Trials OF Newspaper Men.

One of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that its members see
more of the shams of the world chan
any other profession. Through every
newspaper Office, day after day, go all
the vanities that want to be pulled; all the
revenges that want to be reaped; all the
mistakes that want to be corrected; all
the dull speakers that want to be thought
eloquent; all the meanness that wants to
get it's wares noticed gratis in the
editorial columns in order to save the
tax of the advertising columns; all the
men who want to be set right that never
were right; all the crack Drained philoso-
pliers with stories as long as their hair;
and all the bores who come to stay Eve
minutes but talk hours. Through the
editorial and reportorial rooms, all the
follies and shams of the world are seen
day after day, and the temptation is to
believe in neither God, man, or woman.
1t is no surprise to me that in this pro-
fession there are some skeptical men. I |
only wonder that Journalists believe any
thing.-De Wia Tatn,age.

RULES FOR NURSES.


/. For invalids, never make q large
quantity of one thing, as they seldom
require much at time, and it is desira-
BILE that variety be provided for them.
2. Always have something in readiness !;
a little beef-tea, nicely made and nicely
skinned, a few spoonfuls of jelly, etc.,
that it may be administered as soon al
most as the invalid wishes for it. Ii
obliged to wait a long time, the patient
loses the desire to eat, and often turns
against the food when brought to him or
her. 3. In sending dishes or prepare
tions up to invalids, let everything look
as tempting as possible. Have clean
cloth laid smoothly over the tray;
let the spoons, tumblers, cups and
saucers, etc., be very clean and bright.
f. Never leave food about q sick-room;
if the patient cannot eat it when brought
to him, take it away, and bring it to
him In an hour or two's time. Miss
Nightingale says: "To leave the pa
TENTS untasted food by his side, from
meal to meal, in hopes that he will eat
in the interval, is simply to prevent him
from taking any food at ALL" She
adds: 81 have known patients literally
incapacitated from taking one article of
food after another by this piece of igno-
rance. Let the food come at the right
time, and be taken away, eaten or IN
eaten, at the right time, but never
let a patient have something always
standing by him, If you don't
wish to disgust him with everything.
8. Never serve beef-tea or broth with
the smallest particle of fat or grease on
the surface. 1t is better, after making
either of these, to allow them to get
perfectly cold, when all the fat may be
as may be required. Two or three pieces
of clean Witty paper laid on the
broth will absorb any greasy particles
that may be floating at the top, as the
grease will cling to the paper. 6. Roast
mutton, chickens, rabbits, calves feet,
game, fish Simply dressed), and simple
buildings, are all light food, and easily
dlgested. OF course, these things are
only partaken of supposing the patient
is recovering. 7. A mutton chop, nice
ly cut, trimmed, and broiled to turn,
is dish to be recommended for inva-
lids; but it must not be served with all
the fat at the end, nor must it be too
thickly cut. Let it be cooked over a
fire free from smoke, and sent up with
the gravy in it, between two very hot
plates. Nothing is more disag
10 an invalid than smoked food. s. In |
making toast and water, never blacken
The bread, but toast it only nice
Drown. Never leave toast and water to
make until the moment it is required,
rs it cannot then be properly prepared
at least, the patient will be obliged to
rink it warm, which is anything but
agreeable. 8. In boiling eggs for in
'alids, let the whites be just set; if
,oiled hard, they will be likely to disa-
,ree with the patient.-Our Home

The Healthy Standard.

You ask a very practica. question.
Chow much should person of a given
height weights there a standard be-
tween height and weights" A healthy
child, male or female, grows in length
by more than one-half its size during
the first two years; it increases from 80
cent. (19.6S5 inches) to about 70 cent.
(31. 10 inches). 1t trebles or quadruples

4 xii. at birth equals u to 10 fbs.); 10

"On the average, a child (from 6
months to 8 years. grows in length about
g cent. each year equal 2.4622 inches):
the weight of the body goes on increas-
ing to the Sth year, rising in boys to 20

age of IL years, height of 1873 cent.

about 2 xii. % lbs. inweight year, girls

,hildren of both sexes weigh on the av-

He Was Irespassing.

She was young lady from Duck
water, and had enjoyed her visit to the
Base Range metropolis immensely. She
was pretty and piquant, and one of her
well-known gallants had done his level
best to make it pleasant for her during
her stay. The exciting cause of the fol-
lowing was an attempt on his part to
snatch a kiss from her pouting lips.
Then she arose in all the dignity OF Of
Tended maidenhood and said: "See
here. mister, jest don't set 'em too fresh.
You've done the handsome thing in cir
cuses, ice cream, candy and SIGH, but
you can't take no liberties. My Jake,

deed to the premises, and don't you for

and loud better hunt for a quarter Sec

can get better title and gather your

"In the 25th year, the man is l6S
cent. lover 81 feet in height. and weighs
60 xii. (l57} lbs. while the woman is
l57 cent. (5.15 feet in height, and
weighs So xii. Q27i lbs.). Man in the
10th year attains his maximum weight,
1876 xii. Q59 lbs. and then begins to
lose flesh. Women continue to grow
heavier, reaching about 56 xii. GAO
lbs. J, until the 50th year. Between 40
and 90, men become more corpulent and
women rapidly grow older; in both, the
size of the body diminishes. (Wag-
ner.)
It is desirable for all persons, whether
suffering in health or otherwise, to know
as near as possible what the normal
weight should be. We are indebted to
the late DIR. John Hutchinson for weigh
ing alone 1900 men at various ages.
There is indeed an obvious relation be-
tween the height and the weight he 80
pertinaciously weighed and measured;
starting with the lowest men III the
tables, it will be found that the increase
in weight was as nearly as possible 5
pounds for every inch in height beyond
81 inches.

tive height and weight of individuals

Religion in Russia.

The Russians are nation of church.
goers, early and late; and one-third of
the days in the year are feast-days They
have not yet learned that all days are
holy to the good man, and that TO him
life is one beautiful Sabbath. They
would be richer could they learn this.
Their multiplied church festivals are a
serious drawback to the industrial wealth
of the state ard to the income of the
laboring classes. But superstition is
stronger than the love of money. They
neglect home and business to keep a
feast. The feast of Elias is high day
with the Russians, who entertain the
belief that on that day Elijah rides in
his chariot, the thunder of whose wheels
is heard on earth, hence the saying, ct
always thunders on Elijah's day." When
the thunder is not heard the supposition
is the old prophet failed to take his &C
customed ride.
The Greek service is exceedingly i'm
posing. The officiating priests are robed
in gold, and the Bishops wear jeweled
tiaras. The church service consis rs of
hymns, prayer, scriptural readings, and
a sermon. The Old Testament is read
only during evening service, which is in
tended to be prophetic of the morning
service, wien the New Testament is read.
On great festivals there are imposing
PROFESSIONS with banners, and pictured
saints with clouds of incense and sweet
est music. There is in all this more
devotion than godliness. There is the
form without the power. Yet this is not
universal there are within the Russian
church many living Christians whose
lives are replete with deeds of charity
and acts of true worship. / met one

felon or whitlow by first probing the

The pain of the operation may be less

treatment is equally simple. The small

bolic acid, and bathed morning and even

SANITARY HINTS FOR THE SUMMER.


The heat of advancing summer, to-
gether with the moisture from frequent
rains and heavy dews, favors the in
creased production OF germs and gases
wherever decomposable matter is left ex-
posed. Nothing which can undergo pu-
trefactive decomposition should be al
lowed to remain within the vicinity of
any human habitation. In order to
avoid the bowel disturbances which an
nually begin in this month and prevail
during the two succeeding months, strict
attention must be paid TO the dietary.
Avoid all kinds of rich, greasy, or high
ly-seasoned food. Avoid foods, espe-
cially vegetables, which have become too
old, as sProuting potatoes. Especially
avoid unripe fruit. -Fanaity Heath An
