"DONT WORRY THE' PATIENT"
Soma Reasons Why Visiting the
Sick Calls to Track and
. Judgment
Visiting the sick is undoubtedly an
art To know just when to go, how
long to stay and . just what to say
while there requires tact and judg
ment as well as common sense.
The first thing to consider in visit
ing a sick friend is the selection of a
seasonable hour. There is of neces
sity more or less routine about the
life within a sick room, and the visit'
should be timed with reference to
that and not merely at the caller's
convenience. '-
Daring the middle of the day most
invalids-are at their best and better
able to enjoy seeing their friends
than at other times. As a rule neith
er early morning nor late evening is
favorable for visitors, as few invalids
care to receive their friends until
after their rooms have been freshly
aired and set in order for the day, the
daily bath and toilet completed and
the doctor's visit over. .
All this takes time, and not only
does it absorb the entire attention of
both nurse and patient, but frequent
ly the latter is somewhat tired, and a
short rest is advisable.
Of course, under special circum
stances an evening call is allowable,
but it is never wise to choose this
time unless one has permission from
the nurse Or doctor. The patient is
generally so tired by nightfall that in
order to secure a good night's rest he
or she should be kept from any undue
excitement after, the evening meal.
As to the lensth of one's stav. some
people unfortunately never seem to
know when to go, but stay on and on
interminably. As a rule from fifteen
to twenty minutes is a sufficiently
long period for the visit to last; it is
far better to so while the welcome
lasts than to outstay that limit. If
the visitor is wise she will not allow
herself to be influenced bv entreaties
to remain longer or to prolong her
call by the invalid's protestations that
sue is not at all tired." '
But more important than all else
in visiting the sick is the atmosphere
one diffuses, consciously or other
wise. The conversation and manner,
the expression and even the tone of
the voice are all absorbed and have

ADVANCE SLOW AND ORDERLY
Developments in the Electrical Field
and the Prospects of
f the Future. -Dr.
Charles P. Steinmetz of Phila
delphia, the man who, with the excep
tion of Thomas A. Edison, is con
sidered more familiar with the pos
sibilities of electrictv than anv other
man in the world, looks for no start
ling development or discoveries in
the electrical field in the near fu
ture. "It must be remembered that elec
trical development is stow and' order
ly," he said, when asked whether there
were any inventions now under way
that might have a revolutionizing ef
fect upon commerce, home life or the
industrial world.
"I know of no such inventions or
project at present," he continued, "nor
do I contemplate any. Understand,
I do not mean that electricity has
reached the limit of its development,
not in sny sense of the word. What
I mean is that neither you nor I can
look into the future and see what is
to come.
"Despite the general opinion of the
laymen, there is practically nothing
new in the electrical field. Improve
ments and developments along these
lines are the work of years. Although
something may appear suddenly on
the market that is of great commercial
value, it is merely an improvement
of some principle that has already
been in operation. At present there
are experiments being conducted in
many laboratories throughout the
country, but as yet it is impossible
to foretell their commercial value.
Virtually all these experiments, how
ever, are being conducted not with
the hope of discovering some new
possibility of electricity, but with the
hope of improving some already es
tablished line, such as lighting and
the transmission of power.
"There are many who advertise its
cure-alt properties," he said, "but per
sons of this character are generally
'quacks.' In fact, it is upon this ac
count that reputable physicians make
little use of it. In the treatment of
diseases for which it has been pre
scribed, 1 doubt that it can accom
plish any more than the use of drugs."

When the Animals Speak
The Turkey Gobbler
' By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
"I detest that ridiculous, ostenta
tious Asiatic always showing off his
absurd feathers," said a turkey-cock,
or 'gobbler,' indicating to his rather
plain-looking wife a superb peacock
which had just spread its many-eyed
and gloriously iridescent fan on the
other side of the barnyard. "I'm an
American, I am, all through, and I
don't like imported trash anyhow, but
I simply can't stand it when a silly,
alien fellow like that begins to put on
airs and display his fine clothes. And
just listen' to his voice; did you ever
hear such an effeminate "squeak?"
The peacock, scenting rain afar off
in the atmosphere, had uttered his
shrill of warning, in accord with the
instincts of his Oriental race, and the
sound proved to be even more provo
cative to the gobbler than the spec
tacle of the prismatic tail. In a mo
ment two or three little, round-shouldered,
speckle-gowned, Quakerish
looking dames suronnded the peacock
and plainly admired him. This in
creased the vexation of the turkey
cock. "What, fools women are I" he ex
claimed. (He meant turkey women,
of course.) "A little glitter and a
proud strut are enough to set their
heads awhirl."
"But I think he is really very hand
some," said the hen turkey.
"Handsome 1" cried the srobbler,
"You call that thing handsome! I've

ing, strutting coward, right before his
own harem!
The gobbler thereupon spread his
own tail, swelled his tufted chest
prodigiously, puffed out his fiery-red
combs and wattles until they glowed
like bunches of carbuncles, and con
tinued to swell and swell, looking as
if he would burst at any moment. At
last he did, apparently, blow up. with
a hoarse "s-t-t-u-r-t I" which seemed
to scatter the shrapnel of hatred and
defiance all about him.
Then he uttered a terrifying "gob-
ble-gobble-gobble," and, lowering his
tail and his head, rushed straight at
the peacock, who at the sight of this
sudden apparition of oncoming war,
dropped his magnificent fan upon the
ground, shrunk into a little mottled
body dragging a train at his heels and
fled for his life, with the hens affright-
euiy lonowing.
Tnerel exclaimed the gobbler,
suddenly recovering his good nature.
"Now. vou see what ostentation is: it's
only wind; there's nothing in it." '
Whereupon he again spread nis tail,
swelled his chest, burst out with a
charge of compressed pride this time,
and cut a circle with his wing around
his family, the entire membership of
which had now assembled to watch
him.
The Master Appears.
At this moment the master of the
barnyard apeared on the scene. He
had witnessed the episode, and he
happened to be one of those rare men
that possess the secret of the Arabian
farmer, who had learned the language
of his fowls and CJttle as well as ot
his horses and dogs. The turkey cock
lowered his tail and affected to be
very busy hunting for grains of corn.
cut the master went straight to mm.
'50 you are setting yourself up as
a censor of maners," he said to the
gobbler. "You would better first look
to your own."
Hut that toreigner s insolent os
tentation is intolerable." replied the
gobbler. "I never saw such a stuck
up rascal."
"If you had looked at yourself in
the watering trough just now," re
turned the master, "you might have
discovered equal ostentation in your
own appearance. You are just as
proud and as full of vanity as the pea
cock. It runs in your family."
My family! exclaimed the gobbler.
"What's my family got to do with that

he said, "and although your native

Scoffs at the Peacock.
prince, flashing with jewels, and with
a pedigree as long as his tail, while
you are a Caribbean cacique, with
your tufts and your flaming neau
dress, and your less civilized ways.
You have not got the wilderness out
M your blood yet, Mr. Turkey-coc.
You and your entire brood would go
and roost in the forest and hunt your
living if I let you out of the yard.
"Why don't you let us out, then?
asked the gobbler. "Then we wouldn t
cost you anything for keep."
"And we'd have nothing for
Thanksgiving," returned the master,
with a grin. ' .
The gobbler understood him,, and
his wattles turned a deeper shade or
red. He detested the word Thanks
giving. It was another sore subject
for him.
"Why don't you eat the peacock?
he demanded. "If he's mere civilized
than I am he ought to be better eat
ing." The master paused a moment,
thinking, before he answered. Then
he said, speaking to himself:
"There's something in that idea of
the gobbler's. Peacocks used to fetch
fabulous prices as luxuries for the
tables of wealthy Athenians and
Romans in the old days when the
birds were not mucTi known outside
their native forests of India and Cey
lon. I really think I'll try it next '
Thanksgiving and save the turkey for
Christmas. What a tine tning to ot
ter my friends a dish of peacock's
tongues, as Lucullus used to do in
Koine. It would be thj. sensation of
the season!"
But he said nothing of this to the
gobbler, who might, possibly, have
turned the ostentation argument
against his master. All the explana
tion that the turkey beard was:
"The peacock was sacred to the
goddess Juno, the wife of Jove, who
gave him the beautiful eyes in his tail
as a reward for the watch that he
kept upon her husband. So I keep
him as a curiosity, and not to eat. He
is like my wife's bonnet astonishing
to look at, but of doubtful utility, ex
cept as an indicator of rain."
