Bruises.

For an ordinary bruise such as re-
suits from an i'll directed hammer or
from door shutting on ones finger
use mild astringent of some sort,
such as witch hazel or vinegar. Keep
the bruise constantly wet until the
pain ceases, using a bandage of old
muslin for wrapping. If the pain is
very intense. laudanum may be added.
After the pain has ceased and only dis
coloration and swelling remain to tell
the tale it is good plan to apply
stimulating liniment. This induces an
extra flow of fresh blood to the spot.
In the case OF a severe bruise the sup
ply of blood to the injured part must
be lessened by elevating it above the
heart and applying cold water or even
ice.
OF course when the bruise, or contu-
sion rather, is of such moment house
remedies should be INDUCED in only
while waiting for doctor, truth that
necessarily applies to all the various
emergencies that arise. In cases of Sc
we're burns physicians are often ham,
pered by the home remedies that cover
the burns and hide the real extent Of
the injury.

HARD TO PURCHASE.
The Peculiar Red Ribbon of the
French Legion of Honor.

The peculiar red ribbon which men,
bers of the Legion of Honor of France
are entitled to wear is TO be had. In
New York at one establishment, which
is naturally sought out by Americans
honored with this decoration. But
they never have the satisfaction of get
ting the ribbon until the firm that has
the exclusive sale Of it has received
official notice that the persons applying
have the right to display it.
II know it," said one Of the clerks
the other day TO a would be purchaser
Of the ribbon. Il know that you are a
member of the legion and have a right
TO buy the ribbon, because | read your
name in the paper and know who you
are. But we have not received official
notification of your appointment and
you have not your diploma. So l could
not sell you any of it.
1--WE had TO make this rule first be-
cause the French government required
it of us when we received the agency,
but we also realize the necessity of 1t.
All kinds of persons who have no right
to this ribbon try to get hold of it. All
of them pretend when they find that
we sell it only TO persons entitled to
wear it either that they are members
of the legion or that they are buying it
on behalf of persons who do belong to
the order. The ribbon is not like any
other, and we know that if any of this
ribbon is bought in New York that it
comes from us. For that reason we are
particular TO the extent of requiring
documentary proof from every appli-
cant unless we have received official
notification OF his right to wear it,
