THE SICK ROOM.
The Habit of Observation an Excellent
Qualification for Nurse.

A woman who is a trained nurse. in a
course of lectures on her profession saws
there is no such thing as a born n,7ree
the habit of observation is duty and the
basis of nursing, which is an art only to
be learned by practice.
A sunny SICK room' one that..is entered
by the sun once in twenty-four hours, is
desirable; patients placed on the soutb
side in hospital ward recover sooner
by from ten days to fortnight than
those on the north side Plenty of light
is beneficial, except in cases of brain dis
ease. 4 The less furniture in the room the
better and tol keep it clean damp buster
should be used instead of dry one.
The air must be kept as pure inside as
outside, and there is little or no fisk
about having theSwindow open, top and
bottom, if the patient is we'll covered
head included, and good fire kept burn
ing. Night air is not injurious; it is mr.
err in a city after ten p. M, than aft any
other time
The bed should never be in a corner
but accessible from all points. In fever
and surgical cases, a "oradle'' has some
times to be used to keep off the weight
of the bedclothes; an impromptu cradle
can be made out of a bandbox, with the
bottom knocked out.
Bedmaking is the grammar and key
stone of nursing; many regular nurses
cannot make good bed. 1t is important
to act with decision when the time
comes for any office, and not to worry tie
patient by hesitation or talking of what
is to be done; to tread quietly but firmly,
not to tip-toe, and never to whisper to a
third person.

midnight Amateur nurses often broke

when keeping watch through the night.

Long Island Plantation And the Condition
of the People.
To the Editor Of the Press:

Black Island, Me-, Aug 10, 1895.
In your issue of Saturday, Aug. Sd, we
notice an article ON the State Beneficiaries
in which you speak of Councillor E. Dud-
ley Freeman's visit to Long Island Plan
tatin and give his statements of the desti-
tuition of the plantation. Judging from
his statement we should say that Mr..
Freeman had not visited Long Island
Plantation, but had heard some gossip
about it, and accepted it as facts.
He says, sit consists of sixteen Islands
only one of which is populated. y The
one island to which he refers-Long
Island-certainly is not the only island
that is populated. There are families on
some of the smaller islands, while Black
Island, one of the SIXTEEN" boasts of a
larger population than Long Island A
year ago there were one hundred and
seventy-f1ve persons on Black Island more
than one hundred Of whom were men
working for good wages. During the
winter there was term of fourteen
weeks school with twenty eight pupils.
time. Browne, McAllister & Co. of
New York City are doing granite bust
ness on the island having two extensive
quarries here and employing hundred
or more men. For the last three years they
have paid out $50, 900 year for labor
alone. The people are neither poor nor
'tthinly clad.' There is not pauper on
the island, but all are intelligent. indus
trious people. Meat is not San entirely
unknown quantity" by any means. The
people are as healthy and we'll fed as
those in any enterprising town.
We would suggest that Mr.. Freeman
revisit Long Island Plantation and find
Black Island alone, but we doubt if the
inhabitants of Long Island would care to
be represented as paupers

Quite serious accident occurred here
this afternoon between five and six
o'clock. Mr.. John D. Spiller, manager of
he Golden Tonic company, has lately
bought span of nice large horses for his
company, and this Wednesday afternoon
he thought he would hitch them up and
take little ride and exercise them, as
they had not been out for number of
days. They were feeling very nice, and
one of them reared little, and when he
came down he put one forward leg over
the pole. This made him jump, and in
so doing the reins were pulled out of Mr.
Spiller's hands, and the horses started to
run, throwing Mr.. Spiller out, striking
against a picket fence, bruising him
about the face, and all over his bodys
tanning both arms and legs, but no bones
were broken, and if he is not hurt in
ternally his injuries will not prove
the doctors fears he may have received in
ternal injuries He had his fifteen year
| old daughter with him, and she stuck to
| the carriage. The horses soon brought up
against telephne pole, one going on one
| side of the pole and one on the other side.
When they cleared the wagon and started
on further run up Spring street, the
young lady went over the fender and into
the street, striking on her face and hands,
spraining her arms quite badly. Dr.
Knights is attending them.
| George Robinson's five months old baby
died this afternoon from cholera in
iantum. 1t mad only been sick twenty
four hours.
Miss Cora Smith, bookkeeper for the
Haskell Silk company, is in Boston for
a weeks vacation.
Mr. Harry Mooney of Brockton, Mass,
who is travelling all over the United
States making shoes for the governors Of
each state, was in this city, Wednesday
evening. He delivered short address
on Main street, and offered his
picture and short poem of his own com
position for sale.
Mrs. Kennard, former resident Of this
place, who has been at the Insane asylum
for the past twenty five years, died al
that institution Tuesday and will be
brought here for burial this afternoon.

government leaulnS TO the Issue OF SUBSIDY
bonds.
The report shows in detail the amount
OF the subsidy bonds, the amount Of the
interest which the governm ent has paid
on them ana the amount OF the first
mortgage bonds. The secretary says the
governmnt is already out Sill, i36. 600
upon these roads and that the first mort
gage bonds only amounted to S6l, 6l3, 900;
chat property is worth vastly more then
the first mortgage bonds, and that tina
government interests can be protected, IL
necessary, by taking up these bonds.
he says all of these bonds are now ma
turing and draw & per cent? that they
could easily be replaced with q 3 per cent
pond II the govern ent guaranteed them,
ana as the governments holds second
lien ana must protect tho property
against first lien, the government should
see to 1t. If any new set of bonds are is
SUED. that the first mortgage bonds draw
no higher rate OF interes. than govern
, ment bonds would draw. The secretary
says the net earnings OF each one OF these
lines during the past ten years have
made anaverage OF nearly 6 pre- cent on
the sum Of the first mortgage bonds and
OF the government subsidy bonds and
suggests the possibility OF new issue
OF bonds guaranteed by the government
drawing per cent, equal in amount to
the first mortgage bonds and the ubsidy
bonds with the interest on these bonds
ana leave handsome surplus, capital
lists should be found who would buy the
property, subject to the bonds, and pay
fair sum into the treasury each year to-
ward their liquidation. The secretary dis
cusses the scheme of government directors
and also OF the reorganization committee
OF the Union Pacific and finally urges
that the government, being in the atti-
tude OF second mortgage security holder,
it is absolutely necessary in order to pro-
tect its claim, that negotiations be had
between the government the other par
ties in interest, and such capitalists as
are likely to take hold OF the enterprise.
This work cannot successfully be per-
formed by congress and the responsibility
Tor it should be placed at once by con-
gress upon a commi ssion or upon some
duly authorized represen tative OF the gov
eminent. whose duty it should be to take
the subject up in a business way and
work out the best plan for disposing Of
the governments interest with the least

Professor Bell, It Is lntImated, Will Expose
TyndalI Monday Night
Tho challenge of Professor Bell to meet
the renowned mind-reader, Tyndall, on
the pu bile platform and il not to expose
him to at least demonstrate by what
powers the gifted Tyndall performs the
many things which have 80 long mysti-
fed the public is creating no little inter
est. Professor Bell is the champion of a
number of spiitualists Of this city, while
others side with Tyndall. Aside from
this. however, the public has witnessed
many of me feats performed by Tyndall,
particularly his blindfolded drive and
other things, such as finding hidden
property. and the professor has always
remained silent when asked how he did
these things. A great many welI-known
citizens, including scientific men, have
been interested in Professor Tyndalls
work, but none have yet attem pted to
show by what power he does it. 1t is
stated BY some that there is something
in the nature of an expose in the wind
and Professor Bell las at last stated
publicly that he will tell how Tyndall
does his work. and privately it is init
mated that the revelations made will be-
something highly sensational. When the
two professors meet in Music hail next
Monday night something of the nature
OF q circus nay be looked for if one-half
OF the rumors concerning what is to be
done there be true.
