THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
Several Minor Matters Considered
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The Board of Fire Commissioners met
yesterday morning. A driver of No. 4
engine complained that one of his breth-
rem had solicited and obtained loan of
SIG from him some ten months ago and
received his pay monthly ever since. but
he had failed to make any return of the
paltry sum. The matter was referred to
the Chief for settlement.
Fire hydrants were recommended to
be placed at the corner OF Patrick and
Hansen streets and 500 feet north Of Huff
street on Patton.
The Water Company was requested to
increase the capacity of its main into
Meadow Glenn, so as to admit of sutfi-
cient fire protection and to increase the
capacity for domestic purposes.
The matter of a contract for hay for the
department was brought up. The Chief
was ordered to buy ten tons.
The ordinance giving to one Bartlett
authority to establish fire patrol was
referred to the incoming Board of Fire
Commissioners.
A number of bills were allowed and the
Board adjourned for one week.

4 Strange Dream.
From the Irwinton CA Appeal.

A very strange thing in the way of a
dream by a little boy on East Mcintyre
street one night last week was told us on
Monday in this way: In his dream he
thought some one had entered the kitchen
for the purpose of robbing. He rose from
his slumber. as he imagined, took his gun
from the rack. and. on going to the back
door. fired at the robber, who was making
his escape from the kithen to the banister,
leaving blood on the floor and banister.
after this he returned to his bed of repose;
and. on rising next morning. thinking of
his dream. he went to the spot where he
imagined the man made his escape the
night before. and, TO his surprise, q lot of
blood was found on the floor and banister
at the same place where he had dreamed of
doing the shooting. There's nothing IN
: ..ream. it Is sometimes said, but this
case remains yet mystery TO be solved
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1889-11-08

Breakfast was late at Ivy Cottage on
the morning after the ball. Bertha
awoke feeling as if what had occurred
must have been a dream. She seemed
scarcely to realize it all, scarcely fully
to comprehend the changes that might
come. Her lovers fond words rang in
her ears, filling her heart with bliss
hitherto unknown-that, at any rate
was no dream, she told herself-and at
the same time what he had said re-
speCting her sisters marriage, vague as
it was. made her shiver with alarm.
She knew not what to dread, on which
side the blow would fall, but the con-
viction took firm possession of her that
something would yet intervene to break
off the match.
To her great JOY his letter arrived in
the afternoon, dispensing for the time
all doubts and fears. 1t was so sweet
to her TO read over and over again the
assurance of his undying love, to dwell
upon his words of eudearment. To be
his, to walk through life hand in hand
with him, was all she asked of fate.
Even If he should be obliged to leave
the country. rs he had said might be
the case, was there not space enough in
the world where they might be happy
with each other?
With these thoughts floating through
ner mind she fell asleep at night. St.
LawrenCe'S letter ClaSped in her hand.
Lena hrooded over her miseries, real
and imagined, after she went to bed,
till she could bear it no longer. She
rose. and, throwing a dressing gown
round her, she lighted her lamp, and
stole into Bertha's room. Standing by
the bedside, and shading the lamp with
her hand. she gazed upon the sleeper
a soft flush fingered on Bertha'S cheeks,
happy smile on her lips.
She softly drew the letter from be-
tween Bertha's loOSened fingers. and.
setting down the lamp. unfolded the
note and read it through-read how ut
terly she had deceived herself: how en-
tirely the love she had been Sinfully in
dulglng in was vain; read also her own
condemnation in the part she was act
ing. Tortured. Self-accused. torn by
conflicting passions, she stood, not
knowing whether TO go or stay, when
Bertha, reused by the light or by Iena's
movement, opened her eyes, and start
ed up in bed.

laugh. mol What should make me

Engineering News.


Until now the commercial manufacture
of luminous paint has been confined to Eng
land, where a single factory turns out
small supply at price of about 81 pound.
The enormous cost seems to have prevented
the use of the paint except as a curiosity,
but a firm named Mahren, at TrieSch. IN
Austria, has found means to produce Ii and
place it on the market at 30 cts. a pound
or about one-sixth of the English price.
Even at fifty cents a pound a substance
composed of roasted oyster shells and
sulphur might, one would suppose, be
manufactured at good profit,
but at that price it is likely to come into
extensive use. Wherever 1t can absorb
light during the day. it will give 1t forth
at night, and it is said that a railway car
in England, which has had It's ceiling
painted with it, was so brilliantly Illum-
mated that one could see to read a news
paper in it during the darkest night. with
out other light With all due allowance
for the enthusiasm Of early experimenters,
there is no doubt that cars with ceilings
so painted would be pleasant to ride in.
whether one could really see to read in them
at night or not; and for making keyholes.
stairways. and sign-boards luminous, the
paint would have advantages which have
been surprisingly little utilized. Its apph-
cation to stairways Is particular obvious
one. and the Austrian manufacturers
furnish a kind of wall paper on which the
paint can be used to better advantage than
to the bare plastering. The paper which
is of a leathery texture is first treated with
limewater and then primed with COM
position furnished by the same firm. After
this is dry, two thin coats of the luminous
paint are applied, and the whole may then
be vanished

Light in the Sick-Room.

Still custom prevails. despite all our
sanitary teachings, that the occupant of
the Slck-room IN the private house should
be kept at all hours in a darkened room.
Not one time in ten do we enter a sick
room In the daytime to find it blessed with
the sun. Almost invariably before We can
get a look at the face of the patient. we
are obliged to request that the blinds may
be drawn up, in order that the rays of
a much greater healer than the most able
physician can ever hope to be may be ad-
mitted. Too often the compliance with
this request reveals a condition of room
which in a state of darkness is almost in
evitably one of disorder everywhere;
foods, medicines, furniture. bedding mis-
placed; dust and stray leaves in all direc-
tons.
In brief, there is nothing so bad as a
dark sick room; it is as if the attendants
were anticipating the death of the patient.
and if the reason for it be asked. the an
swer Is as inconsistent as the act The
reason usually offered is that the patient
cannot bear the light; as though the light
could not be shut off from the patient by a
curtain or screen. and as though to darken
one part of the room it were necessary to
darken the whole of it. The real reason is
an old superstitious practice, which once
prevailed so intensely that the sick suffer
ing from the most terrible disease. small
pox for instance, were shut up in darkness.
their beds surrounded with red curtains.
during the whole of their illness. The
red curtains are now pretty nearly given
up, but the darkness is still accredited
with some mysterious curative virtue.
A more injurious practice really could
not be maintained than that of darkness in
the sick room. 1t is not only that dirt and
disorder are results of darkness, a great
remedy is lost. Sunlight is the remedy
lost. and the loss is momentous Sunlight
dltfused through a room warns and clari-
fies the air. 1t has direct influence on
the minute organic poisons, a distinctive
influence which is most precious. and it
has a cheerful effect upon the mind. The
sick should never be gloomy and in the
presence of the light the shadows of gloom
fly away. Happily the hospital ward, not
withstanding its many defects, and it has
many, is so far favored that it is blessed
with the light of the sun. whenever the
sun shines. In private practice the same
remedy ought to be extended to the pa
tients of household, and the first words
of the physician or surgeon on entering
the dark sick room should be the diving
words of Goethe: More light, more
light. '-B. w. Richardson, NJ D.
