a sick room can be made of cardboard
and covered with a crochet cover of
either white silk, wool or cotton, as
preferred, a small loop being put in the
middle of the top to lift it by.
THE English way of serving pineap-
pies is to take the fruit out from the
rind in a solid cone. This, with its
prickly stem attached, is left intact.
The pine is then sliced and piled in its
natural shape and the rind fitted on,
1t is thus sent to the table and served.
A PRETTY tea cloth may be made of a

HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS.
The Proper Treatment Of Slight Wounds
and Scratches.


A slight cut or abrasion of the hand,
or slight burn, may become a serious
matter IL IL is totally neglected. Where
the skin is torn or cut, it is desirable
IN the first place that the wound should
bleed freely. Cases of lockjaw are of
rare occurrence where this is the case,
and very slight wound of the hand
or foot has been known to produce
this dangerous malady where bleeding
did not follow.
One of the greatest dangers lies in a
wound of kitchen knife, which may
have held impure matter. and even
from the scratch of a pin, and fatal
cases of blood-poisoning have fire.
quently resulted from so simple a
cause Absolute cleanliness, therefore,
is necessary in the treatment of such
wound. After the wound has bled a
little 1t should be washed with per-
fectly clean water. That which has
been boiled is best for the purpose,
and there is no harm in using u little
carbolic acid in the proportion of a
drop or two to quart of water.
y Do not attempt to stanch bleeding by
the use of cobwebs, which are natural
ly dirty and full of impure germs, but
use little lint and a clean cotton or
linen cloth. These should be always
kept in the houses for use in case Of
such accidents. A trustworthy drug
gist will always supply some prepara-
tion of carbolic acid, properly weak
ened for household use. Even house
hold ammonia, though 1t is painful at
first, Is recommended as a mild way of
Icauterizing simple wound. thick
paste of equal parts of common baking
soda and flour, wet to apaste with cold
water, is the best remedy for burn.
1t is better than lime-water because
lime-water is liable to become incruSt-
ed, while the paste of soda and -four is
cooling to the surface and can easily be
removed. The object of treating a
burn is to cover the extremities of the
nerves which have been injured and
give them opportunity to heal. While
such paste is being prepared, cover
the wound for the moment with COM
mon flour and wrap it up in clean cot
ton.
4 simple healing plaster which may
De prepared in the household calls for
half pound of resin, an ounce each
of mutton tallow, camphor-gum and
beeswax, half an ounce each of British
oil, cedar oil, gum myrrh and linseed
oil. Melt the resin, mutton tallow,
camphor-gum, beeswax and gum myrrh
together and add the oils. This plaster
should be spread on cotton when need
ed and applied to the wound.-N. Y.

railroad ties, are used very largely in Mex

course the explanation is that the ore did
not pay to work but this docs not remove

MARY ELLEN'S BREAK.

During 1890 Mrs. Larry Ellen Lease OF
Wichita was the strongest man in the
peoples party Of Kansas She was the
Jumbo that drew the horny handed to
the political meetings, and with her deep
bass voice advised them to raise le
corn and more hell" They took her ad-
vice, left their farms largely to Provi-
dence, their wives and boys, and the
weeds, while they biocka lie the side
walks in the towns and swdppo tales Of
woe. And in the fall he was the princ-
pal crop harvested; and tn other ,rtieS
thought there was an over production of
the commodity. But Mary Ellen sang
loud over the victory. 1t was largely
hers. She was right to the front with
the boys at the start, and WAS seriously
considered in connection with the SELL
atorial election in the wiuter OF 81. But
she lacked the whiskers W hill, w"re the
argument in favor of Gran y Pc fer and
the persimmon dropped into the latter s
apron.
But she undertook to engineer the
whole outfit ct reform in high and low
| places IN the state. This ruused tne re-
sentiment of those who sat on the upper
perches of the reform roost, and they be-
gan to treat her cuolly. But she WAS Gu
pable of creating trouble and it was con
sidered advisable to soothe her ruff ID
feelings while retiring her to innocuous
desuetude. So she Was given a $1,000
enap on the state board of charities
Here she disported herseif like n
town COW in garden and soon had tn
powers in hot water. Things went from
bad to worse until the election last fat
when the reform wagon struck the repub
lican stump and the whole gang went
over the dash board.
As they scrambled out of the wreck
there was general disposition OF each
to lay the blame for the catastrophe
on the rest. Here M ,ry Ellen dis
played her besetting weakness. She let
her m ruth get away from her in the
presence of Kansas City and Topeka re.
porters She ripped the reform State
House ring up the back with a vigor
only equalled by her indiscrAtinn. Sh G
accused them of being corrupt, ineih
cient, and boodlers. Her language wat
published, and the, as indiscreet persons
sometimes do. accuse d the reporters o
lying. Bnt they proved otherwise Thi
made tronble that must be met sqnarely
but how? To turn the erstwbile leade
of the party out of the downy nest pro
vided for her by Gov. Lewelling mean
trouble; to retain her IN it meant NOR
trouble. Her scalp WAS loudly demanded
but the Governor was timid about goinI
after it. But being man of expedientl
he gave her little more rope. Gradu
ally she wound herself up in other diff
culties and got beyond the limits Of her
authority in running the state iustltu
tons.
