very simple remedy, such as the APP
plication of cold over the brow by
means of a cloth wrung out of quite
cold water or by snuiGIng a little
cold water up the nostrils.
There are certain old fashioned
remedies, such as putting the key
of the front door down the back,
which do neither harm nor good,
but which owe th>ir origin to the
same theory-the application of
cold and shock.
When cold water is snuffed up
through the nostrilS the addition Of
some mild astringent-alum or tan
min, for ezample-will make the
treatment more quickly ef1icacious.
Sometimes, when other slight
remedies seem to fail, pressing on
the nostrils will succeed in stopping
the flow.
As to internal remedies, there is
none known that is of any avail in
a dangerous nosebleed, and when
the danger point is reached there is
nothing to do but plug the nostrils.
When this treatment is called for
the physician should be tent for to
apply it, because he can by examina-
ton locate the exact point Of bleed
ing and will know just where the

1t looks like another cabinet prob
lem for President Taft, if the charges
made against Postmaster General
Hitchcock are sustained by the facts.
Ballinger is not the only barnacle on
Captain Taft's ship of state, if Post
master General Hitchcock is losing
to the government oyer half mil
lion a year heretofore paid by the
railroads as fines for avoidable delays
of the mails in transit. In 1907 the
revenues from this source were
1907, 1888. In 1908 they were $685.
1853, while in 1909 the collections
dropped to $3.50 This year, it is
charged, no fines are being imposed,
the Postmaster General having de-
cided that the railroads keep as
nearly as possible to their schedules,
and therefore should not be fined.
The Pioneer Press we'll says that the
postmaster generals reasoning will
strike the layman as at least peculi-
ar. and that while the railroads
make an honest effort to keep their
trains on schedule time on the trunk
lines. the fact remains that on
branch lines there is often DISPOSE

NOSEBLEED.
I'm Most Cases It Is Said to DO More

In Most Gases 1t Is SAID 20 10 More

Epistaxis-that is to say, nose
bleed-is an accident which will
sometimes occur in the best resu-
lated families and happily in most
cases need occasion no alarm. In
fact, it may often be hailed as an
advantageous symptom, especially
when it occurs in healthy, full
blooded young people. There are
also certain diseases, such as
Bright's or cirrhosis of the liver or
typhoid fever, when an attack of
nosebleed may do good rather than
harm-when it is, in fact, simply a
sign that Mother Nature is trying
to relieve her child in one way be-
cause she is baked in another.
In these cases the flow is benef-
cial, but the subject of the attack
should be watched in order that
there should not be undue profu-
sion, leading to weakening of the
vital forces or if too prolonged to
a genuine anaemia.
When an attack of nosebleeC

the railroads get paid about four

is no good reason why the postmas-

Quaint Election Methods.

With the South African elections
in progress it is interesting to recall
how some of the local elections were
conducted before the war, The
weld cornet, in the old days in the
Transvaal, acted as a magistrate
where petty cases were concerned;
but, besides this, he was the gen.
eral guide and counsellor for the
district over which he presided, and
as consequence, in order to carry
out satisfactorily the duties of his
position, man was required who
not only possessed the confidence of
the people, but was endowed with
higher mental qualification than the
ordinary.
There were always few men in
such districts who stood head and
shoulders above the general COM
munity in these attributes, and as
the position of weld cornet was one
that conferred great dignity on its
possessor, the competition between
these men to obtain the coveted po-
sition was very keen, and long be-
fore election day arrived their sup
porters were busy canvassing. The
election took place in the most con-
Yenient centre and the burghers
came in from far and near to record
their votes, which they did orally.
The representative of the candidates
sat in the room set apart for this
purpose, and as each voter entered
he went up to the man he required
and gave him his name. This Civ
ing of names was the sole means of
deciding the contest. The agent for
the candidate supported wrote down
the voters name in his book, and at
dusk, when the bookswere compared,
the candidate whose book contained
the most names was the victor. All
the burghers were known personally
to the agents, and no deception was
possible. Only one voter was allowed
in the room at one time, and there
fore no one except the candidates
representatives knew how each man
voted. They were bound not to di-
vulge details, and they invariably
proved true to their word in this
respect.
| Only the head Of each family had
the privilege of recording his vote.
| A list was made out and posted up
on the Kantoor Courthouse Of those
burghers who failed to do their duty
in this respect. and the man whose
name figured on this list was liable
to come in for a good deal of CEN
sure, unless some cause over which
he had no control, such as illness,
prevented him from coming in. Nc
payment was made in cash for as.
sistance given to candidate, but
the workers generally received 9

and the nature of the work they haC
done. The whole proceedings were
invariably carried through in the
best spirit, and no brawling or I'M

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Discussed at Legislative Hearing in Mont
pelier Last Night

The hearing before the House judiciary
committee last evening on the bills to
abolish capital punishment failed to
bring out any great interest. The com
.mittee has three bills on the subject be-
fore it, one to abolish this mode of pun
ishment altogether and the others to
allow iuries to find verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree and to
qualify it by adding with or without
capital punishment.
The only persons to appear before the
committee were Mr.. Ellis of Brookfeld,
who also introduced the straight abolish
ment bill. and Mr.. Howard of Whiting
Mr.. Ellis contented himself by stating
that he was opposed to the idea Of cap
ital punishment, but did not insist upon
his bill being reported favorably, as he
thought one of the other bills stood
better chance of passage.
Mr.. Howard was also constitutionally
opposed to capital punishment, as he con-
sidered that he as an individual had no
right to take a life except in defense OF
his own or of those who had a right to
look to him for protection. He consid-
cred the state had no more right to do
this than he had He asked the com
mittee if they could not report the bill
favorably to report it without recon-
mendstion, so that il could be discussed
in the House without the prejudice of
an adverse report.

Mayor Gaynor is to determine its Off

their demand that only union men be

public opinion was against it. That

Its Importance In Showing What Can
