WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
This Article Tells You Just What Is
to Be Done Before the Sur
geon Arrives.

There are few things which should
be in every house where any persons
are in any way liable to injury. Chief
among these are one or more bottles
of some antiseptic solution, and band
ages ready for use. Sometimes the
simplest precautions before the ar
rival of the doctor will save a limb
or hand or perhaps life, and aid the
physician to an untold extent
Orange Judd Farmer says that ban
dages may be made from an old sheet,
bleached cloth being preferred. First,
it should be clean. Taking the whole
length of the sheet, usually at least
two yards, tear it into strips of the
following widths: one inch, one and
one-half, two, two and One-half, three
and four inches, having two or three
of each. The narrow bandages are
most useful, and it is we'll to make
several of these. Now make tight
roll of each strip, or put two of the
same width in one roll. Put them
aside in a box out of the dust. You
will be surprised how many service
able roller bandages can be made from
an old sheet. They may also be
boiled, washed and ironed out for use
after being soiled. Have also some
absorbent cotton and few pieces of
cloth about IL inches square.

HIGH ART IN GARNISHING.
How to Make Plain Dishes Appetizing
Is Study to Be Taken Up by
Housekeepers. .@

Any well-cooked dish, however plain,
can be made truly epicurean by the
garnish applied. -
Often, too, exactly the right dress
ing will be found under the hand, if
the housekeeper has sufficient judg-
ment to recognize it's possibilities.
For a dish of lobster salad there
are lobster claws, lobster coral, cress,
and, for all salads, radishes and beets
cut into flowers, curled celery and cell
cry tips, spirals of olives, and fancy
shaped waters.
Aspic jelly nodded in fancy forms
or cut in squares is used on cold
meats with mounds Of jelly, wreaths
of parsley and of cress, shredded let
tuce, lemons cut as flowers or as pigs,
cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs cut in fan
ciful shapes, etc. Fish is set off with
strips of fried potatoes forming q
nest, slices of lemon, cucumbers, pars-
ley, olives, green peppers or cress.
Tomatoes make piquant addition
in the case of salads and meats. Fo:
sweets there are many trimmings

According to specialists, the mental
symptoms of the baby may even be re-
iuced to a catalogue. "A normal
child" says DR.. Louise Fiske Bryson, IN
the Medical Critic, "is sensitive to light
when a day or two old, starts when
gently touched at the third day, tastes
at the end of the first week, and strong
odors cause contortions during the
first hours of life. Food, bath,
objects about him, please him dur

be clasped with four fingers At four
months the baby begins to initiate; sits
up at the sixth month; stands without
support at the ninth month and walks at
the age of Is months.
AT this period he also laughs, smiles,
gives a kiss, repeats syllables and un-
derstands number of words From the
twentieth to the twenty-fourth month
he executes orders on command, tries to
sing, beat time and dance to music. At
the age of three the child walks upstairs
unaided and speaks distinctly. He be-
gins to ask questions.
"The sub-normal child has not devel-
oped in this way. He is different say
the parents. That sums up the whole
situation-he is different from normal. ,"
According to available statistics, says
DR.. Bryson, there are two feeble!minded
persons to every thousand inhabitants,
and to every 500 there are five or six chill
dren not capable of being educated by,
the ordinary methods of instruction.
Predetermined children, she ADDS, are
generally fond of music, 'can often sing,
even when unable to talk, can play on
some musical instrument alone or with
Others" For such she recommends spe-
cial physical exercises, which tend to
awaken the creative faculties of the
mind.
The symptoms of the sub-normal
mind cannot be classified, from the very
nature of things, as are the actions of a.
normal child. What constitutes a
backward, or deficient child?" asks DR..
Bryson. How can you tell one when
you see one? Not in an offhand way;
yet there is something that stamps the
child as different from his fellows. The
lack of command over himself suggests
illness to the inexperienced. Some, per-
haps many, of the stigmata of degenera-
tion may be present, physical signs of
imperfection, that lead the observer to
infer the quality of the individual. The
roof of the mouth may be high and mar
row, the teeth irregular and misshapen,
the lobe of the ear attached to the side
of the head, the arms too long in pro-
portion to bodily height, or the hands
and feet may show abnormalities of
structure.
AT the same time, it must be remem-
bered that it is not how child looks that
Classics him. but what he does, what
he is. what he loves and seeks"

The census departments report of
the number of persons employed in
gainful pursuits shows that 80 per

form of agricultural work. Alaska
and the Philippines are not covered in
these statistics.

sus bureau as "gainful'' is 30, O73, 1888.

Four -fifths of the male population over

The percentage of agricultural
workers-the term including farmers,
planters, overseers and laborers-runs
as high as 66.3 per cent in the south
central states. 564.9 per cent in the
south Atlantic and Al per cent in the
north central division. In the west
ern division the ratio drops to 1913 per
cent because of the large number of
men engaged in mining.

e. strong solution of this is not harm
full
No matter how small cut or
bruise may be, it is always best to
thoroughly cleanse and bandage it.
Many a limb and many life has
been sacrificed to the most innocent
looking little wounds. To dress an
ordinary small wound, proceed as fol-
lows: Make up solution of car
bolic acid or creolin, teaspoonful to
a quart of warm water, and using
some absorbent cotton, wash the
wound thoroughly with the antiseptic,
taking care that it penetrates every
part, and that all dirt is washed out,
If it be a hand or finger, the part
may be soaked in the solution for a
few minutes. This will often stop
most of the bleeding. Soak a piece
of the clean cloth in the solution,
squeeze it fairly dry and wrap it
around the injured part, using three
or four layers. Select a bandage of
suitable width and apply it neatly, u.s.
ing plenty to cover. Fasten the ban
dage by sewing or pinning with a
safety pin, or, when sufficient is
wound on, roll off few inches more,
rip it down the middle, cross the two
ends so made, and use them as strings
to tie on the bandage. If there is
much bleeding, it may be necessary to
put on some dry absorbent cotton over
the moist cloth, applying the ban
dage over all. The next day the wound
may be dressed by simply washing
and wrapping with dry bandage only.

"Hold Your Wheat"

The Humor of the Campaign.

1t is not surprising that the hard
working correspondent should, in his
effort to keep the candidate his paper
favors before the public, occasionally
make both himself and the candidate
ridicul Gus; but there seems to be no
good reason why this should have
happened so early in the present cam
paign. No one, however can read the
glowing pen picture some scribe has
made Of Senator Fairbanks in his syl-
van retreat on Mackinac island, VIII; ch
republican papers have not refused to
publish, without feeling bit sorry for
the republican candidate for the vice.
presidency.
The senator, we are informed by the
scribe, does not pick daisies. In fact,
the scribe gives the exact language in
which the denial of the soft impeach-
ment is couched. 1t can leave no
| doubt in anybodv's mind of Senator
Fairbanks attitude on the daisy
question. ''You don t catch me with
daisies in my hand" he says firmly
''Let the ladies pick the daisies - Is
this a subtle insinuation against all
woman kind? Does the senator think
that the occupation of daisy picking
represents the limit Of the mental
capacity of the other sex? Or is the
remark quite as innocOus as it sounds
| and, if so why should it be printed g?
| Do even his constituents care a plea
yune whether the senator picks dais es
or not?
But it is only by slow verbal degrees
that the scribe works up to the daisy
picking incident. He tells us. in the
| beginning, that Mr.. Fairbanks tall,
stately figure can be seen almost daily
vending it's way through the beautiful
woods Of the island. Of course there s
a touch Of real poetry in this des-
cription, but surely poetry is out of
place in campaign literature. Ger
tainly it is wasted on the average
voter Nor does the scribe mend mat.
ters much when he abandons airy i'm
aginative flights for biographical
facts. ''He is fond Of walking,' we
are told; she likes to romp as he did
when he was a boy.'' That this is
unimportant even if true most people
will agree. A fondness for pedes-
trianism will not distinguish the SEN
ator from the crowd Nor does the
fact that infantile amusements still
appeal to him make him any more
worthy the confidence of American
voters On the contrary, the mere
thought that that combination of
''romps' may represent the next ad-
ministration will probably be sufficient
to turn the thoughts Of republican
voters into democratic channels
But doubtless the scribe did his poor
best. It is admitted that tie "mat-
erial' ne has to work with is not
exactly inspiring. He satisfies the
senator apparently, and republican Or
gans are willing to publish his
''literature. - So he himself is prob
ably content. And since he has added
a little to the gayety Of the nation,
it were churlish, indeed. for the out
slider to take exception to what he has
written. st. Paul Globe.

Keep the Hogs on Pasture

Keep the hogs on pasture, and make
them get as much gain out of grass a.
possible, which is the cheapest wav-
cheaper than corn alone. and the nipe
are kept much healthier. If pigs ara
fed on corn all the time, there are fen,
cases of profit. A hog likes clover as
we'll as cow, and will eat quite lot
