The Land Of the Midnight Sun"
was a subject assigned TO Judge Ber-
ry at 4 feast shortly before his last
sickness. says the Boston Herald.
The Land OF the Midnight Sum"
he exclaimed. "Ah. gentlemen. | find
that a most inspiring subject In
the land OF the midnight, sun. I've
read. the days are six months long.
and so are the nights. Just think
what blessing that would be TO some
OF US. Why. II one OF my creditors
came to me and said: Berry. want
you to pay up that $40 you owe me.
II wouldn't bother me In the least.
My dear fellow would reply. come
around day after tomorrow and III
pay YOU" and then ! wouldn't hear
any more OF him for twelve months"

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
De Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes q sick
room there is an added reason why OK.
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room In 4 thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things. the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry. always warm and comfortable In
winter. cool and airy In summer. and
bright and sunny some parts OF the
day.
II there 10 any suspicion OF damp.
ness in bedroom It Is probably due.
II there II wallpaper on the wall. to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as 4 blottins pa.
per and holds quantities Of water In 1t.
The use Of wallpaper on walls Is to
be deplored: It means disease. Ill
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
Quently the cause Of lung trouble. not
only because Of Its dampness but also
because Of its power to retain infec.
ton OF many kinds.
The desired method OF treating .
bedroom wall Is to tint It for the ala.
bastined wall is 4 perfect wall. 1t
never fakes OF. chips or peels. 1t ab-
serbs moisture and expels 1t. 1t opens
the pores of the plaster and makes .
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light. cleanable. dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and q floor that
Is thoroughly oiled or vanished. that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
In the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork In the bed
room should be attended to carefully.
window stills should be thoroughly var.
nished or waxed. and the window cas-.
ings kept In perfect order. The doors
should be wiped OF frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

Of An American man-oi.war Whs1
the Young Rover got near the Sabine
she ran up the confederate nag. and
the Sabine Immediately gave chase.
Then the Young Rover ran up the sig.
nal Of distress. Late In the afternoon
the Sabine came to US and anchored
short distance ahead Of US. Capt.
RinsEold assured US he would take US
all aboard OF the Sabine. Several
hawsers were past to us, but all part.
ed BY the plunging Of the waves. All
the battalion will remember that
night until their dying day. The wa.
ter was gaining on US very fast. tho
hog.braces liable to 90 over at any
time. and the wind blowing q perfect
gale. Our port-bow was close TO tho
Sabins's stArboard quarter. and .
number Of our men managed to get
on the Sabine At the time heavy sea
caused the Sabine to strike the Gov
ernor. The sea carried away part Of
the Governors hurricane deck and
pilothouse. That was the time most
of our men were drowned. At that
time was holding one Of the ropes
to keep the hos-brace from falling In
the water with one hand, and with
the other took OF my coat and shoes.
l was q good swimmer. and wanted
to be ready. After the Sabine struck
the Governor l went to her port-bow
and saw the Sabine's Jacob ladder
hanging at her stern. 1t put new life
In me, 1t was good jump. but
was \ boy and good jumper. but
watched my chance. and when the
Sab!ne's stern raised on the wsvo
jumped and caught the ladder. When
! got to the top of the ladder one OF
our men was on one side and a sailor
Of the Sabine on the other. and they
pulled me on board and took me be-
low and gave me good drink OF
whisky and cup OF hot coffee. At
daylight the Sabine's boats got as
close to the Governor as they could
the men would jump into the water,
and the boats crews pick them up
and put them on board the Sabine. AT
eight o'clock on the morning OF No
vember 3 the Governors boiler and
machinery went 10 the bottom. and
| her timber was scattered on the sea
We were q hard looking lot of men
when we mustered on the Sabine's
gundeck. Most Of us were not hall
clothed. but not man among us
would not risk his life to save a ship
mate. Seven of our men were
drowned. We were on board the Sa
bine until November s, and givca al
the comforts that the ship afforded
and all the clothing that could pos
sibly be spared On the afternoon o.
the sth the sloopof-war Mohcgar
came alongside the Sabine and tool
