level of 927,6$3,855, which is equival-
ent to suck an ample percentage as
17.93% of lialtilities to the public.
This account Compares with 921,460;

13.88%, or an increase of over 96,000,-

Immense public interest is always
aroused when the, (names of British

While be was governor of Gibral-

offering 21,000 in retutrri for "a
slight service," -which the letter did
not deseribe.
Sir Henry took no notice of the
communieation. But in a few clays
(tame another letter increasing the
offer to 22,000, and covertly sug-

turn a blind eye on the landing of

'Afteewards'he was visited by a

• Rospital Gangrene.
In the present conflict nothing is
heard of "hospital gangrene."
Happily. this worst horror of war
has now been done' sewa,y with. A
few years ago hospital ,gangrene
was a mystery ; no one knew
whence it came or how it was *cm-
municated. To -day We -know that
the malady is etteisbatableoto a spe-
cific germ, and that in foemer times
when ignorance regarding it pre-
vailed, it was -spread chiefly the
doctors and nerses in the military
hosititalet,as they went from pa.
tient to patient dresaing the wounds
with bare, germ -carrying hands,
Everything possible is clone with
instruments. If the wound is a out,
forceps with serrated edges for
grasping is employed, after the
wound has /been cleaned, to draw
the lips together. Then the lips
are sewn tagether with •a needle
that has :been sterilized in boiling
water,
,Siippose that the leg bone has
been broken by a fragment of a
shell. When eueb, a thing heppen-
ed in the 'Spanish war, the surgeon,
after carefully shatving the leg,
washed it with soap. and water.
Now the military suegeon merely
disinfects the wound with an iodine
thixture in the manner already de-
scribed. He removes any frag-
ments .of hone or foreign matter,
sets the leg, in order that thetbrok.
en ;parts iney unite, applies a ster•
Mead dressing and leaves the rest
to nature, The operation is mach
quicker and the results incompar-
ably quicker. '
The military surgeon tp-daris ex-
tremely reluctant to amputate.
The surgeon Aloes not amputate un-
less he is absolutely -compelled to
de so, and even then he tents off as
little as he can. If a maten hand
is crushed and even the little fin-
ger ean be. saved, it is well worth
eaving, inasmuth se it can hold
something. The ,soldier's leg may
be ,frightfully injured, yet the sur-
geon will nob cut it off except as
A Last Resort.
Rather (than do so, he will leave
it alone Inc a while to take ooze of
itself, after applying, of course,
the neeeSeary treatment twith anti-
septie cleansing and suitable dress-
ing. His Object is to give nature a
'chance to aocornplish all that she
can do. When amputation has to
he -performed, the patient's ,chance
ef reeovery .undm
er odern eoneli-
tions, with the -help of the ecien-
tifie methods of treatment now un-
de,rstopd, 6s certainly more than
twice as good as it aped to be.
, .The number of ,men wounded :n
the ba,ttles on the present war is
enormous, but the percentage of
deaths' ie'aid to lie rernarkabdy
small. That, of Coulee, is largely
owing to ,the /znproved metheds of
surgical treatment and also bo the
fact that trioderu rifle bullets inflicts
much emaller and cleaner wounds
bu
than the llets of foamier day*.
Thebullet in use to -lay, although

The Germans had a high opinion
. of the fighting qualities of the French
• soldier before this war began, The
fighting which occured on the march
from the Belgian frontier to the
, Marne and "'aria, tended to lesson
their respect 'for toughness ef French
moral gbre, but the last two znonths
have changed that again, and sol-
diers' letters reflect increased respect
for them. The recent fighting of the
remnaet of the Beleian army in Flan -
dies also has greatly raised the Ger-
Man eStimationi of the Belgian soldier,
wile, in the general army opinion, had
not greatly distinguished himaelf at
Liege, Namur and Antwerp, and the
Intervening field cmgagemeets.
As to the British, field post letters
continue to bear out the statement
from a German eepert as to their ro-
nuit fighting qualities. One of 11latest of these letters printed in 111Cologne Gazette, contain the 'follow-
ing striking passage;
"People at home appear tb have

The mannfacture of shay describ-
ed by Mr. 0, O. Horn, in Forest
and Stream, necoiresea, high tower,
it perfarated pen, a tank of water,
and "tempered" lead.
Shot is made by dropping molten
lead from a high point to •the math..
The lead forms into globules just as
the rainetreps do when they fall

not realize Opt raindrops are - little
anheres, but ander the proper cen-
clitions (they freeze, end we have
hailstones, which may be called ehot
made of ice.
In film making,of shot, Inge lead
is melted mad mixed with & "tem-
per" that oonsiets mainly of tin,
and them poured into a, perforated
pam erste*. The perforations vary
occoeding to the aize ef shot to be
made.
A temper is mixed with the lead
in order to ma,ke the globules form
when the lead faLle, If intro lead
were mead, it would fall in the form
of little hers, instead of ;routed Mint.
In order that the globules may
have plenty of time to form, the
lend must fall a long distance, and

used to be made as thigh as two hun-
dred feat and even more, but mod-
ern towers ctre rarely over ono hun-
dred end fifty feet
The perlocatecl pan into whieb the
molten lead is pooled is at the top
of the tower, and the globuletsaf

Erman the water the Shot go to
Meath dryers, After drying the per-
fect shot ere teeparated from the ern -

clined enough eze that the shot;
when palmed on ett, one ead of the

the fzurther end of the table are -two
gutters, side by tsicie, The imperfect
shot slowly sled with eclitfloulty,
so that they have net enough mto-
ntentam to carry theft beyond the

when they teeth the foot of late ta-
ble, they jump niriably seross the,

•
Speedleat Cure is Nervitine.
Ouch, that stab -hike pain le the side'
Is like it hot knife blade in de ribs!
Probably got over-heated—cooled
too fast—now there is congestion,
tightness, such soreness you can't
draw a long breath,
Thie is the beginning of PleurisY.
Pleurisy is far too serious to neglect
a single instant.
Quickest relief will come from a
vigorous rubbing with Nerviline, This
trusty old pain-roliover wilifix you up
In no time—Wiii take away the con-
gestion-- make you well linen it did
Mr. Samuel St. Johns, of Stamford,
who says:—"In 'running to catch a
train last week 1 became much over-
heated, 0 put up the train window
and rode that way in order to get
cooled off. In au -hour my gide was so
full of pain and my breathing hurt so
much that 1 thought I had pneumonia,
always carry Noryinue in my grip
and at destination I rubbed my side
thoroughly three times. The avarm
penetrating effect was soon ponce
-
able and I quickly got relief. Nervi -
line I consider savedene from a seri-
ous illness." .
Any sort of a eold can be quickly
broken .up with Nervitine which in a
marvel for reducing inflammation, for
relieving congestion in the throat and
chest, for curing stitch in the side,
lumbago, neuralgia, sciatica or rheum-
atism. Nothiug more soothing or
powerful. The 60c. large family size
is the meet economical. Small trial
