the joint will bring relief, unless it be q
bad case, when the hot water should be
succeeded by cold evaporating lotions.
For very slight cases of this kind the best
thing is to apply wet bandage, laying
it on the joint lightly and keeping it con-
stantly wet. When the pain and swell
ing have subsided from this treatment
the joint should be rubbed very gently
with a liniment to produce friction.
" URNS and wounds require special
! treatment, but in all cases of cuts
and bruises the injured spot should
be thoroughly cleansed. This can be done
without the aid of physician and after
ward the bruise may be neatl~ bandaged.
A stream of cold water is an excellent
cleanser. In bad cases antiseptics should
be used and the wound bound up.
Insect stiEgs may be treated with an
application of few drops of ammonia
and later the spot may be rubbed with
olive oil.
The most soothing application Tor
burns is either sifted -four or linseed oil
and lime water. Flour Is almost always
at hand, and even serious burns can be
greatly relieved by covering them with
.a thick coating of -four.

THE course includes a knowledge OF
lints, salves, bandages and restora-
tives. Each girl is given three
cornered piece of bandaging and shown
how to fold it for the uses in various
accidents Professionally this is called
a tourniquet, and the bit of muslin can
be made to fit a score of different require
ments. 1t can be used for wrapping up
an injured limb, for bandaging broken
arm or as a sling, while 1t serves to stop
the flow of blood in serious injuries.
Every one has vague notion of how
to restore a fainting person, but few
know exactly what to do first when such
an emergency arises. Even the perfectly
calm and level headed ones forget the
simplest ways of dealing with an un-
conscious form, and it is not until one
has had some experience that the value
of having the principal first aids fresh
in the mind is realized.
Only the other day young girl fell

her face and hands should have been
bathed in cold water and the arms and
hands rubbed gently to restore circula-
ton. A little brandy and water, given
when the person has recovered sut1-
ciently to be able to swallow, will COM
plete the restoration.

GIRL who speaks really correct
a and pure English is more rare to-
~ day than one who has fluent com
mand of three or more tongues.
The average school girl of this
generation can converse readily
and perfectly in French or Ger
man: or perhaps both, but how many
could talk together for five minutes with
out using either slang or gross exagger-
alton! 1t seems impossible to describe
the simplest occurrence without the use
of words ridiculously important or to
carry on the most everyday conversa-
ton without such free intermixing of
slang that to one not versed in these ex-
pressions of the moment the whole talk
is quite unintelligible.
1t really is hard for a girl blessed with
many brothers to keep her conversation
wholly free from school boy slang. The
new words and expressions seem so de-
lightfully expressive when they are hrst
but is it not a pity for a well
girl to speak the same language
AS the little street urchin who plays his
marbles on the pavement? And just
there lies the whole objection to slang.
Practically every slang word or term that
ever went the rounds of city or nation
had its origin on the stage of the cheap
theatre and was spoken by the most I'M
odutated classes. The modulation of the
voice and the use of words stamp caste
more than anything else can do, and 1t is
strange that so many girls born gentle
,,,o,,an ore still willing TO adopt each new
slang phrase which they hear.
The present habit of exaggeratlon is
another great foe to good English II the
habit does not actually reflect upon the
natural standard of truth. When the
most commonplace sight is GLORIOUS" and
the simplest party "grand" and the most
average good time wonderful" what Isl

her initiation into this class she aban-

Now she depends upon first aid at home
or the services of a physician.
1t is comparatively simple to remove
bit of dust or cinder which has lodged i'll
the lower lid of the eye. All one has to
do is to draw the lid down and use the
corner of silk handkerchief to pick up
the tiny particle But when the irritat-
ing speck has hidden itself under the
upper lid, then the task of finding 1t ana
removing It is more difficult. One cannot
do this alone 1t requires assistance ana
the person who is to perform the sllgnt
oneration should / behind the head
of the injured one, take hold of the lashes
of the upper lid with the finger and thumb
of the left hand and draw them slightly
outward and away from the eyeball. Whlle
doinp this the other hand should be used
to place a match or wire halrpln on
the outside of the lid, pressing downward
and forward so tnat by a quick motion the
upper lid can be reversed.
MYTH nearly the whole of the inside
w of the upper lid thus exposed the
particle has small chance of escaping
the searching glance of the first aid prac-
titioner. and as soon as it is spied the cor
ner of a soft silk handkerchief should b'
used to lift it from its irritating resting
place. -, ... u.4
Continued blinking will sometimes gst
rid of a bit of dust or cinder in the eye
when it is not permanently lodged there,
and sometimes washing the eye in warm
water will accomplish the same result.

LITTLEBY FOREVER.

The following excellent literary
production, from the pen of>Rev
II. |. Cobb, we understand, was
recited last Sunday by Miss
Frances Shook at the very inter
esting Children's Day service held
at Littleby Methodist church,
west of Rush Hill:
1t beats the world how everyone.
Of high and low degree,
Who wants the best on Children 5
Day,
Will come to Littleby.
But that's our line, as all must
know.
For all can plainly see
That other places only try
To do like Littleby.
That girls are fair in every land
And cute, we all agree,
But none are quite so bright and
fair,
AS those of Littleby.
Our boys are brave and tried and
true,
And full of life and glee;
For that s the only kind we grow
Up here at Littleby.
And when the people, far and near
Conclude they want to see
Just how the world is marching on
They come to Littleby.
So now, good friends, I've had my
say,
And hope that you may be,
In years to come, almost as great
AS we of Littleby.

Fell Into Cistern.

The little four year old grand
son of J. T. Guthrie. who is here

vile, had an experience few
days ago which evidently his
young memory will never forget.
He and his mother We're visiting

into ciStern. 20 feet deep and
containing six feet of water. The
mother happened to hear the lit.
tie ones cry for help and she ran
to his rescue. He sank in the
water twice, and just at this time
his mother managed to drop him a
rope. He grasped it and th =
mother pulled him up part waE
when he dropped back again int >

rope again and this time was abb"
