covering over the hair to protect the

Office Boys Ambition.

The office boy was confiding to me
the other day his ambitions to be q
big man with our firm. He wanted to
sit in private Office, take couple
of hours for lunch md lord 1t" over
couple of hundred employees as does

of this joint some day." he told me.
But that office boy is doomed to dis
appointment unless he changes his
ways materially In the next few yeasr.
In the first place, he's a loafer. He
never does anything unless he is told.
It's because he doesn't use his brain
that he appears stupid. He never uses
his powers OF intuition. He can't out
guess the boss and beat him to an
idea" He lacks forethought and he's
growing worse every day. Until that
boy overcomes that listless inanity
he'll never amount to anything.-Ex-

GOOD TREATMENT
OF ANIMAL. WOUNDS
Few Injuries Are Materially Bene-

Professionals.

alcohol, vinegar, carbolic acid, irritat-
ing oils, and even mineral acids are
frequently used in the treatment OF
animal wounds and then because the
patient RECEIVERS in spite of barbarous
treatment people enormously con-
clude that the medicine cured.
Bleeding can usually be checked
quite easily. If the blood is from a
large number of small vessels,
hemorrhage can be checked and final
ly stopped by the means of ice and
by very hot or very cold water, or
the wound may be packed in clean
cotton or oakum and tightly bandaged.
In case a large blood vessel is sew
cred the artery may be secured by
means of small forceps or even hook
made by bending a pin or piece of
wire.
In some cases hemorrhage can be
easily controlled by tight bandage
placed above or below the wound. Ii
the blood flows in a steady stream
the bandage should be on the side
farthest from the heart.
If it flows in jets. the bandage
should be tied between the wounu
and the heart.
Comparatively few wounds are ma
terially benefited by sewing, band
aging or washing except in profes-
sion hands.
If the wound is made lengthwise OF
the muscle there may be considerable
advantage in holding the sides to-
gether by sewing. No special form
of needle or thread is necessary ex-
cept that both should be clean and the
latter should be of a reasonable size.
a darning needle and ordinary cotton
thread will do very we'll in an emer-
gency.
If the wound is made across the
muscle and gapes widely it is usually
unwise to sew, for the stitches will
cut out in few days and make the
scar much worse than if it had been

Some breeders are bold enough to
castrate their own animals, still more
employ man who makes living as
a gelder, but does not pretend to be a
veterinary surgeon. The danger in
castration is in rupture
So long as the testicles are in the
purse, and their cords are occupying
to a great extent the orifices in the
belly the obtrusion into the scrotum
of small knuckle of intestine may
be overlooked unless a very careful
examination is made; indeed it may
then escape the intending operators
notice, if the colt has been well fast
ened and placed upon his back, re-
naming there for minute or two, as
during this time the small portion of
gut will often slip back into the abdo-
men.
For this, among other reasons, an
old hand will prefer to have the ami
NAL on his side while making an ex-
animation. Some will squeeze the
larynx to make the animal cough by
way of test. If another person does
the squeezing Gas for wind patients of
adults), the castrator's fingers upon
the cords of the testicles will tell him
of bulge and he will then exercise
special precautions.
1t is far better to let the colt get up
again and sacrifice the time than to
proceed without all necessary appli-
ances. Ruptured colts should never
be entrusted to gelders without ana
tomical knowledge, or not possessing
a reputation for operating upon such
cases.
The animal should be prepared by
long fasting, placed upon his back,
rendered limp by 1.-The inhalation of
chloroform, and the testicles removed
while the horse is insensible and un-
likely to struggle.
The veterinary surgeon may choose
to put in two or more stitches of solu-
BILE material across the oTifice now no
longer partly occupied by the cord.
If his hands and all things used by
him have been rendered antiseptic
this will probably be the best plan.

fore sufficient or sufficiently strong
plastic material has been thrown out
to guard the entrance to the abdomen,
or exit for the bowels as we fear 1t
might prove.
A further precaution may therefore
be taken by putting few stitches OF
insoluble silk through the empty purse
rather close up to the belly. This
should be well saturated with an anti
septic as we do not want formation
of pus, although we may have to leave
it for three days or more, if the sub
sequent swelling outside the belly does
not satisfy us that it is safe to remove
these outside stitches.
Unless any foreign substance has
gone in while operating, there is ap-
parently little danger of peritonitis or
other i'll results. There are other
methods of operation the details of
which more concern the practicing
veterinary surgeon than the horse
breeder, who should neither attempt
the performance himself nor let an.

1t is to put our readers on their
guard against the reckless assumption

One may say that such cases have
been successfully dealt with, but the
delay is nearly always fatal. If the

catacombs Used by Druids.

Eleven miles southeast of London,
in Kent, few years ago were discov-
cred the catacombs of the ancient Dru-
ids, which are now much visited by
sightseers and are lighted, for part
at least, by electric lights. Over fifty
miles of chambers, cut in the chalk
cliffs, have already been explored. The
Druids lived in these catacombs when
attacked by their northern enemies,
and here they buried many OF their
dead. The stone on which the human
sacrifices were made is still to be
seen, and also the well, from which
water is drawn to this day.

HERE are two beautiful new designs
IL in petticoats to which little hand
embroidery gives touch of real ele-
gance. The designs are simple and
the work not'of the kind which proves
trying to the eyes. Now that Lent is
here and our time is not too fully
occupied it is a real pleasure to sit
down to a little old-fashioned sewing.
One of these petticoats is Of white
nainsook with ruffle of batiste ma
chine stitched to the bottom. The ruff
fie is scalloped and buttonhole-stitched
along the lower edge. 1t may be pur-
chased with the edge ready finished.
The buttonhole stitching is extended
to form small panels.
In each of the panels a spray of
flowers, very simple and easily done,
is embroidered. The sprays are not
all alike; two, or even three, pat
terms are used, or only one, accord
ing to the choice of the individual
The top of the rufde is cut into
short slashes, the edges carefully fin
ished with the buttonhole stitch, and a
satin ribbon threaded through these
slashes by way of a dainty finish.
Blue, pink, lavender or soft gold
color are shown in satin ribbons to
be used for this purpose.
A practical petticoat to be worn
with street suits is made of un-
bleached linen or chambray. Plain
ginghams also provide suitable ma
terial. The petticoat is plain and mar
row, about yard and three-quarters
wide. 1t is slit up at one side along
a seam. The bottom is finished with
q shallow scallop button hole stitched
with a coarse floss.
Two sprays of embroidery, placed at
the sides Of the slash in the skirt,
finish its decoration. The embroidery
is done in white. Stitches are long
and easily done.
Skirts of this kind are made up
in blue, pink, lavender, tan, linen
color and white. They are easily

reality, sweet eighteen to twenty-four;

little too young to prove interesting
outside her own circle of relatives or
schoolmates. The two pretty frocks
for a young girl, pictured here, are
suitable designs for any of the festive
occasions.
1t will be seen that they allow
plenty of freedom for the frolicsome
dances to which youth is just now so
devoted. The materials are supple, and
the skirts sufficiently full.
For these Fascinating dresses soft
sheer fabrics are to be chosen. There
are plenty of them. Voiles (plain or
fowered), chiffon, silk or cotton

laundered. Worn with a fancy corset
cover they provide foundation for
white dresses in the new crepe-like
fabrics which are not sheer but still
allow a color to glow through them.
But these durable and attractive pet
ticoats are to be worn with utility
dresses and are not made for those
of airy fabrics, which will be used
for other wear.
There is a certain satisfaction in
hand-wrought undergarments, and a
certain pride in ones own work which
more than pays for the time spent
upon such simple and practical gar
ments.
