The Treatment of Burns.

If a persons burns are serious, says
Good Housekeeping, send for a physi-
clan. 1t is not always possible, how
ever, to secure one Immediately, and
you should be prepared to take his
place rather than let the victim suffer.
For the treatment of serious burns
nothing is superior to 'Yarnish. 1t is
very soothing, and promotes rapid
healing by excluding all air from the
burn. Apply literally and bandage
lightly. Should burn need cleans
ing, use nothing but cold water. Add
half a dozen drops OF carbolic acid
liz you have any. If no varnish is
handy, use the whites OF eggs made in
to a thin paste with flour, sweet oil,
raw (not boiled) linseed oil or glycer-
inc. Never apply a preparation which
will produce smarting sensation, no
matter how good it may be for other
purposes. In dressing a burn be sure
that the entire surface affected is
thoroughly covered. Steam and ho~
water burns are treated the same as
those produced by fire.

A DEMOCRAT SELECTED.
President Roosevelt shows That He
Intends to Favor the Best
Men for Office.

The appointment by President Roose-
welt OF a democrat to the position of
United States district Judge in Ala
bama should create no surprise. Of
course it is not to be intimated that the
president is a democrat, or that he
has a leaning toward the democratic
party, but during his entire official ca
reer he has been an uncompromising
advocate of the merit system in the
filling of official positions.
When he announced that it was his
purpose to give offices in the south to
the best men, and that he would APP
point democrats if he could not find
suitable republicans, he meant exact
ly what he said. Now, if the southern
republicans do not get offices they can
blame nobody but themselves. The
ruth is that there are few republic
ans in the south who are fit to fill high
positions. The Leader has not hest
tated in the past to condemn and crit
icise the republican party leaders in
that section. AS a rule they are moth
ing but office brokers. Their efforts
in behalf of the republican party have
not extended beyond the caucuses and
conventions. They have traded on
their ability to control delegates to ma
tlonal conventions, but when election
day came they had no votes to return.
President Roosevelt may have an.
other purpose to serve than merely
getting the best man for office. He
may be seeking to precipitate a politi-
cal revolution in the south. No mat
ter what his purpose, however, thereis
no doubt that he will be enabled to-
bring about a great change of sentl.
ment in that section by a proper exer-
clse of the power of appointment

GOOD FOR FAT AND LEAN.
Both F1eshy and Thin
Persons.

The pretty stenograppher had never
worked for a physician before, says the
Philadelphia Record, and hence. when
on the first morning office hours began
she settled back in her chair to listen
with as much interest as though she
were at a matinee.
The first patient was a young man
whose padded coat would not conceal
the narrowness of his shoulders and
the weakness of his chest. He was a
very puny young man indeed.
Doctor" he said, 81 want to get fat.
l want to resemble a manrather than
a lead pencil. l want to wear a bath
ing suit without shame"
The physician answered.: "Rise at
seven O'Clock and exercise about an
hour with chest weights and Indian
clubs. Then take a cold bath and
breakfast without coffee or tea. Dur
ing the day contrive somehow to get
a two-hours' walk and sleep at least
nine hours a night. Don't smoke. If
you follow these directions you'll gain
ten pounds in a month";"
After the thin young man had gone
a Tat young woman entered.
Doctor" she said, make me thin.
Take off most of this too solid flesh,
Let me wear a straight front like other
girls"
The doctor prescribed: "Rise at
seven O'Clock and exercise an hour.
Then take a cold bath and for breakfast
have no coffee or sweets. Get a two
hours walk during the day and sleep at
least nine hours every night. You'll
lose ten pounds a month if YOU obey
me-"
The patient left and the s]tenopra-
pher asked the doctor how it was he
prescribed for leanness and forfatness
the same thing.
Because" he said, "that thing is ex-
ercise and exercise makes you right.
1t makes you, if you are too thin

ANTITRUST REPUBLICANS.
Leader Who Strongly Favor Effective
Remedies for Oppressive
MOnOpOIies.

Senator Allison and Speaker Hender-
son, respectively the republican lead
ers of the national senate and house,
stated in their speeches at Manches.
ter that they are in favor of congress
and the state legislatures utilizing
every power for the removal of monop-
oily or its intimidation. Senator ALI
son declared that sail parties should
unite to apply every available effective
remedy for these evils when shown to
exist by means of legislation and adj
m~inistration." That is the right pol
icy, in order that the people nay have
still more positive proof that the OPP
ponents of republicanism are merely
using the trusts to aid their efforts to
deceive and mislead the voters. But
the people are higher and stronger
than all legislation, and the people are
the only power that can destroy the
trusts. Take the sugar trust as an
example to be legislated out of exist
ence by the removal of the duty on
raw sugars. What would be the result?
The trust would be given the advan-
tage of all the duties it now pays on
raw sugars, and every dollar of those
duties would go into the sugar trusts
treasury.
Speaker Henderson called attention
to the fact that the republicans of the
Fifty-siXth congress did everything
within their power to give congressthe
constitutional rights to place every
thing made by combinations on the
free list, but the effort was defeated by
the almost solid vote of the democratic
members. He does not believe that
that would be a sufficient remedy for
the trusts, but it will give the people
the proof that the republicans, are in
favor of every movement against the
trusts and combines that will compel
them to sell their products at com
petitive prices.
The trust "fad" is having the run of
the world, and trusts are much more
easily organized and maintained in Eu-
rope than in the United States. The
people Of this country have every trust
within their power, except those pro-
tected by patent rights, and can crush
all OF them by refusing to purchase
their products if they do not sell their
goods at competitive prices. This fact
must be plain to all persons who can
read and think, and the future will
demonstrate that the people crushed
the trusts by refusing to purchase
their products.-Iowa State Register.

JAPANESE RAILWAYS.
Road Are Now in Active
Operation.

Extension of the railway system in
Japan goes on uninterruptedly. The
most recent returns give the length of
the railway lines as 1855 miles-s33
miles of government and 2,S02 miles of
private railway on March 81, 1900, says
Engineering. This makes an increase
of IS miles of government and $50
miles of private railway since April
1, 1899, a length of 215 miles in all. The
principal private lines are the Nippon
railway, mileage, S57 miles; Kyushu
railway, mileage, 27O miles; Sanyo rail
way, mileage, $50 miles; Hokkaido Tan
ko railway, mileage, 2O7 miles.

constructed in Japan, the United King
dom will benefit by supplying the fit

FEW ITALIAN DoMEsTICs.
There Is No Tendency Among Them
to Take Up Household Service
for q Livelihood.

"Why is it," was asked of a re-
sponsible Italian resident, says the
Chicago Daily News, chat, notwith-
standing the continued demand for
good housemaids, the girls of your
country rarely take up a life of do
nestle service upon coming to Ameri-
ca? Irish, German, Swedish, Scotch,
English and all other fair races of
northern Europe send household SER

of an occasional French goyerness,
nursery maid or cook, one hardly
ever sees a oma of Latin origin
in a mental position in the American
home"
81 don't know how to account for
it," he answered, "except on the
ground of there being fewer unmar-
ried women among Italian immi-
grants. The young women of north
ern Europe do not hesitate to come
to America alone in search of work
or of adventure, but Italian girls are
less daring. Single men or the
fathers of families may come out
alone, but unmarried girls, v
Observe the young married couples,
too. The husbands, as you see, will
work at anything they can get to do,
breaking stone or digging streets, but
they keep their small homes jealous
ly. Neither wives, sisters nor daugh-
tiers are eve seen out of the home to
engage in any employment that takes
them away from the family circle for
more than ten hours out of the "a.
1t is true hat a few take up the
nor quickly acquired trades after
coming here, and Invariably they are
found to be quick, reliable and indus
trious, but the italian immigrant is
especially alert in all that concerns
the welfare of his women folks and is
averse to sending them into the un-
known world of strange houses in a
strange land.
But, for that matter, even in Italy
the natives do not take as naturally
to domestic service as do the poorer
classes in more northerly countries.
They like the independent money
earning, such as pursuing small
crafts in the home, peddling, etc.,
and when the women immigrants set
about to earn a living in America
they take to hawking small wares
from door to door, or to accompany
ing husband or some female friend
with a hand organ through the city
streets or suburbs, in preference to
an occupation that separates them
from their families. You seldom or
never e them going about singly,
and rarely does an italian, man or
woman, resort to dishonesty or trick
cry to make a livelihood. 1t is true
that the men often discover a tend
ency to speculation, and even to gam
bling, as soon as a little money has
been saved.
"The race is absolutely metamor-
phosed in the second generation, but
there is no tendency in it toward
household service as a means of earn
ing money. 1t almost invariably EN-
ploys itself in clerking, in metal
work, engraving and cutting of pre-
cious stones and other industrial
lines. This, 1 take it, is to be ac-
counted for by the remarkable zest
with which the Italians assimilate the
free educational advantages here"
