"That is true, to be surel" raid the Ee
Tisor. Then be rang the bell and told the
officials immediately to assemble all the civil
and military authorities in the city.
Falkin rose to leave the room; the effort
cost him excruciating pain.'
"In life and in death we'll be loyal to each
other, Palkin. Is it not so? I humbly ac
knowledge 1 have not acted handsomely, as
far asyou are concerned."
"In li "e and in death we'll stand by each
other, Schelm. I leave you the husband
and you leave me the wife!'
CHAPTKB XXVTL
Highly delighted at this tarn of affairs,
Palkin returned home. He had sneceeded
in deceiving Scbelm, and yet made him his
ally. He had feared nothing so much as to
find this former chief a bitter enemy. He
reflected on their relative position. Schelm
was now his only superior, and he held him
iu subjectinu by means of the documents
that compromised him so grievously. Sud
denly Palkin remembered Helen. If she
met the Bevisor and told him all, the most
disastrous consequences would follow. She
must be put out of the way. Oue. moment
lie thought of going down into the cellar,
where he kept her imprisoned, and murder
ing her there. But, upon trying tbestrength
of his arms, he found that be could not
overcome the resistance even of a woman.
Should be take a pistol to shoot the cirl?
But the explosion might be heard. Schelm
might send '.or her bow could he explain
her disappearance? Alter long meditation
, he came to the conclusion that there was
only one way to prevent Schelm and Helen
from meeting, and that was to let berescape.
This depended on him alone, as he had kept
the key, and could easily visit his prisoner,
without exciting attention. He disliked
the idea of releadiug a prisoner who had
been the cause of so much suffering to him.
, but Schelm was too dangerous!
' Toward evening the gendarmes on dnty
were very much surprised when they re
ceived permission to go home. Palkin
quickly got the cellar key and went down
to PopofTs betrothed. He found her curled
up in a corner like a wild beast As soon
as she saw PopofTs murderer her eyes began
to burn with irrepressible hatred, and her
generally very gentle features changed in a
leartul manner.
"Poor child," said Palkin, with Hypo
critical compassion. "You must not judge
us from appearances. "We have many things
to do from duty, over which we weep in our
hearts. I deeply deplore poor PopofTs
deathl I reproach myself continually that
I gave way to my wrath. I mean to atone
lor my wrong as far as I can. I therefore
give yon your freedom, poor childl"
She looked at him scornfully and shook
her head. The colonel wanted to explain to
her his good intentions, and, seeing her mis
trust, he went to the door, opened it wide
and said:
"Go with God, and forgive me!"
She understood perfectly that he meant
her to escape; why that she could not di
vine. She feared a trap. But the solitude
in tbe dark, damp cellar had been hard to
bear; she felt that she could better defend
herself in tbe open air, and thus she fled, as
a bird escapes from its cage. She was no
sooner out of reach than Palkin repented his
good deed.
"Why don't yon say. at least. I thank
yon?" he asked.
Aloud, weird laugh was all that came
back to him. She disappeared at a corner
of the street. Then, to relieve himself of
every possible suspicion, he tore off the sta
ple of the lock, left the door standing open
and then went to rest.
Only on the following morning did
Helen's escape become generally known.
Tbe gendarmes had returned late, and found
the lock broken. Schelm scolded and
blamed everybody, Palkin pulled out his
hair, but as Helen could not be found the
matter was soon torgotten. Palkin's whole
wrath seemed now to be concentrated on
the unlucky Captain. The croceedinn
against him were hurried on, and a fort
night after his arrest he appeared before
the court-martial. There was no escape
for the poor man. He could, of
course, make many revelations of the
Colonel's secret proceedings, his orders to
watch Palkin, and other irregularities, but
all was no avail. The court came to the
conclusion that he had long cherished
bloody hatred against his superior, and he
was sentenced to receive 4,000 blows with
the knout in other words, to death.
When the sentence was read to the un
fortunate man he fainted awnv. and when
he recovered afterwards it appeared that he
had lost his senses. Caroline wished to
have one more interview with him, and re
ceived the necessary permission. But the
Captain knew nothing, hecontinually asked
lor mercy. He besought her to intercede
for him with the Governor, even with the
Countess Lanin, of whose departure he
knew nothing. She promised to try, not
for his sake, but lor her own sake, to avoid
being known as the widow ot a man who
was knouted to death. Finally she went
away in great haste, without casting a
glance at her husband or saying a word of
lenaerness. She at once went to work to pe
tition everybody, but she met with nothing
but deaf ears. The crime was too fearful.
When she saw that all was in vain she
swore a most horrible oath, full of'hatred
against Count Lanin, the exiles all, but es
pecially against Jana and Palkin.
Schelm was now the independent ruler of
Eastern Siberia. His first order had been
to arrest the Countess. As 'this could not be
done, Iiina and two servants who were
found in her house were arrested. Thus be
gan the new regime.
Ali the officials of Irkutsk had beeu, heart
and soul, devoted to the Governor General,
and on that account already looked askant
at Schelm. The local commandant, S gray
haired general, brave in the field, but timid
in daily life, surrendered at once. Other.
however, were not as submissive, nor as
patient. Matters, in fact, became daily
worse. Almost at the same time with the
arrival of tbe Bevisor there appeared a well
organized ana well-armed band of men who
created a regular panic in a lew days. The
leader ot this baud had, in the short period
of two months, known how to make himself
a legendary hero, a second Proteus, who ap
peared everywhere and ever in a different
form. Xow people swore that he had
been seen at 20 places at the same
hour, and now that he was hete or
there, as he chose. Thev called him the
"Czar of the Exiles." He was without
mercy against the Government officials and
especially those who had shown themselves
arbitrary or cruel in their treatment of
exiles. The band surprised one colony after
the other, always murdering the inspectors
with great cruelty. The robbers had soon
established a reenlar terrorism in'the whole
district, especially after they had actually
taken a small town, killing all the garrisou
and securing a regimental safe with large
sums of money. 2Jo one could travel with
out a considerable escort. Even the Gov
ernment messengers and couriers were
captured, the official despatches broken
open and examined, and then they were al
lowed to proceed on their Way. These
couriers especially told such fearful, grue
some stories that no one could sleep quietly
ut night. Be ports came actually in now
that several large tribes of Tunguses-had
risen in rebellion, reiniorcing these bands.
Schelm was utterly helpless; for this was in
April when the general thaw had cut off
nearly all communication.
One of Schelm's first measures had been to
entorce and increase the severity of all laws
concerning the exiles. This created great
dissatislaction, and ere long the dblonists
began to disappear, leaving no trace. Soon
rumors came that it was no longer a band,
but an admirably officered and perfectly
well-drilled military force that defied the
Government. They had appeared about 30
vrsts from Irkutsk, and as tbe colonists
generally joined them wherever they showed
themseives, their number was estimated at
1,000 men. Snch a force, quite imposing
for Siberia, disturbed Schelm very seri
ously. Schelm, a coward by nature, actu
ally tried to persuade some colonists, who
were still at their places, to inform these
rebels that he would not molest them in any
choorfa. Bat he found no ready ears for hit
offers.
The rebels, so far from thinking of leav
ing Irkutsk on the contrary only drew
near to the city, anil the monks of the con
vent of St. George affirmed that one day the
leaderiof the band, a giant dressed in red,
had flown by them at tbe head of a hundred
horsemen and disappeared again in a mo
ment. Tbey maintained that they bad seen
his feature quite distinctly; he was a man
in his best vears and in the full vigor of
manhood. The horsemen had swept by like
specters in an instant; one of them, to
irighten them, had fired a carbine at a win
dow in the convent, but tbe leader bad
reprimanded him in such a voice of thunder
that they bad heard every word.
"Keep your balls for the slaves of the
Czar! Whv waste them against the servants
of God? These yon may despise, but those
you are bound to kill and to murder, because
tbey do us harm.'
In spite of his daily growing anxiety, in
spite of the constant efforts of his cunning
mind, Scbelm did not cease to increase tbe
cruelty oi his treatment of the unfortunate
exiles, so that the general discontent grew
from day to day. He was specially furious,
because his principal victim, Iianin, lor
whose sake he had mainly made the enor
mous journey, had so far escaped him. The
commandant of the prison in which he was
enjoyed tbe Governor's lull confidence, and
deserved it thoroughly. He had been sum
moned before the latter, a few hours before
bis departure, and was expressly forbidden
to inter ere in the slightest with the penal
ties decreed against his prisoners. The
Governor had his doubts about Count Lan
in's guilt and wanted to secure him against
further persecution during his absence. The
commandant, knowing this, had solemnly
promised him to watch over Lanin's person.
Schelm tried various ways to induce him to
leave lanin in his bands. Then he at
tempted to persuade him to let Lanin es
cape, feeling sure that in such a case Lanin
would soon furnish bim with a new cause
for arrest, but all in vain. The brave old
man was not to be moved. Schelm had oue
more resource he could depose the com
mandant. But he was appointed by the
Governor General and could, therefore, not
be removed during his absence; besides, the
whole town knew him and honored him,
and he had never given the slightest cause
for complaint.
Finally, therefore, Schelm felt compelled
to resort to his favorite means; he had to
employ spies, spies even in prison. "Vladi
mir's greatest pain had been the unavoida
ble contact with the other prisoners. Save
two or three, whose crime was the same as
his own, he was surrounded by thieves and
murderers. These very naturally hated
the man who stood so high above them and
who, they knew, loathed their sight.
Schelm's spies were instructed to fan this
feeling of hatred and to increase it by a va
riety of vile and utterly false insinuations.
This was an easy task for them, under the
circumstances, and soon all of Vladimir's
fellow-prisoners had become bitter enemies
of his.
But this did not suffice for Schelm. He
sent another spy there to gain Vladimir's
confidence and lead him gradually to make
confessions that could be used to his de
struction. Thus two months passed, during
which Vladimir was cautious enough to be
silent on all subjects that might have
caused him trouble.
Schelm's impatience grew with everyday,
and at last he resolved to take a decisive
step. Schelm was brooding over his plan,
which he felt confident would deliver his
victim beyond redemption into his bands.
when one day the courier brought letters
from Petersburg, and among them one of
special importance, which was handed to
Schelm in Palkin's presence. It enclosed a
letter lor uount Xiantn. The rule among
Siberian exiles requires that every letter
addressed to one ot the colonists shall be
opened and read by the head of the police
or the chief of the gendarmes. As soon as
Schelm had entered upon his duties at
Irkutsk, he had specially ordered that all
such letters should be first brought to him.
Por two months no letters had come to
Vladimir. Palkin did not know this, and
was, therefore, mnch surprised when Scbelm
suddenly exclaimed, triumphantly: "At
last a letter from the Capital for Count
Lanin."
Palkin did not share the joy of his ally;
on tbe contrary, he was in a state of un
usual excitement. He had long been sick
in consequence of his fearful sufferings un
der the knout, and had for some time been
unable to follow tbe footsteps of his enemies.
He did not even know what had become of
that all-important receipt which was
thought to be in his possession. Jana niieht
Dossibly have taken it to Petersburg with
her and mention it in the letter that had
just been received. Now, if Schelm should
open the letter and find that the gendarme
had told him a falsehood, he would make
him pay dearly for it. Palkin thought of
all this, full of anxiety, while Schelm was
joyrully playing with the letter.
"What do you mean to do?" asked Palkin
anxiously.
"You think perhaps I'll open tbe letter
and read it?" asked Schelm, scornfully.
"I am not such a fool. The letter comes
from his wife, and no doubt contains
nothing but tender caresses. I do not want
to excite his suspicion. The law, to be sure,
is on my side, but nowadays the letters are
generally handed over to the exiles un
opened. Besides, 1 shall be able to get the
letter whenever I may want It No, nol At
last the long hoped for opportunity presents
itself, and I shall not let it escape mel"
Palkin breathed freelv. That danger at
least was warded off. Schelm sent for his
spy and told Palkin that he would go to
the prison himself the same evening.
Here a new danger appeared. If Schelm
should ever get possession of tne letters he
might find-out everything. At one'glance
Palkin saw how matters stood, and as'
promptly he came to a decision. He must
warn Vladimir against Schelm's schemes
and advise him to destroy bis wife's letter
as soon as he had read it Like Schelm he

first and foremost
"My father has left me an immense for
tune 4,000,000 silver roubles! But the
only good this money can do me is to help
me to set you free. If I- could only return
to you in timet fori hare just heard my
second piece of news who has been ap
pointed revisor for Eastern Siberia. It is
our bitterest enemy, that man Schelm, who
has here a number of adherents and de
pendents. "At the head of his party stands the Min
ister of the Interior, Count Perowski. I hear
that my father's death was to render you a
great service. Tbe minister was about to
banish me from Petersburg on the pretext
that the wife of an exile was not allowed to
reside iu the capital. The Emperor, haw
ever, heard of this and would not consent
'It is perfectly in order that this noble
woman sbonld endeavor to carry out her
futher'j last wishes. She shall not be inter
fered with!"
kindly, repeated these words of the monarch
to me. Unfortunately the Uzar s benevo
lence stopped here. I asked the chief of
the gendarmes to promise me an audience
for a lew minutes only with the Czar. He
answered this was an" impossibility. I im
plored him. I tell on my knees be ore hini!
At last I suppose I must have found words
tnmoveiiim, for he grew milder and said:
'Try to get your uncle, Count lanin, to sign
your petition for an audience, and then I
will take the rest upon myself 1' I hastened
to your uncle's; he would not receive me,
and when I returned to Count O.-loff his
door also was closed to me! How petty, how
worthless they are!
"And yet, my dear Vladimir, I do not
mean to be discouraged. I shall tnock at
every door. To-morrow I think of taking a
very important step, but I do not tell you
what it is, because I should like to conclude
my next letter with a piece of good news.
Be patient meanwhile, bear everything for
the time being, and remember that your
wife is day and night at work for you, and
you alone!
"I must speak to the Emperor, even
should I have to address him on his favorite
promenade. -But who knows if I shall suc
ceed! The political horizon is darkening
the Czar looks sad and thoughtful; he walks
out but rarely."
Suddenly Vladimir paused, for he felt a
hand laid gently on his shoulder. Instantly
he concealed the letter in his clothing, and
turned round. Behind him stood a man,
whom Lanin suspected of being a spy, and
whom he therefore carefully avoided.
"Have a care," whispered this man.
"They want to ruin you. Destroy the letter
as soon as you have read it The revisor
will be here in a moment You are sur
rounded by spies!"
"And you are the head of them," Vladi
mir said contemptuously. "Leave me
alone."
But the spy was not deferred.
"I give you my solemn assurance I have
been ordered to warn you, and thus to pro
tect you. Then he whispered Palkin's
name into Vladimir's ears.and moved away.
Instinctively Vladimir looked around,
but as he saw nothing formidable he went
on reading.
"I verily believe an evil destiny pursues
me. Once more I have beeu disappointed.
Can a greater grief be conceived than mine,
when I thins: that one word from me could
change the whole state of things, and that
word caunot reach the man who alone can
help us? Tbe step on which I counted was
a visit to Bit a. She is indeed a noble creat
ure, and I think you have done her injus
tice. She is devoted to me, but she tells me
that since 1850 circumstances have altered
very much. Since Napoleon is Emperor
diplomatic relations between Prance and
Bussia have grown cool. A breach even is
momentarily expected. Mme. de Bugarcy
is no longer sucn a lavonte at court; the
Empress sees her only on solemn occasions,
and says little to her. Nevertheless she
promised me her assistance. Pive times we.
have attempted to get an audience with the
Empress at the Winter Palace, but always
in vain. My last hope is now to meet tbe
Czar on one of his walks and to hand him
my petition, lying on my knees before him.
Por five days I have patiently waited for
hours before tbe palace, hoping to sea him.
Tbe doors have never yet opened!
"I do not send the letter yet, because the
hour is near to make another attempt at the
palace gates. Perhaps I am lucky to-dayl
Tbe sky is so pure and clearl Jana.
"P. S. How good and gracious the Lord
isl Pull of despair I returned bnme,having
given up all hope to see the Czar. Tben
there came this card: 'General Count Moski.
Governor of East Siberia Be of good hope.
Andyou.dearVladimir.be cautious: as I
watch here over you, do you watch there
over yourself, and forget it not a single mo
ment." Vladimir was on the point of putting the
letter again into his pocket, hoping to read
it at night more at leisure, when he was
suddenly seized at both hands with great
violence. Terrified, be uttered a cry and
turned atound. Two overseers were stand
ing behind him. One, ot them held the
hand in which bis wile's letter was as with
an iron grasp, and before him stood Schelm,
accompanied by tbe commandant of the
prison.
Vladimir knew that Schelm had come to
Irkutsk, but he had not seen him yet Tbis
unexpected meeting with his pursuer at
such a moment excited him to such a degree
that he lost bis presence of mind.
"Please give me that letter at once," said
Schelm with affected politeness.
Vladimir did not think of it that Jana
must have expected the letter would get into
hostile hands, and had therefore no doubt
omitted everything that could compromise
Vladimir. He thoueht especially of that
.final reference to the Governor General, and
with one sublime effort he raised the letter
to his mouth with his left hand. At once
upon a sign from Schelm two men seized
him and drew the paper from his friend's
closed teeth. He could but just tear off with
his teeth the postscript and swallow it by a

N private houses uni

Mattresses are prelerable to feather beds,
and a woven wire bed with blaukets on it is
best of all. The pillows should not be too
hard, too full or too large, but there should
be plenty of tbem. The under sheet should
be large enough to fold under the mattress
all around, that it may be kept smooth.
The draw sheet, or rubber sheet, or enamelled
cloth sheet, when used, should be lour feet
long and reach across the bed, tucking un

They are placed hot iu the bed to keep it

where he may see you easily, but not on the

for yourself whether noise worries or wearies

rather than complain of it when the endur
ance is a positive injury.
P03ITIOK IN BED.
Patients will often ohoose their own posi
tion in bed and their notions pertaining
thereto are nnanswerable. Many persons
injure tbeir eyes by.reading during conva
lescence when the eyes are weak. Espe
cially is this true after measles, and some
other diseases. Not long ago I saw a young
lady treated for spinal curvature, which was
induced by the habit of lyinir with a pillow
stuffed under one side during convalescence
from typhoid fever.
Patients who have been long offtneir feet
soon loose the elasticity of tbe tendons of
the leg and feet and a tendency to shorten
ing ensues.
The limbs should be straightened every
day and the feet moved, the forward part ot
the feet .swung upward toward and back

muscles which control its motion.
I have seen many cases where the pillows

allowing the pillows for many days to make
a bend of the neck forward, the patient
lying on her back. J. B. S.

HOW TO CHANGE SHEETS.
The change of sheets of a bed on which a
helpless patient lies is an easy or a difficult
task according as you do it. Let the pa
tient rest toward one side of the bed, and
roll the soiled under sheet lengthwise up
beside him, spread tbe clean sheet on tbe
part of the mattress thus uncovered, and up
near the patient place the folded unopened
half of the sheet, as you see in the cut. Then
gently lift the shoulders of the patient
towards tbe other side of the bed; then bis
hips and feet; and then remove the soiled
sheet thus liberated, and bring over in its
place the other one-half of the clean under
sheet A well person, certainly a sick one,
should never be allowed to go to bed with
cold feet in summer or winter. It inter
feres with sleep as well as with comfort, and
tbe night's rest is not one-half as refreshing
as i would be if tbe feet were warm. Bub
them vigorously with a dry, coarse towel, or
bathe them with warni'water, rub dry and
draw on warm loose stockings; or at any
time when they are cold in bed let a large
wen-stopperea Dome ot hot water be
wrapped in a towel and applied to the feet
This is preferable to the hot irons or bricks
orsoap stones commonly suggested. Bottles
or jugs of water retain the heat much longer,
have no sharp corners to injure sensitive
neso ana are always clean.
TIIE FATAL CHILL.
You should remember that persons in
sickness do not produce heat as they do in
health, and your constant watchfulness in
some cases is necessary eery hour, every
halt hour, and in extreme cases constantly.
The hand should be placed over the surface
of the body and extremities to learn of their
condition. Many a patient has sunk rapidly
and died from the want of precaution. It
may seem a little thing; it may be a little
thing at the beginning, but your whole
duties are made up of trifles and so is per
fection, but "perfection is no trifle."
The fatal chill is most apt to occur toward
early morning at the period of the lowest
temperature of the 24 hours, and at
the time when the effect of tbe
previous day's diet is exhausted.
Generally speaking you may expect that
weak patients will suffer cold much more in
the morning than in tbe evening. The
vital powers are much lower. If they are
feverish at night, with burning hands and
feet, tbey are almost sure to be chilly and
shivering in the morning. Some nurses are
too onu 01 neating the leet warmer at night
Recalled by Two Picture Hannins
Clilcnua Manager'a Office.
Chicago Tribune.1
Two photographs of the old school hang
in the office of the manager ot McVicker's
Theater. One is that of N. M. Ludlow. It
was taken in 1880, on Ludlow's 86 th birth
day, and sent by Ludlow to James H. Mc
Vicker. Ludlow was manager of the com
pany in New Orleans iu which James H.
McVicker was call-boy. That was some
where in the vicinity ot" 1838. There is no
such thing in the theater of to-day as a
call-boy. What were the duties of a call
boy .in a theater? The prompter had the
characters in the plays numbered, and just
before they were to appear the prompter
would say to the call-boy:
"Call No. from the'green room."
And that was the first work Manager Mc
Vicker did on the stage.
The other picture is that of Tom Davey. It
was sent to Louie Sharpe by Davey as a rec
ollection of tbe time when Louie was call
boy for Davey at the St. Charles Theater, in
New Orleans. That was in 1858. Davey was
prompter for Ben De Bar. Sharpe went to
New Orleans looking for a job. Davey told
him he would have to see De Bar, and he
took Sharpe down the street on which De
Bar lived, and, pointing out the house,
said:
"Now, do you stay here and keep your
eye on that door, and when Mr. De Bar
comes out you hit him for a job."
onarpe was lett atone. Uld Uen did not
appear for some time that morning. He was
several nours late. Shaipe had bad no
breakfast He had 10 cents and that was
all. He hung to the spot, however, only
leaving it to invest his only money in fruit
at a street stand near by. "While he was
eating De Bar came out and Sharpe made
known his want.
"So you want to go on the stage?" said De
Bar. "Well, come along, we'll see Davey."
And that was the beginning of the
theatrical life of Assistant Manager Sbarpe.
Sharpe got to be a prompter. A prompter ',
in those days was understudy tor every man
in the cast So it happened that one night
Sharpe played six characters iu "Richard
III." This spoke well for Sharpe's versa
tility, but it' was not creditable to the man
agement that let six men get off on the same
night.

The prisoners were walking about, ac
cording to the rules of tbe prison, in the
yard, and Vladimir suddenly noticed that
some one slipped a letter stealthily into his
hand. He looked up and noticed that
Schelm's spy, whom he considered a com
rade, made signs to him. Surprised, but
unsuspecting, he went aside from the others
into a corner, covered his eyes with his
hand so as not to betray himsel, and could
hardly suppress a cry of joy when he recog
nized Jana's handwriting.

"You were a wituess of this manifest re

"What new punishment," said the latter,

Til decide that hereafter."
Vladimer trembled with indignation when
he saw Jana's letter in Schelm's bunds.
Fortunately be remembered her anxious
prayer that be should becautlous. He tried
to calm down while Schelm read the letter
carefully. When he had finished he said to
Laniu:
"I do not comprehend what excited you

conduct that the letter contained most dan
gerous things. I suppose the part you tore
off was not any more important I should
not have punished you at all, if you had
not compelled me to do so by your disobe
dience. At all events you are not tbe most
guilty in getting this letter. The guilt lies
with him who gave you the letter. I beg
you will give me his name."
Although Vladimer was surprised at the
revisor's politeness, and at tbe same time
indignant at such a demand, he did not lose
his self-command.
"You surely cannot demand that of me,"
he replied.
"I recognize iu those words the former
Count" sneered Schelm. "You know I
don't understand a joke."
"Ann you know I do not -commit
treason."
"And you will not denounce the guilty
many
"Certainly not"
Scbelm nodded his head. "As yon like,"
he said.
Then turning to the prisoners, who stood
in a long row before him:
"Which of you handed this letter to
Colonist Vladimir?"
No one replied. The spy played his part
welh Schelm now turned" to the overseers
and jailers with the same question. No oue
answered.
"Why, this is a nice state of things," said
Schelm. "Commandant, whin the pris
oners have suffered their punishment, you
will keep them here as long again as they
have been here now. The only exception is
the Colonist Vladimir because he is inno
cent The overseers and jailers will lose
one month's salary and -'their allotment of
bran ay."
CHAPTER XXVIIL
'I send this letter to you," wrote the
Countess, "you poor martyr, not knowing

Six weeks have passed since I left Irkutsk.

Vladimir paused here a moment to say to
himself: "How well she knows bow to guess
every noble sentiment! The Governor did,
in fact, tell me all about it."
"I owe it to the admirable doctor, who
helped my impatience by all available
means, that I could make the long journey

NATURE'S GREAT BESTOKATrVE.
Quiet is an essential in. the sick room. If
it is necessary to put coal on the fire drop it
on quietly in small paper sacks. It is not
so much the noise as it is the suddenness and
unexpectedness that weaken a patient, and
especially noises accompanied with a jar.
Sleep is the physician's best auxiliary, and
in many cases of severe sickness the physi
cian will tell you not to waken the patfent
at the time appointed for giving medicine if
he be sleeping. People wakened soon after
going to sleep often find it more difficult,
through extreme weariness, to fall asleep
again. Some people are too tired to sleep,
and you may occasionally sing them to sleep
or rub them to sleep. To do either requires
skill and judgment
"The effect of music upon thasick," says
Florence Nightingale, "bas been scarcely
at all noticed. In fact its expensiveness as
it is now makes any general application of
it quite out of the question. I will only re
mark here that wind instruments, includ
ing the human voice, and stringed instru
ments, capable of continual sound, have
generally a beneficent effect, while the
pianoforte, with such instruments as have
no continuity of sound, has just the re
verse. The finest pianoforte playing will
damage tbe sick, while an air like "Home,
Sweet Home," or"Assisaa pied'nu salice,"
on the most ordinary grinding organ, will
suddenly soothe tbem and this quite inde
pendent of association."
HOW TO WAKE A PATIEKT.
When it is necessary to vaken a patient,
it is sometimes best done by quietly draw
ing the hand across the forehead a few times
and then speaking softly to him. The floor
aud tbe furniture should be examined and
made incapable of creaking before tbe room
is appropriated to the sick, the windows
wedged, if they rattle, and the door hinges
oiled or soaped if tbey creak. Someone
very thoughtfully suggests that if you are
anticipating a caller in the sick room and
the patient is sleeping, a quill leather thrust
through the keyhole may be used to inform
those outside that the patient is not to be
disturbed.

Julius Stern is a blind billiard player of
New York. Two reporters, says the New
York World, watched him make cushion
caroms aud draws and masse shots yester
day evening1 until their heads swam. One
of them, who is something of a billiard
player, tried Mr. Stern's shots with his eyes
wide open and made about one-third of
"tbem after frequent efforts.
"I've been playing billiards only since
Miy 9 of this year," he said. "I became
blind when I was 18. That was 12 yecrs
ago. I had played pool a very little before
I lost my eyes, but I knew nothing about
billiards.
"One rainy evening I found a billiard
table empty and began to punch the balls
around with a cue. After awhile I found
that I had unconsciously remembered the
location of the object ball, and without any
special effort I hit ,it that is, perhaps once
in a dozen shots or so.
"That set me thinking. Why couldn't I
hit the ball oftener? I put the object ball
in one corner of the table aud shot at it Of
course, the cushions at the corner helped
me to hit it with the cue ball. Little by
little I found that I could place the cue
ball on the right side or the left side
in hitting just as I chose. After that I
moved tbe object ball out on the 'spot'
aud hit it with a straight stroke. Then I
tried a simple carom. Ever since then I've
practiced in what little spare time I could
find. Cushion caroms puzzled me for aJong
while, but after a few hundred vain atramps
I managed tbe.ii,"
Mr. Stern played two dozen difficult Bhots
for the entertainment of his visitors. His
movements are as agile and graceful as those
of the ordinary man who can see.
rWBITTEN ron Till DISPATCH.
College commencements are ripe, and
hundreds of young men are being cast upon
the world with a ribbon-bedecked roll of
parchment in their hands. An argument
which asserts that a college education is
detrimental to business progress Is hardly
borne out by the (acts, but that young man
who imagines that a diploma lroni a second
or third, or even a first-class educational
institution will fit him for life's active
duties makes a sad mistake. A sheepskin
decorated with Litin flourishes is something
to be prized, but if endeavor terminates with
its possession life will be a sad failure,
There never was an age in tbe world's
history when practicability was so much in
the ascendency as now. This is peculiarly
a fact iu the United States. On some lines
it is to be lamented, for as poetry and senti
ment is si "ted out of life it becomes harsh
and dry. Borne people tbink American life is
too crisp and angular. But we must tako
things as tbey are. A classical edncation.wlth
out a liberal admixture of hard common sense
will not fit a man to rub against the age in
which our lot is cast That young man who
supposes his parchment can be used as a lever
to lift liim into eminence will and that he
needs a fulcrum before it can be utilized suc
cessfully. He must have experience m the
world, and too often he will and that the ful
crum costs more than the lever.
Sometimes Brings Oat Folly.
Railing against a classical education has be
come a fad n ith some people. There is a happy
middle ground on nearly every question, and
this is one of them. It is possible for a higher
education to germinate a fool, whose folly
might never have been manifested if his small
mental caliber had beeu unmolested, and his
physical being developed. This is clearly dem
onstrated by tbe lamentable Inefficiency of
many of our professional men. Bolstered into
position by influential friends, wbo have rail
roaded tbem through college on tbe "elective"
express train, tbey occupy pedestals where
tbeir folly Is exhibited most agonizingly.
A Chicago clergyman tells a good story illus
trative of this fact. A sick man sent for tbe
nearest spiritual adviser. It so bappenod that
tbe minister was a new fledgling just emerglrg
from tbe seminary. He was dudisli in tbe ex
treme. His coat was cut in true clerical style,
and bis face bore the expression or affected
literary culture. Going to the poor man's house,
be sat on the edge of a chair, toying with his
hat and stroking his downy mustache. Said
he to the dying man, after a long spell of
silence, painful alike to all:
'What induced you to send for me?"'
'You will have to speak louder," faintly re
plied tbe sufferer. "I am dull uf hearing."
"What induced you to send for mo7'retter
ateoVtbe clergyman.
'Mro use, can't hear. Wbat does he say,
Mary J" turning to his wife.
And tben with loud, shrill and stentorian
voice tbe woman replied: "He says wbat in
tbe duce did you send for him for."
Dncklnju Might be Profltnble.
It is a grave mistake to raise a child In tbe
hothouse of exclusiveness, and tben turn him
out upon a suffering world with inadequate ex
perience. In some parts of Germany the
peasants duck tbeir children in cold water to
harden them. This might be carried into effect
very profitably in tbls country in a figurative
If not a literal sense. Rich families may
venture to cultivate human exotics to feed
their fancy, but In a world of change like tbis
tbe experiment is frangbt with danger.
Among tbe aristocratic families of England,
where the law of primogeneture obtains. It be
comes necessary tor tne younger sons to earn
tbeir bread sometimes. Tbe eldest son inherits
the family name and property, and his busi
ness is to perpetuate tbe one and hold intact
the other. Tne second son goes into tbe army
or the navy, and so on through tbe professions.
If there should be a fool in tbe family, and
there very often is, he is trained for tbe church.
Occasionally, but not often, thank God, the
same rule obtains on tbis side of tbe Atlantic.

T.nch Sbonld Hare a Trade.
The old Hebrew custom, which necessitated
the learning of a trade by every male, would be
an excellent one to follow to-day. It is a
lamentable sight to look upon a threadbare
college graduate, wbo has neither money nor
occupation, but who lives upon tbe ragged edge
of respectable starvation because he bas no
cunning. All things being equal, a man would
bo a better mechanic if he were a college grad
uate, but an ordinary artisan is of inflnitelv
more value to the world than an educated
nonentity, who has no knowledge or handicraft
except a smattering of dead languages and
mystic mathematics. It would make a mau
none tbe less a gentleman to be master of some
useful mechanical art to which he could turn
his band in an emergency.
a man because he cannot unfold a sheepskin
is un-American, uumanly and unrighteous.
What Colleges Cannot Do.
There are many things that colleges cannot
do. Cornell failed to make journalists, and
abolished the course, showing great wisdom in
thus acting. Journalism is learned only in one
school, and that the academy of practical ex
perience. The exigencies of a great daily paper
like Tnx Dispatch cannot be imazinea with
in the cloisters of a college. Real education is
not gained by simulation. A college training is
a good foundation for journalism, if it is not
made too much of, but it no more flta a man for
the peculiar function of a journalist than tbe
canal boat captaincy fits a man to run an ocean
steamer, lbs writer would nut bo understood
as in any sense seeking to depreciate cbe raluo
of a careful university training. Let every boy
strive for tbe very best. We live in a country
where real mentis bound to Audits reward, but
let not our young men imagine that because
they have passed through the bands of college
professors that all wisdom resides in tbeir
minds, and tbac tbe less fortunate mortals are
of necessity inferior in intellect. Tbe posses
sion of a certificate of Graduation proves noth
ing, unless results are produced in after years.
Success to all wbo expect soon to try tbe stern
realities of life. Remember that Christianity
and learning are becoming more and more
syoonomous, and tbat tbe richest life is that
wbicb, while seeking for and acquiring the cul
ture of tbis world, neglects not to prepare for
tbe higher and nobler life, wbere disappoint
ment and defeat are unknown.

TOLSTOI'S "WIFE AND CHILD.
One Rcvrrltra Alt His Abominable Copy and

New York Yorld.i
The eldest daughter of Count Tolstoi at
tends to all his business correspondence,
and without disturbing her father sends an
swers to nearly all the personal letters.
The wife of the novelist is unremitting in
her devotion. She has a desk in the annex
of her husband library, and as soon as he
has finished the day's writing she gathers
up the scattered leaves, which collectively
maue tne worst "copy" imaginable, aud re
writes it on very white paper with very red
ink, "in order that it may be," as shesays,
"read at a glance."
This most critical of Bussians often spends
whole weeks writing chapters for his wile to
.ufj ouu ucatiuy me next morning, in a
letter about "Life," she wrote to a friend
that "the book has been written 16 times
from end to end before it pleased my h us
band." Miss Isabel Hapgood, the American lady
who bas heretolore translated Tolstoi's
novels iuto English, was the first person
outside of the Count's family to see the
prool-sheets of the "Kreutzer Sonata."
Alter reading them she sent a note to the
novelist, refusing to make the translation
and left St. Petersburg for Switzerland. '

THE SENSE OF SHELL.
Reason to Believe Its Keenness In Man Is
Belnff Lost by Disnse.
Smell is the most acute by far of tbe five
human senses. Take an ounce of musk
most powerful of scents and leave it wbere
the atmosphere is still, open on a table, lor
a year. At tbe end of that time, having for
full 12 months rendered odorons the whole
air in its neighborhood, the most delicate
scales cannot detect that it has lost a particle
in weight.
Yet the smell has been infinitely distri
buted, microscopic portions of the musk

means. The Bense has grown almost rudi

Come to think of it, what a number of our
prominent men In statecraft, theology, medi
cine, journalism, law and science are familiar
with useful occupations of tbis character.
Beaders will readily call to mind a host of
snch men. It will be a sad day for tbis country
if tbe English idea of being "in trade" pre
vails against advancement in the social scale.
A poor curate, living on 85 a week, as many of
tnem do in England, Is admitted to the thin
edge of polite society, but a well-to-do mer
chant, if he trains admission to the charmed
circle, is made to feel his position at every
touch and turn. In the tinseled "four hun
dreds" of our larger cities this British idea has
its germ. It Is hoped tbe ridicule of the press
will keep the monster down.
The Rule of Intellect.
The gospel of equality is, however, a false
one, for in a world of variety there can bo no
such thing as universal equality. It may be a
serious question as to where tbe line of bnman
superiority shall be drawn. It mil not do to
make the mark in tbe physical realm, for tbere
are men of giant physique wbo are mental im
beciles. Nor will it suffice to make tbe division
on a financial basis, for there are wealthy men
who are woefully poor in intellect. But in ask
ing tbe question have we not practically
antwered it? Mind rules over matter, and
bence it would seem tbat intellect must reign.
As a fact it does rule. Tbe great mind, which
by self-instituted laws sways the scepter of
universal power, has evidently flesnrned that
intellect shall wear the cronof superiority.
It is still an open question, however, as to bow
tbe precedency sball be maintained, aud wbere
its limitations shall terminate.
Cnito Aenlnst Talent.
In the vast army of college graduates wbo
have been launched upon the ocean of life
these few weeks past, are undoubtedly men
who will develop in intellectual power with
passing years. Upon them, will binge, to a
measured degree, the destiny of our country.
AH good men should pray that, while the age
advances with giant stride along the highway
of perpetual evolution, castu and clique may
not so predominate as to debar native talent
from enjoying its legitimate reward, fT be it
known that all men of eminence have not
graduated from collegiate Institutions. Tliero
are hundreds of massive minds ibat have been
trained in tbe uncharitable school of ruzged
experience, who have to say, "Alis, I have no
alma mater." Und speed our colleges in the
spread of knowledge, the mnst potential influ
ence as a vehicle lor virtue and Christianity,
the golden chariot whoso wbirling wheels sball
carry tbis nation to the summit of earth's possi
bilities. Tnlent Oalslilf the Alninnl.
But let us not forget that the college Is
simply, the ante room to further and far mora
advanced development. The altitude of life's
possibilities is not bounded by university walls,
nor do the most gigantic intellectual plants of
neces-ityyflnd their foil frnition beneath tbe
shades of the college campus The pinacled
monarchs of the Yosimite, whose tips full
often pierce tbe lowering clouds, are nurtured
by no other hand than mother nature. Let us
not lose sight of the lact that there are ab
normal mental growths, especially in tins won
