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. 1t 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 as foster mother to =
Maltese kitten. Moreover, the noodle
has three puppies of her own to take
care OF.
The dogs name is F1do. She looks
like roll Of curly white cotton with
four legs and little black nose. and
she likes children. Her three pupnies
were only a week old when her mas
ter found 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
Der 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 pupnfes
wer larger than the kitten and thew
crowded over it. That would never
do. and so Fido got her foster child
by the neck again and carried II hack
TO the barn. where she made as good
nest as the little dogs had tn lie
IN. Now Fido pas.es half her time
with the puppies and the other half
with the kitten.

BOATMAN'S CALL WAS AWFUL
"Children Thrown In" Was Too Much
for Little Miss Of Five Who
Wanted to Ride.

An alert little five-year-old was Wis
iting a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats,
as they passed through in the morn
ing, and her mother had promised
they should come back after the shop
ping was done and have ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon, watching
tho boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize 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

London Goes to Bed EarLv

Contrary to an opinion commonly
held In New York, London does not
obtain relief from the effects of the
early-closing laws by forming supper
clubs. There were such clubs fifteen
years ago, but nowadays there are no
supper clubs in London where the
thirsty can with slight formality OF
initiation get drinks after 1890 a. M,
when all restaurants and saloons are
closed ordinarily, the closing hour on
Saturday night being midnight and on
Sunday night eleven o'clock.
The police long ago made the life
of supper clubs impossible and there
is not one now in existence in Lon
don, says the New York Suns Lon
den correspondent. The average Lon
doner when his restaurant and pub"
closes must go home or to his club.
and London clubs with single ex-
ception are closed at two a. m. One
club keeps open until four a. m. Fake
clubs cannot exist nowadays.
The police permit two clubs in the
vicinity of Leicester square, the heart
of Ipndon's tenderloin, to keep open
all night. One Of them Is patronized

pull should be steady and considerable
force used, but it must not be jerked
by a sudden pull. Sometimes the
person giving the first aid can get q
better pull and also assist in pushing
the head of the bone into place by re.
moving one Of his shoes and placing
his heel under the injured shoulder
and pulling while bracing himself in
this way. Care must be taken not to
push up under the arm too forciblv.
as there is considerable danger of in

that pass along under the shoulder.
The Elbow.
The elbow is quite frequently dislo-

The usual kind is to have the bones of

DiSlOcQtiOnS

D1slocattons are severe sprains that
have stretched and torn the ligaments
and tissues around the joint to such
an extent as to allow the end of the
bones to become misplaced. Some dis
locations are known as congenital
that is, they have existed since birth
and are Cue to some malformation OF
some part of the joint.
The symptoms Of a dislocation are
(D pain, which Is usually dull, but
may be acute on attempting to move
the joint; (2) more or less deformity
depending upon the degree of the dis.
location; 60 swelling, due to the es.
cape of blood and serum from the
ruptured blood vessels; (4) a certain
amount Of disability; 60 limitation of
motion.
If the dislocation is not reduced IRE.
placed) within few days, there is
danger of the bones becoming fixed
in their unnatural positions.
In simple d1slocations it is permits
sible for the person giving the first
aid to attempt to reduce it by pulling
on the bone, at some distance from the
part dislocated, and at the same time
attempting to push the end dislocated
back into place. This should only be
tried two or three times, and if not
successful, the patient should be seen
by doctor.
Injuries From a Fall.
In injuries from fall or other &C.
cident, where there Is a possibility of
one of the vertebra being dislocated,
the patient should be moved very care
fully. If necessary to turn the pa
tient over, be sure to turn the hips
and shoulders and head at the same
time and very slowly. This is very
important, because if a dislocation ex-

tional pressure upon it by the twisting
of the vertebra may destroy it alto
gether at that point and cause per-
manent paralysis of the body below
that level, or if high up in the spine, it
may cause immediate death. The pa
tient should not be picked up by the
shoulders and legs and carried or
moved at all until his head and shout

long board or shutter so that there is
no possibility OF the spine being twist

Sprains
AT times the whole ioint NAV apnea

AT times the whole joint may appear
loose and relaxed. In q very short
time swelling takes place and then the
pain which may have been lessened
for time, returns. Movement of the
joint now may be greatly lessened or
prevented altogether 1t is very de-
s1rable that the physician see the
sprain before the swelling becomes
too marked, because when it is pres
ent, it is next to impossible to tell
whether or not partial dislocation or
fracture also exists.
In treating a sprain we want to
limit the 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

the part the same as before.
Severe sprains should be put ct rest
for "a to Sc hours and the part kept
elevated so as to lessen the amount of
blood to the part. Soaking the part

very hot 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 bandages 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

should be gradually increased. After
few days the part may be strapped
with adhesive plaster or bandaged and
used little as normally. Although
severe sprains should be put at rest
for day or two, it is not advisable
to put them up in splints or plaster

The inventive talents of the German
royal family have been much il
evidence of late. A few months ago the
emperor's brother, Prince Henry, OBJ

has actually taken out a patent for q

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 large
fortune In opening them out, and in
constructing canal to carry the coal
TO Manchester and Liverpool, took
great pleasure in watching his men
at work. He used to come every
morning to the place where they were
boring for coal, and stand looking on
for hours at 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 until he
went away
AS it 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, observant
man, and he did not fail to notice
that his worlknaen ceased working the
moment the bell began to strike
twelve o'clock; but they were not so
prompt In resuming work at one
o'clock.
They came leisurely up one 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 not 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 even yet striking its
thirteen strokes at one o'clock

I What*to Do
/ Before the: T.
| ]. Doctor (: Comes OF!

In order 10 facilitate our moving
about and performing our various dt,-
ties. the body has been supplied with
numerous movable joints. These are
primarily of two kinds, hinge joints,
which allow motion only backward
and forward In one place. as at the
knee; and ball and socket joints
which allow motion, to a certain ex-
tent, IN all directions, as at the shout
der. The movements of the joints are
accomplished by the action of the
various muscles that stretch across
them and are fastened at a greater or
less distance on each side. Some
muscles run across two or more
joints, and SO In a measure assist in
controlling the movement in each of
them.
The most common injury to joint
Is sprain. 1t is usually caused by a
sudden twist or wrench of one Of the
bones that goes to make up the joint.
II may, however. be produced by slow
oVer-bending (extension or hexion) of
the joint as when person is trying to
bend backward as far as he can or
take some unusual position.
Inc degree of the injury done is
variable and depends upon the kind OF
spraln, the direction of the force ap-
piled, and what joint is affected. The
effect may be only slight so that the
pain subsidies in a short time, or it
may be that enough damage has been
done so that dislocation at the Joint
occurs, a dislocation being merely a
severe sprain that has torn enough
l1gaments and structures around the
joint to allow one of the bones to
slip out of its place.
Sprains are more frequent in young
and middle-aged adults. The most
common locations are at the ankle
and wrist joints.
Severe sprains, If not treated prop
erly, are liable to cause a permanent
limitation Of motion (ankylosis) in the
joint, or disability for a long period
OF time. 1t very often happens that
partial dislocation or a fracture of
the end of one of the bones occurs at
the same time as the sprain, so that
all severe sprains and minor ones that
do not improve promptly should be
seen by physician.
Pain Is always produced by
sprain; it is usually very severe, often
causing the patient to faint. Some.
times movement of the joint Is pos.
eible in some direction in which 1t
was not possible before the accident.
