The Modern Treatment OF Wounds.

Since the days OF Lister, the famous
English surgeon who taught the world the
antiseptic treatment of wounds, such in
jures have become far less dangerous TO
life. Formerly it was TO be expected that
wounds, whether produced by accident
or by the knife OF the surgeon, would
suppurate and give trouble before the
healing process could begin. Then came
Lister with his theory that absolute an
tisepsis was possible, and his discovery
that the formation Of pus in wound was
always the result OF infection and might
be prevented.
In former times infection was often the
result OF carelessness on the part of the
surgeon or the nurses, but no one realized
that fact because no other result was con-
sidered as possible. But the medical pro-
feSsion long ago recognized the absolute
truth OF Listers words, "Clean wounds
heal up; unclean wounds suppurate and
refuse TO heal"
The awful war that is now raging in
Europe has brought benefits TO humanity
as well as loss, and one OF those benefits
is the tremendous advance in surgery
an advance that in ordinary times would
have taken many years. The wounds in
modern warfare are so frightful, so des-
tructive and so disfiguring, that the sur
geons have been stimulated TO devise eX
traofdinary methods OF remedy. Many OF
the worst wounds are OF the head and
face, and the results OF the remedial sur-
gerry in such cases are almost miraculous.
The antiseptic treatment of wounds has
also taken great strides. Physicians have
found that they can bring about healing
in wounds that formerly they would have
thought 10 be hopeless. The improved
treatment is largely the work OF French
surgeon, formerly resident in New York,
DR.. Canel, who moi only makes wound
clean but keeps it so by subiecting il TO
constant stream OF some suitable antisep-
tic fluid. which bathes the entire wound
ed surface for days at time. The treat
ment has not only saved much disfigure-
ment but it has actually preserved many
lives that in previous wars would have
been lost

changed the patients about every other
day, as we fixed them up, removed the
shrapnel or bullets and sent them TO a
stationary hospital.
The surgery here is wonderful and |
was rather sorry TO give up that work, as
it was very interesting, especially the gas

We had one over us this morning, and in

The ruined and devasted small towns

Another Atrocious German Trick.

Nine fishermen OF Galway. Ireland,
were blown to pieces a few days ago
while examining German "baTel mine"
which they had found at sea and towed
ashore. Irish fishermen have made lately
great many lucky hauls OF barrels con-
tanning petrol, tallow, oils and similar
treasures, supposedly from torpedoed
ships. This time they saw promising
looking barrel afloat some distance from
land, with a convenient handle on each
side, and they promptly towed it ashore,
rolling it up on the beach for examination.
Four men were in the boat, and six more
gathered around while the prize was on
the beach. One man, Joseph O'Flaherty,
had suspicion of danger, and warned
the others, but they paid nc attention TO
him, and he hid himself behind rock.
One OF the fishermen removed couple
of screws from the head OF the barrel,
and then began TO pull out piece Of
cord. The explosion which followed
was heard miles away, and shook houses
four miles distant.
After time O'Flaherty, who had been
wounded in the head with a piece OF
stone, stood up. but not trace OF the
mine or the men was TO be seen. There
was only great hole in the beach.
Searchers found portion OF the fisher
mems boat nearly mile away. A small
boy whose attention was attracted TO the
group OF men on the shore, was running
toward them just as tlie mine exploded.
One of his arms was afterwards found
near his home, but there was no other
trace of him

Your Fayorite Hymn.

II has never been definitely established
as 10 when Augustus Montague Toplady
wrote "Roek of Ages" but the hymn
first appeared in an unfinished form in
The Gospel Magazine OF October, i775.
and more fully the following year in the
March number OF the same periodical.
DR.. Charles S. Robinson declared that il
was 1.-THE supreme hymn OF thelangusge."
and Colonel Nicholas Smith says that
"No other hymhhas swept the chords OF
the human heart with a more hallowed
touch"
A number OF years before the death OF
the British Premier, Hon. William Z.
Gladstone, one day in the House OF COM
mons, he was being vigorously attacked
by an opponent. During the speech Mr..
Gladstone SAT diligently writing. and his
friends presumed he was preparing notes
for reply. A friend. seated near him,
was curious TO learn how II was that this
leader so successfully preserved his calm
repoSe under such torrent OF invective.
Looking over Mr.. Gladstone's shoulder.
he found him busily engaged In translat-
ing into Latin "Rock OF Ages" his tav-
orite hymn. Gladstone also translated
this hymn into Greek and Italian.
DR.. s. s. Pomeroy states that ia an
Armenian church in Constantinople he
was deeply moved by hearing Turkish
translation OF this hymn sung. and by
seeing many OF the worshipers singing
with eyes filled with tears.
Colonel ]. E. b. Stuart. the famous
Confederate cavalry leader, received
mortal wound al Yellow Tavern, Virginia.
and died in hospital In Richmond, on
the 18th OF May, 1864. When his old
minister, TO whom he was devotedly at
tached, came TO see him. he requested
that "Rock OF Ages" be sung. The Cen
eral joined in the hymn, and before its
conclusion he died with the words Of the
hymn upon his lips.
Mr.. Toplady was born in q rural dis
trict OF Ireland in l740. lie became a
student at Trinity College. Dublin, from
which institution he was graduated, and
at the age Of twenty-five was ordained
a priest. and became curaie oil FafleRh.
His health failed few years later and he
went to London, where he died on August
II, l77S, at the age OF thirty-eighi. lie
had lived long enough 10 give 10 The
world one OF the most highly treasured
heansongs.

return trip OF the red tongue. even though
it came back empty We have seen
Mllady reach for bug, miss il, and yet
swallow and close her eyes as the tongue
tip flapped back into her throat open
her eyes, flash her tongue, miss the bug,
gulp and blink again and do it all over
even third time perhaps. There was
another strange trick OF Milady's that
amused us greatly. You have seen cat
watching a mouse hole, with her tail
pulsing under the strain OF concentrations
Having no tail to wag, Milady relieved
The tension of waiting by working the
middle toe OF her hind foot whenever her
beautifully brilliant eyes were fixed on a
coveted insect.
All summer long MiIady stayed in the
yard, but when in the fall brother went
back to college and none Of us assumed
the duty Of scratching her back every
night while whiStllng a tune for her,
Milady was seen less frequently-partly,
no doubt, because game became scarcer
with cold weather. But she must have
hibernated somewhere under the walks
or porches, for this spring, when the
earthworms and insects began 10 appear,
she was at work about the shrubbery
once more. And TO our surprise, her
brain had retained some impression of
her last summers friendship with brother,
for he had been home from college only
few days when he came whistling up
the steps one evening and found Milady
waiting at the top for him
