vention of q lady who was persuaded
to try her hand at patents by the force
of circumstances.
While nursing her husband during
long illness she felt the necessity of
providing some comfortable support
for his head, and finally devised an ar
rangement of spiral wires set in sup
porting frame which gives soft
springy back and is adjustable to any
position. We have all at various times
cudgeled our brains in clumsy en-
dcavors to make the temporary sit
ting up" restful change. | went yes
terday to see q friend who is GONZALES
cling from severe illness, but not yet
strong enough to bear the fatigue of
change to the sofa, and found her sim
ply reveling in the possession of one Of
these delectable inventions.
Still another new invalid's comfort,
which is also the result of woman's
wit, Is very simply-constructed chair
designed for the purpose of carrying
patient from the bed to the sofa, or
from room to room. 1t consists of
strips of canvas which are easily
slipped under patient and when
lifted form n canvas chair, either in
IN upright position or recumbcnt
one. This continuance is without
doubt the very best yot discovered for
moving an invalid, as it entails no ex-
ertion whatever on the part of the suf-
ferer and is a boon in the way of
changing the physical and moral at
mosphere for brief space.
Apart from the suffering, one of the
greatest trials to bear in long illness
is the dead monotony of being shut up
within limited space of four walls;
however attractive and cheerful the
room may be, change to one of less
agreeable aspect and surroundings
rest. Many invalid chairs have been
patented, but all of them necessitate
more or. less exertion, or disturbance
on the part of the patient.
If l wanted to make useful and at
the same time pretty gift to sick
friend know of nothing likely to be
more acceptable than new night lamp
which was shown me yesterday. 1t
is made in theshape of candle, which
fits into low Queen Anne silver can
dlestick. The candle forms the recep-
tacle for the oil, there is little crystal
,,N2be on top, and frame which sup
ports dainty little silk shade, such as
is used on the dinner table candelabra.
The light is soft and clear, and the
lamp is warranted to burn all night

A PLEA FOR GIRLS,
Why They Should BE Urged to Take Part
In Outdoor Sports.

w
In Outdoor Sports.
So much depends upon the education
of girls that the mother who gives
serious thought to the matter will at
once recognize the Importance of care
fully supervising the daily life of her
young impressionable daughter.
Muscle and nerve will not, grow
strong if indoor amuscmcnts are tho
rule. Embroidery and sewing are very
we'll in their way, but it is absolute
cruelty to compel growing girl to sit
in a chair for an hour or two and indus
triously apply the needle.
There is no reason why girls should
not take part in some Of the outdoor
sports that give to their brothers such
robust constitutions.
Health, unless built on solid foun-
dation, is q base counterfeit; there
fore, mothers should insist upon tho
formation of habits that tend to
strengthen both nerve and muscle.
The reading of sensational literature
should be strictly forbidden, as it has a
tendency to make girls morbidly scnti-
mental and self-conscious, and finally
renders them incapable of approaching
high-class reading matter.
1t is bad plan to check or reprcss a
girl continually Health, vitality and
c:;uborancc of spirit go hand in hand
Instead of trying to subdue nature OF
this description, encourage walking,
running, horseback riding, lawn ten
mis-, hand ball, swimming and general
gymnastics, and the result will be u
heafthful and well-balanced physical
development.-Prair Farmer.

When Summer Comes.

The laccs this season are even love-
lier than in years past, and that is Civ
ing them the very highest praise, for
every summer they appear to be as
pretty as possible; yet when the next
twelve months roll around there is an
added beauty that causes one to
marvel at the wonderful skill of the
maker. The few summer gowns which
are not to be trimmed with lace or en-
broidery are to be made in true tailor
fashion. In this category are the linen
and duck suits The linens are the
newer and when made with white
vests are very smart indeed. Red. that
extremely popular summer color,
come prominently to the fore in chillas,
and without q doubt red and black in
combination will be very much worn
this coming season. The thinner ma
terials, such as plumetis and organdie
lissie, will be made over satin and
trimmed with baby ribbon rosettes
and lace. Cotton GRENADINES in black
are perfect wonders, so closely do they
resemble the higher priced silk ones.
Certainly the woman who does not ex-
perience genuine thrill of delight in
looking over the dress beauties for
spring and summer must be more OF
less than mortal. N. Y. Post.

THE WORKING DRESS.
Why 1t Should BE Simply Made and Com
fortably Fitted.

why 1t Should lie Simply Made and Com
fortably Fitted.
1t is a good thing for houselzeepers
that the skirt and blouse styles of
dress are in such general use. These
loose styles of waists are much more
convenient in working than the tight
fitting waist, which in u wash fabric
is 50 apt to shrink and get out Of
shape.
A light quality Of American flannel
of dark cloth color is the most suitable
material for working dresses, though
some houscl1eepers use firm, good
quality of cambria or gingham in VIM
ter as we'll as summer. In either case,
whether the working dress is made of
wool or cotton it should be simply
made and comfortably fitted, and
made so that it may be easily washed.
The best design is skirt with plain
hem, with possibly a few tucks above
it, and for the bodice some variety Of
the blouse waist, which is made with
out lining, so that it may be worn
over close-fitting underwaist. Tho
varieties of this comfortable under
waist are SO great that styles may be
found becoming to stout as well as
slender figures. In neat dress of this
kind, with white apron at hand to
put on in exchange for a bingham one,
the working woman may always be
presentable in case of an unexpected
caller-N. Y. Tribune.

INHABITED BY LUNATICS.
The Old Town OF Gheel, Flanders, and II
Curious Treatment of tho Insane.

The Old Town of Gheel, Flanders, and Its
Curious Treatment of tho Insane.
There are cities and towns built upon
the water, or rather raised above the
water, like Venice, Stockholm and the
"pilc villages" of the Orinoco and the
Venezuelan coast; but the most curl
Gus town on the carths surface is
Gheel, in Flanders This town is not
strange because of its peculiar archi-
lecture or location. 1t is a thorough.
going Flemish town, consisting of
struggling group of houses and lazy,
eed-not-to-morrow, and semi-almost.
purely agricultural population. The
reader will naturally ask "Then why
is it stranger" 1t is because of its
population. Gheel is not populated as
is any other city in the universe. 1t is
aSlittle place of some six thousand
people; but of this five thousand
in 1892, two thousand and seventeen
were lunatcs. The popularity of the
treatment of these insane is that they
are allowed to wander around, uncon.
fned-as though under no surveillance
whatever. They mix with the towns
people, partalSe in their amusements
and festivities, and not infrcquently
assist them in their daily avocations.
Lunatics of every sphere in life are
found in Gheel-princes, mobiles, mer-
chants, peasants-and the inhabitants
board them according to their ability
to pay. 1t is well to explain that in
this unique town the insane are To-
Gated or sdomiciled among the inhab-
itants and not confined in an asylum.
OF course violent patients are not al
lowed to dwell in the cottages of the
people. There is an institution for
this class of lunatics, but the authori-
ties of Gheel do not invite such pa
tients, and, as consequence, very
few violent maniacs are found
either in the town or aSylums of Gheel.
The government has instituted a com
mission for this purpose. This commits
sion also uses power of vetoing the
admission of the insane into the COM
mnne of Gheel. They do not desire in
tractable or incurable patients-no
matter what their station in life. And,
having received apatient into the COM
munity, they use vigilant surveillance
over his or her movements, whether it
be necessary to have the lunatic con-
fined in the asylum or allowed to board
among the inhabitants. Because of
this commission, which consists of the
most famous doctors in lunacy in north
western Europe, violence, undue ex-
element and all kinds of improprieties
among the patients are well guarded
against, and as consequence the little
community lives on in its lazy existence
in peace.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Do You Fold Your Napkin

There is great deal of uncertainty
us to whether it is or is not the thing
to fold the napkin after formal meal.
If one is staying in the house and
knows that napkin rings are in use, it
seems reflection upon that custom to
fling the napkin down in an untidy
heap. An clegantly-appointed taDle
deserves better treetn9pt, eyea at the
end of the meal, than those disboveled
piles of drapery, too. Therefore II al
ways seems fittest 10 simply half lold
the napkin, and not attract attention
to it either by one obtrusive habit or
the other.
