THE CARE OF AN INVALID.

Specially Reconmended To the Reader.

or the roiIowing Hints the Last Two Are
Specially Recenmended to the Reader.
An invalid's room should be as large as
Il Is possible to have it--bright, CHEEKY and
airy and comfortably furnished. A point
that should be studied carefully by the
pickroom attendants is variety. The inva-
lid cannot change her room, SO change the
room for her and try to make its daylight
appearance as different as possible from its
night look.
Invalids take keen interest in life IL
kept part Of the family circle and thor
pughly enjoy little glimpses of outside,
uuch as are afforded by new book OF mag
,zine. knicknack brought from abroad. a
,resh plant, etc. Fortunately it Is easy
enough in these days 10 keep up fairly
continuous change OF literary food at no
over great expense, and it is wonderful how
clever ono becomes at picking up all kinds
OF tribes that may serve as amusement and
interest to the dear one at home, who can
only take her walks by deputy.
It In wonderful, too, what a help sheer
beauty Is In making the wheels of life go
round. A new stitch for the pretty fancy
work, q bunch Of wild flowers, a dainty
piece OF dress, may all seem tribes and yet
work marvels In the sickroom.
II Is almost needless 20 add that fresh air,
and plenty of II, IL imperative. This does
not imply either cold air or drafts. These
latter are easily guarded against by por-
there's snd screens, while the former Is OBJ
Waited by warming the air before 10 reaches
the invalid. Except in really warm wealth
er, it IL always best. where possible, not to
let the afr come direct into the sickroom.
Set the windows wide open on the stairs,
or IN neghbortng room. leaving the doors
open.
In well kept sickroom there is little fear
of actual stuff1ness, but unless frequently
changed the atmosphere becomes, so to say,
overbreathed and loses its freshness, which
is frequently the unsuspected cause of
many of the fts of depression, mental and
physical, that puzzle inexperienced sick
room attendants.
The making of the bed should also be
studied, and here Is one piece of advice
make all your preparations for this out of
the room. People weakened by long con-
tinued illness become actually tired from
watching the preparations for their bed
making. This sounds absurd, but trained
nurses will tell you it is nevertheless fact.

BERLIN, Nov 21.-A further extract
from Hans Blum's forthcoming book,
''rhe German Empire in Bismarck's
Day." Is published. 1t deals with the dis
missal Of Prince Bismarck. 1t says that
Immediately after Prince Bismarck's in
terview with Herr Windthorst the en-
peror sent to Prince Bismarck the follow
Ing message: "The kaiser requires that
Prince Bismarck shall not receive men,
bers of the reichstag without previously
reporting TO the kaiser"
Prince Bismarck replied; "Please tell
the emperor that / allow nobody to have
any control of my own household"
The next morning, March ID, the en-
peror went to Prince Bismsrck's resi-
dence, where he declared that he must
know every night the result Of the chan
cellor's negotiations with the party lead
ers. Prince Bismarck refused to comply
with the emperor's demands.
The emperor was greatly agitated. He
said Not even when l command you to
do it as your sovereign
The prince replied: "My masters au-
thority ends at my wife's drawing room.
He then proceeded to state that he only
remained in Office because OF the promise
he had made to Emperor William that he
would serve his grandson. The emperor
then demanded the princes resignation as
chancellor, at the same time Offering him
the title of Duke Of Lauenburg and pen.

Prince Bismarck rejected the offer, say

TcoIe Poisoning Case Viii Never Be
Explained.
A REHEARSAL OF THE TESTIMONY
Results In the Discharge OF stephen by
the Court.-He Was Warmly Congrat-
uiated by BIS FRIENDSHIP Eviiencs
to Connect Him with tho Crime.

Boston, Nov. 2l.-Nearly all the wit
nesses who have at one time and another
appeared for the government or defense In
the Toole poisoning case in the municipal
court in South Boston were present to
listen to the closing arguments in tho
preliminary hearing and to hear the de-
cision of the court.
Promptly at Q o'clock yesterday Judge
Fallon took bis seat upon the bench and
Lawyer Greed began his argument for the
defense. He said that the evidence, pre-
sented largely by witnesses summoned by
the government, not only failed to estab-
lish the probability OF the guilt Of the de-
fendant, Stephen Toole, but 1t estab-
lished his innocence beyond all question Of
doubt. Lawyer Creed then went over the
testimony of each Of the witnesses.
The various theories which have been
advanced In explanation Of this mysteri-
Gus case were touched upon by Mr.. Creed,
touching particularly upon the likelihood
Of Margaret's having used the cyanide Of
potassium in place f sugar.
One hour and 20 minutes were taken up
by Mr.. Creed in his review Of the testi-
mony offered at the hearing.
Tho Governments Argument.
At 1926 Lawyer Paal arose to present the
governments case. For more than an
hour he argued, pointing out to the court
the singular coincidence Of cyanide of po-
tassium, one Of the rarest Of poisons, hav-
ing been in the Toole house for weeks be-
fore the accident, and of 1t having been
used by the defendant on the very day Of
the poisoning.
Stephens previous record. or at least the
governments version of his record, was
touched upon, and the alleged quarrel be-
tween Him and his brother Patrick on the
Monday night previous to the tragedy
was dilated upon to the fullest extent.
Mr.. Paul closed his argument with an
appeal TO the court urging that the de-
fendant be held for the action Of the grand
jury.
The Judges Decision.
Judge FalloD, In an eloquent and able
reviewal Of the case, presented the facts as
they appeared from the testimony given
In one of his closing periods he made use
of these words:
"Were to hold the defendant for the
grand Jury on the evidence which has
been given in this court, there is no con-
ceivable reason why should not likewise
hold Minnie and Michael also for their
evidence has been in every way to con-
meet them with the deaths fully as much
as the defendant"
At 4:45 the concluding words were
spoken, and Stephen Toole walked forth
from the dock, again q free man.
The solution of this, the most mysteri-
Gus case which has happened in this city
for years, may never appear; in fact, the
probability is that 1t never will. What
caused the death Of Hannah and Margaret
Toole will remain unknown. and the case
will go down into history as one more OF
the mysteries of Boston, whose true solu-
ton will nevrr be brought to light.

PRoPAGATING BOXES.
WASHINGTON.
The Invention of Jay C. Lyon of Judd's Bridge.
PRoPAGATING BOXES.

Jay c. Lyons invention has for its OBJ
ject to provide box or case for germi-
mating seeds, forcing plants, etc, as for
instance in the propagation of roses and
flowers, cabbage and tomato plants.
The special object is to produce inexpen-
sive and small sized boxes, each of which
shall be an Independent green house on
small scale, so that persons may sprout
their own plants with out being depend
ent on green house supplies. The body
of the box is made entirely of glass and
may be Of any suitable size or shape. The
sides of the box may be straight, although
in practice are preferably made to in
cline downward and outward slightly for
purpose presently to be explained.
The sides are provided with handles for
convenience in lifting. 1t has remova-
BILE top and bottom made of glass. The
box is made with heavy beads at top and
bottom, which are provided with under
cut grooves to receive the slides top and
bottom, the beads being provided for
the purpose of Strengthening the box
where the top and bottom slide in. The
top is provided with a central OPEN
ing, which may or may not be plugged.
The bottom is provided with boss upon
which the weight rests so as to avoid
any danger of breaking the bottom. In
order that two kinds of plants may be
sprouted in the box at the same time
and their roots kept entirely separated,
he hnxy IL 1aI
sides Of the body, pairs of Tugs which
are adapted to support partition which
may extend from the bottom nearly to
the top. This partition is made of glass
and, being readily removable, may, or
may not be used, as found most conven-
ient,i in view of the special uses to which
the box may be placed. In use the bot
tom is inserted, the partition being first
inserted, If required and the box partly
filled with rich earth. The seeds or cut
tings to be sprouted are then placed
therein and the top inserted. If it is de-
sired to have the moisture remain in the
box suitable stopper Is placed in the
opening. BY making the sides incline
downward and outward slightly it is
made very easy to remove the plants
and all the earth in the box with them,
which is of course desirable in trans
planting. To remove the plants it is
simply necessary to remove the bottom
and jar the box slightly until the con-
tents will drop out. The patent was is
sued on April IL, 1893, and undoubtedly
will net Mr. Lyon handsome sum.

A JUNIOR MISSIONARY GATHERING.

A JDNlOh MlSSloNAh1
The annual picnic of the Mayfower
missionary circle, connected with the
Womans' Board of missions, was heldEon
Wednesday of last week under the SUI
pervision of the efficient leader, Miss
Sarah Beardsley, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs William Fl. Sturdevant. Several
children, who were not members of the
society, and other friends of children
were noticed, some 40 in all being pres
ent. Between the enjoyment of a varie
ty of games and out door sports and the
serving of ample refreshments, the time
passed pleasantly for the children, and
the lockers on were happy because the
children were. The gathering was on
the lawn of the place, formerly occu-
pied by DR. A. w. Fem, for many years
the superintendent of the Sabbath school
of the Congregational church, and
warm friend of children. Many pleas
ant recolleCtions of the doctor and of his
interest in children were revived by old
er members of the party, and it was
NOGGu IuSb JIiNC Iol a
ering. The MayflOwer circle is COM
posed of boys and girls, and their inter-
est in mission work is quite well sus-
tanned. They have been working for
different fields, among them kinder
garten in Smyrna, where dolls were
sent. Rev K. Fairbank, for the last
year pastor of the RoXbury church, is
just now leaving for his missionary home
in India and takes with him thoughtful
tokens of remembrance from the boys
and girls las we'll as from the older mem
bers of his congregation. The children
are now planning for an imaginary ex-
cursion to Micronesia, which promises
to give them an insight into the habits
of the people there as well as to awaken
and encourage missionary spirit. The
vessel to be used on the occasion is to
be built, we understand, by member
Of the circle and after Micronesia is suf-
ffciently explored, Africa is to claim at
tention. The Mayflowers, it would
seems, are not unlike their namesake of

degree, the idea of the common brother
