WOMAN AND HOME.
IN THE SICK ROOM.
Hints That May Assist tho Nurse and Re-
lieve the Invalid.

Hints That May Assist tho Nurse and Re-
uieve the Invalid.
Do not add to the trials of the patient
by keeping constantly before him med
icino bottles, glasses and spoons. Let
all these reminders of his low estate
be kept out of sight on neatly ar
ranged table behind u screen or in !
the ufcove, which it is wise to have off |
every sick room. TO keep medicine and
suggestions of medicine before the in
valid is about as humane as to treat
n condemned prisoner to daily glimpses
of the scaffold.
The sick room should be odorless.
The air must be let in freely as often
rs possible. Pile extra blankets and
comfortables over the invalid; tie up
his head that the wind may find no
spot ut which to attack him, and open
the windows and doors wide. Disin-
fectants are generally disagreeable,
but they may be used during the air.
ing of the room, for the draught win
destroy their unpleasant odor, and they
will destroy the unpleasant odor Of
disease.
The bed clothes and the patients
linen must be changed every day.
Fresh clothing and fresh sheets will
do much to prevent the atmosphere
from becoming "stuffy." The patient
should be bathed as often as the physi-
clan permits. He should not, however,
be bnthed without the doctors knowl-
edge and direction, for baths are as
effective as medicine. and their effects
are sometimes as disastrous as those of
the wrong medicine.
Never ask the patient what he wishes
to eat, but keep an attentive ear
open for any chance words he may say
on the subject. Feed him according
to the doctors directions. Never bring
him much food at one time. 1t will
destroy his appetite. Let the tray be
daintily arranged and never let it re-
main in the sick room for an instant
after the meal is over. Even a healthy
person will be revolted by the sight
of scraps of food and unwashed dishes.
The windows should be shaded with
dark green holland shades, which will
temper the glare of light for the suf-
ferer's eyes. At night there should
be shaded night light in the room.
A screen should always be placed SO
that no direct rays may fall upon the
patients eyes.
The nurse should be neatness, quick
ness, quietness and good cheer personi-
fed. Her slippers should be noiseless
felt affairs. Her skirts should not
rustic. Her gown must be neither too
somber nor too bright. Her apron
must be spotless and unrumpled her
hair smooth and shining, her patience
ineXhaustible and her good cheer per-
petual. She must rule the rest of the
family with rod of iron, permitting
no noisy visitors, no gloomy visitors
!. no visitors who will relate tales of bust
ness or of household worry.-St. Loui,
Republic.

Returns to His Residence.
Constantinople, Dec. 10. - Notwith-
standing the general belief that the eX-
grand vizier, Said Pasha, would persist
in his reported determination to leave
the country, an important change was
made in his plans Monday. 1t appears
that the sultan has at last persuaded
him to forego his intention of remain
ing under the protection of the British
ambassador, for he left the embassy
and returned to his residence. 1t is be-
lieved here that the resolution adopted
at the meeting of the representatives of
the powers on Thursday to the effect
that the powers would support him
should he again accept the post of
grand vizier was an important factor in
causing him to reconsider his determi-
nation to expatriate himself. AS yet
there is no indication of what his future
course will be-

OUR RELATIONS WITH GERMANY
The Tarir Situation Is Dis cussed In the
Reichstag.

The Tartn Situation Is DIS cussed In the
Reichstag.
Berlin, Dec. 1O.-In the reichstag Mon
day, Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein,
minister of foreign affairs, in reply to
Herr Fritzen's remarks, concerning the
tariff situation between Germany and
the United States, said that the Amer
lean congress had some time since
adopted differential duty upon sugar,
Germany protested against this and Mr..
Cleveland did Loyalty all that he had the
power to do in the matter, but congress
refused to modify it's previous action.
Germany, he declared, maintains that
the differential duty adopted by the
American congress is violation of the
existing treaty. President Cleveland's
message charging Germany with ap-
plying differential treatment to certain
American exports was great surprise.
He then proceeded to show that the
charges made by the president were
devoid of foundation. The presence of
Texas fever in cattle proved that pro-
hibition of importation of American
meats into Germany was necessary, but
the same measures were in existence
against other states than America.
Concerning the cancellation of the Ii
censes of the American companies, he
said that certain American insurance
companies doing business in Prussia
had lad their licenses revoked because
they would not conform to the laws
which were the same for Gcrman com
panies and foreign companies. If the
American companies would undertake
to conform to the laws nothing could
prevent them from reopening thei'
business. The matter, he said, was
purely German concern, over which
he could not admit the criticism of {
foreign government. Germany, he de
clared, would Loyalty continue to ad
here to her treaties, not allowing her
self to be frightened by threats.

FIVE TOILET SECRETS

When the eyes are weak the lashes
will frequently fall out, so that it is we'll
to have the eyes attended to. Bathing
them frequently with cold water is said
to be Strengthening, and it is, good to
add little boracic acid to it.
The use of rouge is a most pernicious
habit and one that when persistentiy
carried out works havoc with pores. A
most harmless rouge is the juice of
boiled beet root, very effectual while'i6
lasts, but the color fades quickly.
When the voice is at all husky the
throat and chest should be bathed two
or three times day with cold water,
and afterward rubbed briskly with o
towel until the skin is q perfect glow
A compress covered with cold water
will hasten the cure.
For infiamed and red eyelids the fol-
lowing lotion will give great relief. 1t
should be applied frequently and u
fresh piece of rag used each time. 1t
should be compounded by druggist as
follows: Vinum opii, one drachm; zinc
sulphate, eight grains; rose water,
eight ounces.
A loose, habby condition of the skin
Inay be due to bad state of health ami
low state of nerves. 1t will often be
removed by taking good tonic. A
wash made of tablespoonful of alum
in a pint of water will also be found
good for tightening the skin, and should
be wiped over the face several times a
day with a soft cloth.

verely simple ones. There are one or
two of the elaborate ones allowed in

Silk shades made to look like flowers

the other in n bewildering number.
Under all is a deep frill of white lace,
which softens any hard outlines.
Shades seem as necessary to lamps
Ms clothes to persons, and every tiny
| lamp, and even candle, must have its
appropriate covering. The collection
thus gotten together in an ordinary
drawing-room is apt to be kaleido
scopic in effect, and persons of severely
simple and expensive tastes are now
using the openwork metal, silver, brass
or iron, lined with some bright color
Certainly these have a more solid ant

just at Present.
The fashions in lamp shades are quite
different this autumn from those which
have been SO much the vogue for two
or three years past, and as the lamp
shade is considered almost as neces-
sary in a drawing-room as the lamp
itself. every woman is now at work re-
modelling and refurnishing them.
Of course everything in the empire
style is correct, and the favorite lamp
shades are those modelled on the shade
fashionable at that time. Medallions
representing Napoleon are let in at the
side of the new shades, even with the
somewhat startling incongruity of
chintz and lowered silk as the prin-
cipal material. The full petGcoat ef-
feet that has made the drawing-rooms
look SO dressy will he sadly missed,

down upon the linen and cut four
around the board. On one of these
embroider a spray of apple blossoms
in their own lovely pink and the let
tering in olive flo floss, the exact shade
of the silk selected for the puff.
When the embroidery is finished
press the linen carefully on the under
side and with it cover one side of one
disc. Turn the edges over and paste
them neatly and firmly, then line with
n plain piece of linen. Cover the second
disc, or the back of the case, with the
two remaining bits of linen, and place
all under u press to dry. Measure the
distance two-thirds round one of the
discs and cut a strip of silk about five
or six inches wide, just twice that
length. Turn over both edges twice,
as for an extremely narrow hem, then
whip each for its entire length and
draw up so. as to form puff. Place
the edges exactly even with those Of
the disc, as the drawing shows, and
overland them neatly and firmly, one
to each other. When that is done at
tach silk cord at each side and finish
each end with bow and tassels. The
watch can easily be slipped into the
opening and will be kept safely until
needed. The decoration as given here
is very pretty indeed, and may we'll
be exactly copied, but if you prefer any
other sort it is easy to substitute one
for the other. In any case the method
of making is the same and if you en-
broidery one flower or another the gem
eral directions remain the same.

After five years of incessant labor
and the expenditure of three million
dollars the task of Harvesting
Niagara and putting the force of the
cataract to industrial use is practl-

Of the work can be imagined from
the fact that the plant represents an
available force of four hundred and
fifty thousand horse power, or more
than a third of the power derived
from all the water wheels in the

Springfield, Mass, last week, re-
solved to ask Legislators to take act
ion on the matter of the preserva-
ton of our forests, which are rapidly
vanishing. A score of years ago
they covered seven hundred and
sixty million acres; today their area
is but three hundred and seventy-five
million acres. They are slashed,
burned, wasted and swept away
without a thought of future penal
ties, some of which may be not only
serious, but calamitous. In the last
forty years Michigan alone has lost
forty million dollars by forest fires
In thirty years Indiana has been
stripped of nearly four million acres
of forest. The government estimate
of the daily average cutting OF tim
Der in the United States is twenty
seven thousand five hundred acres
The Forestry Association will ash
