MAKING A PouLr1cE.

The making OF poultices and plasters
Ia part OF the duties OF a professional
nurse In which every household ought
to excel. There are many emergencies
tn which the proper use OF mustard
might break up a cold and prevent a
serious Illness, but often it Is so care
lessly made and applied that It's eff
cacy IS destroyed. The mustard leaves
OF the drug store are convenient, but no
better than a homemade plaster, which
can be prepared at a moments notice
II a stock OF old cotton and linen always
be kept on hand,
A mustard plaster means boiling
water poured over powdered English
mustard until a rather thick paste Is
formed. In many cases the mustard
is mixed one-thlrd OF its quantity of
-four. and for an infant the proportions
should be half and half.
Spread the mustard paste thin and
hot on a thick piece Of cotton, and v
with a thin piece OF old linen. Lay a
piece OF oiled silk or rubber over the
outside of the plaster, after applying it,
to keep the heat and prevent the damp
ness OF It penetrating the clothing. The
moment the irritation becomes SUM-
cient, or when the time the doctor has
ordered the application has elapsed, re-
move the plaster and cover the irri-
tated skin with cotton wadding TO keep
the cold air from strikinT In.
A fiaXseed poultice, often ordered bS
physicians for various purposes, Is
made by pouring boiling water over
flaxseed and stewing the mixture until
1t Is n thick paste. a
Spread It about an Inch thick on a
heavy cotton cloth, and cover 1t with
thin old linen, rubbing the surface OF
the linen with sweet oil to prevent the
poultice sticking, Renew the poultice
as often as It grows cold, as long as the
patient remains awake. Do not disturb
n sleeper TO do this unless SO ordered
by q physician.
A bread-and-mllk poultice sometimes
ordered. means stale bread crumbs
stewed in milk until a soft, thick paste
is formed. Apply 1t like the flaxseed
poultlce.
EFFICACIoUs ELM.
When a slippery elm poultice Is
ordered. pour boiling water over pow
dered slippery elm until II can be stir
red to a thick paste. Spread It as d.
rected' above. Add a little powdered
charcoal II needed.
Always remember that oil poultices
must be applied very hot and frequently
changed TO be OF any value, They lose
power when they become cold. A fresh
one should be made for each applIca-
ton.
These directions are given for the
benefit Of young, inexperienced house
keepers. who are sometimes called upon
10 do a nurses duty with no idea of
the simple art of the poultices and plas-
ters,

A Fortunate Escape
A BURLINGTON YOUNG LADY TELLS THE
STORY OF her RESCUE.
From me nlppsr. burlington, Y.

A reporter called upon Miss Lillian War
ner at her home, 4l5 St. Paul Street, Burling-
ton, w., and begged the favor Of an interview.
The young lady is a musician and
pianist Of considerable renown, and has her
time fully occupied by engagements TO play
at concerts and other entertainments that
are constantly taking place in the city, and
the strain upon the strength and nervous
energy of the pianist can be easily imagined.

enthusiastically, that braces me for my
work. Some little time ago ! was utterly
unable TO attend TO my duties, owing to
dsnrrangement of the nervous system that

But did you consult doctor !"
go yes indeed I put myself under the
care of several doctors, and even tried many
remedies recommended for cases like mine
but the medicines had no lasting effect and

to be my portion.

the dogs' when ! first heard of Dr, Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and it was with
but small faith in any benefit to be derived
from them that / at last made up my mind to
try them.

the correspondent of the New York
World arrived yesterday on the steam

which will come with comforting as
surance to thousands of people who
have friends on the pass, that at least
1000 men, with complete outfits, will
get through to the Yukon, though he
believes that only a small fraction Of
these numbers win reach Dawson City

TRANSPORTATION DIFFICULTIES.

Lack of Water aud q Mountainous ana
Almost Painless Country Make the
Undertaking Most Formidable-The
Enemy's Loss In Thursdays Fight.
Bombay. Sept 2O.-Advices from the
front show that the various columns
are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from Panjkora and Shabkadr. As yet
they have met with no serious opposi-
tion, but the difficulties of transporta-
tion in a mountainous and almost
painless country are immense. An
other formidable obstacle in the way
of rapid movement is the lack Of
water.
The brigade OF General Jeffreys has
not Joined in the advance On Satur-
day It left camp at Anayat, with 16
companies Of infantry and four guns
in order to re-attack the enemy at the
village of Damota. The enemy made
a desperate resistance, but We're driven
out into the hills. The British de-
molished their towers and captured 400
mule loads of supplies. As soon as the
troops began to retire from the village
the enemy reappeared in force. The re-
tirement however, was effected with
great precision, the native troops be-
having splendidly. Two Sikhs were
killed and six wounded.
1t is now known that the enemys
loss during the fight on Thursday last
between the Mounds and the Second
brigade of General Sir Bindon Blood,
in the valley north Of Anayat, was
very heavy. The tribes engaged did not
press the brigade during the retirement,
but fresh tribesmen appeared Captain
Ryder's company Of Sikhs virtually
owed their lives to an Afridis sergeant
of the guides corps, who when the
Sikhs had exhausted their ammunition
and were desperately cutting their way
back through the enemy, dashed up the
hill under a heavy fire with a supply
of cartridges. He arrived just in time,
as the swordsmen of the enemy were al
ready among the Sikhs, who were alb

and the hard fighting, to continue a

Overwhelmed by Numbers, They Are
Compelled TO Retreat.
Camp Anayat, via Panjkora, Sept. 49,
Severe fighting has taken place be-
tween the second brigade of General
Sir Blondin Blood's division and the
Momunds. The British loss was 140
killed and wounded.
The brigade had moved out to at
tack the Momunds in the valley north
of the camp, to punish them for the
assault Tuesday night upon the force
Of General Jeffreys at the foot of Pawat
Pass. The Bengal Lancers found the
enemy entrenched on the hills about
eight miles distant. The Thirty-fifth
Sikhs was ordered to make the attack.
The Sikhs drove the enemy into the
hills, but eventually fell back before
superior numbers.
The enemy then advanced against
the left flank drove back the cavalry
and surrounded a company Of Sikhs.
The cavalry charged brilliantly and re-
lieved the Sikhs, and the guides, COM
ing up, swept the enemy back. The
force halted for some time, destroying
the enemy's towers, and then retired.
A company of Sikhs on the hills to
the extreme right was hard pressed
and was running short Of ammunition,
when the general cfHcer commanding
moved the guides forward to their re-
lief, which was gallantly accomplished.
The guides carried the wounded Sil1hs
back and executed the withdrawal in
good order, though the enemy pressed
them hard.
Darkness came on before the force
reached the camp, and the guides, with
General Jeffreys and his escort of
Bluffs, became separated from the coll
umn. which passed them in the gloom.
General Jeffreys remained with the
guns and took up a position in village.
The enemy had occupied a part of the
village, and the escort not being strong
enough to expel them they had infict-
ed considerable loss on the little party
before Major Wortledge, with two
companies each composed of Sikhs and
guides, came up and compelled them TO
retire.

General Lee to Return to cuba.

Washington, Sept. 2O.--General Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, had
a long consultation with the president at
the White House Saturday. General
Lee gave his own views very freely to
the president, but after the interview
was very reticent about the nature Of
the report he had made. It is under
stood that at the conference the presi-
dent strongly urged Consul General Lee
to retain his office, at least for the pres
ent, and to return to Havana at his
earliest convenience. The presidents
action is construed to mean that he
thinks it unadvisable to make change
at this junctiure. General Lee viii re-
turn to Cuba probably about the mid
die of October.
