He was a native of Griswold and a Wweather prophet of no little note. He always styled himself in the goosebone class, although much of his proficiency was ti\ result of the study of atmospheric conditions. The item says that Mr. Niles, after examining the corn husks where he had been at work for a nearby far- mer and after noting the activity of the muskrats in building their houses so thick in Tadpole pond and high above the water, gave a_prognostica- tion of the winfer 1891-2. His fore- cast came almost startlingly correct. Local weather experts today are basing their beliefs of an early winter on the fact that the brooks and the swamps are already filled, which has not been the case for years. Mr. Niles always contended that winter never “closed in” for good until brooks and swamps were full. h Cost of Living.

A Thin Layer of Perforated Celluloid Substituted for Lint. London, Oct. 5.—Opinion among sur- geons and nurses is practically unani- mous in favor of the advantages of a new method of dressing large and painful wounds, whereby a thin layer of perforated celluloid is substituted for lint as the first covering for the raw wound. The plan was tried suc- cessfully first by Sir Allmoth Wright at St. Mary's hospital, Paddinston, and now promises to become generally adopted. The celluloid. first rendered soft and pliable by being soaked in & 20 per cent. solution of carbelic acld and then washed in a weak salt solution, 1s laid on the raw wound. the perforations being so numerous that it seems most- ly holes. Finc lint soaked in a 3 per cent. solution of common salt tn dterile water is then placed over the celluloid, after which firm bandages are applied. Owing to the celluloid, much firmer pressure can be used than with ordi- nary dressinzs. One surgeon, explaining the advan- tages of the cellulold dressing, further said: “In many cases the healing of a large wound is actually retarded hy the general hodily depression result- ing from the pain caused In tae dress- ing of it. ASain, gauze bandages, when laid direetly om the raw woungd, must characterized President __ Wilson's speech at Shadow Lawn, N. -, last Saturday as “admirably phrased and adroitly and captivatingly put” but added that “generalizations never will bear the acid test of facts.” Mr. Depew asserted that “while the inevitably, in the process of removal, tear away from their site certain of the tiny new cells which are formed by nature in effecting the cure.
