DAYS, cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia il
al the same time due attention is paid TO the
diet
An ill-fitting boot. too large or too small,
will rub the foot and sometimes cause acute
inflammation. A young girl had long suf-
iered from severe pain in the head, which
extended to the eyes and caused so much
distress that the eyesight became impaired.
Several physicians prescribed various treat
ment. but without success. Finally a con-
sulting physician asked TO see her boots,
which were of the most approved pattern,
pointed toes, narrow soles, high heels almost
in the middle OF the foot. "Ah," said the
doctor, here l. the cause of all your
trouble. Get pair of broad-Soled,
tiat-heeled boots, and never put on these
monstrosities again. NV word for it, in a
short time you will feel like different per-
SON. All that the doctor said was fully YER
fled. In fortnight the unfavorable symp-
toms had disappeared, and the young girl
seemed to have received new life. Three
years have passed since the sensible boots
were first worn, and during all that time
there has not been an ache or pain to dis
turb the perfect health with which the girl
is blessed
All the paint which is used to paint the
modern bedroom should be non-poisonous
the fire place should be tiled and the win
dows made with deep beading on the
window-sill. This is piece of wood like the
rest of the frame, which comes up two or
three inches in front of the lower part of the
window. The object of this is to admit of
the lower sash being raised without causing
draughti the room is thus ventilated by the
air filtering through the slight aperture be-
tween the upper and lever sashes. And
above all things, have an open fireplace in
the bedroom; abolish stoves and furnaces
from that sacred precinct. Use wood if pos
sible; if not the softest of camel coal. Have
4 l.. -
portieres III winter; these may be placed on
brackets, which may of themselves, if painted
bright red or black, or gilded, become very
ornamental.
DECORATIONS.
The following suggestions as to decoration
are offered by quite expert authority to
hOuse-builders who have reached the point
OF interior finish:
That the papering of ceilings is coming
more into favor is due in part to the elegant
designs brought out for this purpose ham
mered copper and lincrustra are now intro
duced for corners, the copper i'm shades of
gold, the other materials in c0lOrs apprOpri-
ate to their subject and contrasting with the
wall cOlors in complimentary hueS.
Venetian shades have their admirers. and
meny people are having them put up in their
houses instead of inside blinds; they admit
a free circulation of air and are thus delight
fully cool.
\ pretty fantasy is square window of
stained glass set i'm the wall and filling the
place of picture, for an east windowa love
" design would be of morning glories or
brilliant hollyhocks marshaled in line.
A narrow shelf placed over doorway and
painted to correspond with the wood work
of the room is pleasing addition.
The tendency for hall furniture seems to
be to employ wood of the color or kind pre-
vailing in the hall. Natural finish in ma
hogany, antique oak, or cherry is largely
used for hal. settees, a table, quaint corner
chair completing the furniture.
