REPLACE ABSORBENT COTTON.

Recent consular reports mention
several more or less successful cheap
substitutes for absorbent cotton that
have been introduced since the Eu-
ropean war began. One of these, now
on sale in Berlin, is known as Gig
nin." and is made of pine cellulose. 1t
is said to absorb blood better than
cotton, but cannot compete with the
latter as dressing for wounds. 1t is
however, pronounced satisfactory for
use as a second dressing. A cellulose
wadding, made by a secret process
from chemical wood pulp, is now
offered as dressing for wounds in
Sweden. 1t comes in very thin sheets
resembling tissue paper. The use
OF sterilized sphagnum moss for the
same purpose appears to have been
generalized by the exigencies arising
from the war.-Scientific American.

WAS NOT HIS TIME TO DIE
British Altman May Truly Be Said
to Have Escaped by the "skin
of His Teeth.

The flying corps of all the armies
have distinguished themselves for
daring and gallantry during the pres
ent war. An eye witness at the Brit
ish headquarters, says the Field, tells
about one thrilling episode that was
more sensational than most of the
adventurous exploits that occur
along the front almost daily.
A British airman, alone in a
single-seated aeroplane, saw and pur-
sued German machine. While try
ing to reload his machine gun he lost
control of his steering gear, and the
aeroplane turned upside down. The
belt round the mans waist was
rather loose, and the jerk almost
threw him out of the machine; but
he saved himself by clutching hold
on the rear center strut, while the
belt slipped down round his legs.
AS he hung thus, head downward,
making desperate efforts to disen-
gage his legs, the aeroplane fell from
height of 5000 feet to about $500
feet, spinning round and round like
a falling leaf. At last he managed
to free his legs and reach the control
lever with his foot. Then he sue
ceeded in Fighting the machine,
which turned slowly over, completely
looping the loop.g Thereupon the
pilot slid back into his seat and came
composedly to the ground.

FLATTERER NOT A FRIEND
Only the One Who Can Bring Out the
Best That Is in Us May Be Called
by That Name.

Loyalty is not blind adherence; it
is clear-sighted devotion to the high
est interest of friend. 1t will not
hesitate to oppose an unwise plan,
to tear away the bandage which
closes the eyes to unwelcome truth !;
it will bear misunderstanding and
jeopardize loss CT friendship, if these
are the price Of loyalty to the high
est interests Of a friend.
For friendship can have no sure
foundation save the frankness Of alb
solute truth, and loyalty no aim save
service to the higher nature of a
friend. Our friends are not those
who are silent when we make mis-
takes and fiatter us when we do less
than our best, tAcy are those 'who
make us do what we can"
Such friend is not only a de-
lightful companion by the way, but
a fellow traveller who makes the goal
clear when fatigue and doubt cloud
the vision, and resolutely urges us
onward when we are tempted to fall
Ter in the quest; and such friend
ship is the highest expression of
integrity; it ic a noble form of serv-
ice to the world.-The Outlook.
