STOPPING NOSEBLEED.
Various Ways in Which 1t May be
Done.

Nosebleed is a trouble which nearly
every one has tried his hand at curing
From the grandmother who has a
dozen old tricks for stanching baby's
nose to the business man whose pretty
typewriter's pretty nose starts bleed
ing and who makes himself ridiculous
by trying all sorts of impossible ways
to relieve it, every one has had his
experience with 1t.
The doctor is aever called in until
every one else has tried every remedy
he can think OF without avail. And
the doctors themselves are sometimes
put to their trumps to cure an obsti-
case.
But it is not lack Of remedies that
makes nosebleed troublesome. There
is no limit to the remedies. Most Of
them are fantastic and are subjects
most fantastic remedy sometimes
cures when more sensible ones have
failed. There is reason in the absur-
dity.
Every grandmother will tell you
that sure relief is obtained by stuffing
a spiders web into the nostrii. Why a
spiders web is any better than rag
of cotton its advocates might find it
hard to tell. But it is used on the
same principle under which wound
is bound up with lint-to close the
open blood vessels and stop the
bleeding.
Roll a strip Of paper into a thick
wad and stuff it under the upper lip.
This is supposed to compress the ar
teries that furnish blood to the hose
and shut off the supply.
Put tie feet in a hot bath; if mus
tard be added to the water so much
the better. This is on the principle
of drawing blood away from the head.
Apply ice to the nape Of the neck.
This is another counter-irritant, and
also aims to drive the blood away
from the head.
Snuff cold water up the nose. This
is to contract the openings in the
veins and arteries through which

blood away fromthe seat of the hem
orrhage.
Snuff alum up the nostrils. Thi
is for its astringent properties.
Snuff borax, Same reason.
Spray the interior Of the nose with
a solution Of perchloride Of iron A
London physician cured nosebleed
with this prescription few years
ago. 1t got into his throat and killed
the patient, but the nosebleed was
cured.
Drop cold key down the back.
This is a counter-irritant. Ice would
be better. But the key may some
times be more easily had.
Swallow small pieces Of ice after
masticating them. This may bring
in toothache, but it often cures nose
bleed.
Snuff up tannic acid in the form of
powder.
Apply blisters to the surface Of
the neck.
Fasten an ice-cold bandage tight
around the forehead, so as to compress
the coronary artery,

AT HIS WORD.

Many postofice names are queer
enough to make one desire an ex-
PLANTATION of them. Sometimes the
explanation is queerer than the name
itself.
A minister in Cass county wrote to
Washington in behalf Of the residents
Of a growing hamlet, asking that
postoff1ce be added to its institutions.
The request was favorably received,
and he was asked to suggest name
that would be acceptable to his
neighbors.
He replied that they were not hard
to please, so long as the name was
peculiar. The postofice department
took him at his word, and Peculiar"
is the name Of the office to this day.

A Serious Matter.

The Sabbath of today isn't much
like the Sabbath of my youth. Then,
people didn't in the face and eyes OF
everybody, go fishing or go on rail
road and steamboat excursions, or
patronize the theatre, or play or waite
a game of ball or do many things
which are done without fear or COM
ment in these days of progress and
civilization. Sunday, instead of be-
ing day of worship has been turned
into a day of fun and recreation and
public sentiment has grown to think it
all right and to take no heed of the
eternal fitness of things and I for one
prefer the good, quite Sabbath of old,
rather than noisy, frolicking Sabbath
of the generation. 1 am glad to state,
sub rosa, that my town still has some
regard for Sunday and the deductions
above are general, more than local.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican state convention
held on Tuesday of last week, was
body az oW with enthusiasm, and
there was everywhere manifest a
determined spirit which means a
brilliant victory when its work is
submitted to the voters in Novem-
Der. The HERALD predicts the
the largest majority ever given a
state ticket in Minnesota. The
splendid personality of the candi-
date 10. governor, William Henry
Eustis, will arouse the patty to un-
precedented endeavor While the
nomination of Judge Collins would
have been peculiarly acceptable in
this congressional district, where
strength is most needed, perhaps,
yet Mr.. Eustis has troops Of warm
friends and will have many more
of them before the campaign con-
cludes. The party will wage Wig
orous and aggressive warfare from
the beginning. There are no apol-
ogleS to Offer, no explanations 10
make. The ticket is composed OF
good men and true, and the plat
form has no uncertain planks in it.
That mistake was made in not
endorsing Judge Mitchell for the
supreme bench is pretty generally
acknowledged. His eminent fitness
should have outweighed all other
considerations in constructing the
ticket. 1t is true that the men
nominated are all able lawyers and
well qualified for the bench, and yet
the nomination of Judge Mitchell
would have been good politics, as
we'll as exalted wisdom.
But the ticket is peculiarly strong
in detail, and wi arouse enthusi-
asm. 1t stands for all that is rest
in party politics, and every man on
it is worthy of confidence and
support. 1t is winner.

1t Is calculated that an hours battle be-
tween such warships as the Massachu-
setts of the United States and the Palayo
of Spain would cost 81 200, 600 in powder and
ball. In an hours time the Massachusetts
might fire her four 13-inch guns twenty
times. That would mean eighty proiec-
tiles weighing 5000 pounds. or forty-four
tons of shot and shell hurled toward her
opponent. Her eight S-inch guns might
boom their fierce greetings half as often
again. That would mean nearly thirty
six tons more. Powder costs Is cents
pound averaging the different sorts used
on 4 battleship. The quantity of powder
used TO eject these 12o tons OF proiectiles
from the main battery oniy would amount
to sixty tons, or $50, 900 worth. The fuses
for these projectiles cost from 81 to SIS
each. The number used would approx
mate 100, and probably more. That would
mean $500 more of money burned. The
projectiles, however. are the most expen-
sive part of the whole fusilade. They
would make hole in the $50. 600 defense
fund Of $4,000. The VERY tiniest shot from
