POINTS ON HOME SURGERY,
Proper Treatment Of What May Be
Called Minor Accidents.

When f1shhook is caught in the
flesh, If 1t be embedded beyond the
barb. no attempt should be made to
withdraw it. but the point should be
moved forward until 1t energies from
the skin. when 1t may be cut off by
means Of file or pair of pliers. and
the balance of the hook withdrawn;
or the line may be detached. the eye
cut off and the whole hook pushed
through the tissues.
II a crochet-hook has been thrust
into the flesh-a not uncommon acci-
dent-no attempt should be made to
withdraw 1t directly, but large knit
ting-needie or darning-needle should
be introduced alongside Of 1t and
placed against the hook, when both
may be drawn out together without
inf1icting further injury.
Punctured wounds should be treated
by means of hot lamentations, of poul-
tices of congresses of tepid water
Torn or confused wounds heal much
more slowly than cut or punctured
wounds. Torn wounds should be
thoroughly cleansed and the injured
parts drawn together by means Of ad-
hesive plasters and bandages.
Care must be taken not to employ
too strong compression. Either water
dressing or. lint saturated with sweet
oil containing ten drops of carbolic
acid to the ounce may be employed. If
the parts have been badly bruised. hot
lamentations should be applied.
Heat is essential in cases in which
considerable portions of tissues have
been nearly severed from the body,
but have retained sufficient amount
of attachment to Justify the attempt
to secure union.
For confused wounds, carbolated
vaseline spread on pieces of thin
cloth, constitutes an excellent dress
ing. If there be a disposition of the
injured part to become gangrenous or
to slough, the parts should be kept
immersed in water as hot as can be
borne for time, or treated with TO-
mentations.

Red, white and blue were the only
colors used in decorating the audi
torium, and the decorations were the
most elaborate ever seen in a Demo

was So huge stars artistically ar

Directly over the speakers plat
form, against the wall of the building
near the junction with the ceiling, was
a large shield, 16 feet high, carrying
six flags - feet long draped in artis-
tic folds. In addition to this main
shield there were four other shields
over the platform, each ten feet high.
The six flags on these shields were
eight feet long.
Just below the main shield hung a
mammoth portrait of George Washing

white and blue bunting was draped
from the sides of the shield to the
bottom of the portrait of the Father

60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these
pictures, at each end of the wall, and
hanging above the gallery. was sus-

painted. The back of the platform
was banked with palms Twenty
stuffed American eagles, with extend
ed wings were suspended over the
platform, each bird carrying in his
bill red, white and blue silk ribbons

tends all the way around the huge
building, but the galleries are limited
to each end. The front of the balcony

boxes were draped with bunting. $4,000
yards being necessary to complete this
part of the decorative scheme. At
intervals of five feet shields, three feet
high, were placed.
Thousands of yards of bunting
were used in draping the corridors of
the building and the walls of the bal
cony and galleries. Delegates were
supplied with small American flags
to wave when their feelings reached
pitch that compelled an extraordin-
airy demonstration.

auditorium were elaborate, the street

To prevent this, as soon as the boiler

History Of the Sugar seet.

The merits of the sugar beet were
discovered gradually. For ages it
was used chiefly as cattle feed. Later
the leaves were used as a vegetable,
and the roots ~e.e roasted as sub
stitute for coffee. About the middle
of the eighteenth century a German
chemist named Marggraf found that
the roots contained a considerable
proportion of sugar. but 1t was not
till 1901 that the first beet sugar fac
tory was built, in Silesia, with the aid

Members Of the First Congregational
Church, East Orange, yesterday celebrated
its fortieth anniversary. The church has
an interesting history, the first meeting in
the movement for its formation taking
place under an apple tree opposite wher
the Rev. Ferdinand I. Blanchard, pastor,
now lives. A further meeting. when con-
crete action was decided on, was held on a
Fourth Of July, when a number OF rich
farm owners and men who had lately
taken up a residence In the plade,* stopped
their celebration of Independence Day to
pass a resolution for the organization OF a
Congregational church.
The first church used lis now occupied
by the members CT the Sunday school.
The tillers of soil constructed it with large
stones from their farms, and many were
the varieties used, their color now being
almost entirely hidden by a thick growth
of vine.
Only one of the first board of trustees,
Matthias Dodd, is alive, but owing to
illness he was unable to assist in celebrat-
ing the anniversary Of the church yester-
day. Mr.. Dodd is % years old and has
assisted largely in clufch work, being a
life member.

beers; 500 were received by letters and
transfers, 453 by confession of faith; lis

1890, 213; in 1899, 436. Since that time there
has been a gain of sixty-one. Eighty
three names have been placed on the alb
Sentee list in recent years.
In the anniversary sermon preached in
the morning. Mr.. Blanchard said he did
not expect to see many changes in the
church life during the next few years,
M less something radical happens. Mr..
Blanchard made a plea for a further ex-
pansion of the democratic spirit which he
said had become the trend of the age.
Recently men exhibited it in politics, he
said, and the passage of acts for the popu-
lar election of Senators and initiative and
referendum, together with other legisla-
tion, was proof of this fact. He also be-
lieved that there will soon be industrial
democracy in the business world.
We a the church for rich and poor"
continued Mr.. Blanchard. 1T awaits
democracy. When a church membership
becomes the badge OF a certain place in
society it has surrendered, no matter what
it may have done in the past. that for
which Jesus Christ laid down his life. We
hear men wonder for the future of the
church. A religious society as such may
