The treatment of small cuts is usually < o?^«Mer?d a 1rinor point in household surgery; but when we con sider the theory of germs, and the antiseptic treatment of wounds, we come to see that every email scratch or pin-prick has its danger if not properly treated. Cleanlcness is all important in the treatment of WOUIKIS. large or small. The scratched or Lorn ski/i should be at once bathed in water as hot as can be borne, in which a few drops of carliolic wid have been mixed. In this way all dirt which urght other- wise endanger the health of the sufferer is removed by tilt"; ttot water, and the wound ss purified b, the carbo'ic. Broken Needles. Few things in fomnwn u^e are riore da^igerous than needle*. This u> especially true if they are broken r.1\(l dropped carelessly oil the floor. It Ls hard to get rid ot a broken Medie. rhe only sure way is to pijft it into the tire; but even then it has a faehsor cf dropping down through the bars of the grate and re- appearing when least expected. Did you ever try liiaimet for drawing out a. broken needle that had come so imbedded in the flesh that a deep cut seemed necessary in order to remove it? Well, it is a bit iiriorujaiion which it is well to keep in mind, for it had been tred a,ud found effectual. Men and Women Diners. Women as dinera-out are rarely sought after. At the conventional dinner party they are present in numbers equal to matching the men guests, but in selecting the couples the liostess usually asks her women for their beauty, toilet, or because tiiey t.ap|*>ii to be tbe wives at the men she desires—very seldom for any individual quality they possess, not more than one of the sex in five hundred ever being able to meet the requirements laid dowi for men. One reason for this is their incapacity to disguise their utter indifference to stories and anecdotes. A jcke or an absurd incident tliat a man will roll under his tongue, laugh over and repeat ior years, will scarcely tickle the risible iaculties of hie wife. He thoroughly enjoys an audience who will listen to It's talk, whether grave or gay, and he seldom hears a good thing said without storing it up tor future use. Flower Petticoats. The popularity of sheer light materials for gowns this summer has called out no end of dainty silk petticoat. An apple bloeeom taffeta skirt is the pride of a flourishing lingerie establishment, and it certainly is delightfully sugg-estive of spring blossoms. Taffeta of pale pink, shot with the palest green, forms the foundation of the full godet skirt. Around the bottom of the skirt there are three full rufflee of the shot taffeta, cut in scallop and edged with full ruches of deep rostt taffeta. These skirts are fitted as carefully over the hips as outside skirts are, and there is abso- lutely no fulness to be disposed of at the waist line. Grey Hairs. A woman expects to see a few silver strands appearing in the midst of the hair when she has turned thirty, but there are certain causes which hasten this generally undeeired process. A disturbance of the nervous system by violent emotion, grief, constant headaches and rheumatism of the scalp, all induce the bleaching of the pith con- tained in the hollow organs of the hair fomeles Excessive washing of the head is very bad for the hair, and a celebrated doctor shows conclusively that prerr.ati-re baldness is due very often to this practice. If it dees not weaken the hah, it tends to gr^yness. Prepciations of iron taken internally are often very effective in restoring the colour, as the colouring matter of the hair owes its tint to the iron in the sytteui. Dyes are disapproved of, though we grant you all tre not dangerous; but, unfortunately, the reaJ.ly efficacious ones almost always are. The simple "staining" preparations are apt to give a neutral tint, which quickly disappears, and in any clue will want renewing four or five times a week. Preserving Flowers. A florist of many years' experience gives the follow- ing rccipe for preserving bouquets: When you re- ceive a bouquet, sprinkle it lightly with fresh water: then put it into a vessel containing some soap-suds, which nourish the roots and keep the flowers as bright as new. Take the bouquet out of the suds every morning, and lay it sideways in fresh water, the stock entering first into the water; keep it there a minute or tv-. tlian take it out, and sprinkle the flowers light-lv by the hand with pure water. Re- place the bouquet in the soapsuds, and the flowers will bloom as 'reah w when first gathered. The soap suds to be changed every third day. By observing these rules a bouquet can be kept bright and beautiful for "At least one month, and will last still longer in -r. passable state, but the atten- tion to the fair umi trail creatures, as directed above, must be strictly «*»erved.

Their voices are pitched high up in the scale, void 1. "e oone of the harshness of a deeper tone.

The Parson's "Staying Powers." A vicar, never noted for the brevity of his fermons, was recently taken ill. At the last moment a clerical friend volunteered to occupy the pulpit on the following Sunday. As the latter was a preacher of some note, the church was well filled, and the congregation on the whole were mr>re than satisfied with t.he stranger. On the following morning a local gentleman whose name is well known in the world cf sport dropped in to see his 'riend the vicar. "Pleased to see you," exclaimed the invalid. "I suppose you attended church as usual last night. What did you think of my friend? Clever fellow, isn't he?" "Yes," answered the visitor; "he preached a very fair sermon, take it as a whole." "Only 'very fair,' rejoined the vicar; "why, my dear sir, he is one of the most eloquent preachers in the country." "Very likely," briskly responded the sportsman, dropping into his usual style; "all the same, though, he must be classed as a sprinter. In a short, sharp buret he would beat you out of sight, but as to staying powers, my dear sir, you would preach the fellow blind." The vicar laughed, but it has been remarked that his sermons are not so lengthy as of yore. Saved Bit by Bit. Before the erection of the new pier at the Castile Rock passengers from Dumbarton had to be conveyed down to the Clyde steamers by a ferry-boat rowed by two sturdy and generally elderly ferry.men. On a certain occasion an English tourist had seated himself on the Run- wale at the stern. One of the old ferrymen who was standing near, aware of the danger to anyone so placed when the rope of the steamer should be attached to the bow of the boat, took occasion to warn the man of his danger. "Noo, my man, come down off that, or ye'll coup over." The tourist replied by telling him to mind hi? own business and trust him to take care of himself. "Wee! said the ferryman, "mind I've telt ye; so sure as ye're sitting there, .'ie"ll coup ower." No sooner had the rope been attached and the boat pot the inevitable tug from the steamer than the fellow went heels up over the stem. "There! I telt him that!" However, bein., in the water, it behoved that every effort sho;d be made to resoue Iikn. So the ferryman made a grab at what seemed the hair of his head. when the wig came away. Throwing this impatiently into the boat, he made a second grip at the collar of hi" qbirt, when a front came away. Casting this from him with still greater scorn, he shouted to his companion, "Tummas, come here :oio.ld help to save as muckle 0' this man as ye caa, for hd'$coxnin' a' awa' in bits I" She: I don't see why it is that naWljrar-er our bathing suits. What is there in them worth talking about? He: It's what isn't in them that occasions so many facetious comments The scorcher, fast as he could pedal, Bumped into Deacon Brace; The scorcher fell from off his saddle, The deaoon fell from grace. "No, gah," said the Colonel, "I never go hunting, saiii. It's cruelty." "But you fish, Colonel. Isn't that cruelty, •00?" "What is a :fi$lh?" asked the Colonel, in scornful tones. "A creature tnat Las its fx:&- team entiahly in watah, sa<ii." When Love, our great immortal, Pue on mortality And down from liden's portal Brought this sweet world to be, At the sublime archangel He laughed with veiled eyes, For he bore within his bosom The seed of Paradise.

Social and Personal INTERESTING PARS ABOUT INTERESTING PEOPLE. A Column of Gossip and Chatter on an Infinitude of Ken and Matters. "The Murder of Delicia," Miss Coreili'e new story, is to be published -iext Tb>ircday. Mrs. Humphry Ward's latest novel, bir George Tressady," is to appear on the day flowing. Mr. J .M. Barrie's "Sentimental Tommy" is to share with these two books a proui'nent position among the earliest publications of the autumn season. The Queen will receive the Czar and Czarina on their arrival in the entrance-hall of Balmoral in semi-State, Lord Pembroke, as Lord Steward, ushering in the Russian Emperor and Empress, and from this stage the visit becomes a perfectly private one. Inetead of the Czar living the life he does at Copenhagen, where he rides about unattended on a bicycle, he vill be practically "shadowed" wherever he goes. Great secrecy is being observed as to the Czar's movements while in Scotland. Accord- ing to the altered arrangements, his Imperial Miajesty will arrive at Leith on Tuesday, and will be the Queen's guest at Balmoral for over a fortnight. During the whole of this time his daily movements with other members of the Royal Family will be of a private nature. De- tectives from Russia, augmented by specia' men from Scotland Yard, are already at Balmoral, pointing to extraordinary pie- cautione on the part of the Court. At Woodbury Parish Church recently the vicar, the Rev. J. L. Fulford, who was in tho fiftieth year of hL incumbency and the eighty-second year of bis age, sang the Litany and took a choral celebration, assisted by his eldest grandson, the Rev. J. L. L. Fulford, a priest of the diocese of Winchester. It was quite fanvily gathering for the Rev. H. L. Fulford, second grandson, read the Lessons; Mr. C. R. Fulford, third gnndson, officiated at the organ; and still a fourth grandson was an the choir; while two grand-daughters had charge of the Sunday School children. Then the present vicar of Willlenhall, Staffordshire (th-3 Rev. George Fisher), has teen possessed of the livting for over 58 years, while the Rev. G. G. C. 'laibot, who has just died, was rector of W ithington, near Cheltenham, for the ex- ceptionally long period of 62 years. A unique case of clergymen holding long livings, and one of more than usuad interest, was that of a dleogymaa named Mathson, who died in 1891 at the age of 90, after being minister of Patterdale, in Westmorland, for 60 years. For many years his benefice only brought him L12 a year, which was afterwards increased 10 the mundficent sum of jB18 yearly -the high-water amount- It is also stated that, with that pathetic simplicity and un- objervanoe of usual mathods general in out-of- way country districts, he himself read the Bursal Service over the body of his mother, mairied his father to a second wife, and in due course buried him also, published his own b-nns of marriage in the church with a woman he had formerly christened, and, though he diid not actually marry himself, he did, at any rate, marry all his four children. In an article in the September "Sword and Trowel some interesting particulars are given of the early life of William Milbura, the blind preacher and chaplain of tihe United States Congress, who, it will be remembered, was in London a year ago, and whose name was approvingly mentioned in the British press at tlhe time of the debates in Washington in con- ruction with the Venezuelan question. Milburn was born in Philadelphia in 1823, and unskilled treatment of an accident which occurred to his eyes when five years old injured his sight to such an extent tha.t in a few years' time he was totally blind. He was not without compensa- tion, however, as iliis ot!her senses became abnor- mally acute. Mr. Milbum has always been able to recognise acquaintances by their voice as readily as others do by sight, and judges of character by intonation of voice more in- fallibly than others do by expression of coun- tenance. As a youth Milburn's mnemonic powers were remarkable. On hearing his father read a cliapter of the Bible at family worship he could1 repeat it without a mistake; anid on one occasion, upon a class-mate reading twice over finite two-thirds of one of Dr. Clalmer's astronomical discourses, young Mil- burn repeated the ptissage verbatim, and de- claimed a portion of it in chapel. At the age of twenty Milburn became a travelling preacher of the American Methodist Church. i—————■———

TOWN IMPROVEMENT AT LLANELLY.
TOWN IMPROVEMENT AT LLANELLY. Now that the fbuilding of the new Town-hall at Llanelly has been completed the borough council are carrying out a scheme which will nrake the approach to tiie hall one of the finest in Wales. At present the environment of the ha idsonie building is not all tiha-t could be desired. However, a portion of tlhe River Lliedi is now being arched over. This will give a broad thoroughfare from the Town-hall to the junction of Stepney-street and Sala- manca-road. In time. froo, the awkward corner at Bradbury Hall will be removed. The lease on this house will soon expire. and it is stated that a iinèhotel will be built upon the site. When this scheme has been carried out there will be a magnificent pulblie square in front of the municipal buildings. The work of arching the river is now in progress, the contract having been let to Mr. T. P. Jones.
