LIFE'S WEST IVINDOWS.
We stand at life's west windows.
And think of the years that halie gone';
Remembering the coming sunset,
, We too must remember the morn ;
But the sun will set, the day iwill close, •
And an end will come to all our woes.
.As we watched from the western casements,
ileviewing our happy - youth,
We mourn for its vanishtt promise
Of honor, ambition, and truth ;
Bitt hopes will fail, and pride decay,
When we think low soon we must away.
. ,
We stand at life's west windows, •
And turn riot sadly away. -
To watch on our children's faces .
The noontide of sparkling day;
But our . sun must set, our lips grow dumbi...
And to look from our windows our . Children
come.
• Still looking from lile's west windows,
- And we know - we would not again ,
Look forth fkom the eastern latttce,
• And live over all life's pain ;
Though life's sundae be brilliant, its sunset is
Since it brings longed•for rest to our weary
feet.
A MODEL" ROOM.
From the Nets York Worlcl.—Prof. A. B.
Crosby,- , 'of Bellevue Hospital, New York, de-
livered a lecture on "The Model Sick.Roorn,":at
Ceoper Union, recently. He said :
rshall speak ot,' the model sick room as we
may hope to set up in - any`ordidary house.
It should be large, airy, well lighted, and as far
removed, from the rooms ordinarily occupied
by the family as possible. Ire a great city, or
• in the ceuntry, if the region be malarial, it is
better located , in the upper than the lower por
tion ot the house. The temperature •of the.
sack room , should range from 630.70 degrees,
not determined' by the sensations of the nurse,
but by a thermometer, by which this matter is
to be frequently regulated. • -
The walls and ceiling of the sick room should
'present a soft, uniform,ueutral color or tiut,as a
very delicate shade of 'green, or French'gray,
or plum. The, soft monotony of such a wall,
with nothing salient for the eye to rest, upon,
tends to repose, and what Thackeray termed
"healthy stupidity." These glaring wall-papers
the figures . on wbich are .apparently
made in the likeness of nothing "in heavens
above, nor In the earth beneath; nor in the
. waters under the earth," should be absolutely
prohibited. The eyes of the sick wande r
over such dreadful figures, 'distorting
them into weird forms that favor delirium.
The ffoor of the sick room' should never be
covered._ by; a carpet. All w,oolen stuffs easily
become infected, and may retain the germs of
disease indefinitely. A hard wood floor, oiled
and varnished, with 'no crevices lor the ac
cumulation of morbific matter, is best. Such ft
&or tnay ba covered with mats or rugs—at
•
least, over such parts of it as the attendants
have occasion to traverse. These can be.quiet
ly taken out ot_ the room each morning, and
thoroughly.whipped, ventilated, and returned.
The floor meantime can be brushed gently and
wiped with a damp rag, so as to insure abso-
lute'cleanliness without annoyance to the pa
tient. , •
The windows, of which there should be at
least two in every sick roam (the more the bet
ter,) also require attention. Ail full curtains,
lambrequins or other drapery about the win
dows should be interdicted. Nothing should
be tolerated but a single shade, haying a neutral
tint similar to that on the wall. We should
not forget that light is one of the most health
, . ful of . the natural' stimuli, and the sick are not
to be incarcerated in dungeons. neither .
healthy men or robust cabbages can be grown
in dark cellars. The light 'of the sick room,
then, may be tempered, but -the apartment
should'not be essentially darkened.
The aphorism that "cleanliness is next to
godliness" is nowhere more imperative than in
the sick room. Cleanliness -absolutely eaten
ed will stamp out any infectious disease, and
mitigate all , diseases to a marked ,degree. In
..enfOrcing cleanliness in the sick room we must
look to the patient's body, the nurse and all
utensils, vessels, etc. In the model sick room
there should be two narrow beds of equal
height on easily rolling castors, having hair
mattresses, low¢ . headboards and absolutely free
from all abominations in ' the way of canopies.
The patient may thus have a fresh bed for the
' nikht and another fora morning. In the morn
ing the freshly made bed covered with one ,
sheet can be trundled uplo the bed which has
been ' occupied during the night.and the patient
can be easily slid on the same level on a delic
iously fresh bed. -The mattress and bedding of
the bed vacated can be rolled up, quietly taken
hato:an adjoining room, where with open•
dows they can be shaken, thoroughly ventilat
e&during the day und • be ready for the night.
• Sometimes when patients are greatly, exhaust
. ed, or after severe surgical operations, - it may
tie dangerous to bring them into a sitting 1)04-
' tion, but they may be safely and easily moved
it tie body is kept \horizontal in the tblloWing
stijimer . Place, the head of one beadstead
the of the other ; havin procu'red
tin o hard wood poles six feet, long and one and
a half, inches in -diatheter, place one - on each
side of the patient near the edge of the sheet
on which he rests, and , roll them firmly into
the sheet to within six inches of the patient's
• body. - Two persons should stand on each side,
of the bed, facing the two on the other side,
and grasping.the poles firmly with both hands,
separated about 18 inches apart, they should
'Ant pull firmly, against each other until the
abed on .which - the . patient hes is converted
trite tti Strecker ;-- then continue to pult'anfilift
::* tbAbody horizontally and Moving down
rip'4t4gether deposit' ~the-patient
op the fresh -. bed without 'danger or suffering.
The sheet on which he has been moved can be
readily_ slipped out from beneath the- body.
Without reference to bedding, at least one sheet
should be
,chariged every, day, and both if they
are palpably stained or soled.
The
The cleanliness - of the patient's• body is to be
insured by frequent changing of the bed, 'dress
arid bathing. Where there is a general fever
thebody may be sponged over with water rang
ing from 100 to 110 degrees, the surface being
left,s,lightly Warmth of the water, plus
the warmth of the body, will insure rapid evap
oration: and that always produces cold—and
reduces fever. This may be repeated as often
as the patient becomes hot, it it be twenty
times 'a
day. When fever subsides, especially
if the patient is exhausted, an occasional
- sponge bath, consisting of one part of brandy
or alCohol and three parts of water ; will in
sure cleanliness without. debilitating the pa
tient. -
Finally, a few words may be said in regard
to the filet of the siek. The aphorism that
"God sends. the food, and:-the „devil sends the
cook" is doubly true , in the average sickroom.
In acute diseases; for the 'first day or two it is
not essential that the patient should have much
autriment: During this period India 4 gruel;
all the meal being strained out and well salted,
is not objectional: Very weak breakfiiiit tea,
with considerable
,milk. (even though "scandal
hot") is very safe, especially for ladies. But a .
Man should not be: starved . simplY because he
is sick, but during:the acute 'stage of any disc
ease the 'nutriment be, given hi a fluid
form. Perhaps the best article of diet for the
. sick is milk. Here we have a sPlendidly.elabor
ate food, containing ail' the eleniOtOictiessary
for nutrition instui ~ e xtremely and easily
digestible form'. I know of no disease in ;which
milk may may s not be given, and themajor
ity of cases, freely iced or otherwise. Com
paratively early, too, animal food in the form
of beet tea or beef extract may be resorted to.

NEW RAILWAY ALARM • SIqNIAL:
• Am imProved alarm signal, for the preven
thm of collisions on railways, Is .among the.
recent English inventions - deserving of notice.
The apparatus consists of, a tube to be fixed
along the up and down line, terminating at
each station, air pumpaand alarm whistles; or
similar appliances, being fixed on the tubes at
equal' distance frorii each other. Thus, vhen
a train breaks down on the line, .or is overdue
and compelled to shunt to let another train
pass, any of the officials, by Working`the near
est pump—which forces ail through the tubes
to the • whistles:—can giVe an alarm, to the
drivers of the approaching trains either up •or
down the line, and at any distance between the
stations, in this way enabling theu - to stop, the
train and prevent accident . .. Stop valves are
fixed in the tubes, so that if desired, ; one sta
tion only can be communicated with ; the
pumps, too, may be protected with iron cases,
those running the train being provided with a
key tor access to,them. . •
THE CROWER.
Until near the middle of the fast century '
there was an officer of the court of England
styled "the king's cock grower," whose duty it
.was during the . whole of Lent to crow instead
of cry, as watchmen did, the hour. , The in
tention of crowing the hour seems to have
been to remind, sinners, of the effect of the
third crow of the cock on Peter. The first Ash
Wednesd .y George 11., then Prince of Wales
passing in. England, on his sitting down to
supper, a person advanced before the chaplain
said grace, and crowded "past ten o'clock."
The astonished prince mistook the ceremony
for au insult, and was about to rise - from the
table in a rage, but he was informed that what
he misconstrued as an affront was nothing but
an act of etiquette practised from the time of
the Tudors to that of the Stuarts. This absurd
practice was long since discontinued.
A clergyman recently aroused his sleepy au
dience by asserting in the most positive manner
that, "notwithstanding
,the ' hard times, the
wagei of sin had not been cut down one iota."
Happiness generally depends more on the
opinion we have of things than on the things
themselves.
