Bleeding, and How to Stop 1t.

Many mother has had a terrible
fright by child running in with its
clothes, hands and face all smeared
with blood. 1t is astonishing what a
mess a child will manage to make with
a little blood. You will find, most
probably, when you have washed with
cold water that the amount of injury
is mere triAe. fit is difficult to stop
the bleeding, a most valuable remedy
is the common whiting, or pipeclay.
Put a thick covering Of either of
these on the wound, then bit of dry
lint, and press it closely for few min
utes, let what sticks to the wound re-
main there, and cover with a bit of
plaster.
Bleeding from the nose, unless it
goes too far, need not alarm you nay,
in many cases it may prevent some
thing more serious; but when it re-
quires to be stopped, let the child sit
upright, battle the neck and face with
cold water, and dissolve a little alum
in water, and squirt it up the nostrils.
If this does not succeed send for the
doctor.

Beetles as Undertakes.

People often wonder what becomes
of the dead mice and dead birds, for,
though birds and mice are constantly
dying in large numbers, hardly one is
ever to be seen. The fact is that they
are buried by beetles. Buchner gives
a brief account of them as follows:
Several of them unite together to
bury under the ground, as food and
shelter for their young, some dead an
imal, such as mouse, toad, mole,
a bird, etc. The burial is performed
because the corpse, if left above
ground, would either dry up or grow
rotten, or be eaten by other animals.
In all these cases the young would
perish, whereas the dead body lying
in the earth and withdrawn from the
outer air lasts very we'll The bury
ing beetles 90 to work in very we'll
considered fashion, for they scrape
away the earth lying under the body,
so that it sinks of itself deeper and
deeper. When it is deep enough
down it is covered over from above.
If the situation is stony, the beetles,
with united forces and great efforts,
drag the corpse to some place more
suitable for burying. They work SO
diligently that mouse, for instance,
is buried within three hours. But
they often work on for days, so as to
bury the body as deeply as possible.
From large carcasses, such as those of
horses, sheep, etc, they only bury
pieces as large as they can manage"
There can be no doubt Of the in
telligence of these strange insects, as
a gentleman discovered in a rather
curious way. He desired to dry a
dead toad, and for that purpose he
fastened it upon the top of an upright
stick. The burying beetles, however,
were soon attracted By the smell, and,
finding that they could not reach the
toad, they undermined the stick, caus-
ing it to fall with the toad, which was
duly buried.

A little boy was walking with his
mother in the park, when they passed
a procession Of schoolgirls, arranged
in order according to their ages. The
skirts of the pupils varied in length
according to their years, the youngest
having the shortest, the oldest the
longest. And the boy said to his
mother, as he watched this phenome-
non with innocent curiosity;
Mamma, why do girls legs grow

The yellow fever continues to spread

appears 10 be less violent than it was

A ton of gold dust, collected in the

At Dayton, Ohio, Monday night, as
part of a celebration powerful
searchlight was thrown at various
points in the sky. At Byron, vii
lage twenty miles away, the light
brilliantly Illuminated cluster of
clouds Immediately over church
yard where lawn fete was in progress.
The people did not know the source
of the mysterious brilliancy, and were
greatly alarmed. The festival was
turned into prayer-meeting and re-
Iigiou8 excitement ran high, as many
persons thought the world was COM
ing to an end.
Some queer stories have recently
been circulating through West Virgin
ia on various subjects, and here is one
Of them A man by the name Of
Lantz, foreman in the mines at Har-
man, had his skull crushed. DR., Har-
man decided to perform an operation,
although part of the brains had run
out. Accordingly, two-year-old
heifer was tied down and her brains
neatly removed and a portion of them
substituted for those injured in Lantz's
head. Both we're then neatly dressed,
leaving the animal without brains.
The Giant Trust Company secured the
heifer and are keeping it as a curiosi-
ty. The animal will stand as if dead
until started, and then will go from
one side of the field TO the other as if
crazed. When fed its jaws must be
started, which continue until stopped.
Mr. Lantz is rapidly improving and
his complete recovery is anticipated.
