Wood Pulp for PouItices.

Wood pulp has been put to variety
of uses in recent years, but to none
more interesting than poultices and
surgical dressings. When macerated
in water it sweIls and absorbs from
four to five times its weight of liquid
retaining it for a long time. AS tho
pulp becomes soft a poultice of any
desired consistency can be made by
varying the quantity of the water. By
using hot water the resulting poultice
will retain it's heat and moisture much
longer than similar poultice made
of bread or flaXseed. Antiseptic drugs
soluble in water may be dissolved in
the water in which the pulp is to be
soaked, as the pulp itself IS unaffected
by most drugs. When dry the pulp
will absorb both oils and fats. This ia
particularly valuable, as II can be used
as an emollient and antiseptic substi.
tute for salves, etc., on lint as a surg.
zeal dressing. Wood pulp can be
nodded when moist, so that it can be
med as splint, owing to the fact
that it dries very hard. When kept
slightly wet with an antiseptic solu-
ton the pulp remains soft and can be
used as an absorbent dressing. Crude
wood pulp can be sterilized bv heat

There was moi pitifulness of appeal about
the expressionnor altitude of Philip STAINS

some as ever, and, save that his complexion
was notified all over with patches of gray

had seen him In the change house.
But behind him were the two buxom
women, Janet Mark and the other whose
name l did not then know, their rosy
cheeks turned CHASTITY white and the strong
drink dead within them. Philip Stansfield
stood forward and apart with a certain
pridefulness, g black and bitter scorn low
ering on his brow. But the two women
kept weeping and wailng their fate, wiring
ing their hands and calling heaven to wit
ness that they were wholly innocent of all
evil intent.
To the several corners OF Janet Mark s
apron there chung a child. the first being

concludes that the stanls CT the torpedo
boat is just what it was before the war.
The admiral ADDS:
'"rhere were two sea fights in the war
the attack on the Spanish ships at Ma
niia by Commodore Dewey and that re-
sulting from the attempt of Cervera to
escape from Santiago with his squadron.
IN each of the cases all the Spanish ships
were destroyed, while the American ships
hardly suffered at all. The sudden de-
struction and the character Of the destruc-
ton would have been news to us If they
had not been foreshadowed by the results
OF the battle of Yalu. Admiral Sampson
brought forward the outbreaks of fire
in Cervera's ships as one of the lessons
Of the war Without doubt this was so,
but the battle of Yalu had already made

bles surrender to conquerors that had not
e. lost a mast OF a man. SinOpe had later
taught what could be done in destruction
with shell gums. .t. ,....
"But, speaking for myself, I am bound
to say that the three battles OF Yalu,
Manila and Santiago have shaken my
faith in the historical method more than
any occurrences Of modern times. I had
certainly imagined that surrender would
precede destruction, and had even gone
so far to suppose that it would be
killed and wounded that would determine
surrender. as it certainly did in old days;
and yet here are three battles where there
has been no real surrender, and, other
wise all destruction. One of the ablest of
my rising naval friends comforts me by
remarking that the nearness of the shore
has in each of these cases had to do with
the results, and that in a sea fight out
of sight of Land the Old rule might remain
intact. There may be something in the
remark, though some Of the Chinese ships
when beaten went down in deep water
without making sign. And then I am
afraid that we must allow that we have
descended from the courtesies to the bar
barities OF war The old rule certainly
was that when the result became assured,
when prolonging the dispute could be
but waste of life, the commander bowed
to fate and surrendered the fruits of vic
tory to the conQueror- We seem to say
now that the fruits of victory must be
denied to the conque1or at all hazards
and that the spirit of the savage under
the guse of gallantry is to dominate. If
this is a lesson Of the war I fear it is

Pail Mall Gazette: An extraordinary occur

works committee of the Birmingham city coun-
Gil yesterday The men employed on NEednes-
day to clear the streets of snow were supplied
with overcoats which, becoming soaked by
the sleet and rain apparently gave off pois-
onous gas. AS result large number Of the
men are suffering from poisoned hands and
arms, and have been treated at the hospital.
Sir James Smith, chairman of the committee,
stated that about sixty of the corporation en-
ployes have up to the present complained of
the effects of the chemical dressings Of the
coats and overals, but it is not at all unlikely
mat other cases will be reported. The gar
ments were supplied by Birmingham house.
and representative of the firm attended be-
fore the committee and explained that the cloth
was obtained from mill in the north. DR..

the cloth, and he reports that it contains chlo-

In another case a bullet entered about
one-eighth Of an inch above the heart
and for three hours it was impossible to
tell whether the mans heart had been
hit or not. The man was taken to the
hospital, whence in e. week he was dis
charged.
Still another man was shot through the
thigh bone. The doctor reported having
ripped open his trouser leg, and after
having applied plaster around tlt, outer
and inner wounds the man ten minutes
later mounted his horse and led a cavalry
charge. An ordinary bullet would have
made amputation of the leg necessary.
