The fact that the big European cit
les have been growing much faster than
those of the United States is pointed
out by DIR. Albert Shaw in his recent
book on municipal government in Eu-
rope. In 1870 New York had $4,000
more people than Berlin; in 1880 Ber-
lin had outstripped New York, and it
still maintains its lead. In 1875 Ham
burg had $4,000 people and Boston 342,-
eco; in 1890 Hamburg had 569,26O and
Boston $4,000. Baltimore was once
as big as Hamburg, but it has long been
distanced. Leipzig has grown from
$4,000 in 1875 to $4,000 in 1890, and has
distanced San Francisco. Breslau used
to be smaller than Cincinnati; it has
now distanced it. Cleveland and Buff
falo and Pittsburgh were all in 1880 big
ger than Cologne, but Cologne was
much the bigger in 1890. Dresden IN

THE SICK BED.
some Essentials to the Comfort of the
Duf-

So"c E<NScnIldIs 10 tne SOnIOEL OK Ln6
Patient.
In arranging the sick bed the two es-
sential things TO be thought of are the
comfort of the patient and. after that,
the convenience of the nurse.
The bedstead should be firm, light and
simple. If it is firm. it cannot be easily
Jared; if it is light, it can be easily
moved; and if it is simple. it can be cas-
lily kept clean. All these requirements
are met in the plain iron bedstead.
which has the additional advantage that
its width and heighth are adapted both
70 the needs of the patient and the con-
venience of the nurse.
If the bedstead is light, it is better TO
have only the head-end provided with
c~astors, otherwise the bed will move
too easily. By lifting the foot end off
the floor the bed can be moved and
guided without causing the patient the
least discomfort.
The mattress should be sufficiently
soft and yielding to be perfectly COM
Portable for the patient, but not SO
yielding as to allow his body to sink into
it. 1t is very difficult to make a sick per-
son comfortable on a saggy mattress.
Feather beds should never be used in
cases of sickness. They are uncomfor-
table for the patient, it is impossible to
keep them clean. almost of necessity
they keep the patients body unneces-
sarily warm and they are extremely in
convenient for the nurse.
To prevent the mattress from becom-
ing soiled. a good-sized piece of water
proof material-preferahly a rubber
blanket-should be smoothly spread
over it before the under sheet is put on,
This sheet should be large enough to be
securely tucked under the edges of the
mattress, and the greatest care should
be taken TO smooth out all the creases.
The pillows should be thoroughly
aired at least nee a day. and whenever
the pillow slip becomes soiled. or damp
with perspfration, Il clean one should be
substituted. Changing and shaking I'D
the pillows when they have become
hard and mussed is a small service, but
very refreshing to the patient.
The covering for the sick bed-other
than the top sheet-should vary ac-
cording to the temperature of the room.
the nature of the sickness. the feelings
of the patient and the season of the year.
Whatever these conditions, the covering
should be as light as is consistent with
the comfort of the patient.-Youth's
Companion.

because of the destruction of 4 load of

railroad track on n of the country
roads with a great load of eggs and
butter. Just as he came out upon the
track a train approached. The engine
man blew his horn Justify, but the farm
er did not hear it. Eighty dozen of
eggs and 50 pounds of butter were
smashedinto an indistinguishable mass.

went to Alton Grange, where George
Stephenson lived, to see if he could not
invent something that would give a
warning more likely to be heard. Ste
phenson went to work, and the next day
had a continuance which, when attached
TO the engine boiler and the steam
turned on, gave out a shrill, discordant
sound. The railroad directors. greatly
delighted, ordered similar c~ontrivances
attached to all the locomotives. This
has developed into the locomotive
whistle as we now know it.7Chicago

SPRING.

AT last, o joy, sweet spring is here,
Though keen and cold is still the wind
And all the earth lies bleak and drear,
And icy bo1ds the streams still bind.
The scent of buds and coming flowers
Is in the air, and fills my heart,
And soon the woods and leafy bowers
Will in new life and beauty start.
From yonder hedge, first Of his clan,
A bird begins his song to sing,
AS though he would do all he can
To welcome back the sweet new spring
That spring is here scarce need be told,
And soon the trees Will all be green, .
And nature, robed in green and gold,
Stand out in all her glorious sheen.
For from the sere leaves at my feet
a modest violet lifts its head,
And with a fragrance passing sweet
1t warns me heed well where I tread.
And here, too, at my feet, I see
A daffodil with golden bell,
As though about to ring with, glee
The gladstone news it comes to tell.
And earth, so long in slumher deep,
Stirs dreamily, as If to wake
From its protracted, frozen sleep,
And from its icy bondage break.
And soon the newly Weakened power
Will in each bush ard tree be stirred,
And throb in every charming flower.
And in he's song note of each bird.
So lessons sweet n full of grace
Life's darkest hours will surely bring:
Some flower of hope will show its face,
Some bird of promise sweetly sing.

THE CARS c
Caused by Precautions Taken for His
Personal Safety.


While Nicholas ii. was travelling re-
Gently from st. Petersburg to one of the
imperial residences called Cars viii
lare he observed in his salon carriage
an electric button which he had never
before noticed. What is it for" he
asked his aid-de-camp.
"If your majesty will be pleased to
press the button the train will come to
an instantaneous standstill. 1t is dan
ger signal"
81 should like TO see it work." said
Nicholas, musingly, and following his
inclination placed his index finger hard
upon the knob. The train stopped and
a dozen officials rushed into the car
rage with pale faces and trembling
hand and foot. 4 danger signal from
an imperial carriage salon excites no
end of ugly "reminiscences in Russia
or any other country, for that matter.
The car left his carriage and walked
out into the morning air.
Lets proceed along the track for
half an hour or So" said his majesty to
the aid-de-camp. THE train can wait"
Arm in arm they marched, while b
much-craved-for feeling of safety took
hold of Nicholas head and heart. Sud-
denly turning on his heel the emperor
proceeded sideways toward the field.
There was at a distance of a few hun
bred feet a peasants hut which he de-
sired to inspect. Walking briskly
toward the hovel, Nicholas overheard a
shout of "Halt!" uttered by somebody
lying in ambush. Haiti or 1 will

Nicholas stood still as if suddenly
stricken with palsy, while the aid placed
himself in front of his trembling mas
ter.
"It is only the guard drawn up along
the railway tracks al far as the inn
perial train travels" he said by way Of
explanation. knowing your majesty's
aversion to military display, the troops
were ordered to lie down on the ground
when the imperial train hove IN sight"
The ear easily regained his COM

IN NEW YORK SOCIETY.
Ore Hears the Cost of Everything
Constantly Discussed.


There is one pronounced burgeoise
trait that strikes me very disagreeably
in American society,"" remarked a for
eigner of distinction. land that is the
constant alluSion that is made to the
cost of everything. 1t never seems Suf-
fcient to praise an entertainment, q
dress, a picture, Il jewel for itSelf-its
moneys worth is sure to be mentioned
and it is hat alone which seems to give
it value in the eyes of this eminently
commercial nation. Perhaps we, on the
other side of the Atlantic. are quite as
mercennry in reality. but it is not con-
sidered good form to show it so openly.
I'm other respects l find American
smart .ociety quite cosmopolitan, diff
fering very little from the correspond
ing sets in London and Paris; but this
everlasting talk of what everything is
worth, from q beautiful woman down to
some article of attire, is most weari-
some,
Il went to Il large function called a
'dinner-dance' the other evening and it
would have been delightful if it had not
been for the constant talk about money.
Ny host told me the cost of his chef and
his wines. and all but the very food /
was eating. My hostess enlightened me
as to the probable cost of many of the
gowns worn by the wOmen who were
present and the estimated value of the
different jewels. Even the daughters
compared the prices of their pretty
fresh toilets with those of their friends.
1T is very curious hat Americans do
not seem conscious of this popularity,
so very apparent to outsiders. 1t is IS
sentiallv bad FORM"
This habit of discussing prices is
much nrrre noticeable in New York than
anywhere else and has been frequently
remarked upon by visitor: from other
cities. 1t seems odd that a society so
charming in other respects and so up-tO-
date should commit the solecism Of
bringing an atmosphere of trade into
the drawing-room.-N. Y. Tribune.

DEBT OF THE WORLD.
The Obligations of Many Nations In
crPnSP Steadily.

Inv
creaSe
Whether it be a good or a bad thing
for the nations, there is no room
to doubt that the debts of the
world are growing steadily. In
1875 it was computed hat they
stood at e4.75O,OOO, 900. as compared
with a round e4.2OO. 100000 two years
earlier. On the basis of figures, many
of which have been obtained by us at
first hand, and are likely on that &C.
| count to be more accurate than some of
| the wild guesses to which certain ire
sponsible statisticians have treated US,
we ourselves estimate that the indebted
ness of the world to-day stands at
$500, 900, ZOO.
As probably every one knows France
mas the doubtful distinction of being
the country which has the largest
debt. The latest figures put the total
at something like 1000, DOC, 900, which
is nearly double the debt Gee, 000, 900
of Great Britain, which ranks as Sec
ond on the list. Russia follows, with a
total of ISIS, 900, 900, and insignificant
Italy comes fourth with SOC, O00, 900
that is, if we count as separate items
the joint debts of Austria-Hungery and
the individual debts of the two portions
of the nation. The joint debt stood in
1895 at e275, 900, 900; while the debt Of
Austria alone was e122, 6 600, and
that of Hungary alone e2O7, 729, ZOO, or
