his palatial steam yacht Mayflower was
about completed. Mr.. Goelet, who had
possession of the White Ladye for about
four years, is understood to have paid
something like $4,000 yearly for her hire

How to Treat a Wound.

Three useful things to have in the
farmers home as a provision in case
|tof wounds not sufficiently serious to
necessitate the calling in of the medi-
dial attendant, are a spool OF adhesive
plaster, some iodoform gauze and a
package Of carbolated absorbent cot
ton. Cleanse and dry as nearly as
may be the cut surface with a wad of
the cotton, using moderate pressure,
and elevating the part it necessary to
check the flow of blood. Do not ap-
ply any water. Bring the cut surfaces
together as accurately as possible, and
retain them there with as few and as
narrow strips of the plaster as will
suffice, cutting them of a good length.
Then cover the wound with a dozen
or SO thicknesses of the iodoform
gauze, which should extend an inch,
Of least, beyond the wound. Over
the gauze, apply a liberal layer of the
absorbent cotton, allowingit it, in turn,
to extend beyond the gauze. The
cotton may be kept IN place by a
bandage of cheesecloth, or where suit
able, a part of the leg of a stocking
may be drawn over it. Moderate
pressure, if evenly distributed, is help
full. The pressure of a string is hurt
full. Keep the part moderately ele-
waited, and take are that there is no
construction OF the limb above the
wound, by q garter or otherwise

An Oregon Snake Den.

The largest rattlesnake, captured l.
Yamhill County, is now tue worse for
its experience. The original home OF
this snake is, no doubt, in the famous
Thurber snake den. near which 1t was
captured. The Thurbes den is on the
farm owned by A. ". Rees, in d rocky
knoll covering about two acres Ths
knoll is covered by o low growth Of
oak shrubbery and wild grass. The
snake home is really a rock quarry.
On the surface arerocks IN endless
numbers, and the regularity OF the
shape is remarkable. Nearly al! are
perfect cubes, varying in size from six
inches to two feet and more. The
| creviees between these rocks are a
natural home for the reptile family,
and it is said to be 10 uncommon
sight to see scores of snakes summing
themselves on the rocks in the early
spring.
It is not rattlesnakes alone that
haunt this den. There are blowsnakes
and blue racers. Many oEgthe latter
have been killed in the vicinity that
have attained q length Of six feet.
Then there is the stupefed snake,
which is one of the most interesting OF
the family. This snake has g. head on
each end, and run either way. One
head is about one.fourth es large as
the other. It is of q yellowish color.
It generally lies in a loop, and is fire.
quently observed RAINING in an ap,
parently stupeied condition on a rock
Or log. There are other varieties, such
as the garter, found around the den,
but the bite Of none except the rattle
snake is known to be fatal. Several
sheep and some cattle have died in the
vicinity Of the den from snake bites.

nIBBONED C~OIFFEURS.

The fashion Of tying the hair with a
coquettish bow, or rcsette Of ribbon,
was the result of an accident. In the
reign of Louis XIV, at a royal hunting
party, the hat of the Duchesse De FoD-
taHges, who was a court ~favorite, was
blown off, and he long, beautiful hair
fell about her shoulders and face. In
her dilemma and haste not to delay the
chase, she took off her long ribbon gar
ter, quickly rolled it around her disor-
dered locks and tied it in front with a
careless but exceedingly becoming lit
tie bow. AS everything that a favorite
does is called charming, the company
went into ecstacies over what they
called the "inspiration." The next day
the other ladies copied the effect, and
the Fontanges style became the rage,
and with slight alterations OR additions
reigned for several years.

the owner Of q liFer-col0red bird dog,
and Mrs. Murray, his next door neigh

The dogs have become so much at

gets into a fight the ether joins in the
afrray. Nj. Taylor has a four-year-old
bow to whom both dogs are devoted.
One morning recently Mrs. Taylor
thought her dog Frank acted strange
ly. lie came to her and gently pulled
1T her dress. The dog finding no no.
tice taken of his mute appeal looked
around the rokms apparently in search
Of his Toy fri ad. Not finding him no
ran upstairs to the bedroom occupied
by his yorng master.
Mrs. Iaylur followed him and saw
him go to the bed and pull at the little
boys nigLliress, apparently to wake
lowed by Mrs. Taylor, and kept III
ming to the door and barking. Mrs.
TAYLOR followed him to the front Of the
house where she found the NewfounG-
land dog with his foot caught fast in
some stoneworiI. from which he could
not e3tricate it. She loosened the
stones and set the dog free. Both dogs
then followed her into the house and
remained for several hours, apparently
to show their gratitude.
