no use to send the apparatus.

they should come back after the shop
ping was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon, watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to p%atronize his
swan boats. .
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing. little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all. and as her mother urged
her, broke forth in tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying, Come along, come
along-ride clear around the pond

CATS AND DOGS IN JERSEY
French Poodle Acts as Foster Mother
to Maltese Kitten and Cares for
Own Puppies.

Dogs must be different in New Jer-
sey. Ii seems that nothing in New
Jersey happens as things do in other
parts of the country, and so it does
not seem queer that a French poodle
should be acting rs foster mother to a
Maltese kitten. Moreover, the poodle
has three puppies of her own to take
care of.
The dogs name is Fido. She looks
like a roll of curly white cotton. with
four legs and a little black nose. and
she likes children. Her three puppies
were only a e. old when her mas
ter found a litter of kittens In the
barn. Fido was along with him at the
time. and she was greatly interested.
She examined them all carefully. and
then she took up one by the nape of
the neck, just as a mother cat carries
her children. and trotted across the
yard to her own home. She put the
kitten among the puppies and pre-
pared to live happily, but the puppies
Yves larger than the kitten and they
crowded owe it. That would never
do. and so Fido got her foster child
by the neck again and carried il back
to the barn, where she made as good
a nest as the little dogs had to lie
In. Now Fido passes half her time
with the puppies and the other half
with the kitten.

sprain before the swelling becomes
too marked, because when it is pres
ent, 1t is next to impossible to tell
whether or not a partial dislocation or
a fracture also exists.
Since a Joint that has been sprained
once is more easily Sprained a second
time, it should be supported in some
way by a brace while N exercise or
work is being done that will bring
more than the usual strain upon 1t, as
wearing an ankle brace while running
or jumping. 1t is not advisable to
wear a brace all the time as it acts
as a crutch in doing part of the work
Of supporting the joint for the liga-
ments, and they are inclined to be-
come weakened if o used. In addi-
ton, there is still more danger of q
sprain being caused if the brace
should me left off at any time.
In treating a sprain we want to
limit h degree of swelling as much
as possible. This will tend to lessen
the pain and the time of disability on
account OF the sprain. In slight sprains
the part may be bandaged tightly or
strapped with adhesive plaster (Which.
is usually kept at all drug stores and
hold, and the patient allowed to use
the part the same as before.
Severe sprains should be put at rest
for "a to SO hours and the part kept
elevated so as to lessen the amount of
blood to the part. Soaking the part
in cold water while it is gently rubbed
is usually the most effective way of
reducing the swelling. Sometimes
very lot water is more comfortable
and often acts as efficiently as cold.
The part should then be ~bandaged
tightly as the pressure in a measure
prevents swelling. Care must be ex
ercised here not to get the bandages
too tight. The injured part should be
watched closely so that the swelling
does not make the b~andages too tight
Quite serious harm can be done BY
too much pressure being applied
After the acute pain has subsidized and
the swelling has ceased getting great.
er, usually about the beginning of the
second "a hours, gentle massage and
passive movements working and
moving the joint with the hands,
should be begun and the force used
should be gradually increased. Aftei
a few days the part may be strapped
with adhesive plaster or bandaged and
used a little as normally. Although
severe sprains should be put at res;
for a day or two. 1t is not advisable
TO put them up in splints or plaster
of paris casts or delay the massage
and movement too long, as there is
danger of a stiff joint resulting.-Will

THIRTEEN O'CLOCK AT MINES
Eccentric Duke of Bridgewater Had
Unique Plan to Get Men to Work
After Dinner.

The eccentric Duke of Bridgewa-
ter, who owned extensive coal mines
near Manchester, and spent a large
fortune in opening them out. and in
constructing a canal 70 carry the coal
to Manchester and Liverpool, took
great pleasure in watching his men
at work. He used to come every
boring for coal, and stand looking on
for hours at a time. He was often
there when the bell rang at twelve
o'clock, at which hour the men ceased
work for their MONDAY meal and rest.
But the men scarcely liked to give
up work while the duke was watching
them, and they continued on unfit he
went away.
AS 1t was not pleasant to have their
dinner-hour deferred day after day in
this way, the men tried TO avoid work
ing at the boring which the duke was
accustomed to visit. and the duke
engineer, Brindley, had great difficulty
in finding sufficient men for that par
ticular work. Upon inquiry, he dis
covered the reason of it. and explained
matters to the duke, who took care
after that to walk away before the
bell rang at noon.
The duke was a shrewd, observanf
man, and he did not fail to noticc
that his workmen ceased working the
moment the bell began to strikc
twelve o'clock, but they were not SO
prompt in resuming work at one
o'clock.
They came leisprely up n by one
some minutes after the clock had
struck. When the duke inquired the
reason of this, the men excused them
selves by saying that while they
heard the clock we'll enough when it
struck twelve, they did o always
hear it when it struck only once The
duke thereupon had the clock made to
strike thirteen at one o'clock. so that
the men could no longer plead this
excuse for their dilatoriness. This
clock was still in use not many years
ago. and may be eve yet striking its
thirteen strokes at one o'clock.

Return of the Empire Style Presaged
by the Gowns Seen at the
Paris Races.

Waist lines were up and now are
down; but with imperishable exuber-
ance they are going up again. This is
the latest style in Paris, the Wall street
of fashion.
In other words, the empire styles
are returning, and those of Us who
still have Jul high-waisted gowns of
and wait for their return to favor.
This return is presaged in a thou
sand ways-by the very short jackets
with coat suits at the Paris races, by
the boleros of different color from their
shirts, by the high girdles caught al
most under the arms. and the full.
long skirts that fall from these girdles.
by the fashionable frill itself. which
is getting shorter and shorter, until 1t
is becoming the actual empire mode.
Black velvet is seer everywhere on
hats and shoes, in fact the grand chic
is to wear black velvet shoes with
white embroidered muslins and lawns.
