ASHES TO CURE CUTS.

Russian Physicians Revive an Old Cossaek
Method of Treating Certain Wounds.
Some of the best-known physicians
in Russia are strongly advocating the
adoption in the government hospitals
of an old Cossack custom of treating
cuts and wounds with ashes. The Cos
sack peasantry have treated cases in
this fashion from time immemorinl, and
DR.. Pashkoff, a Russian physician, who
has been studying the treatment, re-
Gently said in an interview in Russian
medical journal:
81 strongly recommend the treating
of severe cuts and wounds with ashes.
Experiment has convinced me of the
thorough efficacy of the treatment,
and, in addition, it is cheap, taxes lit
tie time to arrange, and does away with
bulky bandages, which have always
been the bane of nurses and physicians.
The best ashes are those resulting from
the burning of some cotton stuff or
linen, and only very thin layer should
be applied. If the wound has been
made by some dirty instrument and
there is danger of blood poisoning it
should be first washed thoroughly with
lotion. The ashes with the blood
forms hard substance, under which
the most severe cuts heal with remark
able rapidity."
DR.. Pashkoff has experimental with
ashes on twenty-eight cases OF cuts and
only two of the entire number friled
to result successfully. These cases
would have been cured, too, had not
the nurses failed to apply prescribed
lotions to the wounds before the ply.
sicians took them in charge. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that the ashes treat
ment will be adopted in the St. Peters
burg hospitals before long.

to him, to go and call upon the young
lady.
She received him in an entirely new
way She had appeared to take an un-
usual interest in him when he had first
met her, but it had been tempered by
the shadow of her displeasure. She
had argued with him severely on the
question of his duty to the university.
She believed that her arguments had
given to Yale the greatest pitcher that
the shade of old Eli had ever looked
down upon with approval. And she
received Lawrence as one whom she
had saved from oblivion, and set upon
the pinnacle Of fame. There was no
concealment about it. She asked for
his gratitude and he gave it. yBewil-
dered by the light of her eyes he told
her that he had no other ambition in
life except to shut Harvard out without
base hit, and she replied that he was
her knight and must wear her favor in
every contest. They talked baseball
for three delightful hours and Law
renee, who had committed to memory
On her account the newspaper accounts
OF all Yale's games, acquitted himself
almost as well as Paddy O'Toole could
have done it.
This meeting was but the beginning.
Florence was making long visit in
New Haven. Their conversation
glowed with the sacred fire of hostility
to Harvard. Lawrence described the
feelings which inspired him when he
went upon the field. He swore that he
thought of nothing and nobody but
her from the instant when a game
opened, and he declared that If by any
possibility he should neglect to think
of her at such time, if, in short, her
influence should be withdrawn for a
single moment, Yale would inevitably
lose the game. Whereupon she inn
plored him to be very careful
not to cease to think of her,
because she could never for
give herself if Yale should lose a
game in that way. And especially she
conjured him to think of her much
harder than ever before in the game

Bangs repeated them; and he kept
right on repeating them about Ave
hundred times q day for the next
month till Paddy knew them much bet
ter than he knew the alphabet.
In January the makeup of the nine
began to be the principal subject of in
terest throughout the college. OF
course the name of Lawrence Bangs
was never mentioned in that connec-
ton. In fact, it was rarely mentioned
anywhere except in the class room. He
was one of the least known men in the
college.
But one day there came change.
Harry Bangs took Paddy by the arm
and led him to that great center Of in
terest, the baseball cage.

CHAPTER VI.

ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE CROWD.
tits usual to preserve considera-
BILE degree of reticence regarding the
performance of candidates for an ath-
letic team. Boastfulness is the least
common of all ofenses at colleges.
The works of the athletics praise them
and not their own lips. The captain
of the nine always says modestly that
he will do his best, and that his men
will do their best, and he leaves the re-
mainder to the official scorer.
But the performance of Paddy O'Toole
had been SO remarkable that it could
not be kept quiet. 1t was all over the
college before morning, and the name of
Lawrence Bangs was more common in
conversation than the definite article.
On the grounds and in the class room
many fellows took occasion to be kind
to him. He was a freshman, and he
looked like one, but several upper class
men spoke to him in way that was
calculated to mako him think that he
had been in college several years.
Lawrence was less susceptible to flat
terry than most young men, yet he
could not help admitting to himself
that this consideration would have
been agreeable if it had been honestly
acquired. 1t grew and grew in the
succeeding weeks till it became posi-
lively narrowing. Lawrence was we'll
in the lead of his class, but everybody
forgot it. When the nine came back
from its practice tour in the spring re-
cess he was the ball player and moth
ing else. 1t was as impossible for any
body to think of him aside from his
connection with the nine, as it is to
separate Capt. Kidd from his piracy.
OF course, Lawrence remained hid
den during that recess and Paddy had
the character ali to himself. He did
very well with: 1t, thanks to the con-
tinual prompting Of Harry Bangs, who
travelled with the nine.
To Lawrence such period of retire
ment from the world would ordinarily
have been no hardship. He was always
glad to be alone with his books. But
on this occasion it happened that Miss
Lorne was in New Haven, and Law
renee knew of it. Now Lawrence had
been powerfully impressed by Flor
ence's beauty, and he counted the days
which must elapse before Paddy could
return and set him free. When the
distinguished pitcher at last appeared
Lawrence made it the first business of
the existence which had been restored

with Harvard, which would be played
on the following day. Then Lawrence
lied some more and promised to do that
which only Paddy O'Toole could per-
form. Indeed, the exigencies of the
case had made Lawrence so expert a
liar that it is no wonder his love suit
prospered. 1t was, by the best ac-
counts, in this interview on the even
ing before the Harvard game that
Florence promised to give him good
square kiss with all lodging, squirm-
ing and unnecessary haste strictly
barred out under the rules, in case
Harvard's colors were trailed in the
dust.
AS Lawrence had great confidence
in Paddy O'Toole this promise made
him feel very nice. But there was one
remark of Florence's which was not 80
agreeable.
"Oh, Lawrence" she said, looking
thoughtfully into his face. AZ wish
you could wear your baseball uniform
all the time. You don't know how
much handsomer you are in i: than In
your ordinary clothes"

be introduced secretly into the game,
and can be disbarred if detected. The
truth is only justifable when success
full, like so many others in this world.
Am I right?"

not understand a word.
''But would it not be discovered"
There's no danger at ALL" said
Harry. ''Miss Lorne just mistook
Patsy for you and she was not UNI

eff could fully reconcile it with my
conscience" Lawrence began.
Reconcile it with your duty ex-
claimed Harry; ''your duty to tho uni
versity and to your father. He will
never know that Paddy is not you, and
he will be proud of you. And OH he
added, raising his hand aloft like an
inspired prophet, II tell you that with
Paddy in the box, Harvard simply
won't be in it. Think of that, Larry;
think of that!'
Morris tribune., 1895-08-07
CHAPTER Y.
TIE FIRST TRIUMPH.

The arguments by which Lawrence
Bangs was induced to yield to his
brothers wishes are not essential to
this narrative. 1t is enough that the
reader should know that the famous
young man was in reality tenth
himself and nine-tenths Paddy O'Tool.
Neither is it important to explain here
the machinery by which the trick was
played. 1t was very simple. Harry
Bangs rented house in New Haven,
and Lawrence and Paddy lived there
with him. There was no other occu
pant except an old woman who acted
as housekeepe-. Lawrence was visible
during the earlier hours of the day. At
the close of the recitations he went
home, and ceased to exist. Paddy took
his place. One of them was always in
the house, hidden from mortal view,
while the other played the part of
student or athlete in the college world.
These details may be passed over
with mere mention, but there is one
point which needs serious considera-
ton. 1t may be that to the reader
this scheme of dual personality will
appear Objectionable on the ground
taken by Lawrence Bangs at first,
namely, that It is not honest. If .suchs
is his view, he must remember that
this is an isolated case. 1t is absolutely
exceptional, and has no bearing upon
the question of the purity of college
athletics. There is, in reality, no snch
question at all. If there is anything
in mems later dealings with one an
other which is SO honest, pure and
manly as college sport, it has cleverly
eluded the writer's observation. If
there is any tendency to take an I'M
fair advantage, it does not come from
the boys themselves, but from men
who, since leaving college, have ar
rived at business principles by
process which is very properly called
coming down And even business
principles and the recognition of the
faos hat victorious team of athletes

ty of Minnesota, by long series OF
experiments, finds that the pumpkin
does most of its growing after seven
o'clock in the evening and diminishes
its activity as the sun rises and begins
to act upon the leaves. From nine
o'clock in the morning until three
o'clock in the afternoon the weight Of
the fruit diminishes, owing to the
evaporation of water from the leaves
of the plant. The general results show
that when the fruit grows most tho
vine grows least, and vice versa.

hen the day is slowly dying.

Wnen the Gay Is slowly dying,
And the stars begin to peep,
While the summer flowers are lying
Bathed in dew and kindly sleep,
By my door stand and listen
For q dear loved step again:
Is 1t strange the tears should glisten
When wait so long in vain?
Is Il strange the sob should gather
As o token OF my pains
Day by day flies by without him.
Meier message Of his love.
Shall I, can I, dare to doubt him,
Once as true as heaven above?
Once so eager should listen,
Does he treat me with disdaina
Is it strange the tears will glisten
When I ask myself, in vain,

Win no never come again?"
Every hope is quenched in sadness,
Even life grows dark to me.

Comes across the deep blue sea
Standing in the shadow dreary.
Waiting with wild unrest.

Money Only a Tool.

Money is the lifeblood of trade" is a favorite fallacy of the silyerites and fiat money infiationists. This idea arises from ignorance of the real nature of the operations of industry and commerce. Money is merely one of the tools of business Its functions have no resem- blance to that of the blood in the human system. It does nothing toreplace goods which have been consumed, nor does it of itself produce anything or add to the wealth of the country. The real life. blood of business is the volume of the products of farm, mine or workshop con tinuously flowing all over the country. They furnish us with the means of sub sistence, renew our strength and minis ter in thousand ways to our necessities and comforts. They ara the true life blood of trade.

The Gold Endorsement Sustain. Silver

The Gold Endorsement Sustains Silver.
 The theory that We have lately had bimetallism is as baseless as the sug- gestion that we had 1t in the early part of the century. If l offer my note when my credit is not good, no one will dis count it if I procure the indorsement of one whose credit is good, it will be discounted at once. It would be the in- dorsement, however, and not the note which would have passed current. For a generation our half dollars, quarter dollars, etc., have nominally passed cur rent. Actually. however, it is the gold indorsement Of the government that has been accepted. A silver dollar today consists of half dollars worth of sil- yer. With the gold indorsement of a solvent government it passes for dol lar. That is, the gold indorsement pass es for the remaining 50 cents that is not in the coin. To say that we have bimetallism, and that silver coins pass on par with gold, is just as sensible, and no more so, as to state that my note for $1, 900, ,000 is as good as Mr. Astor' s simply because that when have gotten him to indorse mine it is discounted at the same rate as is his. And just as even Mr. Astor's paper would be promptly refused were it found that he had presented me with a ream of blank checks indorsed by him, which 1 pro posed to sign and use, so the gold in- dorsement of the government would be promptly discredited should it bind it. self by law to give it's gold indorsement to an unlimited quantity of silver. The silver dollars with the federal indorse- ment would then be worth the silver ill them-only this and nothing more. - Hon John Do Witt Warner in Forum.
