The Time of Conva1escence.

Don't worry the sick ones in regard to
what they wish to eat. Fix up some
thing nice and tasty, serve it daintily
and reap the reward that a capricious
appetite will grant-the reward of seeing
the eatables disappear merely because
they were a pleasant and unexpected
surprise. Next, do not allow every
friendly neighbor to run in and sit for
hours until the flushed cheeks and too
brilliant eyes of the patient tell the story
of an overdose of company.
Do not let your charge be too eager for
rec~overy--far better a week or more of
idleness than a p~recipitate activity that
throws the invalid back once more upon
the sick bed. Be cheerful always. Bright
en- up the room with gay flowers whose
odor is not too heavy, but never permit
them to remain in the sickroom over
night. Keep your patient tidy and the
bedclothes smooth and cool as possible.
Speak in low tones, walk with soft tread
and be ever watchful against the slight
est indiscretion. To mothers this sort of
nursing comes naturally, but there are
some who must be told, as they err
through lack of that gentle Judgment
that is the secret of sickroom victories.

The Crow as e scavenger a Fraud.

A curious result of the religious riots
in Bombay has been the exposure of the
h~ollowness of the plea that has been put
forth for the crow as a scavenger. Lazy
governments in the east have been wont
to excuse their sanitary shortcomings on
the ground that "the crow, the pariah
dog and the kite" may be relied upon to
clear away the offal in the streets, but
the smells of Constantinople and Smyrna
have not been observed to be much the
less because the dogs eat of the offal
thrown from the houses, nor has Jerusa-
lem or Cairo been found to be any sweet
er from the presence of the mongrels who
destroy the repose of visitors.
In like manner the Bombay crow has
failed to justify his ancient reputation.
During the Bombay riots, when the OPP
erations of the city scavengers were
brought to a standstill, dead vermin and
offal accumulated in extraordinary guam
titles in the bazaars and slums of the ma
tive quarters till the city became a 'par-
adise for the crows" But the Bombay
crows entirely neglected this opportuni-
ty, and thus have come to be denounced
as sham sanitarians. London Tele-

The Same Kind of a Fool.


The republic of Madagonia had been
long and well represented at the court
of the king of Patagascar by an officer
called a dazzle, but n day the Madago-
hian parliament conferred upon him the
superior rank of dandee. The next day
after being apprised of his new dignity
he fastened to inform the king of Pata-
kascar.
"Ah, yes, I understand" said the king.
"You have been promoted and given in
creased pay and allowances. There was
an appropriations"
Eyes, your majesty"
"And you have now two heads, have
you not?"
ooh, no, your majesty-only n I as
ure YOU"
Indeed! And how many legs and
arms?''
1.-TWO of each, sire-only two of EACH"
"And only II body?"
"Just a single body, as you perceive"
Thoughtfully removing his crown and
scratching the royal head, the monarch
was silent q moment, and then he said:
81 fancy that appropriation has been
misapplied. You seem to be about the
same kind of a blank fool that you were
yesterday."-SaH Francisco Examiner.

Dainty DOggie.

A oma who was robed in a dress of
stylish make, and who showed by her
air that she was in the circle of the well
to do, was accompanied by 81 little pug
dog. The street was somewhat muddy
from the water that had been lavishly
sprinkled upon it by the city's watering
cart. Little PIGGY ran into the street,
where he saw a nice bit of bone, and
even his a~ristocratic breed and training
could not restrain him from taking at
least a few bites of it. He was inclined
to bring the choice tidbit to the pave
ment, but his mistress forbade this, so
he dropped the tempting morsel and
skunk on to the sidewalk again.
But in puggy's nibblings at the bone
he had muddied his little flattened out
nose. The woman scolded him as seri-
ously as tho Ugh he were a child. Heac-
knowledged the business of the repri-
mand by dropping his aristocratic head
in a remorseful manner. His mistress
thereupon p~tted his head, and taking a
delicate lace edged handkerchief from her
handbag, deliberately wiped dear, naugh-
ty little puggv's nose.-Boston Herald.

of Gold.

In the Witwatersrand goldfield, South
Africa, an experimental boring has just
been completed to the depth Of $500 feet
for the purpose of testing the quantity
and quality of the auriferous deposits
there. The results are said to be most
satisfactory. and a Mr.. Scott Alexander
has based on them the following extraor-
binary calculations: Circumference Of
basin, 400 miles; diameter, 1877 miles;
area. 12, $50 square miles, or 300, 710,272,-
900 square feet. Taking an average thick

She surprised the Board.

Mrs. Stowe-G Cullen, NJ. D., of the To
ronto school board recently surprised
that body by showing that the appoint
ment of four public school supervisor
was illegal. She introduced a resolution
abolishing the useless office, pointed out
clearly that the law gave the board no
power to appoint any such officials, hence
that they were spending annually $4,000
OF the peoples money without legal au-
thority. The board could not gainsay
her argument and SO adopted her resolu-
tion.-Toronto Mail.

ANOTHER 1-2C GAINED
Liberal Buying of Wheat Prevents
an Intended Bear Raid.
Closing Price on the Last Trade of the
Year Was 66 1-8c, Top Figures for
the Day-Pork Was Zoe Higher.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The last trading day
of the year wound up with wheat &c higher,
the advance being due to liberal buying,
light receipts and reports of export buying
at St. Louis. Corn gained sc, oats a like
amount, and provisions closed firm, with
pork and ribs higher and lard unchanged.
Influenced by the free buying of yester-
day, wheat opened higher, with May sc up,
at 65%c. There was some heavy selling at
that figure. Prices declined about hc and
the market was easier for about an hour,
Partridge leading the selling. Some liberal
buying orders made their appearance in
time, however. to prevent a further break
and the market began to firm up again.
The receipts here were ninety cars, and
Minneapolis and Duluth modestly reported
but $40 cars in the Northwest. This encour-
aged the traders who were inclined TO buy,
and the offerings were readily taken. Liver
pool was quoted steady, with more DISPOSE
ton to buy. The c~leaIances from the four
principal Atlantic ports to-day, exclusive OF
New Orleans, amounted, in wheat and flour,
to 34O.O 900 bushels. and were a potent iniu-
ence in the bullish news of the day. There
were plenty of buyers as the session neared
the end, and May closed at the top hgureS
of the day, 66kc.
Corn was firm on free buying by Hess.
Bar-tlett-Frasier, f. NJ. Baxter and other
traders. May opened &c higher, at $3.50,
lost &c, sold up kc, and reacted 1sc TO close
but &c from the top, at 3S7sc.
Oats were a shade firmer in sympathy
with the larger markets. May opened un-
changed, at 30Ac. lost hc, sold up 1@c. and
closed at the top figures, 309sc.
Provisions were firm but dull. Hog re-
