SECRET OfflEBS UNIFORMED MEN Would Readilv Go to the Front at the Call of Their Country. MANY WELL DRiLLED MEN Would be Found Ready for the Ser vice in the Event of a Call to Arms. War talk has been found everywhere to day and interest in the outcome of the next few days is at fever heat. The people now realize that nothing short of a mir acle can prevent war. The soldiers are waiting for orders to go to the front and those who have here tofore said that was was not probable, have now turned the other way and say that it is inevitable. Ex-Congressman Blount, w’ho has al ways been considered one of the most con servative of men, but whose opinion is worth much on account of his experience, is quoted as saying that in his opinion war cannot be avoided. It is almost o foregone conclusion that the volunteer forces of the state will be called out and that at an early date. Speaking of the raising of troops in this country, a prominent member of a secret ordar said today: “The uniformed orders of secret socie ties will be of untold advantage in case of war. “Thousands of men, well drilled in foot movements, could be put Into the field at a moment’s notice. These could learn the manual of arms in a short time and be first-class soldiers. “The Uniformed Rank of Knights of Pythias will volunteer immediately after the militia, or on the second call. “I shall volunteer as soon as the call is made. We will not go as members of the order, but as individuals, but will, of course, keep together as much as possi ble. “The great advantage this country would have over even Germany is in the intelli gence of her soldiers. They would learn quicker, and experience has shown that the more intelligent the man the braver soldier he makes.” J SPRAINS. Why They Arc So Severe and How They Should Bo Treated. It is commonly said that a sprained joint is worse than a broken bone, and this is often true, for in a severe sprain the injury is really greater than in simple fracture. The ankle is perhaps the most frequently sprained of all the joints, though the knee, elbow and wrist are also very liable to be injured, in falls especially. A sprain of a joint varies greatly in severity. It may consist of a simple wrench, without the tearing of any oi the ligaments, or it may boa more ex tensive injury, stopping just short of a dislocation. In a moderately severe case one or more of the ligaments ot the joint, will be torn slightly, or possibly completely across. The membrane beneath the lig aments, which retains the lubricating fluid ot the joint, will be ruptured, per mitting the escape of more or less of this fluid into the parts about, and giv ing rise sometimes to a considerable swelling. This swelling maybe increas ed also by an effusion of fluid into the joint, especially if iniainimation sits in, and finally there is usually a slight or even sometimes a quite pronounced es . cape of blood into the tissues, and this, gradually working to the suriace, ap pears as a black and blue stain. In more severe eases the tendons pass ing over the joint and attaching the muscles which move it to the bones may suffer considerable damage, or one of them may be broken or torn from its at tachment. bringing with it a sliver of bone. Where so much harm has bten done to all the parts —bones, ligaments, tendons ami muscles —it is easy to un derstand that much pain will result and that the cure will ba tedious. In the treatment of a sprain the first thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain and prevent inflammation, then to favor healing of the torn structures, and after that to restore the use of the limb. The first of these objects is accom plished by absolute rest of the injured part, the limb being raised, and by lead ind opium wash, a spirit lotion, or such other local applications as the physician may prescribe. Swelling is prevented iu i measure and pain is sometimes re lieved by firm bandaging with a flan nel bandage. When the swelling, heat and pain ore gone, the limb should not be used ■oo soon, but should be brought gradu ally back to health by cold douching, iry rubbing in a direction toward the x)dy and passive motion. It is some times necessary in very severe cases to :reat the sprain by means of splints, ex actly as if it were a fracture or disloca tion.—Youth’s Companion. MUZZLED DUCKS. Wot Because They Might Bite, but to Si lence Their Quacking. A baggage man on the Santa Fe who runs into Kansas City from out in the western part of Kansas has lost lots of Bleep. It is doubtful if he can ever catch up with it. He leaves Hutchinson at night and reaches Kansas City in the morning. Nearly every night he brings in his car two or three coops of live do- Vmestio ducks. During the night, when he has no baggage to deliver at small ftationSt it has been his habit and privi- lege to he down on an improvised couch and doze. With the advent of the ducks the dozing stopped. The almost constant quacking of the ducks, who could not understand their strange environment, ■ would not permit of slot p. For many nights as be lay awake be i planned relief. He thought oi strangling i the ducks or chloroforming them. But neither expedient seemed good. One nigut a bright idea came to him. After he bad rot it into execution the ducks were silent. The next night he had two coops of unusually vociferous ducks. As scon as it came time for sleep be wrenched a slat from olio of the coops, reached in and pulled or.t a duck. From his pocket he took a smull rubber band, which he slipped over the duck’s Lili just back ot i the nostrils. The duck tried to quack, but the rubber band, while it stretched a little, would not permit the duck to ’ open its Lili far enough to use its tongue. Only a murmur came from it. One by cue the ducks wore muzzled, and the baggage man levied comforta bly. The commission men were surprised next mcrnii.g when tlmy received a lot ! of ducks with rubber bauds around their bills, and when the bunds were re , moved the shouts of protest from the ducks were deafening.—Kansas City Star. The Origi.ial Navel Orange Tree. Over in the orangery atthp agricultural department is the p trvi t tree of ail the na'.cl oranges in the Coiled States. Every orchard ci navel oranges in Florida, Lou isiana. Colorado, Arizona and California came from it. And tfce shipments of this kind of fruit from California alone have reached 10,000 carloads a year. This par ticular tree, which is still bearing, camo from Bahia, Brazil, but is st. id to he a native of southern China. William Saun ders, the horticulturist of the department, having heard that they bail a seedless orange in Brazil, sent down for a plant. When it came it was carefully nurtured and grew with surprising vigor. The sec ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his way to the agricultural department one morning he picked up in the gutter back of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed oranges. Be carried them to his room, extracted the seeds and planted them in the hothouse. They produced a bunch of thrifty little plants, upon which he graft ed buds from tl.e Brazilian tree and after ward sent them to friends in California and Florida who were engaged in the orange business. Mr. Saunders thinks that the quality of the navel orange is de teriorating and that there are better grades of fruit.—Chicago Record. Connecticut Newspapers. Ono Connecticut newspaper man has a way of speaking the names of papers in an abbreviated style—the Meriden Rep and the Middletown Trib, for instance. Fol lowed out, this would lead to some amus ing abbreviations. There would be the Norwich Bull and the Norwich Wreck, the New’ Haven Pal, the Waterbury Am, the New Haven Jeer and Cco, the New Britain Her, the Bridgeport Tell, the Hartford Coor and the Ansonia Scent.
