Aa Kemper, 15oss county, Ohio, says
that hlt t'diug from a wound on man or
beast may bo stopped by a mixture of
wheat flour and common salt, iu equal
parts, bound on with white cloth. If
the bleeding be profuse, use a large
quantity, say from one to three pints.
It may be left for hours, or even days, if
necessary. Iu this nianucr ho saved the
life of a horse which was bleeding from
a wounded artery; the bleeding ceased
in five minutes after tho application. It
was left on three tlajs, when it worked
loose, and was easily removed from the
wound, which very soon healed,

they should be in every past n re and by

wherever horses, cattle or ebeep are to

A Needed Improwinciit.
Some of the Western cities, mtably
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Chicago,
which havo been for years hopelessly
begrimed by the burniug of soft coal,
are delighted with the proposed plan of
washing the smoke, so that when passing
fiom the chimney it will not, it is said,
soil a white handkerchief. They fear
that this is almost too good to be true,
but they are encouraged to believe that
the present nuisance of thick, black,
perpetual smoke can at least be greatly
abated. Cincinnati has long been nearly
as bad as 1'ittsburg, and Chicago has
been steadily growing from bad to
worse. St. Liuis, L utsville and other
cities where manufactures are increas
ing are suffering from continually fall
ing soot, ami vhe method of getting ril
of it will, if successfully adopted, be a
material blessing. No one who has not
lived in Pittsburg or Cincinnati can have
any idea of tbe dotestableuess of the
smoke, which shuts out the sky, de
stroys the purify of the air, soils build
ings, clothes, people, and renders life
burdensome. When those towns are
purified their best friends will hardly
know them. Tbe advantage will be in
calculable. 'Ueorge has had a great many pull
backs in life,' said the young wife to her
lady frieud. And when tbe friend said
'Yes, I saw him with one yesterday,'
tbe young wife didn't know what she
meant by it.
Fashions from Harper's
Embroidery is more fashionable than
lace for trimming liucu drosses, though
lace is nseil for liucn lawns.
The blue belt is satin ribbon folded
four inches wide, and falling in front in
long sash ends almost to the foot of the
dress.
The morning cap is of Iudia tnusliu
very softly folded in many short puffs,
and finished with 8 plaiting of wide J'.ro
ton lace.
One of the prettiest suits is of brown
plaid gingham, with trimmings of pink
batiste knifc-pluitiugs edged wit'a nar
row Hretou edging.
When shirred fronts aro made ct r
waist linings, the liuing is fitted to tho
figure by darts, aud the outside is flu -ished
separately iu clu-ters of shirring.
For afternoon and evening white dot
ted Swiss minliu dresses are elaborately
mado over slips of colored silk, and
trimmed with milled of the pretty mate
rial. Among tho perciles, thosewith cream
colored ground are most used; these are
strewn with gay chintz figures, or else
dotte I and bordered with red, white, or
blue, in handkerchief patterns.
A bride may use either white or ligM
gray glovos with her gray wedding hnit,
The groom's gloves should match those
of the bride. A white necktie is prefer
able for bolh bride aud groom.
The white nansook or India muslin
polonaises aro made iu what was former
ly kuowu as tho Dolly Vardeu shape,
which has but one short dart iu front;
another longer dart is qnito far back,
and the froLt is broadened to meet tho
French back, thus doing away with side
bodies.
Next after white dresses ginirham suits
arc tho popular attire at tho summer
resorts. These of gmy-blne, iu strifes,
bars, or plaids, are most seen, mid are
usualiy irimmed with many ri-ill - s of
the gingham, aud with the c arse-figured
effective wash laces known as lUzautiue,
llussiau, etc.
Fi.r petticoats white foulard is used.
These skirts ore to be worn under very
daiuty short walkiug costumes, or else
with trained eveniug dresses. Thoy aro
gored closely in front aud back, aud aro
trimmed wilh two deep knifo pla'tiugs
edged with lr.es.
Embroidered flounces are tbe favorite
trimmiuR. Iu some instances two scant
ily gathered iluii.ces of ueedle-wcrk
wid be wide enough to reach abova the
knees aud moot the short polonaise; this
trimming is especially liked for pique
dresses. Tho embroidery on thin
fl mncos is lii-bter, and the flouncoa aro
unrrower, varying from three to seven
in number.
White dris-ses are the favorite toilettes
this re.isou rd the wateriug-phces. For
the moruing and afternoon aie short
costumes of the shei rest French uansook
or ilse Iudia rju-lii'., aud flu-re are aho
many pique dres- c.s with the skirt nearly
covered with embroidered iiitllos. The
mu--liu tire-ses arc ac'ou.puuieil by
large fichu mantles of tlie material,
trimmed with phiitiups of 15n ton lace,
aud iv'ueu the picturesque Devonshire
h it is added, the effect is very charming.
Horrible Heath.
A terrible accident occurred at the rod
mill iu J 'hustowi, Pa. Richard O.
Jones, a young man, was employed as
sticker iu' at the finishing rolls, his
work being to catch tho end of tho wire
rods as tLcy came thri ugh the rolls aud
guide tLi in through the last pass before
they are wound upon the spindles at the
u Tth end of tho building. a.jiiirtir
after five o'clock iu the luoiniug, only
fifteen minutes before the usual quittiug
time, one of the long, red hot rods,
whose cud ho Pa l j-ist i'lserted in Lis
part of the roils, became twisted as it
was gm led aloi.:g the iron floor behind
him byaboynamid John Hingbnm.
Tho rolls were ru'iiiiug at the r ite of
four hundred and fiuy revolutions per
minute, nud the twiat rinsed the wire to
curve through the air, one of the loops
f iKiug over young Jones' body, just be
low the ribs, and drawing him down ou
bis knees with bis back against the
rolls, through which th wire sped with
lightniug-liko rapidity. John lliwley
seized an axe, and with one blow sev
ered the wire, but not before it had cut
and burned its way through tho body of
the victim. The left arm wns severed
between the elbow aud shoulder, the
right between tho elbow and wrist, and
a portion of tho bivkboiic was all that
held tbe mutilated body b'ge'bcr. nis
bowels were cut into small pieces and
fed cut in a mass ou the flo-.ir. Death
is supposed to Lave resulted almoBt iu
htautancously. There was a slight quiv
ering of tbe muscles half a minute af
terward, but that was nil.
Strange Mexican Animal.
A magazine writor jourueyiug through
Mexico gives a description of a remark
able unimi'l fouu l iu that region. The
banks of the llio Fuerte are lined with
stately bignonia trees; aud here 1 saw
for the first time the singular reptile
which the Spaniards call hunna and
tbe Portuguese ray man do tnul'o i r.
'tree alligator.' Tbe latter name may
have bei n suggested by the formidable
appearancs of an animal which attains a
length of seven feet and a weight of sixty-five
pounds, and jnmpa from tree to
tree with the impetus of a tiger eat; but
there is no donbt that the iguana is tbe
most harmless crca'ure of that siee
which ever jumped or flew or swam on
this planet of ours the most harmless
creature of any size, we might say, for
the little goldfish aud the robin red
breast are beasts of prey cimparel with
tbe tree-alligator: they will hurt a fly,
but tbe iguaua is a strict vegetarian,
and like an orthodox Hindoo endeavors
to prolong his life without shortening
that of a fellow-creature. Still, with its
saurian beak, its preposterous claws and
tbe row of bristles along its backbone,
this giant lizard is a scandalous phenom-

low convicts were removing tho bars

A quaint writer says: 'I have seen wo
men so delicate thai tl.ey were afraid to
rido a horse for fear of the horse run
ningaway; afraid to sail, for fear the
boat might upset; afraid to walk, for
fear they might full; lut I havo never
seen one afraid to bo married, which is
far more riskful thau all the others put
together.'
Au old farmer, iutout ou making bis
will, was asked by tho lawyer tbs name
of bis wife, when be gravely replied:
Well, indeod, I really dou't recollect
what it is; we've been married for up
ward of forty years, and I've always
called her my old woman.' Tho lawyer
left a blank, to be filled up when bis old
womau's name was ascertained.
An eccentric brother at an evangelical
camp meeting near Buoyrus, Ohio, tho
other day, prayed that there might bo n
death in each family in tbe towu that
did not belong to his own sanctified
sect. Thereupon sorao .of the yonug
men tore down the tent and treated the
eccentric individual very roughly. The
local paper mildly insinuates that such
proceedings aro not of great service to
tbe cause of religion.
A good colored man oncn said, in a
class-meet ing: 'Brethren, when I was a
boy, I took a hatchet and went iuto de
woods. When I found a tree dat was
straight, big and solid, I didn't touch
dat tree; but when I found one leaning
a little and hollow inside, I soon bail
him down. So when tho debbil goes
after Christians, he don't touch dem dat
stand straight and true; but dem dat
lean a little and aro hollow inside,'
