How to Treat a Wound.

Three useful things to have in a
farmers house as a provision in case of
wounds not sufficiently serious to neces-
state the calling in of the medical at
tendant are a spool of adhesive plaster,
some iodoform gauze and u package of
carbolated absorbent cotton. Cleanse and
dry as nearly as may be the cut surface
with wad of the cotton, using moder-
ate pressure and elevating the part if
necessary to check the flow of blood. Do
not apply any water. Bring the cut sur
face together as accurate as possible and
retain them there with as few and as
narrow strips of the plaster as will suf-
fee, cutting them of good length
Then cover the wound with dozen or
so thicknesses of the iodoform gauze,
which should extend an inch beyond the
wound Over the gauze apply liberal
layer of the absorbent cotton, allowing
it to extend beyond the gauze. The cot
ton may be kept in place by bandage
of cheesecloth, or a part of a leg of a
stocking may be drawn over it. Moder-
ate pressure, if evenly distributed, is
helpful. The pressure of string is hurt
full Keep the part moderately elevated
and take care that there is no constric-
ton of the limb above the wound by a
garter. Exchange

Goodwin and the Dude.

One evening after the performances
Nat G. Goodwin went to a restaurant
for late "bite. At the table adjoin-
ing the one where the actor sat with a
couple of friends was small group Of
first row youths. One of these young
men had met Nat Goodwin somewhere
for minute. He wanted to show to his
friends that he was acquainted with n
real actor Accordingly he brought up
some topic relating to theatrical matters
and made statement which some other
Prominent Citizen, Jr. disputed well.
now, I'll leave it to Goodwin, said the
young man who had met Nat Goodwip
somewhere, for a minute. So he turn
ed around and called out rather loudly:
"Oh, Goodwill say, Goodwin, come
over here a minute, will your" The ac-
tor was startled for a moment, and then
he arose. He took hold of the back of
his chair, and, with all the artistic dig
nifty mt his command, he said, looking
coldly at the young man, Call me ell
ther Nat or Mr.. Goodwin. if you please. "
Then he seated himself San Francisco

DISAPPEARING GATES.
Grade Crossing Protection without Any
UnsightIy Features.

Grade Crossing Protection without Any
UnsightIy Features.
A disappearing gate for railroad cross
ings has been recently patented by Fred
erick Nichols Of Lynn, Mass. The many
advantages of such a gate will be readily
understood. It's construction is very
simple, there being 10 cogs or gears 1t
is made of sliding and jointing bars and
angle irons and can be constructed with
out great expense.
A trench about four feet deep is dug
on each side of the tracks across the
street. The earth sides of this trench
are supported by plates of boiler iron,
instead of expensive masonry, bolted
to u shaped iron castings. TO these
castings is fastened the lower and sta
tionary part of the gate. The slit OF
opening through which the gate comes
up is, of course protected from dirt,
etc, by the top rail of the gate when it
is down and when public travel is pass
ing over it, When the gate is up, the
opening or slit is protected, as public
travel over it is stopped. The bottom of
tut ID VI SIdNcl NouClCtS, anu
it is graded toward one end to allow
water which does not soak up to run off
into a sewer or blind drain.
At the side of this opening, on the
street level, are cast iron plates covering
manholes, which allow man to go the
entire length of trench to oil or adjust
any of the movable working parts.
The gate is counterbalanced with
weights, and friction is reduced to a
minimum, thus making its operations
easy. A bell signal is sounded before
the gates are raised. At night incandes-
cent lamps are lighted by contact being
automatically made as the gates are
raised. Lanterns are used where cleo.
tricity is not available.
The gates are quick and easy in ac-
ton, can be operated by one man, where
it often requires two by present meth
DDS. They can be operated from switch
or signal tower in many instances. They
will not interfere with trolley wires OF
electric car tracks The gates are raised
and lowered by the simple movement OF
| a lever on which is latch, securing
the gate in any position. Philadelphia

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Many of the Books AN Insult to the In
teliigence Of Young People.

telbgence oil Young feopie.
Edward w. Box has been making
careful and comprehensive examination
of Sunday school libraries, and i'll The
Ladies' Home Journal he confesses HIM
self disguised with the literature thus
placed in the hands of our boys and
girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr.. Box says, would not have made it
possible for him to believe that the Ii
braries of our Sunday schools were
stocked with such piles of rubbish
"wishy wasby literature" as he terms
it. He quotes the titles and gives the
themes CT number Cf books he obtained
from Sunday school libraries, and these
seem to completely warrant his conclu-
sions. "Such books, he contends, "are
an insult to the intelligence of the
young people and have pernicious in
fiuence. Instead of being healthy books
they are decidedly unhealthy in tone
and teaching. Surely we are cultivating
a dangerous taste for reading i'll the
young when we feed them Oh such rub
bish. |"
Mr.. Box unhesitatingly lays part OF
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are influenced by
a denominational spirit that narrows
their choice of books. Then, again, it is
shown that the most mediocre sort Of
talent" is employed to write these
books, and that beggarly prices-less
than $50 per book-are paid. A share
of responsibility, Mr.. Box asserts, rests
upon the men who purchase Sunday
school libarries, who, as is most fire.
quently the case, are not qualified for
the task and whose object is to secure
library as cheap as possible. Mr. Box
warmly urges that the selection of Sun
day school books be left to women, who
instinctively know and feel the kind
of book which boy or girl will read
and enjoy" He insists that women
should be given carte blanche to make
the selections SO far as the prescribed
amount of money will go. "a hundred
good books" Mr. Box concludes, ''are
far better than 500 books of Indifferent
interest,"" which are bought simply be-
cause they are cheap. "A Sunday school
library cannot be created in day, and
no encouragement should be felt if the
financial means of the church are con-
tracted and necessitate the purchase OF
only a few books at time"

Helpless as to Bread.

Captain Bliss was like all seamen, q
strict disciplinarian, and his crew re-
spected him beyond measure. Not one
of them would have dreamed of inter
preting command otherwise than ac-
cording to the strict letter of the law.
Things must be done shipshape under
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in GER
tain port, the captain gave dinner to
some town acquaintance, and as the
resources of the ship were not great
some Of the sailors were deputed to wait
on the table to re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards.
AS these men were not used to such
work each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one of
the ladies wanted piece Of bread.
There was none very near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite oblivious to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to the
man at her elbow.
Bread, please" she said.
He looked regretfully at the bread
and then at her. 1t was evident that he
would fain have helped her if it had
been in his power. He saluted in fine
naval style.
Cant do it, ma am, said he. "I'm

Some French DueIs.

The most prosaic, the most bourgeois,
of all eminent French statesmen and
historians, the late M. Adolphe Theirs,
fought a duel when a young man with
the irate father Of pretty girl whom
Theirs, while anxious to marry, did not
wed, because he was too poor to support
her. Shots were exchanged without re-
suits, and the combatants embraced.
The famous journalist and litterateur,
M. Emile de Girardin, editor of La
Presse, fought four duels in 1884 with
the editors of other Partisan journals
because the annual subscription of
French daily newspapers being at that
time at so francs, he had reduced the
price of La Presse by one-half, with the
result that the circulation of his paper
was enormously increased. In the last
of these duels he had the misfortune to
kill Armand Carrel, man of talent and
a popular idol. Girardin, who was shot
in the hip, had fingered between life
and death for weeks before he recovered
from his wound, and never, in spite OF
repeated provocations, could be induced
to fight another duel. 'Dueling, he
said, ''is a fault of our education against
which our intelligence protests. But
in France you must have killed your
man to be able to say that. -Cornhill

He Abolished the Pace.

TOT many years the Cincinnati En-.
Iairer used TO print a solid editorial
page and employed an exclusive editorial
stan OF six writers, who wrote all their
matter at night III order to keen abreast
OF the Geographic news. One Fourth of
July evening as they assembled to begin
work somebody suggested a patriotic
drink in honor of the occasion. They
MED down to restaurant near by. and.
DIS they lined up at the bar, the door
opened and Washington Mclean, the
presiding genius OF. the paper, came in.
MI. Mclean did not drink often. but
when he did he drank very hard. On
TINS occasion he was celebrating the
Fourth.
The result was that round after round
OF whisky was ordered and nobody
thought OF the editorial page except one
writer twho tells the story in the Chi
cago Times Herald), who went back TO
the editorial rooms and sat down to
write an editorial. He never got beyond
the first sentence, Yesterday was the
Fourth Of July" The next dav, when
the paper came out, on the editorial
page there was just one line of editorial
matter AT the top were the words,
Yesterday was the Fourth of July, -
and the rest of the page was filled with
news. The reading public believed that
the change was intentional, and Mr..
Mclean received so many congratula-
tory letters commencing his enterprise
IN giving news preference over editorial
that he abolished the editorial page per.
manently.
