Keep one or two glasses and spoons,
always perfectly clean, in the room, but
never have one of either that has been
used if you can avoid it. If you use a
glass tube wash it as soon as possible,
as it is much more easily cleaned than
if left to dry, and it is ready for use
when next wanted.
Have a cloth on the bureau and wash
stand; it will preserve them from marks
and lessen the noise when anything is
set on them.
These things may seem of slight i'm
portance. but they all tend to neat and
orderly room.
1t is very difficult to clean the carpet
in a sick-room. but much can lie done
by keeping everything picked up that
is loose on the floor, A damp cloth
pinned over broom and brushed light
ly under the bed will take up the dust,
while n damp cloth in the hand will
serve the same purpose in other parts
of the room. Always dust the room
every day with cloth, and remember
that a clean, well-ared ard sunny room
will help the patient back to health. -

Swallowed Up.

It is painful to contemplate the terri
BILE visitation of earthquakes at Ischia,
with their frightful devastations and
destruction of human life. 1t almost
makes one shudder to think of living in
such a country.
But, when we stop to reflect, we find
that we have a perpetual scourge at
our own doors, before whose devasta-
tions that unfortunate calamity would
pale into insignificance, and its destruc-
ton of life and property would dwindle
to a mere fraction in comparison.
Ours, unlike earthquakes, is a per-
petual calamity, running on through
the entire year, and although the earth
does not open all at once, still it con-
tinues to open until nearly one hundred
thousand men and women are annually
swallowed up within the limits of the
United States; but the work is done so
gradually and insidiously. that no one
seems to be sufficiently alarmed to fly
to the mountains for safety.
The fact is, we have become so accus-
toned to the terrible slaughter, that We
take it as matter of course. And
then, the manner of taking off is thou
sand times more aggravated and dis
tressing than to be swallowed at once
by an earthquake. Ours takes off Its
victims by slow and torturing process
akin to a living death.
Much as we dread earthquakes, we
could exchange our malady with the
Ischians for their occasional earth
quakes with great advantage in our
favor, and thereby save thousands OF
lives to our Nation yearly; and then,
the earthquake could only destroy the
body, while this malady "casts both
soul and body into hell. "-Lerer.

Faithful Servants.

Among the Government employees
here there are few who, although less
efficient than the average, are retained
on the rolls, partly in consideration OF
the long and faithful service in the past
and partly for other reasons. In the
Post-Oifice Department for example, the
chief clerk in the office of the First
Assistant Postmaster-General is the
venerable James ii. Mars. Congress
has provided that, so long as he holds
the Office, he shall receive 50, 800 year,
$500 more than the regular compcnsa-
ton. Another clerk in the same de-
partment has been in the postal service
more than half century. Probably
neither of these men can do as much
work as younger men would in the same
places. In the Interior Department a
clerk recently died who had been en-
ployed in one of the bureaus nearly sixty
years. In another department needy
female descendant of George Washing
ton was appointed not long ago, it is
understood, at the personal solicitation
of General w. S. Hancock and others,
who knew of her merits and necessities.
In the War Department is grand-niece
of the Revolutionary patriot Kosciusko.
and it is understood that Ex-Governor
Curtin. who is deeply interested in her
welfare, secured her appointment. In
the Interior Department is employed a
great granddaughter of Thomas Jeffer-
son. Her little salary supports her
aged and invalid mother, who is the
last surviving grandchild of Jefferson.
1t is possible that in some of these cases,
and perhaps in few like other cases,
the persons employed are not able to do
as much for the money they receive as
others do, yet they perform their duties
to the best of their ability, and none of
them receive large salaries. Washing
