Remark Vigorous-That Put
Quietus' on New York Senator.
Cold, Caustic Rebuke Received by the
New Yorker When He Was
Gloating over His Defeat
of Arthur.

When Roscoe Conkling and Thomas
c. Platt broke with President Garfield
and resigned from the senate of the
United States, they expected Vice
President Chester A. Arthur. who also
hailed from New York, to join with
them in attempting to persuade the
New York state legislature to re-elect
them as senators, as their states in
dorsement Of their opposition to Presi-
dent Garfield. General Arthur, how
ever. felt that he could not with pro-
priety take any part in the attempt
of the ex.senators to seek vindication;
in fact, he did not interfere in their
behalf in the slightest way. and SO

Frost Bites

The results of cold depend more
upon the emergency treatment than
DO those of burns. Sudden chilling of
the body, especially when overheated,
may cause sudden death from a rapid
iessening of the amount of blood in
the brain. Death may also be caused
by the slow effect of cold as in cases
OF freezing to death. The local effect
OF cold Is to lower the resistance of
the part and so favor Inflammation
and Infection. In some cases where
the tissues have been frozen for some
time they are SO nearly killed that
gangrene follows and the part is de-
stroyed.
In order to prevent freezing of the
exposed parts of the body keep the
blood circulating in them by continu-
Gus movement and friction by rubbing
and slapping with the hands
The severe local effect of cold is
known as a frost-bite. The low tenn
perature depresses or slows the cir
culation in the part exposed and If this
continues until complete stoppage OF
the blood has occurred. the part may
become white and freeze solid.
First Symptoms Of Freezing.
The first symptoms of freezing are
tingling and sharp stabbing pains.

were lighted with many lanterns. and
dotted over the lawn were great white
cotton umbrellas, such as are used for
shade on wagons. They were on long
stakes driven into the ground, and had

were underneath.

dances. There was a large platform

Why Its Publishers First Accept,

The late Charles Dudley Warner,
who collaborated with Mark Twain in
writing "The Gilded Age" In which
the immortal Colonel Mulberry Sell
ers was introduced to the world. told
me this story of how the book that
gave Mark Twain a permanent place
among American humorists came to
be accepted by It's first publishers
Out of series of newspaper
letters that he wrote while touring the
Orient Mark Twain built his book,
'Innocents Abroad" said Mr.. Warner,
whose fame as a humorist of the re-
fined type lives after him. The book
completed, 1t looked for a time as
though Its author would be unable to
find publisher for It, Finally
probably in sort of desperation, but
] do not know for certainty how he
came to do it-Mark Twain submitted
the manuscript to firm of Hartford,
Conn, publishers, whose productions
were sold exclusively by subscription;
and looking back on 1t now 1t does
seem the height of audacity for a com.
paratively unknown author of books
to contemplate having a book of the
extraordinary character of Innocents
Abroad sold by subscription.

ported upon very unfavorably-a cir.
cumstance probably due to the fact
that the work was along entirely orig
inal lines; and in addition, have al
ways suspected that great deal of
its humor was not appreciated by the
readers.
With their report to the board OF
directors the readers turned over the
manuscript of the book There fol
lowed lively discussion among the
directors as TO the propriety of ac-
cepting or rejecting the manuscript
upon the report of the readers. Some
of the directors criticised severely

Home Remedies.
In slight burns the pain may be
lessened considerably by applying a

ordinary baking soda. Oil of any
kind, as linseed oil. may be used in a
similar manner to protect the parts

may be used. as petroleum (vaseline).

Weak solutions of carbolic acid
(phenoD, one part of carbolic to fifty

not only to relieve the pain, but are
also antiseptic, and SO tend to lessen

Importance of Cleanliness.
In applying any dressing do not use
dirty rags or cotton waste as they are
liable to carry germs that may infect
the injured part, and infection is one
of the conditions that we must try to
avoid. When possible use clean
cloths that have been washed and
ironed. clean cotton, or best Of all,
sterile dressings which can usually
be procured at any drug store. The
systemic effect of burns is to cause
nervous shock and If at all severe,
the patient must be Immediately CIV
en- stimulants. Sometimes artificial
respiration is necessary, the method
of which will be given when the treat
ment for drowning is considered
Avoid exposing the patient to cold
while removing any of his clothes or
applying dressings. Keep the body
warm by covering it with warmed
blankets or covers of any kind. Place
around him hot water bottles, any bot
tie or fruit jar filled with hot water,
or heated bricks, will do. Place these
close to the body under the covers,
but avoid having them come in too
close contact with the body, as often
severe burns have been caused by too
close application of artificial heat by
these means,

fully chosen beforehand; for Ardmore
was very exacting in such matters
and had an eye to the comforts O
