TREATMENT OF MUSCLE STRAIN.

Pains Often Mistaken for Rheumatism, Pest the Gore. A muscle which has been strained either by overuse or by use in some unaccustomed way often gives rise to such severe symptoms as to lead to a diagnosis of some other and more serious trouble. This affection is not the same as that called myalgia, which Indeed means pain in a muscle, but Is usually of rheumatic or neuralgic nature. The trouble here meant Is something less serious, being nothing more than a strain. It Is easy to see that any muscular pain may be mistaken for rheumatism or some acute inflammation, as it may give rise to precisely the same painful symptoms. For example, when It occurs in some muscle on the right side of the abdomen It has been known to look for a time •sadly like the colic of appendicitis, and It haß time and again been treated' as true rheumatism. There are several ways in which the> facts may be discovered. On «U6Btloning it will be found that some muscle or certain set of muscles has been subjected to an unusual strain and is in a state of mutiny In consequence. The pain will be worse at night and better in the morning after 'the night's rest, proving that it has a basis of fatigue. Furthermore, It will yield entirely to a proper amount of rest. In fact this one thing rest comprises the Whole of the treatment. When the abdominal muscles are Involved there must be rest In bed, with perhaps some Anodyne to deaden the pain at first —this, of course, to** be given , only, -under the order of a physician. In milder cases the patients can go about their usual duties If fitted properly with an abdominal belt.

When the muscles at the back of the neck are affected it Is a great relief always to use a hlghbacked chair, and when the pain Is In the arm a allng should be worn. When this condition" of painful muscle is found In conjunction with £ .general loss of tone, as shown by lack.of appetite, pallor and debility, then In addition to local rest to the particular muscle Involved a general course of tonic treatment should be Instituted. When the, trouble can be traced directly to the dally vocation .of the sufferer A change should be —l* the habits for a time where

this Is possible, imrortunateiy wren most persons their dally bread will depend upon the use of Just this particular muscle, and In these cases there is nothing to do bu* placate the part with all the rest that can he given It and help it with mechanical support for a time If this Is feasible.

A Diplomat Wasted.

A famous animal painter says that when he was a boy he once witnessed a fight between two dogs, one of which belonged to an Irishman who was a retired prizefighter. The Irishman’s dog was badly beaten, and the fact was a source of l deep chagrin to the owner. He was 1 very Jealous of his dog’s record, i but, as only he and the painter had, seen the fight, he asked the latter, *in a decidedly significant way, which) of the dogs won. “Why,” was the reply; *“your dog won, of course. He was underneath the other dog, bat he was chewing the life out of the cur all the time.”

"That’s roight,” said the Irishman. “You have saved your loife.”

What Makes a Navy.

While the maritime nations of the earth are striving - for the mastery of the seas through the building of gigantic vessels, w«e may content ourselves with the (thought that here we have the men! and the spirit that makes for victories, Sincerely it is to be hoped that! It will be long ere we shall be called upon to test our prowess against these latest developments in naval architecture, but If the time does come we can comfort ourselves with the reflection that a gathering of * ships does not make a navy—now as always it is the man behind the gun.—Washington Herald.

Room for More Women.

Women -who are dissatisfied with conditions, at home may find It to their advantage to emigrate to South Africa. There Is said to be a great demand for women in all sorts of work. Three hundred and fortyone women went within the year from tiie Unified Kingdom to Cape Town, most of them teachers, and all found employment.

This eagle la credited by the Indians with saving a man’s ttfe and Indirectly causing a doable murder, as well as participating in many of the tribal affairs of recent years. Two yoang Indian brothers fell In Jove with a beautiful maid of their race. The rivalry, existed for two years land finally one of them won the girl’s love, married her, and for months lived happily in the shadow of the cliff where the famed eagle’s nest was located. The disappointed brother proposed that they climb to the top of the mountain and secure eagle feathers. After reaching the brink it was agreed that the married brother, who was much the lighter, should be let down by a long rope to the nest As soon as he was lowered to the shelf the brother absme, dropped the rope, took his brother's bride and rode Avar, leaving his rival on the shelf es rock MO feet from the bottom and JOD feet from the tap, with no possible means of escape.

sunset wnen tne oia eagle came t/Oa.-r lanr down in front of the nest, and with a shrill scream swooped upon the unweloome visitor, burying ins talons in the face and neck of the young brave.

The jilted husband, not caring whether he lived or died, grasped the lags of the infuriated bird and plunged over the cliff. Down, down the bird and Its human passenger floated to the valley and landed within a few yards of the deserted tepee, the strugigling wings of the frightened eagle making the descent gradual. The big |eagle soared back to his home on the cliff; the young Indian mounted his horse.

Late that evening he caught up with the runaway couple and killed both. The ledge 900 feet from the bottom of the chasm and 100 feet from the top, on which the eagle made its nest for years, is one of the landmarks in the Colville Indian country.

HIS WIFE SO LARGE HE CAN’T HUG HER

She Sticks in Door of Marriage Clerk’s Office—Their Honeymoon on a Strong Train.

Albany, N. Y.—Mr. and Mrs. Peter Robinson are on their honeymoon, but the bridegroom will have, to forego at least one of the pleasures of the. newly married—that of embracing his blushing bride, for at best he can only reach around her thumb with his arm. The total weight of the bridal pair is 600 pounds and the wife is’ sixty-ninths of that. She weighs 600 pounds and her husband only 90. That a troublesome honeymoon and marriage career was in store for Peter Robinson was demonstrated before the wedding when he visited the office of the City Clerk to procure a marriage license, for he couldn’t get the bride-to-be through the door. Consequently she waited In the corridor and the clerk, John Carriere, obligingly went outside to ask the necessary questions. Mrs. Robinson formerly was Adeline La France, age 21. KoWnson gave his age as 36. In response to a question he admitted that mediation would be of slight avail if his spouse should decide to fall upon him. "The war would be over right away," he said. “Only there isn't going to be any war,”* and' he climbed on a chair and did his best to embrace ble wife. He got his arm around her thumb. , The loDsided weddtac was the result sd a romance m » .daSsfc. «hvw e»

AND ALSO IN INDIANA ( The 1914 primary voting in the six largest counties in Indiana, containing the cities «f Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, JBouth Bend, Gary, Terre Haute and Evansville, indicates how the Progressive party has gone to pieces in this state. Comparison between the Progressive Vote es 1912 and the Progressive primary vote of 1914 follows: 1912 Vote. 1914 PrimaryAllen 4,519 164 Vanderburg ■— 2,880 171 Lake - 5,659 66* St. Joseph 5,180 96# Vigo ( 5,172 150 Marion - 20,271 1,766 Recently the Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic) said: "Perhaps the clearest indication of what may happen at the next election is given by the recent primaries at Gary and Indiana Harbor, Ind., great industrial centers. The Progressives carried both of these steel towns in 1912. By reason of the mills being forced to close down or operate only part time, thousands of men have laid off. These cities may be taken as typical industrial centers. In the recent primary the Republicans received 90 per cent, of the vote of Gary, the Democrats 7 peg cent, and the Progressives 3 per cent. In Indiana Harbor the Republicans received 92 per cent, of the vote, the Democrats 6 per cent, and the Progressives 2 per cent.” _ __ Indiana has no state-wide primary law, but an optional county primary law is in operation. The result in the Indiana counties that have held primaries this year is in keeping with the general trend, showing remarkable Republican gains and corresponding Democratic and Progressive losses. The Lake County primary is typical. The figure follow: 1912 Election. 1914 Prihtary.

MAKES UNITED STATES MAP OF POSTAGE STAMPS

MaM Carrier Hat Accurate Outline «# Country in Unuaaal Piece of Work.

Atchison, Kan.—John Fortune, a postman of this town, has just completed a map of the United States, made entirely of oaaoeiiad postage stamps. The stamps are pasted on a canvas, five by nine and each stamp has been trimmed to fit those adjacent to it.

Stamps of various colon are used to designate the original thirteen States and the Territories obtained by purchase and annexation. In the center of the map Is a likeness of the American eagle with wings spread and an olive branch and a bundle of arrows grasped in Its talons. In the center of the State of Virginia is a oopy of the Declaration of Independence, bordered with stamps. The entire creation is surrounded by pictures of the Presidents as printed stamps, and the Canadian border Is made of stamps from that country. Fortune declines to state the number of stamps used In the construction of the map, as he intends to (ease it as a basis for guessing eontests. i

Origin of the "Black nano." There was a historical foundation for the name “J>lack hand,” according to Everybody’s. Back in Inquisition days in Spain there was La Mano Nera, a secret society which fought the government and he the church. If-passed, and the secret societies of southern Italy were Its heirs. Twenty years or more ago a false report was raised In Spain that La Mano Nera had been revived. The story lingered In the brain of a Herald reporter, and one fine day he attempted to rejuvenate waning Interest In a puzzling Italian murder case by speculating as to the coming to life of the ‘ black hand” among Latin Immigrants In America. The other newspapers seized on the idea eagerly and ffept It going.

STEAM OF BENEFIT TO SOI[?]

English Gardener* Make Use of Unique (Scheme to Destroy Insects—Aleo Increases Fertility.

For some jtime certain grower* of tomatoes, cucumbers and similar vegetables for the London market have been injecting steam into the soil with a view to destroying certain Insects and slugs, says Popular Electricity. It is reported that the plan works very well for that purpose, but the operation brought to light an unexpected fact; namely, that the soil thus treated increased greatly In fertility, so greatly, in fact, that the ordinary amount of manure cannot be used* ah terward.

This effect has been explained aabeing due to the sterilization produced by the steam, which kills the phagocytes or protozoa which In ordinary circumstances keep down the number of bacteria in the soli whose operations are beneficent in turning orgUb ic nitrogen Into a form suitable*toff plant food.
