TREATMENT OF WOUNDS.
Some Simple Instructions Which
Every Mother should Con-
stantIy 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
Summation ensues to allow the dis
charge to escape. A wound caused by
rusty nail or a similar substance
should be cut to favor the escape OF
blood or foreign matter which may be
left in 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
piece of unwashed calico for this pur-
pose. Rolls of old linen and adhesive
plaster should always be at hand where
there are children. Cleanse the cut from
blood, dirt and all foreign matter, then
bring the edges of the wound together
and apply diagonally several strips OF
adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly
to the skin. When cotton wool istap-
piled indicated cotton only should be
used.

TEACH HER TO RUN.
The American Girl Should Be Sys-
tematicaIIy Trained in This
HeaIthfuI Exercise.

The American girl can be saved by
proper physical training from becom-
ing the American woman with nerves,
says an authority on physical culture
in the New York World.
This physical training should begin
during the earlier days of child
hood. Take girl at her fifth birth
day and teach her to run slowly, with
erect carriage, as far as she can with
comfort every secular day until she
reaches her majority. Suppose by Is
she ran as far as she could with COM
fort in ten minutes, would it trouble
her much at IS, or at 81, to run a mile,
at a good pace, too?
rs it not likely that even several
miles under favorable circumstance
for instance. in hare-and-hounds
game-would not disturb her? Had
she been taught to run properly, never
touching her heels to the ground, and
springing lightly from her toes and
sole, to hold her arms practically mo-
tionless, her chest high-as near her
chin as she could get it, and keep it
lHtlC7 GO YOU tIIlih lllil tllC IHuSClGS
she used in running through all these
years would be weak? Would she have
half-developed lungs or well-developed
ones? Would the muscles which held
her body erect be easily up to their
work, and would it be natural for her
to be erect, Or not?
Looking at the girl so trained, do
we not recall Emerson's saying that
In all human action those faculties will
be strong which are used?' She has
been intelligently using certain parts
of her body and limbs for many years;
not violently, not overriding them, but
nationally.
This built them up and made them
strong, precisely as it did for her broth
er, who ran with her in all these daily
stretches. Her most important muscle,
her heart-thus, also. trained to strong,
steady, sensible, but never violent, daily
gained steadily in quality,
strength and endurance. In short, she
has an educated heart, educated lungs,
educated limbs

Clothes cases and wardrobes are used
instead.
English

Clothes cases and wardrobes are used
instead.
A new article of bedroom furniture is
called 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 cases 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 for the waists
and little ones for the collars, ribbons,
etc, with some cubby-holes for fans,
gloves and handkerchiefs.
The panels of the upper half of the
front of the one shown was latticed
with ribbons to hold wells and other
light articles. When closed it latched
and locked with one key in the middle
and the outside OF the front was ar
ranged in beautifully carved panels in
tended to match an especially designed
chamber set.-N. Y. World.

Pearls of Great Price.

The finest pearl necklace in the world
is said to be that of Countess Henckel,
wcll-known lady in Paris society. 1t
is composed of three necklaces, each
of which was famous in its day. One
of them, known as the necklace of the
Virgin of Atoka," was sold to the coun-
tess by Spanish grandee for C 12, 600.
Another was the property of the ex-
queen of Naples, the sister of the late
Inflated empress of Austria. The third
was the celebrated necklace of ex-Em-
press Eugene, which was worn by her
on state occasions and which was sold
not long ago by firm of London jewel
ers for 100000. The value of Countess
HenclIers necklace at the present time
is estimated at 100000.

ming on the pulleys. Rivet Stats (called
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die
At each end of the lag a small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as a bridge to keep them from
sagging under the weight of the dog.
Two rivets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
ternate lag must have these strips set
in aninch so they will lap past each 9th
er and rest on a lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in the illustra-
ton.
The connection with churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by ''tumbling rod" connection, as illus
trated, or by belt on the band wheel.
The lags may be half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. AS the pitch
may need adjusting to furnish the
power needed for different kinds of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps so the elevation can be changed
at will.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Wise Hen,

Cows FOR the I<IOndike.

A man in Tacoma is preparing to
leave soon for Dawson, and will take 1875
cows with him. He will take a sled for
each COW and make them haul enough
provisions Tor the trip. He already has
about a third of his herd, and is busy
breaking them to work IN harness. He
expects to get away in few weeks. He
is positive it will be paying venture,
as fresh milk is little known article
in the Yukon. He has had no trouble SO
far in breaking his cattle, AMI talks as
though it will be no extraordinary
sight to see 1875 cows vending their way
along the mountain trails, drawing
sleds laden with hay and grain. He
will take them down the Yukonin boats,
and expects to be at the lakes as soon
as the ice breaks. He has been over the
ground, and feels confident of success.
