tVj ASHES TO CURf CUTS. RIPANS TABULES Some of the best known physicians in Bussia are strongly advocating the adop tion in the government hospitals of an old Cossack cuptom of treating cuts and wounds with ashes. The Cossack peas antry have treated cases in this fashion from time immemorial, and Dr. Pash- koff, a Russian physician who has been studying the treatment, recently said in an interview in a Russian medical jour nal: "I strongly recommend the treating of severe cuts and wounds with ashes. Experiment has convinced me of the thorough efficacy of the treatment, and in addition it is cheap, takes little time to arrange and does away with bulky bandages, which have always been the bane of purses and physicians. The best- ashes are those resulting from the burn ing of some cotton stuff or linen, and only a very thin layer should bo applied. If the wound has been made by some dirty instrument and there is danger of blood poisoning, it should be first wash ed thoroughly with a lotion. The ashes with the blood form , a hard substance, tinder which the most severe cuts heal With remarkabl e rapidity*" i)r. Pashkoff has experimented with' E3hes on 28 cases of outs, and only two of the entire number failed to result successfully. These cases would have been cured, too, had not the nurses fail ed to apply prescribed lotions to the wounds before the physicians took them in charge. -It is extremely probable that the ashes treatment will be adopt ed in the St. Petersburg hospitals before long. ft'NCWOOD, |i,t ELGIN, ILL UNIVERSAL PROVIDER.

Hears With His Month. A boy whose mouth is wonderful, in that it does the double service of tasting and hearing, was in San Antonio today. His name is John Mihand, and his home is at Sabinal. He was born ten years ago. Both ears were closed at birth, and they have never been of Service to him. But by a remarkable freak of na ture his mouth has done what his ears Kught to have done, and he is not in commoded in the slightest. Several local doctors examined and tested the powers of the mouth and pronounced the case a phenomenon without a parallel.--San Antonio (Tex.) Dispatch. Our Actors.
