Treatment OF Spriins or Strains Of the
Joints.

Sprains or strains OF the joints are
very painful, and more tedious of re-
covery than broken bone. What we
call flesh is muscle; every muscle ia
pers down to kind of string. whi.h
we call cord or sinew. The muscle is
above the joint. and the sinewy part is
below il, or cjcc cersd. and the action is
much ike that OF a string overa pulley.
When the ankle, for example, is
''sprained, the cord. tendon or liga-
ment (all mean the same thing) is torn
in part or whole, either in its body or
from its attachment to the bone. and
Inflammation is, rush OF blood
TO the spot-takes place As instantly as
in case of a cut OH the finger. Why?
For TWO reasons. Some blood-veSsels
are ruptured, and very naturally pour
out their contents; and second. by an
infallible ply Biological law. an addi-
tional supply of blood is sent to the
part, 10 repair the damages, to. glue,

so TO speak. But dead blood cannot
repair an injury. Two things. then,
are to be done, to get rid of it. and to
allow the parts to grow together. But
if the finger be cut. it will never heal as
long as the wound is pressed apart ev-
cry half hour, nor will torn tendon

this way that persons with sprained an.
kies are many months in getting well.
In cases of spr.Iin, then, children who
cannot be kept still should be kept in
bed. and so with many grown persons.
The swelling can be got rid of in
several ways; BY a bandage. which in
all cases of sprain should be applied by
askillful physician. otherwise mortifica-
ton and loss of limb NAV result A
bandage thus applied keeps the joint
still. keeps an excess of blood from
coming to the part, and. by its pressure
causes an absorption of extra blood or
other extraneous matter. Another
mode of getting rid of the swelling is
to let cold water run on the injured part
for hours. S Journal of Health.

MAGIC OF A KISS.

Il hav. brought YOUR dinner, father'
The blacksmith daughter said,
AS she took from her arms kettle
And she lifted its shining lid;
"There 3 not any pie or pudding,
soIwill give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore of his apron,
And dined in happy mood
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss
But he never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of a squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay;
And i thought how many a shadow
Off and fate we should mss,
II ALWAYS our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with kiss.
