Good win and Sense in the sickroOm.

Good Will and Sense in the Sickroom.
Good will counts for very little by it5sg
in a sickroom. Of all persons in the world
a nurse must know how to go ahead and
do what needs to be done without Ques-
tons and without fuss. Mrs. Swisshelm
had new appreciation OF this truth when
she came to need nurse for herself after
wearing herself out in nursing wounded
soldiers. She says:
When | lay i'll a friend told me of an ex-
cellent woman who had come from affair
and rendered her services to the govern
ment She had exerted much influence and
spent much effort to get into hospital as
nurse, but had failed.
Hearing of my illness her desire to be
useful led her to tender her services. Her
generous offer was accepted, and was left
for an Afternoon Ia her care.
wanted a cup of tea. She went to the
kitchen to make it, and one hour after
came up with cup of tea, only this and
nothing more, save a saucer. To taste
the tea / must have a spoon, and to get
one she must 90 along hall, down long
flight of stairs, through another hall and
the kitchen, to the pantry.
When she had made the trip the tea was
30 much too strong that spoonful would
have made a cup. She went down again
for hot water, and after she had gone to
the kitchen remembered that she had
thrown the water away, thinking it would
not be wantedi
The fire had gone out and the woman
came up to inquire if she should make
new one, and if so, where she should find
kindlings.
She had spent almost two hours in run
ming to and fro, was all in a perspiration
and fuster, had done me great deal of
harm and no one any good, had wasted all
the kindlings for the evening fire, had used
tea enough to serve large family for
meal and had fairly illustrated large part
of the hospital service rendered by women
oppressed with the nursing mission.

Oh, HOUSE OF MANY MANSIONS.

Oh, house Of many mansions,
Thy doors are open wide,
And dear are all the faces
Upon the other side.
Thy portals they are golden.
And those who enter in
Shall know no more Of sorrow,
OF WEAKNESS. of sin
Oh, house of many mansions,
Ny weary spirit waits
And longs to join the ransomed
Who enter through thy gates;
Who enter through thy portals,
The mansions Of the blest;
Who come to thee aweary.
And find in thee their rest.
Thy walls are not of marble,
Oh, house not built with hands,
Isigh for thee while waiting
Within these border lands
know that but in dying
Thy threshold Is crossed DER;
There shall be no more sorrow
In thy forevermore-

HOW CALLAHAN WENT TO THE WALL

There was man named Callahan who paid
goodly sum
For clothes to wear. and always looked as
spruce as chewing gum.
His coat and vest were neatly pressed, his hat
had not a speck,
And neither had his shirt front, nor the collar
round his neck.
This noble youth. to tell the truth, set very
little store
On anything the earth contained aside from
what he wore.
Let others play" he used to say, "let others
smoke and drink;
But as for me III stand before the looking
glass and prink-
Alackl A lass! 1t came to pass when Cal was
twenty-four
He met girl much loveiier than any clothing
store:
And after that he sat and sat and heaved sigh
after sigh.
And thought no moro about his coat, his collar
or his tie
In the case Of you, twas likely true that when
love touched yopr heart
You fixed yourself up like dude and looked
exceeding smart.
But Mary Ann from Callahan drove every
other thought;
Like the number l0-she was the l and he was
simply O.
He popped-was spurned. She saw there
burned within his heaving breast
True love, but she could never wed a man 30
poorly dressed
She said. No, and LET him 60 from dear old
Hackensack-
To wander setting-sun-ward with his old
clothes on his back.
His courage gone, he plodded on. his form be-
gan to shrink,
he begged his food and used what little cash
he had for drink;
And so in rags, and so in jags he journeyed to-
ward the west,
Until one day he laid himself beside stream
TO rest.
Beside stream which served for steam to run
a paper mill
Lay Callahan. the wanderer. a-sleeping sound
and still;
And lying there, the shaggy hair concealing all
his face,
He looked just like heap OF rags TO those
within the place.
Poor Callahan! The workmen ran and put
him in bag;
They pushed him in. they damned him in, they
gathered every rag;
They felt no bones, his muffled tones they did
not hear at all,
And Callahan-he's paper now on some ones
parlor wall.

Power of Gems on Bad Eyes.

The ruby was considered good for de
rangement of the liver as well as for bad
eyes. The sapphire and emerald were also
credited with properties which rendered
them capable of influencing ophthalmic
disorders, and there is superstitious be-
lief that serpents are blinded by looking at
the latter stone.-Queries Magazine.

roothpicks by the million.

A factory near Paris makes annually 90
600 900 quill toothpicks, and is the largest
establishment of it's kind in the world. 1t

use it was converted into a toothpick mill.
