Some Details of Interest Regarding va
Construction and Use.
The stroller along the wbariS VIA
should see rising from the smokcstal k
of big steamer small and at the start
perfectly defined column of smoke which
seemed to come from small smoke
pipe within the big one might wonder
if the great smokestack was filled With
smaller stacks one for each boiler AS
matter of fact it is not so flied, hut
there is within it smaller smoke pipe
called the donkey stack, whirh is the
chimney for the boiler of the donkey en-
CINE, which is used when the vessel is
in port in hosting cargo il aud out 1t
is from this pipe that the small colamn
of smoke is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed somftimcs
against the forward inner side of the big
stack, sometimes against the after inner
side. 1t may be u complete pipe. or it
may be formed of iron in the shape Of
half u pipe. with flaEges rlveteh to tho
main pipe.
If a single one of the large boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port, it might be connected with
the donkey stack, but i'll their regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into the
great chimney, whose whole interior is
open, except for the braces running
across it to strengthen and support It,
The chimneys of all large 81, Gmships,
however, and of many other steam YES
sells as well are built double, with an
inner and an outer shell, with space
between varying according to the sizo
Of the vessel 1t may lie from fiyo to ten
inches. The primary purpose OF this
chamber around the smo"Cstack is to
afford ventilation for the engine rooGi
and the stokehole. In at least ono mod
ern passenger ship ventilating pipes
from the passenger quarters have been
carried to these chambers Incidentally
the space between the shells helps to
keep the stack slightly, for thus con
structed the chimney is cooler Oh the
outside than it would otherwise lie, and

SPRA,NG.
Why They Are So Severe and How They
Should BE Treated.


1t is commonly said that sprained

this il often true, for IN u sc 'rre sprain

simple fracture. The ankle IL perhaps
the most frequently spiailc:l q al the
Joints, though the knee, elbow and
wrist are also very liable to be injured,
in falls especially
A sprain of joint varies greatly i'll
severity. 1t may consist Of II simple
wrench. without the tearing of any Of
the ligaments. or it may be moro cx
tensiyo injury, stopping just short Of
dislocation.
In moderately severe case one or
moro of the ligaments of the joint will
be torn slightly, or possibly completely
across The membrane b(neath the lig-
aments, which retains the lubricating
fluid of tho joint, will be ruptured, per-
mitting the escape Of more or les Of
this fluid into the parts about, and Civ
ing rise sometimes to Il considerable
swelling. This swelling may be increas-
ed also by an effusion of fluid into the
joint, especially if inflammation sets in,
and finally there is usually IA slight or
even sometimes quite pronounced es-
cape of blood into the tissues, and this,
gradually working to the surface, ap-
pears as black and blue stain.
In moro severe cases the tondons pass
ing over the joint and at Saching the
muscles which move it TO the bones may
suffer considerable damage OF one Of
them may be broken or torn from its at
tachmcnt, bringing with it silver of
bone. Where so much BARN has been
done to all the pnrts-bon ligancnts
tendons and musclos-it is easy to I'M
derstand that much pain will resu.t and
that the cure will be tedious.
IL the treatment of a sprain tie first
thing to be aimed at Is to relieve pain
and prevent inflammation, thea to favor
healing OF the torn structures, and after
that to restore the use of the lirib.
The Erst of these objects is recon-
rlished by absolute rest Of the injured
part, the limb being raised, and by lead
and opium wash, Il spirit lotion or such

He was intent upon his newspaper
when the conductor came along and
stopped in front of him.
The conductor stopped down to get a
better look at his face and sad, "tare,

ped him gently OH the arm.
Ibid get your fare?" asked the con-
ductor al the man with the paper looked
mp.
Now, if there is anything in this
world that has tendency to make Il
man who has paid his fare get angry it
IL to have the agent of the corporation
to whom such fare was paid come along
and ask him if he has paid it. 1t may
be all right, but it always seems as if
there was an inference that some one is
trying to beat tho road. Thus it hap
pened that the man with the paper re-
piled rather sharply:
"You ought to know
"Oh, it's I'LL right, sir!' explained
the conductor hastily. "No intention to
offend, you know. l merely wanted to
make sure"
Then he returned to the platform,
while the man with the paper returned
TO his reading.
A few minutes later the man with
the paper went out on tho platform
himself, and just before reaching his
corner he gently tapped the conductor
ON the arm, even as the conductor had
tapped him.
ibid you ring up my fare?" he asked.
There were immediate indications
that the conductor was getting mad.
He tried to say something, but only
spluttered.
"Oh, it's all right" the man with

THE NEW YORK YOUTH.
Story Of Promising Boy, II Schoolteachor
and an Escaped Dog.

and an Escaped Dog.
A drawing teacher in the upper re-
ginns Of the borough of Manhattan tells
me Of curious instance OF what she
calls the crescent freshness of the metro
politan youth. Tommy was the most in
corrigible pupil in that particular room,
making the half hour spent there daily
one Of mingled doubt and anguish of
spirit to the drawing teacher. The other
day Tommy was evidently engaged in
some new form of mischief. His draw
ing pad lay upon the desk before him
and his hands were lowering over it,
now swooping down at one side of the
paper, now at the other, as If corralling
some unwilling ant or other insect seek
ing to escape.
Tommy" said tho drawing teacher
suddenly and sharply. what are you
doing?"
"Nothin. was Tommy's instant re-
ply. Then he added, "Nothin but keep
in this ere dawg from runnin away"
what dogp" queried the drawing
teacher. II sec no dog. What do you
meanP'
"Course ye don't see no dawg," said
Tommy, oeasing his gymnastics under
her sharp glance and Strengthening
up. Eyer too far away The other
scholars were all attention by this time,
which was precisely what Tommy
wanted, and he assumed look of I'M
amiling innocence as he continued, 81
drored runnin dawg, not Il standin
still one, an I was a-headin i'm off SOS
be wouldn't run off tn tablet an git on
th' floor"
The other children laughed uproari-
ously at this, whereupon Tommy sur
veyed them with such an assumption of
surprised Indignation that their mirth
was redoubled. The teacher was now
genuinely angry. She was matter of
fact young woman to whom normal
school methods were both law and gos-
pei, and here was q fragrant case of
downright falsehood that must be eX-
posed as an awful example to the entire
grade Of pupils. She walked slowly and
firmly down the aisle and picked up
Tommy's tablet. The white sheet was
unsullied by single mark of any kind
Tommy" she said stcrnly, exhibit
ing the sheet to the pupils, There ISL t
a dog or anything else here. -

The Decrease in the Freight
Traffic of the Santa Fe
VIII Cause That Road to Re-
duce Its Force
)F EXTRA OPERATORS.
Men Are to be Laid Off at Sew
en- Stations.
Future Locomotive Power Dis
cussed by f. ri. Gilbert.

A material reduction is to be made in
the Santa Fe telegraph department by
January IS. The force is at present the
largest in the history of the road, due
to the enormous traffic of the past sew
eral months
The slump in traffic, which always
occurs after the first of the year. is al
ready beginning to be felt, and within
the next few days an operator will be
released from the offices at Topeka
Argentine, Kansas City Emporia
Newton, Dodge City and Arkansas
City
All of the operators will be the extra
men put to work some months ago
when the heavy traffic first commence
ed.
But, unlike other years, the small
telegraph offices which were opened to
accommodate the heavy traffic, will not
this year be closed. The Santa F'e Of
hcials do not look for a great falling on
in traffic, and at all of the small sta
tions where offices were opened during
the past year, there will probably be
sufficient business through the spring
to require the services Of an operator.
Never in the history of the Santa Fe
up to the past year did the traffic on
the road demand an extra operator at
any station with the exception of Ar
gentine.
At the time of the heavy train traf-
fic in 1892 an extra operator was placed
in the Argentine Office, but the offices
at Topeka, Kansas City, EmpOria,
Newton, Dodge City and Arkansas City
never boosted of extra. men until the
heavy traffic of 1897.
