What Every House Needs.

One of the worst faults of our very faulty modern architecture, as applied to houses, is found in the fact that our architects do not take into their plans the possibilities of sickness ill the family. Now, no house is properly constructed that has not in 1t a room or rooms express ly designed for the accommodation of the 1nfirm and the sick. Fms room should, in the first place, have warm, sunny exposure. The window light should be ample and command the widest possible v1ew. The first essential in a sick room is good, liberal fireplace. Through it, and by the means of the warmth which 1t generates, the whole room is kept, in it's atmospheric conditions, wholesome and pure. Not only so, but @ slow burning fire, with its lights and shades, it's rising sparks and glowing brands, its curling and many colored smoke and its changeful embers, furnishes ceaseless diversion to the sick one who lies watch ing it. Nothing is more soothing and quieting than the influence which subtly
 
 dreamily into the gentle flame. It is companionship in itself The walls, too, should have their proper adornment. Pictures that suggest quiet and peace and the free, fresh life of nature outside should be on them. A bracket, with it's vase of flowers; a green, clambering vine, clinging ambitiously to the ceiling i; a library case filled with familiar books i; curtains that soften the light while ad- mitting it-all these are helpful to one that lies in weakness and can take no more of life than the little room reveals. Better still, if just outside the window stands tree, with the branches so placed that the leaves of some almost sweep the pane. How much the sight of twigs, buds and leaves, stirred by the winds and tlecked with bright gleams of the sun, can cheer the mind of one who lies upon the pillow idly looking at them. The central thought expressed in we'll constructed sick room is-diversion. The object of its construction and loca- tion should be to give perfect accommo- dation and protection to the invalid, while at the same time it suggests the beauty and the freedom of being uncon- fned-the life and animation of the great outdoor world beyond. Golden Rule. Sir Garnett Wolseley, the noted English General says, that England can put 400, GOO drilled men into the field.

NOCTURNE.

The silent world is sleeping,
 And spirits hover nigh, With downward pinions keeping Our love from mortal eye, Nor any earth of Earth can hear The heart beat high and note the sigh. Now no more the twilight bird Showers his triple note around; In the dewy paths is heard
 No rude footballs sound. In the stiffness wait
 Thy coming late, In the dusk would lay my heart Close to thine own, and say how dear thou art O life! O rarest hour! When the dark world onward rolls, And the fiery planets drift, Then from our commingled souls Clouds of passion and of power, Flames of incense, lift Come, for the world is turning To meet the morning star! Answer my spirits yearning And seek the arms that call thee from afar; Let them close-ah let them close Around thee now, and lure thee to repose.

STUCK IN THE MUD.-Iowa and Mis- souri have suffered millions of dollars of loss through the mud blockade which since early fall has rendered the roads impossible, and which just now is worse than ever There is business enough waiting for chance to move. Last sea- sons abundant crops are ready for ship ment, but they cannot be hauled from barns. Yet the outlook is reported as good. Winter wheat promises most excellent yield, and a few weeks of hard roads must send an abundance of grain to market.
