What Not to Do for sick PeOple.

Don't make a fuss. Don't hustle,
don't fidget, don't prognosticate. Don't
hold consultations in or about the pa
TENTS room, recounting all your own
and your neighbors experiences in
what you suppose to have been like
cases. Don't NEEDLE and advise and
experiment. We all need great deal
more letting alone than ne get, and
when we are sick it is one of our prime
needs. II mortuary lists were honestly
tabulated, we should find that more
people have been bored to death than
have died from neglect. The pest of the
sick room is the inevitable friend who
drops in to I" cheer up" the patient. the
glist enlng eyes and flashed cheeks which
such ministrations evoke being hailed as
evidences of success by the well. mean.
ing persec utor. Don't tease the patieut
with questions about food or drink,
but present the proper quantity at suit
able intervals; and if one article is
found to be disagreeable, quietly sub.
stitute another without remark. Don't
think because the patient declines nour-
ishment that it becomes less necessary
to administer it. By quiet. firm, method
ical persistence in presenting food at
stated periods, objections will become
feebler, and cease in selfdefense. Solid
food need not be insisted upon, unless
by special direction OF the physician;
but milk and beef tea should never be
omitted. Don't shut out the pure air
and sunshine. The physician will exer-
else his skill in vain if wholesome food,
pure air and peace do not abet his
efforts.
REFINEMENT OF LIFE-Excessive
economy, and total disregard of the
refnements of life, make nau hateful
to his friends. 1t is his duty to make
his home bright and attractive. If he
lives in the country, he can have beauty
both inside and out. There is nothing
that enhances the appearance of house
more than o neatly kept la vn or taste
fully laid.out flower garden. "But it
takes too much time! the careless man
objects. What good does it DOE" In
such answers we see merely disregard
of the refnemen!s of life. Such re-
plies cannot be supported by reason.
Is it too much bother" to have ones
floor carpeted? Does it take "too
much time" to set neat, inviting table
for the daily meals? The orderly aud
even beautiful appearance of the grounds
about the home is, to our way of think
ing, of just as much importance as or
derliness or beauty in any other part
of the homestead or farm. Spring is
coming; bid her welcome. The weedy,
unkept plots Of ground may now be
turned into things of beauty, and SO
maintained for no more expense than is
required to maintain the tidy room, the
clean carriage, the Sunday dress ups
and the ordinary marks OF u regard for
"decency" which we have called refine
ments OF home.''

CURIOUS INTERMITTENT SPRING IN
GUATEMALA.-Mons de Thiersant,
Charge a Affaires of France in Guate
mala, gives in ella Nature" the fol-
lowing account of phenomenon Wit
messed by him in the last named coun-
try. At about ten miles from the CAPT
tai, near town called Mel on the
lowest declivities of the volcano of San
Salvador, there is a spring known in the
country under the name of Rio Huido
(aeeting river, which, for period OF
seven years, furnishes water enough to
form true river. The waters OF this
spring are crystalline and wholesome,
and, it is said, are excellent for certain
diseases like leprosy, and for strength
ening the system when debilitated by
the climate. AS soon as the seven years
are completed, these same waters dlsap-
pear at certain definite hour. the
spring ceases to flow, and the river bed,
becoming completely dried, exhibits
thereafter nothing but sand and dust.
The intermittent periods have been as
follows: From 1866 to 1878 the water
flowed; from 1878 to 1880 the spring
ceased; and in the month of January
of the present year, the spring began to
flow again.

Song Of Tabor.

love the ploughman's whistle,
The reapers cheerful song,
The drovei's oft.repeated shout,
Squirting his flock along;
The hustle of the market-man,
As he HES him to the town,
The halo from the trse-top,
As the ripening fruit comes down;
The busy soun4of the threshers,
As they clean the ripened grain;
The husker's joke and catch of glee
Meath the moonlight on the plain.
The kind voice Of the drayman,
The shepherds gentle call
These pleasant sounds Of industry,
Ilove-I love them all.

Reliable Testimony,

Where testimonials give the residence of
the parties 1t Is an easy matter for any per-
son to verify them. Thousands of people
from all parts Of the Pacific Coast can and
have expressed the opinion that there is no
other article in the world equal to PHOS-
PLATE SOAP for common toilet use. A
great many people have tested this soap for
skin diseases. Among others We give the
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:
OAKLAND, Cal, April s, 1880.
STANDARD SOAP COMPARTMENTS:
about two years old that had suffered for
year with a severe eruption on the head and
face. caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that it would often be awakened
out OF sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything we could find, but nothing
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we
had used one cake, the child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there has been no
appearance of the disease since.

STANDARD SOAP COMPANY-Gen's:
Having received your box of PHOSPHATE
SOAP, and having used only one cake Of
SOAP out OF the three, am happy to say
that it has completely cured my sore eyelids
which was caused by the alkali dust in idaho
Territory, in 1877, and have leen sore ever
since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP.

the very best for shaving. thank you for

Midnight.
RI MOSS ROSE.

The clock has tolled the midnight hour,
Ringing ont from the old church tower;
The singing winds have hushed their breath.
All is etill as the room Of death;
The moon has cent her brightest ray,
Adown the sprinkled milky way;
The hour lie bright aud fair, yet still
Hourniul memories chain my will.
Ny thoughts remind me Of the tread
OF armed men-the sheetcd dead;
The loved of other years arise
And pass before my aching eyes.
AgAiu Ihear in whispers low
The words heard go long ago;
Words Of love by the good and true,
Spoken to me when life was new,
While sitting here alone to night,
And dreaming of liie's morning light.

IT your wife is IN the habit OF
using cosmetics of any kind, advise
her to give up the pernicious prac-
tice, as the most harmless face
powders obstruct the pores of the
skin and sooner or later injure the
complexion. while PHOSPHATE
SOAP removes all impurities and
assists nature in developing q nat
ural, healthy and beautiful skin.
