Fractures.

The word fracture comes from the Latin
word frango, which means, ! break;
therefore a fractured bone is 4 broken
bone. Fractures may be either simple or
compound. In simple fracture the bone
is broken inside the skin. without much
Iaceration of the surrounding parts. and
without any external wound. A COM
pound fracture is a much more serious
affair, for the skin is broken, and some
times the fractured bore protrudes through
the wound. In very bad cases the bone
itself is splintered into small fragments,
and the tissues all round are severely lac
Grated. When a fracture is complete =
the bone is broken entirely across; when
il is incomplete" the bone is broken
partly through, or the tough membrane
that covers the boHe is not torn.
Children are much more likely to es-
cape with incomplete, or green Stick
fractures than old people are, because
their bones are much less brittle. There
fore broken bone 10 child often cracks
hallway through, andthen splitsup length
wise, just as a green stick breaks when
you bend it. The bones OF the old, on
the contrary, usually snap right across,
lust as the same stick snaps after It has
grown dry and old.
The treatment otiracture varies accord
ing 10 the particular bone injured, and
also according TO the kind OF fracture
whether simple or compound, or whether
complete, incomplete, or splntered. The
most difficult thing is to get the broken
ends OF the bone exactly into place and
10 keep them in place after they are set.
That is because the constant pulling OF
the muscles sometimes makes il almost
impossible to keep the broken ends to-
gether.
When the break is in the middle OF a
long bone, like the arm bone or the thigh
bone, the usual practice is to put the limb
into a splint, after the fracture is set, and
10 fasten weight TO the lower extremity.
That keeps the muscles stretched so that
they are unable TO pull the bones out OF
place. Occasionally this method is in
ehectual, and then it is necessary TO cut
down TO the bone and tasten the two ends
into place by means OF metal plate
nailed right into the shaft OF the bone.
The result, even with the most expert
treatment, is sometimes unsatisfactory,
and the surgeon in many cases is blamed
uniusty for deformity that nothing could
have prevented. Now that the position
OF the bone, after setting, can be deter
mined by means of the X-rays, bad re-
suit is less comro7 than II used 10 be !;
but even now IS occ IslonalIy inevitable.

Beautiful Lives.

Beautiful lives are those that seek
To make life beautiful--peak 10 peak
Sending the sunlight sounding the cheer
That hold the sorrow and dry the tear.
Beautiful lives. that build and bloom
In every sunless and silent room
A shrine OF beauty that those that dwell
May feel the touch of the beautiful spell.
Beautiful lives, that find their way
Into the corners so dark and gray,
And dust the cobwebS and bring the gleam
That the hermit souls therein may dream.
Beautiful lives are those that lind
The beautiful secret OF being kind,
And passing il on and making il grow
In many an aching heart Of woe.
Beautiful lives that where they pass
Are like music along The grass,
breeze OF summer. velvet thing
Like a butterfly poised on azure wing.
Beautiful lives. that come with love
To teach the lesson OF dream and dove.
And spread the fashion OF being sweet
From door to door in the little street.
Beautiful lives are those that give
Beautiful love that the world may live
In melOwer manners and tenderer ways
Down IFS tong and teeming days.
Beautiful lives are those that seek
To help the helpless and aid the weak,
To cheer the cherries, and sing and smile
In such friendly and fearless style.
Beautiful lives, that are dew
On dusty roads that the world poughs through.
And vine by the door, and flower on the sill,
To bring Gods beauty to lone and i'll.

The Gardens We Plant.

About this time Of year many beautiful
and thriving gardens are made. Usually
they are constructed at office desks or un-
der the library lamp, for lis at this season
that seedmen's catalogues and yearoooks
begin TO arrive. and study Of their fascina-
ting pages leads 10 wonderful results with
those who have back 10 the land dreams.
Into those gardens no frosts come; the
tender plants peeping through the ground
are never nipped by freezing blasts they
are net drowned out by flooding rains;
they are not shriveed by drought or fierce
heat OF the sun; weeds are not known in
those gardens. Rains fall upon them
gently, and all their products flourish
nightly.
Rsdlshes, pink and white, grow in those
gardens; peas in long rows are there,
and wax and lima beans. The wax beans
in the yearbooks are delicious looking.
Early corn rushes TO its maturity; lettuce
and cauliflower, cabbage and celery, on
ions and tomatoes, cucumbers and melons,
all have their place. No destructive in
sects are known there. Neither cucum-
bers nor potatoes are molested by bugs |;
cabbages arefree from worms marauding
hens are not known.
The gardens thus planted are ideal;
they are all the yesrbooks promise with
the glamor OF dreams added. They are
what The dreamers see in the visions Of
the real gardens, they mean to plant some
day. Perhaps, after all, they are better
than the real gardens for their crops never
fail and they never disapPoint. Even
though these fair gardens never material
ize, they have charm all their own.
The seedsmen are responsible for more
wonders than they know.

Bird Reservations.

More than million acres OF land will
be added 10 The bird reservations in the
United States if the National Association
Of Audubon societies, with headquarters
in New York, succeeds in its campaign 10
have all the cemeteries Of the country con-
verted into bird sanctuaries. The plan
includes not only the forty-eight burial
grounds OF New York City, bH all ceme-
teries, down TO the lonely graveyard OF
the smallest hamlet.
"While the average visitor TO ceme-
teries is frequently impressed with the
song OF BIRDS" said T. Gilbert Pearson.
secretary of the association, who has
brought forward this plan, "this is due
rather 10 the usual quiet and perhaps 10
the receptive mood OF the person. The
number Of birds is really small compared
TO what II would be were but little effort
made.
"Much has been done 10 drive birds
from cemeteries. Frequently there is not
a yard OF underbrush where thrasher or
vireo can build IFS nest. There are no
pools or other means for the birds TO slake
their thirst. Tree surgery has closed the
cavities whence titmouse, wren or blue
bird formerly issued TO console the lonely
visitor Fruit bearing trees have been
removed and there is an absence OF the
berry bearing shrubs, such as birds en-
JOY"
The association. in addition 10 the above
needs, is urging the exclusion Of gunners
and cats from the cemeteries, the latter
through the use OF cat-proot fences. The
placing OF bird boxes in trees is recon-
mended, as we'll as the construction OF
fountains or other drinking places for the
birds. Food in the way OF growing black
berries, strawberries or mulberries is sug-
gested, while many cemeteries are said to
have ample waste space where buckwheat
and other small grain could be planted
without detracting from the beauty OF the
landscape. The supplying Of food in
other ways as we'll as the provisions for
nest building are among other sugges-
tions contained in a circular just isgued
by the association. which, Mr.. Pearson
says, he will mail to all persons interested
in having their city cemetery converted
into bird sanctuary.
