The luxury Of New York life e ever
increasing. Here Is picture Of
house which has become famous for its
hospitality. The present mansion
represents the results Of two houses
turned into one. At the right, as one
enters is'the library. rich in bric-a-brac
and cirtained with Gobelin tapestry.
The hostess receives there in the after-
noon. Next comes little MUSHROOM
in blue and gold. containing cabinets
with choice specimens OF bric-a-brac,
and enameled clocks and watches. One
passes through this into the banquet
hall, which is rs feet square. Gobelin
tapestry lines the walls, covers the ta-
bic and borders the curtains. The
crimson plush portieres have applique
WORK composed of old Spanish saddle
bags, and are bordered with gold and
silver embroidery derived from altar
cloths. There is portrait OF the
Young daughter of the house from the
brush of Carolus Duran over the fire
place. Ancestral plate is heaped upon
q massive sideboard, and the cabinet
contains a celebrated dessert service Of
English porcelain designed expressly
from Angelica Kaufmann's most cele-
brated painting. and valued at 81, 500.
The square table seats about twenty
four guests, and, when covered with
superb varieties of roses-alWays one
| color, pink, red or yelloW-and glitter
ing with soup plates of gold repousse
work, presents brilliant sight. The
guests are seated in carved high-back
chairs, and over all is. the tender illu-
nlination that comes from silver candle
labra and lamps shaded in pale blue
and rose color. Six servants wait at
the table Superb bouquets of pink
roses tied with pink satin ribbons and
such substantial souvenirs as vinaig-
rettes and bon bonniers are given every
| lady.
The dinner-room opens on the left
into a billiard-room, where there are
some excellent pictures and thence
one energies into large, square hall,
which extends to the top of the house.
Here the Hungarian band is stationed
throughout dinner. The hall has an
enormous fireplace, chairs covered with
old petit point tapestry, and, for decor
alton, number of stag heads, shot by
| the host on his Scotch moors, north of
| Iverness. This estate costs $15, 600 q
year, comprises $4,000 acres. and COW
ers territory of nine miles. From
the roof to the hall swings a lantern,
suspended by a-wreught steel chain.
The stairway is of carved oak, and
would do credit to an old English
manor house. The ballroom, which
opens into the hall, is a large. square
apartment, fitted up in the Louis
Treize. The walls are in white and
gold, panels Of cupids, painted by
some French artist, adorn the ceiling,
and the gilt furniture is covered with
crimson md gold velvet broeade. The
onyx tables, mounted in ormolu, are
superb The room is lighted with
candles, and it is here that the aniable
hostess received her guests. Tic por-
there's are of altar cloths, purchased
abroad, and remarkable for their old
Spanish and Italian cmbroideries.

The Coutagion of Scarlet Fever

In 1862 case occurred in New
York boarding house. As soon as the
child was able to be moved it was
taken away, and the rooms occupied
by the family were thoroughly cleansed.
In three days afterward another family
moved into the same apartments, and
in two days child belonging to the
latter was taken with the disease. DIR,
Flint then related the case of Miss G.,
the daughter of deceased New York
physician. who had been well-known
and highly esteemed in the community.
Having entered the Protestant sister,
hood of St. Barnabas, she was called
upon to nurse a child suffering from
scarlet fever; and after she had finish
ed her attendance on the child, she
hung up her clothing to air for several
weeks. She then gave away the waist
of the dress that she had worn, and
put the skirt away in trunk. 1t was
in February. 1870. that she hursed the
scarlet fever patient. being in attend
ance for ten days. In January, 1871,
she wore the skirt for the first time,
and one week afterward was herself
attacked with acute diffused nephritis
and pulmonary 9dema. which proved
fatal The lesson of these cases. there

The Best Bed.

Of the eight pounds which mar
eats and drinks during the day, it is es
timated that no less than five pounds
leaves the body through the skin. AnC
of these five pounds considerable es
capes during the night. This, being s
greater part gaseous in form. perme.
ates every part of the bed. Thus al
parts of the bed-mattress, blankets,
as we'll as sheets-sooG become foul,
and need publication.
The mattress needs this renovation
quite as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used with
out washing or changing for three
or six months would be regarded
as bad housekeeping; but insist. if a
thin sheet can absorb enough of the
poisonous excretions of the body to
make it unfit for use in few days, q
thick mattress which can absorb and
retain thousand times rs much of
these poisonous exhalations, needs to
be purified as often certainly as once
in three months. A sheet can be wash
ed. A mattress cannot be renovated
in that way. Indeed, there is no other
way of cleaning mattress but by
steaming it or picking it to pieces, and
thus in fragments exposing it to the di-
rect rays of the sun. As these pro-
cesses are scarcely practicable with
any of the ordinary mattresses, am
decidedly of the opinion that the good,
old fashioned straw bed, which can ev-
cry three months be exchanged for
fresh straw. and the tick washed, is the
sweetest Of beds. Ifih the winter sea-
son the porousness of the straw bed
makes it q little uncomfortable
spread over it two wooden blankets,
which should be washed. With this
arrangement. if you wash all the bed
covering often, you will have sweet,
healthfnl bed.
Now. if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the night before evening,
you will have added greatly to the
sweetness of your rest, and, in conse-
quence, to the tone of your health.
| heartily wish this good change
could be everywhere introduced. Only
those who have attended TO this inn
portant matter can judge of its intlu-
snce on the general health and spirits.

A Cure for DiDhtheria.

DR.. Delthil. n French physician, says that
sure cure for any ordinary case of diph-
liberia is to utilize the vapors Of liquid tar
and turpentine 10 40 to dissolve the fbrinous
exudations that choke up the throat and
lead to such fatal results in that dreaded
disease. DIR. Delthil's process is simply
this: He pours equal parts Of turpentine
and liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air Of the
room. The patient" DR.. Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience relief;
the choking and rattle stop; the patient falls
into q slumber, and seems to inhale the
smoke with pleasure. The 6brinous men,
brane soon becomes detached, and the pa
tent coughs up microbicides. These, when
caught in glass, may be seen to dissolve
in the smoke In the course of three days
afterward the ",,tS1t entirely RECEIVERS
histree,mcsr iihs been tested in New York
recently, and with gratifying results. 1t is
based on the theory that diphtheria is due
to the rapid multiplication Of living fungi.
which are killed by the fumes of the tar
and turpentlne. Indeed, all successful
treatment OF diphtheria is by the use Of
medicines which destroy low forms of in
sect life. Democrats Monthly for July.
