PIiny,s standina Joke.

In his Natural History" Pliny made
a standing joke for centuries by tell
ing how ancient deep-sea divers pour
ed oil on stormy seas to quiet them.
Benjamin Franklin, printer, Republi-
can, revolutionist, kite-1yer, electrt
clan, physicist, natural philosopher,
jack of all great deeds, was the first
to clear up the oil and troubled wa
ters question. In 1757 at sea he saw
the wakes of two of the ships that
seemed smooth as glass in a whitecap
sea. The skipper guessed the cooks
vert emptying their greasy water
through the scuppers." Franklin at
first thought it sea joke, tale for
the marines. but never forgetting any
thing, he remembered Pliny's divers
story Years later at Clapham on a
windy day he poured teaspoonuful of
olive oil on the half-acre of stormy
pond water and stilled the pretty pond

Writ Franklin then bore such q repu-

custom house in the city OF New York
on Lady Day, the Annunciation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
While the residence has been some
what modernized' by the building Of
veranda and other minor changes,
the structure retains many reminders
of the perilous times. The hand-hewn
timbers are visible, and there is pre-
served the strong door which opened
into the south end of the house,
against the casing of which British
officer stood when a Yankee from the
hill on the south bank of White Creek
picked him off with his gun. The
door is in good start Of preservation,
and on it is the massive old lock
which in early days would have prov
en- an obstruction to a person seeking
TO unlawfully enter the building, but
10 the modern house breaker it would
be as a toy. The lock is ten inches
long by five and half inches wide
and one and half inches thick. The
original brass key, six inches in
length, is still in position to shoot the
bolt
In the days which tried mems
souls" the building was used as q
postoffice, and an inn, before 1t be-
came the headquarters for the Brit
ish officers under Colonel Baum. In
those days each inn and tavern keep
er was required to enter into recogni
zance to the people Of the state OF
New York in the sum of $50, not tc
keep a disorderly house or suffer any
cock fighting, gaming or playing with
cards or dice, or keep any billiard
table or other gaming table or shuttle
board within it. In regard to the sell
ing of strong liquors, exceptions were
made for the sale of metheglin, cur
rant wine, cherry wine and cider made
by the inn-keepers. At each taverr
at least two spare beds, with good anC
sufficient sheeting and covering, were

10 be kept for guests, in accordance
with the demands of the law. Good
and sufficient" stabling and provender
had to be provided for four horses or
cattle, and hay and pasturage in sum-
mer. No liquors were allowed to be
sold to apprentices, servants and
slaves. No innkeeper could collect
debt larger than ten shillings for
liquors sold to travellers.
In October, 1896, the old ST. Croix
(San Coik) grist mill, then owned by
John G. Burke, was burned. On one
of the timbers of the structure was to
be seen the inscription: "a. D. 1776,"
the supposed date of the erection of the
building. 1t was in this mill, on the
head of a barrel of flour, where this
letter was written to General Bur
goyne:

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Come

Conuuslons are those injuries to the
tissues Of the body caused by their
coming in contact with some blunt OBJ
ject. In simple or slight contusions
the injury is confined to the area very
closely surrounding the point of con-
tact. In severe. contusions the sys-
temic effect or the shock produced
may cause immediate death. In con-
fusion the external skin surface is not
broken and only the underlying struc-
lures show evidence of injury. To
greater or less extent a confusion &C.
companies lacerated and incised
wounds (where the skin is broken)
and in many cases 1t is very serious
complication. Any of the structures
below the skin may be injured by
confusion as the tearing of muscle
fibers, rupturing of blood vessels, para
lying of nerves or crushing of bones.
The part injured is tender on pres
sure and painful on movement. Swell
ing may take place at once from the
rupture of blood vessel or after a
short time from the collection of
serum to the part There is always a
certain amount of shock produced
which in some cases, as some con-
tusions of the abdomen, may cause i'm
mediate death. After few days, in
most instances, the blood from the
ruptured blood vessels finds its way
towards the surface and the skin be-
comes discolored. This is very no.

blue" eyes. Sometimes the tissues

fected and are destroyed by that

Preventive Measures.
AS preventive measures for contus
ions, never strike any one about the
head, face, or body, especially in the
abdomen. Nearly every one knows
how easily his wind may be Knocked
OUT even by light blow in the abdo
men.
In games, such as football, where
contusions are liable to be frequent

protect the body by guards and pads
as much as possible.
Treatment.
The best treatment for the contus-
ion itself is absolute rest of the part
for a short time. This may be pro-
cured by bandages, slings, splints or
putting the patient to bed. Firm BAN
daging lessons the amount of swelling
and favors it's re-absorption. Cold In
the form of icebags or cold water
placed on the part also tend to lessen
the swelling. Considerable caution
must be used in the application of
cold as the tissues are always little
devitatized by the confusion and the
added slowing of the circulation by
the cold may cause them to die and
decay Therefore, If the tissues appear
to have a low vitality, they should be
kept warm by being surrounded by hot
water bottles and covered with warm
ed blankets and other covers.
After a few days the part should be
massaged, kneaded, and moved about,
slowly at first but with increasing
force. Rubbing with some liniment
as witchhazel, arnica or soap l1n1ment
may also help some TO Improve the
conditions at this time.
When the Shock Is General.
If the general shock is at all severe
, it must be treated by stimulants as
aromatic spirits of ammonia. brandy
or strong coffee. The patient must be
kept warm by covers and some form
of artificial heat as hot-water bottles
or heated bricks. If breathing has
stopped, as is so often the case In
blows on the stomach, artificial res
piration should be given at once an6
maintained continuously until the pa
tient is able to breath normally. Meth
DDS of artificial respiration will bt
given when treatment of drowning l:
considered.
A physician should be called in al
cases where the shock Is at all mark
ed, as some serious injury may hav'
been done to some of the internal or
gans. --4

In case of a splinter or other foreign

If not able to remove all of it, apply

never probe around in the wound to

with cleaning off the outside of the

a GOOD deal has been written
~ lately about the malignant
4 4 mummy at the British museum
or, rather, the lid Of the coffin
that contained the mummy; for, of
course, there is no mummy in this
particular case. 1t Is merely a lid
that is reported to have brought so
many personal disasters in its train
A well-known physician, who is in
terested in Egyptology, was asked
his opinion concerning the strange
case of the mummy of the priestess
that has aroused so much curious in
terest
II think" he said, that the mummy
having been torn to pieces, the spirit
of the priestess strives to remain in
contact with the only material thing
that Is left in touch with her, nameIy,
the lid of the coffin. This is the
opinion of most occultists. The spirit
of the priestess has attached itself to
the case, which is a sort of physical
basis"
But why so malignant" this au-
thority was asked, "as to bring about,
according to reports, all sorts of dis
asters and accidents to persons at the
present day."
If" he explained, ct is true that
the mummy was torn to pieces it was
a fearful desecration, and quite
enough to make the priestess furious
Some persons who try to get into
communication with her by occult
means say, also, she was very badly
treated and put to death cruelty. OF

1T has been said that the curse OF
Egypt never leaves a man after he has
taken part in the violation of the

which papyrus was found, the sub

wounds) made by sharp instrument
as a knife or piece of glass; and
third, puncture wounds made by some
article of relatively small diameter as
a splinter or bullet.
The dangers Of wounds of the skin
are Infection or Inflammation, bleed
ing (hemorrhage) from some wound
ed blood vessel, destruction or cutting
Of some nerve. the cutting of some
muscle or bone, and the wounding Of
some internal or vital organ.
Death may result from an increase
of the infection to a general blood
poisoning (septicemia), or from bleed

some vital organ as the brain. De-
formities and ugly scars sometimes
follow the healing of such wounds.
Wounds quite frequently accompany

Preventive Measures.
In order to prevent wounds we
should be very careful while handling
play or run with open knives, sharp
sticks or broken glass. Never point a
gun or allow anyone else to point one
at anybody, no matter whether it is
loaded or not, because too frequently
1t Is the guns that "are not loaded"
that go off and injure people.
Treatment.
In treating wounds it is a good plan
to allow them to bleed freely for a
short time, if they will, as some of the
germs (bacteria) which are almost al
ways carried into the wound by the
instrument that makes it, may be
washed out in this way. If this bleed
ing is very excessive or long contin-
ued it should be stopped Methods of
stopping bleeding will be given in a
later paper. After the bleeding has
stopped the outside of the wound
should be washed, and if it is not
! deep, the whole wound should be
cleaned by washing it thoroughly with
hot water that had been boiled for a
short time and cooled Some mild
antiseptic or disinfectant may be add.

one part of the bichloride to 1000
parts of water (1-2000); enough boric

10 parts of water (1-5 or 1-10); or
carbolic acid (phenoD so that there
is 1 part of carbolic to so parts of
water (1-50). A person before at

| first wash his own hands thoroughly
in boiled water and soap for at least
three minutes continuously so as to
get off all the germs. Do not use
dirty rags or cotton waste to wash out
wounds because you are liable to wash
in more germs than you wash out
Always use clean cloths that have
been washed and ironed or heated in

they may be boiled at the same time
