ordinary sprains of the elbow or shoulder.
In these there is nothing distinctive or pecu-
liar.
Besides 'tennis arms" we have ''tennis
leg For example; A player while serving
a ball with powerful cut-down stroke sud-
denly felt sharp pain in the calf of His leg
and the leg Immediately became powerless.
A few days later large black-and blue spots
appeared on the calf. This patient had "A
"tennis leg" The trouble was caused by Il
rupture of some of the calf muscles. The
English writers assume tho affected muscle
to be the small and rudmeutary plantaris
longus. Certainly there is more involved
than this in many cases.
The treatment for all the foregoing patho-
logical products of athletic activity is, in
the main, rest, massage, and elastic com
preston, Sometimes the use of elastic
bandages, such as Martins, enables on, to
use the injured arm very soon. At other
times the trouble is more obstinate, and the
arm has to be given almost complete rest
! for long time. When the nerve is injured,
| electricity is useful. A bad tennis leg may
require starch bandage and a high-heelcd
shoe for time.
In conclusion, we would say that tcunis
players need not feel alarmed by tlis de-
scription of the possible accidents in the
game. The proportion of tennis arms and
tennis legs is extremely small. 1t may even
be questioned if young and perfectly health
persons can rupture their muscles in using
tennis racket. Certainly such thing is
of rare occurrence But non-athletes who
take up tennis after Thirty should be lit
tie careful.

HEALTH HINTS.
The Pathology of fLawn-Tennis.


For two or three years English medical
journals have had now and then, letters a.
bout 'tlawn-tenuis arm" 'lawn-tennis ell
bow and ''lawn-tennis leg" Any physi-
clan who meets many lawn-tennis players is
quite sure to find some who complain of
trouble with the wrist, or forearm, or elbow
These troubles are rather more apt to occur
among the beginners, since they are due to
the very sudden and often unnecessarily vio-
lent muscular contTactious which the too
ambitious player makes. They are also
rather mole frequent among elderly persons
Hence we hear more Of them in England,
where persons of every age play tennis.
The 'lawn-tenuis a:m," so,called, appears
to be generally due to a rupture OF the pro-
nator radi teres. This is slender muscle,
and the sudden call upon it in using the
racket sometimes does it an injury. After
long practice, however, the pronating power
of the muscle is very much increased and
the danger of injury is less. When an acci-
dent to it occnrs the victim feels pain on
fiexing or pronating the forearm: there is
coloration along its course. Doubtless the
muscle is not ruptured entirely, but only as
to some of its fibres, while concidently
there is good deal OF stretching and per-
haps tearing of the fibrous and ligalnentous
tissues on the inner side of the elbow, near
where tine muscle arises.
Another form of "lawn-teunis arm''ap-
pears to be due to an injury to the musculo-
spiral nerve or its posterior interosseous
branch. This nerve winds around the out
er side of the humerus beneath the triceps
muscle and descendS between the long supi-
nator of the wrist and the brachialis anticus.
In other ords it passes close TO, and sup
plies, two muscles that are brought into
powerful action in back handed strokes
When these strokes are made too suddenly
and violently by unseasoned muscles the
eontractions appear either to injure the ex-
tensors aud supinators of the arm, tearing
some Of their flbres, or perhaps the nerve it,
self is injured by the violent squeez ng
which it gets. At any rate there is a ouie-
tus put upon back-hand strokes for time.
We have seen tennis players who suffered
from weakness of the wrist. The violent
licking of the fingers and wrist has in these
cases stretched or torn some fibres of the an,
terror annular ligament, which holds the
| tiexor tendonS down. Sometimes a slipht
teno-synovitisl seems to be Sc. up. A firm
rub Der -IIIa ,Slw5 help in these cases.

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

No enterprise that has been started in
Wilmington Tor many years has so entirely
gained the well-wishes of the citizens as the
new Academy of Music Oh Delaware Avenue.
As projected enterprise it has now been
before the people of Wilmington sufficient
ly long time to afford fairly representative
expression of opinion.
The people of this city seem thoroughly
in favor of the new undertaking, and, if the
expressions of warm endorsement extended
not alone by professional people, musicians,
and amateurs, but the general public, mean
anything, the projectors of the enterprise
have good reason for self-gratification.
The new project is a direct appeal to the
lovers of high class and pure drama and
opera. From what little has been revealed
as to the intentions of the directors of the
enterprise the amusement-seeking people of
this city will be presented with nothing but
first class performances. What could be
more attractive than tn delightful renditions
given by such players as the Boston Ideals!
There have been other performances too, in
Wilmington, equally meritorious.
Wilmington judging from the immense
number of music pupils, and the amount of
money expended in musical merchandise
here, is one of the most music loving cities
in the Union. Good musical representatives
will attract when the drama itself, no mat
ter how excellent, fails to draw.
Those who are at the head of the new pro.
ject are enterpising young men who will ca.
ter independently to the best amusement in.
terest of Wilmngtonians The new struct.
nre has very fiue location, upon the main
avenue of the city and in the centre Of it,

Johns Island, lying further to the north.
The Berkeley Gazette says: "On Friday
night, about 9 O'Clock, a tornado swept
over the village of Legareville, entirely
destroying three houses and injurlng a
fourth. The width of the tornado is es-
timated at 25O yards and the duration 10
seconds. MIR. Thomas Whaley's house
was blown from its foundations; the
house of the late Paul I. Geryais and the
small wooden house belonging TO John

ground. Fenwick's wife and four children
were abed at the time, but escaped from
the debris without a scratch. Inc piazza

A MARYLAND ROMANCE.
A Young Couple Long Separated Re
united and Happy.

CRIsFIELD, Md, Feb. 13.-Crisfeld has
a genuine romance, with pretty girl for
heroine. She is the daughter OF Capt.
Jacob Cullen, respected citizen of this
place. Miss Annie is about 20 years OF
age. She has a lovely face, and rounded,
graceful figure. She has had a number of
admirers ever since she left school. The
most devoted gentleman who waited upon
her was Charles W. SOuder, of Della ware.
Mr.. SOuder is jeweler, and is we'll known
in many of the towns on the Eastern
shore, where he has sold goods. In May,
1881, he took Miss Annie out riding, and
they were married. When they returned
she alighted from the carriage at her
fathers residence, and he put up at Vena-
ble's Hotel. 1t was thought they would
take the steamer next day for Balti-
more, but instead of meeting her husband
Miss Anne sent him a note saying she
did not love him. To the surprise of
everybody Mr.. SOuder went away alone.
Then it was reported that Capt. Cullen
was opposed to the marriage, and that
Miss Annie had said she had been forced
to n AIRY Mr.. SOuder against her wish by
threats and intimidatiOns. 1t was even
said that Mr.. SOuder had threatened to
kill her and himself too if she refused.
When Mr.. SOuder heard these reports he
denied them and declared that she had mar
ried him Of her own free will. The min
lister who performed the ceremony said
be never saw a happier couple than they
appeared to be when standing in front Of
him. The news of the strange separation
of the young couple soon spread over the
county. AS the years passed by
and the young couple still re-
manned apart from each other,
the people began to forget about
it, when the circumstances were recalled
by efforts on the part of Miss Annie to OBJ
tain a divorce. Mr.. Thomas S. Hodson
was counsel for Miss Annie, and Col.
Henry Page for Mr.. SOuder. Matters
stood thus until about two weeks ago,
when Mr.. Souder came to Cristield and
went to Miss Annie's home and told her
that he still loved her, but that if she was
disposed to insist on the continuance of
the separation he would no longer inter-
pose any obstacle to her wishes. His pa
thence and devotion touched her heart,
and she concluded that she did love him
after all. A reconciliation was the result.
They spent last night at the residence of a
friend, and this morning took the early
train, as happy as birds in spring time.
Capt. Cullen is up the Potomac some
where dredging for oysters. When he re-
turns and finds out about the second
| elopement his friends hope he will send
the young couple his blessing. MIR. Sou
der and wife went to Frederick, Del,
where Mr.. SOuder has a pleasant home.
