In sprains and dislocations keep the
cloths dipped in cold water. Keep the
raj position. Be patient and time will
effect cure. If joint is dislocated
procure surgeon as speedily as possible.


In burns or scalds apply wet cloths
until the pain abates, and then apply a
wet cloth covered with dry one; or if
the surface is destroyed, apply linen
covered with any bland oil or cereate,
as lard, sweet oil, &c. If blisters come
let them alone if not very tense, but in
this case puncture them with needle.
Apply oiled linen or silk till the surface
heals. Sometimes bread and water
poultice had better be put on at first If
a PERSONS clothes take fire remove them
as quickly as possible, or wrap them
with blanket or rug to smother the
flames. If burns are severe and the pa
tient shows signs of sleepiness, there is
reason for alarm, and surgeon should
at once be called. If shock occurs,
which may be known by the face and
lips turning pale and low pulse, apply
warmth to all parts of the body and en-
ploy gentle friction on the surface. The
best care and attention will alone save
the patient.


If strong chemicals, as sulphuric acid,
nitric acid, &C., get tupon the flesh, cover
with oiled linen or bread and water
poultice. An immediate application of
almost any kind of grease will stop the
action of chemicals.


For chill blains and frost bitez, en-
ploy friction, and rub with cold water
or snow. By all means avoid sudden
application of heat to the affected part.
Battle in cold water till circulation re-
turns.


Sore and mattery eyes should be care
fully and gently washed with tepid wa
ter several times a day. Do not neglect
it too long. as great injury to the sight
may result if the inflammation is not
speedily removed.

Little John Green. of Louisville, KY,
having heard how once upon time Bcnia-
solved to do something III tnI tIht,e kitfs 81:
His idea was to test the relative strength of
his kite and his pet pigeon with the design
the result. 80 he took kite and
pigeon and wcnded his way to tho nearest
common several days ago. He ran tho kite
up to the limit of 200 yards Of cord, the
wind blowing stiff breeze from the north
west the while. Then taking tho pigeon
from his basket he tied the bird by tho leg
to the end of the kite string which he had
held in his hand. The pigeon, feeling half
free, flew toward home, which was directly
against the wind. The resistance of the
kite caused his flight to tend upward, and,
in turn, the efforts of his wings caused the
kite to sail higher in the air. For while
the bird seemed to have the best Of the
struggle, making slow progress for at least
"a square, but i'll spite of all efforts to take
a direct course, flying higher and higher.
After the bird had reached an altitude of
perhaps four hundred feet, the kite be-
ing about one hundred feet higher still, it
was plain that the latter had greatly the adj
vantage. 1t was flesh, blood and feathers
against the untiring Winds Unable to con-
tinuc the strain the pigeon changed his
course to one side, thus slackening the string
and causing the kite to fall, slanting from
side to side In a helpless sort of way. But
feeling free again the pigeon once more
made break for home, when, the string
being pulled taut, tho kite, with spring,
glancing in the sun thing of life, rose
rapidly and gracefully from its former level.
Soon both bird andk became mere spccks
and at last vanishing in the southwestern
sky left Johnny to weep over his uncxpcct-
ed loss. Next morning, when the little
fellow went to look in his empty cote, there
stood the pigeon nodding It's head IN pride.
1t had broken from the kite, piece of the
string still hanging to its leg.

In everything save the bearing upon it Of
the fact already stated. Everybody was
sorry. Nobody believed that William
Claypolc ever nourishcd murder in his
heart. 1t had been but the creature OF
dreadful impulse.


Yet the evidence was all against him
oil, all-and not point whereon to hang q
doubt, and he was found guilty OF murder.
One bright, pleasant day, while William,
Claypole lay crushed and broken in his
dark cell, and while the people shook their
heads III sorrow that one so young md pro-
missing should meet so terrible fateLon
such day Mary Adams appeared before
the jailor and demanded to see the prisoner
who had been accused of her murder.


The jailor came nigh to fafnting with
supcrstitious terror; but by and by the ap-
plicant succeeded in convincing him that
she was thing of flesh and blood, like
other women, and he admitted her to the
prison. We need not describe the scene
that followed the meeting of the lovers. In
some respects it was secrcd In due time
the custodans of judicial power and autho-
rity came to the prison, where they listened
to new revelation.


Mary Adams was not dead at all The
story which her lover had told was true,
On the night of the quarrel, fearing that he
might do some rash thing, and really dcsi-
rous, Tor the time, of getting out of his way,
and beyond his knowledge, she returned
secretly to her home, where she made up u
small bundle of necessary clothing, and
then, unknown to any one, she crcpt away,
and before morning was beyond the possi-
billty OF reach or recognition. gil '...


Having found new home in far-away,
mountainous region. she mad not seen any
newspaper until she had been several weeks
In her new home. She read the account
OF her own death, and the arrest of her old
lover for her murder with astonishmcnt.
ana now She had come to sct matters right.


AS fortune would have IT,, on the very
day OF Miss Adams return an officer from
an insane asylum appeared in search of an
escaped patient, whom, after weeks of la-
Dor, ho had succeeded in tracing in that d.
rection he saw the garments which had
been taken from the body of the dead wo.
man, and recognized them at once as hay
ing belonged to his patient. 1ls


The initials, IN. A." which had been
supposed to stand for Mary Adams, were
really meant to represent ''Mortonborough
Asylum" The officer saw Miss Adams.
and declared that If he had mot her on the
highway or i'll crowded public conveyance
he should certainly have arrested her.
Her resemblance TO the patient he had
sought was wonderful. -.tl..


And 80 the truth was known at last. By
a fortunate revolution of the wheel light
came to Mary Adams, aud her reappear-
ance upon the scene came with saving
power to William Claypolc. -


The lovers went away from the prison
together, and certainly VIC have just ground
for the belief that the ordeal through which
they had passed had been sufficient in it's

An account of remarkable incident
comes from Aurora, Ind A few days ago,
as a trio of young men, one son Of q
prominent citizen of this city, were fishing
for bass in Hogan Creek, near Aurora, they
were disturbed by a splash In the water, as
of some animal jumping into the stream.
Looking In tho direction, they saw largo
black hog, which had evidently come down
from among the roaming lot of porkers
which make life a burden In and around the
town, swimming rapidly toward the center
of the pool, which was about 100 feet wide
and eight feet deep. At about the center
the animal disappeared, remaining under
the water for a cOnside able time, and on
reappcaring was seen to have in his mouth
alive bass about eight inches long, with
which he swan ashore, and proceeded to
cat with the avidty and relish peculiar to
his species. After having swallowed the
last vestige, with grunt the animal again
bet0ok himself TO tile water, and again
dived to the bottoms. Coming up with a
snort, he made again for tho shore with an
other fish, which he dispatched as quickly
as before. This was repeated q third time


and on the fourth trip the animal secured a
small turtle, Which 1t also carried ashore,
and after some difficulty managed to dis.
patch, breaking the shell, with Its strong
teeth, after which 1t amblcd of, satisfied
with its fishing experiences Of the days.

against the sentence, and the commune
can still sentence Il man to Punishment

been passed for such petty offenses us
stealing handkerchief or little honey,
or opening brandy shop without the
permission of the commune. In the

fenced to he banished, together with his
family. Shortly after, however, the
Senate, to whom the case was referred,
decided that the man should he per-
mittcd to remain in his village, on the
ground that his health would not permit
of his going to Siberia. The case of the

so far rs she was concerned, though she
was innocent of any crime, and had been

A WARNING TO GIRLS VINO CHEW
GuM.-Iast Sunday evening an iacident
occurred on Portland avenue that may
serve as Il warning to hundreds of young
persons who have entered upon career
Of wax-chewing. A girl named Ida
Smith had been chewer for nearly
year. She is about eleven years old
rather bright and intelligent, and chowed
about tho same quantity OF tho material
that was used by neiShboring girls along
tho avenue. On Saturday evening sho
took her wax from her modth, stuck it
under tho edge of tho mantle until she
could go to the kitchen to get swallow
of water, and on her return her parents
were Mortified to see her jaws moving
rapidly. She was told to throw tho
wax from hor mouth and on investiga-
ton it was found that she was not chew
ing anything; still her jaws kept moving


at rapid rate. The parents sent for
physician, who came and attempted to
hold the jaw in proper position, believ-
ing it to be only temporary but he could
not stop tho regular movement. The
child grew nervous, and the excitement
only increased the action of her laws.
The physician put tight sandage over
her face, and this partially relieved this
movement, but then the twitchings Of
the muscles extended all over the face.
As last resort moderate dose of NOR
phine wa, admin istered, and the little
girl kept up lncoherent mutterings. nc
componed bya general disturbance OF
the muscles of the upper portion of tho
body, during the early portion Of the
night, and toward morning the little suf-
ieror was restored to he" normal condi-
ton. The physician says he never
heard OF such a case before, and thinks
1t was brought about by spa m die
action Of the muscles of the face, caused
by overaction. Tho little girl, Ofer en-
during night of suffering is now restor-
ell. but nothing in the world could induce
her to again chew wax. SO. Louis Meas.

Mississippi to participate in the can

been made for them. We hope that
these gentlemen, who have taken upon

people of this State how they should
vote, will first tell us how they stood
when the iron heel of military despot-

heard no word of kindness from them
during the dark years in which we
were groaning under the oppression of
the carpet baggers and their allies
how it happens that at this late day,
when Mississippi is in the hands of her

interest in her affairs, and have made
the discovery that we do not know how
to take care of ourselves. When they

Now that the old issues which aroused
