TREATMENT OFJOSCLE STRAIN.
Paine Often Mistaken for Rhenma.
tliira, Feet the Cure.
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

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

DOUBTFUL POWDER.

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."

An Air with Real Air.
During one of the political tours
of Mr. Cleveland. 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,

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.

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. Add two-thlros of a
cupful of augar and six level table
spoonsful of corn starcu, made
smooth In a little cold milk. Cook
ten minutes, and add lb yolka of
three eggs beaten well Butter a
pudding dish, - oredge with . sugar,
turn In the pudding and cover with
meringue made of the white of
four egga beaten stiff and one-half
of a cupful o ' powdered sugar. ' Set
In the oven to brown. Cool before
serving.
A Bint for Flower-Lover.
Xo preserve a boquet of flowers
sprinkle (t ligbtly wltb fresh water,
then place It n a vase containing
aoap-auda. 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. Try It and you will be de
lighted. Ealing Ifetweea Meals.
This, tor chlMren, Is a sure way
of acquiring dyspepsia. Wholesome
meals, at regular hours, obviate the
need of anything at other times.

bricklayers busily working. "I say,
Pat, kin ye till me what kapes

"Sure, it' tbe mortar, Mike," was
the answer. "That's where you're
