brook near Oakland Beach, r. L., when
l saw large snake with half masti-
Gated trout in its mouth. The action
of the snake interested me, and, stand

sharp bany growth shaped like hook.

placed the grasshopper carefully on

tail.
"By this time my curiosity was thor

man. The snake crawled up on log

brook and let its tail hang into the wa

After n battle.


In the first aid that is rendered en-
the fielG after a battle nothing is at
tempted beyond the arrest of hemor-
rhage, the application Of temporary
splints for fractures and antiseptic
dressing. There is no washing or eN-
ploration of wounds The clothes are
merely slit up with scissors, not re-
moved, thus insuring protection to the
patients body and saving unnecessary
disturbances. The sergeant in charge
of the collection station has field
companion, a water bottle and small
reserve of bandages and first dress
ings in his care to replenish the sur
gical haverSacks with which the bear
ers are supplied
Triangular bandages are chiefly used
on the battlefield. made from So inch
square of linen or calico, cut diagonal
ly into halves. Almost anything that
comes to hand may be used as impro-
yised splints- sticks. telegraph wire,
bark of trees. straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The Splint. If neces-
sary, is padded with straw or leaves
or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldiers equipment or
with strips of shirt. securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound
up with the rifle splint, a wounded
man is made so secure that he can
hardly move muscle one leg is
firmly bound to the rifle and the an
kles are tied together. so that the in
jured limb Is almost as rigid as the
rifle at its side-London Standard.
