Frost, FroIic and Business.

The wind over frozen ponds and lakes,
over snow-felds of plains and open coun-
try, is heavily charged with frost and
fine particles of frozen matter. 1t is the
most penetrating way for chill to set IN.
Sudden warmth, sudden chill! and seVere
colds. Girls and boys skating, driving
for pleasure or business and men at work
afeld know the difference in temperature.
Yet the youngsters skate away and with
mouth open laughing take in dose of
sore throat. Drivers and worEmen throw
aside wraps and all know the next day
from soreness and stiffness what sudden
chill means. Now the best thing to do
when housed is to rub well at once with
ST. Jacobs Oil. If you do you will not
have sore throat or if you are stiff and
sore, it will cure by warming the sur
face to throw out the chill.

is a tall tenement, where woman
washes dishes at one window and lit
tie child raps on the panes. There are
many glimpses of many sorts of people
to be had through the windows Of that
tenement, and every hour of the day the
kaleidoscope shifts a different scene-a
motley medley of struggling city life
There is a vista of Chinatown down the

There's a handorgan playing in the

There is an Italian wedding party on

Sold for a Song.

Some years ago an auction was held
in a poor part of Dublin of the personal
effects of an old French woman, ru-
mored to have been an exile from her
native land, who had died at the Irish
capital. Among the faded silks and a
few bits of old lace a necklace Of dirty
looking green stones was discovered. and
was bought as a chance by a couple of
shrewd Jew peddlers for G5.
On taking the stones to a well-known
jeweler, he promptly offered 1880, which
sum the owners at once Indignantly re-
fused, and sold the necklace (of purest
emeralds) for $1,000 in London. After
ward Lord Rosebery, on his marriage,
purchased it for something like 100000!
The old FrenchWoman's mother had
been attached to the court of France
and the emeralds had once formed part
of the crown Jewels.

History and a Poem.

''The Burial of Sir John Moore" was
by Rev. Charles Wolfe. Nearly all its
incidents are incorrectly stated, as the
burial did not take place at night, but
by daylight, and the French, seeing
gathering in the cemetery, and not know
ing its purpose opened fire on it from
a battery and brought the funeral serv-
ices to a hasty conclusion.

Liquid Food an Aid to Digestion, and Cold
Drinks Refresh Heated Persons.
The incessant adjuration not to drink
with meals we have always held the re-
verse Of truth from theory and from ex-
N,erience. The latter is that dry meals
cause heartburn, the former shows that
splitting up the meal Of solid food with
liquid acts precisely like splitting logs
Of wood into kindling for the fire, giving
the digestive fluid easy access to the
small particles, instead Of sizzling and
making gas on the outside Of a wad Of
thick paste. And the talk Of diluting the
gastric juice is nonsense, because the
surplus fluid drains quickly through the
stomach. Better drink too much than
too little.
We are glad now to be REINFORCED by
an English sporting man, Mr.. Horace
Hayes, who says that drinking nothing
during or for an hour and half after
meals is the best Of ways to train down
weight, but he cannot do it because it
always brings on rheumatism-probably
from the solid food producing overcon-
centrated salts in the circulation, and
consequent deposits in the muscular
fiber. The same writer says that the no.
ton about animals being injured by Civ.
ing them drink when heated is stupid
and cruel piece of barbarism; that it
only does them harm when the drink is
very cold, by producing nervous shocks
as it would to man, while if the chill
is taken off it first, it refreshes heated
horse to take good drink just as it does

.nu scKROOM NURSE.

Her Duties, Her Authority and Her Pow.
ers For Evil or Good.
No person has greater power for evil
or for good than has the nurse in the
sickroom. Her actual authority is Sec
ond to that Of the physician, but her op-
portinities for exercising it are almost
unlimited If physician in country
town wishes to secure trained nurse,
he should telegraph OR write to the
nurses directory, to some hospital or
physician whom he knows, in tho near
est adjacent city, stating for what sort
Of case he will require nurse, what
ne will pay and when he will require
her. Such message should secure for
him almost Immediately whatever serv-
ice he requires.
The traits of character which make
the ideal nurse are patience, obedience,
tact and good sense and temper. The
nurses costume should consist of CAM
brio or seersucker gown, with white
cap, cuffs and apron. Wooden gowns
should never be permitted in sickroom.
Her authority is absolute after the ply
sician's. She must obey his instructions
to the letter, even if they are against
her Judgment. She has no discretion in
the matter.
But the patient and the patient 8 fam
lily must obey her. She must never be
allowed to disobey the physicians Or
ders, and the first symptom of any such
behavior should be reported Immediate
ly to the physician. All his instructions
with reference to treatment, diet and
care should be followed faithfully. The
fact that her patient is a man should
make no difference in her behavior in
the sickroom. He is patient, not q
man, and she a nurse, not a woman.
Whenever nurse disobeys physician'e
orders or behaves in any manner which
renders her dismissal advisable, the
family Or the patient should request the
doctor to discharge her at once and to
supply her substitute. A word from him
is sufficient to insure her departure.

I was from the west? It's true, but how
did he know it? Would you know it?
Am marked? Have any tag on me to
