"HOme NurSing." :"

This is the title of an interesting
and valuable little book of practical
information on the care of the sick
by a trained nurse. Published by
the Davis & Lawrence Company,
64 Grand St., New York City, a copy
of which they have sent us.
The object of the book is to give
practical instructions how to take
care of the sick by the inexperienced.
In training schools for nurses instruc-
tions are of course given in all mat
ters of this kind, but let any woman
ask herself, could 1 give bath to a
person in bed without wetting the
clothing, or change the undersheet
while the bed was occupied?" and she
will smile at the seeming impossi-
bility; vet when she is shown, she
will wonder why she did not discover
the right way herself.
In this little book practical in
structions are given for the perform.
ances of all necessary offices pertain
ing to the sick. The knowledge o.
any of them is not taken for granted
and the writer has tried to do it ir
such plain, simple manner that nc
one need mistake the easiest way.
A sample copy of this valuable
book, now in its third million, can b'
had upon application to the publish
crs as above. enclosing to them &c
in stamps or coin to pay the expense
of mailing and stating the name o

QUESTIONABLE HONOR.
Pittsboro Record.

Pittsboro Record.
Some of Senator Pritchard's admi-
rers have been praising him for Sc
curing the passage of bill through
Congress which will give pensions TO
soldiers who deserted from the Con-
federate army and then tonight in the
Union army.
We fail to see the credit he can
claim. or how praise can be awarded
him, for placing premium on per-
fidy and rewardiDg soldier for de-
ssrting and fighting his own kith and
kin!
1t is bad enough for a soldier to
desert his colors and comrades. 1t
is still worse for him to enlist with
the foe and fight his former comrades.
But the worst of all is to boast Of re-
warding him for such despica BILE per.
fidy and betrayal.
No brave and honest man would ol
should sanction such conduct.

TALK OF RAILROAD.

The talk about a railroad from
lone to jackson is still heard on all
sides, but so far the movements in
this direction have been confined to
talk. 1t is the general conviction,
however, that the work will be
undertaken in earnest. 1t is rumor-
ed that negotiations for the right of
way through the Arroyo Grant lands
are under way. The company own
ing these lands, although closely al
lied with the railroad owners, is an
independent company, known as the
lone Iron and Coal Company. Re-
ports are current that work will be
pushed, so that the line will be COM
pleted by next fall. The rapidly
growing trade of the mining region
around Jackson is no doubt the prin-
cipal basis for this railroad move
ment. With the additional hosting
and milling capacity to be erected
at the Kennedy, and other mining
ventures in contemplation, the traffic
of this section will be greatly aug
mented, and the conclusion is ire
sistable that railroad communica-
tion cannot be much longer deferred.
If the Southern Pacific does not take
action to secure the field, some other
company will 1t is limited that one
of the motives kept in the back
ground in this connection is the con-
troll of the practical pass over the
in the vicinity of Silver
lake. This pass is held by civil
to be better for railroad
purposes than the one taken by the
Central Pacific, being of lower atti-
tude, and with less snowfall TO con-
tend with. This available pass
ought to be prize of great import
ance in the estimation of railroad
men.

FADs IN THE SCHOOLS.

The San Francisco Chronicle thus
comments on the course of study now
in use in the schools of that city.
Its criticism is contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The objection to the course of
study is that it contemplates an
amount of work which it is impossi-
BILE for teachers to do in the time al
lotted, and equally impossible for
pupils. More than that, the quality
of the work laid out is to great ex-
tent of such a nature that it could
be given to pupils only by teachers
who have unusual powers of inspira-
ton and are ready to break down
their nervous systems by the con-
stant exercise of those powers. 1t
would be impossible for any pupil to
do the work as laid out. 1t is not
impossible for most of it to be cram
med into some of the pupils by very
able and ingenious teachers working
under constant pressure. 1t cannot
be properly accomplished by any
teacher without peril to health.
There are probably not more tina
third of the pupils capable of get
ting through it in eight years in any
intelligent way.
This difficulty prevails all through
the school system of California. The
hobbies of thousand teachers have
been elaborated and worked into the
courses of study until they have be-
come as diverse as modern industry,
as complicated as type-setting
machine, and as crowded with de-
tails and fads as the constitution of
California. If a good stiff earth
quake would shake the fads out of
the school courses it would con-
tribute to the longevity of teachers,
improve the usefulness of graduates
of the public schools, give better sat
isfaction to school patrons, and
materially lessen the rate of taxa
tion for school purposes. Stockton

NOTICE.

When you are about to buy a suit
of clothes, it would be absurd to 90
to a carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you. To reasonable people it will
appear that to buy a suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from a
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this ! guarantee.
Remember mine is the only place in
Jackson where you can have this
done free of charge.

OILING ROADS.
From Davisville Enterprise.

Tuesday morning l.. B. DeCamp
appeared before the board of super
visors and explained his machine
and methods of applying oil to pub
lie roads. He has already expert
mented with II miles of road be-
tween Stockton and Lodi, and about
3 miles of Napa road.
Mr.. DeCamp says the present
price of oil is 25 cents barrel. He
will pay all the expenses and apply
the oil for $1.25 a barrel. He esti-
mates that on soil like that in the
vicinity of Woodland 150 barrels of
oil will be sufficient every year to
sprinkle a graded and graveled road
II feet wide for one mile.
His method of application is to at
tach his machine to the rear end of
an oil tank wagon (the slip tongue
being removed). The oil which
previously has been heated to 200
degrees is conducted through rub
Der hose from the tank wagon to the
machine reservoir and from there it
is discharged through 14-inch pipes
into the burrows made by the fur
rowing fingers of the machine and
is Immediately covered by the cover
ing fingers. By this operation the
oil is prevented from flowing to a
low level which would result in an
uneven distribution.
He claims that his method OF
treatment does away with the ne
cessity for sprinkling with water,
prevents washing away during rain,
protects the road from wear and
tear, prevents the formation of ruts
and chuckholes. and provides an
elastic covering for the roadbed
which is easy on the horses feet.
Amador ledger., 1902-03-21

BY means of a new contrivance
offers are being made to sprinkle the
roads of Yolo county with oil at
S1.25 per barrel, the oil to be
thoroughly heated before being
placed on the road. 1t does seem
that the interests of Amador county
demand that small piece of road
way, say two or three miles, where
the conditions of soil and grade are
favorable, should be fairly treated
with this process under the con tract
system.
