If You Burn Yourself.

The pain from slight burns is very:
great. An excellent application is a.
thick paste of common baking soda
moistened with water, spread on q:
piece of linen or cotton, and bound on
the part, writes Elizabeth Robinson
Scovil in an article ON "What to Do in
Emergencies" in the Ladies' Home
journal. This can be kept wet by.
squeezing water on it from a sponge
or cloth until the smarting is soothed.
A thick coating of starch can be-
used instead of the soda, or wheat
-four if nothing better can be had,
but neither should be applied if the
skin is broken. In this case it is
better to use vaseline, olive or linseed
oil. The doctor will apply some prep
aration containing carbolic acid. /
If the air can be effectually excluded
from burn the pain is relieved.
Blisters should be pricked and the
fluid absorbed with soft cloth before
dressing.
If the clothing adheres to the skin
the loose part should be cut away and
the patches of material soaked off with
oil or warm water. 4,
When the injury is extensive the suf-
ferer will be prostrated and may die
from the shock. Heat should be ap-'
piled to the extremities and over the
heart, and hot drinks given until the:
doctor comes. =
In burns from strong acid the part,
should be covered with dry baking
soda or lime, as the alkali will neutral
ize the acid. No water should be used,
but cosmoline or oil applied after the
alkai has been brushed of.
When the burn has been caused 5y
an alkali an acid must be used. A per-
son recovering from the effects of O.
burn requires very nourishing food.

A Remarkable Experience.

Little Addie Cunningham, Of Fall
River, Mass, has passed through re-
markable experience. On the 10th OF
last September she was eating water
melon, when a seed lodged in her wind
pipe. She was seized with terrible
fit of coughing, and for weeks her life
was departed of. Physicians could DO
nothing for her, and she wasted away
to skeleton. She was seized with a
terrible fit of coughing few days ago
and the melon seed was thrown out.
It was three times the size Of the regu-
lar size of the ordinary seed and con-
tained long sprout, which was evl-
dently growing in her windpipe. She
was Immediately relieved and can now
breath easily.-Chicago Herald

yet, despite the inevitable end which
can be SO plainly seen, there is never
lack of youngsters to fill every va
cancy in the ranks.
The mine worker has characteristics
that can be found in no other man.
As the father grows old, the son takes
his place, and the clans remain to-
gether, until they gain kind of pro-
prietorship over the company in
whose employ the families have long
been. The past five years have, how
ever, been marked by the beginning
of great changes in the old ways.
The son no longer thinks his fathers
place high enough. The mine has no
attraction for the young man, and he
becomes clerk or a student. Very
few of the rising generation at present
will become miners. =.
Education and newspapers are large
ly responsible for the change. At
Scranton the miners have philosoph-
ical debating society. All of the mem
bers read one or more newspapers and
keep posted on public affairs. Frank
ness and honesty are the two most

HONEST FAM E.
BY HOWARD O. TRIP.

Ny feet hath trod the sordid sod
Till they are weak and lame;
But still I stray along the way
That leads to honest fame.
But who will care when ! am there
Within that palace grand2
For honest fame IS but name
Traced on Times shifting sand.
And soon or late the grand or great
Shall lose their heritage,
And they shall all sleep meath the pail
OF q forgotten age.
The things we trust will turn to dust,
The jewels that we prize
VIII sometime be within Times sea,
Aud lost to human eyes.
But others trod the dusty sod
Till they were old and lame.
And long did stray along the way
That led to honest fame.
And few did care when they were there
Within that palace grand;
Their honest fame was but name
Traced on Times shifting sand.

GENERAL DOW AND THE MoLAssEs DEALER.
General Neal Dow says that after the Maine
prohibitory law was passed he met a large
importer of molasses who said to him IL
am glad your law has passed, though it will
min INV business" He sold his molasses
largely to distilleries. Mr. Dow assured MIN
that for every gallon he sold to the dlstii-
cries under the license law, be would be able
to sell two to the common people under pro-
hibition. 1t proved to be true.

THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

Drink is the great curse OF Australia. High
wages only too often lead to indulgence in
bad colonial beer, and wine that is even
worse than malt liquors or spirits. Girls and
women drink much more in the colonies
than they do in England. This is partly
owing 20 the hard work, partly to the hot
climate. II shouldn't like the girls who
made me this shawl to see me in this place. "

able farmer at home. Both girls hnd peen
emigrants, and both had come to grief
through drinking.

driven and gangways opened. This
furnishes employment for part OF the
men oil of the time, and the most de-
serving are chosen. The Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company, which usually
employs Is, 600 men, is able to keep
1900 on these improvements. The
widows and orphans are cared for and
special cases of destitution are relieved.
Coal is supplied free and house rent is
allowed to lapse. Some of the larger
companies build many houses for their
employees to live in, and the collection
of rent for these is deferred until more
prosperous times. Companies that
have general stores extend longtime
credit to the men, and in this way food
is obtained. As u rule, the miner is
honest and pays when he can. Public
charity, however, is not organized, and
destitution has been so common for
years that little notice is taken of it.
The seven ages CT man IN the mining
region are successive periods Of priva-
tiol danger and hard work. The
miner begins and ends his lays in the
breaker 'lclling slate. First, rs the
boy, he enters the breaker. Then he
aspires to tend door i'll the mine, carry
u whip and chew tobacco. Next he
becomes mule drivc~ and learns to
swear. As miners iaborer next he
loads the coal his employer digs. Then
he reaches the summit Of his ambition
and is full-Aedged miner. AS old

handle the pick: he goes back to tha

commenced life full Of ambition and
strength.

ORRESPONDENCE.

PALIsADE, Jan. 8. 1894.
EDITOR SENTINEL: As there seems to
be a great diversity of opinion as to who
should be appointed to succeed our late
Sheriff, and our Commissioners are di-
vided as to who is the best man for the
position, we would suggest to them the
propriety of leaving the matter to the
voters and taxpayers of the county. If
the different aspirants for the position
will by a petition signed by the voters
and taxpayers each ask for the appoint
ment, our Commissioners can soon de.
termine which of the different candidates
is wanted. 1t seems to us in this part Of
the county that this course would be the
proper one to take under the circum-
stances and we believe would meet the
approval of the great majority Of the
taxpayers of the whole county.

All the gold bug schemes are to avoid

into money and made to serve as such all
over this great republic, why is ii not

Of paper. We hsve heard . good deal
about sound, hard money from the gold

ing schemes TO expand paper money. Pa.
paper is not sound-it Is soft money. If

tain it there can be no doubt that 1t
