oon.Ts FOR THE SICK ROOM.

Don't be hurried and bustling and
fussy about the patient.
Don't appear anxious, how ever great
fuay be your anxiety.
Don't let stale flowers remain in the
sick room.
Don't allow an accumulation of med
icine bottles in sight of the patient.
Don't be unmindful of yourself if
you are in the responsible position of
nurse. To do faithful work you must
have proper food and stated hours of
rest.
Don't forget that kindness and ten
derness are needful to successful nurs-
ing. Human nature longs to be soothed
and comforted on all occasions when
it 10 out of tune.
Don't throw coal upon the fire. Place
it in brown paper bags and lay them
upon the fire. thus avoiding the noise,
which is shocking to the sick and sensi-
tive.
Don't neglect during the day to at
tend to necessaries for the night in the
way of nourishment and drink; that
the rest of the patient and the family
may not be disturbed.
Don't light a sick room ut night by
means of a gas jet or lamp burning
low; nothing impoverishes the dir
sooner. Use sperm candles or tapers
which burn in sperm oil.
Don't forget to have few coffee
grains handy to serve Us a deodorizer
when burnt on the coal. Bits of char
coal placed around the room are also
useful in absorbing gases and other
impurities.
Don't give n patient full glass of
water to drink from, unless he is al
lowed all he desires. If he can drain
the glass he will be satisfied; so regu-
late the quantity before handing it to
him.-Philadelphia Record.

THERE is much suffering in Cuba,
and a prospect that the hardships will
increase rapidly. The industries of the
island are generally suspended and
railway lines interrupted. Travel on
all roads is dangerous. The destruc-
ton of the sugar and tobacco crop
means loss of 500, 600, 900, to which
must be added the sacking and burn
ing of thousands of buildings. A fam
inc is certain in Havana and Matanzas,
where multitudes of laborers will soon
be without work or bread.
