Art in the Sick-rOOm.

DR.. Richardson III the Ascepiad.
Too little attention is paid to what may very
properly be called art in the sick-room. In
these modern days we do not confne to their
rooms people who are sick for the long periods
common to an age Of medicine which has now
nearly passed away. But even at the present
time we require to practice more artistic care
A sick-room should always be as agreeable to
the eye OF the patient as it can be made, and
monotony. The furniture should be light,
easily movable, and of cheerful color; all
dark hangings and sombre coverings, when
there, should be replaced by white or light
blue or gray-colored fabrics, ands the walls
should be Of gray or hght-green color.
Papers of aaring colors and papers which
have for patteI number Of rings or circles
of flowers of one design, are extremely bad. l
remember an instance in which the paper of a
wall had for its pattern series of circles like
so many sunfowers; that paper produced in a
nervous patient a scene of giddiness which led
to nausea, and had very bad effect indeed. l
thought at first that the complaint made
against this paper by the patient was rather
absurd, but when tried for myself the expert
ment OF looking for few minutes at the rings
OF the pattern, | actually became, against my
will, subject to gddiness also, and to a sense Of
nausea which was most unpleasant. The fact
led me at once to tear up prescription had
written as sedative for stomachic disturbance.
and to order instead a screen which should
shut off the sight of the Objectionable wall, and
which proved, in fact, an effective remedy.
remember another instance in which the
walls Of the room were covered with a pattern
Of a '.ieur-de-lis," the shading of which, by
some curious twistings, caused each flower to
resemble deaths head. The patient in the
night detected this singular extravaganza of
art half asleep and half awake, fancied himself
in a sort of crypt of skulls, which caused him a
sleeplessness that lasted until the morning, and
led to bad day. The walls of a sick-room
should be quite plain, and of gray or light
green color but there is no objection to cheer
full pictures if they are now and then changed
in position. and are pleasant to the mind of the
invalid without becoming wearisome. Flowers
in the sick room are always good so long as
they are bright and fresh, but they should be
frequently changed, and it is sound practice to
remove them during the night. Flowers which
have sickly odor, lilies, for example, should
be excluded, however charming they may be to
the eye. AS rule, living flowers are better
than dead. Dried leaves, like potpourri are
bad for the sick-room; they gather dust and the
stale odor they emit impairs the purity of the
air

Too Warm for Him.

From the Detroit Free Press.
SIS it too warm inside, sir?" asked a Michi-
gan avenue car conductor of a passenger, who
came out on the platform the other night with
a ''woof,''
''Too warm for me" was the reply.
"Too much draught to the stove, 1 guess
AThat isn't it. See that lady with the green
vsn on?'
''Yes."
Il was divorced from her two years ago. We
quarreled and were unhappy Ihad seat op-
poslte her in there, and she looked at me so
sadly that felt my heart grow big"
But you didn't speak to her.
"No."
Lucky for you, sir, or your head would also
have grown big. That man on the front plat
form with the crowbar, is her husband and he
had his eyes on you"
.'Noa! guess I'll drop off here Maybe she
didn't look SO sad as thought she did,

Expert Opinion.

From the Merchant Traveller.
There was serious question under discus
sion by group of men in the Office of a coy
hotel
1--WE got it down fne," was the remark
which drifted over to the clerk, who was lean
ing on the counter. Il take off my shoes in
the hall and skip the sixth and eleventh steps.
I've counted them, and they're the ones that
squeak
Il wouldn't have squeaky stairsteps," said
another voice. Il keep a pair of oyershoes
under the front stoop. and never have any
trouble"
I'm at work on a little invention that
think will saSe lots of trouble in this direc-
ton" said another. There's a fortune in il.
It's combination of steel night key and a
key hole of magnetized iron. 1t will be eff
fective without exciting suspicion"
That's all well enough" said a quiet man,
but I've got a better scheme than any of you. y
What is it?" asked one CT the group.
"When get home from trip" was the re-
ply. Il spend every evening home, and
amt bothered with any beating round the
bush. When I go anywhere I take my wife
with me and enjoy myself. It's mighty com.
Portable; you ought to try it"

They Had Done the Best.

From the Merchant Traveller.
"Why do all these people talk about cigar
rettes affecting the bwain, dontcherknow?"
said De Burlington to bright young oman
because they are generally supposed to have
that effect, believe" said the young lady
"But," said the young man, Il am quite
suah they nevah affect my bwain and hav Q
used them fob yeahs."
Possibly not, Mr.. De Burlington. but have
no doubt that they did the best they could un-
der the circumstances"

A Parrot Story.

From the Chicago Mail.
A parrot was recently bought by South Side
lady upon the affidavit of the man who sold it
that it had only Sunday-school education.
The bird had in reality been the property of a
saloon-keeper and, its cage being near the
cracker bowl, everybody made free to give it
crackers and teach it tough words. Its new
mistress had hardly got it hung up when a, lady
friend called, and, of course went into ecstasies
over the parrot. When she began to poke her
fingers through the cage and call out Polly,
Polly. Polly" the bird opened one eye, cooked
his head sidewise, looked at the visitor, and
said with great gravity:
Now, for Gods sake don't ask me to have a
cracker. I've sworn off"

Valuable Endorsements of Advertise.
ments.

From the Waterbury Republican.
Ii is fact that newspaper readers do not
slight the advertisements. They have come to
realize that the advertisements in a newspaper
represent the goods which the merchants have
for sale, and they take pains to familiarize
themselves with what storekeepers have to
offer. Moreover, the constituency Of paper
are very apt to be governed by what they read
In their own paper. IL the paper is accepted
in its political. moral and intellectual tone, as
our home paper. its advertisers share the re-
spect and confidence bestowed upon the paper
itself. This Is an important fact for adver-
tisers to remember; at the same time il calls
for the exercise on the part OF the newspaper
publishers of great care in the admission of
advertisements.

How to Do 1t.

Boston Cor Hartford Post.
Mr.. Increase Slow, of the old regime of
traders, was stoutly opposed to advertising be-
cause it gave rival dealers the advantage of
scanning his stock and thus getting, in some
indefnable way, an advantage over him; leaving
his patrons to find out, by instinct, what he had
to sell. The resort to advertising, in our time
is in vast contrast with the Slow process. Our
papers have broadsides OF the most tempting
wares, the result of which is that every one
possessing boarded dime rushes to deposit it
on the altar of bargain. There is no resisting
the temptation to buy, and the rich as well as
those of moderate means avail themselves of
every opportunity to turn penny. Those hav-
ing money, who can invest with an eye to the
future, are sure to be earliest on hand next
day after the advertisement appears, and
coupes and carriages are seen at
the stores almost before the shop
girls get in their places. This is affirmed by
the dealers themselves, who find them their
best customers. By coming early they avoid
the rush that ensues an hour later, after the
dishes are cleared away. That rush is tremen-
dous-heated, crowded and crushing. The
waiting shop-girls, subject very often to imper-
Thence and abuse, try with all their might to
meet demands, but perhaps fail before an
| autocratic servant girl demanding a two
| cent handkerchief. The sight of store full of
bargains-seekers should be seen to be appre-
| eiated. On recent occasion, succeeding a
| gush OF advertising, one days sales in promi-
| nent store, amounted to nearly 500 O0O for
! the most part from small articles one steady
avalanche OF buyers rushing upon the counters
| for the entire day, to the utter exhaustion of
! the tenders. Advertising does il.
