Broken or Fractured.

is the bone broken or only fractured,
doctor ?" is an anxious question often asked
apropos OF an injured limb. Broken and
fractured are synonymous terms in surgery.
A fully developed bone is rarely cracked :
nearly always it snaps in two pieces-but
the soft cartiaginous bones Of children
sometimes sustain what is called "green-
stick fracture" name which almost ex-
plains itself, meaning that the bone is broken
through part of its thickness, bat not sepa-
rated. as happens with the green bough of a
tree. Many people have totally erroneous
idea, when an arm or leg is badly bruised
only, that it would be better if it were
broken. ''Risnt across the muscle. too y
implies that an injury has been received
across the upper arm in the region of the
biceps, that being the only ''mascle" which
is honored oy general public recognition.
How many people know that what they call
their flesh and the lean part of meat are moth
ing but muscles, the pulleys By which every
action OF the body is performed? Common
mistakes lie in trying TO "wslk off, rheu-
matsm, sprains ana other things which
should be kept entirely at rest, and in
squeezing collections Of matter which have
burst or been lanced with view 10 hasten
their healing BY the more speedy emp,ying
Of their contents.

Why Cowboys Wear Long Hair.

A New York correspondent, writing of
the Buffalo Bill show. says 81 asked the
King of the Cowboys why it was that cow
boys and others who lived on the plains
wore their hair long. 1t seemed to me rath-
er effeminate than otherwise, and, if it were
done for picturesqueness, wondered that
such men as they stopped to consider any
thing of that sort bat be told me tha, it
was for three reasons one, that it was very
hard TO get the hair cut on the plains two,
that it kept their ears from freezing in the
winter and kept them from taking cold, as
it fell around their necks three, that they
would be considered towards by the Indians
if they cut their scalplocks, and it an In
dian once thinks man a coward that man
can never have any influence with him.

How a Mother Cuts the Boys Hair.

You can always tell boy whose mother
cuts his h,ir by the way he stops in the
street and wriggles his shoulders. When a
fond mother has TO cut her boys hair she
draws the front hair over his eyes and leaves
it there while she cuts that which is at the
back The hair which lies over his ewes ap-
pear. to be sarcharged with electric needles
and that which is silently dropping down
under his collar band appears TO be on fire
She has unconscously pushed his head for

the meantime he is seized with an irresisti-
bic desire to blow his nose but he recollects
that his handkerchief is in the other room.
Then fly lights on his nose. and does it so
Unexpectedly that he involuntarily lodges,
and catches the point Of the shears in his
left ear. At this he commences to cry and
wish he was man. But his mother doesn't
notice him. When she is through she holds
his Jacket collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth, blows the short bits of hair
from the top Of his head down his back. He
calls her attention to the fact. but d
