Sickness is too apt to be synonymous with
sadness, and it is ailimportant that the per-
son in charge of a patient should wear a
bright. hopeful countenance, The weak look
to the strong for support, and are quick to
mark the slightest tokens of uneasness or
apprehension on the part of those about
their bedsides, although they may give no
outward expression of their sense of it at
the time. A nurse who combines apparent
confidence as happy result, with the tender
attentions necessary to secure it, does but
discharge the proper functions of her calling
save in extreme cases, of which we are not
treating here,
Let the nurse be quiet Let her dress be of
no stiff or rustling material; her shoes of a
kind that shall in no wise creak or cry. The
meditation of the voice, too, should be care
fully attended to. We cannot aud should
not, forbear attendance upon the sick, be-
cause nature has not gifted us with that
rare, blessed boon, of a sweet and musical
voice; yet, even more earnestly than the
elocutionist, should the nurse study to mod.
ulate such organs as she does possess, to the
utmost gentleness of which they are capable
For nothing is OF greater importance, we
would assure her, if she desires TO soothe
Initiated nerves, and quiet perturbed spirits,

Treatment of Bees.
. q. Hutchinson in Country Gentleman.

W. q. Hutchinson in Country Gentleman.
For some reason, some colonies at this sea-
son of the year are found queenless. Per
haps the large number of eggs laid during
the busy season is so great tax upon the vi
tality of old queens that they die, and then
the young queen that the bees afterwards
rear is lost in mating. Of all the methods
that have tried for introducing queens that
have been long out of the hive | have found
none better than the following
Make a cage of wire cloth by rolling piece
three or four inches square around round
stick three-fourtbs of an inch in diameter
One edge of the cloth should be unraveled
few wires, and the long ends of the
wires thus LETT sticking out
can be thrust through the meshes
of the opposite edge then bent over or
'clinched." The cage when finished is SIM
ply wire-cloth tube four inches long and
three-fourths of an inch in diameter. One
end can be closed by pinching it together.
The cage in which the queen has been ship
ped should be opened in close room near
window, the queen alone caught and placed
in the wire-cloth cage, and the cage closed by
squeezing the end together. Then by mov-
ing the frames slightly apart the cage can be
slipped down between two of them and held
IN place by pressing the combs against it.
For fear the bees might neglect to
feed the queen it is better that
the cage be placed against sealed
honey. In from twenty-four to forty eight
hours it is usually safe to liberate the queen.
The disposition OF the bees toward the queen
is the only guide as to when it is safe to re-
lease her. If they are "balling" the cage
clinging to it like burdocks-they would kill
the queen; if they are walking about over
the cage in their usual unconcerned manner,
they will usually accept the queen and the
cage can be opened by pressing one end in
the opposite direction from that by which it
was closed. After opening the cage the hive
should be closed at once, and not opened or
the bees disturbed again for five or six days.
Opening the hives before the queen has en-
tirely recovered from her captivity, and
been completely accepted as sovereign of the
hive, often leads to her destruction.
Colonies that are to be united should be
united now. Remove the least desirable
queen, and in two days take the combs CON
tanning the brood OF both colonies and put
them, together with the adhering bees, in one
hive, and place it upon the stand occupied
by the colony having the queen. At this
season of the year robber bees are often
troublesome; hence caution should be used,
and no temptations, in the shape of exposed
sweets or queenless or weak colonies, should
be placed in their way. When robbng is
once started it is difficult of control. Once

than 20 use an habtuaIly soft and calm
speech in all her conversation, either with
the sick or in their presence.
1t is primarily important that an attend
ant should give quick heed to the physicians
orders, and obey them exactly The hard
headed and opinionated nurse is one who in
ours heavy responsibility. and in nine cases
out OF ten brings to grief her patient as well
as herself
Take care that no disagreeable topic of con-
yersation be continued, if perchance intro
duced. Get more imperative; guard against
talking at all when the patient indicates by
his own silence desire for quiet. Ii the vote
OF all the sick were taken as to that fault in
their nurses from which they suffer most, we
should not be surprised if, with one voice,
they would say, garrulity. 1t is conceded
that truth lies at the foundation of all pOpu-
lar beliefs; and if So then nurses, as a class,
are prone to talk too much. Let so base a
vice as gossip no longer degrade one of the
noblest and beneticent of human callings-

Lesson in Draining Land.



l mistakenly undertook to dry fiat piece
of ground at the foot of a hill by putting an
underdrain along the base. But, later when
ditch was put through the middle of the
fiat where the water settled most, the water
was carried off and the land was made dry.
My theory about cutting off the springs and
water courses at the foot of the hill, so as to
make the bottom-land dry, proved to be an
expensive mistake. In my early experience
was also taught another fact-that water
will work its way down hill through the
ground rather than follow a ditch with a
slight descent running on the side of the HILL
parallel with the top and bottom. In this
case, as in the other, wet holes were made
dry by running bitches through them with
as much direct fall as possible. There are
bitches on the farm, with good fall made of
stone, which have effectually drained wet
places, and are now in good repair, that
were put down sixty years ago Some of
them have furnished supply of water in
the fields where they are located. Ditching
is kind of work which it pays to do WE'LL
and when once done it will last lifetime,
and change poor field to good one.

THE TEXTBOOK QUESTION.
A Citizen Who Thinks the Changes Are of
Too Frequent Occurrence,

"Why doesn't some newspaper that wants to
do good thing for this suffering community let
little light in on the textbook business?" in
uuired a gentleman who was emerging from
bookstore with half dozen new school books
in his hand yesterday. The reporter expressed
himself ready and willingly TO enter upon
any good work. al don't want to be understood
as intmating anything against the school board,
but would like to know who the fellows are
who get these changes in textbooks made.
There ten thousand people in this
city who buy school books. While the
bleed in an individual may not
amount to great deal, the aggregate is suffi-
GENTLY large to deserve long, strong kick with
a toothpIck shoe. Now, in the matter of lead
pencils. Heretofore children have been re-
quired to provide themselves with DixOn's pen
ellis; now the blanks call for the Eagle pencil. No
other kind will do. If you have cord of Dixon
pencils it would be high crime and mlsde-
meanOr for your child to take one to school ard
attempt to use it. 1 would like TO know how
that change came about. l understand, too, that
Mr.. LOOMS has been dismissed as superlntend.
ent, supervisor, super-something or other of
music, and at the same time this list calls for all
of his music hooks, and the scholars have to buy
them. Now there other points, bu. Miss -
Ia school teaoher) can give them better than L
can. Go and sea her."
The reporter did so. He found that Monroe's
Third Reader is only good for six months, be-
ginning now, to scholars who pave been study
ing it the preceding six months, and that
scholars beginning on the Third Reader now
will have to take Appleton's Third Reader The
same with Quackeubos's Illustrated Lessons in
Our Language, which Will give way in like man
ner and with like unreason for Reed IL Kellogg's
Graded Lessons in English, and the class that
studied Quackenbos's six months will study 1t
six months longer, while those who start in new
will take Reed q Kellogg, There is system of
exchange, but after six months 1t doesn't
hold good, and parents will have to
buy new books. There is no such
thing in this city children of successive in
the same family using books left by their elder
brothers or sisters. The reporter began to get
the Impression that year was getting TO be
long life for Textbook in our public schools.
He was told that Ridpaths History of the
United States, an excellent textbook, furnished
at eighty cents, was now "Out," and the Eclectic
History of the United States list price 81 is in."
OF course, an even exchange ie temporarily pro-
vided for IN this case, but it's twenty cents more
when, some months hence, this seemingly I'M
necessary purchase has to be made This text
book business has always required the closest
scrutiny the part of the school board, and
even then every once in while something is
apt to run crooked.

Regarding Divorce Proceedings.

In the matter of divorce proceedings Judge
Walker, OF the Superior Court, has always been
very strict, and yesterday he made the follow
ing order. which will prevent any attempted
"crookedness' in obtaining divorces i'll his
court:
"Ordered-That in all cases for divorce, when
the notice IL by publication, due proof must be
made that a copy of the newspaper containing
such notice, plainly marked, was at the proper
time mailed by the clerk to the defendant to his
or her place of residence, unless iJ appears that
such residence is unknown to the plaintiff
"Secoud-That in all cases when the defend
ant is within the reacn of the process of this
court, or when his or her attendance may be
procured within a reasonable time, no cause
Will be heard until the personal presence OF such
defendant is secured"

Methods of Feeding Hogs.


Farm, Field and tlreslde.
There is no one breed OF hogs adapted to
all sections of our country. The diversity of
crops and methods of feeding make this more
noticeable, and as long as we overlook the
fact, the more will we attempt to discover
better animal than those we have which,
fortunately, is not necessary. In the East.
where the hog is given the range of clover
field, or in the South, where the forests are
used for ranges, the farmers are not re-
stricted so exclusively to peculiar breeds, but
in, the West the system is somewhat differ
ent, for the hog is used as a means of con-
vertng the products of the farm into pro-
duce that is more profitable and
easier transported. In some Sec
tons corn is the great staple to
the exclusion of all other crops, and
it is often the case that it cannot be grown
proftably and sold in that shape. Il is con-
verified into pork in which condition the corn
is sent to market in a concentrated form and
realizes higher price What the Western
farmer most desires and which he probably
possesses in the Poland China, is hog that
will return him the greatest amount of pork
for the smallest amount of corn fed, and he
also desires his hog to be hardy, easily fatted
to grow to large size, to possess fine hams and
depth of carcass, and to be adapted to the
climate. He cares nothing for clover or grass
runs. or how to feed anything but corn, for
his object is to feed his corn and sell pork
In fact, his hog is to be used as a machine for
making pork out of corn, as that is his sur
plus crop. Consequently the Western farmer
does not practice the same methods of feeding
peculiar to other sections.

A Defense of DR.. Stone.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
1t is not my intention to justify the
changes taking place in our charitable insti-
buttons, but as one doctor may get too much
advertising and another unjustly slurred 1
take the liberty to state that Dr. R. F. Stone,
who has been appointed as physician to the
Blind Asylum, is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. AS a
favored nephew OF the Hon. Henry s. Lane,
be was given unusual advantages in the mil
itary hospitals during the greater part of the
entire war. Subsequently he practiced in
cambridge Putnam county, until four years
ago, when the board of trustees of the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons, this city,
elected him as one of its teachers. He taught
one year, coming over on the trains once a
week. Three years ago, by vote of the stu
dents he was promoted to the chair
of professor of materia medica
and therapeutics in said college, the same
chair DR.. Wright holds in the Medical Col
lege of Indiana Three years ago he bought
residence. moved into it, bought lot and
built an Office in this city, and is not a renter
or country doctor as the News would have
it; and if he had been, so were Drs. Todd,
Harvey, Thompson, and some of the strong
est men in the profession. 1t is State in
sttution, and IL is not for those who have
lived longest in the city to claim superiority
1t is a fact that Dr. Wiles had nothing against
DR.. Stone. He was backed and recommended
by the best men in his party, but DR.. Wiles
was under obligation to Dr. Wright because
DR.. Wright has favored Dr. Wles's SON. who
is a student of DR.. Wright, and an assistant
of his in his college work. A REPUBLICAN.
