WASHING OUT A WOUND.
Tlnetur* of lodlno la About tho Safaat
Antiieptio to Usa.
Carbolic acid, one of the most’ valu-
ablo antiseptics known to surgeons, Is
at tho same time one of the most dan
gerous. It la used dally, almost hour
ly. by operators In the hospitals. The
layman who understands' Its perils
may wash wounds out with It Bafely.
but the best surgeons say that Inex
perienced persons had better let It
alone.
No wound- should ever be bound tip
with bandages sonked In even tbe
mildest solution of carbolic acid, for
the skin absorbs It readily, and poison
ing is apt to follow prolonged use. An
eminent New York surgeon had a case
a few weeks ago Qf u child whose fin
ger had turned black after. being
dressed too long with a-2 per cent so
lutfon of carbolic add. nnd when he
called this paper’s attention to the
case he was expecting to be obliged
to cut off tj}e finger.
The most commonly used antiseptic
Is bichloride of mercury (corrosive
sublimate), but tbls Is one of the dead
liest poisons known and as it has no
color or odor Is easily mistaken for
wnter. To avoid this It Is customary
to color solutions of It Colored tab
lets are made especially for making
solutions of any given strength. Dr.
Albert S. Morrow In "The Immediate
Care of the Injured" says It should be
used as a wet dressing on wounds In
u solution of 1.2000 of 1.5000, the lat
ter made by dissolving oue 7% grain
tablet In 2 1 ,4 quarts of water. As a
wash for a wound It may be used In a
1,1000 solution (one 7% grain tablet to
a pint of wnter).
Iodine Is nnother antiseptic that Is
highly recommended. It Is used com
monly on dirty wounds, where there
Is danger of Infection nnd a doctor’s
services are not lramndlntely avail
able. In such cases the tincture of
Iodine Is used pure and Is applied by
dipping a wad of cotton or antiseptic
gauze In It nnd swabbing out tbe
wound, being careful to penetrate this
thoroughly.—New York World.
THE BLACK BALL
A Cunning Soheme That Was Spoiled
by Quick Thinking,
Two young men In a French village
were called on to draw for conscrip
tion. One only was wanted to complete
tbe number, end of the two who were
to draw one was tho son of u rich
farmer and tho other the child of a
poor widow.
The farmer Ingratiated himself with
the superintendent of the ballot and
promised him a present If he could
find means to prevent his soil from
going in tbe army. In order to ac
complish this the official put Into thi
am two black balls instead of one
white and one/ black ball. When. tbs.
young men came, he said:
"There: are two balls, one black and
one white, inithe urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
Is first," pointing to the widow'* son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, approached the urn and drew
one of the balls, which he Immediately
swallowed without looking at It.
"Why,” said the superintendent,
"have yo.u done that? How are . we
to know whether you have drawn n
black or a white bajl?"
“Oh. that’s very easy to discover,”
was the reply. “Let the other now
draw. If I have the black, he must
necessarily draw the white one.”
There was no • help for It, nnd the
farmer's ,son, putting, his band into
the urn, drew the remaining ball,
which, to the satisfaction of the spec
tators, was a black one.
Power of tho 8poetro»oopo.
Tbe almost uncunny power of the
spectroscope, which has made it such
a powerful Instrument of research, is
the following: If uny element such us
Iron, copper, sodium and tjie like Is heat
ed sufficiently to be vaporized and the
light of this heated vapor Is nnnlyzed
by tho spectroscope, it does not give a
continuous spectrum, but only very
narrow portions of the colors., so that
in reality the view presented is that of
n series of bright lines of ’the various
colors. Each chemical element has Its
own characteristic set of lines.—Cen

Well Disposed Little Cousin.
A little girl who lives In a smalt
town in Missouri wrote the following
letter to her cousin: “We-is all well,
and mother’s got the his Terrlcks,
brother Tom Is got the Hupin ICnugb.
nnd sister Ann is got a babee. und i
hope these few lines will find you the
same. Your affeeshunute kuzen."—Kan

Anelent and Modern Bathing.
Soap is really quite a new factor In
the world’s life. Most of our ancestors
were filthy and dissembled the fact by
the use of stifling perfumes. Washing
one’s hands, which was only done by
the very best 'people,- meant dipping
the Angers in rosewater and drying
them on a napkin. ISren tbe Romans
of the decadence, who were probably
cleaner as a community than any be-
fobs or since, bathed tn -whteir and rub;
bed themselves with oil. It sounds
nasty to us, but then so does, for ex
ample.: Chinese music, which millions
of human beings think delightful.
Homes Under the Ground.
In the sq.lt district In Cheshire, Eng
land, the brine has. been pumped so
continuously out of the earth that the
land has settled very considerably.
The houses naturally sink with the
earth, and In some of the "streets In
Norfhwlch only the roofs are visible.
The houses are Inhabited, although the
rooms are underground. In a groat
many cases additional stories hnve
beeu added, so that by living in the
upper rooms the residents may have
some light and air. The roadways sink,
too, but are kept up to the proper level
by the government \
