WATER AS A DIsINFECTANT.

1t is fact that appears to be not
generally known, perhaps because it
may not be generally credited, that
pure, fresh cold water is one of the
most valuable of disinfectants, mas
much as it is a powerful absorbent.
Every sick-room should have large
vessel of clear water, frequently re-
newed, placed not far from the bed,
or even beneath it. This not only
absorbs much of the hurtful vapor,
but by its evaporation it softens and
tempers the atmosphere, doing away
with the dryness which is SO trying
and depressing to an invalid-or even
to well persons, for that matter. 1t
has frequently been shown, by actual
experiment, that troubled sleep and
threa insomnia are corrected
by so simple a thing as the placing
of an open bowl of water near the
sufferers couch. Of course, it hard
ly need be said after these matters
have been considered for moment,
that water which has stood for any
length of time in a close room is not
proper for drinking purposes.-[ GOOD

DOMESTIC LIFE IN PARIS.

Life in Paris means what it does
in all large cities: the good and the
bad, writes Edward w. Box in The
Ladies Home Journal for August.
The casual tourist sees, as a rule,
only one side. AS a race, the French
are merry-making people; their very
natures seek and crave enjoyment.
But their amusements are, therefore,
not necessarily of an order below the
ken of responsibility. 1t has been
my pleasure to see something OF
French domestic life, and to hear
more of it, from sources away from
prejudice. The affection which exists
between the French father and his
daughter is beautiful and almost
spiritual Home and family means
as much to him as it does to the

resident of any other city under the
sun. The French mother is not only
a cook par excellence, but a perfect
type of housekeeper. By nature, she
is quick, and she accomplishes much
more with less exertion than does
her English sister The education
of her children is as a gospel to her.
Her religious faith is strong, and she
instills it into her children at the
domestic board and at event1de.
The parents live out-ofdoors, but it
is rare, indeed, that you see children
on the streets of Paris after reasona-
BILE hours. They are taught to find
their chief amusements in the home;
and everything is done by the French
father and mother to see that the
home is attractive to their children.
One of the most beautiful sights in
the world is to see well-regulated
French family, where you will find
the atmosphere redolent with domes-

at this season, when the fruit is so

use one generous pint of -four, half a

baking powder, half pint of blue
berries and two tablespoonful of
butter Mix the baking powder,
sugar and salt with the -four and
rub through sieve; then work the
butter through the -four. Beat the
egg till light and add the milk to it.
Add this to the dry ingredients and
beat we'll. Now add the berries,
stirring as little as possible. Spread
the mixture in well-buttered,
shallow baking pan, having it about
an inch and half thick. Bake in a
moderately quick oven for about
twenty-five minutes, and serve hot.

THE VALUE OF HOT WATER.

Even savages, whose point-not of

the various hot springs had been fire.

of their ills and ails; and it is they
who have often taught us the where
abouts of these Bethesdas, and there
are few more interesting sights to-
day than one of these hot springs,
where the steaming stream gushes
from the mountain side, where the
sick and the lame are brought on
filters and go away dancing. 1t
seems, in the case of the natural out
flow of hot water from none knew
what sources, as if old Mother
Earth herself knew what was best

which Medea would have made

or planetary force in them which
makes them of double efficacy. But
for our own part, heated though
these waters be at fires born of the
suns own sacred fire, we doubt if
the fire born of mans ingenuity,
kindled by the spark struck from his
own brain, is not equally potent,
and if the water that is boiled at
home be not of quite as much worth
to the ordinary individual as that of
these up-gushing superheated springs.
And in the mean time we are sure
that the household is the healthiest
and safest, as we'll as the cleanliest
and sweetest, where there is always
on hand a full supply of hot water;

vocate anything tending toward
support of domestic differences and

CONVERSATION IN THE sICK-RooM.

Never whisper in a sick-room; the
sound is excessively exasperating to
an invalid. Say what you have to
say in a clear, distinct, though not
necessarily loud, voice which the
patient will be under no strain to
understand. l knew of a lady who,
having been i'll for some time, had
had several people to watch with
her LET me have Mrs." she
at last begged, "she never whispers.
People will often stand outside the
door of sick-room and carry on
whispered conversation: do not
make the mistake of thinking it an
improvement on louder speaking.
There should be no talking near
sick-room unless quite necessary, and
when necessary, as 1 have said, it
should not be in whispers. And let
me just here put in a plea for the
nurse; You are not in the patients
room, do not be offended when asked
to be more quiet about the house,
even when you think that you
are being very careful. 1t is almost
impossible to realize, when you
know that the doors are shut, or
possibly story is between you and
the invalid, that what seems to you
a conversation carried on in ordinary
tones, can possibly penetrate to
that distant chamber, but it can, my
friends, and does; SO take the re-
quest, when it comes, in good part;
for it is almost agony, at times, to
the nurse Good Housekeeping.
