Treatment of Burns.

The first duty to be performed in
connection with burns or scalds will
be the removal of clothing from the
affected part The clothing should be
cut off and such portions as may adj
here to the burned surface should be
either floated off by immersing the
burned part in a bath Of tepid or
warm water, or in lieu Of this the part
should be thoroughly soaked with
olive oil so as to loosen the portions
of clothing which may be attached to
the burned surface.
After the removal OF clothing from
the burn the dressing of the injury
forms the next step. Any form OF
oily dressing which can be had may
be used for the treatment OF burns.
typical application consists OF equai
parts of linseed oil and lime water, or
any oil of thick consistency may be
used. ranging from castor oil to ordin"
ary olive oil or to vaseline or lanollne.

come to-"
The colonel looked the fiery young
speaker sternly in the eye, and said
something about unsoldierly conduct.
1T would be unmanly conduct for
me 10 let the boys trusted to me die,
because / was afraid to speak out, "
flung back the captain. "And l know

Let me advise you to give him wide

II mean nothing of the kind, sir.

done in a corner"
We'll, well, keep cool, Captain,
you're too good a fellow to fling your
self away Wait and see if / can't get
something definite out of the general

Whereupon the captain departed
with outward decent gloom and in
ward premonitions of rejoicing, for
when he had hit a nail on the head he
had eyes to see. And the colonel be-
took himself, hot-foot, to the pompous
old soldier in charge of the camp, who
happened to be a man Of fixed belief
in himself, but, If he feared anything,
was afraid of a newspaper reporter.
The colonel gave him the facts, spar
ing no squalid detail; indeed, adding
few picturesque embellishments
from his own observations. He cut
short the others contemptuOus criti-
cism of boy soldiers, and his com
parison with the hardships endured

say! I don't wonder that young fell
low from Chicago talks hard!"
You're excited, colonel; you forget
yourself"
Il am excited, general; I'm desper-
ate! Will you walk round the camp
with me?'
The end of the colloquy was that
the captain saw the general and the
colonel and told the first lieutenant,
who told the first sergeant, whose
name was Spruce. Captains kicked
to the colonel l guess" says Spruce,
''and coloners kicked to the general
That's the talk. Git ready, boys, and
pack" True enough, the camp was
moved the very next day
Il guess captain will make an Off
Ger If he lives and don't git the big
head" Spruce moralized. It's mighty
prevalent in the volunteers"
The captain wrote the whole ac-
count home to one single confidant-
his father-and him he swore to Sc
crecy. The captains father was the
man who had committed Company G
to Spruce's good Offices. He sent a
check to the company and a special
box of cigars to Spruce. And Spruce,
knowing nothing of the intermediary,
felt more brilliant pride in his adopt
ed town, and Dragged of it's virtues
more vehemently than ever. The
camp was not moved soon enough
Pneumonia and typhoid fever ap-
peared. One by one the boys of the
regiment sickened. Presently one by
one they began to die.
Then Spruce suggested to the cap
tain: Il guess I'd be more good in
the hospital than l am here Cap
tain. And the captain (who was
scared, poor lad, and had visions of
the boys mothers demanding the
wasted lives of their sons at his
hands, had his best sergeant put on

And by degrees he began to feel for
the young volunteer reflection of
the worship which had secretly been
offered to a certain fat little bald
headed captain of the old -steenth.

should have his triumph-quite as

back and say good-by, Christ
Il amt off yet" said Spruce, "and
| amt too sure l will be. They're al.
ways Citing orders and making an
everlasting hustle to pack up, and
then unpacking. You go to sleep"
He was about to move away, but
Danvers detained him, saying that he
wanted to be turned; and as the sol
der gently turned him, the boy got
one of his hands and gave it a squeeze
He tried to say something, but was
barely able to give Spruce a foolish
smile. Spruce, you're a soldier and
gentleman" he stammered He
turned away his head to hide the
tears in his eyes. But Spruce had
seen them. Of course he made no
sign, stepping away briskly, with a
little pat on the lean shoulder.
He came back softly in a little
while. He looked at Danvers, who
was Stimulating sleep, with his dark
lashes fallen over red eyelids, and he
shook his head. During his absence
he had found that the orders were no
rumor. The regiment was going to
Porto Rico sure enough. Spruce stood
a moment, before he sat down by
Danvers' side But he barely was
seated ere he was on his feet again,
in a nervous irritation which none had
ever seen in Spruce. He walked to
the door of the tent and gazed. in the
same attitude that the nurse had
gazed, an hour earlier, at the low,
white streets.

He frowned and f1dgeted In fact,

Spruce's soul was not, however, anger,
it was the temptation of his life.
The boys needed him. But if he stay

ment and the company and the cap
tain and the chance to distinguish
himself and march back in glory to
his town.

the head of the line; and he always
could see the captain, later in the
day, presenting him to his father:
Here's Sergeant Spruce, who has
coached us ALL" He had overheard
those very words once said to a girl
visiting the camp, and they chung to
his memory with the persistent sweet
ness of the odor of violets
Today he was thinking much more
of the captain than OF young Dan
vers. though Danvers ranked next in
his good will. Danvers was a college
lad who had begged and clustered his
mother into letting him go. He would
not let her know how i'll he was. but
had the captain write to his married
sister, in the same town but not the
same house. She, in sore perplexity,
wrote to both the captain and Spruce
and kept her trunk packed, expecting
a telegram. Danvers used to talk of
her and of his mother and of his lit
tie nephews and nieces to Spruce, at
first in mere broken sentences-this
was when he was so i'll they expected
that he might die any day-later in
little happy snatches Of Renaissance.
He was perfectly aware that he owed
his life to Spruce's nursing; and he
gave Spruce the same admiration
which he had used to give the great
man who commanded the university
football team.
Spruce's heart, simple and tender
affair. as a soldiers is, oftener than
people know. swelled within him, not
for the first time.
"Well, guess l done right to come
here" thought he, and l guess all
the G boys will be out of the woods
this week, and then 1 don't care how
soon we git our orders"
Danvers stopped him when he re-
turned 81 want to speak to you,

little gasp. What are you giving
me?"

Spruce's eyes burned, he was mind
ed to make some EXPLANATIONS of pro-
fame joy, but his mood fell at the
sight of the boys quivering smile.
Great, isn't it," said Danvers. 81
