DEGREES OF BURNS.
How They Are Marked and How They
Should Bt Treated.
The medical books describe sever
al degrees of 4urns, according to the
amount of damage th fire has done
to the skin or the p.itt beneath.'
The first degree consists merely
j in redness and stinging of the skin,
such as is caused by the flame of a
match touching the finger for an in
stant or by a drop of hot wax from
a candle falling on the hand. Ordi
narily this is a trivial accident, and
the paiu of it, if annoying, may be
subdued by applying a cloth wet
with a solution of cooking soda, but
,if a large surface is burned, as when
a, cambric r.ight dress catches fire
and blades up for a moment, but it
quickly extinguished, the patienl
may suffer severely from shock.
In the second degree, blisters
form on the injured part. Care
must be taken not to tear the blis
ters in removing the burned cloth
ing, for example. A little snip with
clean scissors or two or three punc
tures with a clean needle should be
made in the part of the blister
which protrudes most, and as soon
as the water has drained away the
part should be covered with a cloth
wet with soda sluution or with
equal parts of limewater and olive
oil called carron oil.
In burns of the third degree the
upper layer of the skin is destroyed.
This is the most painful of burns,
for the sensitive cutaneous nerves
are exposed. The first thing to do
is to cover the part so as to protect
the bared nerve endings frorn con
tact with the air. The same dress
ing as that for burns of the second
degree will give relief until the phy
sician comes. Carron oil is best,
but the soda solution is better than
nothing and much better than plain
water or oil.
In burns of the fourth degree
the third and fourth degrees usually
occur together the skin is burned
through and the bare flesh is ex
posed. This, strange as it ma;
seem, is less painful than a thin'i
degree burn, for now the nerve end
ings, which receive and transmit
the painful sensations, are cntircb
destroyed.. It is more serious in its
after effects, because it always
leaves a scar which is disfiguring
and may contract and draw the part
out of shape.
In burns of the fifth degree the
muscles and other tissues are more
or less extensively disintegrated,
and in those of the sixth degree the
entire limb finger, hand, arm,
foot or leg is destroyed.
In all these severer burns there
is more or less shock, which may be
so profound as to kill, and there are
also serious symptoms caused by
congestion of the internal organs
and probably also by a poison form
ed in the burned tissues. Youth's

The Chief Requisite.
Uichard Watson (Jililer had a dry
wit of his own. lie once received a
call from a young woman who wish
ed to secure material for an article
of 3,000 words on "Young Women
In Literature." "It was a fetching
subject, full of meat," explained the
yoiiug woman afterward, "aud I baw
not only 3,000 words in the story,
but at least 0,000. But 1 never got
any further than the first question.
Mr. Gilder's answer took the very
life out of me. I asked him, 'Now,
Mr. Gilder, what would you 'say was
the first, the chief, the all essential
requisite for a young woman enter
ing the literary field ?' I waited with
bated breath, when he answered,
'Postage stamps!' "
Whero She Drew the Line.
A story of a little maiden who
finally asserted her rights is related
in an exchange.
She was only three years old, and
it ws her first visit to a number of
relatives. Aunts, uncles and cousins
crowded around her and kissed Tier
over and over again. She stood it
patiently and gave every kiss that
was asked for without demur. After
awhile, when 6he had run the gant
let of affectionate relatives, Uncle
Torn snid, "Now, baby, I'll take you
out to see the cow." ' -
Outside the door she stopped and
Bhook her little head. "Uncle Tom,"
she said, "I won't kiss the cowl"
And Undo Tom t6ok pity upon
her and did not insist.
It Made Him Angry.
When a merchant in the tlill dis
trict who had been standing in
front of his store saw two young
men stop the other day and begin
l 'liking over his wares he naturally
vas pleased and immediately gave
them attention.
' I want to know," began one ol
!.c".i, "if you have any clean shirt
ic;u!y to wear."
"Certainly, certainly!" was tlw
j Jik rop'xtse.
"Well, then, go in and put one ol

BASKETBALL
SEASON ON.
Grand Struggles In All Big
- Leaguas Anticipated.
HOW THE TEAMS SIZE UP.
In West Chicago Appear Strongest.
In the East No One Team Standi Out.
as Best, but Cornell and Columbia
Look Good.
Judging by the Intense In U-rest that
la being displayed and the large at
tendance at every game, the 1010 bas
ketball season will be the greatest
strenuous and popular Indoor game has
ever bad. In fact, basketball now oc
cupies a more Important place In the
curriculum of college athletics than
ever before. In the east a grand strug
gle la anticipated for the chance of
playing ugalust the wlnuer of the west
ern title for the national champion
ship. Yale. Cornell. Princeton, Pennsyl
vania and Columbia universities are
all represented by stroiig teams this
season; but, while the honors seem to
lie among these teams, there are many
other fives to be reckoned with. Take,
for InHtanee, the West Point cadets.
Uncle Sam's boys have one of the
strongest teams In the east, while Wll
llaum, Dartmouth, Perni State, Brown,
Georgetown, Rochester and Syracuse
are all to be reckoned with before the
season's honors In the east are decided.
Of the so called big six Trlnceton'
team Is the weakest at present, but
the Titters have several good players,
and the team may show Improvement
later. Cornell is represeuted by one
of the strongest Uvea that ever repre
sented the Ithacaus on the floor. Id
Captain Crosby Cornell lias one of the
best all around players the game has
ever brought to light. lie is a splen
did shot and Cornell's main offense.
As he is a first class man himself.
It is up to him to develop some good
guards and another forward. Iast sea
son he had a few green men and whip
ped (hem Into such shape that at the
cud of the season the team disputed
the championship with Pennsylvania.
While Yale has lost Eddie Van
Vleek as center, the enutlira have any
number of good subs left. The team
for the present Is made up of Captain
Eauies, guard; Iloldenridge and Hide,
forwards; .Seudder, cculer, and J .egg
and Murphy,- guards All these were
regulars last year except Judder
and Murphy, who were substitutes.
Fred Murphy, the baseball captain
and football hnlfba.'k. Is the best bas
ketball guard In college, and It Is ex
pected that he will piny In the r ham
pioushlp g'nes. Yale expects to have
a belter binkethi.ll team than for two
years, although there Is no profession
al coach, graduates helping Captain
Kit mes.
Although Pennsylvania in minus the
servl.es of the famous Kleuath. one of
the best basketball players any uni
versity ever h:id. and t!ie two guards.
McCrudden and Klefeber, McMchol.
Hough and Spier are left, however,
while Miller, captain of last year's
football team, also showed up well last
year in the few games that ho played.
This In Itself Is a strong nucleus for a
var-.Py team.
Tlie prospets for a strong team at
Columbia are very bright. Captain
Ted Klendl has two of last year's suhx
and one regular left to help him out
With Malum and himself for forwards
these two positions will be well taken
care of. Columbia's reeeut easy de
feat of Princeton In New York by a
wore of 40 to 9 shows that the Blue
and White men will be In the thick
est of the fight from start to finish.
In the west a grand struggle for the
conference championship among the
three big universities Chicago, Wis
consin and Minnesota-Is in order. Of
the trio Chicago appears to be the
strongest. Although former Captains
Schomnier and Oeorgen are both out
of the game for good, the Maroons
have a strong nucleus upon which to
build up another powerful live in Cap
tain Hoffman, Page and Pulkcrson,
guards;, Hubble, subcenter, and Clark,
Kelly, Cleary and Henry, forwards.
This squad of veteraus will be re-enforced
und strengthened by several
likely candidates from last year's
freshman five.
Minnesota has ulne veterans of last
year's team In Grimes. Mencka, Grant.
Roseuwald, Anderson, Lawler, Wal
ker, Hanson and Glltinan. Imix, Bobll
lard and Clark are some of the fresh
meu who are showing exceptional
quality on the floor.
Wisconsin will have a powerful five
this season and will undoubtedly make
things warm for tfielr rivals.
Naison May Be Referee of Big Fight.
Battling Nelson Kays he may be th
third nun) in tlicj'lug in the coming
Jeffries-Johnson fight for the world's
heavyweight championship.
"Johnson made the suggestion a short
tlmu ago that I net as referee In his
light with Jeffries." declared Nelson re
cently. "Sitae then I have also seen
Jeffries, and he also Is agreeable to my
ill'n lilting."

Brent Hayes, tin actor, new In this
country, will next summer try to swim
Iho Kngllsh clinnnel. Hayes ban al
ready made many preparations to at
tempt the feat. Jin bus made several
reccrds for eudurauce swimming.
HOCKEY SEASON
IN F011SWING.
Title Gamss In A'l Circuits From
Now On
CLOSE RAGES ARE EXPECTED,
I In New York Amateur League Several
Team Appear to Be Evently Match'
ed The Intercollegiate League Fight.
Pittsburg Prospects.
Ice hockey, that fast, furious and
brilliant national pastime of the boys
ucross the border, will from now on
until March occupy a conspicuous
place In the limelight of the sporting
world. In fact. Judging by the present
healthy condition of the sport and
large attendance at the games In New
York. Pittsburg, Cleveland and St.
Paul and several other cities where
the game is played, besides that on the
different Canadian circuits, It surely
looks as if the streuuous lee game will
enjoy the most prosperous seaBon It
has had In some years. .
The uncertainty which exists as to
the ultimate outcome of the race for
the championship of the Amateur
Hockey league lu New York tends to
add greater Interest to the season.
Three of the five clubs which compose
this circuit have shown great ability,
and It Is a tossup as to which of them
will win out.
The New York A. C. Is even stronger
than It was last season, except in one
feature-Jlmmle Sherrlff still Is firmly
ensconced In his announced intention
of being a spectator and not a player
this season.
The Wanderers are more than 100
per cent better than Ihey were last
year and have put what could probably
be termed an all Canadian team on the
Ice. The St. Nicks will be In the fight
right up to the finish and have shown
that the club which defeats them will
be going some. The other two clubs,
the Crescents and the Hockey club,
will furnish no end of opposition to
the three "best bets" aud will be stum
bllug blocks uot to be overlooked.
All of these teams have had consld
erablo practice, aud their players are
In the best shape for a bard season.
Under such conditions aud Judging
from the speed and fine play which
have been exhibited In several games
to date the caliber of hockey In the
league will be of the best.
- The fact that many of the sevens
have been strengthened by the secur
ing: of the services of Canadian ama
teur players of the first rank indi
cates that the wiuners will have to
travel at top speed throughout the sea
sou. The teams which have been seen
in action thus far have all shown
marked improvement over their work
of Inst yenr. They have solved many
of the more dltlleult features of play,
and New York Is lu for a siege of the
best hockey it lias ever known.
The Ititercolleglnte league of which
Harvard. Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia.
Princeton and Confell are members
holds another element of uncertainty.
Princeton is the only one of the teams
to show marked weakness, but this In
a l:irr;e measure has been eradicated
Probably the best showing by any of
the tennis has been made by Harvard,
with Cornell next. All the teams In
the league have been practicing stead
ily slnie Thanksgiving day and are
In condition to play lively games aud
maintain their ability to the end. The
campaign of the college boys will ex
tend until Feb. 1!). eight games being
si heduled for New York, seven for
Boston and one for Cambridge, Mass.
The recent visit of the Cleveland
und tho college teams to Pittsburg has
stirred np renewed Interest In the
t,aine there. And there-Is considerable
tail; of organizing a new. league. As
there are quite a few players residing
lu Pittsburg who were members of
teams lu the Western Pennsylvania
Hockey league und who are more than
.inxlous to get buck in the giune. It
looks as If the promoters would experi
ence very little dllllculty In getting to
gether several strong teams. Among
these players are such stars as McKay.
