The mess dinner, no longer n gorge

gracefully served meal at the conclusion
of which the wine is passed round once or
twice, and then five out of six of the diners
betake themselves to the smoking. Neither

of practical joking the wit Of which con-

quarrels which many q time cost those

A bumptious young officer is snubbed
and wheeled into line until he has been
reduced to a due di1fidence Of self, and this
remedy has been found far preferable either
to deluging an offenders bedclothos with
Stops or to thrusting his dress uniform up
the chimney. By the bye, the word "uni-
form" reminds us of q transformation as
complete as that in q pantomime. In lieu
OF head dresses as topheavy as n milkpail,
of packs as killing as those under which
we may still see French conscripts stagoer-

buckles to a tension approximating to
splitting, we have adopted n light kit and
loose clothing specially favorable to work.

suggestions That Amateur Nurses Could
Follow to the InvaIid's Comfort.

The light in Il sickroom should be tenn

The patients eyes. Dark green roller
shades, which can DO raised and lowered
easily, are the best window curtains. A
tall screen should be placed at tho foot Of
the bed so as to shut out the light and
also the breeze
If it is possible to have the floor of the
sickroom uncarpeted much trouble in
disinfecting may be spared. The floor
should, however, be provided with q few
thick rugs or mats, in order that tho feet
Of the nurse may not be made very cold
If the disease is Of an infectious nature,
the mats may be made Of old pieces Of car

these Will not cause the thrifty housewife
so much grief as that Of more expensive
rugs.
No nurse who has the slightest regard
for the patients comfort or well being will
permit an unsightly array of medicine bot
lies, glasses and spoons to be on constant
exhibition before him. 1t is an excellen,
plan to have d small medicine closet fas

A statistician HIS observed, says the

such universal assent We believe that
were it put to the largest possible public

How deeply, indeed, this truth has impress

In some few cases perhaps their interest

Then the conductor entered. This was
the signal for a simultaneous movement
Of five hands for five handbags. Five
tightening strings were loosoned, five
hands disappeared into uncertain depths
and then five pocketbooks came to sight.
Five bags were closed and five silver pocket
book clasps snapped. Five nickels did not
appear. Tho first lady rendered five pen

Finally No. 4 had to give it up. Three

Something startled them. The horses,
used to the road as they were, sure
footed and as rule trustworthy in
their own wild way, suddenly broke
loose and took matters into their own
keeping. Disdaining bit and bride
they tore down the steep incline, the
shouts of the terrified driver madden
ing them still more, and the hand Of
Gerald Frobisher on the rein of no
avail. They had taken the bit be-
tween their teeth, and their teeth
were strong. The danger was i'm
minent. They were close to the worst
bit of the road, where the most careful
driver, doing all he knew, could never
be quite sure Of safe steering. Now as
things were destruction seemed In
evitable.
The princess shrieked and flung her
arms abroad, calling on the saints and
adding to the horror of the moment by
her ungovernable terror. The young
baron was in q state Of collapse. Al.

his eyes closed, his form dropping, he
lay as if half dead. Ida sat perfectly
still, her eyes wide open as if she were
watching how things would go; and

ha$ failure Of the clover, but it muy
bc helpful to consider Just what his
plant does for the soil. Much has been
maIc OF the power OF clover to add nj
trogrn from the air to the soil. and
this is an important item; but there
is not bit Of doubt that this peculiar
power Of leguminOus plants has been
lwrlt npon too much to the exclusion
OF other effects they have upon the
soil, aud its importance has been eX-
aggeratcd. Careful experiments have
shown that clover does not take it's
nitrogen from the mir when the sup.
ply in the soil Is sufficient for It's
needs, aud yet We know that rank
growth Of clover on gool land makes
it much more productive. This fact,
in connection with the experience OF
those who have used nou-iuguminous
plants for green manuring, indicates
that it is not tho nitrogen. gathering
