CARE IN USING ANTISEPTICS 1 IS?" Boston Surgson Glvos Advlco to Non- h Professionals Callsd UpoH to Render First Aid. Dr. Clarence Crane of the Boston University Medical school delivered I t an address on "First Aid" at the 1 r (Evans Memorial, Boston. "Surgical t cleanliness/' he said, "is of great im- ' J Iportance to one who would render i c tirat aid in wounds. Where possible. 1 'i horougbly scrub the hands with * -:oap, water and a clean cloth or I I'rush. paying special attention to the ' nails, rinse in some antiseptic if ' possible (alcohol is good), and if a 1 .sterile towel or cloth is not to be 1 obtained do not wipe the hands. Then cleanse the wound area with -nap, sterile water and cloth. Antiseptics, if they can be used intelligently, are valuable. "The ignorant , and unwarranted use of antiseptics is a source of great danger. Some I antiseptics are dangerous because of their destructive action on the tissues, and others because of their poisonous effect. They may he taken bv mistake or with suicidal intent, or they may fall ito the hands of children. Some antiseptics of the safer type are boracic acid, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, creolin. aristol, nutassium permanganate. Some of the more dangerous kinds are corro. re sublimate, carbolic acid, iodine." j . 'JLTIVATE ROSE FOR ITS OIL i '.insMtanta of Southern Bulgaria Rely h It ae Their Moat Important Export. Miles and miles of rose fields in southern Bulgaria are despoiled for 1 the extraction of the oil that forms ' the most important export of that part of the country. The aorta of rose trees principally cultivated for the purpose are the red Damascus and the common white rose. They : are planted at a distance of seven > feet from one another and require i very little care. r The buds are cut before they are half opened, fifteen tons yielding about one pound of oil, the cost of which ranges from $70 to $100. Before the war in the Balkans the largest demand for attar of roses came from Turkev. * The merchants get the exquisite perfume bottled up on the spot in tiny, hermetically closed flasks, i which are afterward sold at retail. ; LITER ALIST8. Literalism may be an appalling 1 blight. It is the bane of unimaginative men. They are often more de- \ ] serving of sympathy than of con iit'imiuiiou. cnxeei-car Tare in Cleveland is three cents. But if tickets are not offered, and if the ( exact three cents is not available, the rate is five cents per person. This 1 is a utilitarian rule, and has been found desirable in order to prevent the annoyance of conductors. There have recently been discov- ; , ered in Cleveland a number of co?ductors who have applied this rule "to the limit of literalism. They have refused to accept a dime as cash fare for three passengers. Although the proffered coin was one cent in excess of the stipulated cash fare, they have insisted that inasmuch as the .exact nine cents was not offered there must be three tive-cent fares ,'?aid. It has been necessary for the railway company to issue a general order against this peculiar manifestation of literalism. It may be noted, however, to the credit of the intelligence of the uverage Cleveland conMuctor, that the literals were few in lumber.?Cleveland Plain Dealer < AFTER THE SCENE.

The irst shot was followed by a fusillade j 1 :rom revolvers, rifles and shotguns, vhereat the horse laid bark his ears, , < lumped himself and was soon lost ' n the distance. The pursuers, ac- ' ording to the account, found the ( lorse quietly nibbling twigs at the 5 >dge of a thicket and looking ex- j 1 pectantlv at the bushes for the reap- 5 iearanee of his rider. Persons in j * the crowd then recognized the horse is a well-known steed that had been < jsed in the preparation of motion- ' picture films in which it was his 1 lart to bear away the "outlaw" escap- ' ing from the sheriffs posse. It was ' onjectured that when the bank rob- ' !>er stole the horse he acquired either I by accident or by design the trained motion-picture steed and that the nag when overtaken was waiting at the thicket to lie taken back for a repetition of the performance in orler to insure getting a good film.

A useful device for preventing ! street accidents has been patented and is about to be put on the mar- , ket. It is to be known as a traflic j regulator. In demonstrating its working the other day, the inventor pointed out that an arrow regulator, consisting of two switches fixed to the steering wheel, produces, when pressed, ! an electrically lighted arrow at the rear of the ear, indicating to the ; ilriver of any vehicle behind when the car is about to turn to the left or the right. Another device shows in addition to "right" and "left." the words "slow" and "stop," and can be seen by the driver of any vehicle within fifty yards, this latter l>eing worked automatically with the operation of the clutch or brakes. * SURE SIGN.
