ASHES TO CURE CUTS.
Russian Physicians Revive an Old Cossack
Method of Treating Wounds.

Russian Physicians Revive an Old Cossaci
Method of Treating Wounds.
Some of the best known physicians in
Russia are strongly advocating tho adop-
tion i'll the government hospitals of an
old Cossack custom OF treating cuts and
wounds with ashes. The Cossack peas
antry have treated cases in this fashion
from timo ilnmenorial, and DIR. Pash-
koff, Russian physician who has been
studying tho treatment, recently said in
an interview in Russian medical jour
nal:
II strongly recommend the treating
of severe cuts and wounds with ashes.
Experiment has convinced me of tho
thorough efficacy of the treatment, and
in addition il is cheap takes little time
to arrange ard does away with bulky
bandages, which have always been the
bane of nurses and physicians. Tho best
ashes arc those resulting from tho burn
ing Of somo cotton stuff or linen, and
only worry thin layer should be applied.
II tho wound has been made by some
dirty instruments and there Is danger Of
blood poisoning, it should bo first wash
cd thoroughly with lotion The ashes
with the blood form n hard substance,
undor which tho most severe cuts heal
with remarkable rapidity.
DR.. PashkoR has experimental with
aches on 2S cases of cuts, and only two
cf tho entire number failed 20 result
successfully These cases would have
been cured, too, had not the nurses fail
ed 10 apply prescribed Lotions to tho
wounds before the physicians took them
in charge. Il is extremely probable
that the ashes treatment will be adopt
ed in the st. Petersburg hospitals before
long.

Board of Trade, as follows:
The speculation in the stock market
was very tame until the Government bond
issue to replenisb the gold reserve was an
nounced, which occurred shortly after
noon. The report was a bitter disap-
pointment and a surprise to the street
generally. Instead OF an issue of $780,
a 3A per cent. basis were issued and only
half OF which are to go abroad. 1t took all
the bullish enthusiasm out of the street
and there was general rush to sell stocks
all along the line.
The selling was chiefly OF long stock
bought during the past 10 days by opera
tors who thought that large amount of
bonds would be issued and lead to general
boom.
The pressure to sell was especially pro-
nounced in the industrals and the Grang-
ers stocks, the prices for which show de-
clines ranging from 5-s to ~ per cent,
The fact that the bond issue was much
smaller than expected, only bringing the
gold reserve up to the 100000 900 status,
is regarded by the street as an intimation
by the President to Congress, that unless
II does something the administration will
60 on issuing bonds whenever the neces-
sity arises.
Grain.
The grain market has been irregular
throughout the day. Prices for both
wheat and corn in the Chicago market
opened strong at u to q cents advance
over yesterdays closing on frmer and
higher cables and the severe weather
prevailing throughout the West.
The bears under the lead of
Partridge and "Charlie I" Smith
fought the advance, but heavy purchases
for foreign account, together with the
strong cables, frightened the little shorts
and prices soon advanced * to X per
cent. further. This latter improvement
was, however, lost in the later trading on
free realizing by local longs on the disap-
poiptingly small bond issue. Prices clos
ing barelys teady at about yesterdays fig
ures. The New York markets followed
Chicago throughout.

The De Gohcourts tell us, on the
authority of T'heophile Gautier, that
"Balzac abhorred music. Theo
did, we know. To him is generally
attributed the saying that music was
the most expensive noise of which
he had cognizance. Balzac did not
himself thoroughly understand it,
but he was deeply interested in ii.
He treated it almost sympathetical-
ly He got, so it is said, a learned
German to help him to deal with it
elaborately, and not q little pleased,
il may be remembered. was he with
the result.
Had any writer Of fiction before
Balzac ever analyzed any musical
composition with half the thorough
ness with which in one of his short
or stories Balzac analysed Robert
le Diablo" and all the method of
Mcyerbecr? And Meycrbcer, it il
worth noting, was in the Paris of
Balzac's day, just half accntury ago,
almost the Wagner of that place and
time. Ho was an innovator scarcely
less discussed.
