CURING PNEUMONIA.
In the Absence OF Doctor There
Are Some Things Important
to Know.

I My experience, gained in ten years
| living in different climates, may bene-
fit others in caring for lung fever and
| pneumonia, says writer in Woman's
Home Companion. The symptoms,
which are similar-bigh fever, nervous
| ness, red spots on the cheeks. rough
breathing-can be detected by holding
the ear to the front and back Of the
lungs. First, send for the doctor. If
idle, as a few hours may do fatal work
Place the patient in room of even
temperature, where no drafts will
strike the bed. Make the following
poultice, and get it on the patient as
quickly as possible: Three pints OF
ground faxseed, one tablespoonful of
ground mustard (this draws the blood
to the surface, promoting circulation.
and should be omitted after the first
poultice), one tablespoonful of lard.
Pour boiling water over this, stirring
all the time, until it is of the consisten-
cy of mush. Have roomy, double
jacket cut from cheesecloth, put the
poultice between the thicknesses, turn
under the edges, and sew together to
protect the clothing Have board Oh,
which to do this, and carry it on it.
The top side will cool more quickly.
Test it by laying the cheek to it. Put
this side next to the patient as hot as
can be borne. Let it come close up
around the neck ard down over the
front and back of the lungs. Pin up
the back and shoulders with safety
pins. Do not let the patient up, as it
willincreaset the soreness of the lungs.
Cover the police with jacket of fan
mel and one of oil silk to retain the heat.
Give simple cathartic. Change the
poultice every hour and a half, as the
life Of the patient will depend upon
keeping the poultice hot. If allowed
to grow cold, death may result. Sew
eral leading physicians of different
states have told me they are afraid to
recommend poulticing, for the reason
that people will neglect keeping them
hot. Let milk be the chief diet. /
keep the above mentioned remedies in
the house the year round. The flax
seed is kept in self-sealing fruit Jars.

HER HUSBAND.

! have my troubles, goodness knows
And many trials cause me grief
That man Of mine is, I suppose,
The chief.
Each day some new vexation brings
He means quite we'll, I've not doubt,
But will persist in leaving things
About.
He leaves his papers on the floor,
His gloves my brfc-a-brac among,
His smoking jacket on the door
Is hung.
His pipes are apt to decorate,
The very incest things l own:
Burned matches in my Canton plate
Are thrown.
His slippers are most always found
Just where they have no right to be.
He just leaves everything around
For me.
But after all is said, know
Some others have the same distress,
He's pretty WELL as husbands go,

REMAINING OF INDIANS.
PIE Improved Upon White
Mans Method.

Judging by the comments of the
press, considerable misapprehension
exists as to this movement on the part
of the government, and it has been
somewhat censured, but there are good
reasons for asking the Indian people
to conform to our system of naming.
They are beginning to own land and
cattle, and the matter Of inheritance
is as important to them as it is to. the
white people. AS most of our readers
are aware, there has been hitherto no
system of family names on the issue
and allotment rolls of the Indian
agencies, says the Southern Workman.
Mr.. Hamlin Garland, at a recent
meeting of the Sequoya league, gavean
illustration Of the Indians feelings in
regard to this matter. He says: 'Mr.
James Mooney, who is working at pres
ent among the Kiowas and Comman-
ches was approached one day by an In
telligent Kiowa, who said: My
friend, want you to do something for
me; I want you to ask the agent to let
my children who are at school bear
the names my wife and have given
them. 1 do not like the names the
white teachers have given to my chill
dren.'. Mr.. Mooney promised to help
in the matter. On investigation he
found that the children had been
named Betsy Kuhn Burt Heidsick,'
'Labonia Bentley and the like, with
out any regard to their wishes or.their
relationship. The agent readily gave
the order to have the real names SUBJ
stituted, and this is the pleasant re-
suit. The fathers name was Gunayi,
the mothers name was Daon Gunavi,
the daughters were HALL, Tsuma and
Imguna Gunavi, and the sons Inalli
and Zepko Gunavi. Here we have a
Kiowa family treated properly, and
group of really beautiful names is the
result. Our language is enriched by so
many new sounds, and lastly and of
more Importance, the requirements Of
our laws are met, and the family rela-
tionship is established

Strawberry Bread. Butter Pudding.

Line buttered pudding dish with

Then turn in one quart of firm, ripe
Strawberries which have been well
mixed with three-fourths of cupful

The words and manner of the Sister
stirred the girl strangely. Looking

her whole being. The flush died
out Of her cheeks, the sob died in her

FARMING VERSUS MINING.
tain and RemuD era4ive Than
Digging Precious Metals.

According to statistics that are.
supposed to be reliable the value of
all the gold produced in the United
States in the year 1900 was little
over S70,OO0,OOO, and the silver output
for the same period was about $74,-
100000. The same year the wheat
crop of the country was worth $685.
100000, while the value of the corn
harvested was over $751;, 100000. I
presume, writes A. w. Cheever, in the
New York Tribune, more men were
employed in raising the agrain than
the number that worked in the mines.
These figures do not show the rela-
tive wage or profit each class OF
workers received, but this we all
know, that the uncertainties OF min
ing are far greater than they are in
raising corn and wheat. A few may
have made more III digging for gold,
but it has long been admitted that
the average income for raising farm
crops is greater for each person en-
ployed than it ever has been for
those employed in digging out the
precious metals. have in mind
farm that once paid liberal income
to the owner in the form of fruit,
grain and dairy products. A later
owner thought he had discovered a
vein OF gold. silver and copper. So
sure OF this was he that, with 9th
ers who became interested, he spent
several thousand dollars in digging
and blasting out rock and pumping
away the water that flowed in. The
final outcome was deep hole in the
ground filled with water, and a large
pile OF broken quartz that may be
worth carting a short distance for
repairing roads. If this were sim
gular case it might count little, but
its parallel may be found in hundreds
and thousands of instances.

Defe ted by Rich m o IN d 4.

The base ball team went to Richmond
last Saturday and We're trimmed by
the team in the condensed milk town by
a score of II to 5. The boys We're fairly
beaten all right enough and were not a
little disappointed. They were unfortu-
nate in being obliged to play on rough
diamond and in having men left on
bases. MCGEE pitched good game and
the right-handed batters knocked out the
ball in good shape but the Richmond
pitcher was puzzler for the left-hande
hitters. Flagg, the old Goddard seminary
and Tufts college player umpired the
game to the general satisfaction of
everybody concerned.
The boys came home feeling rather
sore toward the town of Richmond.
While the game was in progress their
room at the hotel was entered and
between ST and SlS taken from their
clothes. The landlord appropriated some
of their luggage and refused to give it W
until broken pane of glass was paid for
When the game was finished I, it was
found that catcher's nit and two bats
had been spirited away. All things con.
sidered it was an unsatisfactory trip.

Rum S Work.

Thursday evening about eight o'clock
as Ihilo c. Elmer of Addison was re-
turning home from Vergennes he found
Bert Tucker, youngest son of MIS-
Sophronia Tucker of Addison lying in a
pool of bloc in the road near the Elmer
schoolhouse. He notified his father, :.
w, Elmer and II. w. Spooner, of
fuckers condition and with them pro-
ceeded to investigate the case. They
found Tucker unconscious and being
unable to arouse him they placed him in
Mr.. Spooner's wagon and conveyed him
to the home of his mother. DIR. Edward
Pilon of Nergennes was called and

bad bruises on one knee and leg. He
also had two teeth knocked out and one
broken off. 1t is reported that the
patient remained unconscious until late
