THE FAMILY DOCTOR.
Beds for the Sick.Room.

Two narrow beds (iron bedsteads) with fresh hair orE straw mattresses are the best. These beds are easily moved, and thus the patient will not be com pelled to look constantly at the same cracks in the wall, or count the same three spots in the corner. You can move him, now in shaded co1rer, now the western window, to see the ss,u go down, again in front of the fire, that he may look at it's cheerful blaze. and anon into the most secluded cor1er, that he may rest and sleep. All th1s is an immense gain, and is sure not only to comfort the prisoner, but to shorten his sickness. The best way to manage is to have two beds, and lift the patient from one to the other. When the bed which has been in use from four to six hours is released, the mattress and blankets should be put where they can be thoroughly aired, and, if practica- ble, stunned. This will not only shorten and mitigate the graver stages of the malady, but it will greatly hasten the convalescence.

The following statistics of the work of United States fishermen are taken from the report of G. Brown Goode, special agent of the fishery division of the United States census bureau, for the year 1879:
 In the eight States bordering on the great northern lakes, including Penn sylvania, which has a comparatively limited lake frontage, there were 5,05O fishermen and 1,656 vessels. boats and steam tugs engaged in taking fish. The value of these vessels, etc., was $266, 900, and the total value of all apparatus and accessories was $1,345,975
 Of the eight States, Michigan stands at the head as regards number of men, and Ohio in the value of investments, the latter being $233, 600; the total fishing properties of the eight being valued at $497, 400 in 1879.
 Michigan, notwithstanding the less value of her investments, stands fal ahead in the value of fish taken. O. the total, which was $1, 300, he1 share was $711, ,695; the next being Ohio, at $355, ,OOO.
