WATER TREATMENT FOR HoRs.,.

Our best surgeons now rcsari watei
as an important auxiliary in treating
wounds. Lavements, pourings, wet
congresses, etc., are used for the hum IN
subject; and water answers equally as
well for animals. Simple cut wounds,
when clcansed and dressed with water,
usually heal without suppuration, es-
'pecially if the blood be in q hesithy
state. There being tendency in all
wounds to fever and Inflammation,

generally be held together with adhesive
ftraps and the water application put
over It. The most dangerous wounds,
bear some vital part, are freque ,tiy
healed with the aid OF water to keep

joyed extraordinary privileges Often
he gave himself the airs of the master,
while the master found it desirable to
obey, more or less meekly. Beau'
marchais, 4 famous French author,
had servant, Antoine by name, who
had been long IN his service, and
against whose tyranny he seldom ven.
tured to rebel. One evening in his
old age the great man was engaged IN
a game of chess, when Antoine en-.
tered and said, somewhat sharply but
respectfully:
"Monsieur, it is 10 o'clock"
"Very we'll. Antoine" the master
answered; "but let me finish this
game"
If you don't come now, monsieur,
you will De tired tomorrow morning. "

"And being tired, you will not

The dialogue went on in this way
for some time. Beaumarcnais, shrug

A SPIDERS ENGINEERING FEAT.
ais Tackle for Lifting Kernel OF fPopcorn
to HIS L0ls.

6iS Tackle 1Of LIln8 kAcAAoA ~A II
to His Lai-.
Popular interest has centered, dur
inc the mast few days, in the opera
tions of a spider of the tegenaria med
icinalis species over bar in a saloon
in this city. Thousands OF people
have gone into the place to watch the
spider accomplish an engineering 1eab
which displays in the insect almost
human capacity, and the Saloon
keeper is becoming rich bY tne paI-
ronage of his visitors during tEe star
engagement of the spider. The IN
sect set out on Tuesday to lift ker-
mel of popped corn from dish on the
bar to its web attached to an electric
light wire on the ceiling. 1t de-
scended on the kernel by spinning a
calle of the necessary length. 1t was
evident however. that when the
spider hoisted the load clear from the
dish its uneven weight would cause
it to lop to one side so suddenly as 10
probably snap the cable. 10 preVen1
such on accident the spider attached
two small sized cables to projecting
parts of the kernel. and made them
fast to the main cable about nVe
inches above the burden.
All being ready, the spider returned
to his headquarters and started It's
windlass and the kernel began to rise.
That was the situation when the peO.
ple in the saloon first discovered what
was going on. After getting the corn
I'D about foot, work was suspended
for a time The spider had began to
mistrust some of the machinery. It
made an investigation, repaired a
slight break or two above in the guys,
and then slid down to the corn.
Everything there was all solid, but
the engineer thought prudence
mark of wisdom and doubled up the
cable where the main weight was
seen to hang. This was at II o'clock
on Tuesday night, and, with more
cheerful air of confidence than it had
before displayed, the spider ran lightly
aloft to the hoisting apparatus. The
machine started, and so did the corn,
and so did the eager throng of specta-
tors, who burst into applause. Inside
Of minute the corn was raised at
! least four inches. Then there was
another delay, which was only short,
| At midnight on Tuesday the corn
| had risen two feet. AT daylight on
Wednesday it was up thirty-six inches.
There it seemed to stick. All day
Wednesday only slight progress was
made, though the spider never re-
laxed its efforts. Sometimes the
burden even receded. Then there
was series of jerks, but the machin-
cry overhead seemed to slip 4 cog and
no headway was made. Late on
Wednesday night operations were
Temporarily suspended, and the spider
retired to its inner chamber for con-
temptation. Thanksgiving day was
spent in the contemplation of further
plans or in rest, and this morning the
work rested where it had stopped on
Wednesday night. The spider went
up and down the main cable time
and time again, apparently mendins
it, and finally, toward evening, began
to draw up, but with only partial sue
cess, though it was cheered on by a
crowd of spectators. The sporting
fraternity are backing the spider at
10 to 5.-Syracuse Standard.

OAT HULLS.

weight has most often a rough, gritty
chat, that SO acts on the stomach as to

The hull, however soft its texture, i.
always laxative, and moderate degree
Of laxativeness is generally beneficial,
particularly to breeding animals. But
There is no gain in passing through the
heaviest grain in a nearly whole state.
Better light grain if it will digest bet
ter. This matter is SO ofton not thought
of that commonly the oats that sell fol
the highest price are not the best to feed.
