Hints Concerning Sickness.

Don't whisper in the sick.room.
When the doctor comes to see you,
remember how many pairs of stairs he
has to climb every day, and 90 down to
him if you are well nnough.
When you are sitting up at night with
patient, DO sure to have something to
eat, if you wish to save yourself unnec-
essary exhaustion.
Remember that sick people are moi
necessarily idiotic or imbecile, and that
it is not always wise to try to persuade
them that their sufferiugs ara imaginary
They may even at times know best whp
they need.

A Remarkable Professional
Success.

Among the notable professional men
of this country who have achieved extra
ordinary success is DR.. r. " Pierce, of
Buffalo, N, Y. The prominence which
he has attained has been reached through
strictly legitimate means, and, so far,
therefore, he deserves tho enviable repu-
tation which he enjoys, This large
measure of success is the result of q
thorough and careful preparation for his
calling, and extensive reading during a
long and unusually large practice, which
have enabled him to gain high common
dation, even from his professional brcth'
ren, Devotipg his attention to certain
specalties of the science he has so care
fully investigated, he has been rewarded
in remarkable degree. In these special
ties he has become a recognized loader
Not few Of the remedies prescribed by
him have, it is said, been adopted ant
prescribed by physicians in their private
practice. His pamphlets and larger work.
have been received as useful contribution
to medical knowledge lie has recently
added another, and perhaps more import
ant work, because of moro general appli
cation, to the list of his published writ
ings. This book, entitled "Thc People
Common Sense Medical Adviser" is de
signed to enter into general circulation
DR.. Pierce has received acknowledgment
and honors from many sources, and es
pecially scientific degrees from two ofth
first medical institu ions in the land.

Soil or Compost for Hot-beds

The finest soil for hot bed use is leaf
mould from the woods, with perhaps q
little Of the soil scraped up with it, es.
pecially if it be of a sandy loan, and all
sifted through quarter inch seive to
remove sticks and trash, Even when
other compost is used, and also for open
air seed beds, still mould is excellent
for the covering Of the seeds, as it is not
apt to form crust, but remains open
and pervious to the tender plantlets.
But only few are SO fortunate as to
have an abundance of this, and will do
well to make compost heap of old sods
from sandy loan, and an equal quan.
tity of manure in alternate layers, and,
if possible, give it all the house wash, or
at least enough OF water to keep it damp.
When rotted down from one to four
years. it should be shoveled over and
sifted and it is ready for use. Sand
should be added in the sitting, if the soil
did not naturally possess enough to make
it light. But this demands time, and
often somo substitute must be provided
for immediate use. Rich bottom land
with one quarter its bulk of fine rotten
manure, thoroughly worked over with
such additions Of sand as may be needed
to keep it loose and light, can be made
to answer good use

The Cholera q Periodical Epi-
demic.

The year 1856 marks the recognition
epidsmics, connected with the great
twelve yearly Hindoo festivals at the
great temples. The great twelve, yearly
epidemics Of 1856, 176s and 17s1, have
been well described by Paisley and
others. Three times twelve or thirty..iI
years subsequently, the great historical
epidemic of 1917 occurred. This cpl.
demic and that of 1871 were distinctly
Juggernaut.pilgrim choleras. In 1926
the 6rst indications of another pestilence
appeared in the north of India; epidemic
cholera broke out at Hurdwar, the great
place Of pilgrimage at the source of the
Ganges, where it first issues from the foot
CT the Himalaya Mountains. A few hun
dred thousand pilgrims 90 to Hurdwar

more every sixth and ninth year, and full

and a vaster number every sixtieth year.
The cholera Of 1926 was carried all over
the world. In New Orleans alone, out

The LAST great twelve.yearly epidemic
commenced in India in 1865, and reach
ed the United States in 1866. If this
periodical theory is correct the next
cholera epidemic will be a Juggernaut
one in 1877, supplemented by a Hurd-
war cholera in 1879; although the con.
slant intercourse of Russia with Central
Asia NAV be the means of introducing a
lesser epidemic into Europe. But in

The Great Organs of the
World.

The largest organ in the world is in
Albert Hall, London, and was built by
Henry Willis, in 1870. 1t contains 1873
stops, four manuals and nearly ten thou.
sand pipes, all of which are of metal.
The wind is supplied by steam power.
Thirteen couplers connect or disconnect
the various subdivisions of the organ at
the will Of tho performer. The organ at
st. Georges Hall, Liverpool, also built
by Mr.. Willis, has one hundred stops
and four manuals. That of St. Sulpice,
Paris, is Of the same magnitude, and has
i've thousand stops. The largest organ
in America is in the Music Hall, Bos.
ton, built by Walckor, of Ludwigsburg ;
it has four manuals eighty.nine stops,
and four thousand pipes. The other i'm
portant organs in this country are by
American builders, and are as follows

a Japanese journal warns its country
men against giving too great latitude to
women, as is the practice among Euro.
peans and Americans. 1t observes "In
going through door the wife passes first
the husband following her; the wife
takes the best seat, and the husband the
next best. In visiting the wife is first
saluted and first mentioned. Moreover
men are expected to be particular in
their conversation while in the company
of ladies, and are not permitted to smoke
without their permission. 1t is well tc
take these things into consideration, OIL
the power of the sex will be beyond

Sunset on the Bearcamp.

A gold fringe on the purpling hem
Of hills the river runs,
AS down the long green valleys falls
The last Of summers suns.
Along its tawny gravel-bed
Broad-0owing, swift and still,
As if the meadow levels felt
The hurry Of the hill,
Noiseless between its banks Of green
From curve to curvo it slips;
The drowsy maple shadows rest
Like fingers on its lips.
waif from Carols widest hills,
Unstoried and unknown
The ursine legend of its name
Prowls on its banks alone.
Yet flowers as fair its slopes adorn
As ever Yarrow knew,
Or, under rainy Irish skies,
By Sponsors Mula grew;
And through the gaps of leaning trees
Its mountain cradle shows
The gold against the amethyst,
Tho green against the rose.
Touched by light that hath no name,
glory never sung,
Aloit on sky aud mountain wall
Arc Gods great pictures hung.
How changed tho submits vast and old!
No longer granite browed,
They melt in rosy mist; the rock
Is softer than the cloud;
The valley holds its BREATH no leaf
Of all its elss is twirled:
Tho silence of eternity
Seems falling on the world.
The pause before tae breaking seals
of mystery is this;
Yon miracle plny of night and day
Makes dumb its witnesses.
What unseen altar crowns the hills
That reach up stair on stair
What eyes look through, what white wings fan
These purple wells of air
What Presence from tho heavenly heights
To those of earth stoops down.
Not vainly Icllas dreamed Of gods
On ldas snowy crown

And over all the valley-land
A gray-wngcd vapor sails.

Beyond the years Of time.

Too soon their wintry frown,

FEMALE NAvIGAToR.-A V

A FEMALE NAvIGAToR.-A vessel
which arrived at this port last Friday
brought intelligence that the bark Re
becca Crowell, which left New York on
March 6, for Buenos Ayres, became dis
abled during a severe gale, three days
after leaving here. Several of the spars
and sails were carried away and the Cap
tain and first mate were injured to
such an extent that they were confined
to their berths throughout the rest of
the voyage, and rendered incapable of
managing the vessel. There was no
other person on board except the Cap
tain S wife who understood navigation,
and she undertook the task Of conduct
ing the bark to its point of destination.
The second mate was a young man 20
years old, able to take the helm, but ig-
norant of the process of making obser-
vations.
The woman then assumed the COM
mand of the vessel, boxed the compass,
took observations, ascertained the lati-
tude and longitude, maintained her place
upon the bridge, and directed the course
Of the vessel. After exercising control
for ffty-eight days, during which the
vessel encountered violent gales and
shipped heavy seas, the Captains wife,
worn out and exhausted with her labors,
conducted the--.vessel with its valuable
cargo, safely into the port OF Buenos
Ayres. A purse was made up for her
on her arrival.
