JOHN FOWLER, IN HOME AND COUNTRY
A rover am of well-known stamp,
In fact l am simply typical tramp;

Yet none is more merry than |.
NV life is a drama of varying scenes,
To phases both comic and tragic it leans,
AS rule it is governed according to

Yet none is more merry than /.
Atnight when the householder, sleek and
well fed,
Retires for his rest to his soft, snowy bed,
The ground is my couch; with stone for

With first streak of dawn am up with
the lark.

Yet none is more merry than l.

Deem it prudent my freedom to somewhat

patiently wait for the tardy release

And Iquietly drop for my final repose,
In ditch shall lie, with my dirge sung

are more or less liable in competi-
tions or in training 10 suffer from
over exertion, producing severe
sprains OF the cords and sinews. I'M
less properly attended to at once,
these injuries often cause weeks and
months OF pain and suffering, and
sometimes result in permanent in
Jury. People generally do not know
that the simplest treatment in these
cases is the best. | recently talked
with Professor Attila, the strong man,
now located in this city, and he told
me Of his personal experience with
sprains during his professional caree-,
extending over n period of twenty
years.
Without doubt the professor is one
OF the real bona hde strong men of
the world. He Isl veritable Hercules
in strength, and has record of pub
lie performances second to none. lie
it was who brought out Sandow, and
to the latter was due an accident
which gave Attila the knowledge of
the proper treatment of strains of the
iibrcs Of the biceps.
The accident in question happened
in Europe, while Attila and Sandow
were performing together. 1t re-
suited in the breaking Of a number
Of cords OF the biccps and the severe
straining Of others, causing the entire
arm to turn black, and producing
great pain. There was no outward
wound, and the eminent physicians
and surgeons Of the Continent were
puzzled over the proper course Of
treatment to pursue.
Finally Attila left the professors in
despair, and, at his own suggestion,
the injured part was wound about
with n firm, soft cloth. The first day
after the cloth was put on he was
able to lift with the injured arm n
two-pound dumbell. The second day
he raised three pound weight. He
kept increasing the weight daily un-
til he could raise the fifty pound
bell. Then he knew he had mastered
the injury. In comparatively short
time the wound had healed, and At
tila, strange to say, was stronger
than ever in this arm.
In cases Of strains Of cords in the
wrist Attila says the injured part
should be tightly bandaged and twice
day held under n faucet, allowing
cold water TO fall on it from height
of two or three feet. This produces
natural steaming, very beneficial.
In short time an improvement is
noticed under this course Of treat
ment.
Where the tissues OF the muscles
OF the leg are strained the only treat
ment necessary is very simple.
Bandage the injured part tightly and
exercise il daily, n little at first. if
allowed II remain inactive the injury
grows worse in all cases, The strain
ipg of the muscles of the back is best
treated by applications of liniment
and judicious use of electric treat
ment. - New York Herald.

Rapid Growth OF Redwood Trees.

We have evidence in California
that Redwood trees cut down sixty
years ago have made sprouts which
are new trees from three TO five feet
in diameter, and from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty feet high.
1t is the rapid growth of some of
these trees which leads people to
doubt their great age, but there
seems TO be no reason for doubling
that the method Of calculating by an
nual rings Of wood is sound, and that
the great age imputed to some OF
these trees has solid ground work to
build on Meehan's Monthly.

Life has its sweet pleasures and it's
bitter griefs, to day we enjoy the
company of our friends, tomorrow
we weep because that friend has left
us Yesterday our hearts beat in
unity of thanks to God for the gift
of Mrs. Fannie Bulls friendship and
love, to day, He who gave, has taken
away. and we are left to learn the
hard bitter lesson of bending to our
Fathers will. How well, we bereaved
friends. can testify TO the beautiful
character and intrinsic worth that
made her the life and joy of the
stricken family she has left behind
Ter. In her friendship we lUund
sweet pleasure, in her love they found
life, and it seems to me that the very
at the desolation made by her death.
God of mercy be with them in this
hour of darkness.
Fannie, you were one of Gods
queens on earth and we will try to
follow your example that we may
join you in the home you have gone
to adorn. Dear departed friend,
your smiles gladdened our hearts,
your kindness lightened the burdens
of our lives, but we will try to find
some consolation in the thought
that you are happy with the Jesus
whom you loved and served so well.
We can pay you no tribute equal to
You worth, but memory of you will
linger with us as vase in which
roses have once been DISTILLED You
may break, you may shatter the vase,
but the scent of the roses will linger
there still.

our minutes are clearer and the work
is better.
