They soon came to It on the roof and hovered about, it, doing much talking and con sulting together. - Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her' wing under ' it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male who fidgeted about coming to the little one, spreading his wings over it, then fly ing to a tree, when the female followed him and brought him bact and again slipped awing under the little one ' Finally be seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and, slipping his own-wing under, together they made a sort of cradlafor the bird ling, and, each flapping its free wing, 4hey flew to the tree, bearing it to a place of safety among the branches, where it was lost sight- of .Boston Christian Register. - ; " : 'Treatment F 8prl. . v! ; . ' The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the indulgence In athletic exercises of all kinds moves 'an au thority on the treatment of these pain ful accidents to say: A little common sense treatment is often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without com plications. It will swell very alarming ly , at first and gradually develop , a frightful looking bruise, but from the first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling' Is painful, and the cold later on. as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. - . For the first day of a strain, when all the" wrenched cartilage and mus cles are aching, great relief la found in a poultice of egg and salt - To make it, beat the white of an egg till light, but not'stiJT. ; Stir In gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more If needed, to make a thick, pastelike icing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage. In place. Cover ellTTith oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this has relieved the soreness, begin with hot water fomentations nnd wear a l:ght. firm bandage, except nt night.
