horses or cattle is heard long time

many cattle or horses there are in the
herd. or if 1t is party of mounted
men, how many are mounted and
whether they are driving horses or
cattle before them. The Guachos can
also tell by the thunder of hoofs

When Surgeon Washes His Hands.

DR.. r. II. Won Baracz, the eminent
Austrian surgeon, recommends in the
Wiener MetiiZinische Wochenschrift
the following method of washing the
hands for surgeons before performing
operations or handling wounds. He
says he learned it from Doctor Weir
OF New York:
4 handful of chloride OF lime is
placed on one plate and some crystals
OF ordinary soda on another. After
carefully cleaning the hands with soap
and brush. a soupspconful of chloride
of lime and crystal of soda are taken
in the hands and crushed together with
a little water. This forms paste on
the hands and requires three or four
minutes. The hands are then rinsed
in sterile water. The odor of the chlor'
inc that is released can be removed
by ammonia water, L to 5 per cent.

TIGER CAT.

tfNow you would imagine" COM
mcnccd Daddy, "that with such name
rs Tiger Cat creature would natu-
rally live in the wild forest and spend
all the time a-hunting."
81 suppose" said Nancy, "you are 60
ing to tell US a story about a very wild
cat-not exactly q tiger, but as nearly
ike one as possible"
"Some cats are very much like IT,
gers. I think" said Nick. "And often
they look more wild, though, of course,
sometimes they look so sleepy and
comfortable and as if nothing in the
world would make them move.'
This cat wasn't wild, though" said
Daddy. 'In fact he was a very sleepy,
lazy sort of d cat, fond of eating and
sleeping. of being petted and smoothed
and stroked."
"And why was he called Tiger"
asked the children.
'Becau.a his markings were so like
tiger. He was far more lie tiger
,, in looks than he was like a cat, but
in his ways he was certainly ike
what is known as q very domestic cat,
which means q cat who loves his home
and the fireplace, or kitchen stove.
Gle lived in a hospital" Daddy con-
| tinued.
"Was he ill?" asked Nancy.
'sWas that why he was so quiet?'
asked Nick. COR did he keep thinking
all the time that he would disturb the
other patients?"
ST suppose in a hospital a creature
has to keep quiet whether he is Ill
or not, because so many are i'll. But
was the cat i'll, Daddy? You haven't
told u.s." added Nancy.
"No, the cat was very, very well.
In fact, I don't know that have ever
seen a stronger looking cat. His fur
was silky and smooth and he locked
as if always he had the best OF food.
Gle belonged to the matron of the
hospital, and how friendly he was
with all the little patients. For the
hospital was for children. Little sick
boys and girls went there to be made
well and while they were there IL
ger, the cat, or the cat Tiger, helped
to amuse them and to make the hours
and days pass very quickly.
"'Some people, Tiger Cat said to
himself, need all sorts of foolish
time pieces, such as clocks and
watches. I hear the nurses talk about
looking at their watches to see what
time it is, and whether it is time for
the children to have their dinner. To
me that is utterly foolish.
"'Now the children, too, are alb
surd, very often indeed. They will

weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they

GIVES SAFETY FIRST" IDEA
Country's Homes From Pos
sible Accident.

The safety Of the home is the sub
feet of a pamphlet issued by the bu-
reau of standards, Department of Com
merce, entitled Safety for the House
hold, Bureau of Standards, Circular
No. 70" An interesting account of
household hazards is given. The top
les are discussed clearly in a manner
which would afford Il basis for popular
education in safety first" The dam
gers from electricity, gas, fire, light,
ming, household chemicals and the 9TH
er common causes of accident are re-
cited and many actual cases are de-
scribed. The purpose is to aid in re-
moving needless risk and fear, AMI to
develop intelligent caution where the
hazard cannot be entirely avoided.
The hazards of the home have in
creased in modern times. from the serv-
ice of gas and electricity and the use
of such dangerous articles as matches,
volatile oils, pOisonS and the like. The
use of energy in the home necessarily
involves some risk which intelligent
planning and care viii reduce to a min
imum.
Caution alone is not enough, since
many of the dangers are not even sus-
pected. The nature of such unknown
hazards must be made plain. The cir
rular emphasizes the seriousr asS of
some of the risks not generally known,
gives simple cautions and aims to guide
the formation of habits of carefulness.
The circular also suggests effective
home equipment to minimize the risks
involved and aims to encourage pub
lie measures to provide safety for the
household and community.
1t is intended, not to increase fear
of accident, but rather to remove the
causes and the need for alarm. The
sense of safety to be gained by observ-
ing these cautions would alone justify
the careful study of this new circular.
This circular completes the series of
three popular household circulars
which deal with measurements, mate
rails and safety. These form Il valu-
able addition by the bureau of stand
ards to the literature on household
management.
The appalling loss of life from avoid
able causes and injury to person and
property make the pamphlet especially
timely. 1t is believed that thousands
of human lives could be saved and acct
dents reduced to the minimum if the
precautions. suggested are followed.

ed at a nominal cost of Is cents per
