When the Nose Bleeds.

When the nose is bleeding never
hold 1t over basin. or hold the head
down In any way. This only causes
further rush Of blood to the broken
tissues In the nose. The head should
be held up and back, the fow being
caught in handkerchiefs or cloths.
One of the most effective and simple
means Of checking a nose bleed Is to
press on the upper lip. Near the un-
der surface OF the lip runs the artery
that supplies the interior nasal pas
sages where the ruptures occur. II
this is pressed, the fiow of blood is
mechanically checked, thus allowing
the blood around the broken tissues
to CONCEAL and seal up the opening.
II merely pressing the finger does not
succeed. place a wad OF, paper under
the lip and fold the lip over 1t. hold
ing 1t down tight, says Woman's Life.
Again. II this does not succeed, and q
drug store Is near, get some adrenalin,
saturate piece OF cotton with It, and
apply to the interior Of the nose from
where the blood flows.

Women Smile at Fortuny's Wells.

Prof. Fortuny, known as an esthetic
enthusiast, 10 providing much merri-
ment for the fashionable women Of
Berlin. He has on exhibition a new
feminine costume he has invented and
which Is known as "Fortuny's Wells" 4"
The wells are of silk chiffon from Ave
to six yards long and two yards wide.
Their colors are light rose. violet and
blue. On the chiffon are painted
Greek vases and other ornamental
Greek designs made from articles un-
earthed in ancient Greek cities. For
tuny wants to clothe his contempor-
aries with these wells worn over ordi-
nary apparel to supplement rather
than supplant what Is being worn He
argues that wells. when beautifully
draped. give an individuality to a won.
ans appearance. that the art OF drap.
ing will be brought to such a state OF
perfection that the modern women will
surpass her ancient Greek sisters in
the art Of dressing. He shows also
little gold pins and breaches Of Gre.
clan design to hold the veil together.

For the cultivated man there is no

May Cure Turtle Flesh.

There Is talk in Queensland, Aus
tralia, on whose coast turtles are
plentiful. OF curing the flesh for ex-
port. Three kinds OF turtle are found
on the coral reefs-the loggerhead,
the hawsbill and the green turtle. The
two latter are edible. and the haws-
bill furnishes the tortoise shell OF
commerce. Travellers relate that the
aborigines light fires on the backs OF
the turtles to make the shell peel on
easily. after which painful ordeal the
animal IL allowed its freedom and
grows another shell. This II, OF
course. Munchausen yarn. The fact
is that after killing the turtle the
aborigines put 1t over q fire to facili
tate the removal Of the plates. The
professional tortoise shell getters
bury the beast In clean sand, and
when the flesh is decomposed II Il
easily taken from the shell. The
plentiful green turtle IL OF most value

TIME LOCK ON ELECTRIC STOVE.
cIockwork Turns on the Heat During
Early Morning Houra

Electric heating to be regulated by
time lock is engrossing the spare time
OF Prof. Harmon w. Morse of the
chemical laboratory in Johns Hopkins
university. says the New York Press.
He has invented an electric stove
with clockwork mechanism by which
the heat may be turned on at any
hour without personal attention. The
device also operates to turn the heat
on at any time required. II is the pro.
fessor's aim to do away with the ne
cessity for early rising, so far as fur,
mace tending Is concerned. He be
lieves that by installing one of his
electric stoves in place Of a furnace
the head of the household may lie
abed as late as his business permits
secure In the knowledge the house Is
being kept at the proper temperature
without any effort on his jart.
Prof. Morse's stove looks like a pail
OF porcelain tubes. He has not taken
anybody save his model maker into
his confidence In respect to the insides
of those tubes. To outward seemini
they are simplicity itself Nor is there
anything complicated about the clock
SO far as exterior appearance goes. Il
is the professors idea that on warn
evening. for instance, the householder
having read In his morning paper tha

clock at IL o'clock. When midnigh
arrives the clockwork turns on tn,

sleet against the pane half wakes tn,

sition to smile at the icy weather an,

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Following the break from the midsum-
mer dullness on the previous day, busi-
ness on the Washington stock Exchange
became very active yesterday. and at the
close the record disclosed the best day
business IN several weeks.
Traction bonds and stocks were again
the leaders, with Washington Railway
and Electric As IN front among tho bonds
and the common stock Of the same COM
pany leading all others among the stocks
There was almost no change IN the
prices. Railway common sold IN big lots
and little at 30 and the bonds at S0h
and 81.
Outside of the traction shares trade was
in fractional lots to I'll small orders. and
was scattered well over the list.
The furry in the securities of the
Washington Railway and Electric shares
has stirred up a good deal Of comment
upon the subject Of placing the railway
systems under the supervision OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Yes
terday II was believed by brokers best
conversant with the situation that this
supervision would work out 10 the best
interests Of the company as well as the
public and that the rise and activity in
the securities Of the road was the answer
Of the stockholders TO the question Of
such control
