Most Fragrant Wild Flower.

Readers of the American bOtanist have been trying to decide which Is the most fragrant American wild flower. and their opinions on the subject ex- hibit remarkable diversity. In New England the majority give first choice to the pink aZalea, with the white Wa ter lily second. There are many votes for the trailing arbutus, but. as the editor suggests, its fragrance Is doubt less Overestimated, owing to the fact that it is the earliest fragrant wild flower of spring Other candidates for first place are the partridge berry. the common locust. horned bladderwort (of which John Burroughs says: 'In a warm, moist atmosphere the odor Is almost too strOng"), yellow jessamine. spotted wintergreen, and some of the magnolias. The same journal Is col lecting opinions as to which wild flow CT is the most beautiful.-Scienflii. American.

JUST QUESTION OF SPELLING
Mir. Wrinkle Cravat Has One Brilliant Idea and It Gets Him in Right
 With Fair One.

She was a cOnceited young thing. as so many young things are, have always been and will continue to be, and, al- though she had allowed Wrinkle Cravat to call that afternoon, she was treat ing him quite distantly, for she had an idea that young men receding chins and cigarettes were not good enough for her.
 Just as the only thing Wrinkle Cravat could think of to say seemed to be something about going, he had q bril- liant idea.
 Do you know, Miss Stimkins-haU do you know, I think the English way of spelling barbour. our, you know, is so much superior ito the American manner. Haw."
 "Why, MT. Cravat?" yawned the fair Eulalia Stimkins.
 Because -haw-having 'u' in it makes all the-haw-d difference"
 Miss Stimkins' entire seven dimples showed at once.
 "Oh, Mr. Cravat, hoy- perfectly de- lightfull I had no idea you were so witty. Really I insist that you stay for dinner. I don't take no for a refusal. And have no doubt" added the con ceited young thing, that our dining room will appeal to you even more than our parlOr."
 "Just-haw-why, Miss Stimkins, if I may-haw-awsk?"
 ''Because-if you will pardon my ap- parently faulty grammar is in it twice."
 And after that young Cravat had things all his own way.-Detroit Free Press.

HE FORGOT ETHICS
But the Doctor Understood Boys,
 Which Was More Important.
His Talk of the old Fishing Hole and the Summer Camping Trip Sue ceeded Where Medicine
 Failed.

The doctor walked slowly upstairs. The little boys illness was not yield ing to treatment as he would have wished. He had been doing all that medicine would do for the boy, but the delay in calling him had given the sickness such start that he had made little progress in checking it. So he went upstairs with a heavy heart. Jimmie smiled as the young doctor came into his room. Jimmie was the smiling kind, though he had found it hard to be cheerful.
 The doctor had many other calls to make, and he left soon with the prom ise to call again that night. When he came again the little patient was worse, though he probably did not realize it. The doctor took his pulse and his temperature and asked the usual questions of his mother. Then he did a highly unethical thing. But he understood boys and especially the one before him.
 Jimmie" he said, "yOu and I are going to fight hard to get you we'll but we are going to get you we'll" The boy smiled; the doctor had touched the right chord. Nobody but you and I can do it. Mother can't help you; neither can sister or brother or father l am going to come to see you twice a day. We have got to get you In good shape so that you will be all ready to go camping this summer with the rest of the boys.
 ''YOu remember that little redeye hole down by those willows where I stopped to watch you fish when came by in the automobile? We'll, drove past there last week and it looks to me like it is going to be better than ever. A big log has floated down there and you can sit on it in the shade of the willows and never get a bit hot, even in July. But before you go fish ing you will have to get well. I think we can have you out of bed in two weeks"
 The little chap ina the bed looked hard at the doctor. He was only ten years old, and it is hard for ten-year- old boys to lie in bed. He had seen the doctor swim across a wide, swift river, he knew the doctor could lift him with two fingers; he knew the doctor liked little boys and liked to help them all he could. In his boy mind the doctor was a hero. ''Yes, sir (the- boy was speal1ing), if you say we have to fight, I'll do just what you say. It is hard not to get to play af- ter school Ca tear rolled down and lost itself in the sheet near the boys ear1, but I can put my clothes on, can't IT The doctor nodded, and, for getting about medicine, plunged into another story of next summer. He talked for almost an hour to the boy. Which was also not exactly ethical. | But when he rose to go he noticed a new light in the young eyes.
 'I think we will have Jimmie out playing in about two weeks" he said | to the anxious mother. And as he threw his car into ''high,' a listener might have heard him humming softly as was his habit when his heart was not heavy.-Indianapolis News.

Use of the Tourniquet.

A tourniquet is used to stop pro- fuse bleeding from arteries. It con sists of a strap to go around the limb, a pad to place on the artery and some means by which the pad may be made to press on the artery and stop the flow of blood. Many first-aid cabinets contain the United States army tOurni- quet. It consists of a strap made of webbing with a buckle and catch on one end. It can be used around q limb by passing the end through the buckle and tightening up. making pressure on the whole circumference until the bleeding stops.
