TIE n OF THE
SCHOOLS.

The public schools OF this parish
will open Monday, for how long a
session, it is impossible to tell. 1t is
unfortunate that our school sessions
are not more extended than they have
been 10 the past ; but, ever as it il,
the people do not derive from the
schools all the advantage they offer.
The attendance is not rs large as i
should be, owing to various causes, 40
doubt, but principally, we fear, to the
after indifference Of some parents aud
their want of appreciation of the
benefits of a little education. Uned-
ncated themselves they fail to grasp
the necessity of education 20 their
ofsprings. Having succeeded fairly
well, in some instances, in lite, with
out ~educatiop, they reason that their
ehildren will also be equally able to
shift through life and "get oun with
ont the advantage of education.
They little know how much better
they might have Jared themselves.
had they had some education. and
fail altogether to ~apprehend that
conditions are changed, and that
education, however limited, is more of
. necessity now to success in life than
il was a quarter Of a century ago.
1t is trne that oar public school
system is none of the best that the
education it imparts is very imperfect
as it trains only the intellect at the
expense Of the heart but it is tn,
best within the reach of MANY a
father of family and the advantages
offered by the system, as poor as thew
are, should not be neglected. Acare
full home training by a good mother
will in a measure make up for the
defects of the system. Under present
conditions the State does all in its
power towards the schools. with

New Stanch for BIood-FIowing.

An original and efficacious device for
stopping the flow of blood has for some
time been used by the Chinese meth
cd, it is stated, still entirely unknown to
the medical fraternity of this country and
Europe. The plan is to use sachets
filed with charcoal powder obtained from
straw, the application of these fine bags
showing considerable advantage over the
ordinary medicated gauze. The bags
shape themselves perfectly over wounds
and have a considerable absorbing pow
er, while the cost is almost nothing: they
can be made, also, wherever they are to
be used, and in a shape to suit each par
ticular case, which is a fact of no little
Importance in using for field hospitals
and surgical cases. In preparation clean
straw is taken, placed in a large vat, put
Oh fire, and cover which closes hermeti-
cally is placed on top; the combustion Of
the straw is slow. and the product is, of
course, aseptic-that is, devoid of mi
crobes

From The Mail, Milford, Ind

Miss Emma Rybolt, a prepossessing
school girl, of Milford, Ind, is of more
than usual intelligence, and is ambitious
to rise in the literary world.
In the fall of 1885, said Mrs. Rybolt,
Emma was taken ILL., She was a close

She grew weak, pale and nervous, and
complained of pains in her back, chest
and limbs. The doctor said she was a
victim of nervous prostration, and should
have been taken from school weeks ear
Ger. She grew worse, her nerves were SO
tense that the least noise irritated her
and she had fever and d continual
twitching in her muscles. The symptoms
were much like St Eitus' dance.

Pharmaceutical Soaps.

The medical journals of Germany make
mention of a new sulphur soap-Jhiosavo-
nal-soluble in water. For the production
of soaps of this character sulphurized oils
are used. The thick liquid THO oil is
made fluid with alcohol, and gradually
mixed, while being continually stirred.
with an equivalent volume of potash I've.
which is likewise thinned with alcohol.
The addition of large quantities of potash
I've at one time produces separation of
sulphur, but this danger becomes less
toward the end Of the saponifcation, and
at last small excess Of potash I've is
used. The fact that all the thiosebacic
acid has saponified is indicated by the
liquid appearing clear as a whole, and a
sample taken being clearly soluble in wa
ter as well as in alcohol. The excess of
alkai is neutralized by volatile fatty acid.
The soap solution thus obtained is freed
from the alcohol in steam bath and
boiled down to the consistency of soft
salve, being occasionally tested for neu-
trality. Eighty-fve parts of this soap are
mixed with fifteen parts of glycerine. The
percentage Of water in this mixture is -
