PROFESSIONAL "ETHICS."

A physician of Chester, Pa, was re-
Gently guilty of most unprofessional con-
duet and was properly punished therefor
by suspension from the local medical as
ISOLATION. He advised mother to give
her child sage tea for some ailment. His
offence consisted in not making out a reg
ular prescription, charging for the same
and sending to the drug store for the ex-
tract of the herb instead of calling it by
its plain old-fashioned name and giving
the woman a chance to go'out in the gar
den and get it and brew her own decoc-
ton. Wonders will probably never cease.
The world may yet hear of the suspen-
sion from his union of plumber for
lending man a soldering iron and telling
him how to utilize bit of pewter spoon
in repairing the waste pipe TO the kitchen
sink, instead of sending up man to do
the job, charging for two hours work
and rendering bill of from So TO 50 for
material. We say this guardedly, how
eyer, not willing to establish reputa-
ton for being visionary. The world may
hear of reasonably-well authenticated
case of this kind, but we will add that il
is not probable that it will. But then

A KITCHEN CONVENIENCE.

Not every kitchen can be supplied with
all modern improvements, and not every
housekeeper has the means to possess
them but every one can procure this,
and it will pay its cost in a short time.
Almost all sinks are too small for COM
fort, and their proportions can be in
creased by placing at one end board of
the width of the sink and two and
a half feet in length, letting it rest
upon the sink. Then have a rim of
board, four inches in height, screwed up
on three sides. Raise the end furthest
from the sink slightly, and have one end
fastened securely to the wall. Two or
three not very deep grooves should be cut
into the shelf, so that the water will
drain off quickly. As the dishes are
washed place them on this shelf, and
when all are done turn hot water over
them to rinse and then wipe quickly
Dish washing is an important part of
housekeeping, and good supply of dish
cloths and wiping towels are indispens-
able. There should be glass towels, sill
yer towels, and common dish and tin
towels Exchange.

HINTS ABOUT ROAD BUILDING.


y road-bed of clay is good in dry
weather, and one of sand is tolerable in
wet time, and the latter is but slightly
affected by the FROST but we need one
that is good in all seasons.
Not being able to make the surface wa
ter-tight, there must be a substratum
that will carry the water from above,
and that from below, as quickly as posi-
BILE to the drains. Whatever may be used
for this under layer, stones larger than
an inch in diameter should not be placed
erwise, when there is a compact founda-
ton, they are sure to work up, from the
downward pressure of gravel forcing it.
self beneath them. Clean gravel. reject
ing stones above an inch in diameter, put
on in successive layers of three to four
inches, to the depth of ten inches, each
layer being well worked down with a
heavy roller, assisted by the daily travel,
with small admiXture of finer gravel or
loan on the top in some cases, will make
as good a surface as one can expect for
the majority of our country roads.
Pebbles of an inch to two or three in
ches in diameter, placed upon the sur
face, will not pack together on account
of their hardness and smooth, round sur
face. 1t should be understood that mae
adamized and TelfOrd roads are made of
broken stone-angular fragments.
\ pure sand road is improved by top
ping of clay or loan; and it may be six
inches in thickness, or more, according
TO the depth of the sand.
Quite passable roads have been made
in a region where vegetable mould and
loan lay upon pure clay, and no sand OF
gravel was at hand, by leaving the sur
face as nearly as possible In its natural
state and tlanking with deep bitches,
throwing the excavations from them out,
and not upon the road-bed.
\ very good use for stones, if they are
abundant, is to place them in slough
that must be crossed. But if ii is deep,
a better method is to use poles or brush
in alternate layers, first cross and then
lengthwise, covering the whole with not
less than two feet of the best material at
hand.
A thoroughly underdrained road sur
face will not be seriously affected by the
heavings of frost, will dry up speedily
after rains, and will be passable at all
seasons of the year by the average load,
though the material composing it may
be of an inferior character. e., more
depends upon the drainage than upon the
materials of surface. By drainage we
mean, of course, not the browning of the
road and the digging of ditch for sur
face water, but the laying of proper
drains under the road itself, so as to keep
the ground free from the moisture with
which frost works its mischief. BY
proper drains we mean the broken stone,
of various degrees of coarseness, with
which a road-bed is made permeable by
water below and smooth on the surface

A MEDICAL VIEW OF NURSERY
DISCIPLINE.

| was called, not long ago, to attend a
child severely i'll with that most deadly
disease diphtheria. In the treatment of
this malady it is well-known fact
that the expedients for relief and for the
promotion of recovery, in the way of
sprays, gargles and kindred applications,
are multifold as they are valuable. This lit
tie girl had been allowed her own sweet
way in all things, and now, when she
most required to be controlled she was
absolutely uncomfortable. a request to
open the mouth, even, was answered by
an outburst of passion; medicine, how
ever palatable, was rejected in fact,
nothing could be done for her relief. I'M
less the means met her approval, without
such struggle as to exhaust the little
frame; and so the benefit derived from
the treatment was nearly or quite count
erbalanced by the fatigue entailed. Tn
der these circumstanc the outcome of
the case can be easily guessed by any one
who has had experience with this dread
disease. Mothers, did you ever think
that upon your faithfuness in requiring
instant and unques tioning obedience
from your little ones may sometime rest
the decision of a question of life or death

years. In all of our relations in life to-
ward each other there has been naught
but one continuation of fidelity and low
ing kindness. We have never participant
ed or condemned in others secretly or
otherwise that which was calculated to
subjugate the masses of the people to the
dictation of the few, and now we will re-

dividualities in life unimpaired, to pass
through together the ordeal of earth's

CURIOUS EPIIAPHS.

A friend in Dover, n. H., has been
looking over the stones in the cemetery
and sends us the following inscriptions
which he copied from them:
Henry Mellen, Esquire, whose virtue
endeared him to his friends, and whose
social powers rendered him the charm of
every circle that he entered. He had a
mind ardent and rapid in its conception,
an Imagination brilliant and exclusive, a
humour original and striking: wit keen
and lively, yet playful and innocent; for
it was under the guidance of a spirit so
gentle, heart humane, a sensibility so
delicate, that its keenest shafts, while
they never failed of piercing, vet left no
rancOur in the wound. His temper
seem'd incapable of asperity if the gem
tie tenor of his mind was ever disturbed
it was but the disturbance of moment !;
his resentments were fleeing as the col
ours of the clouds of spring; but his at
tachments were permanent; his friend
ships involable. OF that meekness which
vaunteth not itself of that aflectionate
goodness that suffereth long and is kind /;
of that charity which hopeth all things
and which never taileth; of that child
like simplicity, so seldom combined with
maturity of understanding of that un-
affected sympathy that fulfils the gospel
precept, TO weep with them that weep
and rejoice with them that do rejoice; he
exhibited a striking example; in the doc
trnes of the gospel his faith was firm
and lively; his religion was not barren
speculation, but vigorous and animat-
ing sentiment. His virtues were engraft-
ed on his affections and sprang warm and
operative from his heart. Sacred is the
memory of the just, and hallowed the
place where the ashes of the good man
repose.
