To one who takes the trouble to Investigate, it is an overwhelming aurprlse the loss of lite and limb. The common injuries include lots of sight, loss of an eye, of a leg, an arm, hands and fingers. , Blank cartrldgea are responsible for many a case of lockjaw. The ex plosion of a cartridge frequently causes a wound which results in lockjaw, because powder and other bits'' of for eign matter are thereby embedded In the. burned tissue, creating a condi tion favorable to the development fot the lockjaw germ. It Is wise to pro cure medical advice in. the case of f.such ah injury, and that at onie. play with Art should be prepared for accidents, and ahould have ready simple remedies that there may be no delay in treating the trura or bruise, - , t ' " One pater famlllaa devotes one day in the year exclusively to his children and that is the Fourth of July. - C'From early dawn to dewy eve" he Is stationed, upon the front lawn in the midst of hie four boys and two girls ready to enter into all the fun and, at the same time, to , prevent careless ' handling' of the fireworks; ready to render "first aids" ahould the occasion require it.

Repeat the Same exercise, rising on the heels. ... ..... -. m , Walnut Stain for the Hair WIDOW The walnut stain Is made from unripe walnut shells, gathered at the end of the ummer. when the fruit Is ready for pickling. Take four ounces of walnut skins, beaten to a pulp, to which add sixteen ounces of pure alcohoL Then apply to the hair. The fleshy covering of the ripe nuts, which is thrown away when the fruit is prepared for gating, also furnishes . the dye. . Jaborandi Tonic FRANK M.-The Jaborandi tonic If T 7 3 Children, If not cautioned, are liable to coma into too close proximity with the cracker they are .'.lighting--Just aa the 'little 'boy 'in the picture is doing and an unexpected Explosion of the cracke- is likely as not to result in a serious injury. . The small boy pictured - baa had a narrow escape. . Then. If a child' clothing catches fire, seldom has ' he the presence of mind-to Instantly throw himself upon the grasa and roll over and over to cru,i, out the flames. , ' : If papa is near he may snatch a coat -or whatever woolen garment Is handy and wrap the child In it to smother the flames. i The treatment of a burn consists in first washing the wound with an anti septic, 'then dressing It with "carron oil," coveting It with absorbent cotton, and then wrapping a dry bandags upon the outside.' . Z would advise all parents, upon the night of the third of July, to provide themselves with a bottle of peroxide of hydrogen and one of "carron oil."

Let stand until it gets cold. Strain the liquid. Apply to the hair by the aid of a small sponge. The henna will sometimes stain the acalp. but the stain can easily be removed by aoap and water. Concerning the Teeth MRS. S. Some persons use salt alone to cleanse the teeth and meet with good results; they brush the teeth with , It and afterward rinse with warm water. . Their teeth are very white and the gums hard. How ever, I am afraid this treatment would notsjult every one. and if you do not care to use tooth powders and the salt does not prove agreeable, you may use a good brand of soap without any fear of its Injuring the teeth. Violet Sachet Powder TRIXY Here is a recipe which will make up into a very pleasant powder: Powdered orris, one ounce; powdered bergamot" peel, one-fourth ounce; powdered acacia, one-fourth ounce; musk, twenty grains. Mix thoroughly. Bottle for ten days, when It Is ready for use. . Cure for Bald Spots WORRIED Where the hair falls' out in spots try the following wash: Distilled rosewater, six ounces; aro matic vinegar, five drams; pure glyc erine, two and one-half ounces; tino ture nux vomica, one-half ounce; tincture cantharldes, two and one half ounces. Mix thoroughly. Apply night and morning. Another very efficient remedy for bald spots Is made as follows: Sall cvllc acid, ton gralna: resorcin. eight grains; phenol, Ave drops; lanolin (or vaseline), one ounce. Rub into the Dart night and morning. 7r nentlv aolled. and it any bottle la accl- dentaily broken, the result of the mis hap may be Instantly- cleaned away.; whereas, with a wooden shelf the per haps - unpleasant mixture would " alnk into the wood, rendering the medicine, chest obnoxious. --.

Press the fingers well into the scalp, being sure to massage the front, back and aides of the scalp thoroughly. Then rub the quinine tonlo into the hair. Thla will rot affect tho cofor of your hair; Sul phate ot quinine, one dram; rosewater, eight ounces; diluted sulphurio acid, fifteen minims; rectified spirits, two ounces. ' Mix. then further add: Glycerine, one-quarter ounce; essence royale or essence musk, five or six minims.. Agi tate until solution is complete. Apply to the roots every day. To Prevent Bunions and Corns CLERK Bunions and corns are due to improperly fitting shoes. Have the shoes and stockings a trifle too long for the feet, so aa to relieve the pressure on the toes. Soak the feet night and ir.ornlng; wipe dry and rub with a mix ture of one tablepooiiful spirits of tur pentine and lard (equal parts) or tur pentine and sweet oil (one to three parts) until th eoreneis subsides. Dust between the toes with talcum powder and place a little cotton between the tees, so aa to absorb any moisture. For a shiny hose, the recipe here given is often very successful: Boracio acid, one dram; rosewater, four ounces. Mix. Apply the lotion to your refractory nose aa often aa nceaeary. Lotion for Dry Scalp VILLAGE Apply this lotion to your scalp once a day: Glycerine, one ounce eau de cologne, one-fnurtb. pint; liquid ammonia, one dram, oil of origanum, one-half dram; oil of rosemary, one-half dram; tincture of cantharldes, one ounce. "''..... Briskly agitate for ten minutes, then add camphor Julop, one-half pint, and again mix well and srlr. A few drops of essence of . musk cr other perfume can be added. Ilenne is a vegetable stain, quite harmless and producing, an attractive reddish tint to the hair. For home use It will be found much safer than any thing else. Shampoo the hair and dry and apply the benna stain. Tender Feet AGENT Wash the feet in cold water night and morning, rubbing dry with a rough towel, after which mop on the frofer. Ipecac, eollodlor, talcum powder. . line and tooth powder. Peroxide dtsin- facta and heals, while carbolio acid la good tor household disinfecting. Equipped with, these, there will be mail likelihood ot lacking an instant remedy, for ipecac is the first aid for - croup, . soda ' for indigestion, - aromatio ; spirits of-ammonia tor faintness, while any further medicines may-be given by t dpctor'a orders. Nux vomica, atrychnlne and other pot- 1 medicine, frequently advt tor a tonal effect, and they are now .K 111 J . following solution: Sallcyllo acid, one half ounce; alcohol, four ounces. This Is not only refreshing, but will often prevent disagreeably perspiration. ' Tho condition of your hair la very bad, and you must give most careful attention to restoring Us health. The following recipe la a very, good hair grower: Bay rum. seven ounces; distill ed witch hazel, nine ounces; common, salt, one dram; hydrochloric acid (5 pec cent), on drop; magnesia, sufficient. Peroxide of Hydrogen DISTRACTED I do not know of any thing that will undo the work of per oxide of hydrogen on the hair. The case Is more distressing if the bleach, has been applied by an amateur, for only an expert can put it on evenly, If you are unwilling to wait until ' the hair growa in, so that you will again have its natural color, you might try this brown stain: Green walnut skins, two ounces; alum, one-fourth ounce; pure oil, four ounces. Heat together in a water bath until' -the water ha been completely evapo rated. Then express, filter and perfume, t Sage tea may be used to darken the hair. &ake a strong brew of dried leaves, strain the liquid carefully through muslin, and to each pint add two teaspoonf uls of alcohol. This should be rubbed on the hair every night before retiring. r. . .'.' Superfluous Hair SUBSCRIBER For superfluous fcair I would advise you to try any ot the following depilatories, which usually frove very effective. I cannot assure heir permanence, however, for the only way such a result can be secured la by the electrolysis treatment, but thla la very expensive. Here are the formulas; A good depilatory is made as follows; Sulphide of soda. 100 grains; . slaked lime, eighty grains: starch, twenty grains; limewater, four fluid drams. Barium sulphide is also used as a paste for depilatories. The standard formula is: Barium sulphide, eighty grains; powdered chalk. 400 grains. Mix with water. The barium sulphide must be absolutelr dry to be effective when it la mixed with the chalk. Enough water ahould be - afterward added to make a thin paste. Sulphide of utrontium also makes an efficient depilatory. It ia made as follows: Sul phide of strontium, two drams; oxide ot sine, three drama; . powdered starch, three drams. sold tn a new sort of bottle, for all must be carefully measured before being taken. The little receptacle has a glass stopper, with a small groove halfway down on one aide, while the neck of the bottle has a groove halfway up. When' the stopper is turned so that the two grooves do not meet, the bottle Is air tight, but when the grooves colncldo, the bottle may be tipped in the usual way tor pouring, end the medicine will appear drop by drop. It la needless to explain the great convenience of thla new invention, for every one knows how hard it !a to And the usual dropper when It Is wanted, how difficult It la to keep it clean, and how unsatisfactory It ia to use. . ' Other novelties have also been put on " the market, each designed to keep the medicine germ proof. To this end all important drugs are put into glae stoppered bottles, for cork somettmet becomes dusty. New atomiaers fcavs been devised and a new glass irra:. has been made for the purpose of In halation to cure nasal ills. M'-.m-u .-.- glasses, too. are more carefully sM fully marked in this day, and many in genlous sppllances have been m.i tn the shape of night clocks. m! t shadns and covers for aiaaf In the efcttioriu Jr. ci It x i. , ', tj -
