STRAINS.
Why They Are So Severe and How They
 Should Be Treated.

Shouid l5e Ireated-
 It is commonly said that sprained joint is worse than broken bone, and this is often true, for in a severe sprain the injury is really greater than in simple fracture, The ankle is perhaps the most frequently sprained of all the joints, though the knee, elbow and wrist are also very liable to be injured, in falls especially.
 A sprain of a joint varies greatly in severity. It may consist of a simple wrench, without the tearing of any of the fragments, or it may be a more ex- tensive injury, stopping just short of dislocation.
 In moderately severe case one or more of the fragments of the joint will be torn slightly, or possibly completely across. The membrane beneath the lig- aments, which retains the lubricating fluid of the joint, will be ruptured, per mitting the escape of more or less of this fluid into the parts about, and giy- ing rise sometimes to a considerable swelling. This swelling may be inereas- ed also by an effusion of fluid into the joint, especially if inflammation sets in, and finally there Is usually 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 more severe cases the tendons pass ing over the joint and attaching the muscles which move it to the bones may suffer considerable damage, or one of them may be broken or torn from it's at tachment. bringing with it silver of bone. Where so much harm has been done to all the parts-bones fragments, tendons and muscles-it is easy to un- derstand that much pain will result and that the cure will be tedious.
 In the treatment of a sprain the first thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain and prevent inflammation, then to favor healing of the torn structures, and after that to restore the use of the limb.
 The first of these objects is accom- plished by absolute rest of the injured part, the limb being raised, and by lead and opium wash, spirit lotion, or such other local applications as the physician may prescribe. Swelling is prevented in a measure and pain is sometimes re- lieyed by firm bandaging with a fan- nel bandage.
 When the swelling, heat and pain are gone, the limb should not be used too soon. but should be brought gradu- ally back to health by cold douehing, dry rubbing in a direction toward the body and passive motion. It is some times necessary in very severe cases to treat the sprain by means of splints, ex- actly as if it were fracture or disloea- tion. Youths Companion.

 fence Their Quacking,
 A baggage man on the Santa Fe who runs into Kansas City from out in the western part of Kansas has lost lots of sleep. It is doubtful if be can ever catch up with it. He leaves Hutchinson at night and reaches Kansas City in the morning. Nearly every night he brings in his car two or three ceops of live do- mestio ducks During the night, when he has no baggage to deliver at small stations, 1t has been his habit and privi. lege to lie down on an improvised couch and doze. With the advent of the ducks the dozing stopped. The almost constant quaolking of the ducks, who could not understand their strange environment, would not permit of sleep.
 For many nights as he lay awake he planned relief. He thought of strangling the ducks or ehloroforning them. But neither expedient seemed good. One night a bright idea came to him. After he had put 1t into execution the ducks were silent
 The next night he had two coops of undsudlly NOGlHCt JUS dilCAS. 1Ao sOOu us it came time for sleep he wrenohed a slat from one of the coops, reached in and pulled out duck From his pocket ho took small rubber band, which he slipped over the duck $ bill just back of the nostrils. The duck tried to quaolz, but the rubber band, while it stretched a little, would not permit the duck to open it's bill far enough to use it's tongue. Only q murmur came from it. One by one the ducks were muzzled, and the baggage man rested comforta- bly,.
 The commission men were surprised next morning when they received a lot of ducks with rubber bands around their bills, and when the bands were re- moved the shouts of protest from the ducks were deafening. City Star.

YAwN AND LAUGH OFTEN.
Scientists Declare That Both Are Highly
 Beneficial.

It is not so very long ago since for eign scientist discoursed on the bene9x of yawning This act, which is gener- ally regarded as partaking of the nature of a tired condition, or symptom of such condition, of the respiration and of the need for fresh air, is said to be of great service in clearing the eusta- chian tubes of the ears. These tubes lead from the back of the mouth to the inner side of the ear drum, and yawn- ing is looked upon in this light as hygienic exercise which benefits the structures ill question.
 Another scientist has no difficulty in showing that when we laugh we in- crease the play of tension in our lungs One result of this increased tension is to arrest the blood flow in the lungs and to induce the taking of deep in. spirationa These latter are healthful things, for many parts of our lungs arc not called into active use in ordinary breathing. The apex, or top of the lung, is notably part which does not actiye- ly participate in the movements of breathing. and as this is the special scat of consumption attack we may reasonably hold that the law of disuse explains the greater liability of this portion of the organ to the onset of dis easa The free and active use of part strengthening and toning it, as it were, ia an essential condition for healthi hence laughter, by bringing into play tho whole of the lungs, or at least by favoring an increase of lung work, is to be reckoned an admirable exercise
 Besides this physical effect of laugh ter we have also to take into account its mental side. There is certain brain stimulus to be noted, psychic result, in addition to the physical effect, and t is pretty certain the mental phase of good, hearty laugh is, in its way, as hea1thful as is its physical aspect Singing is also praised as an excellent lung exercise, and public speaking is as effective lung tonic as one may wish for. The only drawback to the work o& the speaker is the foul condition of the atmosphere in which he has often ho dc his work. Exchange

Sheep Raising For Women.

A woman in Virginia Is making mon ey by raising sheep. She is a school teacher and she has home, with some acres of land which she had not time to cultivate, but which she wished to turn to account She spent $25, paying $3 a head for ewes, and then turned her flock into her pasture land Of course they increased, and she raised what she could care for on her land, selling the rest as soon as they were of marketable age. She gave only about one hour day to them, and paid a boy 50 cents week to keep the sheep sheds clean and the fodder cut up She has been in the busi ness about five years. The first year she came out $40 ahead of her experiment. At the end of the fourth year she had a flock of 60 ewes all she could keep with her pasturage, and in wool and mutton she found she had clear yearly income of $45o.
 Because the pasture was not large enough, and because she had her school duties and so had no great amount of time to give to the flock, she did not increase it beyond the number given, but she considers that she has fine in- come for the time she devotes to the work
 She declares, too, that, in spite of their stupid ways and their predisposi- tion to dirt her sheep both amused and interested her and were of all ventures she made at swelling her income the most profitable. the least troublesome, and the special sort of live stock most likely to flourish under feminine man agenent.
