Eco Membrane For Skin.

For a long time doctors have been
looking for Il good substitute for hui
man skin for grating. The possibility
has lately been demonstrated by taking
the membrane that lines the shell Of
newly laid eggs, plastering it over the
burn ana making it grow as human
skin. The discovcrer of this process
was treating Il child who had pre-
viously been burned and in breaking
raw egg which he desired the child to
swallow dropped part Of the membrane
by accident upon the burn and band
aged the wound. Later OH it was dis
covered that the accidental placing OF
the egg membrane over the burn had
caused cells to augment in number and
gradually to extend over the wound
until. at the end of some weeks, the
surface was completely covered with
the new skin. The treatment was call
ed to the attention of physicians. and
it is now being used to cure Scalds.-.

The Wild TURKEY
Furnishes Keen Excitement to the
Hunter on His Track.
L0PES ALONG LIKE OSTRICH.
Alternately Runs and Flies, Using His
Wings When Pursuit of Sportsman's
Dog Becomes Daneerous--ouick to
Sense Danger.

Big, beautiful, brave and wise. the
wild turkey is ideal game for the Unit
ed States. He is big enough to satisfy
some of the material craving Of even
the big game hunter. He eludes the
still hunter as subtly as the Shiest deer
He gives the cross country rider courS-
ing him with hound and horse, a run
that often is equal to fox hunting. The
wing shot finds him equal to the occa-
sion. He is the finest game bird in the
world, says an enthusiast in the Bos-
ton Transcript. Not even the royal
auerhahn. sole living representative OF
the ancient big game world of Europe
when the huge aurochs crashed through
the forests, can compare with him.
Hunting the wild bird with hound
and horse is sport for the very select
few, for not only is it necessary to find
the birds first, but they must be found
in open country where they cannot es-
cape too readily by flying into cover.
Therefore, cOursing is limited to open
country, where the turkey. not having
been hunted too fervently. is incautious
enough to feed in farm lands and open.
flat country. The dogs are sent in to
cut off the retreat to the woods and
then the mounted men break out Of
their hiding places and pound down on
them.
The wild turkey flies and runs alter
nately. He lopes like an ostrich, though
not so fast. and whenever lie thus takes
to running the dogs and horses gam
on him. When they get unpleasantly
close, up boomS the big bird and flies
like Il feathercd proiectile straight
ahead until he has reached n safe dis
lance, when he pitches again and re-
sumes running.
1t is clean sport and exciting enough
to hurry any mans blood, But the
true hunting of the wild turkey. with
shotgun or rifle, that tests Il mans
strength and cunning and wOOdcraft
and patience to the full, is still hunt
ing.
When a wild turkey is tracked on
snow he will lead the shooter a chase
of miles. The turkey can hear as
keenly as he can see. 4 cracking twig
underfoot will startle him more quick
ly even than it will a deer. Often the
man will not be able to get II shot, al
though he may follow flock all day
long. Often he will get his shot only
after he has actually walked the birds
down-tired them out 10y close, patient.
grim pursuit. The man who can do
that is an athlete.
West Virginia contains thousands Of
acres of hunting country that is in
many respects as wild rs it was he
fore the white men landed in America.
Western North Carolina has turkeys.
particularly between the Blue Ridge
and the Great Smoky mountains, ana
thence on across into Tennessee the
turkey hunter can still find surpriS-
ingly large tracts of hunting country
where not only turkeys, but deer and
bear. hide in the thicketS.

Dance at Town Hall.

A large number of both old and

evening, New Years night, for a so
cial dance of the old-time style. A
big time was enjoyed, and the best of
order prevailed, and it reminded one
of the old days you read about when
all the men were gallant and court
eous, and all the women beautiful and
graceful. 1t was 1890 before the final
set was concluded, and all departed
for their homes, tired but happy.
And the boys swept up the hall next
day, so as to leave things nice and til
dy, which was another good feature of
the affair.
