Pledged but to Truth, to Liberty 'and Law; No Favors Win us and no Pear Shall Awe. M'HENRY, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, NGVEMBEB 20, 1895, THE MARRIAGE TIE, - ltleo and Women Not to Be Judged bjr the Same Standard. "Whether it is that we are poorer, or that we are more luxurious and exacting in our tastes, and that the jrirls of today require more in their marriage than tho ordinary Englishman can afford, I can­ not say, but unless girls hare great beauty or large fortunes we hear mtich more of the difficulty of their marrying. Among the mass of women, however, there is no revulsion from the marriage tie, and , all healthy minded girls and Women seem to be. just as muchinterest- - "ed in the question as were their grand->: mothers. The one great fact that has kept English society is the inviolability* of the marriage tie. Infidelity in a mar­ ried woman is surely reascin enough^# justify her husband in getting lid of her, and the woman who clamors for di vorce on the same grounds as men ia surely lowering the standard of female purity.in a ruthless way.' Is man, with his stronger, coarser, more animal na­ ture, to be judged by the same standard of chastity as a woman, with her higher ideals of life, her purer nature, and the exemption from temptation which she enjoys? If we think for a moment of the temptation to which men are exposed from their very early youth, and which they undoubtedly eombat very unsuc­ cessfully, and which attacks them at a time when they are most prone to suc­ cumb--in the period of youth,' Vigor and ignorance--and contrast their posi­ tion with that of women, we must sure­ ly feel that we are degrading our sex when we ask for a corresponding code of morality, or even suggest that women are to be tried by no higher standard than that to which men strive to attain. We are told that no union can survive the conjugal customs and intimacy of English married life. Perhaps the new woman thinks so because in her ephem­ eral passion no feeling of constancy, af­ fection or gratitude is possible. We be­ lieve that the overwhelming majority of old fashioned English women regard that intimacy as one of the purest and sweetest ever devised--one which, when the passion and desire of youth fade away, blossoms into a friendship, a cora- pansionship as constant as it is holy, without which their lives would indeed be barren.--Lady Jeune in Saturday Re­ view. • .

Y A O W E * PUB! IC Treatment of Dislocations and Sp rains. How to Placfe a Bandage--An Impro­ vised Tourniquet--What to Do In Cases of, Nosebleed and Barns. She was a very capable little woman and usually"sized up" to any occasion, but the care of those children was likely to prove a little too much for her. When she married a widower and no- j dertook the care of his five boys she knew that she would have to face many unexpected situations, and braced her­ self : to do her "best. She was not pre­ pared, however, for what she.called the "breakage" in the family. The constant risk to life 'and limb that five active* sport loving boys were capable of was a neW feature in her young life, and she felt that she was in. danger of .losing her head unless she prepared herself to meet the different calls upon her motherly care. In her extremity she appealed to her friend, the trained nurse. "Can't you give me some points," she said. "Tell me of the proper things to do before the doctor comes in case of certain accidents--won't you? Then there are many little things--braises and burns and things that I could attend to myself without sending for a doctor if I only knew how. D® help me out. Suppose, for instance, orreof the boys fell and broke his arm, vftiAt should I do before the doctor came?'^-^ "If I were you, I would do nothing but wait, unless the feurgeon was delay­ ed. In that case I would simply place the limb in between a folded pillow, fastening the pillow firmly together, thus muking a sort of'splint. "You will very likely have a sprain or two to deal with. You can either ap­ ply cloths saturated with ice water un­ til the swelling disappears, or you may use very hot water with vinegar in the same way. After the swelling has dis­ appeared you had better bandage the limb and let the little patient rest it on a level until it gets strong." "But I don't "know how to apply a bandage," was the forlorn reply. "Then it is about time that you did, * said the trained nurse. "Give me a piece of muslin and your bare foot, and I'll show you how." Then the nurse took the piece of mus­ lin and tore it into strips of 3 inches in width. Then saying, "Always begin at the extremity of a limb and work to­ ward the center of the body from left to right," she placed one of the ends of the strip at the instep and made a turn around the base of the toe. Then she carried the band diagonally over the foot, across the point of the heel and back from the other side, until it coin­ cided with the first turn. This was then covered and carried a second turn around the heel half an inch higher than the first. She then continued to make alter' nate turns under the sole and behind the heel, crossing over the instep until the entire foot was covered. In finish­ ing the bandage she split the last quar­ ter of yard of the strip through the mid­ dle, wound the ends in opposite direc­ tion around the limb and tied them in a bow. Then the band was all unwound again, and the pupil, trying her hand, was delighted to Bee what a "firm band­ age" she could make after two or three attempts. "In case of dislocation," continued the nurse, "there is always need of in­ stant action. Muscular tension increases rapidly and its reduction becomes more difficult with every hour that passes. "Fingers and thumbs can be set by pulling in place, but be careful not to use too much force. A joint is always weak­ er after an accident and should be strap­ ped in place until strong again. "Freddie's nose bled awfully the oth­ er day and frightened me so because I oould not stop it. It stopped itself after awhile, but what should I have done?" "It is a good thing to press gently the facial artery at the base of the nose and place cold applications to forehead and neck. I suppose you had him lean his head over a basin. Yes; most people do, and that is just the worst attitude possible. You should have made him stand erect, throw his head back and elevate his arms, while you held a cold, damp sponge to his nostrils. If you have an occasion like that again, and the bleeding continues after what I have told you to do has been tried, you had better syringe with salt and ice cold water or a solution of iron. "In the case of burns or scalds, if they are very bad send for your physi­ cian, but slight ones you can very well attend to. The first thing in such cases is to exclude the air. I find that baking soda and sweet oil make a soothing, healing application. If you can't get that conveniently, beat up the white of an egg and apply that with a bandage." "Will you tell me how to stop the flow of blood in case of cut, and then I'll let you go?" "Find the artery that is cut and tie a handkerchief around the limb just over where it bleeds. Tie the handkerchief tightly; then make, say, three hard knots. In the last knot insert a piece of stick.with which you must twist the handkerchief until it is tight enough to stop the flow. The handkerchief and -stick make as good a tourniquet. as we call it, as any one would wish."--Phil­ adelphia Press. A Morning Monologue.

"I don't mean one of your high­ ly sensitive creatures," continued he, "but a man 6 feet 4 inches in his stock­ ings, and as strong as an ox. Of such a man I heard during my last trip to the sound. He is a Russian Finn and is sensible on every subject save one. He has a vendetta against the walrus, and his cabin in the wilds of Alaska is built up with their skulls. "According to the story told me by a passenger who came down with me from the sound, this man settled in Alaska years ago. He married a native woman, and she bore him a son. A few years later the mother died, and all the affection of the half savage father cen­ tered on the son. Nothing was too good for the lad, and everything in the way of hunting and fishing lore was taught him. "When the boy was old enough, his father took him out on all his hunting expeditions and soon the youngster be­ gan working on his own account. ' "One fatal day he attacked an old bull walrus, but instead of killing it he himself was the vict im. When the father saw the dead body of his son he waa wild with grief, which finally settled into a species of madness. Now all he lives for is to kill walrus. "When the mania first seized him he lived in a dugout. Now his hut is on the ground and composed almost entire­ ly of walrus skulls. "He crawls up behind the brutes while they are asleep, and, seizing them by the tusks, stands them on end by main force,4 He looks into their eyes as though seeking to recognize the one that killed his son, and then his knife does the rest. The head is then cut off, and goes to make one more to the monument he is raising to the memory of his son. " . --San Francisco Call. The above will be sold at the lowest net cash prices.

The latest of these is that the wheels of a bicycle be­ ing encircled by a band of india rubber and dry air, which is a perfect insu­ lator, the rider is completely insulated from the earth and consequently is im­ pervious to the attacks of the electrio fluid. , » Any one who suffers from nervousness during a thunderstorm has now only to go into the dining room or the cellar and seat himself upon the Saddle of a pneumatic tire bicycle to be perfectly safe from lightning stroke. As the chances of a man on a bicycle being struck by lightning have been carefully calculated to be about one in a billion, there will, of course, be some pessi­ mists who will deny that this newly discovered virtue of the pneumatic tire amounts to very much. -- Pearson's Weekly. . • Sparrows Served, as Reedbirds.
