Short 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 GO
down to him if YOU are well enough.
When you are sitting up at night
with patient, be sure to have some.
thing to eat, if you wish to save your
self unnecessary exhaustion.
Remember that sick people are no,
necessarily idiotic or imbecile, and
that it is not always wise to try to
persuade them that their sufferings
are imaginary. They may even at
times know best what they need.
Never deceive adying person unless
by the doctors express orders. 1t 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 be
fore 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 your pic
lures to hang in place of hers, or a
bronze to replace the one ut which
she is so tired of staring.
Don't have needless conversations
with the doctor outside of the sick
room. Nothing will excite and irri-
tate nervous patient sooner. If you
do have such conversations don't tell
the patient that the doctor said "noth-
ing" He won't believe you, and will
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 prompt
ly together This method is easy for
those who lift, and does not disturb
the one who is lifted.
Do not imagine that your duty is
over when you have nursed your
patient through his 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 things worry and little efforts
exhaust, when the cares Of business
begin to press, but the feeble brain
and hand refuse to think and execute,
are the most trying to the sick one,
and then comes the need for your
tendcrcst care, your most unobtrusive
watchfulness.-"Home and Society,"

Wonderful WoOd-Sawyers.

They tell of some extraordinary
Cincinnati wood-sawyers. Old Mr.
Crabapple is very much pleased with
a gentleman whom he has engaged
to saw wood. "When he piles the
wood" said old Crabapple to his
friend, eff one stick projects beyond
the other he pounds it in with the AK. .
"He's y slouch." replied old man
Stubble; "you should see my wood
sawyer. When he gets the wood all
piled he takes off the rough project
ing ends with a claw-hammer saw
"Does he? Well he couldn't pile
wood for me-" broke in old Spiken
berg; "my sawyer piles the wood
carefully, then goes over the ends
with jackplane, sandpapers them
dawn, and puts on coat of varnisl
before he thinks of asking for his
pay" Then they all went into the
Grand Hotel before Syntax could tell
how his wood-sawyer silver-plated
all the ends OF the wood, and nailed
a handle on each and every stick to
pick it up by.

An Assistan Conductors Wife

Oh, she was an "A. l Conneaut
belle, Of the "very first water," OF
more; and she married regular fine
haired "swell'' who clerked in dry
goods store. And he clerked and he
clerkcd, till at last he fell into trouble
with some of the money; and they
went out West in 4 way, folks tell
not particularly funny. And, after q
time, the belle came home, the old
folks for to see; and the neighbors
asked, when they found she'd come
what her husbands biz might be

The Village Barber.

He thought he recognized me the

fused to encourage him IN that belief.
1t was strange town to me; all the
people were strangers, and l was so
far from home that l doubted if man,
woman or child IN that locality had
ever met me before.
The barber smiled tenderly as he
pointed to the char, and then led
right off as familiarly as if he had
shaved me every day for month
past. While mixing the lather he
remarked OH the weather, the crops,
the panic, the lost balloonists, and

A black man, with sober vlsage
and white cravat, arrived in Boston
the other day, and went straightway
over to Charlestown. Solemnly he
marched to the foot of Bunker Hill
monument, and took off his hat in its
shadow. Then he called out in q
loud voice, civilian Gravesw and
answered himself, "Here!' and then
he said, "But am free man, by the
grace of God and the proclamation
of the martyr President" He used
to be slave of Robert Toombs in
Georgia, and he had come all the way
to Bunker Hill to get off this little
sarcasm on his old masters wild

THE REAPERS,
Chambers Journal.

Chambers Journal.
The reapers bend their lusty backs;
Their sounding aickles sway;
At every stroke the golden sea
Recedes to give them sway;
The heavy ears fall bowing down,
And nestles at their feet.
Such WILL such work as theirs perforCe,
Must win-must homage meet.
So careless of fatigue they go,
So true, so steady,
The admiring traveller on the road
Leans DER the gate to see;::
With marvel of the soon-fallen breath.
The lounging gossips tell;
But the reapers labor for us all;
'Tis need they should work we'll
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
And the children's poppy noscgays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field.
And the farmer drains sprinkling glass,
Rejoicing DER the yield.
Ply, bonny men, your sickles bright
And give the people bread!
At every conquering strike you take,
On want and woe you tread
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from this plain,
That man may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands, all hard and brown
That guide the cleaving plow,
That cast abroad the shining seed
And build the wealthy NOW;
They rear the bread our children eat:
Tis by their toll we live;
Hurrah! give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can give!

The investigation was resumed last
night by recalling Mr.. j. W. Johnston,
the accountant for the Council Commit
tee, who testified that before the con-
tract tor building the Eden reservoir, the
work had cost the city IS 50 perch,
which he considered cheaper than giving
the work to Barger, and the city furnish
testified that the floating debt carried
over by the Works from 1878 to 1874 was
between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Put Ward, a water rent collector
in 1850, testified that at that time
everything was correct in the manage
ment of the Works, and he knewsof no
Irregularities now; was with Barger
when he was served with written no.
tlce by Snelbaker to stop work on the
Eden reservoir; Barger said he thought
somebody wanted to make money out OF
him, but mentioned no names; Wesley
Cameron told him that Quinn and Smell
baker had held loaded pistol at Red
mond's head to make him retract some-
thing, and said that Henry Bowman,
Water-works Trustee, was his inform
ant; Barger had told him that he had
been approached by Redmond, and that
he had a witness to the conversation.
MIR. Henry Pearce testified in regard
to the letting OF the Kilgour contract
that most OF the bids had been sent out
in blank form. The Moore bid was for
six months, and the Kilgour bid, he
thought, was for five months, although
he could not say positively as to whether
all the bids specified the time or not.
The estimates were made by Messrs.
Richards and Scowden,, engineers, but
the work cost a great deal more than
was estimated, owing to the fact that the
n do I'M Sr
for much heavier castings than was at
first contemplated. $4,000 Of the re-
served 20 per cent. had been granted to
Kilgour in order to induce him to hurry
up the contract; but when 1t became ap-
parent that kiigour would not finish the
work the Board completed it, rather than
enter into long and tedious law suit
with Kilgour- such as the Newport
Water-works Trustees now have on hand
with him. Did not know that condemned
pipe from st. Louis had been brought
here and laid down on Martin street.
Knew that the pipe came from the Gay
lord Pipe Company, but could not say as
to where they got 1t. When the work on
the new reservoir was stopped 1t was
the determination to cancel the debt Of
the Works before 1t was proceeded with.
Thought the debt Of the Works could
have been paid off in two years without
any new reservoirs or extensions, and
thought the work on the new reservoir
very creditable to the present Trustees.
Conrad Zorb was recalled and stated
that he had seen several raised bills, all
of them in Kramer's district, the in
crease on which had never been report
cd at the Office or entered on the books.
Mr.. Paul Reinlein, former Trustee Of
the Water-wOrks, testified that the
records prove that Kllgour was bound
to finish his contract within five months.
The reservoir contract was awarded to
Barger because he was the lowest bid
der. Knew of no Irregularities in the
Water-works office.
