Our Servant Girl.

We hired her, but she could not cook;
She knew not how to make bed;
And will swear upon the book
She could not make loaf of bread.
She into corners swept the dust;
A dustpan she had never seen;
The range took on a coat Of rust;
Pots, pans, and kettles were unclean.
Till 1t was black she boiled the tea;
The pan in which she boiled the fish
She used unclean for fricassee;
At every meal she broke dish.
Although of splendid health and strong
OF work she seemed to be afraid;
She never cleaned the lamps as long
AS she could see without their aid.
About her rights she had no doubt
And did not fear of them to speak;
She wanted every Sunday out
And three nights also every week
My wife to her becoming cool,
She left US, sulky, black as ink.
She's now instructress in a school
For training servant girls, think.

An Old Slaves Notable Funeral

An Old Slaves Notable Funeral
The attachment of the master to his
old slaves, and of the fidelity of the lat
ter to their former master, even since
their emancipation, is we'll illustrated
in the case of an old family colored
servant of Judge Joseph Fl. Le&is of
Glasgow, KY, one of the bravest Of
Confederate Generals. and now one of
the judges of the court of appeals. One
of his slaves before the war was deaf
and dumb negro called "Black George"
but oftener by the simple appellaton
of Dummy" Since his freedom he
has remained a servant in Gen. (now
Judge Lewis family and no induce :
ment could have made him leave them.
On tho other hand, the family have
been extremely kind to him, and he
manifested his appreciation of it by the
most faithful devotion to them He
could never hear nor speak from his
birth. but all his other senses were
greatly quickened. Scarcely anything
ever happened in town that he did not
in some unknown manner become
aware of it, and il death occurred he
was one of the first to know of it and

ed person.
Dummy was taken down with
pneumonia last week, and notwith-
standing he was given the best medical
attention and care. died Monday morn
ing. To a Northerner his funeral
yesterday would have doubtless caused
surprise. Three carriages next to the
hearse contained some of the first faai-
lies of the town. these of Gen. Lewis,
his sisters and sons, which were fol-,
lowed by long procession of coloredi
people. This respect is often shown
here by the white people to their old
slaves Many of the latter are to-day
subsisting upon the charity of their old
masters or their masters families.
They constantly seek them for advice
and help. which is given them. and
when they die are not only followed to
the grave by their white friends, but
the latter uncommonly defray their
burial expenses. The same white peo-
pie were nearly all of them 'rebels"

How to Battle Sick Persons.


Few items in the general care of the
sick are more neglected than bathing.
and the following directions by Eliza
beth Robinson Scovil in Good House
keel ing are worthy of the widest circu-
lation: A sick person, she says. should
be bathed every day, unless for some
special reason the doctor forbids it
The skin cannot properly perform its
function of carrying off the waste mat
ter from the body unless its pores are
kept open. In fever. sponging with
cold water is one of the recognized
means of lowering the temperature. 1t
is, therefore. important to know how
to give bath to a person in bed as
easily, speedily and effectively as pos
sible. Before beginning. everything
That will be req uired should be collect
ed at the side of the bed. Two blan-
kets are needed, two towels. a basin
of water (if the bath is to be a warm
one, a pitcher of hot water to replen-
ish the basin), and q sponge. If the
bath is given every day. soap is unnec-
essary; when it is used. q cloth should
be substituted for the sponge. as soap
spo;ls the latter. II the night-dress
and sheet are to be changed. the fresh
ones should be put to air. and warm
ct the fire. This precaution should
never be neglected. as damp linen
might give fatal chill.

Food. Beauty and Morality.

Prof. F. T. Miles. of the faculty Of
the University of Maryland. delivered
q lecture TO large audience of young
mon last evening on "Food and Diges.
ton" In the course of his lecture
Prof. Miles. in speaking Of the effects
of an insufficient quantity of food said:
1.-THE fat disappears first, then the
muscles waste away, and finally the
bones comes through the skin. The
brain. the spinal cord and the nerves
are nonrished to the last. Like a king
in beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished. In star
walton there is not simple hunger Of
the stomach, but hunger of tho whole
body. 1t is not strange that when hum
ger presses on people they do strange
things. 1t produces insanity. and they
have been driven to eating what has
been called strange flesh; that is. to
cannibalism. There are millions of peo-
pie who have not enough to eat 1t is
at the bottom of anarchy. The police
may give them loaf of bread. but the
whole body is ill-nourished. and rest
less feeling results. Not much can 10
done with tho grown-up people of the
criminal classes, but the child criminal
comes first. The criminal classes are
called dirty, lazy and ugly. or course
they are. They are dirty because they
have no spare heat to let go; lazy, be-
cause the muscles are weak and
nature tells them to keep still when
hungry. You would be astonished to
know how much of the beauty of the
fairest women is made up of fat. The
criminal classes are ugly because they
have no fat. How, could child whose

WORK IN GOLD AND PRECIOUS
STONES.

And they brought the Lords offering to the
work of the tabernacle of the congregation
and iorall lis service, and for the holy gar
ments. And they came both men and women,
as many MS were wiling-hearted, and brought
bracelets, and ear rings, and rings, and tab
lets, all jewels of gold. And every man
with whom was found blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine linen, ana goats hair and red
skins of rams, and badger skins, brought
them. And the rulers brought onyx
stones, and stones TO be set, for the sphod, and
for the breastplates; and spice and oil for the
light, and for The amounting oil, and for the
sweet inccnsc.-Exod. XXXv, 2l-2s.
Some have wondered how the Hebrews
could contribute vast quantities of gold,
and silver, and precious stones, as Moses
says they did, for the construction of the
tabernacle and It's furniture in the desert
But they had learned the art of ornamcn-
tation from their masters, aud they had
conformed to the social life around them
in the days of their freedom and prosper
ity; and now necklaces of gold and corne-
liam, engraved signets, girdles, rings, PEN
dants, bracelets, armlcts, amulets, chains,
metallic mirrors, costly and elegant orna-
ments OF every description, are found in
tombs with mummes, and the forms are
engraven and painted on monuments of the
age of Moses. The explorer in the valley of
the Nile to-day can see tie models from
which Bezaleel and Aholab learned the
art of setting precious stones, and of max
ipf t1,a, oI,ai, in, Of
carving i'll wood, and of devsing all man
ner of tasteful forms in gold, and silver,
and brass. The children of Israel also
brought an offering of rcd skins of rams,
and badger skins, for the service of the
sanctuary; and the monuments show us the
forms and devices which they used for the
adornmcnt of tho sacred tent. In the
tombs of Thebes leather has been found
stamped with beautiful figures in various
colors, with the names of the most ancient
kings. Sandals, shields, harps, quiycrs,
stamp of the lotus blossom can still be
traced in leather, and the shop of the
workers is pictured on the walls of the
tomb At Benz IIasscn the Bible student
can see to-day the representation Of the
whole process of preparing the fine-twincd
linen which was used in making the cur
tains of The tabernacle, and the pictures
are as old as the days of Moses. Men are
beating the yarn with sticks to make it
soft. They are boiling it in water to in
