saw her again praying for the man
who had not condescended to accept
her good wishes.
In the old days he had often smiled
at her earnestness, and called her a
little Puritan; in later times he had
ragged at her as a hypocrite.
Do hypocrites look like that?
What did it matter what he called
her? His one wish now was that she
should know that he died blessing her.
With infinite difficulty he found his
pocketbook and wrote her name on the
fyleaf His hand trembled before
the pencil slipped from his grasp he
scrawled feebly, God bless you, Eva"
The orderly brought bundle Of let
ters into the shed which had been
hastily converted into hospital. The
men crowded eagerly round him; even
Captain Humphrey, who was danger
ously" wounded, turned an anxious
face toward the messenger.
The captain recognized the shape
and color of the envelope that was
brought to his bedside; the handwrit-
ing. too, was familiar. 1t was Eva
Austin's.
Now that l am happily married
must free my conscience and tell you
our secret. Think as badly of me as
as you can. Eva sacrificed herself for
me. l told her that l cared for you,
that is why she wrote that letter. At
terward, when she was i'll, sent back
your letters without her knowledge
The lines jumped up and down be-
fore the sick mans eyes; he read on:
EVA wanted to put things right be-
tween you and me; that is why she
sent for me before you left. Didn't
you guess? She found out her mis-
take before you came and took all the
blame on herself to shield me. You
will never forgive me, l shouldn't, but
| can't bear to think that you are still
misjudging her."
"Wfll he pull through, doctor?"
asked young officer that night He
it was who had found the captain
and brought him into shelter.
Pull through? Yes, now his minds
at rest"
whats he been worrying about?"
"What do we all worry about, eh?"
The officer did not answer-he
wasn't going TO tell his secrets to the
willy doctor.
The first night he wanted to risk
his life writing or debating letters
home. Now, l think he's satisfied
with the news that today's mail
brought him. Look ct him.

whisper; "and say, doctor, he's got

SHOP TREATMENT or BuPNs.


In foundries, blacksmith shops and
other places where workmen are liable
to suffer severe burns, it is well to
keep on hand preparation whi viii
give relief as promptly as possible.
The American Machinist reproduces
some advice on this point from the
columns of foreign publication, La
Chronique Industrieke. On account
of the lannate of iron il certain kinds
of ink, it is common to apply this
fluid in emergencies, but the practice
is open to objection. While the tan
nate may do good, it is often associat-
ed with impurities which are likely
to work harm. 1t is better to have
something like one of these five prep
arations:
Cocaine pomatum. On the burned
region is applied the following: Hy-
drochlorate OF cocaine, 1 gramme; aris
tol (biniodic thermoD, grammes;
olive oil, 20 grammes; lanoline, rs
grammes. Repeat the application
every two hours until the pain is sup
pressed.
Oleo-calcis-carbonate liniment: Hy-
drafted quicklime (slaked lime) 100
granmes; powdered sugar, 200
grammes; glycerine, 200 grammes;
water 1000 grammes; add to 100
grammes Of the above mixture 200
grammes of arachic acid and agitate
them in a large mouthed flask Thus
you obtain a liniment having consid-
cradle constituency which can adyan-
tageously be used for dressing burns,
of which 1t hastens and regularizes
healing.
Another linlment: Slaked lime, 20
grammes; powdered sugar, 40
grammes; distilled water, 20 grammes;
glycerine, 40 grammes. Leaves Of cot
ton wadding are moistened with the
mixture and applied upon the regions
of the burns.
Another liniment: Lime water and
linseed oil, each so grammes. Mix by
agitating. A compress saturated with
this mixture is applied to the burn.
This is covered with other cold COM
presses, and If need be with q rubber
bag of ice.
New remedy: This is a remedy
which advantageou.ly replaces t2e old
formulas. 1t is employed at tie Hes
pital st. Louis. When any one is
burned from whatever cause, immedi-
ately apply congresses kept constant
ly moistened with the following solu-
ton Picric acid, 10 grammes; water.
1000 grammes. The pain will gradu-
ally become less acute and the slough
which may form will be driven off.
The yellow stains OF picric acid may be
removed with carbonate of lithia.

Desks with Hiding Places.

A desk manufacturer says that in
the last year he has received more or
ders for desks with hidden springs
and secret compartments than in the
10 preceding years put together Some
of them nave intricate mechanism, and
by pushing secret buttons the walls
are made to fly open and narrow crew
ices are revealed.
AS to the cause for this new demand
for hidden hooks and crannies in desks
he is able to give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. It would seem, however,
that the man OF affairs finds himself
the possessor of secrets so grave that
not even the stenographer is allowed
to share them and that the common
roll top desk is forced to give way to
the intricate, many panelled contriv-
ance which alone is able to hide i'm
portant papers from the prying eyes
of clerks and ONCE boys.
Accepting this theory rs plausible"
said the manufacturer, at would logi-
cally follow that women are burde1ed
with more than their share of secrets
for fully two-thirds Of these combina-
ton desks are intended for female
customers. Why they are going to
take the pains of locking up incrim-
mating documents while their tongues
are still at liberty is another puzzle.
but then the fad savors of the mystic
rious all the way through, and the
feminine phase of the situation is in
keeping with tho rest of the circum-
stances. New York Sun.

Gutta Percha Getting Scarce.

Counsel Atwell OF Rouba.x writes
that the scientists in France are now
engaged upon the problem Of acclima-
thing the Isonandra gutta, the tree
which produces gutta-percha, indis-
pensable to the construction of subma-
rine cables. 1t seems that no other
product known at present replaces the
gutta-percha found in the forests of
The Malay Peninsula and in certain
districts in Malacca. Inferior quail
ties have not the requisite durability
for submarine G2e. The plantations
in the above mentioned districts have
been so ruiniousiy exploited by the ma
tives, who uproot fullgrown trees and
cut young plants before they come to
maturity, that it is feared that there
will be shortage in the supply of this
quality Of gntt3-percha in the course Of
Is years, unles9 means are taken to
protect the foseg,5 or to propagate the
plants els where.

A certain little city in Illinois has
suffered SO much from the poison ivy
that its city council has empowered
one of its officials to hire a force of
men whose special duty it shall be
to rid The community of the pest. 1t
is said that at one time there were
900 cases of vy-poisoaing in the
place.
1t seems strange that any commun-
ity should suffer to such an extent
from carse that may be so easily
avoided. 1t is, of course, the poison
Gus vines resemblance to the Vir-
ginia creeper that makes the trouble.
and yet a mere glance at it ought to
show the difference, for the creeper
has clusters of five leaves while the
ivy has clusters of three Besides,
the creeper bears purple berries, while
those Of the ivy are white.
The best way to get rid of ivy
which grows and runs rapidly, and is
very tenacious OF life-ls to pull il
up by the roots and burn it in a
field. There are some people that are
not poisoned by it, and the work
should be done by them; and even
they should handle the plant as little
as possible, and avoid inhaling the
smoke when they burn it. They
should wear special clothing for the
work, and wash the hands several
times @ day in solution of sugar Of
lead in weak grade of alcohol. cay,
60 to IS percent proof. This solution
may also be used with good effect by
those that have been poisoned by the
vine.-PhilaGe,phi Record

Conscientious parents realize it Is
necessary to encourage good impulses
and also to train the child's moral
nature through the education of his
faculties; but 1t is hard to convince
them that in respect of those venial
faults most children exhibit quite ear
ly neglect is better policy than disci-
pline.
Many times child who accidentally
finds naughtiness an interesting ex-
pertinent would quickly weary of it
If it were not for the commotion it
makes in the family. To become an
offender is to become important, and
nothing is more agreeable to young or
old than that. One is liable in times
of tedium TO attract attention in some
way, even if it involves making ones
self odious. The desire for notoriety
is in it's incipient form, simply 4 de-
termination to become the centre OF
something, and children show it as
often and even more frankly than
their elders.
Is it not then desirable to make a
childs small attempts at intractabili-
ty dull affairs to him, so that he shall
forget them? Every act that we re-
member well we incline to do again..
and the best thing that can happen to
children is to have all their good acts
marked by red letters, while their
minor offenses are dropped into the
gulf of getfulness.-Florence Hull
