IN THE SICK o
Practical Hints to Be Applied by the
Home Nurse.

Practical Hints to Be Applied by the
Home Nurse.
Sickness is a calamity from which no
flesh is exempt. There are balms for
the wounds of the rich, but the poor
must bear their own infrmities. With
love, exquisite neatness, patience, en-
enlargement, quiet, and a little hospi-
tai learning wondrous cures can be
wrought.
A piece of new muslin dipped in a
glass of cool water will remove sordes
from the teeth and cool the lips of a
patient. Sore lips should be anointed
with a little diluted water.
If child has sore eyes wiring a sponge
out of warm water containing a pinch
of salt and trickle a stream on the in.
famed lids, letting the water run to-
ward the nose. AS there is the danger
of contagion the drying towel should
not be used by others.
Chewing will stop the ordinary nose
bleeding, and the shock of dropping a
cold key Or a handful of pennies down
the back will often give relief. In case
of a sever attack, syringe the nasal
cavity with cold salt water. If this
does,not stop the flow of blood, throw the
head back, raise the arms up as far as
possible, and apply cold sponges to the
bridge of the nose and the back of the
neck.
The quickest way to treat a burn or
scald is to cover it with carron oil and
-four and bandage with linen. In case
of p~rostration from either accident, adj
minister a mild stimulant.
When a delicate person is fatigued
and has no appetite sponging the body
with bathing whisky. diluted alcohol
or milk, will nourish the system and
produce rest or refreshing sleep.
A bug in the ear may be drowned out
with a little warm water. Apply with
a sponge or syringe, and after each in
lection incline the head with a jerk
so as to dislodge the contents of the
cavity.
Distressing vomiting may be relieved
by applying to the stomach a hot
single or wooden pad brought from
the oven.
In cases of sleeplessness as we'll as
sickness frequent changes of pillows
will have a soothing influence. The
case should fit the pillow and be kept
smooth. A change Of nightgowns is
r~estful. and the refreshing sense of
cool water or some spicy toilet water,
like lavender or orange flowers, ap-
piled to the forehead, throat, hands
and feet can not be overestimated.
A patient should never be raised sud-
denly to receive food. drink or medi-
cine. Aside from distressing the suf-
ferer there is danger of heart trouble.
Place the arm under the pillow and
gently force the invalid into a position
between lying and sitting. Medicine
cups and porcelain spoons are now in
general use, and save considerable IN
necessary torture
To induce a little baby or a growing
child to put out his tongue drop aIittle
sweet oil on the upper lip.
Only bright, happy, healthy subjects
should be discussed in the hearing of a
sick or ailing person.-Chicago Times

An Abscess IN the Church.

There is a negro church in Somer-
vile, and some funny things happen
there. It seems that there was a little
recess behind the pulpit which was
used for the pastors dressing-room.
One day in a heavy rain the fresco fell
with a crash upon the floor. Prepare
tions were made to repair the damage
with the customary African prompt
ness. The pastor, however, soon got
disguised, and one morning, after get
ting his feet covered with the dusty
mortar, he assembled the pulpit. Cast
ing his eye upon the dusky deacons of
of the church he announced with dig
nifty: "Bredren and s~istern, it GIBBS yo'
pastor great pain to call attention to
the state of affairs in dis yere church,
but, bredren, de Gospel in dis yere
church must cease to be dispensed with
till de abscess in de rear OBJ de pulpit am
fricasseed."
The fresco was put up next day

INTERESTING INFORMATION.
A Few Odd Facts Gathered Together
from Various Sources.

A Few Odd Facts Gathered Togethe,
from Various Sources.
There are a mum Der of societies in
the world that bear strange names, but
probably III of the most curious was a
club founded in 1875 by an English ac-
toS 1t was called THE Sublime So
ciety of Beefsteaks," and had among
its members the prince of Wales and
other royal personages. They met in
the painting room of the Covent Gar
den theater and dined upon beefsteaks.
The ddb was in existence for more
than a hundred years, and became
quite noted because of its odd customs.
Another strange name was that Of
The Scriblerus club" which Swift
founded in 1714, and to which Pope,
Gay and other literary men belonged
Sedan chairs were used in England
by the duke of Buckingham during the
reign of James /. The first chair
aroused much indignation among the
people, who said that men were being
used to do the work of beasts, but later
on they became very fashionable.
The fashion of saying God bless
you!" after sneezing originated with
the ancients. These people believed
that some danger attended sneezing, SC
they generally made a short prayer,
such as Jupiter, help me" Ithas been
found to be the custom among savages
to do the same, and Jewish rabbis also
make mention of the fact. An old
Roman writer says that the custom
originated during a plague, when peo-
pie who were seemingly in good health
sneezed and fell down dead.
Bagpipes are generally ascribed to
Scotland, where they have been in use
fci a long time, but it was an instru-
ment upon which the ancient Greeks
and Romans played. Nero is said to
have performed upon it, and an old
piece of Grecian sculpture represents a
player IN the bagpipes dressed in the
fashion that is known to-day as the
Highland costume. -Waverley Maga-
zine.

1t would do the Advertiser some
credit if it published the whole of
Mr.. Neumann's precis, instead of
picking out documents therein con-
tanned for ridicule. That papers
assumed pleasantly over Minister
Parker's offer of protection to the
United States Legation is only to
hide its concern for the effect of all
this true history's coming before the
United States public. The publica-
ton of the correspondence between
the late Government and United
States Minister Stevens reveals the
fact previously denied that the revo-
luton was a work of conquest by
United States forces. 1t is this fact
that has given pause to the United
States Congress, deterring it from
the consummation of annexation
without full inquiry.

an article in the Edinburgh Review
for January on "The Penury of
Russia" also from paper by julius
H. Ward in the Atlantic Monthly,
entitled, "The White Mountains in

the terrible results of the devasta-
ton of forests in Russia, in changing
once fruitful and populous areas of
great extent into bleak deserts. In
the other article the danger of utter
destruction to the forests in the
White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire is indicated, the destructive
agents being the paper maker and

To-day Mr.. Kane on behalf of the

Judge Whiting has appointed G.

of Mr.. Ascheim who is incapacitated

THE TAX Assessor.

Another document from the
Brown VS.. Spencer case lately de-
cided in the Circuit Court, and now
pending on appeal in the Supreme
Court, appears to-day. This is an
affidavit by Hon. Jos. Nawahi, alleg
ing an attempt to bribe him, as a
member of the Legislature, made by
Mr.. G. A. Brown, Tax Assessor of
Oahu. Amidst all the talk about
bribery at the late session, this is
the only sworn testimony in black
and white of anything of the kind
1t is strange that this blackening
testimony should be against men,
ber of the party that gave bribery
and corruption as among the chief
reasons for engaging in the late revo-
lution In reality, nobody has been
able to produce charge, much less
proof, of bribery and corruption
against the party that Mr.. Brown
and his fellow-partisans-it would
be cruel to them to say his friends
were using all sorts of disreputable
means to defeat in the Legislature.
The Provisional Government has in
nothing shown more disrespect to the
community of taxpayers than in al
lowing man having so much
charged against him as Mr.. Brown
to resume possession of the Tax
Office without having the charges
against him strictly investigated
Especially is the case bad when ii
was necessary to give him fresh
appointment, as otherwise he has
no legal right to hold the posi-,
tion, an appeal having been taken
on his claim from the Circuit Court
to the Supreme Court. Although
under the law as amended by the
late Legislature all the assessors will
have to be new appointments after
March 81, the Provisional Govern
ment has, by even temporarily Civ
ing the office back to Mr. Brown
lost an opportunity of showing that
it has some respect for public opin
ion and regard for honor and inte
gritty in the public service.

limit of size below which no tree
shall be cut, and it is related that
certain private companies owning
mountain lands have already adopt
ed this rule for their own protec-
ton. Even the rivers Of Russia are
drying up from the cause Of forest
destruction, the following being in
stances given in the Edinburgh Re-
views article: "The Woronesh, on
which Peter the Great built his first
ships, is now mere rivulet; the
Worskla, which fifteen years ago was
beautiful river, surrounded by
woods and pastures, has absolutely
disappeared; the Okla has become a
so shallow that barges coming from
Nishegorod were stranded upon its
sands" The article shows, in the
following remarks, that Russia has
locked the stable after the steed had
been stolen: "It is evident that even
the most costly works for opening
the channels will be of little avail:
the cause lies in the devastation of
the forests; the law by which the
government interdicted the ruthless
fall of timber has come too late, and
replanting is slow work, although it
is the only remedy against the evil"
Chief Justice Judd's decision in the
Kohala water case, reported in yes
terday's BULLETIN, contains, in its
statement of the facts, mention OF
the denudation of the forests as the
cause of the failure of streams in
that district during dry seasons

Tomatoes and Cancer.

In late issue of the London
Times appeared a letter to the editor
containing the following: "There is
very prevalent idea that eating
tomatoes is an exciting cause of
cancer, and for the last two years
we have been so inundated with let
ters on this subject that the Medical
Committee of the Cancer Hospital
would be greatly obliged by your
publishing in the Times their opin-
ion--viz., that tomatoes neither pre-
dispose to nor excite cancer forma-
tion, and that they are not injurious
to those suffering from this disease,
but are, on the contrary, svery
