An Object lesson.

"People are careless" said the man
with the big firecracker in his hand.
"If they would exercise common sense
we would hear less of accidents on the
Fourth"
He touched the lighted end of his
cigar to the fuse and resumed:
There is no danger in the use of
fireworks If those who handle them
Think of the risk they are running. I
have shot off firecrackers since l was
old, enough to strike a match and
never even got a finger burned"
A smile Of recollection came upon
his face and he dropped his hand idly
to his side while he said:
ri remember once when my Uncle
Thomas came to our house on the
Fourth. / was a small boy at the time,
but / recall distinctly that we had an
old toy cannon, and Uncle Thomas In
sisted upon telling US boys how to fire
it. Well, sir. he'-
Whack! Bang! Wow!
Without apologizing for his haste the
man, who had held the frecracker, ran
to a drug store, leaving his friend mus
ing upon the necessity of being careful.

RST AID TO
The INJURED

TERE are some of the things
which every mother should
II have at hand on the Fourth:
a porcelain or agate pitcher
AND basin. a package Of absorbent
cotton and one of iodoform gauze,
sohe safety pins. a carbonic solution,
a solution of linseed oil and limewa-
ter a solution Of boric acid, %antiseptic
soap, iaxseed for poultices and a sur
gems probe. The carbolic solution is
known as the 20 per cent" a teaspoon
full of carbolic acid to a pint of water.
The boric solution calls for a teaspoon
full Of the acid to a glass of warm wa
ter.
The simplest form of injury from
fireworks Is the burn. Cover the burn
IL at all sever with a solution of lin
seed oil and limewater and swathe In
antiseptic gauze. Simple remedies for
burns from punk and matches, Of
which children acquire a goodly num-
Der on the Fourth, are white of egg,
which covers the burn like mucilage
and keeps out the air, and common
baking soda in the proportion of one
tablespoonful of soda to half a glass
of water. Cover with gauze.
Another very common accident or
Independence day is the explosion or
shooting of powder into the face. Do
not allow the boy to pick this powder
out for himself. but send him at once
to a surgeon after bathing the face
with carbolic solution and covering it
with antiseptic gauze. This does not
relieve the pain or remove the powder,
but it does prevent small, dirty hands
from carrying poisonous matter into
torn pores.
When the powder is blown into the
eyes and the injury seems slight do
not touch with the fingers, but have
the patient battle the eyeballs with the
solution of boric acid. one tablespoon
full of acid to a glass of warm water.
This will prevent bloodshot, but the
patient should be taken at once to an
oculist or, If one cannot be found, to a
regular surgeon.
When the explosion tears open the
feshy part Of the hand the home nurse
must exercise her utmost skill and pa
tience. The patient will demand i'm
mediate relief-something ITO make
him feel better"-but here she takes
her first step to ward Off lockjaw.
The wound must not be touched save
with sterilized implements and fab
RIGS. Place the agate basin over the
gas flame and throw into the water
the Ebe with which you expect to
take CT the offending piece of wad-
ding.
Turn back your sleeves and wash
your hands thoroughly In a~ntiseptic
soap and water as hot as you can bear
It and thereafter touch nothing with
u hands except a~ntiseptic articles.
