Tie Sick "oom.

Every sick room should have large
vessel of clear water, frequently re-
newed, placed near the bed. This not
only absorbs much Of the hurtful va
por; but by it's evaporation, it softens
and tempers the atmosphere, doing
away with the dryncss which is SO try
ing and depressing to an invalid, or
even to persons in health, FOR that
matter. 1t has frequently been
shown by actual experiment that
troubled sleep and threatened insom-
mia are corrected by so simple thing
as the placing OF an open bowl Of
water near the sufferers bed. On
the same principle, water which has
been standing in an open vessel in a
sleeping room, or sick room, should
under no condition be used for drink
ing; nor should any liquid intended as
beverage be allowed to thus stand
open to contamination.

How BOw.Legs Are Made.

Mothers, in training their little ones
to walk, seem never to think Of how the
bones grow; that the bones in child
leg are soft, half cartilaginous, and
that it is an easy thing to bend them.
Hence the need Of being careful about
having their children walk too soon, or
Of keeping them on their feet too long
when they are first learning to walk.
The scnseless conduct Of many parents
in urging their children to walk pre-
maturely IS productive Of lasting in
jury. Long before soft bones ought
to have any strain put upon them, you
will see these poor infants made to
stand, and even to walk, and by the
time they are IA to 16 months old
their legs are bent very considerably.
Pitiful and permanent dcformities pro-
duced in this way arc seen on every
hand. Indeed, a person whose legs
have not been bent, more or less, eth
er outward or inward, by fond paren-
tel ambition. is almost al exception
among us. Under year let the child
creep; but do not let it walk, seldom,
indeed, stand, and then only for q
moment, and for a.year to Is or 20
months do not encourage it to walk
much, still less set it up on it's feet to
make it walk. Good Health.

The same account tell, that the
guests dispersed about midnight, and
those Of the wedding party were up at

as Mr.. Mauldin, the minister, was 60

After dinner the bride said goodby

Eating Dirt as Butter.

Eating earth is practiced all over
the world to certain extent, and is
not confined to the clay eating Indians
Of the far West. In some parts Of
the mountains Of Germany the natives
eat a certain kind Of clay spread on
their bread, calling it "stein butter"
stone butter. In upper Italy and Sar-
dinia kind Of clay is offered in the
markets for sale as food. In Northern
Sweden AMI the peninsula of Kola
kind Of earth, called bergmerl, noun
tain -four, is baked with the bread. In
Persia, too, large quantities of clay
are eaten. The natives of Africa are
great clay eaters, especially the Bo-
tocudos of the Orinico River. In
Nubia certain kind of earth is eaten
as medicine, aud on the island of
Timor the eating Of earth is connected
with tho religious ceremonies. The
cause for this widespread custom, ac-
cordipg to Dr.. Lasch, German scien-
tist who has just been investigating
the matter, is that the clay contains a
certain amount Of salt, which tastes
good to these primitive people. The
consequence Of habitual earth eating
is great distention Of the stomach,
an increase in the leanness of the eat
ers, and distention of the liver. When
a child of civilized parents shows a
disposition to eat earth or slate pen
ellis, as is often the case, there is a
physical cause for it, and the case
should be brought to the attention Of
the family physician.

By the death of Theodore Reynolds,
Monson loses another representative Of
prominent family. His death occurred
last week Thursday evening. The
cause was glandular throat and neck
trouble, the exact nature not being stated.
It is probable that the trouble is Of long
duration, but he took no medical advice
until within about two weeks as far as
known. EARLY in February the deceased
was in New York City and contracted a
cold which brought his trouble on in an
acute form, and finally caused his death.
For about two weeks it has been known
that his condition was serious, but his
death was not expected 80 soon. Thurs
day the doctors removed a part of the
growth that obstructed his throat, and he
was very weak. Notwithstanding his
condition and in spite Of his attendants he
got up from his bed twice Thursday. The
last time he fell in swoon and never re-
covered conciousness. Theodore Reynolds
was the youngest son of the late Joseph

Reynolds, and was born in Monson in 1S43.
He received his education In the public
schools and in Monson academy. He was
associated with his brother, r. M. Rey-
nolds, in the woolen business, after the
death Of his father, until about two years
ago, when his brother died. The death
Of r. M. Reynolds left him sole heir of
the undivided property left by Joseph
Reynolds, which includes the two wooden
mills and other real estate and personal
property. He also became the owner Of
the large straw shop at the south end,
bnilt by r. M. Reynolds since the death
of his father. Naturally, speculation has
been rife as to what disposition the de-
ceased would make of the large manufac-
turing properties thus left. What his ulti-
mate intention was will never be known.
Since the death of r. M, Mr.. Reynolds
has given his attention to the manage
ment of the estate and the Strengthening
of complications incident to such large
holdings. The deceased was financier

erty with judgment. He was a careful
and fortunate investor, and was heavy
owner of gilt edged securities. For re-
creation. art and literature had attrac-
tions for him. His collection of rare
books, especially Bibles, is surpassed by
few in the country. He was also a col
lector of coins, and his home at South
Monson contains many paintings Of value,
which he had purchased at various times.
He took much pleasure in showing his
treasures, and people from far and near,
interested in such matters, have been cor
daily received and courteously entertain
ed at the old Reynolds homestead. The
deceased enjoyed his home and preferred
the quiet of study and research, rather
than the excitement of politics or the dis
traction Of society. He was never mar
ried. He leaves half brother, Eli Whit
ney Reynolds of Medway, niece, Miss
Esther Holmes of Monson, and two ne eph.
eWs, who reside out of town. The
funeral was held Saturday afternoon at
o'clock, and the burial was in the family
lot in the Main street cemetery.
