The ticket placed in the field by
the Democracy of Monongalia is
conceded to be exceptionally strong.
No one can say word against the
character or ability of single man
on it. While few politicians
try in feeble way to say something
disparaging of it, they fear it in their
hearts and tremble for fear of its
election.

The most trying time for sick
person is between the hours Of l and
in the morning, Vitality becomes d.
unfinished, and the strength should
therefore be fortified as far as possible
with some strong food. either soup or
egg or milk, about midnight. The
nurse should always make the meals
look as tempting az possible. with
snowy serviettes, sparkling glass aud
always flower or two in dainty vase.
Even a spray OF mignonette will often
work wonders in interesting or pleasing
the patient. These small details are
too often omitted by the nurse ON the
plea of not having time to see to them,
but they ought to be considered as es-
sential to the progress OF the patient
as the punGtual administration OF the
medicine itself. Often they arc more
potent than this last. 1t is very GER
tain, too, that tho nurse who would
fluid such details of her serviee irkso:.e
is no true nurse. and ought not to be
intrusted with the care of sick per-
son. Further, it is mistake to leave
untouched food by PERSONS bedside

everybody bias heard of the gracious
sweetness of "Dolly" Madison, once
tho first lady in tho land" 1t is said
that an awkward country youth, whose
mother she had once known, attended
one of her receptions. Seeing him
standing aloof she approached, making
some pleasant remark. The young man
wasIso startled at being addressed by the
wife of the President, that he put the
cup and saucer, which he hold in his
hand, in his pocket. Without seeming
to notice his embarrassment, Mrs.
Madison said: You have spilled our
coffee. Let me get you another cup"
This she did with her own hands, thus
giving the young man chance tn ex-
tricate the cup and recover his COM
posture. Whor she returned she began
talking with him, in perfectly natural
way, about his mother, and he was soon
chatting with her like an old acguaint-
ance. The American.

Bores.

The great secret of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must be unable to find amusement
in himself, and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind nor on the minds of
his friends, but simply on the gratifica-
ton which it is to him to give a special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives special direction-for he Is a
creature of the most unlimited credul-
ity in the art of magnifying his own in
f1uence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he can imagine
I himself person of influence, and I'M
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person of infuence-for he is q man of
very limited imaginative power--unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own Importance, or even Of the
Importance of his patrons, like Mr.. Col
Inns in Pride and Prejudice" To be a
first rate bore you must have no re.
sources in yourself and no resources in
your friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions on the real or fancied power
of making your friends either think or
do what they would otherwise not think
or do.-LondOn Spectator.

A Just Rebuke,

AT recent church wedding one of the
guests had written several popular hand
books on matters Of etiquette. A young
girl was shown into the pew with her, for
whom the older woman refused to move
up In the seat, or to make any room, while
she glared through her lorgnette at the
newcomer In fashion excessively discon-
ccrting. When the victim returned homo,
she found the pages In certain work
which treated of manners in church. The
very offense committed by the writer was
there rcprobated with unsparing hand.
The girl drew pencil marks around these
passages and wrote upon the opposite
margin, "At the So-and.so wedding, Such
hnd-such a church, And she sent the
book to Its author.-New York Times.

Lincoln In the Five Points.

Not long before Lincoln was first
nominated for the presidency he went to
New York TO make political speech at
the Cooper Union. While there, accord
ing to'a writer in the Philadelphia
Press, he wandered about the city good
deal and once went to the Five Points,
then the most notorious Of New York
slums.
There he was attracted by the sound
of music, and perceiving upon door an
invitation to strangers to enter he went
in and found himself in the Five Points
mission.
His manner betrayed so much interest
in the children, especially in their sing
ing, that the superintendent, though he
did not know him, invited him to speak
Mi. Lincoln accepted the invitation,
and, as the superintendent used to say,
talked to the children just as loving
and wise father might have talked to
his own sons and daughters, without a
trace of pedantry or cant. After the ex.
ercises the superintendent asked the
stranger for his name.
My name is Lincoln" was the an
swer. II live i'll Illinois,
And then the superintendent knew
that the speaker must be the man whose
address at the Cooper Union had been
SO much talked about the last few days.

add ten grains (by weight) Of pure,

ish specks will be seen floating about,
and the more organic matter the more
specks. In week or ten days, if the
water is very bad, the odor of rancid
butter will be noticed on removing the
stopper.
The little specks will settle to the bot
tom, where they will appear as white,
flaky masses. Such water should not be
used for drinking purposes. -Philadel-
