A Sprained Ankle.

A false step, fall or sudden wrench Is very often the cause of that painful straining of the fibrous tissue commonly known as sprain The ankle is, as rule, the victimized member, and many are the tedious hours for which the care less dispenser of orange peel can be held accountable. There are several methods of treating a sprained ankle, one of which is strapping the leg from ankle 70 knee with adhesive plaster. The plaster is cut in strips about an inch in width and of sufficient length to encir- sle the leg to within half an inch, the space being left to insure free circnla- tion. This treatment caff only be applied before the leg begins to. swell, therefore within very short time of the accident.
 Recovery by means of the ordinary treatment that of elevating the foot and having recourse to hot applications, may be greatly accelerated by scientific massage. By proper manipulation the swelling can be reduced and the pain lessened in a very short time. If, how ever, the service of one who thoroughly understands giving the treatment ean- not be obtained, simple rubbing will of ten give relief. The rubbing must al ways be up. not down. and the hands of the operator as well as the wounded limb should be made thoroughly anti septic before any friction is applied, lest the secretions of the skin being rubbed into the pores should be reabsorbed and inflammation increased in the strained tissues--New York Ledger.

Fooled the Foreman.

At one of the iron works in the north of England a good story is told at the expense of one of the foremen at the blast furnaces.
 The men known as the barrow men have 8 certain number of rounds or bar rows of ore to wheel to the furnace dur ing their eight hours of labor. '
 One stormy night the foreman. who was suffering from a severe headache, retired to his cabin; but, being of sus- picious nature, he left the door open that he might hear if anything unusual took place.
 The men had worked steadily on for some time, passing the cabin with each barrow of ore on their way to the lift. At last one man in passing the door re- marked loudly to another, "One more round, Pat, and then"- But the fore man, overhearing the remark and know ing it was a long way of Knocking off" time, rushed to the door, exclaim- ing:
 "And then what, my man?''
 "And then another" coolly replied the barrow man, and the foreman re- tired--Liverpool Mercury.

He Got the Pin.

A good many people still believe in the little superstition about seeing a pin and picking it up. It makes some of them decidedly uncomfortable when they pass a pin by, and even if expe- rience has taught them that there is nothing to be gained by scooping up the pointed bit of wire they still dive for one whenever they see it.
 An aged man was todd1ing across Payne avenue at its junction with Will son some time ago when between the street car rails at the very center of the curve he noticed a pin. It was bright pin, and it caught his rather enfeebled gaze at once. Being a superstitious old gentleman, he determined to secure that pin. With considerable effort he man. aged to bend over, when, just as his trembling fingers closed upon it, with . whoop and a roar a cable car came swinging around the curve at the usual terrifying rate. The old man went one way, his cane and glasses and hat went the other. They rushed to him and picked him up. He was badly bruised, and the ambulance was called. As they were lifting him into it somebody mo- ticed something shining between his clinched fingers
 It was the pin--Cleveland Plain Dealer.
