Heat as Iva AntTseptic.

An eminent surgeon has been ex-
perimenting upon certain classes of
wounds and in surgical operations
with the view to testing the efficacy
of heat as an antiseptic. One of his
methods is to touch the exposed sur
faces with bits of absorbent cotton
dipped in boiling water. He finds
the healing process is greatly facili-
tated by this applica ton, and that,
too, without the cumbersome and ex-
pensive apparatus necessary for ordi-
nary chemical antiseptics. Attention
is also called to the Importance of
properly cleansing all instruments
used for any purpose whatsoever It
is not enough that they be dipped in
some antiseptic solution and wiped
with a bit of cotton waste, as is too
often the case. It is recommended
that a vessel of boiling water be kept
at hand, and that all instruments be
put in this and allowed to remain I'M
til thoroughly heated. The water
must be kept at boiling heat by
means of an alcohol or other lamp,
else there is no use in dipping the in
struments at all There is too much
carelessness in the cleaning of all
such appliances, and many deaths are
unquestionablY traceable to this.
cause. There is quite too little atten-
ton givey to the curative properties
of heat. The subject has begun to
attract the notice of some of
the more advanced thinkers among
medical men. 1t is declared that a
high degree of heat is of great value
when disease is to be brought to a
crisis. One author asserts that obsti-
nate ulcers, even of long standing,
and wounds that refuse to heal, may
be brought into active conditions and
speedily made healthy by packing the
affected parts with hot water bottles
or bags. Over the immediate open
surface pad of lint. made slightly
damp with glycerine and water, is
placed. This must be constantly
watched, and renewed as often as it
becomes filed with the discharged
matter, which it speedily takes up
The heat induces activity and in.
creased circulation, and the pad takes
up the poisonous emanations as they
accumulate. It is positively demon
strated fact that intense heat steadily
applied will break up any case of
pneumonia in the earlier or middle
stages, and there are many who do
not believe that fatal termination to
this disease is at all necessary unless
there are other complications. Sim
ply dry heat is too easy of application
and to unscientific for the ordinary
medical man. It will therefore prob
ably never be possible to make this
favorite form of treatment

Go-TO-BeD STORIES.

Children Often RECALLED With HObgOb-
lin and sleep Destroying Tales.
81 wish l were able to write all
the go-to-sleep stories that are told
to the little folks all over the land
every night" said a tender-hearted
mother to a Philadelphia Press man
the other day. ct makes me pos
itively sad to think of the small
brains that are filed with distorted
images, hObgoblins, ogres, giants,
and the like, just as reason is losing
its hold upon them for several hours.
don't think mothers realize what an
influence upon child's life, and even
upon it's life after it has ceased to be
a child, is exerted by this apparently
trihing matter of how it goes to
sleep. Every night when watch my
little daughter working off the big
thoughts that sweep over her brain,
as her tired body begins to relax
while her mentality seems to be
briefly and proportionately stimu-
lated, tremble to think of the harm
that could be done to her or any
child-for Mabel is not an abnormal
child in any way-by an ignorant
nurse or thoughtless parent The
fact that every normal child cries
out for a bedtime story shows that
its mental nature needs it just as it's
physical nature Graves sweets. You
want to give your child pure candy,
so give him the unadulterated story.
Leave out the fearful personalities,
the grim and gigantic figures these.
even if they are properly vanquished
by the gallant hero, are too distinct
for the crib-side tale. Sit down by
your little ones bed and speak low
and evenly. Weave a fanciful but
quiet story that tells of pretty fairies
and birds and flowers and droning
bees and loving little boys and girls
these woo sleep to the weary but
active brain, not with the suffocating
pressure of the gathering storm lit
with lurid flashes, but with the soft
clouds of the sunset horizon that
change from rosy pink to tender en-
veloping gray, and gradually deepen
into restful gloom

a Hungry Horse.

Henry R. Meyers, Pennsylvania
farmer, went to Philadelphia and at
one of the sale stables purchased a
horse for 500. Meyers also .pur-
chased number of household goods
and farming implements, with which
he loaded a truck wagon. On the
rear part of the wac on he placed a
pneumatic tire sullzy, costing $3.50,
and after the horse was tied to the
tail-board he started for home. On
Broad street, above Erie avenue, a
Twenty district policeman
stopped Meyers and informed him
thai the horse had destroyed his
sulky. Meyers found that the greater
portion of the tire of each wheel
was chewed open and torn off. The
new paint and the woodwork of the
shafts also struck the fancy of the
animal and were also badly chewed.
