is always looked upon by the
mother as an interloper who has come
between her and her sons affections.
When. therefore, the young girl is
brought in contact with her fiance's
parents, knowing the innate antagonism
that reigns against her, she is seldom,
if ever, at her best, and is more apt to
court disfavor than supplementary COM
lnent from his relatives, simply from
the fact that she is half scared to death.
In my experience I have noticed that
much of the trouble between a mother
in-law and her sons wife has been due
to jealousy, and if at the very beginning
these two could form compact Of mu-
tual admiration for the son and hus-
band and mutual forbearance with
each other there would be fewey family

tributing to the patients discomfort.
When Great Disasters Occur.
In case OF a grear catastrophe, where
number Of injured, persons demand
looking after, two men, or even a single
man, II he is strong enough, may per-
form the preliminary work, in similar
manner as above described. In a case
of asphyxiation, where no injured limbs
need to be taken into consideration, the
Samaritan must never wait for the as
sistance from other volunteers, but re-
move the body as quickly as possible
and in the best practicable manner
from the scene of the disaster. If two
volunteers are on hand one should grasp
the body firmly around the waist, hay
ing the head, shoulders and back
against his own breast, while the Sec
ond man takes both legs of the victim,
and, carrying them in his arms next to
his own body, moves briskly on. If the
wounded person retains the power to do
so he can greatly aid the rescuers by
placing his arms around their necks
while they carry him between them.
The patient should under no circl1ln-
stances be carried further than is absc-
lutely necessary to take him out Of
danger, or else to a place where he
may be transferred to an ambulance.
Arrived there the body should be laid
fiat on a table, door, mattress or blan-
ket, permitting to be taken up at it's
ends and sides.

the big palaces along the avenues.
In the matter Of dress the prince is
Il sort of fashion plate that the young
men Of the town delight to copy, and
it is in connection with his very faith

that this rather amusing story is told:
Attircd in one of the very long frock

the other day at Il very swell Michigan

which is IL young lady, who, while she
more than once has been reported en-
gagged to be married within the last
year, still lends hope to her host of
adorcrs by refraining from an actual
dip into the matrimonial sea.
The prince entered and was warmly
welcomed by the young lady and her
mamma. The latter, after a minute or
two, asked cordially: "My dear prince,
won't you take off your coat?''
Much too we'll bred to express sur
prise, the prince merely declined the
invitation, and the conversation pro

Presently the elder lady, oblivious OF

must be frightfully warm with that
heavy coat on: Pray remove it.; you
will be so much more comfortable

A CURE FOR SUNBURN.

% -
Persons with Light Complexion
Will Find it Effective.
One of the annoyances of having a
light complexion is that if you are fond
Of any outdoor sport you are sure to be
sunburned. One or two good doses of
sunburn will spoil half the pleasure of Il
summer. Many persons are so sensi-
tive to this atfliction that they have
been obliged to give up yachting, fish
ing, swimming and every other amusc-
ment which would take them on the
water.
: People who have a dark or olive
complexion do not understand what
sunbuln> means They only get tanned
the longer they are exposed to the rays
of the sun, and scott at people who
complain of s,lnburn: which they treat
as an imaginary ailment. One OF their
favorite recommendations is to say:"Get
well burned at the beginning Of the
summer and it will not trouble you
again." This is the purest deluslon' for
the new skin which comes with the
first burn is more sensitive than that
which it replaced, and the second burn
is likely to be worse than the first,
swelling up the hands and face and des-
troying sleep and comfort for three
OF four days.
Then again thousand substances
are recommended as ''cures for sun
burn These are usually ointments
and salves. They allay some Of the
pain of a sunburn, but do not prevent
it. This summer. however, a Dreven-
tive Of srnburn has been discovered.
1t is nothing more or less than the or
dinary bismuth powder sold by every
druggist. If you have Il light complex
ion and have suffered from suuburn in
previous years get 10 cents worth of
bismuth powder and apply this to the
hands and face before you go out on the
water. Rub it we'll into the skin any
wash it off after the sun goes down.

EI1cs and the Mystery Of Whence
They Come in the Early Sum-
mer.
The question Of where flies come
from is asked many times during the
summer, says the Boston Herald. 1t is
always a mystery to the woman who
mas her house well screened how even
one OF the little pests can get in. The
parents OF good many Of them were

IN the autumn vigilance was relaxed.

guarded. With the instinct with which
nature has provided them they; crept
into the warm house, into cracks, not
perceptible, and there they hibernated.
There, too, they lay their eggs, 1T to
each fly thus looking out for the propa-
cation of the race; and so, when the
first warm days come, they surprise us
by buZzing away On the windows or
around the table. In the meantime the
eggs are Matching, and by ''fy time"
1hey come forth in swarms. Some
times in the dead Of winter a fly will
appear, beguiled from his resting place
by the deceptive warmth Of the fur
nac1heated house. He seems a harbin-
ger of spring, and Eerhaps one may be
inclined to pet it a bit. Don't do it. Kill
it and thus put an end to prospective
future generation Of flies. They are
natural scayengers. Their purpose in
life is to consume various substances
which are thrown off from the human
body, by articles of food and by almost
every animal and vegetable production

stances are given out in such small
quantities they are imperceptible to
common observers and not removable.

it is merely taking care of the particles

good while it annoys. AS common fly

Controlling the Supply of Curren,.

When small electric currents are
wanted it has been customary to OBJ
tain them from a special source. For
instance, to operate q fan-mOtor, \
sewing machine, an electro-medical ap-
paratus, or any other device of like ma
ture, the primary battery or storage bat
terry has usually been called into requi-
sition. Such batteries serve their pur-
pose well enough, but the trouble Of
keeping them in order is often very irk-
some, and prevent t heir coming into
general use. When, however, unlimited
current can be obtained by the turning
on of switch, and controlled as alb
solutely as in the supply of gas in our
houses, the way is paved for the ap-
p1cation Of electricity to many purposes
without trouble or anxiety. "A simple
device has been brought out, called
the current adapter,'' which enables
this absolute control to be had. It
works quickly and accurately, and en-
ables the street currents to be used in
the smallest units, in other words that
the operator may unscrew one Of the
lncandescent lamps land make the con
nect1On between the current adapter
and the house supply, and at the same
time be able to turn ON just as small
a quantity of current as he may require
for any given purpose. This device thus
enables the incandescent light current
to be used for the operation Of electro
medical apparatnses, electric motors,
fans, dental and sewing machines, fara-
die induction coils, electric bells, small
lamps, Ia etc. BY the employment Of the
adapter in connection with special

Aside from the superintendent of the
stations the force consists entirely Of
volunteers, men whose heart is in the
work and who find satisfaction in re-
lieving suffering humanity. An excep-
ton, however, to many volunteer organ
izations, this one is so thoroughly and
admirably under control that the par

required. The different watches, those
for day and night duty respectively,
relieve each other with the greatest
prompitude and willingness.
Objects OF the Conrress.
The object for which the congress-
just concluding it's labors was called
was to hear reports from the various
branches OF the society established in
the cities and continental countries, con-
slider, suggestions for advancement and
for the perfection of the service from
those whose experience in direct con-
tact with the needs Of the public quail
fed them to speak, exchange views on
the practicability of certain new sani-
. tary or medical appliances and devise
ways and means to cope with the direct
and indirect opposition met with in GER
tain labor centers, especially in the
mining districts, where it was found
that only too often an anarchistic spirit
predominates, which, for selfish motives
that seemed hardly credible as existing
toward one writing in the agony of a
painful wound the labors OF the society
have been interfered with or in some
cases entirley frustrated.

aid.
Basis Of the System.
The underlying theory, upon which
Pref. Won Esmarch has built the sys-
tenn which he has exposed to the criti-
cism of the public at this congress,
is that the vitality of the patient should
under no circumstances be impaired or
exhausted and that the natural strength
existing in the person at the moment of
the accident should be kept at it's nor
NAL condition, as far rs permissible
under adverse circumstances, and thus
made to act as one of the elements
in recovery. The professor acts upon
the conviction that an accident, how
ever severe it may be and whatsoever
may be it's final outcome, does not at
the instant rob the injured of all his
strength; he argues that it is the suf-
fering consequent upon the accident
that weakens and that this suffering is
fastened and perpetuated in great
measure by delay in giving to the in
jured parts the attention and relief
they require.
This argument led the professor inev-
itably to the position that ,ne quicker
relief is forthcoming the longer will the
strength remain with which to battle
against the depressing tendency of the
wound or injury, and to extend this
aid and to educate the people up to the
knowledge of extending this aid is the
preliminary step in the groundwork of
his system. -

are connected by wire with each other
and with the residences Of competent
physicians, some of whom are constant
