Treatino a Sprain,

The first thing to do with a
sprain is to apply water as hot as
can he borne and repeat until the
pain is gone. The hot water may be
showered on the sprain, or wet
cloths may be used if frequently re-
newed. The foot or ankle can be
conveniently immersed in the hot
water. The next thing is to keep
the injured part thoroughly warm.
This is done by winding it with
wadding or flannel. The less a
sprained limb is used and the quiet
er it is kept the more likely it is to
get well quickly.

PENRHYN ISLAND.
One Of the Pearl Studded Fairy Rings
of the Pacific.

of the Pacific.
Penrhyn appeared one morning
on the northern horizon, a band of
dim shadow above the ocean. On
these narrow islands you see the
lark line of the palm tree fronds at
4 distance, but not the stems, so
that the land seems to hang between
sea and sky. Penrhyn is one Of
those fascinating atolls, the fairy
rings Of the Pacific, that have been
formed by the subsistence Of the
land, while only the coral reef that
once encircled it remains, and the
great circular lagoon takes the
place of the island that was. The
islands are not more than ten feet
high.
The famous pearl island was sup
posed to have been discovered by
the ship Lady Penrhyn in 1888.
Lieutenant Rignold Of the Porpoise,
who visited it in 1911, stated that
its inhabitants we're the widest and
most savage looking beings he had
ever seen. The island was subse-
quentlv visited by traders and in
1855 was formally annexed to Great
Britain.
PenrIyn is one Of the most ia
nous pearl islands of the Pacific,
and it's divers are as famous as its
pearls. They will dive to depth Of
twenty fathoms, or 120 feet. The
pearl shell grows to very large
size in the lagoon, and the picked
she'll is worth $1,000 a ton in the
home market. Formerly pearls
we're more plentiful. On one occa-
sion Messrs. Godefroy, the famous
German firm, shipped to Europe in
one parcel pearls to the value of
$4,000, the product of a few
collection among the is
lands, and in the early days the
beach combers who we're daring
enough to land on those remote is
lands and who managed to escape

VALUE OF AN IDEA.
One Bright Young Man Got a Elf9G,
Price For His.

EA'SS 1Oh sSIS'
An elderly gentleman, whose ap-
pearance correctly indicated him to
be man of wealth, handed young
man a check a few afternoons ago
in the lobby Of an uptown hotel.
Observing that it was drawn for ST.
900, a friend remarked that the
young man must have rendered
some important service to the be-
nevolent gentleman.
'He has," replied the latter. ''He
put 100000 into my pocket"
''Why didn't he keep it himself?"
asked the friend enviously, as such
examples of generosity are rare.
because he could not use it. The
$1,000 will be more available to
him. I will explain, as neither of
us was actuated by motives Of gen.
crosby, but cold business.
GAS you know, I am the president
of a corporation that is one of the
largest advertisers in the world, as
we spend thousands-yes, hundreds
of thousands-of dollars a year in
letting the people know that our ar
ticles are just what they must have,
whatever else they don't have.
eve believe in advertising, and
this young man knows it and has
profted accordingly. He came to
me today, as we are utter strangers,
and asked me if I would pay him
$1,000 for an idea on advertising
our goods. | did not try to beat
him down to 800, good figure for
an idea, but promptly told him that
I would gladly pay his price If
upon communicating to me the idea
I considered it worth what no de.
manded; otherwise would pay him
what I, and not he, considered it
worth.
'FTo this he readily assented, and
in an hours talk he explained to
me the brightest idea on advertis-
ing | have ever received out OF thou
sands of suggestions. We will make
over 100000 profit inside of a
year on increased sales and perma-
nent business retained. So, you
see, his price was cheap.
Fortunes have been made in
business by the advertising of sin
gle suggestion in such a manner
that the public see it out of the
great mass of printed matter going
through their hands, and this tide
of advertisement flows so rapidly
that there must be something above
another which attracts public at.

that bright young man gave to me.

The Value OF Cats.

Cats are so common nowadays
that people do not realize their val
ue, although they would soon do so
if they had to get along without
them for awhile and suffer from the
plague Of vermin which would ar
rive through unrestricted multiply
ing of the pests which the pussics
destroy and drive away. So late as
the middle ages cats were compare
lively scarce in Europe and were so
highly priced that any person who
killed one was obliged to pay fine.
This penalty sometimes was requir~
ed to be paid in the shape of pile
of wheat big enough to cover the
slain animal when it was held YER
tically by the tip of its tail, the nose
touching the ground.

Letter Writing Ccnsing.

The autograph letter is rapidly be-
coming a thing Of the past. Shorthand
and the typewriter have killed it. No
business man nowadays writes a let
ter with his own hand; he supplies the
matter and his signature, and his typist
does the rest. 1t is an age Of short
cuts, and even literary men find it
more profitable to dictate than to
write their copy. One OF the most sue
cessful Of modern newspaper proprie-
tors confessed the other day that he
had not written q letter for seven
years, although his private correspond
ence amounted to more than fifty let
ters daily.
Cabinet ministers alone seem to cling
to the old tradition. Lord Salisbury
abhors a typewriter letter, and Mr..
Arthur Balfour writes a large part of
his correspondence himself. Even Mr..
Chamberlain, who is essentially UP
to date, seems to regard the typewriter
as altogether inferior to the telegraph
as a vehicle for conveying his cpln.
