BED.SORES.
Simple Treatment for q Very Distressful
Affection.

| Simple Treatment for q Very Distressful
Affection.
The danger of bed-sores is not al
ways in proportion to the carelessness
of the nurse; the condition of the pa
tient often has more to do with it.
Bed-sores attack first the skin over
the hard prominences at the end of
spine, the hip bones, the knees, elbows
| and heels
AS has been limited, the predisposing
cause is debility, either from contin-
ued fever, as typhoid, or from paralysis
and old age, but continued pressure,
unclean bsdding and untidy habits Of
the nurse are sometimes the immediate
occasion of the difficulty.
The first appearance of bed-sore is
to be noticed in the increased redness
of the skin at some point in the places
mentioned. Soon a blister forms and
the skin breaks away, leaving the sur
face raw and moist. Decomposition
sets in very quickly il these symptoms
are neglected, and the blister becomes
a rancid, open sore.
The outcome of the disease depends
upon the general condition of the pa
tient, and the removal or non-removal
of the cause of the trouble.
If there is much de bility, tonic treat
ment should be begun at once, while
the various points on the surface
of the body which are likely
to become involved should be
rubbed twice day at least,
say for five or ten minutes, with stim-
ulating, hardening mixture like spir.
its of camphor, or a mixture of equal
parts of olive oil and brandy.
A good liniment is simple alcohol or
bay rum weakened, if necessary, with
water. The skin should not be irritat-
ed by the application, but simply
cleaned and hardened. The promi-
nences of bone may be covered with
surgeon-plaster, provided there is no
excessive sweating of the body.
When a blister forms the part should
be Immediately relieved of pressure by
air cushions or hair pillows. Collodion
should be applied, and the parts kept
absolutely dry.
If the blister goes on Co an open sore,
use poultices until an opening is made
and the matter is all discharged.
Afterward use stimulating, cleansing
washes like borax-water or carbolic
acid. Peruvian halssm on bit of cot
ton wool is an excellent remedy at this
stage.
Preventive measures. which should
slways be taken in cases of bed-sores,
comprise careful nursing, dry, smooth
crawn sheets, water-beds or cushions,
and frequent change Of position. In
particular. the under sheet and night
robe should be kept cry, clean and
Nmooth.-Youth's Companion.

Her Charm of Manner.

A modern thinker has said: ''The

THE WAY TO SERVE BREAD.

Fashion Changes Even In tho Manner of
Handling the "Staff of Life"
Fashion dictates changes at table as
well as elsewhere, and even the method
of serving bread, which Strengthens
mans heart, and therefore called the
staff of life" has changed materially Y
since the primitive days when the loaf
was passed about the table and each
one cut off slice for himself.
Nowadays very little bread is eaten
with dinner, and, as a rule, with the
soup only, and a slice or roll IS placed
a. each plate in a napkin, which is
folded in various ways according to
the shape of the bread-whetner it is
round or long. When it is arranged in
the napkin it should be placed at the
left side of the plate. Never bite into
the bread; it should be broken by the
fingers and eaten in small bites. These
facts may seem absurd to certain per-
sons, but may be also appreciated by
q great many others 1t is impossible
to set forth a good table, and follow
conventionalities, and at the same
time ignore the small details. Imagine
young girl brought up in the conn
Try, in the very greatest simplicity, be-
coming the wife of grand function
ary, and obliged to go into the world
and to receive its attentions. She has
a great deal to learn and table usages
are not the least by any means.
The waitress who serves at the table
should see that each guest has enough
bread, and if more is desired she should
serve it on plate as the occasion de-
mands. In certain houses the bread is
offered in silver basket; in others, it
is presented in little wicker basket.
garnishei with daintily EN- broidered
dolly. There are other very pretty
bread trays, or "boats," in japanese
lacquer, which are exceedingly orna-
mental
At small family meal it is a pretty
custom to serve the bread on plate
of wood, ornamented in Swiss carving,
with an inscription on the border.
"Cut and come again"
To be correct, butter should not be
served at dinner, and on many tables
in England it does not appear until
the end of the meal, when it is served
with celery. just before the cheese and
coffee. When put upon the table it is
in the form of little balls or acorns,
which are speared with silver prong.
The individual cellar for salt is ac-
cepted now in preference to the salt
shakers which were SO popular for
years Pepper, however, is better in
little silver perforated pot than in
cellar. Never, under any considera-
ton, sprinkle salt or pepper from tho
end of the knife, by clattering the
fork against it 1t is the very worst
of i'll breeding TO do so.-N. Y.

proved to be an immense success in
deerstalking. In this form of hun ting
the sportsman matches the keenest
power Of human patience, endurance
and skill against the marvellous de-
fensive instincts of the game.
The swift antlered beauties are
more frequently wounded than killed
outright by ball In that condition
they run many miles with the hounds
and huntsmen often following, and
even then may escape. The new ap-
paratus adopted by the kaiser shows
exactly where the shot took effect and
thus enables the hunter to determine
whether or not it will pay to follow
up the game.
The naked eve may deceive the
hunter, who is usually trembling with
excitement. But as the axis of the
gun camera always corresponds with
the sight," it must necessarily reflect
the exact spot where the bullet is
aimed. The camera opeus the moment
when the ''sight" is taken and closes
with the picture fixed in it a fraction
of a second before the firing of the
shot The device is light ard easily de-
tachable. The hunters breast poe ket
