How to Deal with Minor Injuries.
The old pr verb "accidents will
happen" is exempli tied daily in every
household and every child should be
taught how to take prompt and
proper measures to remedy the mis-
chier ana lo Keep periecuy cooi no
matter what may happen preserving
self-control and presence of mind.
When accidents occur it will only
add to the confusion if you rush
wildly about and scream. Prompt
action and perfect quiet are men
called for. Every mistress of a house
should have a basket or a bureau or
closet drawer failed with necessary
articles with which to remedy the
every day injuries to which all flesh
is liable and learn how to apply
them. There should be rolls of old
linen and cotton parts of old flannel
garments with the buttons cut off a
pair of scissors three or four needles
ot dinerent sizes threaded with cot
ton a little lint some wide tape for
ligatures some old gloves to afford
"cots" for sore lingers a bottle of
arnica tincture a roll of sticking
plaster another of belladonna plaster
and arnica plaster some court plaster
a box of vaseline a bundle of ground
flaxseed anil oil meal for poultices
some ground slippery elm and a box
of simple cerate (made by simmering
beeswax and sweet oil together) a
bottle of aqua ammonia one of cam-
I phor and one of laudanum. With
these articles close at hand any one
who possesses self-control and decisr
ion of character sutticient to control
the nervous system will be able to
dress at least temporarily wounds
of all kinds cuts and bruises burns
and scalds or stings of insects.
t!uts must be treated according to
their position and severity. If a lin-
ger or toe is cut bathe or immerse it
in colli water until the blood ceases
to How washing out all dirt or bits of
foreign substances that have entered
the cut. If it is deep notice how the
blood flows; if it is dark and oozes
slowly from the cut only a vein is
severed and it is not serious but will
soon heal if kept from the air. J!ut
if it is of a bright scarlet hue and
spurts out in jets an artery is severed
and a doctor must be called at once.
Meanwhile a ligature must be tied
above the wound and the thumb
pressed down and held upon the
artery to prevent loss of blood. If
the skin gapes from a cut draw the
edges together apply a piece of sti 3k-
ing plaster over the whole surface
and put the linger or thumb of a kid
glove over the linger if it is the in-
jured part. If in a little while the
wound throbs painfully cover it
thickly with vaseline with a few
drops of laudanum stirred into it
and if- needful from severe inflam-
mation put on a poultice 0 flaxseed
boiled in a little water with a few
drops of laudanum. Hut vaseline
alone possesses great healing powers
for all kinds of wounds boils inflam-
rmttions and abrasions of the skin.
As long as the first dressing of a
cut remains firm and does not throb
or burn it should not be touched.
An outer clean cloth can be added
but let the inner one alone until the
wound is healed.
Cuts on the head are apt to be dan-
gerous and require much care. The
hair should be cut oft' all around and
arnica plaster put directly over the
wound.
A burn is usually more serious
than a scald; it is more likely to
prove dangerous on the chest and
body than on the limbs and face.
Common cooking "saleratus" (bicar-
bonate of sodii) is a specific for both
burns and scalds. Wet the powder to
a paste and spread all over the in
jured surface cover with a damp
cloth and keep it moistened until all
pain has disappeared. It will rarely
blister if this is applied at once and
the inner wrapping is not removed
for twelve hours or more. A six
months' old baby once dipped its fin
gers into a cupful of boiling tea turn-
ing over the cup upon the hand. Sal-
eratus was at once applied and the
scidd kept tightly covered and the
cloth moistened for hours. the follow-
ing morning there was no soreness in
the hand and only a little redness to
be seen.
If the clothes catch fire wrap a
coat a rug a table-cloth or a blanket
any woolen material directly
around the person who should be
made to lie on the floor and let the
flames be smothered by the wrap-
pings. There would be few fatal in-
juries from the clothes catching fire
if the person would lie down and
press out the flames with any woolen
material. Exclude the air. and the
flames must die.
If blisters are formed by burns or
scalds dress them with vaseline and
keep them from the air not opening
the bandages oftener than once a day.

Bees will go from three to seven
miles In search of honey but it is be-
lieved that when they have to go
over two miles they bring back but
little honey.
A correspondent of the Journal of
Agriculture recommends as a remedy
for hog cholera a half teaspoonf ul of
carbolic acid in a gill of milk to each
hog. It is administered from the
mouth of a long-necked bottle.
Delicate white mufflns are made of

Try the cow pea as a forage crop
planting it at once. Drill in the
seed in rows two and a half or three
feet apart aiming to drop twelve to
sixteen peas to the yard. Plow once
and hoe them and another plowing
will be sufheient.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette recommends the following
method of setting fence posts lie
knows of no better way of preserving
them : After setting the post and
well tamping the earth to within four
inches of the top of the hole fill up
with lime oil plastering will do as
well finishing the job by giving the
post two good coats of whitewash."
Months can be successful! jl Te-
moved from carpets in the following
manner: Wring a coarse towel out
of clear water spread it smoothly on
the carpet iion it dry with a good" hot
iron repeating the operation wher-
ever the moths are supposed to be.
The ply or color of the carpet will not
be injured as pressure is not needed
the moths being destroyed by the
steam.'
Of all men engaged in business
says a practical Xew England farmer
in a recent agricultural address farm-
ers are the most wastef uL The waste
of fertilizing material amounts to
twenty per cent and in many ways
a great deal more. Then there is &
waste in labor. Farming will not
pay if followed in the old way but
improved methods as they are proved
must be adopted.
F. K. Moreland writing to the
Breeder's Gazette on the training of
heifers says: ! wonder how many
farmers and dairymen properly appre-
ciate the importance of training
young heifer's to stand quietly while
being milked. A great many milkers
approach a young heifer that is to be
milked for the first time just as they
would approach an old one. The
heifer has never been milked knows
nothing about it is sick and weak
and- perhaps frightened with teats
that lack the toughness of the teats of
old cows and aj far as the heifer her-
self is concerned needs but slight as-
sistance to become a kicker."

THE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANI
CAL COLLEGE.
The requisition was made uoon the
comptroller for 20000 for this insti
tution but as the comptroller was
not satisfied with the correctness of
the contemplated purposes of the
requisition it was referred to the at-
torney general who will give his
opinion. The legislature it will be
remembered appropriated $30000 for
the college.
COMPTROLLER'S DEPARTMENT.
The comptroller warranted for pay
ment of only about $800 into the

Hon. John Ireland Governor of Texas Aus-
tin Texas:
Sir Replying to your favor of the
13th instant 1 have to state that W.
N. Bettis was murdered while sleep-
ing on the top of a box car in the
midst of a railroad encampment with
campers and sleepers all around and
near the tragedy. He was brained
with a spoke maul robbed and cov
ered up with a wagon sheet and not
discovered until hall' past 5 o'clock
the following evening.
The Mexicans are not suspected
with having anything to do with the
crime unquestionably some camp
mates did it. 1 thought it my duty
to address vou in relation the matter.
hoping to give publicity to it in a
proper shape for the sad news to reach
his family and that his mother might
communicate with me as I by virtue
of my position am the legal repre-
sentative of his effects in Mexico
and desired as little expense as possi
ble in disposing of his elfeets.
I remain sir with high regard vours
most respectfully

Gov. Ireland can do nothing 1 r t th6
natter but give it publicity through
the medium of his office as desired by
the consul.
The governor pardoned (). V. Ilel-
liT jrandt convicted in Frio county.
of the theft of cattle and sentenced
at the October term 1SS2 to two
years in the penitentiary. Iu this
case Gov. Ireland explains the grand
jury who returned the bill and the
trial jurv wrho convicted the district
attorney who prosecuted him and a
great number of good citizens say
that this man is a law-abiding and an
honest citizen ihe evidence as to
the ownership of the animal being
conflicting the man being now what
is known as a "trusty" and refusing
to leave without permission tor aJl
these reasons a pardon is granted liim
on condition however that it is to be
revoked on his first violation of the
penal laws of this state.
STATE DEPARTMENT.
The charter of the Bellville social
club association at Bellville Austin
county was tiled with the secretary
of state.
Also the charter ot the w eather-
ford female institute located at
Weatherford. in Parker county. The
incorporators are Dr. W. B. Miller E.

COMPTROLLER'S DEPARTMENT.
The comptroller warranted for the
payment of alio it $4000 collections
for account ot the general revenue
into the state treasury and ordered
the payment of about thirty pension
claims. The veterans are presenting
their claims at about this rate every
day. The payments are for S112.50
each for three-fourths of the year
their annual allowance under the act
of the last legislature being 150.
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT
Adjutant General King at latest
accounts had nothing additional to
his dispatches of Wednesday night
from Capt. Bayler at Sierra Blanco
in regard to the cow-boys' attempt to
take the town of Toyah which dis-
patch stated thatone of the assailants
was killed and that three others were
wounded and five taken prisoners
without the rangers being injure'.
The strike of the ttlegraph operators
may prevent further news at present
but it is not likely after such discom-
fiture that another attack will be
made especially as it is to be inferred
that Capt. Bayler took reinforcements
with him to the scene of action.
PENITENTIARY BOARD.
There will probably be no further
meeting of this board till Superin-
tendent Goree prepares specifications
for the contracts to be drawn up in
detail with the other bidders for the
work ot the penitentiaries the con-
tract with Messrs. Coiner & Farris of
Alabama being the only one drafted
and signed at present. The others
will be ready to sign doubtless in a
few days.
POLITICAL JiOTES.
The stalwart managers at the reg
ular session of the Pennsylvania leg-
islature agreed to give the Democrats
twenty of the fifty members under
the new apportionment but when
the extra session met it was deter-
mined to allow the opposition only
nineteen senators tho purpose evi
dently being to prevent any appor-
tionment at all. But six Republican
senators have refused to be ordered in
this manner insisting that the Re-
publican party should not be placed
in such a discreditable position.
Mr. George William Curtis of
Harper's Weekly declares ttiat the
record of the Republican party is
smirched with crimes and swindles.
And yet Mr. George William Curtis
and other kid-gloved Independents
will continue to wallow in the mud
and support the party that is smirched
with crimes and swindles.
A dentist in Pittsburg has discov-
ered that river water causes the teeth
to decay and crumble. Many persons
may be found who never drink river
water but their abstinence has never
been ascribed to their knowledge oi
this fact. The general opinion has
been that they preferred other bever-
ages when in reality it would appear
that they were only following an in-
stinctive impulse to preserve their
teeth.
There is a ripple of the Arthur
boom up in New Hampshire. Ex-
Gov. Smith says the first choice of the
Republicans of that state for presi-
dent is the present incumbent.
"Alexander the lolored cadet at
West Point" says the Louisville
Courier-Journal (Democrat "was an-
pointed by Congressman Geddes of
' ( 1 i .-. mhf. ia l TiimnAM' . . . .-. t"
publican journal has felt called upon
to mention.
Congressman Horr of Michigan
says that the Democratic members of
that state will vote for Carlisle for
speaker and that in the event of his
election Mr. Hurd of Ohio will be
I party leader on the door of the House.
Sunset Cox's game according to
one of his intimates is to be made
speaker and use the place as a step-
ping stone to the nomination of vice
president.

ceive feolO.000. Aow then if our civ-
ilization is to be measured by the
amount of money we are willing to
pay for vocal music of the highest or-
der the United States may contend
lor a front seat in the tamuy ol na-
tions when a prima donna is to war-
ble. A great many people have got
it into their heads that the way to
show that this country is abreast of
the most ancient of all the European
nationalities is to pay enormous
prices for paintings statuary and mu-
sic. Thousands of our shoddy aris-
tocracy go annually to Europe and re-
turn with their heads dizzy upon the
subject of art the opera the aristoc-
racy etc. They import foreign sing-
ers and make them princely rich in
a lew weeks; then they go back to
Europe and laugh at our verdancy.
In this connection it is interesting to
note the salaries the people of the
United States pay their most impor-
tant officials as compared with what
they are willing to pay distinguished
vocalists. The president receives
pay at the rate of $100.00 per day for
the 300 working days of the'year
Patti receives pay at the rate of 5500
anight for singing. If she were to
sing 300 nights she would receive $-
C50000. or 1(100000 more than the
president. A tabulated statement
will enable the people to see how the
singing birds of Europe get away
with us:

Governors of states are paid on an
average about 3.6t per day and pro-
fessional educators less than govern-
ors and when it comes to women
educators who toil eight hours a day
for 300 days a small rebellion would
be inaugurated if they were paid on
an average 2 per day. As a result
on the music question we are well
abreast of the most aristocratic peo-
ple on the face of the earth and are
becoming sublimated as rapidly as
foreign musicians can perform" the
task. Under such circumstances it is
right and proper to say something
sweet about music singers and sing-
ing. There is no mistake about the
mellowing thrilling and inspiring
power of music. We do not refer
particularly to the brass band or the
hand organ or other human inven-
tions but rather to the' human voice.
When that is in tune all other
methods of manufacturing music are
required to subside. It is said of
Lord Bacon that his great intellect
worked best when under the in-
fluence of music. Curran the
great Irish barrister loved to
touch the strings of his violin when
he was preparing his mind to wrestle
with courts and juries. Milton was
alwavs warmed into sublime activity
of thought when listening to the deep
tones of the organ. Mirabeau said
when dyi.'g: "Let medie in the sound
of delicious music and in its bright
fulfillment let me breathe my soul
away" and a " literary fellow " has
said :
' Oh. that I were
The viewless spirit of a lovely sound
A living voice a breathing harmony
A bodiless enjoyment born and dying
With the blest tone which made me."
That music is increasing its vota-
ries in America there can be no doubt
and unless we are much mistaken the
time is not distant when we will send
forth from our schools prima dorinas
who will bring back from Europe the
money we have paid them for music
with ' compound interest. In the
meantime the country can well afford
to be more liberal toward those toilers
in school rooms who are preparing
the rising generations to appreciate
the beautiful and the good in every
department of art and usefulness.
High and Low Tariffs.
il'rom the Indianapolis Sentinel. 1
It' has been thought advisable to
get the tariff out of politics that is
to say we presume out of partisan
politics. This would be well if it were
practicable. Simplified there.are two
propositions high tariff and low
tariff; in other words high tax and
low tax. The Republican party has
declared in favor of high tariff taxa-
tion. The Democratic party has an-
nounced itself the champion of low
tariff taxation. . The Republican the-
ory of government is to burden the
many with taxes that the few may
grow rich on extortions. The Demo-
cratic policy is that no man however
humble his position shall be taxed to
maintain any individual or corporate
enterprise whatever. We have heard
much of the ABC of tariff. Be it
remembered that tariff is tax. That
is the A of the business. The meth
ods of collecting may be the B and
the C. Politics is the science of gov-
ernment. Governments must have
revenue. Revenue is obtained by
taxation; hence you can no more
get tariff out of politics than
you can get revenue out of govern-
ment. The government must have
revenue and therefore taxation is in-
evitable in some form. The rjeoide
are willing to be taxed to support the
government ihey are not willing
to be taxed to support individuals
and corporations The people are
willing to be taxed that tho gov-
ernment may have all the
revenue required for its economical
administraion current expenses
pensions etc. but they are not wil-
ling to be taxed to create a sur-
plus revenue to be sqtuindered stolen
or embezzled. It is not a difficult
matter to get at the A B C of the
tax question. The people of Indiana
are willing to be taxed to build a
state house. The cost is fixed say
2000000. The contracts are made.
The money flows into the treasury
without a word of complaint or pro-
test. But the demand is made for
instance to increase the tax 100000
or any other sum for the benefit of
the contractors. Qhick as lightning
from the clouds comes the protest:
Not one cent for any such pur-
pose. And the party that would
advocate a tax for such a pur-
pose would go down as certainly as a
Colorado grasshopper would lose its
wings in a cyclone. The Republican
party demands in levying a tariff
tax that the people shall pay enough
to support the government and this
done that they shall also be taxed to
make certain individuals and corpo
rations rich beyond measure. The
Democratic party demands that the
tariff tax shall be modified and so ad-
justed that its burdens shall be equal-
ly distributed and that one class of
people shall net be taxed for the ex-
press purpose of creating a moneyed
aristocracy a gang of soulless monop-
olists. The Democratic party de-1
clares eternal hostility to class legis-
lation. There must be a tariff tax
and it will afford incidental protec-
tion to certain industries. The Dem-
ocratic party does not place itself in
opposition to the inevitable but it
does antagonize the Republican theo-
ry that the many shall be taxed to
enrich the few.

It is reported that in the cases on
docket at Austin against some mem-
bers of the legislature for gambling.
the names of some or all of the de
fendants were not given on the
docket. It is due to the members wiio
did not gamble that the names of
those against whom suits were insti-
tuted should be given. Can the
Statesman enlighten the Sun as to
the truth or falsitv of the report
above mentioned V Williamson Coun-
ty Sun.
The Denison Herald gives an ac
count of a well dug on Mrs. Fitch's
property in that city. This well it
says was dug ninety feet and bored
thirty-seven feet further. The water
rushed in with such velocity that it
was with difficulty the tools were re
moved and it now stands forty feet
deep in the dug part of the well. Yes-
terday it was inspected by the Water
Supply Company's engineer Mr.
Heron who estimates the possibility
of securing 200000 gallons per dav
through the six inch bore which is all
the water Denison at present needs.

mencement of Judge Walker's term

The Panola Watchman has this to
siy about the amendments: The
amendments ought not to and would
not be adopted if the people under-
stood them because they open the
door to a heavy increase of taxation
which is not needed as under the
present tax laws over 3.000.000 have
accumulated in the state treasury.
The Watchman holds to its assertion
further that the election to vote on
the proposed amendments cannot be
legally held under the provisions of
the constitution which it says asserts
that all proposed amend merits shall be
published in one paper in each county
if tNere be one for four weeks at
least three months previous to the
day of election and this clause of the
constitution has not been complied
withj hence the election cannot be
legally held.
The Fort Worth Democrat speaks
of cool nights as one of the great at-
tractions of that part of Texas. Xo
matter how warm the days are the
nights it says are always comfortably
cool and parties generally have to
draw cover over them during the

The Statesman can add that the
same thing is true of this section of
the state. In fact the nights in every
part of Texas according to accounts
generally are delightfully cool and re-
freshing. President Arthur to Visit the Yellow-

Thoughts Tor the Thoughtful.
At this season which in this section
is the beginning of an era of increased
business activity it behooves the mer-
chant the mechanic- the artist and
all classes who have claims to present
to the public to consider the best
means of doing this effectually.
.Newspaper advertising is a means
through which the shrewdest busi-
ness men have found it paid them
best to gain the public ear. A vehicle
silent but steady in its work ap
proaching the merchant in his store
the professional man in his ofiice. the
women at the fireside and never tiie
ing or sleeping. To do business a man
must have something that the people
want; he must fix his prices at a rea
sonable rate and he must make these
facts known. To do this latter thing
the daily publication is the best me-
dium for it is in a thousand places at
once speaking to numbers of people
from each printed page and saying to
each one the things desired by its
patrons it is a iaithtui servant; ttie
results of its labors are always in di-
rect proportion to the demands up -n
it. and it docs not take long for ex-
perience to teach the best style to se-
lect for the purpose. As to the prof-
its of advertising almost any busi-
ness man who has succeeded has found
that beyond question. The consider-
ation to the advertiser is gain. The
greatest return tor the money invest-
ed takes precedence of all other ques-
tions and the man who presents hi. it-
self most favorably is the one who
gains most. '
