"SN0B ARIST0CRACY."

nomlnIous Maturity Mt a For
elgn Court.

1nth's country we have no ar1stocracy,
according 10 the European acceptat:on
OF the word. and what is more, we do
not desire TO create one. The reward
which genius and labor bring to the
sons and daughters OF this Republic are
sufficient for all who stand up for true
Americanism.
1t Is amusing TO watch the efforts
which are made by some of our young
swells TO initiate the manners and eccen-
triciues Of English people who move In
high society. Anglomania. as this mild
form Of idiocy is called. has of late
years taken possession Of large por-
tion OF our dude population. and If this
class OF brainless, faultlessly- at,ired
youths could have their way an Amer
lean ari tocracy would quickly become
n social entity.
A few days ago your representative
encountered would be American
nobleman, walking in the street, with
his trousers tucked up and an open
umbrella over his head although the
Jagged sideway was scrupulously clean,
and there was not cloud visible in the
sky.

Hints by nm Eneiish Phyaioian as TO IN
Corr II the Sick.

Hints by nm Enelish rhysician as 20 the
Carc u the Sick.
DO not walk on tiptoe, for this, in
addition to its unusual elaboration Of
the gait invariably causes certain
amount Of creaking.
Speak in low tones. but don't whis-
per; a whisper will often awaken q
sleeper who would not be disturbed by
ordinary conversation; and never say
"Hushr" Let your clothes and foot
covering be Of as noiseless aud unob-
trusiye a character as possible, and in
steal Of gliding and tottering about
Ike rickety ghost. do not hesitate TO
walk. II you have occasion to say
anything in the room, say Il so that the
patient can hear Il u he wishes, and do
not let him be aware Of your conspir-
ihg privately with others, especially at
the door.
The door has much to answer for
II it be visible from the bed. people
open il cautiously, put their heads in
and slowly withdraw again. If. as Is
more frequently the case, IL is screened
by the bed curtains, mysterious OPEN
mgs and shuttings are heard,
unattended with any ingress or
egress, aud sotto voce coiloquies go on
outside. When you enter, do so hon
cstly and at once; do not spend five
minutes in turning the handle, like a
house breaker. thereby producing n
series of irritating little clicks. finally
terminating in a big snap, with which
the door flies open. II the latch be at
all rusty, handle that is slowly wound
back in this way Will often stick, and
either require to be ratified back into
position, or, il left as Il is, may start
back suddenly after time Of its own
accord, with n report like pistol shot.
II is always well TO recollect that IL
BY no means follows that a sick per-
SON is asleep because his eyes are shut;
he may be acuteh conscious of all that
passing in the room. though unable
or unwilling to make any sig and
nothing can be more madden un-
der such circumstances, than T. ave
people hush-sh-lng and whispEing
around. and creaking about on the tips
Of their toes. We have all sympathiled
in our hearts with poor Sir Leicester
Bedlock when his tongue was smitten
with paralysis. with his sister con-
family bending over him with clasped
hands and murmuring, "He is aslcepl'
till, goaded to desperation. he makes
signs for his slate and writes: IL am
not"
Never stand at the foot Of the bed
and look at the patient While talking
to him It is better to sit by the side of
the bed, and as near the pillow as pos
sible, so that you may converse easily,
while your face and body are turned in
the same direction as his. By this
means you can make all necessary OBJ
servation OF his features without en-
forcing the arrest of his eyes to your
own, which is so embarrassing and dis
agreeable to one lying in bed, aud is
almost unavoidable when facing him.
Keep him In as comfortable position
as possible, by all means. but don't be
too demonstrative in smoothing the
pillows and little offices of that sort.
F1dgety attentions will worry him and
do more harm than downright neglect.

with which we can travel nowadays,

the young American becomes perverted
and learns to bow down to the false
gods of an effete monarchlcal system.
If YOU have ever noticed the Anglo

The Javan Volcano.

Reports collected since the memor-
able eruption Of Krakatoa, in August,
1888, have shown that the explosions
were heard over a circle Of thirty de-
grees radius. A more astonishing an
nouncement still is now made by Dr.
+. A. Forel, the well-known Swiss pay
sicist. lie has learned that ON the day
of the great eruption startling subter-
ranean noises, resembling the rolling Of
distant thunder, were heard in Caiman-
Brac, a small island of the Caribbean
Sea, near the antipodes of the volcano
of Sunda Strait. These sounds can not
readily be attributed to any nelghborlng
volcanic disturbance. and DR.. Forel Is
forced to infer that they may have
been propagated through the entire
diameter OF the earth. To test this
bold hypothesis inquiries are to be made
concerning the exact hour at which
the detopatlons were heard in Ca.map-
Brac.-LOHdon Standard.
