many large, fine brick blocks, that would
do credit TO any OF our eastern cities of

DEAR SIR send you herewith sam.

Such letters cannot fail to bring good
to Fort Worth, and il sucn letters result
from such receptions, the receptions

To change the coverings over the patient
without exposure, Journal of Health recon-
mends to first free them at the foot Of the
beds, spread the clean sheet over them, and
cover with blanket These should be well
tucked In at the sides, and then the soiled
clothing can be drawn down and removed at
the foot.
The same journal says that the rule never
to awaken patient to administer food or
medicines, while very sensible one, admits
still of several exceptions. There are cases
where regularity must be observed, even at
the expense of sleep. In certain acute dis
eases, among them pneumonia, the stimulant
and supportive treatment must be continu-
Gus, and the system constantly under its ia
fiuenoe. In such cases, If too long an interval
were allowed, fatal depression might ensue

Healshful Eomes--Deviees That Overcome
Insomnia--Hints to Nurses.
A Journal of building has the following to
Iay in regard to sanitary points that should
be considered when selecting house or a
site for a new one;
Remember that where the sun will
shine on the house for some hours a day
one element of good is secured, especially il
the sunshine enters at the windows of the
living rooms or rooms most used during the
daytime. II the ground is at all porous,
layer of concrete not less than six inches
thick, and composed of cement or lime
and broken bricks or gravel, should be spread
over the whole of the ground covered by the
building. This will prevent the passage OF
ground air up through the floors, Air will
travel through the ground for some dis
tance, and as it invariably becomes contain
mated by taking up carbonic acid gas In its
passage 1t is not suitable for inhaling. The
house acts as a sucker en- the ground, and II,
unfortunately, the site is on ''maden ground
that is, composed of all the refuse Of town
the ground air becomes the medium Of
disease. No houses should be built without
well ventilated air space between the earth
and the ground floor, especially if the layer
Of concrete on the surface is omitted. The
walls should be built of good hard burnt
bricks or non-porous stones set in lime or
cement mortar. Common under burnt
bricks or porous stones hold moisture which
evaporates with the rise in temperature, and
so chills the air in the house.
The foundations of the walls should rest on
thick beds Of concrete bedded in the earth
and to prevent the ground damp rising ur
the walls, damp proof course of states in
cement, or a bed of asphalt should be laid In
| the full thickness or width of the wall just
above the ground line. Dryness in thii
climate is so essential to health that any
building which in its floors, walls, or rooi
sins by admitting moisture, should be re
jected as place of residence by those who
value their health.

II gentleman asks to be presented TO a

pleasant way and pay her hostess, through
whom the request comes, the compliment OF

times little lacking in cordiality, often re-
solving a new acquaintance with that part os

worse, and an overwhelming and patronizing
manner is atrocious. The proper salutation

Prevention of sleeplessness.

Among devices found to control insomnia,

The sound of water dropping slowly and
steadily into pan occupies and quiets the
brain. This is the principle on which we are
told to count sheep going over fence, and
do any sort Of automatic thinking, if such an
expression be permissible. A former victim
Of insomnia cured himself by keeping the
syeballs looking down. Another kept rolling
them in one direction with good effect, re-
peating, meanwhile, certain work or num-

expirations by the nostrils, conceiving the
air as currents, has been found effectual
All intellectual exercise should be stopped

Of water, taken during sleeplessnesss, will
often help to overcome it.
