The highest temperature about Ne hulem is where the sheep shearers are only getting four centa a pound tot their work.' flic denizens of Gcrvals can now get their regular elet-p. The frog ponds have ull been cleaned and their Inhabitants moved elsewhere. . - Mrs. Sarah Meek, who came with net husband to Lane county and settled on 4000 acres of land In 1S53, died In Kugene last Week. Biiggy horses muat be quite tame , d'fwn at Medford. The band boys there have Just received new uniforms that rival Joseph's coat. . Whenever an Ashland woman buys bolt or muslin the papers say the en gagement of her daughter Is "senU olllclally announced." Since Postmaster Robblns has fitted up his olllce with 80 call boxes and 3i with combination locks, the citizens oi Nehalemn are writing letters to them selves. ' , There Is an organist at a Salem church so wedded to her art that It no uncommon thing for her to throw her soul Into her work and break the bellows. A sea Hon thought he had a snap over at Westport. He sprang at fish erman B. A. Evans and held on to nib coat so that Mr. Evans nearly went over board.- .1 , A Douglas county paper tells about large egg which "was laid on our table today by Farmer Brown." That man Brown is probably a descendant of old man McDun. Snakes are crawling out of their win ter quarters down on Link river, and Klamath people have now placed a bot tle of antidote even on their parlor what-nots. The Coast Mall says that John Swan- son lost the best part of his hand in that place lately. John should elthei . watch his discard or stand pat and bluff after this. The peace of the penitentiary was dis turbed last Friday by two convicts who fought with knives, and one of them named White, from Umatilla, Is now laid up at the hospital. A Linn county principal is in a peck of trouble. He attempted to punish a big girl for whispering, and now a jury Is to decide whether he was not a little too severe in his punishment. The question which now clangs through the head of the Upper Wlllam ette valley is how much damage the hop louse will do the hop crop. They are now In the second generation. As so many followers of Galloway at The Dalles are talking through theli hats, the manager of the telephone ex change complains of the lack of sub scribers, and he Intends closing up shop. RARE SELF-POSSESSION. "Tho most self-possessed woman ever saw. Is Just now one of the belles. at Old Point Comfort," said Arthur Spalding, of Bridgeport. "She is a perfect Juno as to figure, and half tlk manly heads of the place have been turned by her, and the other half would give all their hopes of the hereaftei to be called as she called her spaniel, Sweetheart.' The young lady hac played no favorites among her admirers, however, and an examination of hei card at and of the dances would show a list of names as different as those ot the register yonder. "The other day she went up for her usual promenade on the ramparts ol the fort, and, as usual, was accom panied by her aunt, who Is her chap eron, one of the rigid rules being to - ullow no man to escort her when she takes her morning constitutional. By some aggravating cause she lost an article which Is an Important part of .the feminine apparel. It happened that a. bright young devil of an army ofilcet ame along and picked It up. He ca ressed the narrow strip of blue silk, admired the artistic workmanship of the gold contraptions on either end of it. &ni UDon closer examination, de ciphered those. Initials that agreed with those borne by the charming creature who was swaying along the path a hundred yards In front of him. With characteristic honesty he hurried after her and, catching up, handed out the article with a bow of consummate grace, saying: 'Miss B :, pardon me, but I believe (his property is yours.' "She thanked him with a cordiality lhat made him almost stutter, and, turning to her aunt, remarked with ap parently unconscious naivete: ," 'Sweetheart Is such a careless fel low. Come here, you rascal.' Then, at the spaniel responded to her call, she fjstened the dainty creation around his neck, and, bowing sweetly to the officer, passed on with the wondering iinlmal scampering In front of her. It had been a toy terrier she ,:"Ji.ve been lost. It is scarcely ne cessary to add that when Sweetheart returned to tho hctel he was not sport ing a blue silk collar with gold clasps on it" Washington Star. EAT ONIONS. An exchange says: "A physician was seen buying a oarra m belrg guyed about his purchane. said: JI always have boiled onions for dinner for the benefit of my children. I like onions, tco. They are the best medicine I know of for preventing colds. Feed oni-M-s raw, boiled or baked to the thlldien three or four times week and thty will grow healthy and strong. No worms, no scaletlna, no diphtheria, where children eat plenty of onions every day.' Another dlstinguIsMed phy sician confirmed the forgoing statement, adding: I couldn't give better advice, i jio matter how bard T may try. VALUE OF ANTISEPSIS. . How Surgery Has Been Advanced By This Practice. " These last 20 years surgery has been advancing at an almost vertiginous pace, and its progress ami improvement are due to the universal ini;.-i :-o of antisepsis nd to the adoption of proper dressings. The most daring operations are now crowned witli success, and different vis cera which had previously been carefully avoided bv surgeons are treated safely in,i in thn u-pir.ire of the patients. It is an every day occurrence to see the ab dominal cavity opened either to remove a tumor or to make some operation on tho intestines. Tho brain is laid baro to free it from some compression from which it is suffering or to open an abscess and give a free exit to the pus. Under all these rirenmstances the sunreon intervenes with perfect security whon he bus ini nntely taken "tho necessary precautions to protect the wound he creates irom in fection by germs. These danserous germs are both with in the patients and about them, and for this reason it is absolutely tnuispensurjie to disinfect the spot that the operation is to affect and also everything connect ed with the operator, his instruments or assistants. As for the germs floating in the atmosphere, some surgeons endeavor to counteract their effect by spraying antiseptic liquids about tho room during the operation." The point to bo guarded against above all others is infection of the seat of intervention, and this can be accomplished by destroying the germs that may have already invaded it or by closing up all access to it on the part of those that may be about it. I he former can be effected by the use of antisepsis and the latter by asepsis. Complications arising from firearm wounds seem to result from the action of germs which are not carried by the projectiles, as might be supposed at first thought, but by the patients' clothing. In one of the late meetings of the Societe Imperio-Royale des Medecins de Vienne, M. Habart reported the experiments he had undertaken in this connection with M. Faulhaber concerning the infection of firearm wounds. These two investi gators, using regulation rifles, fired at boxes of gelatin, of which some were sterilized or covered with sterilized blot ting paper, others surrounded with pieces of old uniforms and others with pieces of uniforms dipped in pure cultures of staphylococci. In the first case the track of the bullet remained asceptic; in the second were found, in addition to pieces of cloth, a variety of microbes, while in the third the. boxes contained nothing but staphylococci. In short, a bullet striking tho body of a soldier or a piece of shell entering his flesh stands every chance of creating an infected wound. It is therefore im perative to treat all wounds in wartime antiseptically, and we owe a great debt to the different authorities who in time of peace are preparing a sufficient stock of packages of dressing to supply each soldier or officer on the day war may break out. This small package of dress ing; with which each soldier is to be fur nished is to be placed, in the French army, in a pocket specially prepared for it and is certain to render great serv ices, whether used by the wounded man himself or by tho ambulance corps. However temporary this remedy may be, it will still have the advantage of sup plying the regimental surgeon with al most enough dressings for the first de mands on the battlefields without his having to make use of his stores, and it will rapidly place the wounds out of reach of the danger of infection arising from, con tact with clothing, hands or the ground. A German army surgeon, 21. Koerfer, has been testing the value of inhalations of chloroform in the cerebro-spinal form of sunstroke, and in the case of two sol diers very seriously affected with uncon sciousness, convnlsions, bypersosthesia of the skin, livid skin and weakened pulse, the' prolonged administration of chloroform succeeded in putting an end to all the symptoms. The favorable effect of the chloroform showed itself as soon as its use was commenced by marked improvement in the pulse, but the convulsions did not cease altogether until the narcosis had been kept up for an hour and a qunrter in one case and for a quarter of an hour in the other. The UBe of cold water and hypodermic injections of ether, to which recourse was had in the first cose, -where the symptoms were particularly serious and before the chloroform was tried, were found to be powerless and to have no other effect than to bring on or increase the convulsive attacks each time they were tried, with tins patient AI. Koer fer also made an injection of two centi grams of morphine toward the end of the chloroform seance, and when the man began to come out from the effect of the chloroform he fell asleep again nnder the influence of the morphine, and on awakening finally the convulsive at tacks had entirely disappeared. Chloroform acts in these cases by stop ping tho convulsions which help to raise the temperature of the body by lessening the production of heat and also by facil itating the radiation of the heat of the body. Hypodermic injections ot ether are given to prevent asjihyxuv, and caf feine administered in the same way has twofold purpose, to increase or re-es tablish the urinary secretion and to ton- ify tho system in general. In the fu ture it will be well to bear in mind the usefnlness of chloroform in these very severe cases of sunstroke. Paris Hera! J KEEP CP WITH THE TIMES, don't cling to the Imperfect things.
