Bed sore..

Bed sores are sores that form On
tnose parts of the body that are under
most In the position taken up by the
ped occupant. AS a rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined to
one position. When set up they are
o distressing. Whisky or brandy
used as a lotion to the healthy skin
once daily will prevent them, When
tnere are commencing sores they should
be treated with white Of egg mixed

The Reign of Wealth.

The New York World can scarcely
find words strong enough to express it's
impotence with existing conditions:
'"The American people have been pa
tent and long suffering, but they are
tired Of being exploited. They are tired
Of having their heritage stolen; they are
tired of having their servants corrupted
and their government d%ebauched; they
are tired of seeing public interests for
ever sacrificed to the interests Of organ
lied capital. There may not be much
economic theory and practice about
the remedies they propose. but an out
ragged public sentiment is not likely to
concern itself with political economy.
1t strikes with the first weapon on
which it can lay its hands,"

We are not alarmists. More money
could be raised by taxes, much more,

Republican contemporary prior to Nov.

When Saddles Were First Used.

1t is supposed that the saddle was in
vented about the middle of the fourth
century, but the fact, in the opinion Of
some, has not been positively proved.
Zonaras. the historian, tells us that
Constantine the younger was killed in
the year $40, when he fell from his sad
die. The word translated into saddle
also means, however, the back Of the
horse or the place where the rider sat.
1t is true, nevertheless. that Sidonius
Apollinaris used the word that unmis-
takably refers to the saddletree.
