A,hes Used As HeaIea.

Frankfort, Germany, July 16.-A surgeon whose work is almost exclu- siveIy among. the Cossacks has shown the medical world of Europe a new wrinkle in the speedy and handy heal ing of dangerous wounds-especiaI when in the field and far from hos pitals. The means consists simply of applying to the wound a thick coat ing of ashes-preferably made by burning cotton or wool cloth-and then binding it up with the Abandage which every soldier carries The ashes seem to draw the pain from the wound, and to act curatively in a re- markedly short space of time. The method is particularly effective in saber and bayonet wounds.

THE FALL IN. PRICE or BONDS.

The present level of prices Of rail- road. industrial and municipal securf- ties has a serious lesson in it for the average person who has small prop erty to invest.
 The average well secured bond Is selling at least 10 per cent. less than it sold for five years ago. The stocks Of the soundest and best managed railroads must have fallen 25 per cent Part of this may be due to liquidation caused by. the European war, business depression, and other special causes. But there are few who seriously expect to see stocks and bonds recover uI1eir full loss.
 A man who a. few years ago put S1O,0 into standard stocks and bonds, has today only $7.5oO to i$9,O Of his money left, if indeed he has as much as that. His reason for invest ing in these securities was common ly because he could get a little higher rate of interest than could be had in a saving bank. But for every dollar gained in interest, he has lost $10 in depreciation of principal. Of course if he holds on to good stocks, and retains his bonds until maturity, (which comparatively few people do0 /, he will recover a large share of his loss. But comparatively few will get back what they invested.
 The above reasoning is based on the prices only of good securities where the property is perfectly good. In a. great many other eases where the security was of doubtful or specu1a- tive value, a large part of the original investment has been 1osA often the whole of it.
 There are many people who when a new enterprise is proposed for their home town will refuse to take any stock in it, although we'll able to do so. Then they will buy the securi- ties of some great railroad or corpor- ation whose proverty they never saw and of whose managers they know nothing. There may be cliques handling that corporation contrary to the interest of the general public, of which investors are wholly ignorant. All of which goes to show that when people invest their money away from home. they very frequently go farther and fare worse.

 The manner in which Frank Holt or Brick Muehter, the assaiIant of MT Morgan, met his death in the Nassau County jail will be definitely deter mined today at MineoIa. when the CorDnsr's inquiry will end. Several prsoners who occupied cells near that cf Holt will testify.
 NAn9onio Pe1egrino, who occupied the cell near that of Holt, said that he heard fIolt leave his cell and crawl up tic hars outside. He could not see Holt, but theard him reach the second tier and then mheard "a. thSld when HoEts body hit the floor.

Try to Beat Dry, Law.

Berlin. July 16,-'Despefate chances in obtaining liquor have been taken by the Russian Cossacks and sundry civilians in trying to get around the prohibition rules of the great empire, according to stories that drift back to Germany by way of returning troops.
 Not long after the hated order or ukase went into effect there began a wholesale transportation of liquor to- ward the inner part of Russia from the towns and cities in the west. Those in charge of the big shipments, as their first move ins turning a penny, began to report that many of the bot ties had been broken in transit.
 They failed to state that the con- tents first had been sold to the Cos sacks, but they had to give up this transparent ruse when the breaking became to aiarmingly great to open the eyes of the authorities. The next game was to become the victim of a robber attack. The liquor transporters again and again were found beside their teams or wagons, bound and gagged, while their wares were gone.
