course of which he said that General jackson
had a single eye to the welfare of the country,
and two of them wide open to his own inter
est. For this dsrespect to the President he
was removed by the Secretary. The day
after his removal he was surprised to receive
a note from General jackson requesting him
to call at the White House. He called, sent
in his card, and was received After inquir-
ing whether he was the person who made the
statement quoted above, General Jackson
asked:

Suggestions for the Sick.ROOm.
CONSIDERATION DUE THE INVALID.

In preparing meal for any one whose ap-
petite is delicate, it should be made to look as
tempting as possible. The tray should be
covered with the whitest napkin, and the
silver, glass; and china should shine with
cleanliness. There should not be too great
Il variety of viands. and but a very small por-
ton of each one. Nothing more quickly dis
gusts feeble appetite than quantity of
food presented at one time.
The patient should never be consulted be-
forehand as to what he will eat or what he
will drink. fine asks for anything, give it
to him with the doctors permission other
wise prepare something he is known to like
and offer it without previous comment. One
of the chief offices of a good nurse is to think
of her patient. His slightest want should be
anticipated and gratified before he has had
time TO express ii. Quick observation will
enable her to detect the first symptom of
worry or excitement and to remove the
cause, An invalid never should be leased
with the exertion of making a decision.-
Whether the room is too hot or too cold;
whether chicken broth, beef tea, or cruel is
best for his luncheon, and all similar matters,
are questions which should be decided with
out appealing to him.
Household trouble should be kept as far as
possible from the sick room. Squabbles of
children or servants never should lind an
echo there.
In the event of some calamity occurring,
of which it is absolutely necessary the suf
ferer should be informed, the i'll news should
be broken as gently as possible, and every
soothing device employed to help him TO
bear the shock.
Above all, an invalid, or even person ap
parently convaescent, should be saved from
his friends. One garrulous acquaintance
admitted for half an hour will undo the good
done by week of tender nursing. Who
ever is the responsible person in charge
should know how much her patient can bear,
she should keep careful watch on visitors
of whose discretion she IS not certain, and
the moment she perceives it to be necessary,
politely but firmly dismiss them.
She must carry out implicitly the doctors
directions, particularly those regarding med
icine and diet. Strict obedience to his Or
ders, q faithful, diligent, painstaking follow
ing of his Instructions will insure to the sui.
ferer the best results from his skill, and bring
order, method and regularity into domestic
nursing.

An Official Sea Serpent Story.

In volume recently published by order
of Congress, containing matter furnished by
Professor Spencer F. Baird, United States
commissioner of fish and fisheries, relative to
new observations, discoveries and applica-
tions connected with fish culture and the
fisheries, is found the following sea serpent
story given, by Professor Richard A. Proctor;
"Whie the boats of Captain Seymour's
bark, Hope On, were on the water for whales
of the Pearl Islands between 40 and 80 miles
from Panama) the water broke short dis
lance away, and Captain Seymour made
ready for whale but head like that of a
horse rose from the water and then divided.
The creature was seen by all the boats
crew. Capt. Seymour described the animal
MS almost 90 feet in length, with handsome
horselike bead, with two unicorn-shaped
horns pr otruding from it. The creature
had four legs or double-jointed fins, brown
ish hide, profusely specked with large, black
spots, and tail which appeared to be divid-
ed in two parts The creature was seen on
two different days, and if whales had not
been about at the time an effort would have
been made to catch it. Captain Seymour
and his officers agreed in considering that the
creature is peculiar to the locality, and that
1t could easily be killed with lances and guns.
1t is important to notice that officers of the
Pacific Mail Company state that they haye
seen the animal on several occasions but not
so closely as did officers and men ofthe Hope
On"
Prof Baird adds:
1.-THE nearest account of any strange ami
NAL akin TO that seen by Seymour and his
men is the account of a marine creature, sup
posed to be sea serpent, seen in 1917 near
Cape Ann, Mass. Eleven witnesses of good
reputation gave an oath before magistrates
Zone OF whom had himself seen what they
had) description of n creature like SER
pent, dark brown in color (some said mottled)
with white under the head and neck The
head of this creature was as large as horses,
but shaped like serpent's, and the animal
was estimated as exceeding 80 feet in length.
Colonel Perkins noticed an appearance i'll
front of the head like single horn, but other
observers thought that this was the monsters
tongue. The evidence now obtained confirms
The theory which which was advanced in
1S46 and has since been maintained by Goss
and others, that race of marine animals
exists, including probably several varieties.
which is characterized by a serpentine neck, n
head small compared with the body, but
large compared with the thickness of the
neck, an air breather and deriving its propul-
sive power from paddles; in other words, a
modern representative of the long-necked
plesiosaurians of the great secondary or
mesozoic era. Creatures of this class have
been aptly compared to what would be FORM
ed by drawing Il serpent through the body of
a sea turtle"
