The question rs to the ACCESSIBILITY of
abandoning some of the navy yards now
kept up by the government will probably
be brought up again by the report of the
commission which under Commodore
Luce, has for some time been examining
the present condition. The report says
that unless considerable money is imme-
mediately laid out on them some OF them
will very soon be worthless. This is said
to be especially the case with the yards in
New England. 1t is doubtless true that
many of the yards are in bad condition.
but it will be better to repair them than
to abolish them and build up instead one
or two mammoth establishments, that may
become menace instead of protection
to the country.

Self-Care in Nursing the Sick.

To those who are called upon to nurse
the sick through long and severe ill
ness it is of the utmost Importance, not
only to themselves, butte their patients,
that their own health should be preserv-
ed and their own strength maintained,
not only throughout the critical stage,
but during the period of convaleseence,,
oftentimes SO tediously prolonged. To all
such we submit the following simple pre-
cautions to aid them in preserving their
own health while nursing the sick: It
the malady of the patient be such as to
cause any marked odor OF the breath or
noticeable exhalations from the skin,
take care always to sit on that side OF
the bed or sick person which is opposite
to or away from the direction which the
efffuvium takes toward the windows or
draught of fireplace. Sit so that their
breath, etc., is carried away from you.
Do not sit. too close to them, or take
their breath if you can avoid it. 10
keep ones own strength in case OF
prolonged care, and particularly it
obliged to sit up all night for many
nights in succession, great benefit will
be derived from taking a warm bath
early in the morning, and putting on
fresh undergarments every second
morning; or if the disease be partic-
ularly infectious in its nature, it is best
to change the underclothing every
morning. It will be found that the
warm bath, followed by a brisk rubbing
of the whole body with coarse Turkish
towel or flesh brush, will refresh the
wearied body almost as much as sleep.
At the same time keep up the appetite
and strength by small doses of quinine,
two to five grains three times a day
and nourishing diet. ST. Paul Pioneer
