A wag, entering an empty railway COM
partment lately, happened to notice the
legend "Wait until the train stops" above
the door, and, thinking TO have joke on
somebody, he dexterously erased The "t'
in train" AT the next station an old
country dame got in ard seated herself.
A very heavy storm OF rain now came
on, and when the train drew up at the
next station the good old lady looked
anMously out the window. After short
stay the train again started on its way, to
the old lady's amazement.
"Yer'S purity 60, sir, she said, turn

First Aid For the Burnt Child.

All children will play with fire unless
they have been taught, either by precept
or experience, not TO do so, and accidents
will happen even when every precaution
has been taken. II is, therefore, most
desirable in the case of severe burns, that
parents should know what-and above
all what MOTTO do while waiting for the
doctor TO come.
The first thing is 10 fight shock with all
the resources at command, because shock
is usually the immediate cause of death.
Too often shock is aggravated rather than
helped by the treatment il receives.
Valuable time is wasted, and unueces-
sary agony caused, in trying TO remove
the clothing then various applications
OF oil or OF whatever else the distracted
bystanders may have heard was good for
burns are made, until by the time the
doctor arrives irremediable mischief is
done
Do not waste time in any such way,
but Immediately prepare a warm salt
water bath, and gently place the child in
II, clothes and all. II the clothes are
much burned, the warm water will make
them easier TO remove, and the child can
be kept i'll the bath until the pulse and
the temperature show that a reaction from
the shock has taken place. II will often
be necessary Tor some strong and careful
person to kneel and hold the patient in
the best position.
Even after the child has been placed in
bed with the proper dressings, the bath
should be given again if there are indica-
tons that shock is returning. Always
remember that speed is essential even
the slightest delay is dangerous.
Almost every one believes that in the
case OF burns, water is always harmful
and oil always helpful. You will be wise
to reverse the rule, and learn it by heart.
In case Of burns, fill the bath with warm
water, adding salt in the proportion OF
teaSpoonfu to pint OF water, and hold
the child in it, clothes and all, until the
doctor arrives.
