Finished with Him.

A young gentleman who lately left
his fathers house, having exhausted his
credit, telegraphed the other day to his
parents:
Your son Walter was killed this
morning by a falling chimney. What
shall we do with the remains?"
In reply a check was sent for 6 20,
with the request: Bury them"
The young gentleman pocketed the
money and had an elaborate spree.
When in condition for writing he sent
his father the following note:

ing. a certain Spaninsh knight, very
poor but proud, and rightly so, as his
birth was as high as a kings, arrived
late one very dark night at an inn in
France. Riding up to tho entrance on
his forlorn nag, he fell to hattering the

WOODCOCK'S WHISTLE.
That Musical Sound Is Made by the Birds
=. r II ---- Wings. 49, ----- ~ IL


NJ E Wings. .a. .... @ 20. ..
At various times during the past few
years have read with much interest
discussions in Forest and Stream as to
how the woodcock makes his whistle,
that delicious ripple of melody so fas-
cinating to the ear of the sportsman
who hunts the shy and handsome game
bird.
While shooting woodcock recently in
company with friend this question
was discussed, my friend at once as
severating that the whistle was made
by the birds wings and not through the
bill by the aid of the throat, at the same
time saying to me: "When next you
shoot woodcock without iniuring it's
wings, and without killing it, simply
making body shot sufficiently hard
to bring the bird to the ground, call
your dog to heel, retrieve the bird your
self, hold him by the bill suspended in
the air at arms length, and in flutter-
ing to escape from your hand the
whistle will be made by the birds
wings" @#
While shooting few days later with
another friend was fortunate enough
to make body shot on woodcock,
which came to the ground with the
wings unbroken. The dog caught the
bird, which had attempted to fly after
it struck the ground. took it from the
dogs mouth, and, seeing it's wings were
unbroken, I determined to make the
test then and there.
After telling my friend what I was
about to do I held the bird by it's bill
at arms length, and the result was that
it made the whistle three times, each
time by executing rotary movement
of the wings and body while fluttering.
If any sportsman doubts this state
ment I wish he would do as have done
and all doubt will be dispelled from his
mind as to how this enchanting whistle
is produced.-Foresta and Stream.

Tom looked deeply puzzled at these

was she had dreamed the effect pro-

equally stirring paper combating and

On the way home from the club Mrs.

PREPARING POULTICES,
Some Points of Value to the Household
Nurse.

Some Points of Value to the Household
Nurse.
The chief object of poultice is to
supply and retain heat and moisture
for the relief of pain and internal con-
gcstion. Other but less frequent uses
are for cleaning the surface of foul
ulcers and fastening the removal Of
dead tissues.
PoulticeS are best made of ground
fiaxseed, but in case this is not to be
had, bread, cornmeal or hOminy may be
substituted.
In making a bread poultice, the crust
of the loaf should not be used, and it
should be remembered that such a
cornmeal or hominy is used, salt should
be added to each application, to pevent
irritation of the skin.
The greatest benefit of poultice
comes from it's heat; therefore care
should be taken to apply it very hot.
The flaXseed meal should be mixed
with boiling water in a receptacle placed
over the fire, and the mixture should be
constantly stirred until it is of about
the consistency of oatmeal porridge.
The batter should tken be evenly
spread, about half an inch in thickness,
on a warm cloth folded in two or three
layers.
Over the surface of the faXseed q
piece of cheese cloth, white tarlatan, or
n fine cambria handkerchief should be
laid; or, these failing, the surface may
be covered with a small quantity Of
vaseline or sweet oil. This procedure
IN no way interferes with the action of
the poultice; it's object is simply to pre-
vent the faxseed from adhering to the
skin.
The poultice, after being applied to
the body, should be covered with either
oiled silk, flannel or cotton wadding, so
that the heat may be retained. AS soon
as the poultice cools it should be re-
moved and fresh one applied.
In order to render poultice more eff
fective in diminishing or relieving deep
seated pain, as in the chest and abdo-
men, mustard may be added to the flax
seed. Such q poultice is far better, for
ordinary purposes, than mustard
plaster. 1t is rarely followed by any
unpleasant irritation of the skin.
The mustard should not be added in
the form of the powder, but should be
carefully mixed with a small amount of
warm water, and then thoroughly
stirred into the fiaxseed just before it
is spread upon the cloth. The amount Of
mustard should be varied according to
the severity of the pain and the age OF
the person.
The application of mustard in this
form is particularly well suited to chill
dren and old people, whose skin is easily
irritated.-Youth's Companion.

EDGED ON THE DOCTOR.

n Napoleon or FINANCE Meets Ills water
loo In New Hampshire.
An itinerant corn doctor took pos.
session of the public square in Charles
ton, N. H., q few evenings since and
proceeded to transact business which
was of land-office dimensions while ii
lasted. But he closed up early.
Eggs were flying at him from all di.
rections and he was a sorry-looking
sight when he reached the friendly
shelter of the hotel
He had imposed upon the confidence
Of the unsophisticated and the shower
of eggs was their way of expressing
their righteous indignation.
The doctors" modus operandi was
something like this: He had corn
ealve that was unequaled and unap-
proachable in it's virtues; he wished to
advertise it and would, for ten cents
give sample of the salve and check,
on the presentation of which later he
would give present.
The present" end of it caught many
who were old enough to know better
and several children, but great was their
checks, they We're handed Is cents as a
present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 80 per cent.
on his investment. The doctor had
article No. 2 to advertise and would
also give present to every purchaser
who would pay 25 cents for sample.
Those who had bought one package
of No. took two and three of article
No. and were given checks as in the
previous instance. OF course they
thought this man who gave them Is
cents for ten cents would certainly give
them at least 35 for %.
But he didn't.
He probably thought he had gone the
limit and when the spectators pre-
scented their checks they were given q
bit Of taffy candy by the smiling doctor,
who said: 81 told you would give you
a present, and I have done so,"' and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the Joke" ~.
Several of those on the outside of the
crowd got their heads together and
then went to a nearby provision store
and invested all the money they had in
eggs, and the less modern they were
the more desirable for their purpose.
When they returned the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had, he said,
travelled a great deal and had got it
in the neck" himself and never COM
planned. ......
Well, just then he got it in the neck
and in the back and on the head and in
several other places. There was a per.
feet shower of eggs. ... ..
The doctors smile vanished, and he
did not stand upon the order of going
but got quickly. He made five or six
dollars, but he will need new suit OF
clothes.-Boston Globe.
