Frosted Limbs,

When any portion of the body has
become so chilled with the cold as
to be benumbed 1t is dangerous to ex-
pose 1t to the fire or any sudden
change of temperature. Gradually
bring about return OF circulation by
friction. Chilblains are the mildest
result Of a failure to exercise this pre-
caution. 1t is dangerous to life to
bring a person thoroughly benumbed
with cold. into hot room. He should
be first taken into, shed or barn
and given warm drinks before he is
introduced into heated room. After
this he may be brought into the warm
house, but not near the fire. This is
the treatment recommended by the
best authorities.

These dishes were placed upon the ta-
BILE while the lady faster gave to each

had brought in. for fear of possible
poison. These guards were selected
from the tallest and stoutest men In
all England. At the close Of this cere-
mony number of unmarried ladies
appeared, and with great solemnity
lifted the various dishes and carried
them to the queen In her private apart
ments. The queen dined alone with
few attendants, and 1t was seldom that
any one was admitted at this time,
and then only at the intercessinn of
some one in power.

An Economical Device.

Mourning handkerchiefs prove quite
an item of expense which many women
whose dress allowance is moderate
would be glad to avoid. With little
industry, plain, hemstitched handker-
chiefs, of which every woman has n
supply, may be converted into mourn
Ing ones by simply embroidering the
initials or monogram in one corner in
black silk. The effect Is dainty and
even elegant. Sometimes the hem is
also restitched in black silk Of good
washing variety. Needless to say, or
dinary lace-trimmed or embroidered
handkerchiefs are incongruous access
sories of a mourning costume, which
precludes ornamentation Of every kind.

The protest against the use of the
wooden nutmeg as an emblem of the
state of Connecticut, at least by Con-
necticut men, has plausible excuse,
states the Waterbury American. 1t
seems absurd that we should appear to
be proud of a symbol of dishonesty es-
pecially a symbol which is itself dis
honest and not justified by any event
in the states history. But the. pro-
test is rather late. Is it not possible
that our honest thrift, our industry and
commercial success have won for us
the right to ignore the significance Of
the emblem and make Of it, in a way,
a badge of honor.

America has now so developed her
iron and steel industries that she
must find fresh outlets for her prod
ucts. Such outlets sheis finding, as
we believe with profit, in foreign mar.
kets for certain products. For other
products, however, she will need to
create new shipbuilding industry of
her own; and what has been done or
is being done in that connection we
must reserve for future examination.
No thoughtful man, acquainted with
/, the American character, who considers
the situation, can fail to perceive that
the greatest competition to be faced
by British industry and enterprise in
the future is that Of American ship
building. It may be deferred few
wears, but it is bound to come.
