occasion. The mere fact of getting to the

features Of Arctic exploration although the
most hazardous. On his former expedition
Lieut.. Peary accomplished much in the

to expect much from him should he be
spared to carry out the plans he has formed

Tho Cnhandy Closet,

The average height Ct women Is feet

Burns and scalds Of Children.

Should the clothing catch fire, immedi-
ately lay the child fiat on the floor and roll
the hearth rug, shawl or some wooden
garment round it to smother the flames.
If doctor can be obtained, leave the child
quiet, only keeping it warm, and if faint
giving hot milk as a drink. If the docter
cannot be got at once, very carefully re-
move the clothing, eating any part which
tends to stick to the skin and leaving 1t
where 1t sticks. Do not break any blisters,
but cover the whole surface with strips Of
linen soaked in oil, or. where oil cannot
be obtained, dredge -four thickly over and
then cover with cotton wool. Scalds are
treated in the same wny as burns. AL
cases of burns and scalds are serious and
should DO seen by q doctor as soon as pos
sible.

Many banks and trust companies that are
loaning money ON bond and mortgage now
adays are adopting the practice of making
all such loans for one year only. AS a
rule they are perfectly willing to renew
the mortgage, but one year is usually the
limit on its face. The reason given is that
the times are so shaky that the banks want
their securities in such shape that they can
be made available in the shortest time in
case of an emergency. Will some Demo-
cratic orator explain that as an indication
of confidence in the administration of his
party.

two enterprising young ladies of that town
