Electric Light and CoIors.

Storekeepers know that the electric
light is almost as good for matching
colors as daylight, but they generally
use the arc light. The light given by
an incandescent lamp is often little
less yellow than gas flame, and this
leads some people into error. A daily
paper complains that yellow and pink
cannot be distinguished by electric
light; that hellotropc assumes q pinky
hue, and that many delicate gradations
of shade are quite lost under the light
of the modern illuminant Pale blue
also loses some of its glory, but green
is vastly improved. Bright crimson
looks well if artistically and effectively
toned down, and some shades of prim
rose are especially beautiful Wrinkles
it is said. are mercilessly shown up,
and the complexion that is not of ma
lures making becomes fiat and CHASTITY
III tho truthful light. For this reason
the electric light is not popular with
many people, but the knowing hostess
secures all its beautiful effects and
makes everlasting friends of her lady
guests by covering every lamp with a
shade of yellow silk. = Chicago Record.

Petroleum For DIphtherla,

During an epidemic of diphtheria in
French town, in which large per cent died
under the ordinary treatment, u physician
tried local applications of petroleum. As
reported by Il foreign journal, he says: 81
commenced this mode of treatment on a
little girl whose fauces, tonsils and soft
palate were covered with thick false mem
branes. From the very first applications of
the petroleum the membranes were seen to
whiten. retract and almost dissolve under
the brush. The same evening she breathed
more easily and expelled some membra-
nous eXudations. Five days later the child
was, if not absolutely cured, out of danger.
and complete recovery was only q question
of time. From that time forth employed
petroleum locally in all my cases, and con-
graduate myself OH having done So since
they all recovered.
"A throat brush, dipped into the petroleum
and shaken free of any excess of the LIQUID,
Is passed every hour or every two hours. nc.
cording to the gravity Of the case, over the
parts covered by mem brane. The applica
ton is said not to be painful-on the con-
trary, it produces soothing effect The
only drawbacks are the disagreeable taste
and Odor of the petroleum. Membranes en-
PEELED by patients and received into cap
sules containing petroleum are almost to-
tally dissolved after a gradual process of
disinteGration. The treatment lasted on an
average fortnight, at the end of which
recovery generally occurred almost sud-
denly.'

THE CARE OF AN INVALID.

ot tho Following Hints the Last Two Arc
Specially Recommended to the Reader.
An lnvalid's room should be as large as
1t is possible to have it-bright, CHEEKY and
airy and comfortably furnished A point
that should be studied carefully by the
sickroom 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.
lnvalds take Il keen interest i'm life IL
kept part of the family circle and thor
oughly enjoy little glimpses of outside,
such rs are afforded by new book or mag
azlne, II knicknack brought from abroad, n
fresh plant, etc. Fortunately it is easy
enough in these days to keep up n fairly
continuous change of literary food ut no
over great expense, and it is wonderful how
clever one becomes at picking up all kinds
OF triiies that may serve as amusement and
interest to the dear one at home, who can
only take her walks by deputy.
1t is wonderful, too, what a help sheer
beauty is in making tho wheels of life 20
round. A new stitch for the pretty fancy
work, bunch of wild flowers, n dainty
piece of dress, may all seem trifles and vet
work marvels in the sickroom.
1t is almost needless to add that fresh air.
and plenty of it, is imperative This does
not imply either cold air OF drafts. These
latter are easily guarded against by por-
there's and screens, while the former is OBJ
waited by warming the air before it reaches
the invalid. Except in really warm wealth.
err, it is always best, where possible, not to
let the air come direct into the sickroom.
Set the windows wide open on the stairs
or in neighboring room. leaving the doors
open.
In we'll kept sickroom there is little fear
of actual stuffiness, but unless frequently
changed the atmosphere becomes, so to say,
overbreathed and loses it's freshness, which
is frequently the unsupported cause Of
many of the fits 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.

Center Design of Cupids With Border Of
Furnished Gold on Blue or Pink Ground.
Cupids, or figures in quaint costume for

COLDS, fiat or raised, and more or less bur

always in vogue, and Art Amateur makes
the following suggestions in regard to
them:
The costume of the figures suggests the
style of ornament to be used for the border
design, which should be of IL similar period

1ngs of the central subject will suggest
ideas for conventional treatment to the

The deeper or hard kiln colors are best
laid on before the final baking of the DOR

in buying plates see that the colored Dor

already on, and when painting avoid care
fully any touch or smear of gold or raised
enamel that would mar the brilliancy of

An old oak stood on a streamlet's bank,

From its waters sweet the old oak drank,
And both were as happy as could be.
But winter drear cast its sombre spell.
And the streamlet lay stlled I'm its bed,
The tear-stained leaves from the old oak
fell
As it wept for It's friend that was dead.
But lol there came sweet springs warm

The streamlet was freed from its Icy
chain:
The old oak saw that there IS no death,
And in JOY put on It's leaves again.

And when we are freed from its CALLING

CULTURAL NOTES ON WHEAT.

Suggested by Result. Gained at the In.
diana Agricultural Experiment Station.
Here are some important points con-
corning wheat. set forth in a bulletin
sent out by Director Plumb, of the Pur-
due university station, at Lafayette,
Ind. He says;
Velvet Chaff, Michigan Amber and
Fultz varieties of wheat have been
grown for nine years on the university
farm and rank in order as named,
though Michigan Amber surpasses Vel
Vet Chaif as rust resisting variety.
Red Clawson and Jones Winter Fife
are the two most promising recently in
trodnced varieties.
For eight years six pecks Of seed sown
per .!cre have given the most satisfac
tory results. III the region of Lafayette
higher AVERAGE yield has been secured
from wheat sown Sept. 20 over other
dates of sowing.
judicious rotations, including grass,
have gwen better returns than constant
grain cropping. Heavy applications of
manure and fertilizers to Il Worn soil
growing corn and wheat alternately,
have given paying returns. The aver
age results of all experiments at this
station with fertilizers and manures
upon wheat during the past three years,
III full or two-third doses, have not been
profitable.
The use of hot water or copper sui
phatc failed to destroy the spores of
loose smut. Blunt, or striking smut. in
wheat was successfully destroyed by
using hot water or copper sulphate.
Early and late harvesting of wheat had
practically no effect on yield or weight
Of grain. Yield of grain and straw Was
considerably reduced by moving wheat
on certain plats III spring to check rank
ness of growth. In comparing forms Of
nitrogen for fertilizing the wheat plant,
sulphate of ammonia gave rather better
yield than nitrate Of soda or dried blood

Red squirrels as Rat Traps.

Here is communication that is going
the rounds of the agricultural journals:
Some years ago rats We're quite annoy
ing about our house and barn. The red
squirrels came to live with us. They
got into the house, walls and garrets.
We rather enjoyed seeing them and SO
encouraged their sojourn i'll the house.
The only objection to their presence was
their early waking, and they some
times found and appropriated the chill
dren's nuts that We're stored in the
chambers. After the squirrels came
the rats all left, and we have not seen a
rat for years, either at the house or the
barn. have no doubt that the squir-
rels drove the rats away. If this would
work successfully every time, then it
might pay to introduce and encourage
the presence of red squirrels about the
house and barn. Three or four SPUR
rels about the barn do no harm. So far
us have tried them | can recommend
red squirrels as the best of rat traps
