How To Stop A Nose Bleed.

When the bellboy responded. to the
signal he found the elderly. travelling
man standing in the centre of the
room holding a handkerchief to his
nose, from which the blood was ooz-
ing.
"Give me a slap alongside the head,
good and hard,' said the elderly
man, turning his face toward the boy
and speaking with difficulty.
But sir, don't know. what you
mean, sir" stammered the boy, back
ing toward the door.
Don't stop to talk sputtered the
travelling man. "Slap me, I tell you, -
again holding his head forward. The
boy hesitated for a moment, then
timidly slapped the mans face.
''Harder!" commanded the smitten
one. The boy hesitated no longer,
but with his open palm dealt the
man vigorous blow.
That's better" grunted the CORY
one as he removed the handkerchief
and after a test found the bleeding
had stopped. I'm subject to these
attacks of nose bleed" he explained
to the astonished youth, handing him
tip. Il have tried all sorts of rene
dies, but nothing acts more promptly
than blow alongside the head. The
shock seems to paralyze the ruptured
blood vessels and they quit work at
once. Try it some time if you have
! the occasion. l got the idea from an

EACH LOST A HAND.

two men who had been assigned to
the work of setting the plate.
II was high in the air on the Raw

that the accident happened. The men
charged with fitting the heavy plate
into position were John J. McGlynn,
of No. 1900 Van Alst avenue, Long

East Sixteenth street, Manhattan.
Above and around them were score

structure.
The plate on which McGlynn and
Jude were working was almost in
place, when something gave way and
it began to slide off the supporting
beams. Realizing that its fall meant
death to the men below, both men
thrust a hand into a crevice below
the sliding plate to check its pro-
gress, at the same time shouting a
warning to those below. The sharp
edge of the plate caught McGlynn's
left wrist and Judes right wrist,
crushing them, but the barrier Of

A ReinyeStment.

A Missouri man tells of an Irish
man named Coughlin, who lived in a
shanty standing in field near the
main highway from Kansas City. The
foundations of the shanty were lower
than the road, through which ran
big water main. AS the living floor
of the place was raised on posts to
make it level with the highway, it
left large cellar underneath, where
Cough1in kept a dozen hens.
One day the water main burst,
flooding the cellar and drowning the
hens. Whereupon Coughlin took
steps to enter a claim for damages
against the city. After much delay
influential friends succeeded in Sc
curing the sum of s25 in settlement
of Coughlin's claim.
1--WE got me money!" shouted the
Irishman to a neighbor sitting on the
steps of the next shanty.
Its glad that 1 am to hear thct,
was the reply. 'And how much was
it, Coughlin?"
"Twinty-foiTe dollars"
And phwat are We gon' to do with
the twinty-foive, Coughlin?''
I'm goin' to buy twinty--fove dol
lars worth of ducks" said Coughlin.

FOUGHT For % Years:

Jacob Maurer and his wife, OF
Zurich, were described recently by
judge as the "most curious couple in
Switzerland" when he sentenced the
husband to six months Imprisonment.
They had married in 1880-both
are of powerful physique-and had
fist fights almost daily for % years.
In 1903 the wife got divorce, but
in 10 months the two met by chance
and married again. The wedding
breakfast, however, ended in fight,
but the couple stayed together in the
old way, sometimes the husband and
sometimes the wife winning the days
fight.
Some months ago the wife took
$1,000 and fed from the house. The
husband pursued her, beat her and
flung her into river, but she was
rescued. At the trial she pleaded
leniency for her husband. and burst
into tears when she heard the sem
tence.

TO TIGHTEN A NORTH ROOM.

No one wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with one facing north is
often a difficult problem.
Some people do without curtains
to allow all the light possible to come
into the room, but it is not so much
light that one needs as sunshine, and
when this cannot be had, one must
make it, or, rather, get the effect OF
it. Try having it papered with a soft
yellow paper. A good plan is to have
a light yellow on the walls as far as
the picture molding, and lighter
shade, almost cream, above this and
on the ceiling. Then yellow silk sash
curtains, pulled back, tend to make
room appear sunny, says Home Chat.
Brass can make a wonderful diff
ference to a dreary room. A large
jardiniere, with a plant in it, placed
in a dark corner, will tighten up the
corner marvellously. Brass ireirons,
too, will give a CHEEKY reflection,
even candlesticks help, and little
trays and bowls, be they ever so
small. The Importance of brass in
sunless room cannot be too strongly
emphasized Mirrors brighten it up,
and so do some pictures, with we'll
polished glasses and gilded frames.
