A.NI» HOW TO MEET THEM

“Speaking of accidents,” said Dr.
Curtis “•prims arc often tho most seri

should do so; but a hundred broken legs

fects, to one sprain that may bother the
patient all his life.
“ ‘Nothing but a sprain!’ you say.

days. Maybe you put hot or cold water
on it, or a little amirn. The sprain gels

some of which may be badly torn, A rid
sometimes even with the best surgical
eyre a joint remains stiff and weak, be¬
cause the torn ligaments or tendons r.re
not perfectly repaired, or chronic itl/iam
rantion sets in. .
“When you Consider Hint from the
tips of the fingers to the wrist, ami from
the end of the toes to the leg, there are
not less than thirty separate bones, tied
together with straps, cords and elastic
bands, and about twenty hinges, von w,ll
BCO why a sprain is so easy and at the
same time so serious.
*‘I)o not treat a sprain as a small mat¬
ter.
“Give it immediate and careful atten¬
tion. If it bo your foot or ankle that
gets the wrenching it is more than likely
the pain will compel you to sit or lie
down. Raise you* foot high enough to
be comfortable ami rest it on a pillow,
then put on hot water cloths. If you
have arnica put about one part of arnica
to seven parts of water. But if* you
haven’t the arnica the hot water is about
as good.
“I believe also,” said Dr. Curtis, “in
an equable compression of the sprained
joint by bandages. Tear up an old
sheet into 2j-incb strips; sew them
firmly together. Begin below the toes
and bind it around smoothly. Have
plenty of bandage, so'that it can bo two
or three layers thick. Wind it around
evenly until thc sprain is inclosed.
“Then you may wet the bandage with
hot water and arnica, or laudanum and
water if it is very painful, or alcohol
aud water. Any owe of them arc good.
A complete rest for thc leg for some time
is very necessary for a thorough cure.
“If in too ardent a devotion to base¬
ball tho boy in thc family sprains his
wrist, treat iu thesnmewayas the ankle.
Begin to bandage at tho fingers, and un
til all pain is gone use tho hot water ap¬
plications. Put his baseball hand in a
sling, and until thoroughly well let some
one else take his place in thc picked
nine.
Dr. Blake says that you can easily tell
when a bone is broken by the person not
being ablo to raise the limb aud by its
bending when it ought not and by the
pain. The first thing to do is to got a
splint. Various things can be used for
splints—a shingle, a stiff piece of paste¬
board, still straw' or reeds bound to¬
gether, or a stiff hat with tho crown
knocked out and tho body of thc hat
split up. Any one of these can bc used.
But, interposes Dr. Blake, bo sure you
put lmy, something soft on the splint—grass,
soft hair, or wool, cotton batting—
anything of a soft material.

Veneration , ■ for f the
material that cannot
be explained on the theory of its beauty
alone or on that of its toughness. It is
pr ( > ).i i e ia l s coma meted men at
first, but it . is also plain that early man
saw m jades something specially good,
Or lie would not have taken so much
trouble to find and to carve it. As al
''v.'irs lie reasoned by analogy from the
mineral to something else.
Jade, undoubtedly shared with certain
other minerals, certain roots, certain ani¬
mals, the reverence that was accorded to
night, the earth, and the under world.
It belonged to the country whither the
sun retires at dusk, to which it returns
at dawn. The jade color is seen in the
sky just above the set sun and just her
fore sunrise. It also recalls the se’ason
when shrubs and grass renew their color
and make the earth green. It holds the
color of vegetation and of the deep sea
Avater. These are its cosmical or celes¬
tial analogies. Connected in the mind of
primitive men with spirits that may be
good or bad, as they choose, it became
a favorite for talismans and amulets such
ns are found in the old graves of North
America, carved of shell or a jadelike
mineral, either for wearing on the breast
or for piercing the cartilage of the nose,
or thc lower lip, or the lobe of the ear.
Amulets of Amazonstone, a kind of jade,
have been found in Egypt.
But jade was also very early associated
with the inner person. Very early, in
China at any rate, the idea existed that
M cup made of jade gave health to him
who drank from it, and, naturally,
would counteract poison. Indeed, the
faintest drop of poison was supposed to
cause the liquid in which it lay hidden to

A Clefer Counter Crick.
A clever hotel counter trick was playci
at the Continental the other evening by
a friend of Mr. Kingsley. The gentle
man took ten silrer quarters and lard
outcarefullv on the marble counter,
'
0 nc of the clerks selected one at his bid
ding, looked at it carefully so as to bt
able to distinguish it from the rest and
held it whiIe thc gontlemau shook uf> I
the qua rters in his hat. Then the quar
ter was thrown into the hat and shaken
up with the rest. The gentleman then j
laid them out on the counter, carefully j
placing them one by one, so as to form a
triangle. Then he moved them mys- |
tcriously into the form of a square and
then into the forra of R C;0 S 9 .
.< Now ihe fig lircs teU mc » said the
performer, “that the quarter you relectcd
is the last one in the right arm of the
cross.
« Yes, that's it,” said the clerk in
amazement.
lie was tried many times and found
f a u lb i e every time. The secret wrts that
the quarters lying on the cold maible
were a p especially cold as compared with
thc one hc i d for a moment in the hand

The trick i 8 fi rst said to have been played
hy the magician Herrmann. Like othei
tricks,it is as old as the hills, for in tricks,
as jg every thing else, nothing is new
under tho sun. It has been played with
ponies in ptivate' parlors for years to
please and mystify yoUilg folks. Its re
appearance in a new fo»m at tho hotel
counter, where it can be well played with
uo preparation over the cold counter,
will now begin to amuse travelers from
oue end of the country to the other.

The dollars are so stamped that mor<
weight lies on thc head side than the

A Little Blockade Runner.
Colonel Herbert, the Alabama* Con
gressman, was in command of a Con
federate regiment intrenched on tin
Rappahannock in 1863. The FederaU
were intrenched on the opposite bank ol
the ritfer. In conversation with a New
Jersey Congressman, as reported in the
New York Sun. Colonel Herbert said
that one day he was riding along the
picket lines -when he heard a Y*ankee
shout from the.other side of the river:
“Ho, Johnny! Have you any goodhorse3
over there?”
“Yes, heaps of them,” was the reply.
“Well, send one over and we’ll beat
you running,” the Y r ankee shouted.
“Not much,” was the answer. “Yon
always beat us running. \ T ou have had
more experience than we’ve had. ”
A week or so afterward the Colonel
was again riding along the picket line.
He saw in the river a little boat, a fool
or more long, exquisitely moulded. 11
had no sail, but bore a tiny mast from
which a little Confederate flag floated.
It came across the river slowly and
reached the exact point occupied by g
Confederate picket.
“What is that?” the Colonel asked as
tho picket-lifted thc boat from the
water.
The soldier somewhat .hesitatingly
passed it to the Colonel. Upon the flag
was the word “Dixie.” Within the
boat was a little package of sugar and
«>»«• -* h * »*•
; “Please exchange tobacco for these.”
, The boat had little rudder canted to
a
the right. The tiller was lashed to the
Runwale with twine. With thisarrarfge
raent the current of the rive r held the
littlc craft stead 7» ke Pt her upon hei
course, and carried her direct to her point
i'f destination.

about the boat The Confederate picket
was dumb But the Colonel readily
understood where it came from. Some
