How to Cure a sprained Ankle.

During the past season, when the side
walks were occasionally covered with
ice, one was apt to slip and the result
too frequently was a spralned ankle.
Just what TO do with an injury of this
kind has frequently bothered the best
physicians and surgeons. That numer-
GUS individual, John Smith, comes for
ward and SAYS that such an injury is
only trivial and that the victim can be
on his feet again in "a hours, with the
ankle free from pain, strain or swelling.
This person was baptized John Smith,
but is called "Happy Jack" He is a
trainer of athletes and has piloted many
pedestrians TO victory in the walking
matches at Madison Square Garden dur
ing the last few years Pedestrians vie

A Physicians Warning.

''Got a cold. have you :" began con-
versation between well-known uptown
physician and a patient day or two
ago. ''Well, You are in the fashion. At
least eighty-five per cent. of all my pa
dents have colds, and they viii have
the pneumonia as as sort of wind-up if
they are not more careful when this
warm weather ceases, which it will with
an almighty snap within few days.
The cause of the colds is that the system
which is far more sensitive than a film
of gelatine to the action of heat and
cold, has become accustomed to this
springlike weather, and the longer it
lasts the more accustomed it becomes.
The system appreciates the fact that all
this is unreasonable and trusts in a man
or woman's good sense to protect it.
s.But they don't do it. just as soon
as it gets warm they abandon their win
ter wraps, and the air, which IS still
hlled with frost, although not manifest
because Of the directness of the sun,
gets in the crevices Of the winter armor,
and the first thing my patient knows he
has to hold on to his hat to keep from
sneezing it off. The pores have opened
to secure some of these Elusive advanta-
ges of warm weather, and just as soon as
soon as genuine cold snap comes the
deaths from pneumonia will be greater
in number than they have ever before
been in this city. '-Nep York Times.

How a Pawnbroker Came Out.

81 would like 10 see some diamond
rings, said a foppish young man with
dainty manner of speech, entering
three ball emporium on Halsted street,
near Taylor.
'.You would. eh!' said Mark, the pro-
prietor, to himself, us he travelled along
the counter toward the threatening-to-
be customer; ssbut bet me dot felleh

genial manner, "Anyding you want sir,
You shall hat. "
The young man quickly chose a ring
with a 3-earat single stone of prime
light, and requested that it be kept
apart for him, as he had no money at
that moment Marx cleared away the
rings, when the young man, suddenly
leaning over the counter, indicated a
spot upon the shelf where the chosen
ring should be left until his return. In
the movement his elbow went through
the glass top Of the showcase.
Upon my word, cried he, ''that was
a most awkward trick, and do not
know what to say. You may add the
damage to the price of the ring.

"Why, sir, am out of funds, was
the distressful protest.
"You Will egscuse me if / correct

bending over the case, he seized the
protruding end of $40 bill and plucked
It from the young mans vest pocket
The purchaser was covered with con-
fusion, and averred that he knew not
that he had the money. He was ready,
however to have the cost of the glass de

The Beautiful Midnight Sun.

To MS who have never seen il, there is
n feeling OF suhdued awe in thinking
about the sun that never sets, away up
in the frozen regions of the north.
What it is in reality may be inferred
from the following beautiful description
Of the midnight sun, taken from that in

Of sea little to your right hand, behind
YOU will be the rugged coast, and to
your left the long, narrow ford between
the islands and the main land that the
steamer has Just traversed. You watch
the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the Is
lands and the coasts look like a dark
rich purple, and the shadows cast by
the ships masts grow longer and longer.
After a bit. when the sun has sunk
apparently twelve feet from the horizon,
it stops and seems 10 remain stationary
for about twenty minutes; then the very
seagulls hide away. while the air all of
sudden strikes chilly Each one has an
awed expeetant feeling. Soon the sun
rises very slowly again, and the yellow
clouds change with its uprising to even
greater beauty. first TO the palest prim-
rose and then to blush pink. The
sky, which was Just now rose-color, be-
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rock stands

Herbert Smith, of Bridgeport, has .
quail that flew In through his window
about a year ago, and which he has
tanned so successfully that it eats from

TO MAKE FINE LAWNS.
How the City Can Have Fine Grass
Plats in the Squares.

| HlatS IN the squares.
The city is taking better care of the
squares than it did in former years. The
removal of the ratings around Johnson
| square and Telfair place, which itself has
greatly improved their appearance, and the
attention which has been given TO the
lawns show what a little effort will do
toward, making the city attractive. The
| improvements about TO be made on Madison
square will add greatly to the appearance
of that locality
A gentleman who has had experience in
the care of lawns said day or two ago that
in cutting the grass in the squares it must
not be cut too close The lawn mower, ne
said, should be laid entirely aside in early
spring and in autumn, to allow the roots of
the grass to become well established. There
is proper medium TO be observed he ox-
planned, to avoid the extreme on both sides.
Grass may be allowed to grow too
tall, so that when cut short, the yellow
leaves and STALKS viii show that they
have been too much shaded. If allowed to
grow high enough for seed, the ripening
will exhaust the roots. On the other hand,
cutting too short and depriving the plants
of their leaves will check and dwarf them.
This check may be increased by cutting
them still shorter. and when all the leaves
are cut away down to the surface Of the
ground it would result in killing the plants,
in the same way that Canada thistles. quack
grass, and other perennial roots are killed
by starving the growth.
Between these two extremes, the medium,
which should be observed, Is to cut fire.
quently, but not so short as to deprive the
grass plants of their leaves and vigor. Tall
stalks and seeds should be prevented on one
hand, and close shaving avoided on the
other. On a very smooth surface, the
lawn mower may be set to cut within an
inch of the ground, but a healthy green
carpet could not exist under such heavy
treatment. As a general rule, the grass
should never be sheared nearer than two
inches of the ground. Many lawns are cut
much shorter. 1t may be we'll to allow
greater length for new lawns, or for older
ones early in spring; and greater growth
should be permitted after the middle of
