Scarcity of Houses,

Never in the history of our city
were houses in such demand, in fact
the daily inquiry for residences for
families cannot be satisfied by our real
estate firms. 1t is a matter of impor-
tant consideration on the part of our
owners of vacant lots whether they
shall wait to find purchasers who will
build their own tenements or 60 to
work and put up houses to rent to the
host of people who are daily coming
into our city seeking homes.
No better investment of CAPT.
tai could be made than in first
class tenement houses, with mod
ern conveniences, or small cottages
of from three to five rooms, suitable
for small families. Our building and
loan associations might widen their
usefulness by putting their capital in
to small houses, and favoring proper
ty owners by liberal terms and mod
crate interest.
We call the attention of capitalists
to our city as furnishing the best field
for investment of any city in the South
today. Syndicates to put up "fats"
would do better here than in any city
in the South.

"SHE.''


The Brady version of Rider Hag-
CARDS "She," given before large au-
dience at the Academy, both on Mon
day and Tuesday evenin gs, is much
superior dramatic performance to that
seen at the Chicago Opera house.
Whatever ones opinion of the novel,
with its strained fantastic plot, it be-
came popular, and for it's plot the
Brady has followed the book more
closely than Mr.. Gillette did, begin
ming the play with a prologue in
which Leo's father makes Horace
Holly promise to be his sons guar
dian. He has furnished the piece
with much more scenic opportunity,
and If it could be shown on a larger
stage than the Academy offers it
would be gorgeous spectacular dis
play. The dialogue is also better,
more dramatic, stronger in expression,
and is generally more smoothly Gen.
stIucted. Next to "Shen Marie
Renee and Ustane Miss Corlette),
Holly (Mr. Webster), has the best
part. There are appropriate dances
and music in the piece which add
greatly to the effect. The absurd
American traveller, logged into the
Gillette version, is not found in this.
The chief comedy work is rather curl
ously given to the witch, who asks
Job for a husband, and the part of the
latter is hardly made amusing
enough. The performance is a very
good one for those who enjoy the fam
tastic in drama.-ChicagO Times.

FEEDING THE SICK.
Valuable Hints for Women Who Ha,
Charge of Invalids.

Valuable Hints for Women Who Have
Charge of Invalids.
1t Is rarely easy and almost always
very difficult to persuade the sick to
take nourishment in sufficient quantity,
and the successful nurse must be rich
in expedients. Her persuasive power
must be great. She must be patient
and yet firmly persistent until her
whole duty is done. There are certain
general rules for her to observe. A few
of them we will give.
All foods for the sick should be of the
very best quality, we'll cooked, palata-
bly, seasoned and attractiyely served.
A savory dish will always sharpen the
appetite of one in health, and it must
have stimulating influence upon a
delicate patient, to whom the fiat and
insipid preparations usually offered arc
loathsome and even nauseating.
Surprise is frequently a useful ele-
ment in the dietetic treatment of the
sick. Something unexpected will often
be acceptable, when, were the patient
consulted and advised of what was being
prepared for him, would take away all
appetite for it. Cooking in the sick
room is, of course, always forbidden,
nor should the smell of food be allowed
to reach the patient If it is possible to
prevent it. Absolute neatness in the
service of food is prime consideration.
There is more to the patient in clean
napkins, spotless china, ETC., than many
think. A slovenly nurse is out of place
| anywhere. If the doctor directs that
certain foods be given hot, he means
that they should be hot, and not merely
warm, in which condition some foods
are very insipid.
Occasionally one sees the nurse tast-
tient-a most objectionable habit. No
more food should be at one time taken
into the sick-room than is likely to be
| eaten, and whatever is not eaten should
| be at once removed. Nurses often leave
it in sight, in the hope that the patient
| may want it a little later, but almost in
variably they are disappointed. 1t is
quite common thing for the physician
| to find milk in glass or pitcher stand
ing near the beside of his patient, and
often the appearance of the glass is such
that even a person with the strongest
kind of stomach would not care to
| drink from it. OF all foods, milk prob
ably takes up impurities the easiest.
Hence, to keep it exposed to the air of a
sick-room or any other bad air is to SIM
ply render it unfit for use. A nurse
with any thing approaching neatness
would never allow glass which has
held milk to be used second time with
out carefully washing and rinsing.
Some consult their own convenience al
together too much in feeding the sick.
Food ought to be given at regular inter
walls when possible.-The Trained
Nurse.

"One-twenty-La Bretagne, OH Tue
SANDY Hook Light ship" At the same
time, the message is repeated in the
Office of the steamers agents, anu
scarcely five minutes elapse when on
tho blackboards outside their Offices Is
this legend: 1.-THE steamer La pre-
tango, from Havre, passed the LlghT
shin at LEO; will be up to her dock
about 1880"
Passers-by scan the board; the Gus
toms authorities get ready to send their
cutter down the bay to meet the
steamer. Persons having friends on
board and who have made arrange
ments with the telegraph company re-
ceive a copy of the dispatch ana ge'
ready to meet their friends.
All this is done, and yet but few OF
those who are notified know any thing
about the Sandy Hook light-shlp. buC
the passengers on the steamer DO ana SO
does every one who has crossed the
ocean.
1t was my good fortune to spend
short time on the Sandy Hook lightshlp
some time ago.
She was built expressly for the service
she is doing. and is strong and stanch-
calculated to weather any sea. She Is
81 feet long and "a feet wide.
The cabin is large and roomy. On
either side of it are two lockers, which
run its entire length, and in these the
crew keep their clothes and other per-
sonal property. Above the lockers are
six berths. The interior Of the cabin Is
fitted up neatly, and pictures decorate
the walls.
The crew, which consists of six men,
including the cook, occupy the galley,
and close by is the lamp room, where the
lamps and the oil which is used in them
are kept. Here the lamps are trimmed
and cleaned, preparatory to being run up
as beacons The lamps have red globes,
and these are fixed in row between
several oil tanks, while alongside them
are wicks, cotton and other material.
Usually the lights consist OF sixteen
rejecting lamps. Eight Of these are
hoisted each evening at sunset, and form
circles about the two masts. They throw
crimson rays which can be seen for miles.
This is the welcome signal that land is
near at hand. A lookout is always sta
toned on board, and with the aid of a pow
erful glass sights the incoming steamers
when they are miles away. The steam
er displays her signals, which are read
by him, and he in turn signals the tele-
graph operator, and thus the word
flashes to the city telling just when any
particular steamer VIII arrive, while she
is vet well out on the sea.
The life led by the men who make
the ship their home is indeed lonely
one. Each crew spends three months on
the ship.
During rough weather-as, for in
stance, during the recent hurricane
the crew hasn't particularly pleasant
berth. The ship dances about on the
waves and rolls and losses madly in her
endeavor to get loose, but the chains
that hold her fast to the two heavy
anchors are equal to any emergency

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-IIay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
