Iodine for Wounds.

Professor Reclus at the last meet
ing of the Academy Of Medicine of
Paris said in every ambulance, train,
railway station or big contract works
there should be a flask of fresh tine
ture or iodine-one part iodine crys-
tails to nine parts alcohol-which
should be renewed every week. Paint
the fresh flesh wound freely with
French strength tincture of iodine.
Let it dry. Then cover with aseptic
cotton and bandage. On the evening
of next day repeat, and bandage as
before. And thereafter paint at still
longer intervals until it Is not re-
painted for three or four days. Reclus
says French tincture of iodine over
eight days old is N. G., and irritating,
Fresh tincture smarts only little

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
OFTEN is MUCH BETTER.
Biunders and Mistakes Usually A3e
Made Through Ignorance and the
Erring Ones Are in Need
of Help and Pity.

Many of us are apt to condemn toe
readily those who make mistakes and
who do things that jar upon us. In all
probability they are quite miserable
enough when they realize they are In
the wrong. Instead Of our reproaches
they need our cheer and sympathy;
they want encouragement from us.
They perhaps pine for words like
these: Never mind; try again. You've
failed, but don't give up hope"
Those who deliberately do wrong or
foolish things with their eyes open are
comparatively very small in number;
most Of the blunders and mistakes are
made through ignorance. Therefore
one should not be too ready to con-
denim, but rather to help and pity.
When we make mistakes we don't
like being blamed and ridiculed for
them. What we all do when we have
blundered is to at once seek our own
sympathetic friend and tell her all
about our trouble. We usually get
what we expect-wise counsel and
sound advice.
That is what the more helpful girl
should always aim alto be a stand
by in time of trouble.
Il like So-and-So," said a girl once,
because when | make errors or get
Into a scrape with my work she is al
ways such a grand little standby
She doesn't call me silly or headstrong
n of
bricks; she just listens to my troubles
and then cheers me up and tells me
how to avoid the same mistake next
time"
Are you a standby" to your friends
when they are in difficulties, or do you
upbraid them and then run away?
The stanch, loyal girl makes excuses
for her friends mistakes, and then
sets to work to see how she can help
her to mend matters.
She does not tell her friends that
SO-and-So has made a ridiculous blum
der. No; she is careful to keep it as
quiet as possible, because the stand
by girl realizes the world is apt to
misjudge the hasty girl and put her
down as impossible.
AS matter of fact, all she wants Is
to be put on the right road with a
feeling that there is some one to back
her up and be kind to her. We all
know how humiliating it is to have our
mistakes blazoned abroad by some one
who thinks it is quite grand to take
her friend down peg or two. Such
behavior is really contemplate.
We should always be ready to put
out the hand of help and sympathy to
to those who want it. 1t is SO easy
to make mistakes and so hard to be
sneered at for them. Determine to be
standby" girl-a girl who sticks tC
one who is in difficulties.

q Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific ocean covers 6S,000,0 900
miles, the Atlantic 30,0O0,000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic az, 100000.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cific it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 94S,OOO, 1000, 100000 100000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth of
not quite three miles. It's water weighs
825 OO,OOO,OOO, 900, 100000 tons, and a
tank to contain it would have each of
Ats sides 43 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. 1t would take
all the sea water in the world 1000, 900
years to flow over Niagara.

Measuring the Stars.

No star has yet been foune *ith a
paraIlax as much as one second of
arc, and it is practically certain that
there exists none near enough to have
that amount of parallax. In the south
ern hemisphere there is bright star,
known as Alpha Centauri, with par
aIlax of three-quarters Of a second.
tT-be distance of this nearest of all
etars is about twenty-six millions of
millions of miles-nearly three mil
lion times as far from us as the sun, a
distance from which light would take
four and one-quarter years to reach
us Something is known now of the

tiller. He felt a curious thrill pass
ment later that this man was Jeekum.
Two men seized the oars amidships.
A fourth, with his rife across his
knees, sat facing Neil.
For the first time Nathaniel found
himself wondering what this voyage
meant. Were they to be rowed far
down the shore to some secret fast
ness where no other ears would hear
the sound Of the avenging rifles, and
where, a few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke of the oars
added to the remoteness of this pos
sibility. The boat was heading
straight out to sea. Perhaps they were
to meet less terrible death by drown
ing, an end which, though altogether
unpleasant, held something comforting
in it for Captain Plum. Two hours
passed without pause in the steady
labor of the men at the oars. In those
hours not a word was spoken. The
two men amidships held no communi-
cation. The guard in the bow moved
little now and then only to relieve
his cramped limbs. Neil was abso-
Iutely motionless, as though he had
ceased to breathe. Jeekum uttered
not a whisper.
It was his whisper that Nathaniel
waited for, the signaling clutch of his
fingers, the sound of his breath close
to his ears. Again and again he
pressed himself against the sheriff's
knees. He knew that he was under
stood, and yet there came no answer.
At last he looked up, and Jeekum's
face was far above him, staring
straight and unseeing into the dark
ness ahead His last spark of hope
went out.

Probably Got Off.

Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey, at a dinner in Washington,
told a story about young sailor.
1.-The sailor, after long voyage, -
he said, went ashore in the tropics,
and, it being hot day, he drank, In
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
CAS- the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along palm-bordered ave-
nue., his captain hailed him indig-
nantly.
Look here the captain said, sup
pose you were my commander. and
you met me in such condition as
you're in now, what would you do to
me-?
Why, SIR said the sailor, 7 would
mt condescend to take no notice OF
you at all, SIR"

that might come to him from the
white faced man at his side. Each
passing moment of silence added TO
his desperation. He squeezed the
sher1ff's hand in his arm, but there
was no responding signal; in a patch
or thick gloom that almost concealed
the figures ahead he pressed near to
him and lowered his head again
and Jeekum pushed him back fercely,
with low curse.
They emerged from the forest and
the clear starlight shone down upon
them. A little distance off lay the
lake in shimmering stiffness. Nathan
lei looked boldly at the sheriff now,
and as his glance passed beyond him
he was amazed at the change that had
come over Neil. The young mans
head was bowed heavily upon his
breast, his shoulders were hunched
forward, and he walked with a list
less, uneven step. Was it possible
that his magnificent courage had at
last given way?
A hundred steps farther they came
to the beach and Nathaniel saw a
boat at the waters edge with single
figure guarding it. Straight to this
Jeekum led his prisoners. For the
first time he spoke to them aloud.

into the bow of the boat and sat down
with his chin still on his chest, like a
man lost in stupor.
Nathaniel followed him, scarcely be-
lieving his eyes, and sat himself in
the stern, leaning comfortably against
the knees of the man who took the

CHAPTER XII.
"The STRAIGHT Death"


Hands were fumbling with the chain
at the dungeon door
1t opened and Jeekums ashen face
shone In the candle-light. For moment
his frightened eyes rested on the two
men still standing in their last en-
brace of friendship. A word of be-
trayal from them and he knew that
his own doom was sealed.
He came in, followed by four men.
One of them was MacDougall, the
kings whipper. In the corridor were
other faces, like ghostly shadows in
the darkness. Only MacDougall's face
was uncovered. The others were hid
den behind white masks. The men
uttered no sound, but ranged them
selves like specters in front of the
door, their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms. There was
hips as he and the jailer approached.
AS the whipper bound Neil's hands
behind his back he Kissed in his ear:
"This will be better job than the
whipping, damn you!"
Neil laughed.
Hear that, Nat?" he asked, loud
enough for all in the cell to hear.
"MacDougall says this will be better
job than the whipping. He remem-
bers how I thrashed him once when
he said something to Marion one day"
Neil was as cool as though acting
l. &C.
flushed, his eyes cleaned fearlessly
defiant And Nathaniel, looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope of
life, felt a twinge of shame at his
own nervousness. MacDougall grew
black with passion at the haunting re-
minder of his humiliation and tight
ened the thongs about Neirs wrists
until they cut into the flesh.
That's enough, you coward" ex-
claimed Nathaniel, as he saw the
blood start 'Here-take this!"
Like lightning he struck out and his
fist fell with crushing force against
the side of the mans head. Mac
Dougall toppled back with a hollow
groan, blood squirting from his mouth
and nose. Nathaniel turned coolly to
the four rifles leveled at his breast.
"a pretty puppet to do the kings
commands!" he cried. "If there's a
man among you let him finish the
work."
Jeekum had fallen upon his knees
beside the whipper.
Great Cod" he shrieked. You've
killed him! You've stove in the side
of his head"
There was a sudden commotion in
the corridor A terrible voice doomed
forth in a roar.
Let me I'M"
Strang stood in the door. He gave
a single glance at the man gasping
and bleeding in the mud. Then he
looked at Nathaniel. The eyes of the
two men met unf1inching. There was
no hatred now in the prophets face.
Captain Plum, would give tenth
of my kingdom for brother like
you" he said calmly. "Here-I will
finish the work" He went boldly to
the task. and as he tied Nathaniels
Frms behind him he added "The vicIs
