MAKING PoULTICEs Ar HOME.
How to Prepare and Also to Apply
Them.

IneHl.
1t is wise woman who knows how
to make poultice. In certain forms
OF illness much depends upon them
and the services of the best physician
are often useless unless his orders
can be carried out inteligently.
The value of some poultices is in
their heat, and such a one must be
put on as hot as the patient can en-
dure. The i'll person must even be
willing to suffer some discomfort at
first, for mere warmth is not enough.
AT the same time an inexperienced
person is likely to make the serious
error of applying the mixture so hot
that 1t burns the flesh, thus prevent
ing further treatment of the same
kind.
Flaxseed, onion and bread and
milk poultices are the common ones.
For the best results it is necessary
that every ingredient shall be ready
to be put together at once, so as
soon as ii is known that one is re-
quired the materials must be select
ed. For the poultiee new cheese
cloth of the thinnest and suftest old
linen should be made into bags about
five inches long and four wide. These
are stronger If stitched IN the ma
chine, rather than by hand. The top
of each should be left open. A spool
OF stout white cotton will be neces-
sary. pieces of which will bind the
top tight after the hot mixture is put
In.
As poultices cool rapidly they
should be made in the sick room,
thus saving carrying any distance.
For this work small alcohol lamp,
or any attachment that can be put
over the gas Jet to hold a small
saucepan, will be a valuable aid.
A jug Of water or milk and a box
to hold the flaxseed or covered dish
for onions OF bread. and a big spoon
complete the outfit that should have
its own table.
To make a flaxseed poultiee a cup
of hot water should be put into the
saucepan and brought to the boiling
point At the first bubble a table

To hold the sack securely a piece
of stout thread is twisted tightly
around the top TO prevent the mix
ture from OOzing. The bag should
then be applied. Usually as soon as
this eOOls a new hot one is required.
The same meal cannot be used twice.
Onion. bread and milk poultices
are cold mixtures. but should be put
into bags like those for 1axseed.

A NEGRO TRIUMPH.
Carl Schurz Writes Interestingly
About Civil War Times.

| In Carl Schurz Memoirs now run
ming in McClure's one gets history at
first hand.
During the civil war the bulk OF
the slave population remained quietly
at work on the plantations, except
in districts touched by the operations
of the armies Had negro slaves not
done so, the rebellion would not have
survived it's first year. They pre-
scented the remarkable spectacle OF
an enslaved race doing slaves WORK
to sustain a government and an army
fighting for the perpctuation OF It's
enslavement Some colOred people
did, indeed, escape from the planta-
lions and run into the union lines
where our troops We're wltE;E reach,
and some of thir young men enlisted
in the union army as soldiers. But
there was nowhere any cOmmotlon
among them that had in the slight
est degree the character the uprising
in force of slaves against their mas
tiers. Nor was there, when, after the
downfall of the confederacy, general
emancipation had become an estab-
lished fact, a single instance OF an
act of vengeance committed by ne
gro upon white man for inhuman-
ity suffered by him or his while in
the condition of bondage. No race
or class of men ever passed from
slavery to freedom with a record
equally pure of revenge. But many
of them, very naturally yielded to the
temptation of testing and enjoying
their freedom by walking away from
the plantations to have frolic. Many
others left their work because their
employers ill-treated them or in other
ways incurred their distrust. Thus
it happened that in various parts of
the south the highroads and by-ways
were alive with foot-loose colored
people. ....
They had their carousals with
singing and dancing, and their camp
meetings with their peculiar religious
programmes. But while these things
might have been in themselves harm
less enough under different circum-
stances, they produced deplorable eff
fects in the situation then existing
Those negroes stayed away from the
plantations just when their labor was
most needed to secure the crops Of
the season, and those crops were
more than ordinarily needed to save
the population from continued want
and misery. Violent efforts were
made by white men to drive the
struggling negroes back to the plan
tations by force, and reports of
bloody outrages inflicted upon colored
people came from all qaurters. Il
had occasion to examine personally
into several Of those cases, and saw
in odious hospitals negroes, women as
well as men, whose ears had been
cut off, or whose bodies were sIashed
with knives, or bruised with whips or
bludgeons, Or punctured with shot
wounds. Dead negroes were found in
considerable numbers in the country
roads or on the fields, shot to death,
or strung On the limbs of trees In
many districts the colored people
were In a panic of fright and the
whites in state of almost insane

AFRICAN DODGER."
Fought New Haven Policeman-Both
i'm Hospital.

New Haven, April 27.--Henry
Charboneau, a policeman in the Dix
we'll avenue precinct, and Henry Ad'
ley, an enormous African, are both
lying severely wounded in Grace hos
pital as a result of a fracas which
began when Charboneau attempted
to arrest the colored man about noon
yesterday.
A little colored girl, the daughter
of G. w. Gui of IS Eaton street, ran
into the station house, telling Ser
geant Smith that a man was trying
to kick in their door, so Carboneau
was sent to attend to it,. He found
the other had kicked the hinges off
the door of the rooms of Gui which
are on the second floor. The door
was hanging half ajar and Adley was
pushing it aside when the officer ar
rived. a.
Charboneau told Adley to quit.
The negro replied by hitting the po-
liceman in the face and said he
would kill him If he didn't get out.
Before the officer could jisengage
his club the colored man had closed
in on him. A hard fight resulted,
both rolling to the floor and then
down the stairs to the street. AL
though Charboneau is big and pow
erful man, the other proved that his
six foot negro frame of 210 pounds
had lots of fight in it, for he quickly
got the best of the policeman.
He got Charboneau under him and
began pounding his head until the
policeman was dazed and the col
ored man rose and began kicking
him in the head and face At this
point Isaac Shields, retired police
man, living a few doors down the
street, rushed up, attracted by the
uproar that the fight had caused in
the neighborhood. He says that Ad-
ley was just about to plant his heel
in the PROSTATE mans face. Shields
pulled the negro off the Galcer and
helped the policeman to his feet.
The colored man rushed ut Shields
with his fists clenched and hit him
in the ear. AS Shields IS in poor
health he was unable to help further
Charboneau pulled his revolver
and fired at Adley, hitting him in the
hand. He talked to the colored man
and told him to come along to the
station house or there would be trou-
BILE for him. Adley was nursing his
hand, which was bleeding freely. AS
the policeman took hold of him, he
pulled knife about three inches
long and slashed at Charboneau, cut
ting his chin and gashing his neck
deeply. The policeman fell, firing
his revolver again and wounding
Adley in the leg, He fell and the
officer pitched his knife out of reach
Both men were taken to the hospi-
tai on Chapel street, Adley under re-
straint. Police Chief Henry d.
Cowles called at the hospital with a
carriage to take Charboneau to his
home at 115 Lloyd street in Fair Ha-
ven, but he was found to be too badly
hurt to be moved for a day or so. His
wound will not prove very dangerous
however, as it is only a flesh wound
The finger of Alleys hand is broken.
but there We're no bones broken by
the shot in his leg. Neither will be
able to appear in court for a hearing
OF the case for several days.
Adley is the african Dodger" at
whom many hundreds fired baseballs
at Savin Rock last summer. His
head is full of little bumps wheretbe
good shots landed.
