Oil and Lime Water for a Scald.


Heads of other families may like ia
know what one mother did in an
emergency. Her five-year-old boy up
set a pitcher of boiling water over one
shoulder, and, while she sent post
haste for the doctor, she also ran ia
the storeroom for salad oil and ia
her washstand for bottle Of lime
water dentist had recommended for
the teeth. Mixing equal parts of the
oil and lime-water, she soaked a
cloth in the resultant and bound up
the wound. When the physician ar
rived he said she had done really all
that was necessary, and her prompt
action had saved the little patient
much suffering which his later arriv'
al could not have averted wholly

J. Nota McGill, ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost a hat, point to a
joke, and a goodly amount of temper
yesterday This is how it came to
pass:
Mr. McGill was walking from the
patent office up G. Street to his own

a nor'wester.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wester struck
him che lost his head-or rather his
hat.
"Hey. there" cried the ex-register.
stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't son e one stop it,"
There was something in the profess
sor's voice that appealed to dapper
looking stranger, who made lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through it..
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
We'll, you certainly have put your
foot in it." shouted Mr.. McGill.
BEG pardon, what did you say?"
asked the dude.
Il say you've put your foot in it,
"By Jove, say not so, old chap"
Say not so yourself" growled the
professor. 'you surely have fixed my
hat up all right"
Il am awfully sorry77weally," con-
fesseG the dude. Let me ave it
mended"
"Oh, no." said the ex-register with
sarcasm, ''the brim is not worth a
crown now"

DETERMINED TO BE GENEROUS.
Old Gentleman Was Not Used to
Thi~kino in MiIians.

A quarter of a century ago there
lived in a western village a gentle old
man subsisting on a meagre salary.
One aay he learned that his h-other
had died in San Francisco, and left
him a fortune of $4,000, 900. The
transition was staggering, especially
so since it was followed by shower
of appeals for money from every quar-
ter of the globe and from persons
known and unknown to him.
His son, who acted as his secretary,
noticed with regret that his father
seemed unable to grasp the meaning
of MS new power and was glad to
have him at last evince little in
terest in one Of his begging letters.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands Of
dealers in various parts of the world
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
ton with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in. compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry. no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city. and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production Of fresh meats
and provisions.

Louis. st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fa.e
Worth. The same methods of pur-
chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail
at all cities. At Chicago, which is
the largest market, there are about
two hundred and fifty buyers, repre-
senting packers local slaughterers in
various cities and exporters. OF this
number, less than a score are employ
ed by Swift G Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the COM
mission dealer, who accepts or rejects
as his judgment dictates. All buying
must be finished at o'clock each day,
and the buyer must pay spot cash.
If the commission man has no salts
factory offers, he can hold his stock
over to the next day. He gets his
commission from the farmer, and nat
urally strives to get the highest pos
sible price for his client.
