The revenjreful look of his superior, how ever, changed his mind. He pulled Miller's datrceroutofthepost and raised it before Falkin's eves with the words: '.'Die I then you will betray no one I" At the same moment, however, a strong Band seized him from behind. An officer of Cossacks held him. A troop of soldiers rushed in now and occupied the hut. "Do not let that traitor escape you," cried Palkin, gathering all his remaining strength. "Arrest that woman alsol" Overcome with pain and fury, the Colonel sank down fainting. "When he recovered his senses he had been relieved of his bonds. The Captain and Helen, on the other band, lay bound on the floor. Palkin looked around with eves full of bloodthirsty revenge. CHAPTER XXV. "" Jana had in the meantime returned to Irkutsk under the protection of Dr. Haas. She constantly reproached herself for not having remained in the hut, leaving Helen behind, and not interceding energetically enough in behalf of Palkin. She even told Haas that she thought he ought to have per mitted her to await the end of those feariul scenes. He told her, however, that his first duty was to watch over her safety and to preserve her for her husband's sake. She finally offered him her hand and said most kindly to him: Ton are always right, my dear doctor." How, only Dr. Haas could tell her how he had reached the hut at the critical mo ment. Ienar-kus had at once carried him to Miller, and he had not hesitated a mo ment when he heard that Vladimir's safety was endangered. The Countess, as well as Haas, agreed that the whole had been a trap to catch the Count, Miller called such exiles together as were within immediate reach, regretting deeply that he could not arm them yet. Then Haas had handed him the money of the Countess, and Miller had instantly handed it to Ienar-kus, with the words: "This time we have no weapons, but this money will secure us the future, for from to-day I shall lav aside my mask." "When they had ail started, eight, as we have seen, reached the hut in time. Jana became deeply anziouB about Helen, whose non-appearance troubled her sorely. Dr. Haas also acknowledged that her pro longed absence made him fear some acci dent. Just then Lina entered and an nounced that an aid of the Governor's had come to escort Jana to the palace. "What can this mean?" exclaimed Jana. "Can they have heard it already?" Haas tried to calm her. "That is simply impossible. And even if they should apprehend trouble at the palace, they cannot interfere with you. Countess, as you are not an exile. But be very cautious, and weigh every word you say." "When Jana entered the Governor's palace she had already prepared her plan of de fence, thinking that the Governor might have heard of her nightly expeditions. She expected, on that account, to be received with frowning looks and scant courtesy. How great was, therefore, her surprise t hen the Governor received her in the most friendly manner, offering her a chair, and earing: "You will be kind enough to pardon me, Countess, that I toot the liberty of troubling you to come here instead of going to your house, but time is pressing, and what I have to say brooks of no delay." The ceremony with which these friendly words were uttered removed Janaslears. She bowed in silence. The Governor continued: "It is absolutely necessary that you should leave Irkutsk instantly." "Impossible!" The Governor made a gesture with the hand as it requesting her not to interrupt him. "I wish to be of service to you, and my words are dictated by my kind wishes for you. Listen, if you please, and be kind enough to look upon me as jour best lriend. Last night two couriers arrived. One bfought me confidential news trom the head -ot the gendarmes, who is my personal friend. The other came from Omsk. Connt Orloff, in St. Petersburg, informs me that there is a periect deluge of denunciations against me coming to his office. Prom all sides the Emperor is informed that I secretly enter tain communications with the exiles; that I psotect them, pardon them, etc. Your name appears most prominently. The Count ad vises me, therefore and such advice is an order to separate yon, for the time being, fromyourhusband.byassigningtohimamore remote place of residence. At the same time he informs me that very shortly a most influential, great personage will "ap pear here, furnished with almost unlimited powers, and inspect my administration. The letter from Omsk adds to this that this great inspector has reached that city, and would be nearer even, if an indisposition had not detained him. This revisor that is the name by which we designate such high personages informs me very drily ana coolly nimseit, 01 flis arrival, and thus clearly foreshadows the spirit in which he comes. He also speaks of you, and specially orders me not to lose sight of your husband till his arrival." "But, General," replied Jana, trembling, "I swear my husband is innocent 1" "I begin myself to believe in his inno cence," said the Governor with almost pater sal kindness, "for this bitter persecution makes me donbt the crime for which the Count was condemned." "Oh, General 1" "Very well, Countess but just now I can do nothing for you. As soon as the revisor arrives and that may be to-day or to-morrow my power here ceases. Believe me, leave Irkutsk. Of course this is not an order. I give only friendly advice. You ought to start to-day." "And leave my husband. That I cannot do." The Governor sadly shook his head. "And yet you cannot remain with him here. Day before yesterday the Count was caught, being absent from his assigned place of residence He was at once arrested, and will have to ecdu-e the three months' imprisonment which follow such a crime. During this time you will not be able to see him. And besides, I shall not be able to serve you in any way. I have told you dis tinctly that they are bent upon separating you and him." "I shall at least be near him in this town 1" "What are vou thinking of, Countess? They mar send him 500 miles further on, and prohibit yon even to write to him. Countess, listen to mel The arrival or this revisor is a grievous insult to me and I shall eoon go to Petersburg to justify myself be fore the Smperor. I give you my word that I shall do then for your husband all that my best efforts may enable me to do." She bowed, full of gratitude. "We shall be very, very grateful to Your Excellency." " "But you must facilitate my task, and not put impediments in my way. When you came here, Countess, you had an unlimited passport, which allowed you to go where you chose. As usual, you gave me this pass port, and I return it now to you, after having taken the liberty of adding: 'With permission ta return to St. Petersburg.' " Jana repeated with great 'decision: "I do sot think of leaving Irkutsk." The Governor tried to master the emotion which he could not quite control, and con tinned more sternly: "That is simply womanly obstinacy. I sow declare to you that my successor may consider you also an exile, and may send you to work in the mines, hundreds of miles from the place to which be may order your husband, and I shall be powerless. "For God's sake, be prudent! You only ruin your husband and yourself! In Petersburg vou might in the meantime use your in fluence." "No, Your Excellency," said Jana, offer ing him her band. "I thank you most heart ily for all the kindness you have shown me, and I shall ever be grateful to you! I have learned to know you as a noble, high-toned man, and, therefore, fully appreciate the ad vice you so kindly give. But the nobler yon. are the better you will understand me; I am not a heroine, and jet I asn capable of remaining where my sense of duty bids me stay." The Governor seemed to be hardly able to repress atear. Alter a pause, he continued: "I assure you most solemnly that my suc cessor will not overlook anything. Believe me, I try to enable you to take measures which may bear fruit in the far future." "At least, permit me to reflect," begged Jana. "Keflectl I repeat again, I give you no oraer. out trienoiy aavice. .tor your hus band's sake, as well as for your own sake, Countess, I should be glad if you would re turn at once to Petersburg. If you should refuse I fear you will be lorced." Bowing low, he whispered into her ear: "If it should be necessary, I mean to save yon contrary to your own wishes." After having courteously seen her to the door, he said with a deep bow: "I truly hope we shall not meet again in Irkutsk." When Jana told Dr. Haas all the Gov ernor had said to her, he at once took the General's side, and made every effort to con vince the Countess that she must, if she valued her lreedom and her husband's life even, yield to his demands. He concluded from what tbe Governor had said that the events of last night were known to him, and that they not only endangered the Countess, but might seriously affect her husband's position. The revisor's arrival only in creased the danger. The doctor might, in the meantime, stay on tbe spot and keep an eye on the Count. All these arguments, however, made no impression upon .the Countess, who insisted upon remaining. Jana at last said impatiently: "I feel I cannot help him;1 but he will at least know that I am watching near by." "Even that he cannot know, because he is not allowed to communicate with any one." "Then it will be enough that I know it," replied Jana, proudly. Soon however, she hung her head and be gan to shed tears. "If they make gendarmes take me and carrv me to Petersburg, who will then stay here"? Who will watch over him?" ' With these words she reached her house. Iiina was waiting for her nt the door. "Your excellency, there is a man in the anion, an unknown man, who insists upon seeing you. I do not know why, but it seems to me I have seen that man some where. Perhaps he'll bring us sews about my son." Jana had not yet been able to tell the poor woman of her son's sad end. She could now not postpone it any longer. At once, my dean Afterwards come to me, I must speak to you." "Has your Excellency heard anything?" Jana left her without an answer, only say ing: "Una, pray!" At these words the poor old woman sank down fainting. Dr. Haas at once hastening to her assistance. As soon as Jana entered the stranger who had been waiting for her, threw back his hood and revealed his features. "I come to pay my debtl" he exclaimed. "Mr. Miller! How reckless you are!" There, nobody will recognize me. Besides I have friends watching over me. Whether reckless or not, my coaming here was neces sary. I have caused your misfortunes in return I bring you the certainty of Vladi mir's speedy liberation. Only you must at once start for Petersburg." The fact!that Miller and the Governorboth gave her the same advice made some impres sion upon o ana. "You also advise me the same?" she ex claimed, almost unconsciously. "I do not know who has suggested to you to leave Siberia, but he was right. You will fiom henceforth have to go to work in Petersburg. Your longer residence here in Irkutsk has no purpose to serve any longer, and is even dangerous." Miller thereupon told Jana all the events of the past night and showed her how, from this moment, she would be looked nnon being in open rebellion against the govern- J mcui. xi jraiKin was still alive, be tolj her, he would at once prosecute her. Then there was the Captain of the Gen darmes, who had also seen her. He repeated his advice to start at once for Petersburg. "For," he continued, "I have sworn to atone for my crime, and now lean do it. I have the proof in my hands of your hus band's innocence. I should have risked my life to bring it to you." With these words he drew forth the care fully concealed receipts of Schelm, written and signed in his own handwriting, and gave it to Jana. "Upox the strength of this document," he said, "you can at any time demand an in vestigation as soon as you can see the head ot all tbe gendarmes or the Czar himself. Your Excellency, Providence itself comes to our assistance! This piece of paper proves clearlv Scfielm's guilt Mind tbe date, Oc tober 30, 1829. You will easily be able to prove that at that time there could be no conspiracy in existence. That began only three months later. Vladimir was exiled because he was the Ace of Hearts. Even this name did not exist on that day. Fur thermore, I hand you the paper signed by myself. 1 swear it by the Holy Gospels mougn a nave ceased to believe in them, those who will read it still do believe that I was employed by Schelm as agent pro vocateur. With these two documents Your Excellency must start to-night" " Jana's face had undergone a great change as Miller proceeded in his statement "You are right," she said; I must start to night! I must not be reckless now, when Vladimir's liberty is at stake. I thank you tor having come to me to-day, other wise I should never have agreed to under take this journey, and who knows but to morrow it may be too late?" "And now, Your Excellency, if my evi dence should at any time be necessary, I will appear at your bidding, should it cost me my life. Do not hesitate to resort to extreme measures! In a few months my evidence will be of great weight We have arms now, and in a short time my name will be so well known that it will reach even the Czar's earsl" "You frighten ntel What are your plans?" "You have assisted us in procuring arms, and we shall make a good use of them! I repeat if you ever want me, summon me and I shall comet I mean, above all things, to atone for my crime." Jana offered him her hand. "If your life should have to be imperiled in order to prove Vladimir s innocence, how shall I ever be able to accept such a sacrifice?" He knelt down before her and kissed the hem of her dress. "You know how to inspire even criminals with lofty feelings, Countess. I bless you! Leave here. Do not fear, I shall watch over him!" Jana next called Dr. Haas. "Doctor," she said to him, "I shall leave here to-night, following your advice. Will you accompany me or wait for me here?" "When will you cease asking my opinion, Countess? I do what you order me and what you think right or proper." This periect devotion, so unselfish and so modest, moved Jana to tears. "I will obey you, doctor, and ask you: 'Where do you think you can serve me bet ter, here or in Petersburg?' " "Here I cannot do much. Mr. Miller is perfectly able to watch over the Count There might be fighting, and he is born for fighting, while I would be useless in such a case. Permit me to accompany you, Countess!" Miller here walked up to Dr. Haas and said: "You know my past. The Countess has just shaken hands with me; will you also have the kindness to take my hand in yours?" Haas hesitated a momsnt and Miller no ticed this, although it was but a moment "There is my hand," said the doctor in his usual mild voice. Miller was on the threshold. In a muffled tone of voice he said, "Till we meet again," and disappeared. That same evening Jana left Irkutsk with Dr. Haas. Iiina remained behind in charge of tbe house. On tbe third day after these events, dur ing the glosming, when Jana's carriage was stopping before the tollgate of a little vil lage, it suddenly opened to let a sleigh pass through that was on its way to Irkutsk, The revisor was just leaving the city. Neither Jana nor Haas could tea hit face. On the third day after Jana's departure, Count Palkin presented himself at the palace of the Governor General at Irkutsk. He bad come in a coach, and foutfd it diffi cult to mount the stairs. His sharply marked features had become still more angular in consequence of his sufferings; his eyes glowed with fierce but subdued ex citement; his face was pale and his whole form bowed. He had had to spend several days in bed, partly from the chastisement he had received and partly from the effect of his iury. Still sick and trembling he slowly crept along the passage in the palace and told the adiutant on dutv that he wished to see the Governor on very im portant business. The Governor admitted him at once. . "Your Excellency," exclaimed Palkin, as soon as he stood before him, "'I" have been the victim of an incredible outrage. Count Lanin and his wile have formed a con spiracy with a number of rebels and caught me in a trap. An exile, whom I impru dently-employed as my secretary, his be trothed and an officer of the police are all involved in the same plot. The whole affair looks like a rising against the Czar. I there fore come to ask your Excellency to punish the guilty. The matter is this " The Governor had so far patiently lis tened to Palkin, who had spoken in a threatening tone and almost lost his breath, but when he began his narrative he inter- nnfarl 1-ifm Annllv Bfiinr SUJJktVI U1U1 VWUlITi SMf UJI "I know all, Colonel, and I hope the crim inals will not escape their well-deserved punishment It seems, however, as if you also were somewhat to blame but this will appear in the investigation. The killing of Popoffisa crime, the cruelty of which I shall never approve of. As to the guilt of Count Lanin, I think you must be in errorl" "Your Excellency," cried Palkin, turn ing pale with wrath, "will surely not shel ter that rebel!" The Governor looked sternly at him. "I have no intention to shelter anv one. It it depended on me, I should let justice be administered, and the guilty ones be pur sued to their most secret hiding-places. But from this day I have nothing more to say here. A revisor has just arrived from Pe tersburg with most ample powers. At pres ent he is engaged in my bureau. You can have your name sent in to him I believe he is alone just now. The Governor meved aside haughtily, pointing to the door that led into his private office. "You insolent aristocrat," murmured Pal kin; "we shall see if I cannot drive you away from here! So the revisor has already come. I must see what he says." With a groan of pain he entered the room. The revisor was sitting in an armchair, ex amining a pile of numbered documents. When the door opened thus unexpectedly be looked up. "Schelm!" cried Palkin, drawing back a step. The former bead of division rose. "Baron Scbelmenberg. if you you please, senator and revisor, who, at your urgent re quest, has co'me as far as Siberia? Hat ha! Captain Palkint You desire perhaps to challenge me? At present my power ex tends all over you, since tbe gendarmes are subject to my revision. I may degrade you fir ni1 irnti trt IKa minac tn An fnmmtl I.Ka. and I give you my word I shall make good use of my rights and privileges." Palkin, who at first had been frightened by this sudden encounter with Schelm, soon overcame his confusion. He possessed, as he had shown more than once, as much real couroge as cunning. He drew nearer, and, not minding bis pain for the moment, he took a chair to impose on Schelm. "Nol" he exclaimed boldly, "you will make no use of such rights and privileges!" Schelm's character remained true to itself; Palkin's cold self-possession made him furious. "Who will prevent me? Yon, Colonel, who have at this moment nothing more to say here, for I herewith divest you of vour rank and whatever power may have been given you. Away with you. You are under arrest By what right do you dare sit down in my presence?" "Caution, my dear Mr. Schelm," replied Palkin, ironically. "You can, ot course, destroy me if you should in a moment of madness forget yourself so far. Consider; I snail perisn wnn you, not aione. "What does that mean? I have "been warned to be considerate with the gendarmes, but this surpasses all I have ever seen. One word more and I shall send for the po lice." "You wish to force me, then, to surrender a certain receipt for 100,000 roubles?" No sooner had Palkin spoken these words than Schelm fell upon him like a tiger upon his prev. "Ah," he cried, "you Satan, you have that receipt?" x "Would I have begun the battle with out it?" Palkin acted upon the information he had obtained during the terrible night at the village. Convinced that he would be able to manage Schelm by simple threats, he had permitted himself a barefaced lie, and this boldness met with unexpected success. Schelm dropped into his chair, almost over whelmed. "In spite of your double-refined intrigues, M. Schelm, or rather von Schelmberg," said Palkin, "vou must confess that for once you are helpless. Why did you throw down the gauntlet when I am quite willing to proceed in union with you?" "Traitor! Why did you not hand me that paper with the others?" "How can you ask? Was I to trust you so much farther than you were willing to trust me? I wanted to keep one weapon for a case of need. You must see that I was wise in acting thus. Calm yourself, there fore, honored M. Beviser, and listen to me! You received me very badly' at the very moment when I was about to offer you the means of making Lanin and his wife for ever harmless!" "You do not tell the truth. You have protected them!" "I had to keep them close at hand to pro duce them whenever you might call for them! But what are they to me, if we can become reconciled? You wanted to avenge yourself on Lanin for an unknown insult, but I assure you that your insult shrinks into nothing when compared with what has happened to me." Palkin spoke with such passionate fire that Scbelm recognized the voice of truth, and tbe two men shook hands. "Do you know, Palkin," said Schelm, "we must make an end of it with these people. I no longer hate them, but I some times fear them. Now, I am a Senator, a man of importance in the empire, the hus band of the rich daughter of a German banker, and with a great future before me. jjut iur mis one nuair a. would oe Sappy. But I still tremble lest something should turn up. xnis is what made me ask for th position as reviser to get rid of them for ever. Both Count Lanin and his wife must disappear, and leave no trace behind. I shall persecute thera and worry them to death. But I need rest; I conuot sleep. If you will honestly assist me I promise to be come your ally." Palkin looked so scornfullv at the reviser that he unconscionsly cast down his eyes. "And yet you are already meditating how you may shake me off, when I am rio longer a useful tool? But I do not mind that! As long "as I am in possession of this weapon of mine, which I would not surrender for nundreds ot thousands, you are powerless against me. I shall be your faithful ally, although you know how I rejoice at 'your good fortune, and that I would rather see you starve. What do you sav?" Schelm replied in a voice which sounded almst sincere: "Why should we uot try nt least? Well, what can you tell me about Lanin?" "Laswteek I learnt through my spies that my secretary, Nicholas Popoff, whom you know, I believe" "Is he here?" broke in Schelm. "You need not be afraid or his evidenee. He is dead!" "He is not alive any longer? Is that true?" "Do you think a man can receive COO blows with the nagalka and live? I did not get 50, and I can hardly move!" "You were knouted? You, Colonel?" Palkin shook at the mere recollection, and his voice became the utterance of savage cruelty. (2b 4a ooiriinuednezt Sunday,) DUTIES OFA NUKSE.

THE SICE ROOM IWUl'lJJI TOB TUB SISPATC2.1 a.i professional nurse has many disagreeable things to encounter. Evil things are said of every one in this world, even those whose philanthropic work is greatest. Some day, good nurse, you will be misrepresented, but if you are -true to yourself time will right the wrong. You should form habits of conversation that ex clude everything frivol- ous and objectionable. Never hesitate to call things by their names. The vocabularies of the physician and nurse are not identical with that of the clergyman or the editor, but what your work demands, that speak about, and speak with exactness. Notice the never failing advantage that refined people with pure minds have in every station of life over tbe coarse and vulgar. You will meet a variety of people and find it best to 'early adapt yourself to their peculiarities. Always keep, your temper and never exhibit forgetfulness to a patient A good, general education never comes amiss. You will find it of benefit in many ways, but you cannot pursue an ex tended line of study and do successful nurs ing at me same time. TAKE DISAPPOINTMENTS CHEERFULLY. Never receive callers except such as come on purely business purposes, and then let the call be as brief as possible. Be careful, says a writer on this topic, not to allow anv duties or pleasures ontsid of the house in which you are engaged to interfere in the slightest degree with the patient, whose comfort or even safety is confided to your care. Should any sudden emergency arise which would interfere with some plan of your own, never communicate such a dis- specting without being supercilious; to be educated without calling attentiou to it, and to be religious without preaching it these' are qualities mat are not all commonly cen tered in one person, but they are wonderful helps to successful nursing as well as to some other callings. The training ot n nnrse is not from books though she may be told many useful things by them. The' actual contact with the sick is necessary and nursing in the household and in the hospital are very different Many hospitals prefer to train all their nurses after a system of their own. Many institutions prefer the graduates of training schools for nurses. But very many useful and most efficient nurses tnever have seen the inside of a city hospital or training school and never will; and they acquire many times a self-reliance and ready skill in household nursing that is not excelled in any institution. The sick room should be large and well ventilated, with possibilities of sunlight and artificial warmth. Choose the quiet side or part of the house and it should never be damp. Except in extraordinary cases light is indispensable to tbe best relief of the sick. It should be softened and sub dued, not glaring. The light should be ad mitted in quantities. It is an element of cheerfulness, and on that acconnt should be admitted while the patient can bear it with out inconvenience. ELI PERKINS' 'TALES.

In the sick roombe always cheerful, even though the case be hopeless. In the house hold, however, let your "cheerfulness be of the kind that does not deceive. Outside of the sick room be perfectly' frank and out spoken. Frequently the nurse should, if her duties permit, retire to an adjoining room when members of the family enter the sickroom, so that her presence may not in- teriere wiin necessary private conversation. Occasionally, too, either the physician or patient may desire that you retire for a few moments that necessary remarks may be passed between them which the patient does not desire that you hear. A PANIC IN THE SICK ROOM. When an emergency rises keep cool. Do not betray yourself into expressing pany doubts about what is to be done. If you'lose your head a panic in the sick room and even in the household is inevitable. Under such circumstances do not do anything because you feel that you must do something; but calmly and qnickly decide what the trouble is, and then do the best you can. You will then nave a reason for what you have done, and to be able to give a good reason for your doings will fortify you both in your own estimation and in that of others. Be ready, as far as possible, for the expected visits of the physician, and if since his last visit an unfavorable change has occurred inform him of the fact, if possible, before he enters the sick room. Never allude to any un favorable symptoms or conditions in the presence of the patient Dome one nas remarked that the nnrse should report to the physician at a proper time any disobedience to his orders of which the patient or the patient's friends may have been guilty. Such information a doctor will always consider as confiden tial, and as such he will act nnnn it with. out, however, betraying the source whence his information came. This U no more than justice to the physician whose is the responsibility, and who is often held ac countable for life or death. Remember that you must study your patient and his pecu liarities and be a keen observer of human nature. Be an inspiration of hoA and con fidence. A soothing, bright and gentle manner is an excellent capital, your best stock in trade. FLEXIBILITY Off MANNER. Do not allow yourself to be taken by sur prise. It the unexpected occurs, be pre pared for it by a cool head and a ready fnowieuge ui wuat to uo. .an excellent plan is to frequently ask yourself, what would I do in such a case, or if the disease should assume this or that possible change, and if you are unable to answer your ques tion, then make it a study until you feel pre pared for such possible emergency. Self-command, quick discernment, ad dress and ability to adapt one's self to ever changing phases, are great necessities, and if you have the ability to control your tem per and maintain composure under the thousand provocations given, it will afford you great advantages over those who can not, a,nd prove greatly to your credit There is one thing you will need to notice, viz: that the routine ot duties, if unrelieved by the variety of an occasional respite ot a day or an evening will in time render your work distasteful to you and less satisfactory to those for whom it is done. A.little leisure is a necessity; an evening out auoras diversity; a day among tne well is a luxury; and all these necessities, diver sions and luxuries restore lost mental and nervous equilibrium aud "subdue irrita bility." Take regular exercise whenever you can, and plan to take sufficient sleep and rest It is not possible to make a com plete list of the qualities to be desired in a nurse. If we should say truthfulness, punc tuality, neatness, order gentleness, health, self-respect, culture, virtue, religiop, are all requisites we would be correct But we would do better to say that possessing a womanly sense of honor, virtue and good ness, with good judgment and experience one cannot go very tar astray. SOUS DESIEABLE QUALITIES. To say little and to the point; to be punctual without being burdensome; to be neat without railing a dust; to be orderly without killing the patient) to be nlf-r EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT. The sunlight has a direct and powerful influence for good upon the physical system, and on this account, also,its presence should be regarded as a prime necessity. Blinds or moveablescreeus may be provided to shield the eyes, if the latter are too sensitive to bear the direct rays; but no substitute for light can perform its powerful service as a sanitary agent in the sick chamber. The time is coming when houses will be built with an invalid's room. It will be re mote from the kitchen and the nursery. It will have no stationary lavatories, detective traps and draining pipes. The walls will have some soft, neutral tint, and the wood work will be plain. Carpets wilf bo dis pensed with and small rugs will take their place. A convenient table will reach well. over the bed, when wanted there, and the furniture will be simple and plain. This room will be furnished with good air, and. it possible, sunshine, and will be cheerful and substantial rather than ornamental. Sunshine is a most excellent medicine, and in crowded buildings the sunny side has tbe least sickness, and in hospitals, generally speaking, patients in sunny rooms recover soonest. Sick people love the light, and unless the eyes be sensitive, sit or lie with their faces toward it SWEEPING AND VENTILATING. If the room is carpeted it may be swept by a hand brush alter first scattering dampened bits of paper or tea leaves upon it, without raising much dust. Of course a floor of hard wood, well polished, is the cleanest and best for a sick room, and most easily kept clean. Bugs can be laid down to walk on, and may be carried out to be dusted. It should be possible to ventilate the room without a draft of air passing over the patient. The same window opened at both ton and bottom, will freanentlv Ac complish this. Sometimes it will do to cover the patient with extra bedding, and also cover his face, and with door and window both opened wide, in a moment, the entire air is changed with rapidity and ease. Some outdoor glimpse should "be visible from the bed or chair, where the invalid lies, if it is but the ton of a tree and a bit of sky. Ir friends knew how irksome, how posi tively harmful, is the sameness of the sick room, surely love and skill would devise remedies. If it were only bringing in a blue flower to-day and a pink one to-morrow; banging a iresh picture to vary the monotony of the wall, or even an old one in a new place something, anything. To see many of his surroundings changed at once confuses an invalid; to have one little nov elty ata time to varr the point of observa tion stimulates and cheers. Give him thai and you do more and better than if you filled the apartment with iresh objects. J. B. S. (COBUXSFOITDIKCS OT THE DISFATCH.1 London, June 7. A party of John Bullites at the Savage Club last night wanted to know what Max O'Eell was doing in America so I told them this story: "As Max O'Eell came into the train, after his Portsmouth lecture, a polite young man stepped up to him and said: 'I beg pardon, but are you the gentleman who de livered the lecture last night?' 'I am,' said Mr. O'Eell, with some pride. 'Well, I want to thank you for it I don't know when I ever enjoyed mysel! more than when you were talking.' " 'You are very complimentary,' said Max, blushing to his ears 'very compli mentary. I am glad my humble effort was wortby of your praise, and the proud O'Eell took the young man warmly by the hand. " 'Yes,' continued the young man, 'your lecture gave me immense pleasure. You see I am engaged to a Portsmouth girl, and her three sisters all went, and I bad my girl in the parlor all to myself. Oh, it was a happy night! tbe night you lectured in Portsmouth. When are you going to lecture there again?' THE ENGLISHMAN DESPISES TBADE. It is amusing to see how abject the so called trades people in England are in the presence of royalty, and how they bring dis grace upon their own calling. The trades men are only parodies on men. They love to kiss the feet of an aristocrat and are per petually admitting that they are only cellu loid, wbiie an ignorant, drunken duke like .Lord J romgjte is pure ivory. They con sider it a disgrace for a man to take even a mental interest iu trade. Tbe other day I stumbleiTinto a large carriage manufactory in Leamington. The proprietor bowed and scraped as if I were a duke when I priced a $300, two-wheel dogcart (about the same price you would pay for U in New York). "I am deeply interested in the trades," I said, "and speaking of carriages, I should like to know what wages you pay a journey man carriage maker in England?" "I beg pardonl" he said, turning red in the lace. "I should like to know the wages of your blacksmiths, woodworkers and painters, and" "Ah!" he stammered, "I thought you were a gentleman; I did not know you were interested in trade."

The best way to organize is to form a stock company, disposing of shares to those who propose to become members, and put up a good building. The interior of the gym nasium floor should be plain and the appar atus simple.

A BIG FISH DmUEB. A Michigan Man Swallow 200 Pike With out Inconvenience. The Michigan Fish Commission's car At- tikumaig, which is now traveling about tbe State stocking lakes and streams, was at tached to the Grand Trunk train leaving Lansing west-bound at 10 A. M. Friday, says the Detroit Tribune. J. W. Powers was in charge, and, recognizing some per sonal friends in the adjoining passenger car, be nodded quietly to them and invited them into the Attikumaig, where he ex plained the work of the commission. He opened one of tbe ice boxes and showed them a number of cans such as are used for the transportation of milk imbedded in the ice; Taking a small tumbler he dipped out a little of the contents of one and showed bis visitors about 200 wall-eyed pice that had been hatched only two days before. The fish were about tbe size of a pin head, but were as active as a lot of crickets. When the last had inspected it he handed ic back to Mr. Powers, and just then a Grand Army man in full regalia entered the car. Mr. Powers thought that he was one of the party, and extended the glass to him. He took it, held it up to the light as the others had done, while a "don't-mind-if-I-do" smile played over his features. Just then the train started and the stranger sud denly said "Thanks," and before anyone realized wnat was on bis mind swallowed the contents of tbe tumbler at a single gulp and sprang from the train. The crowd ran out to see him, standing on the platform staring after the car in open-mouthed aston ishment. Somebody remembered having seen him gazing into the car while the tumbler was being passed around, and then somebody else remembered that the liquid in the glass looked very much like gin. "Well," said Mr. Powers, "he didn't eet as badly left as he might, after all, for 200 wall-eyed pike is the biggest fish dinner for one that I ever heard of." A WAITEE'S HOHESTY. Rewarded for Restoring Diamonds That He Conld Not Pawn. There was an occurrence not long ago in the city of Minneapolis, says the St Paul Globe, which well illustrated the making of virtue a necessity and profiting thereby. A lady, than whose name there is none better known in the theatrical world, was playing an engagement at the Grand. She stopped, of course, at the West One day she was engaged in looking over her wardrobe, or a portion or it in her room, and, being busy, had ber luncheon sent to her room. When it came her stage diamonds, made of the purest paste, were scattered about on the table, among them being a large rross heavily set with sparkling diamonds. It caught the eye of the waiter who brought up the tray, and, by a little juggling with his napkin, he secured it. He rushed downtown as soon as possible to. in vulgar parlance, "hock" it, but found that he could raise but SO cents on it He was a "smooth guy," so he has tened back to the hotel, only to find that tbe lady had departed for the matinee perform. ance. To the theater he went, and, securing admission at the stage entrance on "pressing business from Miss , Hotel," he found the lady and restored to her tbe dia mond cross, which, he plausibly set forth, had become entangled in a napkin. She had never even missed the ornament, but she was so delighted with the fellow's hon esty that she bestowed on him a $5 bill. This is a true story, and one which will not be incorporated among those in the Sunday school books under the title "The Eeward of Honesty." A DOLLAB TWXNTT A DAT. My voice was in good trim that day and would have filled the Chicago Auditorium, and I gave it all out in a free lecture to this bass wood flunkey. Then I went among the skilled workmen, who informed me in the gentlest manner that the cringing, red faced rank worshipper paid them about ?1 20 a day. Between Mayfair and Oxford street is a pretty shop window with sweet lace curtains and three of the smartest bonnets in Lon don. This shop with the sign "Madame Lierre," is kept by Ludy Granville Gordon! Think of it a titled lady making bonnets! I called there with my wife and she fonnd she could buy a bonnet for $8 and it was shown bv the lady herself. Of course there were other bonnets, running up to $16. I have not seen a bonnet in London that could not be bought for $20. In New York bon nets get up to S40 and $50, but only about $10 is bonnet; the rest is ehain lightning and carbonic acid gas. When I asked Lady Gordon, it it was not disagreeable to her to show bonnets to every one and if it did not change her social position, she said: CAN'T GO TO COTJBT. "Yes, but I am a philosopher withal. Of course, being in trade, I cannot go to court without a special permit from the Lord Chamberlain." "Could you go to court if you should give up business? "Certainly. Madame Elise, who used to keep a shop, retired, married the rich Mr. Isaacson and is now welcomed at court My little girl, when she grows up can ba pre sented, but not by me, unless I shall have retired on a fortune." "Do you mind telling me how you hap pened to go into business?" I asked. "You know we Americans are very curious." "Certainly," said the Lady Milliner. smiling, "I needed money. I started with $500, but I have prospered and now I have more than a thousand customers. I used to go to drawing rooms beforel became a bread winner, bnt a good bank account is better than a Queen's drawing room to me." "Did your lady friends all stand by you? "Not all, but only three deserted me." "Of course you have many curious ex periences?" I suggested. A TITLED MILLINER'S EXPEDIENCES. "O, yes. One day an over-dressed woman came iu and I attended to her personally. She was irritable and hard to suit, and finally said. 'I want you to send me the forewoman. I don't want to be annoyed by a shopgirl who gives herself airs.' On leaving the shop she asked whether 'Lady Gordon ever came there hersels " 'That was her Ladyship who attended you first,' said the attendant . " 'O, dear' she said, 'and to think I came here on purpose to see her, and then sent her a way!' "On another occasion" said Lady Gordon, "a rich tradesman's wife made a bet that she would bring a titled lady to her house on business. Well she wrote a note request ing that Madam Lierre would wait upon ber in person about a bonnet I fell into tbe trap and she had tbe- pleasure of introducing Lady Granville Gordon to numerous friends. We all chatted quite freely, but before I left she called me aside and said: " 'You have such sweet taste! Do send me to-morrow the best bonnet vou can make no matter what price.' She won the bet cleverly and I never knew it till months afterwards." Eli Pekkins. asserted that a sound man of 60, for example, need not feel a day older until he is 70 or thereabouts, if he will take unremitting care of his health.
