TREATMENT OF WOUNDS.
some Simple Instructions Which
Every Mother Should Com
stantly Bear In Mind.


Severe cuts and wounds need most
careful treatment, or blood poisoning
may follow Careful dressing of
wounds will often prevent very bad
scars. Over punctured wound place
pad. which must be removed if in
fiammation ensues to allow the dis
charge TO escape. A wound caused by
rusty nail or similar substance
should be cut to favor the escape of
blood or foreign matter which may be
left i'll the wound. Water that has
been boiled and pieces of old linen are
always the best to use in dressing
cuts or wounds. On no account use a
piece of ,,nwashed calico for this pur-
pose. Rolls Of old linen and adhesive
plaster should always be at hand where
therea are children Cleanse the cut from
blood, dirt and all foreign matter, then
bring the edges of the wound together
and apply diagonaIly several strips of
adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly
to the skin. When cotton wool is APP

cases and wardrobes are used

Clothes cases and wartlrobes are used
instead.
A new article of bedroom furniture is
called a clothes case. This takes the
place of the bureau or dresser. Instead
of having each drawer separate. like
boxes, half of the front opens upward
and the other half drops. forming a
shelf. The clothing is distributed in
shallow sliding compartments open in
front and drawn out by the edges.
These eases are made to order. in
small or large slides, shallow or deep,
as one may desire. The convenience is
obvious. as the articles have separate
compartments, and are not in such
danger of being wrinkled from having
piles of heavy clothing on top.
These trays are made of plain wood
to match the outside of the case. or
covered with linen. or padded with
scented silk pads. There are long trays
for the skirts, short ones fof. the waists
and little onesafor the collars, ribbons,
etc., with some cubby-holes for fans,

CONVENIENT PIG HOUSE.
Adapted to Suit the Size and
Condition of Amy Herd.

Concerning a modern ttlp-to-etate hog
house costing $500 or more, large
enough to accommodate 40 or so, would
say that in building pigpens, like every
thing else, the bestis always cheapest.
The plan shown herewith needs but ht-5
tie explanation, as it can be construct
ed according to the means at the build
er.s command and it can be made to
suit the size of ones herd. You could
easily construct a four-room feeding
house on this plan out of good dressed
lumber for less than 5000, especially
If you are able to do your own car
penter work. When as many as 40 or
50 hogs are to be kept they always do
better if kept in different pens accord.
Ing to size and age. 1t is also neces-
sary that different aged animals be
fed a different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
be done when we have our hogs prop
er1y graded and separated. One thing
we would have in making a hog house
and that is concrete floor. Any other
floor is Objectionable in some way. All
kinds of wooden floors make bad rat
harbors unless they are built mp high
off the ground, and in most cases they
soon begin to decay and make pens ur- s
healthy. BY letting the concrete extend
out to the walls all round no rafscan do
any damage and you can scrape or
wash out your house as clean asa jug
at any time. The cost of a concrete
floor may be a little more than wood
to start with, bur it is cheapest in the
end.
Let the sleeping rooms be made like
a lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They

her much at 1S, or at 21, to run mile,
at a good pace, too?
rs it not likely that even several
miles under favorable circumstances
for instance, in hare-and-hounds
galne-would not disturb her? Had
she been taught to run properly, never

with results of a terrifying sort. DR..

THE tubercle bacilli will live for
weeks on the floor of store or other
place where the, sun does not shine di=
rectly on it. When it is swept into the
air of the street, to be breathed by per-
sons passing, it produces infection.

person in every SO in the United

THE FLAVOR OF HONEY.
some Bees Not Allowed to Sip tho
Nectar of Flowers OF Their
Own Choice.

Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with different kinds
OF honey and wrinlIing their brows
over the problem of producing what
seems to them the most desirable favor
during the coming summer.
For the bee is no longer allowed to
pursue his own sweet peregrinations
and sip of the nectar of flowers wher-
ever he chooses. Honey made in this
promiscuous way is much too ordinary.
His actions are restricted and guided.
AS a result, such honey as never was
tasted before is tickling the palates of
many. If it is the white sweet clover
flavor that has gained favor with the
epicure, he goes Systematically to work
to produce it. and plants large plot of
ground, perhaps half an acre, with this
particular kind of clover. He has it
carefully kept from weeds or any other
variety of clover that might endeavor
to find a footing there. The whole bed
is inclosed and rooted with a fine wire
netting and the beehives are then
placed within the inclosure. From the
bees life, therefore, the spice of variety
is plucled, and, try as he will, he can
produce none other than white sweet
clover honey. In flavor it is very deli
cate and almost white III color.
Yellow sweet clover honey is pre-
ferred by others. The favor is slight
ly stronger than that made from the
white variety, and its color is a deep
yellow. Then there is The honey that
is made from thistles and milkweeds;
1t is amusing to hear producers of such
iavors tell of their tribulations in maxi
ing these wayward plants grow within
their restriction. Some of the wild
flower honey is almost black III color,
and the flavor is certainly verydifferent
from what it was in the days when
honey was honey. and that fact settled
the question. 1t is almost verging on
the, indiscreet to mention buclSwheat
honey nowadays, although it is still ac-
1lnowledeed to have wonderful stay
ing properties. IN. I. Sun.

RACE WITH ELEPHANT.
Hunter in the African WiIds Saved
His Life by OutwItting His ~
Pachyderm Pursuer. e&@

Only those familiar with the 'man-
ners and customs of the elephant have
any idea what nimble creature it real
ly is. Massive and slow-footed as it
looks, it is capable, when reused, of
feats that would be difficult for much
feeter animals. Especially is this the
case with African elephants, which, al
though taller, are generally lighter
than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover,
accustomed for ages to lead wild life
and often depending on their alertness
and speed of foot for their very exist
ence, they have acquired skill in
gymnastics which has occasionally
taken even old elephant hunters by sur
prise.
In illustration ofstf1is fact we are re-
minded Of a story told by one ofsthe
noble army of British sportsmen in
Africa. He was gs'out after elephants"
and had just fired at and wounded a
magnificent specimen. Unfortunately
for him, he had only succeeded in
slightly wounding it, when, infuriated
by the attack, it turned and charged
him. It was terrifying sight. With
it's enormous ears spread out like sails
and emitting shrill notes of rage, it
came laundering over the ground like
a runaway locomotive. The hunter
tired another shot, but missed; his
nerve was shaken. and, throwing down
his express rifiey he sought safety in
fight. Nearssat hand was a atsteep hill
and to this he directed his steps, for,
Being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, she.
thought. his pursuer might be bafied
by the steepness of the ascent. 1t was
a terrible disappointment to find that
the elephant could climb hill just
as quickly as the hunter, nimble run
ner thatahe was. M
The fugitive, indeed, would have soon
been overtalxen il he had not thought
of a really ingenious ruse. He knew
that elephants never run nor even walk
down steep incline, but always crouch
down. gathering their feet well tor
gether, lean well back and siidedown.
just as the ferocious animal had got
within few yards of him, therefore,
the willy hunter suddenly doubled and
ran down the hill again! Quick as a
flash the elephant turned, gathered
himself together and, It rumpe peting with
baffied rage, slid down after his victim.
The hunter had just time To spring out
OF the way as the great beast came
''tobogganing. after him, smashing
trees and shrubs and carrying every
thing before him like an avalanche.
Then once more the hunter dashed to,
the top of the hill, while the elephant,
unable to stop itself, went careening
down to the very foot,where, apparent.
Iy feeling very sore and disappointed,
it rose and walked YEARLY back to its
native woods-Chums.

of which was famous in its day. One
of them, known as .the necklace of the
Virgin of Atok;i, was sold to the coun-

Another was the property Of the ex-
queen of Naples, the sister of the late
ill-fated empress of Austria. The third
was the celebrated necklace of ex-Em-

on state occasions and which was sold
not long ago by a firm Of London jewell
ers for 10000. The value of Countess
Henekel.s necklace at the present time

Then he waits for his victim to get
some distance away from the hole be-

He learned this method by sad expert

rat or mouse as soon as it appeared and
usually with the result that the intend
