Burns and Their Remedies.

Dr. Charles S. Moody, writing in ''Out-
ing on "Backwoods Surgery and Medi-
cine" says in regard to burns:
Burns are classified according to de-
gree Of injury. Those of the first de-
gree are where the skin is Redeemed but
no blister formed. The second degree in
cludes those where taere has been decid-
ed blistering, and the third, where the
flesh has been charred. Those of the first
and second degrees are the most common
in about the proportion Of 90 to 1.
"a burn of the first degree can .be~best
relieved by the application of cold water.
This is contrarysto the teaching Of few

I've bought six rats, ten puffs. a braid;
For full a dozen curls I've paid

Each store shows wigs of every shade.

The western neighborliness advertised
by the fact that the friends of North
Dakota farmer joined hands while he
was lying helplessly i'll in bed and
ploughed and sowed one hundred acres
of his farm in single day, was not
an isolated example. The spirit dis
played by the friends of the stricken
farmer revealed a pleasant phase of pio-
neer enterprise which blazed the way
for settlement to the base of the Rocky
mountains. The pioneer is man who
is willing to help himself, and to put
in time for others if by so doing he can

couraging statistics, after the exagger-

Rear-Admiral McCalla, whose death
occurred at Santa Barbara, California,
yesterday, was one of the conspicuous
naval figures of the war of 1898 with
Spain, and also of the expedition for the
relief of the besieged foreigners during
the Boxer rebellion. He was awarded
a medal by Congress for his gallant
service on these occasions. The name
of McCalla will shine in naval annals
with those of heroes who have given the
United States a proud record on the
sea.

that the government will find it diff

floating of the battleship Maine for one
hundred thousand dollars. The Maine is
undoubtedly in such shape that floating

task of lifting in pieces, after the
bodies have been taken from the wreck,
may be the limit of achievement in re-
moving the wreck of the ship from Ha-

board of a site on the Sparta army
reservation for national target range
is gratifying, as it will insure the regular

The decision of the board supports the
view heretofore held that the reserva-

way for military manoeuvering and drill.

an automobile ride about the city.
They approached the extremely self
conscious clerk and asked him where
they could secure d car.
"Our head waitah has two. don't y
know" he replied.
1t took some little time to recover
from this shock, but presently one of
the party ventured to ask the price.
"Three an hour was the answer.
That was voted satisfactory, and at
luncheon one of the Clevelanders
turned to the nearest waiter.
'Who is the chap that owns two
automobiles? he asked.
ct am the chap" the waiter replied,
and he threw such a freezing empfa-
sis into the word "chap" that it was
fairly frost cracked.
They finished their luncheon before
they had enough courage to ask the
price
"Four dollars an hour" the waiter
replied with naughty Indifference.

cablegram from Dean Collie, of Beloit
college, dated at Mombasa, Africa, in
which he states that he has just fin

through the great Rift valley, and was
safe and we'll. The cablegram was
dated Sept. IL. Mrs. Collie was over
ioyed to receive it, as it was the first
word she has had from her husband in
some time. Prof. Collie has been in
the very heart of the dark continent
and in country that is esteemed dam
gerous. He followed the route taken

A mysterious shooting occurred at
GAINESVILLE at 4:30 Sunday afternoon,
when Mrs. John Myers, aged 35 years,
wealthy widow of a hotel proprietor
and real estate owner of that place,
was shot as she stepped out of the back
door of her home. The bullet entered
the right arm, severing an artery. Her
screams attracted neighbors and a
physician was called, who pronounced
her condition critical. Doctors have
probed for the bullet, but have been
unable to locate it. Whether the shoot
ing was accidental or intentional, the
police have been unable to determine.
Search of the vicinity Immediately
after the bullet was fired failed to re
veal any clews. 1t is possible the
shooting was done by some one firing
at target. Mrs. Myers says she
knows of no one who might wish tC
cause her injury.
Milk condensing factories promise tt
become strong competitors of the
cheese industry in this the greatest
cheese section of the state. An i'm
mense condensing factory is now being
built at New Glarus, the original start
ing point of the foreign cheese industry
of America. Another condensary is tx
be built at Argyle. These two institu
tons will take vast amount of milk
from the cheese factories of these To-
calities and will doubtless have tell
ing effect on the total production OF
cheese. Milking in winter has not beer
carried on as extensively about New
Glarus as at Monroe where the Border
condensary has paid the farmers an at
tractive price for their winter milk. L
is expected that when the New Glarus
plant is in operation, many of the
farmers will become winter patrons Of

too that these condensing factories
have had an influence in maintaining
higher prices for milk. The fine pas

make for the dealers during the winter
months. -Brodhead Register.
