2oSebery's Sensational Speech Created Much Comment.
LORD ROBERTS IS THE HERO
The Past Week in Great Britain Has Been One ofMany Changes, Open ing With Defeat and End

London, February 1S-A week that open ed with the news of General Buffers re- treat, and the consequent gloomy forecasts regarding the entire phase of the war, but closed with the relief of Kimberley and the general belief that the turning point of the campaign has been reached. scarce. ly admits of any other topic. Quite natu-. rally, the news from the front is jwbilantly told and retold until subsidiary matters of interest, such as parliamentary proceed angs, secure but passing notice. Of these the most notable was Lord Rosebery's viv id analysis of Great Britains isolation.
 The new military programme which was borne this week has droned along toward enactment, being accepted more in the Night of makeshift than anything else, and is quite overshadowed by the former premier's remarks, though his pessimistic views were discounted by the almost sim ultaneous publication or Lord Roberts success
 The manner in which Lord Rosebery de- livered his remarkable oration was unu- sually theatrical, and in other respects sa- vored of an appeal to the gallery, giving MT. A. J. Balfour, the government leader in the house of commons, the opportunity the following day to criticise the ex-pre- mier with unusual bitterness upon his ''tones of trembling emotion" Yet Lord Rosebery voiced what is undoubtedly the predominant opinion of Great Britain. But though he may have the majority behind him in his pessimism, it does not follow that Lord Rosebery's deductions are cor rect

BANDAGEs OF PULP.
Their Ready Application is Only One
of the Many Advantages
They Possess.

A United States naval surgeon advo-
Gates the substitution of wood pulp
sheets for faxseed meal, etc, in max
ing poultices, says the Philadelphia
Record. He cuts a sheet of the pulp
to a size approximate to the surface to
be covered, soaks the sheet in hot wa
ter until it has become thoroughly
softened, then wrings it out. very light
ly, and applies. The wood pulp sheet
will absorb and hold from four to five
times its weight of water, and, since
heat and moisture are the desiderata
in poultices, this furnishes them in
simple, clearly form. No cloths are
needed, no cooking, no stirring and
spreading on cloth, just soaking in
hot water. And the incest part is the
total absence of the mess inevitable to
making flaxseed meal pouItices, al
though there is, too, great economy
OF time and trouble. 1t is sometimes
advisable to put piece of oiled muslin
over the sheet to help to retain the
heat and moisture.
When the "poultice" begins to gel
cold take it off, wiring out the water
and soak it again in hot water, and sc
on indefinitely. The surgeon has USED
the same sheet of pulp wood for two
days poulticing, in the hands of an ig
norant man at that, his instruction.
to him being ito soak the plaster in ho-
water whenever it got cold, and put i
on again."
By the way, every physician who hal
had the annoyance and trouble of be
ing'compelled to leave an all-importan
matter of poulticing to an ignoran
person will appreciate way that will
allow no loophole for mistakes anC
J failures.
