HOW TO TREAT A SEVERE CUT.

In the February Pearson's some
most excellent advice is given by an
Ambulance expert in an article en-
Titled 'In Case of an Accident" as tc
what to do in case of emergency
while waiting for physician. The
following suggestion in regard to the
treatment of cuts is very practical
and should be read with care. Cuts
lneed the very promptest attention:
| Pressure is the only remedy for
bleeding, pressure between the
wound and the heart.
1t is important to know if the blood
is flowing from an artery or from a
vein, for if the former is the case it
is a matter of life and death to act
promptly and efficiently. Blood from
an artery is light red color and comes
in jerks; from vein it is dark pur-
pie and simply oozes forth.
Fingers first" is the golden rule
when an artery is cut, and with fin
gers and thumbs the flow from the
artery, between the wound and the
heart, must be absolutely stopped.
Then tourniquet must be applied,
an arrangement consisting first of a
pad to press on the artery, a band
age over the pad, and some means,
such as a stick, with which the band
ages may be twisted up so tightly
that the artery is firmly compressed.
A piece of cork, a fiat stone, any,
thing hard, will serve as a pad IN
emergency, and for a bandage, a
handkerchief, a belt, a tie-almost
anything will do. Looping the ends
Of the bandage outside the knot, a
stick is passed through the loop ana
twisted round and round, just suff-
GENTLY to stop the bleeding, not a |
whit more.

WIN SUCCESS AS HoUsEkEEPER
Some Sound Advice Given to Women
by Mrs. Marietta Holyday Gibson.

|
In a recent number of the New York
Daily News there appeared the follow
ing article, contributed by Mrs Mari
eta Holyday Gibson, who, since she
is housekeeper at Fisk Hall, Barnard
College, may certainly be said to know
whereof she speaks:
"A woman who essays competently
| to fill the position of housekeeper
must first agree to give the work her
undivided attention. Nothing less
will suffice to enable her to rise above
| mediocrity. Without doubt the most
difficult problem a housekeeper is
called upon to solve is that relating to
! the care and management of servants
Therefore, unless skilled in this deli
cate art, the comfort and happiness of
the household are at stake, and the
, housekeeper's mission fails of it's OBJ
ject.
"A knowledge of human nature, a
! keen sense of justice, tact and con-
sideration, all are needed in the con-
troll of servants. Learn their natures
and dispositions. Get them to feel
that you are their friend Require
absolute obedience. Don't overlook
fault unless good reason is shown.
systematic the work so as to mini
mize labor. There should be but one
head with servants. Let them under
stand that your word is law; that
from IL there is no redress, no appeal
to higher tribunal. Make as few
rules as possible. but see to it that
they are carried out implicitly.
"A knowledge of cooking and mar
keting should be an important part of
a housekeeper's stock in trade. Be
come familiar with the tastes of peo-
pie, and cater to them. Buy the best
the market affords; it is cheapest in
the end Give the servants plenty of
good, wholesome food.
My experience has taught me that
many women fail to succeed in this oc-
cupation because of their ignorance
of the principles of cookery. A knowl-
edge of domestic science in all its
branches is so easily obtained nova
days that there is really no excuse for
it, Not only is it necessary in order
to serve things properly and to arrange
attractive and appetizing dishes, but
to retain the respect and confidence OF
servants. A cook soon finds out if her
mistress is lacking in this respect,
and gauges her ideas accordingly. Wom-
en- who have been housekeepers all
their lives, ii thorough and com
petent, find little difficulty in securing
positions. The work is in every way
desirable. The time has gone by
when housekeepers were not treated
as ladies. Now they are accorded
every respect, and in many instances
have their own suite of apartments
where they are able to regulate their
lives according to their own ideas.

work up to such a position let her gui

A Delicious Fruit Salad.

One cup of Malaga grapes, three
bananas, three oranges, one cup OF
English walnut kernels, one bunch OF
celery, one head of lettuce; may
onnaise dressing. This salad must
be prepared by the housekeeper her
self, as it is such a dainty dish that a
hireling would be apt to slight it and
make failure of what might other
wise be temptation to the most fas-
tidious gourmet. The only tedious
part of the operation is skinning the

Treatment or ChiIbIains.

Although the main point in treating
chilblains is to keep up a high stand
ard of general health, applications
made directly to the cbilblains will
often be found serviceable, because
they check the irritation. An excel
lent lotion is composed of equal parts
of soap liniment and tincture of can
tharides A little of this is daubed
on the chilblains and allowed to dry.
The application is repeated as often
as required. Another formula is one
ounce of copaiba and three ounces of
methylated collodion, applied night
and morning.
Most lotions are intended to apply
to unbroken chilblains. When they
break" and raw surface is formed,
care is needed. The last formula
given can be used in either case, but
when broken chilblains have to be
treated it is best to dress them with
lanilin or with oxide or zinc oint-
ment, applied en- lint Glycerine of
starch is also good application for
broken chilblains, while some collodion
painted on them and allowed to dry
will tend to promote their healing. A
lotion much used for unbroken chill
blains is made of tincture of arniea
rose water and glycerine, of each
three parts, and spirits of camphor
one part. But outward application can
be of little use in cases where the chill
bains arise from a weak state of the
system. When that is corrected the
chiibains will disappear.-The Scots

HIGHER FRENCH BIRTH RATE.
Statistician Argues That the Future
Looks Brighter Now Than Formerly.

Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, the French
statistician, in recent article in the
Debats argues that the tide has be-
gun to turn in the matter of the birth
rate in France. In 1901 S57 ,274 births
were recorded, as compared with
7,297 in 1900, an increase of near
ly 10000. Nineteen hundred was the
worst year in this respect France
ever had, so that this compar son of
itself does not mean much. The en-
couraging sign, however, is that the
number of births last year was 4,274
in excess of the average annual num-
Der of births for the decade ending
with 1900 This notable increase is
due almost entirely to Brittany,
where the hardest men of the
French nation are raised. In 1901
the births in the department of Finis-
tere exceeded the deaths by 1856 in
a total population of 773,014. In ten
other departments the number or
births exceeded the deaths.
