Suggestions for Sickrooms.

A large, sunny room should be Sc
lected for the invalid; if without
carpet so much the better. Sunshine
as disinfectant is worth bushels of
chloride of lime.
The bed linen should be changed
at least once in three days the blan-
kets onces a week, those that have
been removed being hung in the open
air for a few hours, then thoroughly
aired in a warm room.
The room should be kept thorough
ly ventilated and at temerature not
lower than So nor higher than ZOE.
If the patient is kept warm air may
be freely admitted without the least
danger.
The carpet of sickroom should
be lightly brushed once day with
wetted broom. The furniture and
wood work should be wiped with
damp cloth. Dry busters and feather
brushes are worse than useless.
The cross sheet should invariably be
kept free from crumbs and wrinkles,
as these are frequent cause of bed
sores. Whenever the least redness
shows on the patients body the skin
must be at once bathed with alcohol,
Thoroughly dried, and busted with
powdered oxide of zinc.
A sheet folded once lengthwise,
laid across the bed, with the upper
edge just touching the pillows and
the ends tightly tucked under the
mattresses, will be found to add
greatly to the patients comfort. 1t
does not wrinkle like q single sheet,
and crumbs may be readily brushed
off it.
The nurses dress should invaribly
be neat, tasteful and pretty. Slip
pers or boots or felt should be worn.
In bathing the invalid never uncov
Ell too large surface at once. Pin
a blanket round the shoulders, fast
ening it behind, and remove the
night-dress under that. Put the
hand under the blanket and sponge
the skin, a small portion at time.
A woman's hair should be combed
every day if she is able to bear the
fatigue. If it has become tangled
little sweet oil will loosen it.
Household troubles should be kept
far from the sickroom. Above all,
an invalid or an apparent GONZALES
cent should be saved from his friends.
One garrulous acquaintance may in
half an hour undo the good of week
of tender nursing. In long illness
small bed-table will be found in
Every cup, glass,
spoon and utensil used should be |
taken out of the room and washed
as spec Oily as possible. AS to walk
ing on tiptoe and whispering, moth
ing can disturb a sick person more

Raising Roses.

The raising of roses is matter in
itself simple enough, and yet how
few are good and successful rose
growers A bit of dry garden
ground, we'll enriched and kept so
by the yearly addition of stable ma
nure or some artificial fertilizer, this
is the foundation of raising good ros-
es. A low, wet place will not do;
the original character of the soil
makes bnt little difference, whether
sandy or clayey, but the manuring
from year to year cannot be omitted
without the flowers telling plainly of
their poor treatment, Now, these
conditions are easy enough to secure
almost anywhere, They are quite
compatible with the ordinary country
and village homestead, and the rails
ing of few or more or less on the
lawn. When planted on the grass
they should have a spot devoted to
them at least two and a half or three
feet in diameter and tie grass should
not be allowed to encroach upon it,
This spot can be MANFRED and
forked over and kept SO that the
roots can secure the needed nourish-
ment from it. The amateur who in
tends to raise considerable number
of plants and varieties will have a
bed properly prepared for them.
Our p resentvarieties of roses are the
issues of generations of careful Gull
ture, and similar culture must be con-
tinued with them if we hope to have
the best results. 1t is, then, simply
a waste and folly to put out roses
to care for themselves, but this folly
we see repeated every year. Some
whale oil soap and garden syringe,
or a small watering pot in default of
this last plant. AS for winter pro-
lection, some straw, or some dry
leaves and soil, will usually make
them secure from the severest cold.
Lastly, attention to pruning; this
operation, like the pruning of the
grape vine, appears to be incompre-
hensible to many persons, and as
result we see all about us rose bushes
growing up and producing some small
flowers at the extremities of their
branches. In time, the plants be-
come so tall that it is quite inconven-
lent to give them shelter in the cold
season, and they are finally left to
struggle with old Boreas as best they
may. AS result they become I'M
healthy, unsightly, a prey to mildew
and insects, and finally are removed
to the brush pile. But in the mean
time the owner has not learned any |
thing from this object lesson before
his eyes for years. If he plants an
other rose bush, it will be treated in
the same Vjch's Magazine.

Men, when in health and strength,
whether old or young, should, as to
their spiritual and immortal interests,
try to think the thoughts that they
will need to think and wish to think
when they hear the final summons to
leave this world. Thus thinking,
they will prepare their own minds to
hear this summons, as they other
wise certainly will not do.

Zeal is inspiration, intense and
earnest feeling whose direct tenden-

TERRIBLE!
An Eleven Year Old Lad Kills His
Little Brother.
A SAD AFFAIR.

The home of w. ID Strong, farmer
living four and one half miles north
east of st. Louis, in Bethany township,
was the scene of a fearful accident
Sunday evening. The oldest child, a
boy OF eleven, after doing the chores
at the barn came to the house and was
told by his mother to put his little three
year old brother to bed. After getting
him ready they started for the bed
and on their way had to pass throgh
room in which a gun was standing.
The gun was supposed by the
family to contain no charge and
the ramrod was inserted in the
barrel. The elder boy picked up
the gun, raised the hammer and point
ing it toward the floor pulled the trig-
ger. a terrible explosion was the re-
suit and the mother, on rushing into
the room. was horror struck to see her
three years old boy writhing in agony
on the floor with portion Of the ram
rod hanging from his side. DR.. Case
OF st. Louis was sent for, and on ar
irving found that portion of the rod
entered the right side, between the
third and fourth ribs and broke in two
pieces, one protruding from the mouth
of the wound, while the other passed
downward and to the left, and nearly
came through the skin of the
left hip. Medical attendance was of no
avail and the little fellow fingered until
three a. IN. Two other children wit
messed tho tragedy and both say the
gun was pointed 10 the floor. If so the
ramrod must have glanced twice before
striking the child. A third piece of
the rod was found in one corner of the
room. 1t is most distressing accident
for which, according to the children 8
testimony no one seems to be to blame

Amanda B. Jenner, Northampton, Mass, writes Common gratitude im- pels me to acknowledge the great bene- fits have derived for my children from the use of Ayers most excellent Cherry Pectoral. I had lost two dear children from croup and consumption, and had the greatest fear of losing my only re- maining daughter and son, as they wero delicate. Happily, find that by giving them Ayers Cherry Pectoral, on the first symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they are relieved from danger. and are be- coming robust, healthy children"
 "In the winter of 1885 I took bad cold which, in spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family physician considered me incurabie, sup posing me to be in consumption. As last resort l tried Ayers Cherry Pecto- ral, and, in short time, the cure was complete. Since then 1 have never been without this medicine.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

In a careful editorial on the No
vember elections Harper's Weekly
says: 1.-The narrow republican es-
cape from defeat in Massachusetts,
and the defeat in Iowa, and of Gov
ernor Foraker in Ohio, are signs
which cannot be mistaken of decline
Of public confidence in the republican
party" After commenting further
upon the lowering of tone" in the
party, it adds: 1.-The elections of
this year show conclusively that in a
national contest it would not be
easy to forecast the result" The re-
publican party, however, has some
time yet to redeem itself before the
next presidential election. The ques-
ton is will it be wise and accept the
lessons of this years defeat and do
works mete for repentance.
