Little children who go to church
and say their prayers softly and
earnestly after the clergyman would
be much surprised at the way some
grown up men and women say their
prayers. In part of India called
Darjeeling many different kinds of
people live'called Bhootias, Lemboos,
and Lepchas. In fact, they are like
Chinese, but dress quite differently.
Here they have praying flags. These
poor ignorant people write on a piece
of white calico any prayer they wish,
then tie it to long pole, which they
fasten to very high tree. The flag
waves about with the prayer on it.
A praying wheel looks like brass
ball on a stick. Inside the ball is a
narrow strip of parchment, on which
the prayers are written. You can
twist the stick, the ball goes round
very fast, and the prayers go round
also. Some men think even that too
much trouble, so pay another man to
twist the handle for them.

CTS FROM DIR. TALMAGES

Have, at least, one book in your Ii
brary in which all the good children
did not die. My early impression
from Sunday school books was that
religion was very unhealthy. 1t seem

cry boy and girl that it touched. If I
found myself one day better than
common, I corrected the mistake at
once for fear I should die, although it
was the general opinion that | was
not in much danger from over sancti
ty. But do believe that children may
have religion and yet live through it.

foot of the bed and bringing it up as
smoothly as possible, unrolling it as
you move it up. When it is well over
your patient, draw down the soiled
sheet and remove it at the foot of the
bed. In this way you do not remove
any Of the blankets, and thus avoid
chilling the patient. Sheets should
be changed much oftener than they
commonly are, but if it is necessary
to economic, keep two upper sheets
in use at the same time, and alternate
them, putting the one which has been
in use all day in another room by
window, and putting over the patient
the one you hung in the air in the
morning, taking care that they are
not damp Or chilly. If light weight
Counterpart can be had, it is pleasant
to have a white cover for the bed, but
the heavy bed-spread is an extra bur
den that is unnecessary. Besides the
usual napkins, have lunch cloth or
some large towel, for use as table
cloth under the tray. 1t will keep
crumbs out Of the bed, and in patients
of the male persuasion, prevent pro
family. Keep the bed as smooth as
you wish, but do not be "forever
tucking in" your patient. Sick peo-
pie, as rule, do not like to be fused
over more than is necessary. One
old gentleman whom I nursed, and
for whom I was doing everything
could think of, fearing I would not do
my whole duty, remarked that he

LADIES' COLUMN.
CARE OF THE BED FOR THE SICK.

When we are well, we seldom spend
more than nine hours out of twenty
four in bed. In sickness, however,
the bed becomes our abiding place.
How necessary that it be made as
comfortable as possible. Beds firm,
soft, and high enough to allow one to
bend over and keep in that position,
as we are often obliged to do, without
feeling as though we had suffered dis
N location of the spine upon resuming
an upright position. Nice, clean, cool
linen, different sizes of pillows, soft
blankets,-all these things, and many
others, we might mention, are desira-
BILE, but not always to be had. We
can have cleanliness.
In different kinds of sickness, differ
ent ways of making a bed are requir-
ed. A few rules hold good in all cases.
The under sheet should be we'll tuck
ed in at the head, and the upper one
at the foot, for the arms work the up
per one up and the feet push the I'M
der one down. An excellent plan
is to fold an extra sheet in it's length,
once, then lay it across the middle of
the bed, tuckiug it in at the sides. In
hospitals this is called a "binder" or
.'draw- sheet" It certainly binds the
bed firmly, and can be used to draw
the patient up toward the head of the
bed, and it keeps the bed from be-
coming soiled, is easily changed, and
if rubber sheet is next to the mat
tress, makes two thicknesses more
between it and the patient.
AS for pillows, two small ones are
better than one large one, and we like
a good hair pillow. Where there is
great heat in the head, rubber wa
bag filed with ice-water gives
great rrlief from pain. When it be-
comes necessary to change the pill
low of a sick person, if very weak,
have a fresh pillow laid at the oppo-
site side from the one at which you
are standing. With one hand under
the patients head, withdraw the hard
one, and bring the other to its place.
We like to have small pillows, home :
made, stuffed with hair or cotton, to
place under the back, or lame arm,
or the knees. A feather pillow under
the knees will prevent the patient
from slipping down in the bed. A
rubber pillow is a luxury indeed, but
we can not all afford luxuries.
Making the bed with the patient in
it is not so difficult a task as one who
has not seen it done would suppose
Unless the patient is very weak, make
the bed from the side. After the
sheets have been we'll aired and
warmed fold one lengthwise, half Of it
in very small, fiat folds; lay this fold
ed part next and close to the patient
sheet, folded in the same way. Press
down the mattress close to the pa
tient, pushing before it the soiled un-
der sheet, folded in the same way
Press down the mattress close to the
patient, and gently work the two
folds, the soiled and the clean one
under the back and shoulders; the
head and feet can be slightly raised tC
let the folds pass; this done, you have
only to pull the sheet smooth and tuck
it in.
The clean upper sheet should be
rolled in its width, beginning at the
bottom. Pass it under the sheet you
are to change, commencing at the

It is the fashion to speak of all who
have succeeded in writing their nam
es high on history's page as though
they never gave way to the tempta-
ton to be respondent. Yet if the
facts could only be known it is the
very men who have within themselv-
es the ability to finally win the victo-
ny that are apt at times to become
most deeply involved in the sloughs
Of despond. Washington himself was
subject to periods of the most intense
depression, as witness this passage
from letter to a friend, written at
Valley Forge
The history of the war is a history
Of false hopes and temporary expe-
dents.
Would to God they were to end
here.
In another letter he said after a
most gloomy recital of the reasons he
had for being low spirited
To me it will be miraculous if our
affairs can maintain themselves much
longer in their present train.
But Washington possessed the pow
er of recovering from these fits of
the blues and of putting forth every
effort, after they were over, as if they
had never fallen to his lot, and therein
lay the true secret of his final triumph
and his imperishable glory.
