HOT AND COLD WATER.
How to Use These Remedies to tho
Best Advantage.


Best Advantage.
Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for inflammation. conges-
tons or abrasions, but how many peo-
pie know which to apply in particular
cases while awaiting the arrival of
medical relief? Not many. and the mis-
takes made in some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take the barber for example who
has cut his patrons face. H. generally
washes the face with towel soaked
In warm water. often pressing it right
into the injury. and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut 50 freely.
In ninety-nne cases out of hundred
if he had used cold water. and the
colder the better. the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al
together, as the cold would have ten
dency to contract the openings in the
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions very cold water will
at least reduce the amount of bleeding
If it doesn't stop it altogether, and yet,
singularly enough, boiling water will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de-
gree decreases It, In surface inflamma-
tons or COMPOSITIONS cold water ought
to be used, while If the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water is
necessary as an application because 1t
draws the blood toward the surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where 1t is most
needed.
In cases Of assesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come to head, the secre-
ton OF pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is inflamed or smarts,
after period Of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli-
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool off toward the end.
Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve-
mated by adopting this method of treat
ment and many headaches resulting
from such a condition may thereby be
prevented or cured.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its swarms of Sea GuIIs and Its Lone
Tree.


Up a little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least. 1t is
IN inclOsed space. In the middle Of
this space there is tree. 1t is not a
very tall tree; you could. in fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still it
is tree-the only tree in Shetland.
And Shetland is proud of it. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders of one streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This Is not
fiction. 1t is the only tree in Shetland.
AS there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except of course,
the sea guls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick. and. as such
they have greater share in the towns
life than have the sparrows of London
In the morning time you will note that
sea gull sits on every chimney pot
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air is full of their strange. high,
plaintive. haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
rs tne cndtteflng OF SparrOWS or the
cawing of rocks are to us in England.
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band Of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have pet name for
their own particular sea gulls, and.
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him.
SO all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people of the town, if they come across
little pile of rice laid upon the road
way. step over it with care. They
know that it is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away TO their
resting places on the rocks of the Isle
of Noss.-London Express.
