where he may see you easily, but not on the
bed. Have ears for your patient; determine
for yourself whether noise worries or weariea
him. Many sick persons will endure noise
rather than complain of it when the endur-
ance is positive injury.
POSITION IN BED.
Patients will often choose their own posi-
ton in bed and their notions pertaining
thereto are unanswerable. Many persons
iujure their eyes by reading during conva-
lescence when the eyes are weak. Espe-
cially is this true after measles, and some
other diseases. Not long ago saw a young
lady treated for spinal curvature, which was
induced by the habit OF lying with pillow
stuffed under one side during convalescence
from typhoid fever.
Patients who have been long off their feet
soon loose the elasticity Of the tendons of
the leg and feet and q tendency to shorten
ing ensues.
The limbs should be Strengthened every
day and the feet moved, the forward part OF
the feet swung upward toward and back
ward from the knee, thus lengthening and
shortening the tendons and using the
muscles which control its motion.
have seen many cases where the pillows
were without method or comfort, and re-
call one instance where permanent injury
was done to the already weakened spine by
allowing the pillows for many days to make
a bend OF the neck forward, the patient
lying on her back. J. BIS.

PECULIAR THEATRICAL HISTORY
Recalled by Two Pictures Hanging in @
Chicago Managers Office.

Recalled by Two Pictures Hanging in a
Chicago Manager OGice.
Chicago Tribune.l
Two photographs of the old school hang
in the Office of the manager OF McVicker's g
Theater. One is that of n. M. Ludlow. It
was taken in 1880, on Ludlow's Sc tn birth
day, and sent by Ludlow to James H. Nc
Wicker. Ludlow was manager of the com.
pany in New Orleans in which James II.
McVicker was call-boy. That was some
where in the vicinity of 1888. There is no
such thing in the theater OF to-day as a
call-boy. What were the duties of call
boy in theater? The prompter had the
characters in the plays Numbered, and Just
before they were to appear the prom pter
would say to the call-boy:
"Call No. - from the green room,"
And that was the first work Manager Nc
Wicker did on the stage
The other picture is that of Tom Davey. It
was sent to Louie Sharpe by Davey as a rec

New Orleans. That was in 1858. Davey was

Bar lived, and, pointing out the house,
said:
Now, do you stay here and keep your
eye on that door, and when Mr.. De Bar

Sharpe was left alone. Old Ben did not
appear for some time that morning. He was
several hours late. Sharpe had had no
breakfast. He had 10 cents and that was
all. He hung to the spot, however, only
leaving it to invest his only money in fruit
at street stand near by. While he was
eating De Bar came out and Sharpe made
known his want.
$50 you want to go on the stage?" said De
Bar. "Well, come along, we'll see Davey."
And that was the beginning of the
theatrical life of Assistant Manager Sharpe.

Bedsteads should be on castors. Cotton
sheets are better than linen ones except in
very hot weather. Pillows need to be aired
and shaken up frequently
HOW TO CHANGE SHEETS.
The change of sheets of bed ON which a
helpless patient lies is an easy or q difficult
task according as you do it. Let the pa
tlent rest toward one side of the bed, and
roll the soiled under sheet lengthwise up
beside him, spread the clean sheet on the
part of the mattress thus uncovered, and up
near the patient place the folded unopened
half Of the sheet, as you see in the cut. Then
gently lift the shoulders of the patient
towards the other side of the bed; then his
hips and feet and then remove the soiled
sheet thus liberated, and bring over in its
sheet.
A we'll person, certainly a sick one,
should never be allowed to go to bed with
cold feet in summer or winter. 1t inter-
feres with sleep as well as with comfort, and
the nights rest is not one-half as refreshing
as it would be if the feet were warm. Rub
them vigorously with dry, coarse towel, or
bathe them with warm water, rub dry and
draw on warm loose stockings; or at any
time when they are cold in bed let large
well-stoppered bottle of hot water be
wrapped IN towel and applied to the feet.
This is preferable to the hot irons or bricks
or soap stones commonly suggested. Bottles
or jugs OF water retain the heat much longer,
have no sharp corners to injure sensitive
flesh and are always clean.
THE FATAL CHILL.
You should remember that persons in
sickness do not produce heat as they do in
health, and your constant watchfulness in
some cases Is necessary every hour, every
halt hour, and in extreme cases constantly.
The hand should be placed over the surface
OF the body and extremities to learn of their
condition. Many patient has sunk rapidly
and died from the want of precaution. 1t
may seem little thing; it may be little
thing at the beginning, but your whole
duties are made up of trifes and so is per-
lection, but perfection is no trifle"
The fatal chill is most apt to occur toward
early morning at the period of the lowest
temperature of the "a hours, and at
the time when the effect of the
previous days diet is exhausted.
Generally speaking you may expect that
weak patients will suffer cold much more in
the morning than in the evening. The
vital powers are much lower. If they are
teverish at night, with burning hands and
feet, they are almost sure to be chilly and
shivering in the morning. Some nurses are
too ond of heating the Ieet warmer at night

PRETTY SHEEPSKINS.
Tied With Gay Ribbon and Decorated

College Training Helps, but Ceaseless Effort

C0RNELL'S COURSE In JOURNALISM
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH

ID,
college commandments are ripe, and
hundreds of young men are being cast upon
the world with ribbon-bedecked roll of
parchment in their hands. An argument
which asserts that college education is
detrimental to business progress is hardly
borne out by the lacts, but that young man
who imagines that a diploma from second
or third, or even frst-class educational
institution will fit him for life's active
duties makes a sad mistake. A sheepskin
decorated with Latin fourishes is something
to be priced, but if endeavor terminates with
its possession life will be sad failure,
There never was an age in the worlds
history when practicability was SO much in
the ascendencv as now. This is peculiarly
fact in the United States. On some lines
it's to be lamented, for as poetry and senti-
ment is 81 ted out of life it becomes harsh
and dry. Some people think American life is
too crisp and angular. But we must take
things as they are. A classical education, with
out a liberal admixture of hard common sense
Will not tit a man to rub against the age in
which our lot is cast. That young man who
supposes his parchment can be used as q lever
to lift him into eminence will find that he
needs o fulcrum before it can be utilized sue
cessfully. He must have experience IN the
world. and too often he will find that the full
crum costs more than the lever.

There are many things that colleges cannot
do. Cornell failed to make journalists, and
abolished the course. showing great wisdom in
thus acting. Journalism is learned only in one
school, and that the academy of practical ex-
perienee. The exigencies of great daily paper
like THE DISPATCH cannot be imagined with
in the cloisters of college. Real education is
not gained by stimulation. A college training is
a good foundation for journalism. if it is not
made too much of. but it no more fits man for
the peculiar function OF journalist than the
canal boat captaincy fits a man to run an ocean
steamer. The writer would not be understood
as in any sense seeking to depreciate che value
of careful university training. Let every boy
strive for the very best. We live in a country
where real merit is bound to find its reward, but
let not our young men imagine that because
they have passed through the hands of college
professors that all wisdom resides in their
minds, and that the less fortunate mortals are
of necessity inferior in intellect. The posses
sion of certificate of graduation proves moth
ing, unless results are produced N after years.
Success to all who expect soon to try the stern
realities of life. Remember that Christianity
and learning are becoming more and more
synonomous, and that the richest life Is that
which, while seeking for and acquiring tile cul-
ture of this world. neglects not To prepare for
the higher and nobler life, where disappoint-
ment and defeat are unknown.

Mattresses are preferable to feather beds,
and woven wire bed with blankets on it is
best of all. The pillows should not be too
hard, too full or too large, but there should
be plenty Of them. The under sheet should
be large enough to fold under the mattress
all around. that it may be kept smooth.
The draw sheet, or rubber sheet. or enamelled
cloth sheet, when used, should be tour feet
long and reach across the bed, tucking un-
der on both sides. Sand bags are of vary
ing diameter and from one to four feet long.
They are placed hot in the bed to keep it
warm. They are also used to steady broken
limbs and assist in keeping them in position.

Caste Against TaIent.

In the vast army of college graduates who
have been launched upon the ocean Of life
these few weeks past, are undoubtedly men
who will develop in intellectual power with
passing years. Upon them, will hinge. to a
measured degree, the destiny Of our country.
All good men should pray that, while the age
advances with giant stride along the highway
of perpetual evolution, caste and clique may
not so predominate as to debar native talent
from enjoying its legitimate reward, for be IL
known that all men of eminence have not
graduated from collegiate institutions. Ihere
Are hundreds of massive minds that have been
trained In the uncharitabe school of rugged
experience who have to say, "Alas, have no
alma mater" God speed our colleges in the
spread of knowledge. the most potential 1nhu-
ence as a vehicle for virtue and Christianity.
