A muscle which baa been strained either by overuse or by use In eome unaccustomed a ay often glvea rise to surh ooptp ?yr"tOT3 ss to lead to u li K'j.a; utiier and more aerloua trouble. Tbla affection la not the same as that called myalgia, which Indeed means pain In a muscle, but la usually of rheumatic or neural gic nature. The trouble here meant Is something less serious, being noth ing more than a strain. - It la easy to see that any muscu lar pain may be mistaken for rheu matism or some acute Inflammation, as It may give rise to precisely the same painful symptoms. For ex ample, when it occurs In some mus cle on the right side of the abdomen It bas been known to look for a time exactly like the colic of appendicitis, and It . haB time and again been treated as true rheumatism. There are several ways In wblcb the facts may be discovered. On questioning It will be found that some muscle or certain set of mus cles has been subjected to an un usual strain and is In a state of mu tiny in consequence. The pain will be worse at night and better Id the morning after the night's rest, prov Ing that It bas a basis of fatigue. Furthermore, It will yield entirely to a proper amount of rest. In fact this one thing rest comprises the whole of the treatment. When tbe abdominal muscles an Involved there must be rest In bet", with perhaps some anodyne to dead en the pain at flrst this, of course, to be given only under the order of a physician. In milder cases the patients can go about their usual du ties if fitted properly with an abdomi nal belt. When the muscles at the back of the neck are affected It Is a great re lief always to use a hlghbacked chair, and When the pain Is In the arm a sling should be worn. When this condition of painful muscle Is found In conjunction with a general loss of tone, as shown by lack of appetite, pallor and debility then In addition to local rest to the particular muscle Involved a general course of tonic treatment should be Instituted. When the trouble can be traced directly to the daily vocation of the sufferer a change should be made in the habits for a time where this Is possible. Unfortunately with most persons their dally bread will depend upon the use of Just this par ticular mnscle, and In these cases there is nothing to do but placate the part with all the rest that can be given It and help It with mechanical support for a time If thlB Is feasible. Diplomat Wasted A famous animal painter says that wh n he was a boy he osce witnessed a fight betweer two dogs, one of which belonged to an Irishman who was a retired prlteflghter. The Irish man's dog was badly beaten, and the fact was a source of deep chagrin to the owner. He was very Jealous of hl3 dog's record, but, as only he and the painter had seen tbe fight, be asked the latter. In a decidedly signi ficant way, which of the dogs won. "Why," was the reply, "your dog won, of course. He was underneath the other dog, but be was chewing the life out of tbe cur all the time." vThafe rolght," said the Irish man. "You Jiave saved your loife." What Makes a Navy. While the maritime nations of tbe earth are striving for the mastery of the seas through the building of gigantic vessels, we may content our selves wltb the thought that here we have the men and tbe Bplrlt that makes for victories. Sincerely It Is to be hoped that it will te long ere we shall bn called upon to test our prowess against these latest deveL opnients In naval architecture, but If the time does come we can com fort ourselves with tbe reflection tbat a gathering of ahlpa does not make a navy now as always (t la the man behind the gun. Washing tnu Herald. Very Tempting. A man was brought before a Jus tice of the peace charged with the offense of a kissing a young woman "by force and violence, and against her will." The young lady, who was Tory handsome, gave her testimony In a modest and straightforward manner, after which his honor gave the fol lowing decision: "The court la this case sympathizes wltb the defendant, and will therefore discharge him, without fine. Imprisonment or repri mand, because tbe court while this rase has teen In progress has been obliged to hold on to both arm of bis chair to keep from kissing the complainant himself." Hns Many Crowns The Czar has as many crowns as a fashloable lady has hata. He la re garded by his people as a religious as well as a secular monarch, and there fore has crowns for every possible state occasion. The Russian Imperial crown Is modeled after a patriarcblai miter. Five wagnlfioeut diamonds, -;tint r e ''uvt ''uw'ik ruby, or tbe cross at the summit Diamond and pearls of utmost perfection ren der this crown unrlvalad among all others, and there Is one sapphire In It which Is said to be the finest atone of Its kind ever mined. Smile's Fare Value. Although most of us would hesi tate to express what might be tann ed the face value of the "modern smile." we certainly realise at times that it Is a form of curreacy which Is depreciating. In the "modern smile" we recognise tbe crude, offi cial thing which neither Illuminates, cheers, nor bridges awful gaps of si lence. It may savor of suggesting wave of Imbecility to declare tbat we ought all to smile more; bat la la certainly true that the charm of woman's smile waa one tatMm4 Tea above bout. DOUBTFUL POWDER. Parky Expert rat It to the Test with a Vengranre. One day, after listening to a story particularly offensive with ago, Lin coln MrCopn!l, tbe Georgia evan gelUt, to! J ...i:;: An old darkey went Into a store down In Georgia and'asked: "Say, boss, you got any gun pow dah hrah?" "We, we have gun powder." "Lemme see some of that theah gun powdah." The dealer showed him some. ' "Pore a little of that powdah In my hand." The old darky took the powder near the light, ran his forefinger around and around In It, looked at It critically, and then amelled It two or three times. "And you say this heath Is pow dah?" "Yes," answered the dealer sharp ly; "that Is powder. What la the matter with llfc" "Dunno, boss" tbe darky shook his head doubtfully "but hit smells to me like it's done been shot off be-foah."

In which he was accompanied by Secretary Olney, he arrived during a severe storm at a town In which he was to speak. As he entered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the sta tion the rain changed to ball, and Immense stones battered and rattled gainst tbe vehicle. A brass band, rather demoralised by tbe storm, stuck bravely to Its post and played. "That Is the most realistic music I ever heard," remarked the Presi dent. ' "What are they playing?" asked the Secretary of State. " 'Hall to. the Chief with real hall!" rejoined Mr. Cleveland, Harper a Weekly. His Ce, 'm The Prince tof Valeo Is fond of telling a good story to his friends in connection with his visit uQ Ottawa some few years ago. 'The Prince then Duke of York stole away for a Quiet bicycle Bpln early one morn ing, and In his ramblings met a farmer, beading marketward, his wagon temporarily stilled by the loss of a nut belonging to the wblf fletree bolt. Hia Royal Highness, with his usual uemocratlc kindness, assisted him in putting things right, pn parting, tue farmer expressed his rough thanks and asked U be might Know the name of the person to whom he wan Indebted. The roy al cyclist replied modestly: "I am the Duke of York. And may I ask whom I have the pleasure of address ing?" A broad, amused smll-i beam ed from the farmer's face as he said: "Me! Me! Why, I'm your uncle, the Csar of Russia! ' A Most Useful Event. The way in whirb tha first auto matic steam engine was produced was undoubtedly this and )t shows how comparatively easily a really great Invention may so uie times be made. It waa the duty ot Humphrey Potter, a boy, to turn a stop-cock to let tbe steam Into tbe cylinder and one to let In water to condense It at certain periods of each stroke of the engine, and If this were not done at the right time, the engine would stop. He noticed that these move ments ot the stopcock handles took place in unison with the movements of certain portions of tbe beam of tbe engine. He simply connected valve handles with the proper por tions of the beam by strings, and tbe engine became automatic a most eventful result. No Hope. Miss Irene Gilllcuddy jjf Mlllvllle, Miss., writes: ' I have a gentleman friend who bas . een keeping com pany with me all this year, but who has never Indicated or Intimated tbat be wishes to be considered other than a friend of mine. I am 19 years old, with ruby lip, rose-pink cheeks, golden hair, azure eyes and 1 gentle disposition.

I 7 T" T1TE WOMAN OF FIFTY NEW LIFE AWAITS HER AFTER CHILDREN ARE GROWN. She May Have Any of a Dozen Tal ents la Other L'nes Bnt Neither 8lie Nor the World Be Better. By Charlotte Perkins Oilman. The woman of fifty, whose chil dren have all grown up and left her. Is likely to think that her work Is over and her life done, but her life Is, on tbe contrary, Just beginning. She Is not so taken up with being a woman now, and can realize at last her Individual character. Here tofore her personality has been sub merged in the great common experi ence of love, marriage and matern ity. She may have had any one ot a dozen talents In other lines, but neither she nor the world Is the bet ter for It. She may have preferred other occupations; she may have particularly disliked this one; but neither capacity, preference nor dis taste made any difference. A wife and mother, she must also be a nurse and housekeeper for better or worse. One wonders sometimes, noting tbe wide difference In housekeeping and In child culture, whether that "better or worse" clause was not put In on account of them. If It Is "better," the family Is more com fortable; If It Is "worse," the family Is more uncomfortable; but, which ever it .a, the woman must spend all her young years at It, and person ality slumbers. Is there any left when one la fifty? Is not the re mainder a mere shell a husk or a remnant of what was once a woman, all her womanhood accomplished? That's wbat we have always thought. We have peacefully taken It for granted that she who had so patient ly obllberated herself In the Inter ests of her family should stay oblit erated on general principles for all the rest of her life. There Is no reason why the wo man of fifty should stay obliterated. She has ten, twenty, thirty years still to live, and In ten years of well directed effort, free from the blun ders and backsteps of youth, what may she not do? "Once disentan gled from the clinging mounds of domestic habit, she finds, to her In tense surprise, a fountain of youth springing up within her. She can em. ploy the green earth as much as she ever did; more, If her soul has grow ever did; more, If her soul bas grown. She can take up some trade or busl. ness If she wants money something perhaps, along1 the line that has previously occupied her. She ean travel If she can afford It, study If she has time and wishes to go In for some kind of public work, If that appeals to ber, or she may sim ply "loaf" for a while and "invite her soul." And what of the family? Is nothing to be lost by the eman cipation of a budding grandmother? Will John at sixty-five object to these new courses? There will be ao difficulty about any of these things. To say the truth, 'tyrant, nan Is not half so black as he la painted. Neither la he aa raptur ously content with tbe average wife and mother as the poets and some novelists would have us believe. There Is room for a cheerful hope that the man of fifty-five will spend the rest of his days quite as com fortably with the active, happy, use ful, growing woman that Is in watch ing the gradual decadence and es tlactlon of the woman who was. SOME PUDDING RECIPES. Puddings have become so varied in style, taste and composition until now It Is difficult to tell Just what tbe nam pudding signifies unless the kind of pudding la specified. Here are a few of the many popular pud ding recipes, oi and new. Light Pudding Scald four cup ful of milk.

The chemloal properties nourish the life and keep the flowers bright. Take the bouquet out of the suds every morning, and place the Items In fresh water for a few min utes;, then after sprinkling the flow ers again with clear water, replace the boquet In the suds. The flowers will keep as fresh as when flrst gath ered, especlaly when tbe suds are changed every third day. By this method I hsve kept flower fresh, fragrant and beautiful for over a week.
