Prevention Of Deformities.

Deformities are either the results of
injury or disease. Those which result
from violence may often be prevented
by properly fitted spiints, and the ex-
ercise of care on the part of the injured
.personsor his nurse that these are not
displaced,a y bone may be accurately
SET and yet carelessness on the part
of the sufferer may subsequently mis-
place the fragments. A plaster splint
is, perhaps. least likely to allow such
an accident to occur.
1t is well known that deformity is a
common result of local paralysis, such
as frequently follows diphtheria. The
nerves supplying the muscles on the
back of d. limb, for example, may be
affected a,1by paralysis, and in such a
case the normal resistance of these
muscles 10 those on the other side of
the limb is decreased or destroyed. so
that one-sided activity is established.
This, lasting through considera Bile
time, will produce marked deformity.

Tt is believed by many eminent au-
thorities that fully one-half the de-
formities Of this class might be pre-
vented by persistent attempts to USE
the affected muscles Electricity has
its use here, but it must be supple

Eagle. This is what it was: A little
bag of dainty Powered ribbon, lined
with soft pink silk. The bottom oval in
shape, was stiffened with cardboard and
the top was shrred and tied with narrow
needles, pins. thimble and tiny pair OF
scissors. The whole affair was very
small and the contents only intended for
emergency uses-the stitch in time. And
this is what the bride said on her return
to the giver of the bag:
,"Oh you dear, clever girl, how ever
did you happen to think of that sewing
bag? Such a brilliant IDEA, but then it
was just Ike you to do something no one

The exhibits in each department were
very complete, covering the work from

Mud Throw at Carlyle.

1t was safe for one long-eared animal
to insult the dying lion; it is still safer TO do
40 when the lion ia dead. Many persons
doubtless believe that Thomas Carlyle is
overrated, and still more wish that he had
written English, as he could, instead Of
Carlylsse, which he generally did write.
Compare John Sterling" with Frederick
the Great A "biogra phical' article in the
Bookmdn, with superfuity Of illust ra,ions,
has been reprinted in book form and is
published as Thomas Carlyle, by James
Pott 4 Co. The authors OF the forty pages,
more than half filed with pictures. are
G. X. Chesterton and j. p. Holder Williams.
Tho latter we assume wrote the notes. Mr..
Chestcrton belongs to the school OF youthful
impari inence which. though We have speci-
mems here in America, seems to thrive best
in England. He talks as little of Carlyle as
he can. but piunges at once into paradoxes
and sputters Of feeble wit. like Japanese
frecrucksrs, intended to show what a
rcma rkably clever young man Mr., G. X.
Ches,erton is. He informs us that Carlyle
was the great "Irrationalist, calls him
"a monster Of industry" who achieved such
mast erpieccs Of research as the diecovery
of sense in Cromwell's speeches and good
qualities in Frederick Of Prussia II is
hard to believe that Mr.. Chesterton has
read Carlyle, and even harder to believe
that he has read anything else.
