Hints to Those Calling Upon the Sick.

l. Only call at the door, unless you
are sure your friend is able to see you
without harm.
2. Enter and leave the house, and
move about the room quietly.
3. Garry cheerful face, and speak
cheerful words.
4. In order to cheer, you need tell no
les.
5. If your friend is very sick, do not
fall into gay and careless talk in the at
tempt to be cheerful.
6. Don't ask questions, and thus
oblige your friend to talk.
z. Talk about something outside, and
not about the disease and circumstances
of the patient.
8. Tell the news, but not the list of
the sick and dying.
9. If possible, carry something with
you to please the eye and relieve the
monotony of the sick room; flower, or
even a picture which you can loan for
few days.
10. If desirable, some little delicacy
to tempt the appetite will be well be-
slowed; but nothing could be a more
complete illustration of mistaken kind
ness than the common custom of tempt
ing sick persons to eat such unwhole-
some things as rich cakes, preserves,
sweetmeats, etc.
IL. Stay only moment, or few
minutes at the longest, unless you can
be of some help.

Is Corn Smut Dangerous2

To thoroughly test the matter the
Kansas State Board Of Agriculture en-
ployed their chemist to carefully ana
lyze it in search of poison. The result
was that no deadly element whatever
was found IN it; neither was there any
deleterious material generated by the
fungus, as in the case of rye, where
ergot-a most powerful narcotic-was
produced. In further proof of this we
find in the report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture for 1871 an account of
smut being regularly fed to two COWS.
One was fed thrice daily one and one
half pounds of corn meal and three
ounces of smut mixed with as much cut
hay as she would eat. The second had
the same allowance, but wet. On the
9TH of March the amount of smut given
in each feed was increased to six
ounces. The COW fed on dry feed lost
flesh. On the 18th of March the dose
of smut was increased to twelve ounces
alone. Another professor has said:-
Give me mercury, iodine, guinine and
the lancet, and will combat with di-
sease.' While L do not altogether in
dorse the views of these distinguished
professors, either in the number or Sc
lection OF medicines they would choose
first in preference to all others, Iwould
say give me as my first choice aconite
and iron in connection with the opium
and few others and l should feel that
was fitted out with the most import
ant drugs for the successful treatment
of the disease of the horse. We give
formula for sedative wash fer sore
eyes caused by a stroke of a whip,
cold, blow or from some foreign sub
stance gathering in and irritating the
eye: Laudanum, two drachms; extract
of belladonna, one drachm; water, one
pint; mix and wash. Teller says
4" Should the inflammation or the injury
be so severe that it has involved the
inner structures of the eye. great ad-
vantage will be derived from smearing
the eyebrows and outside of the eyelids
with extract of belladonna, one ounce;
honey, One-half ounce; mix well togeth-
er and apply as an ointment"

Anecdote of Queen Victoria.

The Queen was not twenty years of
age when she assembled the throne.
Coming into possession of power with
a heart fresh, tender and pure, and
with all her instincts inclined to mercy,
we may be sure that she found many
things that tried her strength of resolu-
ton to the utmost. On bright, beau
tiful morning the young Queen was
waited upon at her palace at Windsor,
by the Duke of Wellington, who had
brought from London various papers
requiring her signature to make them
poerative. One of them was sentence
of court martial pronounced against a
soldier of the line-that sentence that
he be shot dead. The Queen looked
upon the paper, and,then looked upon
the wondrous beauties that nature had
spread to her view. "What has this
man doneP" she asked. The Duke
looked at the paper, and replied, "Ah,
my Royal Mistress, that man, fear, is
incorrigible, He has deserted three
times" "And can you not say any
thing in his behalf, my LordP' We'll
lington shook his head. "Ol think
again, l pray your Seeing that Her
Majesty was so deeply moved, and feel
sure she would not have the man

AdHics to "Onira y Sinpara

This is an important epock into your
life. The 1st thing to make a good
quire singer is to giggle little.
Put up your hair in Girl papers every
Friday mite soze to hav-it in good shape

rich you can buy some store hair. If he
IL very rich buy some more store hair
and build it high upon your head; then
git high priced bunnit that runs up
very high, at the high part of it, and git
the milliner to plant some high grown
artatishels on to the highest part Of it.
This will help you sing high, as So
phrano is the highest part.
When the tune is give out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giggle. Gig
gle a good eel.
Whisper to the girl next to you that
En- Jones, which sets on the I'd sect
from the front on the left-hand side,
has her bunnit with the same color
exact she had it last year; and then
put up your book to your face and gig

Object to every tune unless there is
solow into it for the sophrano. Coff
and ham good eel before you begin to
sing.
When you sing solow shake the
artafishels off your bunnet, and when
you come to a high tone brace yourself
back little, twist your head to one
side and open your mouth the widest
on that side, shet the eye on the same
side triple, and then put in for dear
life.
When the preacher gifts under he'd
wey with his preacher, write a note
unto the blank leaf into the fourth part
of your note book. That's what the
blank leaf was made for. Git sumbody
to pass the note to somebody else, and
you watch them while they read it, and
then giggle.
If anybody talks or laffs in the con-

The BlaYatskY Express.

A certain Countess Blavatsky has il
appears, been doing some marvellous
feats in India as spiritualist medium.
The Indian police were disposed at first
to look upon her and her companion of
so-called Thcosophical party as a
number of Russian spies; but if the
trick which she has contrived to play
with glove does not convince them
that the Countess herself is at any rate
a far more extraordinary person than
any spy, they must be very sceptical
people. The story itself, like other
wonders in the same scientific field,
reads almost like hoax; but sober
letter from =" Barrister, son of q well.
known Liberal M. P.,'' in the Standard
shows that to him at least the affairs is
serious enough. According to the In
dian papers, the Countess brought with
her from England a pair of gloves. On
the 18th of February also a pair of
gloves was seen by Colonel Alcott in
Bombay. About this there isno question,
and the Countess informed the Colonel
that she had been requested by an En-
glish barrister, President of the British
Theosophical Society and son of a Lib
eral M. p. whose name is well known
throughout India'-the gentleman who
writes to the Standard, in short-to
send him one of these gloves imme-
diately on her arrival, in order to inn
prove his fathers eyesight. The scene
changes to London. On the same day
the barrister found a telegram at his
chambers in the Temple from q lady
medium in London, saying that her
esprit" had received a message from
Nine. Blavatsky in Bombay. Needless
to say that this message was the
glove sent off from Bombay that very
day, with {" the well-known signature
on the inside of the kid and less known
and less decipherable symbols above
it" 1t was received by the gentleman
full in the face in darkened room and
he now gives evidence that he is quite
satisfied that the transition of the glove
was effected by the Countess Blavatsky
in Bombay and the less powerful
medium in London between them.
Earnest seekers after truth in Bombay
have begged the Countess Blavatsky to
send home their overland trunks by the
same route, offering any reasonable
price for the accommodation. So far,
however, she has accepted no contract;
though we believe this is only ques-
ton of terms--at least that seems to be
the opinion of the Indian papers. Pail

Edith Freeman's Murder,

1t was announced this morning that
Mrs. Freeman was dying, and investi-
CATION shows that the probabilities are
that she will live short time only.
She is weeping and starving herself to
death, although she does not seek to
commit suicide. Confined alone in the
cell on the upper floor of the barn-like
building, she has, since the first Sunday
after the killing of Edith, wept constant
ly day and night. She has tried to eat,
believing that it was her duty to do so,
but IN the ten days of her imprison-
ment she has eaten less than would
make an ordinary meal. When the
Sunday passed and her little girl was
not resurrected, as she firmly believed
she would be, Mrs. Freeman at once
admitted that she and her husband had
made an awful mistake, and with this
knowledge the maternal instinct that
pleaded so strongly in prayer that her
child might be spared, has returned.
She said that she could not have con-
sented to the sacrifice had she not firm
ly believed that Edith would be re-
stored to life on the third day. She
also says that it was revealed to her
husband thirty-six hours before the
sacrifice that Edith's immolation was
demanded. He went to the barn and
prayed for hours that God would take
the cup from him, and she at length
went to the barn and, kneeling on the
hay beside her husband, put her arm
around his neck, and both of them
prayed to be spared the necessity of do
ing the act, but they got no peace until
they determined to do it. Her sorrow
is most distressing now. She is in en-
tire possession of her reasoning facul-
ties, and the jailer's wife thinks that it
would be mercy if she could be bereft
OF reason. She moans, go, my little
darling Edie, my darling child, how
could God have permitted us, who
loved Him so and tried to follow Him,
to do such a wrong;" and then she
bursts into the most passionate Sob
bing that lasts for hours. The seraphic
look that was on her face when she was
brought before the Justice is gone. Her
face has wasted, leaving her cheek
bones prominent and both are bright
red with hectic flush which indicates
fever. Her otherwise white face and
bloodless lips, and her great eyes that
are red with weeping, her tottering
step, and her inability to eat or sleep,
are regarded as indications that very
soon the reserve nervous strength will
be exhausted and that she will rapidly
decline. Her love for the baby and
her remorse have overshadowed her re-
ligious faith.
Her husband knows nothing of this.
He is perfectly self-eontained and con-
tented, and eats and sleeps well, still
confident that God commanded the act.
He has been reading " Fremones Ex-
plorations. He said to-day to the San.
correspondent that he did not want any
pettifoggers to defend him for notoriety,
but that if an eminent lawyer of Bos,
ton or New York would take his case
and conduct the defense on the princi-
pies of the right of every man to follow
the honest convictions of his conscience,
he would accept such defense.
Justice Hopkins, in his verdict given as
Coroner and filed to-day, says tha1

Jenny Lind in Old Ara.

And before l quit the theme of song
and of singers, let me mention a glimpse
that caught before leaving London of
the celebrities of the past. On leaving
the home OF Nine. Albani, l crossed the
street to look at the dwelling of Jenny
Lind. The house stands back from the
street, and q garden, that must in sum-
mer be very bouquet of flowers and
verduro, extends in front of it. A bust of
the great singer, life-sized and in mar
BILE, stands in large bay window that
fronts the garden. And beside the bust
sat an elderly lady in white mob cap
and white cashmere shawl, engaged in
partaking of the afternoon cup of tea
that forms so prominent feature in
English social life. She was talking to
some one in the room, and as she turned
TO the window saw again the face that
L had last looked upon, crowned with
roses and lighted with inspiration, on
the stage of Tripler Hall, twenty-eight
long years ago. Under the disfiguring
cap, the fair hair, now plentifully
streakcd with gray, was seen rolled
back in precisely the same fashion as
that which set all the girls in America
to twisting back their tresses in those
by-gone years. IN other respects Jenny
Lind has greatly changed. Few could
have recognized in the pale, worn line
aments of the elderly lady the well nigh
angelic cOuntenance of the greatest
singer of our day and generation. l
permitted myself but one glance, not
wishing to violate even by look the
sanctity of that tranquil home. | am
told that Madame nd-Goldschmidt,a as
she styles herself, is very eccentric and
peculiar. She still interests herself in
music, being the leader of the Bach
Choir, private association, to which
some of the first ladies of London be-
long; and so severe is she in her re-
quirements, and so strict in demanding
their fulfillment, that her high-born
pupils are often tempted to rebel. Her
eldest daughter had an extremely
pleasing voice, and it is said that Jenny
Lind for a time cherished the hope of
seeing her own artistic glories revived
in her child. But, unfortunately, the
young lady had neither inherited her
mothers genius nor her ardent pas
sion for art. She was indolent, and
would not study; so that hope is at an
end. Probably it is as well. From all
that could hear, it appeared that her
voice was in nowise one of exceptional
power and beauty. And to have been
the daughter of Jenny Lind and to
achieve only moderate success, would
have been result by no means envia-

OUT IN THE STORM,

She stood with the open letter in her
hand, trembling and ashen-pale, and at
last had to clutch at the nearest chair
to keep herself from falling.
" 1t is all overr' she cried, after n
while, putting her hand to her fore
head with dazed look; "all overall
over! And yet, o, how | loved himr'
The matter between Lydia Trentham
and Leonard Drake had been a run
away one. Her family was richer than
his, and ambitious that she should
make great alliance, for she was
beautiful and accomplished, and had
such a charming manner that every
body raved about her. When, there
fore, she. fell in love with Leonard
Drake, who had but a comparatively
small competence, and no business
knowledge whatever, her father angrily
bade her to dismiss such a lover for
ever from her thoughts. But with
LYDIA, as with most romantic girls,
this stern decree acted only as an adj
ditlonal incentive. She thought her
father unjust, and went on loving
Drake more than ever. Finally she
eloped. From that day her parents
looked on her as on the dead.
9 She has made her bed, let her lie in
it, y said her father, savagely.
There had been only one cloud on
the happiness of the wife. She had
come to her husband penniless when
he had right to expect a fortune and
she feared that some day he might re-
greet his choice. All at once, like a
thunderbolt out of a clear sky, came
the crushing blow which DESTROYED her
happiness in one hour.
In his bachelor days, and before he
met Lydia Trentham, Leonard Drake's
name had been associated with beauti-
ful girl, who afterwards married Mr..
Dorchester, banker. People said she
had never loved him, but that her
heart had been given to Leonard
Drake; that Leonard had really loved
her, and that Miss Bentley had only
taken the rich banker "because," as
she said, " Leonard and herself were
too poor TO marry"
Lydia, at the time, hearing these
things had not been without jealousy;
but the entire devotion ofLeonard had
in the end. satisfied her; and for wears
she had forgotten even the existence of
Mrs. Dorchester.
