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
a pad, which must be removed if in
t1ammation ensues to allow the dis
charge to escape. A wound caused by
a rusty nail or 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 a
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 is ap-
piled medicated cotton only should be
used,

Clothes cases and wardrobes 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 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.

Stand UD to Fit q Shoe.

"People would find less difficulty with
ready-made Shoes" said the expert
enced salesman, "if they would stand
up to fit them on instead of sitting
down. Nine persons out of ten, partic-
ularly women, want a comfortable
chair while they are fitting shoe, and
it is with the greatest difficulty you can
get them to stand for few minutes,
even after the shoe is fitted. Then,
when they begin walking about they
wonder why the shoes are not so COM
Portable as they were at first trial. A
woman's foot is considerably smaller
when she sits in chair than when she
walks about. Exercise brings larger
quantity of blood into the feet, and they
swell appreciably. The muscles, also,
require certain space. In buying shoes
this fact should be borne in mind.''

TEACH HER TO RUN.
The American Girl Should Be Sys-
tematically Trained in This
Healthful 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 a 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 1S, or at 21, to run mile,
at a good pace, too?
"Is it not likely that even several
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
there-do you think that the muscles
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?
Hooking 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
exercise-gained steadily in quality,
strength and endurance. In short, she
has an educated heart, educated lungs,
educated limbs.'

CHAPTER VII.
A SINGED PATRIOT.

After being driven from one street to an
other by the scorching of the advancing
flames, 1 finally turned into an alley and
stood partly protected against the baking
radiation by the corner of a building.
BetwNt the heat of the day, the fire, the
smoke, and my fruitless exertions, was as
wet as though fresh from the river, as black
as coal burner, and not in the fairest of
humors. My coat and hat (my best ones,
too) were burned by falling embers, and the
sword had forgotten to put off was hot to
the touch and bothered my legs exceedingly
Ny eyes burned as though peppered and
the roar of the mad element, the falling of
walls, the crashing of breaking timbers were
at times well-nigh deafening. Blasting hot
draughts drove down the way, and suffo-

street as though pushed from behind by

This recipe is for small family, but
the quantity of material can be doubled

seemed to know me and strain at the cabla
like high-mettled steed that only needed
the word to take the bit and be off. Rusty
she was, and foul besides, but, rusty and foul,
she could outpoint half his majesty's heavy
going cruisers, and waved my hand at her
as l would have done to my lady had one,
swearing to give the word ere that day fort
night.
How little knew we would both be well
tried by then!
I waved my hand to her and turned to 60,
when my eye caught huge coil of black
smoke rising from near the rivers edge far
down the city. That it was fire on shore
made out at glance, nor did give it more
t;an passing notice until, on entering the
srreets again, became aware of the con-
course pouring in that direction. Soldiers
by companies, disarmed and bearing buckets,
were hurrying toward the conflagration, but
not until reaching the Kings Arms and as
cending to the fine cupola that surmounted
it did I know that the fire was of vast ex-
tent. And even as looked it spread from
house to house, threatening to assume the
proportions of the great scourge of two years
tefore.
Now with interest we'll sharpened made
haste to get to the scene of the burning and
be of use-a thing not so easy to do, owing
tc the press of mass of people who stood
cbout useless and curious, watching the play
of the great sheets of fame, and giving ex-
ercise to their voices when their hands might
have been of better service.
I soon saw, however, that there was no
organized effort to suppress the flames. and
without order my arm was no better than
the weakest. But of this second mighty fire

hundred buildings were destroyed, I have lit.

will of God to vouchsafe me.

smoke and dashed against and then passed
me, reeling from the blow and staggering
into the recess behind.

had been going nearly took me off my legs,
and had barely recovered my balance when
dozen armed soldiers ran by, shouting and
swearing, as though in chase. With the last

Conceiving that I had caught thief, a
ransacker of deserted houses, if not an in

drag him forth for delivery to his pursuers,
hut the fellow dealt me so smart blow in
the face that for second it caused me to see
lights.
I was in the mood to cuff him into insen-
sibility, and might have done so had he not
spoken, or rather gasped:
"'Fore God, I thought you redcoat, and
tried to vex you into killing me! If you have
the heart of man, do not deliver me to them
aGain!"
"Who are you?" demanded, loosening my
hold and trying to get at his features through
the black that covered them, though 1 made
out no more than that part of his face was
overgrown by young beard well singed, the
rest being so grimed that he might have worn
mask and been no safer from recognition.
"On your mercy, then" he answered; ian

"From where?"
"The den lies in the heart of the fire by
this" And rolling up his eyes, the whites
of which showed pitifully against his burned
skin, he hesitated, and then broke out again:
'What is it to you who or what I am? If
you love justice or hope for it yourself, let
Inc go!"
"Come, then," said I, softened more by his
manner than his worlds, 1--WE will roast here
IN three minutes. Let US get into better air"
So, taking him by the arm, I led him into the
street, where the smoke was so dense that
it became necessary to grope ones way.
Once we were in danger of suffocation, but
the wind whirled aloft the thick muck for
an instant, and gradually we worked to q
