In praieing Athens we must not

her growth in extent and affluence. The
stages of this progress 'can be seen in the

c ronologically divided into three °ate-

gardens of the better class of houses.
But Athens might and would be more
Verdant still Were it not for the lank of
abundant Water. This want was felt in
antiquity as well. To it may partly be
ascribed the epidemics recorded by an-
men as moans m times of war, when
' t la' t .' ' t'
the number of inhabitants was increased
by those of the surrounding country
seeking refuge the walls.
Antoninus Pins endowed Athens with
& perfect systena of waterworks. They
consisted of subterranean galleries, col-
lecting the waters of the iaeighboring
mountains. To these old Roman ague-
duets, successively discovered, repaired
and utilizecl,Athens still owes her scanty
supply of water. Projects for increasing
the eupply are ever talked of, etut will
be deferred so long as the municipal
finances remain no better than the 08 -Knox
tional. Meanwhile, the macadamized
or acla between the fine sidewalks are
hardly' watered. This fact and the ma-
tua of the soil, notorious for its thin-
r
ness since the days of Thuoydides, EIC-
count for the dust, which is the great-
est blemish of Athens. An English lady

On the whole, Athens will show to

Vie Smiceed. .
In arranging the siokbed the two essen
tial things to be thought of aro the COM
fort et the patient and, after that, the con
venience of the lines°.
The bedstead should be Ihre, light and
simple. If it is firm, it cannot be easily
jarred; if it is light, it can be easily
moved, and if it is simple it can be eagle
kept clean. All these requirements are
met in the plain iron bedstead, -which Mu
the additional advantage that its widtb
and height are adapteed both to the nee&
of the patient and the convenience of the
nurse.
If the bedsteadis light, it is better to haw
only the head end provided with casters;
otherveise the bed will move too easily. By
lifting the foot end off the floor the bed
can be moved and guided without causing
the patient the least discomfort.
The mattress should be sufficiently soft
and yielding to be perfectly comfortable
for the patient, but not so yielding as tc
allow his body to sink into it, It is very
difficult to make a sick person comfortable
on a sagging mattress.
Feather beds should never be used im
eases of sickness, They are encomfortable
•
for the patient, it is impossible to keel
them clean, almost of necessity they keel
the patient's body unnecessarily warm
and they are extremely ix:convenient fen
the nurse.
To prevent the mattress from becoming
soiled a good sized piece of waterproof ma.
terial - preferably a rubber blanket-
should be smoothly spread over it before
the undersheet isput on. This sheet should
be large enough to be securely tucked un
der the edges of e mattress, and the
th
greatest care should be taken to smooth
out all the creases. .
The pillows should be thoroughly aired
at least once a day, and whenever the pil
lowslip becomes soiled or damp with per.
spiration a clean one should be substitut
ed. Changing and shaking up tho pillow:
when they have become hard and mussed
is a small servIce, but very refreshing tc
the patient.
The covering for the sickbed - othei
than the top sheet -should vela. accordine
to the temperature of the room, the nature
of the sickness, the feelings of the patient
and the season of the year. Whatever these
conditione, the covering should be as lighi
as is consistent with the coinfortof the pa
tient. -Youth's Companion,

THE MODERN CAIN.

The saloon -this modern Cain -is the
depository of the rankest poisons. He
•
who iftands behind its bar deals in death.
iS a murderer of babyhood. No one
who but casually glances over the record
of crime issuing from the saloon can
doubt that it is disastrous to child life.
The saloon is a murderer of roan'mod.
It has wrecked the bodies and sent to
eternal doom the souls of thousands of
the Rower of our country.
It is the destroyer of the home, that
ancient institution of God th t little

a wonian's heart next to her God. The
saloon bas been the cause of thousands
of homes being turnedinto hells on
earth.
Here is modern Cain with this differ-
enee' tl t whereas in the olden time
la , w
Oain was reckoned an outlaw and went
stinking away when confronted with
his crime, this modern Clain is a legal -
ized murderer and carries on its Work
under sanction of law. I am profoundly
impressed with the conviction that in
the annals of time this shall bereckoned
the "mime of the ages." Ma y the voice
of the eternal God staztle us tonight
with the question, "What bast thou
done?" Two hundred thousand homes
are ender the shadow; 100,000 hearts
are broken; the cry of 500,000 wretched,
ragged children pierces the air; the
tramp, tramp,tramp 0±100,000cone
drunk-
ards yearly marching to their doom
make the earth tremble, while crimes
unmentionable are being perpetrated
upon thousands of innocent victims by
the votaries of the saloon. -Rev. J.

Some people are under the impression
that the metier a child begins to learn
music -say, at 4 or 5 years of age -the
better. It is tame the practice of an i„tru•
ment must be begun early, when ell the
Muscles of the bands and 'arms are loose
and flexible. But the bones must also have
attained a certain strength, and -the brain
should likewise be developed to a certain
extent. I would recommend that no chad
be forced to play before it has reached its
eighth year, while I would fix the twelftb
as the very latest period. . '
When a child is 8 years of age, it has
probably had two years of schooling, and
its little brain has become accustomed to
some sort of concentration and attention.
Methodical instruction on the piano co
violin may then be begun. A competent
teacher will thus be able to do incalcula-
ble good, svhile a bad teacher °Lin produce
harm in a like degree. -Exchange.
The Ideal sleeping noon:.
A bedroom may be luxurious in its ap
pointments and furnishings and yet be the
most insanitary room in the dwelling. A
heavy carpet upon the floor, trailing por
tieres and unwashable curtains, cover:
and cushions are not the ideal of dainti
ness for a room so Important as a sleepine
romn.
And, needless to say, the bed should ea
oupy the most prominent position in tla

the freshest, not pushed into a corner tc

LIQUOR AND BUSINESS.
People of a Town Don't Rave to Guzzle
Beer to Be Prosperous.
One of the highest salaried traveling
raen making Kansas was talking with
a Wichita reporter the other day of the
prohibition law of Kansas and said: "I
make all the towns in eastern Kansas
and western Missouri, and I want to
say that all this talk of prohibition
hurtiug business is all a farce. I sell
more goods and a better quality in Kan-
eMissouri, and
sas Lawns than I do in
my patrons are better pee.
"Tliey need not tell me that the peo-
1 f a town have to gnzele beer in 01-
p e oo
der to have prosperous business. When
the people of a town spend their money
for beer, they don't have so much to
spend in my line. I don't mind a glass
of beer occasionally, but I prefer to sell

Babies and Brains.

wrote: "The proximate if not the original..
cause of great mortality among American

babies is sonic malady of the brain. When
we suppose death to mint from dysentery

or cholera infantuno the immediate cause
is frequently affection of the brain super-
veiling upon bowel disease. The heads of

Profits of Saloons.
According to the sworn statement of
saloon keepers before the supreme court
of the tfnited States, the average daily
income of a saloon is $15. There are in
Cinehmati 1,770 saloons. Assuming
that each recives $15 a day, the aggre-
gate is $2,600,000 a year. How sisisch

at Wholesale for 25 cents. The saloon
keeper receives for it 80 cents, a profit
of 220 per cent. The profits on whisky
are even greater. Surely the people of
