til. task was always a strain both upon the
si.A ;s..d those in charge of ;hrtn. She saw
and ,rntrive,l n way in which to help The
sick to help themselves and it il very simple
and effective.
Two iron sockets ore attached firmly to the
sides of bedstead by screws, and into these
arc fitted short poles, and between tho poles

clamps, and adjustable TO any height above
the head Of the patient lying on the bed.
From this bar hang lair OF strong straps
with grips, and these can be moved from
right to lett at will. by grnsping these straps
the sick man can utilize the strength of the
arms to lift himself up, to change his posi-
tion, to turn over and to allow the b.d,ling
to bc changed

Irishmen drink whisky. In this country
every state has its own particular style of

Pennsylvania calls for Monongahela, the
kentuckian sticks to bourbon and it is almost
certain death to offer man from Florida or

men, you know, take applejack in preference
to anything else, while Delawarians must
have peach brandy and honey. Men from
Missouri, as rule, are great whisky drink

Louisiana, Tennessee and other southern
states send us great fancy drinkers. The

Strict cleanliness is the principal thing to

customary with some. This practice i'll

Germs, your successes, Your possessions, in
simply what interests you. However delight
full all these may be, it is an otfcnse to his
individuality to insist that he shall admire

that he shall adapt himself to you, How

Care of the Baby.

Every baby, of course, needs to be washed
ull over in warm water once day: Tut this
diurnal bath is positively hurtful unless it is
accompanied by n good honest rubbing.
Now rubbing Is thing very few persons
understand, although it is such M indislens-
able part of tho daily toilet. To rub an ill.,
FAINT properly requires great tenderness aid
care. All such rubbing should be with IL Cir
cular movement of tho palm Of the hand,
and should be rapid, but with very little
pressure. Above all, the solcs OF the feet
should be thoroughly rubbed in this way,
gently AMI quickly, for ut least two minutes
This promotes circulation and sends the blood
flowing through the tiny heart. In like man.
ner the little hands should not he chafe,l up
and down or squeezed, but the palms should
bc treated in tho same circular way.

attention to an infants feet than to its hands
They would not think of leaving it without
socks, even with its feet fastened up in q

zero they will let it flourish two little red
