scars tell which way his face was turned
when the bullets were flying the thickest
and danger was the most imminent. That
he ever survived the gunshot wounds he
received on the famous battlefield Of
Chickamsuga is q wonder almost beyond
conception. Mr.. Wright's first wound was
received in the battle OF Shiloh, when he
was slot through the right leg Just above

AT Baton Rouge he was shot through
the hips from the right to the left side
This wound has always been a source Of
trouble and continues TO cause him much
pain

fight at Chickamaugs. and it was here
that, as the result OF voliey of shots

wounds. the scar OF each shot being still

The trouble is said to have arisen since
the introduction of the new method of

current that is responsible for the snap

usually follow pressing the receiver to

HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS.
How to Treat Slight Cuts and
Scratches and Reduce Pain Result
ing from Burns.

There are some accidents which are
almost unavailable in tho hurry nec-
essary in housework. Burns and cuts
which are trivial in themselves, but if
unattended to may lead to serious re-
suits, are familiar occurrence in the
kitchen. Slight cuts may be serious
if they are not purified by dipping in
some antiseptic preparation. The
best and safest to use in the house
is a two per cent. solution of car
bolic acid. It is not in the least dan
gerous, as it is diluted. but it should
be kept with the other medicines in a
cabinet or high shelf of closet. All
that is necessary is to pour little of
the solution over the wound or dip
it in and then wrap it up with clean
cloths. The wound will heal much
more rapidly than if it were exposed
to air and the danger of disease germs.
A scratch from a cat or some other
trivial wound, which child or grown
person may receive, should be cauter-
lied mildly by winding cloth dipped
in ammonia around it, or by the use
of the carbolic solution.
The best remedy for burn is sweet
oil and lime water, but if this is not
at hand use a paste of baking soda
and water or of -four and water.
which may be applied more quickly.

ment of friends. First obtain smooth
head of -four or sugar barrel, and
see that the pieces are all fastened
together, forming circular board, or
any smooth board about a square foot
in size will serve the purpose.
Procure ten coat hooks of medium
size and secure them into the board,
arranging them as shown in the ac-
companying illustration, and mark
above each hook its number, ranging
from No. to No. 10. A hole may be
made in the upper end of the board
or screw-eye inserted, by which to
hang it upon the nail in the wall.
No. 10 is a sort of ''bull's-eye," and
each player, being given three of the
rubber rings, takes turns in throwing
them from a position about ten feet
away, endeavoring to hook as many
on the board as possible. A score is
kept of the points gained by each
player, the one first getting 100 points
being the winner. However, exactly
100 points must be made. For in
stance, if player has 80, he has to
work for Hook No. !, as any other
hook would carry him over the mark.
This difficulty add to the interest OF
the game. - s z..
An advantage Of the game is that
no noise is made nor damage done by
the rings. and it may be improvised
by any boy or girl.-St. Louis Globe.

PONY KILLS A SNAKE.
just in the Nick of Time San Jose
Appeared and Saved the Lives
of Three Children.

A California farmer who has three
small children owns pony called San
Jose, which is their constant COM
panion. They have ridden him, rolled
over him, fed him and pulled his ears,
and evidently consider him one of the
family. Even if the children went
on an expedition when they did not
want to ride, San Jose went along as
though he had been pet dog. One
day the three children went on a
nutting expedition, and while they
gathered the nuts the pony wandered
around and grazed. Suddenly, almost
beneath the feet of the nut gatherers,
there was on ominous whirr, and they
saw with horror a huge rattlesnake
coiled and ready to strike. The chill
dren clustered together with white
faces, too terrified to move, but as
the deadly head went back there was
a quick trample of hoofs, rush
through the bushes, and San Jose
leaped into the ring. With his four
little sharp hoofs brought together he
shot up into the air, landed square
on the snakes coil and was off again
before the wicked head could strike.
The interruption had released the
frightened children from the charm,
and they ran short distance away
and stopped to witness the fight. The
rattler was wounded, but full of fight,
and coiled again, and again the pony
landed and got away safely. This
time the body was nearly severed in
two places, and the snake was done
for. San Jose paved over the quiver-
ing coil with one fore foot. gave q
cheerful whinny and returned to his

NATURE KIND IN CALIFORNIA
A Country Where the Farmer Is Not
Subjected to the Rigors of Sc
we're Weather..

The New England farmer must for.
tify himself in his stronghold against
the seasons. He must be ready to
adapt himself to a year that permits
him to prosper only upon decidedly
hard terms. But the Californian in
the country has, during the drought,
more leisure, unless, indeed, his ambi-
tion for wealth too much engrosses
him, says the international Monthly.
His horses are plenty and cheap. His
fruit crops thrive easily. He is able
to supply his table with fewer pur-
chases with less commercial .inde-
pendence. His position is, therefore
less that of the knight in his castle
and! more that of the free dweller in
the summer cottage, who is, indeed,
not at leisure, but can easily deter
mine how he shall be busy. It is of
little Importance to him who his next
neighbor is: At pleasure he can ride
or drive to find his friends; can
choose, like, the southern planter Of
former days, his own range of hos
pitality; can devote himself, if man
of cultivation, to reading during a
good many hours at his own choice,
or, if a man of sport, can find during
a great part of the year easy oppor-
tunities for hunting or for camping
both by himself and for the young
people of his family. ~ ..

There is nothing that will keep the
feet in better condition than lemons.
4 friend thus speaks in their favor:
my feet, from long continued stand
ing, had become covered with corns and
callouses. Not only my toes, but the
bottoms of my feet were so tender
I could not stand upon them without
pain. I tried every remedy suggested,
but without relief. One day, lemon
juice was spoken Of as being worth a
trial. Lemon juice is good for the
hands and face, why not for the feet, I
thought. So I purchased a lemon, and
explicitly followed directions. ~
st cut it in halves and gave my feet
a lemon bath, rubbing the pieces thor
oughly over every callous and corn. !

they soon discovered little, halt

was soon snuggled down asleep.
From that time on Choppie became
the constant companion of Louise.
