If the wound be an open one and
the blood issues in jets or spurts, it
is evident that an artery has been
cut; when it flows in steady stream
the severing of vein is indicated.
In the former case piece Of cloth
must be bound tightly above tho
injury. But unless the wound is in
either the leg or arm the bleeding
must be stopped by placing pad and
bandage directly over the bleeding
point.
DIR. Baruch demonstrated with the
aid OF BOY subject how these various
bandages should be made. To stop a
violent hemorrhage temporarily the
fingers or thumb must be thrust into
the wound, so as to close tightly the
opening. Where water is used about
bleeding wounds, it should be very
cold. In severe bleeding from the
nose the head must be kept erect and
ice applied to bridge of nose and back
OF neck. A strong solution of alum
in water or very cold water, with half
vinegar, should be snaffed up. In
vomiting of blood, small pieces of ice
should be swallowed and cracked ice
in towel placed over the pit Of the
stomach.-Nep York Tribune.

A Fascination in IL.
journal

1.-The low price of cotton is one of the
most distressing things to the people
Of the South said Mr.. A. r. Bla-
lock, of Mississippi, to a reporter of
the Washington Post
"Why cotton should be so low
when the crop all over the South is so
short is hard to understand. 1t seems
that the law Of supply and demand
fails to operate here, and the effect
is disastrous to the planters. 1t can
not be raised with any profit under 8
cents per pound; and when the farm
crs are forced to sell at 6 and less
they are parting with it ut less than
the cost Of production. But one will
say, why do not the growers of cotton
hold it for better prices? It can be
stored without deterioration fof ali III
definite time. The answer is that
they can't wait; they are without
money, and the only way even to get a
pittance Of cash is 20 convert their
bales into currency.
''It is bad enough that prices should
be low when there is big crop, but
now that the drought in nearly all the
States has materially lessened the
amount produced this year, the condi-
tion is much worse. Texas will pro-
ducc not more than 1900 600 bales,
when if the rains had come over 81
900, 900 would have been grown. 1t
makes very bad times for the class of
men who produce one of the world 8
greatest commodities and necessities,
bus it will have no effect in causing
them to plant less next year. There
is the fascination of gambling in rails
ing cotton, because there is no worthy
way of betting what prices are going
to be. The unexpected sometimes
happens; without any seeming cause
the market takes boom, and then the
farmers congratulate themselves on
the facS that they have cotton to sell. -

A QUAINT BIT OF GERMANY.

Region just Out of Berlin RemarIkn-
bile for Its Old Customs.
The Spreewald is the subject of a
paper in Century. The writer says:
Strange, indeed, that so near Berlin SO
could have remained reasonably uncon-
taminated by the hordes Of picnckers.
The Spreewald is too near great cap
ital for foreigners to hear much of it.
The museums and palaces Of Berlin, the
palaces of Potsdam, absorb all the
spare energy Of foreign visitors. And
for convenient outhights it is q little
too far for most burghers Of Berlin.
Some have country places in and near
the Spreewald. Many visit it occasion
ally. 1t is a favorite place for people
from Dresden and Leipsic who can give
several days to exploring it's watery
labyrinths. Especially for the teaching
guild is it favorite resort. Every vii
lage has it's inns, and at Burg, where
Vendish services are held in the old
church and the costume remains the
most antique, there are several famous
taverns. One is the bleachery where
Frederick the Great established a col
ony of dyers and weavers, who have dis
appeared, although the art is still prac-
ticed by private means for personal use
in many farmhouses. But the fine
green, orange, pink and lilac headdress-
es and the turquoise, gray and yellow
skirts are now bought at Cottbus or in
Berlin. "...

OUR FIRST POSTAGE STAMPS.

"Josh Billings Father Was the First
PurchaHer, Just Fifty Years Ago.
Fifty years ago-in July, 1s47-
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps" writes Fannie Mack Lothrop
in Ladies' Home Journal. "In Eng
land, seven years before, Rowland
Hill, father of the penny post intro
duced the sticking plasters,' as the
stamps were contemptuously called.
John NJ. Niles, our postmaster-general
at that time, tried heroically, but in
vain, to move congress to authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
Q, 1S47, the stamps not being issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July 1. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1S47-a five and ten-cent stamp, bear
ing, respectively, the portrait Of Frank
lin in a bronze tint and Washington in
black.
"The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father of Henry Wheeler Shaw (better
known as Josh Billings the humor-
lst. Mr.. Shaw was in the postmaster
generals office OH August 6, 1947, when
Mr.. johnson entered with the printer
from whom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr.. Johnson passed
a sheet to Mr.. Shaw for inspection.
After giving the stamps hasty glance
Mr.. Shaw, perhaps with an eye to fu-
ture fame, took out his wallet, counted
out Is cents and purchased one Of each
variety. The five he kept as curl
osity, the ten he presented to Gov.
Briggs as an appropriate gift"
