cents-Tempt tho Appetite.
The convalescent state in the case of many
diseases is Of as great Importance as the period
of the actual disease. In recovery from diph-
liberia, for instance, the action of the heart Is
weakened, and any Overexertion causing too
great strain upon it may prove fatal After
yellow fever solid food taken too early or ex-
e,tion before the patient has had time to re-
cuperate is often attended with relapse And
in yellow fever relapse usually means death
A chill after scarlet fever may also bring on
a relause, and imprudence in eating in con-
valescence after typhoid fever may cause
perforation of the intestines and speedy death.
Solid food should not lie given the patient
except when directed 10y the attending physi-
Cian 4 convaleScent'S diet should be digest

after typhoid fever, when the appetite should
be suppressed In convalescence the meals

but the appetite is usually SO delicate and SO

be covered with a snowy napkin; the teacup
should be of the prettieSt china, and the
viandS daintily arranged on the plates, and
not in too large quantities. BY this means
the appetite is first tempted indirectly through
the eye.
As soon as it can be done with safety, the
patient should return to three meals n day.
This gives time for the food to be diSCStet
without overtaxing the stomach. Some light
food should be given the last thing ut night.

waking or exhaustion in the morning. Above
all things, Il COnvaeSccnt should never be re-
quired to wait for food when it is needed. If
there must be delay i'll preparing meal, a
biscuit or a glass of milk should be given
while waiting.
When the patient is sufficiently recovered
to take a stronger diet than milk and beef
tea, well baked, mealy potato may lie
given. 1t should be thoroughly cooked,
mashed smoothly, sprinkled with salt and
served with hot cream poured over it. Some
physicians recommend fish III the early
stages of commissioners. Oysters are easily
digeStcd and are good cOnvaleScent food.
They may lie prepared in any way except
fried. Juicy, tender beef steak or mutton
chops with the superfluouS fat removed,

when the patient is ready for them. Neget-

little at first, and if there are no bad results
the quantity may be increased.

Mans Evening Dress.

Many men who are the salt Of the earth
don't know exactly what to do In evening
dress or when it is to be worn, or what kind
Of a necktie to wear. In England evening
dress Is proper everywhere, even at home,
after D. M. In America, where this costume
is often called "dresS suit" the question Is
not so easy. In broad, general way, In this
country, evening dress is proper on all swell
occasions at night, at dinner and supper
parties and banquets, at parties and in the
boxes and front rows at the opera. The New
York Tribune has some further hints on the
subject which may be useful 1t may be
mentioned that shirts TO wear with n dress
suit are specially made. They are open in
front to display the modest white or tiny
gold studs that are worn, and they have the
collar and cuffs made fast TO them. The
Tribune remarks:
Don't wear q shirt open behind. This
crime cannot be concealed. Have your col
lars and cuffs on your shirt or stay at home
Don't wear low hat with evening dress or
q Prince Albert coat; nor n high hat with q
sack coat Die first.
Don't wear your watch chain TO show with
evening dress. Pawn it first.
Don't wear n white or black silk or satin tie
with evening dress. White lawn, about three
quarters of an inch wide, tied by yourself, Is
the correct thing.

GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sIug,
The evening romp Is over,
And up the nursery steps they climb,
With Gttle buLzinc Tongues that chime
Like ices among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Ae full Of crOwding fancieS,
From song and tale and make believe
A Wondrous web Of dreams they weave
And airy child romaBces
The starry night Is fair without.
The new moon rises slowly.
The nursery lamp is burning faint,
Each white robcd, like little saint,
Their prayers they murmur loWly.
Good night, The tired beads ere SIN
On pillows soft nepOsing,
The dim and dizzy mists Of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Good night! Their tired heads are stIIl,
On pillows soft reposing.
Good night! While through the silent air
The mOonbeams pale are streaming.
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
BLOW out the light and shut the door,
And leave them 10 their dreaming

Water and Digestion.

The old medical theory that water taken
with food "diIutcs the gastric juice and hence
its power to disintegratc the solid food" is

claimed that solid food needs a liquid for aid,

when dissolved, and for facilitating its
assimilation when ready for absorption by
the body. 1t is also declared that water pro,
