BOON FOR THOSE DEmENTED,
Newly Invented strsit-Jaeket T
 VIII save Mnch suffering.


 From Washington Times: J. N. Hooper of Baltimore applied for patent papers on an invention that promises .o be Of incalculanle assistance to hos oitals and public and private asylums EseFe insane. delirious or unruly =. ..s 9fe handled. The invention $ l--. Y -s a rest sheet and strait jacket ssI is a combination of both. hoidiEl tae patient securely and eom- fortabiy without even the aid of an at tendazt All the hospitals have felt the need of just such an invention as has been perfected by MT. Hooper. and hospital attendants in general will hail with delight the advent of the sheet and jacket that will save both mauy struggles with a wild sufferer and in many cases personal injury of some sort to either the patient or the nurse. The patent is especially to protect in sane or delirious patients, and can be adjusted to any bed whatsoever. It can be affixed as readily to a cot or a sur gieal table, and the patient is held in such way as not alone to avoid per- sonal injury, but also to prevent the exposure of any part of the body. This will be especially advantageous in many cases where exposure to the air Is especially deleterious to the suffer- er's chances of recovery. The pa- tient may be left entirely alone without fear, for the strongest man is utterly helpless when under the sheet. The sheet is made of heavy cotton duck. which can be both laundered and ster- ilized, thus fulfilling all hygienic con- aitions. The sheet fits close around the neck of the prostrate patient, be- ing edged with chamois to avoid ehaf- ing. The arms cone through two openings Tn the sheet and are held down in ehamois lined duck trap ar- engagement that gives ease yet security. The feet are strapped in like manner, being covered with an extra flap of cotton duck to keep off flies and air. This extra flap gives certain freedom to the feet that would be impossible If placed under the main sheet which Is drawn down tight by the fastenings. These are made in such way as to be impossible to tear out. The head can be turned and the body to some ex- tent, but the most frantic struggles would be productive of no harm on the part of the patient Two extra straps can be run across the body if deemed necessary. The device has been in use in the city hospital h Baltimore for the past six months, and is given ths highest endorsement.

Took Ii ALI Rirht.

This rich old uncle is O bachelor
and spends his summers in sort OF
hermitage on an inland lake. When
he comes to spend a month or so with
his brother in Detroit it is the uncle's s
chief delight to tell his young nephews
of his boyhood escapades. He never
told of a prank that he did not close
with the declaration that boys are not
what they used to be and that he was
convinced that it was bad sign for
the future.
Uncle breads a fire and never re-
tires in q new sleeping place without
taking his bearings carefully with O.
view to learning the speediest and
surest way of escape. The nephews
learned OF this and naturally decided
to- show unc!e that the spirit of boy
hood was still existent.
It happened to be the first night
there was snow on the ground. At 1
a. m. the youngest nephew, not yet
8, rushed along the hallway by uncles
door, Justify yelling "Fire !" Uncle
landed in the middle of the floor with
one motion, never stopped to make a
toilet, threw open window. sprang
upon the roof of the veranda and was
rushing to shin down post, when
the other two nephews opened ter
rife assault with snowballs. During
the minute of confusion required to
take in the situation he was plastered
from his bald head to his bare feet,
dove back through the window, went
shivering back to bed and swore
'scand'l F."
His first idea was to have the boys
thrashed, and thrashed plenty. AS
the goose6esh began to leave and lie
felt the welcome glow of warmth, he
chuckled, then laughed aloud. Next
day he came down town and made
a will. Each one of those boys will
be we'll fxed.-Detroit Free Press.

The w rlOueer.

The word queer has a remarkable
origin attributed to it. One night,
when the performance at Drury Lane
was finished, the celebrated Quin,
many of whose jokes are still remem-
bered, offered to bet young noble
man $500 that next morning word
would be in universal use which had
never been heard before. The noble
man accepted the wager and left the
theatre. Then Quin summoned all
the 'supers, who happened to be
very numerous, and gave each large
piece of chalk. He told them to go
to the leading thoroughfares of Lon
don and write at intervals on the flags
the word "Gueer." Quin's orders
were faithfully carried out, and, on
the following morning, of course,
people were astonished-the word
was i'll everybody's mouth. The great
actor with little difficulty made his
claim to the noblemau's bank note,
while bequeathing n new word to the
language.
