An Invalid's Bed.


The thoroughness Of a nurses train
ing Is often shown in the manner in
which she makes an invalid's bed. 1t
is a difficult problem how to make a
bed with a sick person on ii, withol
causing inconvenience or suffering,
This Is the proper methed:
If the invalid's apparel is to be
changed attend 10 that first, then allow
a little time for rest. Then placing the
patient on one side Of the bed, with a
light covering over her, proceed to
make the other side, moving away the
soiled lower sheet. putting on clean
sheet folded in the middle of the bed
lengthwise, and place clean pillow
ready for the head. Now move the
patient over to the fresh side aud make
the other, drawing out the folded part
of the sheet.
Then take the clean upper sheet and
spread over the covering already on the
bed, to keep the patient covered while
the other upper coverings are removed.
II the patient is too i'll TO hold the
upper part Of the sheet, pin each upper
corner TO the bed, and from the foot
draw out the lOosened soiled sheet, or
whatever is to be removed, and put on
the other coverings.

Calling a Man a Liar.

The Texas Legislature is considering
a bill which IS of interest to liars there
and everywhere else
If this becomes a law, proof that a
man has been called liar will become
a full defense in assault and battery.
That is to say, the man with the bat
tered nose, blackened eye, aud hiatused
front teeth will learn in a court of JUS
tice that it SERVED him right
The laws governing liars in other
States vary. In Kentucky it is mis-
demeanor punishable by so fine to
call any man liar, and police justice
Of Louisville has declared from his
bench that lie in Kentucky means a
blow. This memorable declaration was
given in diseharging hoDorably man
who had knocked down another fellow
for calling him a liar. and had been
brought to court to answer.
In Virginia, by the law of 1895 1896,
man who calls another man a liar is
guilty OF a misdemeanOr, and on con-
vietion may be fined not more than s35.
In Georgia 1t is slander, punishable
by 81, 600 Sne or a year in the peniten-
tiary, or both, to call man liar un-
less you can prove that he is one, in
which else yol get clear. The Georgia
courts hold that lie constitutes the
first blow and justifies viOlent res
ponse.
Iu Arkansas passing the lie Is mis-
demeanor punishable by fine.
In Mississippi insulting words are
eivilly actionabIe. In South Carolina
and West Nirginia the same.

A Managing Woman.

A managing woman is quite a term
of reproacb; but it ought not to be so,
for every wife and mother should try to
be this. The fact is that women feel
this pretty generally, but good many
have not the tact and wisdom they need
to help them in their work. Manage
ment, when recognized, is always re-
sented, both by children and grown-u2
people, as an indignity; but a tactfuI
woman never lets it be seen, and peace
and happiness smile under her reign.
She studies the dispositions of her hus-
band, children and dependents, and
wins rather than drives. She is gentle
and courteous, and requests aud sug-
gests more than she commands. The
great secret of successful management
at home is to keep your own temper,
and to take care not to upset any one
else's. In the control Of her servants,
the good mistress gives praise where it
is deserved, and gives credit for good
intentions even where the performance
has not been wholly satisfactory. If
sometimes it is necessary to administer
a reprOof, she chooses a time when she
can do so pleasantly.

Let the Chance Go By.

Several yesrs before the discovery OF
oil at Pithole, says Harper's Bazar, an
Irishman named McCarty and his son
Dan came to this country from the Em-
erald Isle. Dan was a young man Of
twenty, but his father looked upon him
as a mere boy, and seemed to take de-
light in ridieuling him before people.
"Yis, Dan is a good by" he would
say, sareastieally, "but, Danny, me by,
yez'll niver set the river on fire"
This was his stock witticism, and it
annoyed Dan very much, but be did
his best, and soon surprised the old
gentleman by securing lucrative job
''Yis, Danny has job all right, he
said; ''it's dollar an half day, but
the b'y'll never set the river on fire.
Not he"
When oil was found at PithOle, Dan
hurried to the scene, and was soon earn
ing unusually large wages as team
ster. All the petroleum was drawn in
barrels, and teams were in great de-
mand. He saved his money, bought
an acre Of land, and soon had well
drilled that was producing 100 barrels
Of oil per day at $40 per barrel. The
elder MeCarty joined hin, saw the
well, received liberal gift Of money,
and then shook his head ominously.
"'Tis good thing, Danny he croak-
ed; ''ye're doin' well; but mark me
wOrruds, YEN niver set the river on
fire, me b'y.p
a few days later a flood wrecked one
of Dams wooden tanks, the oil ran
down into the river, and there was
great excitement AS Dan and his IA
ther stood on the bank watching the
oil float away, Dan drew match and
lighted il.
Father he said, eoolIy, "the next
tonne yez say oi'll niver set the river on
fire, Plsze reminder that Oi had
chance wunst, and-and didn't do ut,

Then he blew out the match.

A Crow Congress.

But the crows, what Of thems Luck
ily, gained an advantageous point of
view, after deal Of painful crawling
through The weeds; and briers' thorns
are sharper III January than at other
times. or human iiesh more sensitive.
Adjusting the iield-glsrss, 1 saw-not
aneied i saw-that ono crow, from a
commanding position, was haraDguing
the assembled multitude.
What I heard was one crows voice
that varied or rung the changes on the
basic syllable kaw about as follows;
Ka-ee, ka kaw. kaw ka; aud then
there was babel of kaw-k ka-a-a, that
clearly expressed assent, an apparent
''that's so" that was ludicrously like
the chatter of eOngregated humanity
when an orator stOops to their eompre-
hension. After a momentary pause.
the orator, as we viii call the speaking
crow, resumed his speech, and the va
riations Of kaW ka were repeated. but
with many sounds like e-e, and trill,
as ar-r-r-r.
The latter were always, I thought,
uttered in more rapid manner than
what have called the basic syllable
kaw, and certainly were accompanied
with more gestures. Accurate descrip-
ton is impossible, words and actions
were 80 rapid, bat my impression would
doubtless not have varied had the crow
been more deliberate.
The most striking feature Of it all,
however, was the dissent Of the gather
ing on two occasions, which was as
plainly marked as the previous assent
had been. The utteranee was wholly
different, and the accompanying ges-
lures likewise varied. The twisting
and turning of the head and neck was
most prOnouneed-a turning away, as
il were, from the suggestion; and there
was also a decided wing movement that
| did not notice before, corresponding
in some measure to the hand and arm
movement among ourselves when ez-
cited to the point Of being demOnstra-
tive.-C {. Abbott.

A Piece of Lath.

A story is told of a former Mayor of
Birmingham, England, that he gave
orders to have his robes Of office lined
with ''vermin.n When the late Alder
man Surge was Mayor he received a
royal command to dine and sleep at
Windsor. This, of course, meant court
dress and sword. The court dress was
reluctantly submitted to, but as a men,

moreover, one who had greatly distin-
guished himself in the cause of peace,
for he had formed one Of the peace dep
utatiOn TO the Car before the outbreak
Of the Crimean war, Mr. Surge would
not consent 10 wear a lethal weapon
A compromise was happily effected. A
scabbard and hilt of the usual kind
were at his wcrship's side when the
presentation to royalty took place, but
the sword was a mere lath of wood.
Fortunately, the worthy Quaker was
not called upon to draw in defense Of
his sovereign.

Kept dis Cigar Aiight.

Speaker Reed not only enfoTces pune
tiliously the rules that he prescribes for
the Hobbies and corridors Of the House,
but he obeys them himself. This holds
true Of smoking. Nevertheless, he loves
a good cigar, and when, right in the
midst of smoke, he has business at the
other end of the capitol, it IS not easy
for even a strong-minded man to let his
cigar go out.
Such was the case with the Speaker
recently. He was comfortably enseonc-
ed in big chair at the rear of the hall
of Representatives, and the blue smoke
was rising heavenward. 1t occurred
to him that he had an errand at the
Senate, says the Washington Post. Out
through the swinging doors at the
north side be shambled at full speed.
Carefully covered by his right hand
was the half consumed weed II was
a long-lived cigar that could survive
the journey 10 the far end Of the ex-
lcuuCU CDIllQoi. w aACniul piltclo nCAC
stationed all along the way. None Of
them would dare to stop the Speaker if
he putied the smoke in their presence,
but the Speaker isn't that kind Of a
man. With an anxious look OCCASION
ally at the precious cigar, he seudded
on beyond the domain where his own
authority is recognized. past the Su-
preme Court, aud into the sacred pre-
cinets of the august Senate.
AS the Speaker swung around toward
the rear lobby of the Senate, he took a
swift pull at the surreptigious cigar. and
still another pull, quite unmindful Of
Senate rules. Then he darted inside,
emerged again moment later, glanced
at the weed as he hastened to cover the
homestreteh to the House, and in a
short time was back in his easy chair
to conclude his smoke.
