TREATMENT OF WOUNDS
BENEFITS OF THE USE OF ANTI
SEPTIcs SHOWN.
An Interesting Paper by Major La
Garde, Showing Decreased Rate
Of Mortality in Warfare.

Maj. L. A. La Garde of the medical de-
partment, on duty at the Soldiers Home,
has prepared an interesting paper showing
the great benefits of antiSeptic treatment of
wounds to prevent blood poison, demon
strated in recent wars, including the Span
ish war and the insurrection in the Philip
pines, as compared with the treatment of
wounds minus antiseptics, which obtained
generally throughout the civilized world
during and prior to the civil war.
During the civil war the mortality from
large caiber wounds was 53.7 per cent and
the recovery was 1853 per cent. The anti
septic treatment was first introduced on a
large scale during the Russo-Turkish war,
1St7-1S. During that conflict the mortality
from large caliber wounds was Ill per
cent and the recovery $50 per. cent
The records of the surgeon generals office
since 1898 show that with the antiseptic
treatment the mortality from various cali
Der wounds was per cent and the recovery
81 per cent. Regarding the Santiago cam
paign of 1885, when arms of reduced caliber
were used, and antisepsis further developed
the record shows a clean score of 100 per
cent recovery. In the matter of these last
cases 1876 per cent were reported fit for
duty and 264 per cent unfit for duty.
Referring to these statistics, Maj. La
Garde says it will be seen: % that the NOR
tality from gunshot injury of the knee
joint in the civil war was 53.1 per cent, and
as amputation was universally done, all
those who recovered escaped with the loss
of limb, unfit for duty; ca that 33 cases
of gunshot wounds of the knee produced by
the larger caliber lead bullet in campaign,
reported by Reyher and Won Bergman
(this being the first formal attempt to
antiseptics in war;, give a mortality of Ill
per cent; go that 81 cases produced by
variety of missiles reported by the surgeon
general since 1898, similarly treated, gave
mortality of per cent, and that 45.G per
cent of those who recovered were restored
to duty; 4) that 10 cases in the Santiago
campaign by the reduced caliber bullet the
the wounded recovered fit for duty. 1t Is
thus seen that the humane features of the
reduced-calber bullet have operated not
only in diminishing the mortality from gun
shot injuries of the knee from about
IL per cent to nil but that 1t has increased
rest orations to duty 2S per cent.

LOST BILL DOUBLED ITSELF
Wonderful Story of the Portly Man

He was portly and prosperous, an alIiter-

TRAVELLING DAIRY SCHOOL.
Enterprise Made Successful by Wo.
man.

From the New York Tribune
The province Of Novia Scotia, the ancient
land of Evangeline has been trying to i'm
prove its butter this summer by means of
a travelling dairy school. The school is in
charge Of woman, Miss Laura Rose of
the Guelph Agricultural College, and has
been great success. Every farmers wife
who can possibly do so attends 1t when It
stops in her neighborhood, and an officer
of local agricultural society said that
Miss Rose did more in two days visit TO
his part Of the country than could have
been effected by Yeas of incessant writing
in agricultural papers, instructions from
butter dealers and public lectures.
Miss Rose travels with her dairy in
big covered wagon, taking with her from
town to town a couple of churns, q sepa-
rator, butter worker, a milk tester, tin
ware, salt, butter, color and in fact,
everything which is necessary for the
manufacture of frst-class butter, except
the cream. which is supplied by the agri-
cultural societies. She did the same work
for the province of Cape Breton last sum-
mer, and her dairy school is unique in
Canada. There have been other travelling
diaries, it is true, but the instruction has
heretofore been given by means of demon
StratorS, which are never so satisfactory
1t Is said as work actually done by the
pupils themselves.

THE STRENGTH OF ROME.
Empire More Limited in Extent Than
Generally Supposed.
From the Contemporary Review.

From the Contemporary Review.
Rome was much more limited in extent
and power than is generally supposed. The
city which holds sway over every land and
sea- is a mere hyperbole, nothing more.
Three thousand miles by 1900 was the ut
most extent to which 1t ever attained. The
most cool headed and astute of empcrors
was not slow to recognize that extent of
territory did not make for the strength and
stability of the empire. The real strength
of Rome was confined to the fringe Of the
Mediterranean. AS a matter of fact, neither
Greek nor Rome civilization ever did pene-
trate much beyond those fertile shores.
From the day that Hanno, the Cartha-
gilman, defied the Romans to as much as
wash their hands in the sea to that on
which the empire Of the east engaged
Genoese ships and seamen to chase the
Turks out Of the Bosphorus the Romans
proved contemplate sailors. And universal
sway in the domain either of politics or
commerce has never yet been held by
race which shrank from the perils and
hardships Of the sea. 1t is only the master
of the sea, runs the ancient maxim, VINO
will acquire the dominion of the land.
Deprived of all rights and privileges
hampered and restricted In every way
which malice and jealousy could devise, the
Cartha ginians proved more than match
in trade and commerce for their relentless
Roman masters and continued so to do till
the Romans annhileted them Not with
out good cause was 1t that Cato declared
Carthage must be razed, and the plow-
share run over Its site. The commercial
supremacy Of Corinth, too, determined the
Romans to wreak destruction on that brill
liant center Of light and leading; while 1t
was observed with grim humor that many
of the Greek cities prospered apace In vtr
tue of the fact that they produced wealth
more rapidly than their Roman masters
could consume It,

DIGGING FOR BLACK JACK
This is the Ruling Passion of South
western Missouri.
From the Danville dn.) News.

From the Danville dll.) News
Assistant States Attorney Acton, who
returned Saturday from southwestern Mis-
souri,, where he visited relatives says that
the people there do very little else than
dig for black jack" On every farm there
are "diggins,' and the whole family work
at the windlass and in the hole in the
ground. Very few of these "diggins' ever
produce any black jack" but the people
dig away, weeks and months, in the hope
that they might strike 1t rich some time
The prairies are full of holes, some of which
are $50 feet deep. When "diggirs'' are
abandoned the hole is never filled up nor
covered over, and why more people do not
ral into them Is one of the mysteries Of
the lead section Of southwestern Missouri
In digging the people there do not make
such as is employed by coal operators to
hoist with, but provide themselves with a
windlass, rope and bucket. Two men work
IN the hole while others separate the wind
hole both men grasp hold Of the rope, enc
standing on one side of the bucket and the
other on the other. Sometimes one Ct the
men slips or loses his balance and tum-
bies to the bottom Of the shaft, and when
one falls to his death the other usually
meets with a similar accident, for the
bucket turns over. Mr.. Acton was invited
to descend on one Of these buckets, but he
could see all he cared to gaze at on the
top Of the ground.
When person in southwestern Mis-
} souri, takes a notion to open a "diggins"
he Is apt to do 1t with a suddenness that
surprises an eastern or northern gentle
man. One man built blacksmith shop
and. finding business a little dull one day
closed the doors to the public and started
to dig for black jack, using the shop for a
covering and protection for his ''diggins."
One persevering man struck black tack
in considerable quantities after he and his
family had worked industrfously at the
''diggins" for several weeks, but he re-
fused $4oo for the find. He exposed to
get an inexhaustible supply Of the metal
but 1t gave out and the hole had to be
abandoned. He was the sickest man In the
black jack region when Mr. Acton was
there.
A PERSONS prosperity in southwestern
Missouri is measured not by lands cattla
sheep or horses. money or anything of the
kind. but by the success he has in his
''diggins." II he has struck plenty of black
Jack he Is all right with the people.

Famous Theater Site.
From the London Chronicle


For Her henceforward read His"
Majesty's Theater. The change is made
with the sanction of the king, that the
handsome house built five years ago for
Mr.. Tree is again identified with the reign
ing sovereign. Possibly the title THE
Kings Theater'' would have been reverted
to but for the fact that Immediately after
King Edwards accession the name was
appropriated for an establishment in course
of erection. The present His Majesty's"
is the fourth theater that has occupied vir-
tually the same ground. Firstly, In 1105
there was the Queens Theater, or Opera
House" Quilt by Vanbrugh), which quar-
ter of century later became THE Kings
Theater,' and for a time was directed by
Handel. When destroyed by fire~fn 1879 it
was replaced by another Kings Theater."
With Queen Victoria came the alteration of
title to Her Majesty's Theater," and the
same name was given by Mapleson to the
theater built in 1853 and demolished in
1892. More numerous have been the sites

Persian Manners.
From the London Chronicle.

The shah has left behind him a number Of
agreeable or neutral memories. but has
contributed nothing to the legend Of extrav-
agant sayings and doings which his father
set up. He has not asked the Prince o,
Wales why he has not cut off the heads of
the most aspiring noblesse; he has kept
awake whenever he was being entertained.
even in only the formal sense of that word
which Is usually very different from that Of
being amused. Above all, the ruling shah
has had no opportunity of showing to the
queen that particular form of homage which
his father offered to Queen Victoria, II
was at a meal, and the shah, having begun
to suck a stick of asparagus handed it to
her amazed majesty to finish, as a sign of
particular fraternal amity.
Here perhaps We find the first break in
a tradition Of Persian politeness which
stretches from the days when Herodotus
was writing Of the struggle between Persia
and Greece. Herodotus relates that when
the great king found dish that was TO
his liking he sent the remnant to a fayorite
courtier with the mess\ge that 1.-THE great
king has enjoyed this and wishes that you.
