SHORT HINTS CONCERNING
SICKNESS.

-, Don't whisper in the sick
room. ....c -. .-.....
When the doctor comes to see
you, remember how many pairs of
stairs he has to climb every day,
and 60 down to him if you are
well enough.
When you are sitting up at night
with patient be sure to have
something to eat, if you wish TO save
yourself unnecessary exhaustion.
Remember that sick people are
not necessarily idiotic or i1nbecile,
and that it is not always wise to
try to persuade them that their suf
ferings are imaginary. They may
even at times know best what they
need.
Never deceive a dying person un-
less by the doctors express orders.
It is not only wrong to allow any
soul to go into eternity without
preparation, but how can you tell
but that he has something he ought
to tell or do before he goes away?
If you have sick friend to
whom you wish to be of use, do not
content yourself with sending her
flowers and jelly, but lend her one

of hers, of a bronze to replace the

Don't have needless conversations
with the doctor outside Of the sick
room. Nothing viii excite and irri-
tate a nervous patient sooner. If
you do have such conversations,
don't tell the patient that the doc
tor said nothing" BE won't be-
lieve you, and he viii imagine the
worst possible. ~
In lifting the sick, do not take
them by the shoulders and drag
them up on to the pillows, but get
some one to help you Let one
stand on one side Of the patient,
the other opposite, then join hands
under the shoulders and hips, and
Lift steadily and promptly together.

Do not imagine that your duty
is over when you have nursed your
patient through illness, and he is
about the house, or perhaps going
out: again Strength does not come
back in a moment, and the days
when little efforts exhaust, when

Laura Carlisle, stood where
scarcely q haHdozen women in the
room would have dared to stand,
directly uadar the blaze Of the chan
delier, her cheeks crimson with eS-
citemens her eyes bright IS the
Jewels which flashed in her brown
hair, her heavy garnet satin robes
sweep against, the simple muslin
dress of her cousin, Katy Carlisle,
who was as different from her as
the tender twilight from the bril-
liant noondsy:
Yet sweet Katy, even in that sim
pie dress, with eyes blue as the tur-
quoise sash which bound her slender
waist, was no less attractive than
her naughty cousin, and so thought
Floyd Laurence as he stood chat
ting with them. It was not lack Of
beauty which often cast Katy in the
shade but Katy was poor, and a
golden bait is soonest snapped at

'sOh; I do not think so much OF
a good family said Laura, who,
having heard that Floyd Laurence
belonged to one of the F. F. vs.
desired to create an impression
'Why, I wouldn't look at prince il
he did not come Of good
stock" -~----
princes are generally supposed
to do so, Laura" laughed Katy, a
mischie7ous twinkle coming into
her eyes as She met Floyd's glance.
'sOh, of course I mean if they
could do otherwise, y said Laura,
reddening with vexation st her mis-
take. And then, glad to change
the conversation she turned to Ma
ry West and began to make lnqul-
ries about some beautiful lace she
was wearing.
sI got it at Warburton's'' said
Mary, smiling.
"Oh, I must get some tomorrow,
if there is yard left" cried Laura.
4 shall be sure to be there right
away. Yes, that is our waltz, Mr..
laurence" and taking his arm, she
moved gracefully away.
"Hem-yes-they are pretty girls

soiloquized Floyd Laurence in his
own room that night. ':But Won

sweetly if she thought ! hadn't 8

!. WALKING EREcr.-Walking erect
not only adds to the manliness OF
appearance; but develops the chest
and promotes the general health in
"a high degree, because the lungs
being relieved of pressure made by
having the head downward and
bending the chest in, admit the air
freely.
If an effort of the mind is made to
throw the shoulders back a feeling
of tiredness and >awkwardness is
soon experienced, or it is soon for
gotten. The uses of braces to hold
up the bodyisnecessarily pernicious,
for there can be no brace which
does not press upon some part OF
the person more than is natural
hence cannot fail to impede injuri-
ously the circulation of that part.
But we're there none of these objec-
tons, the brace would soon adapt
itself to the bodily position, as a
new garment, and would then cease
to be a brace. ."
To maintain an erect position or
recover it when lost, in a manner
which is at once natural, easy
and efficient, it is only necessary
to walk habitually with the eyes fix.
ed on an object just ahead, a little
higher than your own-the caves OF
a house, the top of q mans hat, or
simply keep your chin a little above
q horizontal line, or it will answer
to walk with your hands behind
you.
If either of these things is done,
the necessary and legitimate effect
is to relieve the chest from pressure,
air gets in more easily, develops it
more fully, and permeates the
lungs more extensively, causing a
more perfect publication Of the
blood, imparting better health, more
color to the cheek, and compelling a
throwing out Of the toes. To derive
the highest benefit from walking,
hold up the head, keep the mouth
closed and move forward with a
quick step.

so he walked drearily back to his
sanctum, where he found seven
men, four of them perfect strangers
to him, occupying the chairs, poring
over the exchanges, reading the
proofs, and commenting thereon,
and making fun of his pet articles.
He sat down on the wood box and
tried to think up a leader for the
next days paper, and dropped a tear
as he recalled his boyhood's happy
days, and the time that would
elapse before the pirate, sitting on
his own particular arm chair, would
get through cutting the best things
out of the latest papers and putting
them in his hat. But be looked
out of the window and saw an ex-
patriated local trying to write up
his notes against the side of a brick
house on the other side of the street,
and he felt some gleam of comfort
from this company in his misery
and took courage.

is HELAIBOLD CRAZY?
SOME CRAZY MEN AND THE CRAzIEsT OF

We met DIR. 81. T. Helmbold, the

cordial salutation, "the public seem

impressions on the subiuct OF your
alleged Insanity"
''As for the matter of insanity"
responded the famous little doctor,
with a smile, ''every human being
is more or less insane on one idea
or several. A man can be insane
on a question of love, another
on question Of religion, a third
on one of worldly possessions, a
fourth on politics, and so on.

that you yourself are insane on

'Most decidedly"
"Cite some other instances OF

'Well now" began the great ad-

THE EXPIRING CRY OF THE
CARPET.BAGGER.

It was less than a year ago when
the veriest carpet:bagger Of them
ali could call upon the Federal Ad-
ministration for troops, ,sndget them,
oo,without question or explanation.
The drum-tap Of the marching regi-
.ment was the quick reply to the car
pet-bagger's demand, and the drum
tap and the tramp of the troops was
echoed throughout the South
Those were the golden days Of the
carpet-bagger but they were nigh
on to their end then, and one of the
last outrages they Witnessed was
the electl on to the Gubernatioral
chair of Mississippi of that chief
of carpet-baggers, Adelbert Ames.
He was and is Governor of Missis-
sippl by grace OF 80 call for troops,
and by the same means of grace he
desires to continue to hold the
reins of power in that State.
But this is not a good time to
start anew the wheels Of the carpet
baggers' outrage mill, or to call for
troops. There has been remarka-
bic change in public opinion since
Adelbert Ames was hoisted in the
Gubernatorial chair of Mississippi
on the point of Federal bayonets.
Mr.. Attorney General Williams,
of Oregon, was chief engineer OF
the outrage factory then and he
kept it's wheels going by lubricating
them With stmore troops" whenever
la carpet-bagger suggested the
wheels were squeaking. But MIR.
Williams is not chief engineer any
more. He has retired to his native
wilds Of Oregon, and in his place
sits, wisely conscious Of his respon-
sibility to interpret justly his eoun'
try's laws an honest gentleman and
learned lawyer, sone Pie1repont.
Attorney General Pierrepont was
appointed to the Office he noW holds
not only because OF. professional fit
ness, but that his high character
should stand as rebuke to, and
a protest against, the dishonest,
disgraceful and ignorant maladnnin m
istration Of his immediate prede-
cessor. The,outrage mill, the inso-
lent demands, and the prompt com.
pliance with those demands fo1
troops by the usurping scarpetrbag
gers Of the South, are things Of the
past, and though they we're in full
operation less thah q year ago, it
seems almost impossible to believe
that they ever received the sanction
of the government. They were
wrongs without excuse; being so,
they were condemned by the hon
esty of the whole nation, and there
should be no more hope Of their
revival than there is chance OF the
political resurrection of Landaulet

AN EDITOR ON A RAMPAGE.

Once upon a time an editor, after
revolving in his weary mind a few
of the wearing problems which are
the mysteries of his singular pro-
fession, left the seclusion Of his Office
and sailed forth into the busy world
to DO among men as he was done
by. He had long years ago been
disabused of any impression which
might have haunted his mind that
he knew anything about editing a
paper, for every man who came into
his Office knew more about thatbus-
mess than the unfortunate editor
did, and never scrupled to tell him
so. But the poor man thought it
would be a very agreeable and pl leas-
ant thing to do as others did, and
it was for the purpose of following
general custom that he went out on
! this beautiful day so long ago.
The sun was shining brightly, the
dull distant hum of insect life in
the adjoining country came to his
ears; birds were singing, and so
serene and peaceful was the aspect
of nature that it seemed impossible,
in such bright, beautiful world,
there could be such misery, wretch
edness, wickedness and total deprav-
ity. But there was all the same,
for there was the. editor. to prove
| it.
He went into the Office of a law
yer with whom he was slightly ac-
quainted, and, seating himself in a
chair, put his feet on the desk and
began whistling .Silver Threads
Among the Gold" in a loud tone of
whistle. The attorney looked as
tonished, and asked what his visit
or wanted. He said nothing, but
took a bundle Of papers from a pig
con hole and began 70 1oohottahem
| over and read aloud. When he
got through, the indignant lawyer
took his visitor by the neck and
gently but firmly kicked him down
stairs. .... 49,. 49,.

and went limping on his way, 'that
