Nursery Art.

A short time since new children's
ward was opened in one Of London's
hospitals. and its decorations were spe.
cially designed to suit the little in
mates. Long series of pictures repre-
senting all the well known inhabitants
Of fairyland-giants and monsters,
elves and sprites-fgured there, all
brought together to pass away the wea-
ry hours Of the poor little sufferers. The
idea is good one, and it is being car
ried out In the nurseries Of our private
houses in charming nursery wall papers
Of this kind. Why should not a wall
paper be made an exciting story Of
Jack the Giant Killer or to depict the
adventures Of Little Bo-peep or mar
shal the long array of animals that
were housed In the wooden Noahs ark
Of our childhood? Such bright and in
teresting surroundings in the midst Of
health are capital for children. For in

may well bless the skilled fingers and
clever brain that devised 80 soothing

HINTS FOR DYSPEPTlCS.
how TO Ala Nature In the Cure OF
This DiatressInE Malady.

Eat slowly, mastlcating the food very
thoroughly, even more so If possible
than is required IN health, says Public
Health Journal. The more time the
food spends in the mouth the less IL
will spend in the stomach. Avoid
drinking at meals; at most take few
sips of warm drink at the close of the
acter
In general, dyspeptic stomachs man.
age dry food better than that contain
ing much fluid. Eat neither very hot
nor cold food. The best temperature is
about that of the body. Avoid expos
ure to cold after eating. Be careful to
avoid excess in eating. Eat no more
than the wants Of the system require.
Sometimes less than is really needed
must be taken when digestion is very
weak. Strength depends not on what
is eaten, but on what is digested.
Never take violent exercise Of any sort,
either mental or physical, either just
before or just after meal. 1t is not
good to sleep Immediately after eating
nor within four hours OF meal. Never
eat more than three times a day, and
make the last meal very light For
many dyspeptics two meals are better
than more. Never eat morsel of any
sort between meals. Never eat when
very tired, whether exhausted from
mental or physical labor. Never eat
when the mind is worried or the tenn
per ruffied If possible to avoid doing so.
Eat only food that is easy Of diges-
tion, avoiding complicated and indiges-
tible dishes and taking but one to
three kinds at meal. Most persons
will be benefited by the use Of oatmeal,
wheat meal, cracked wheat and other
whole grain preparations, though many
will find it necessary to avoid vegeta.

Behold the dread Mt Shasta where it stands
Imperial midst the lesser heights and, like
Some mighty unimpassoned mind, companionless
And cold. The storms of Heaven may beat in wrath
Against it, but it stands in unpoluted
Grandeur stil and from the rolling msts upheaves
Its tower OF pride cen purer than before.
The wntry showers and white winged tempests leave
Their frozen tributes on its brow and it
Doth make of them everlasting crown.
Thus doth it, day by day and age by age,
DEFY each stroke OF time; still rising highest
Into Heaven
Aspiring to the eagles coudless height,
No human foot has stained its snowy side;
No human breath has dmmed the icy mirror which
1t holds unto the and stars and SOY reign
we may not grow familiar with the secrets
OF its hoary top, whereon the Genius
Of that mountain builds his glorious throne
Far lifted in the boundless blue, he doth
Encircle, with his gaze supreme the broad
Domlnons OF the West which lie beneath
His feet in pictures of sublime repose
No artist drew He sees the tall
Gigantic hills arise in slentness
And peace and in the long review of distance
Range themselves in order grand. He sees the sunlight
Play upon the golden streams which through the valleys
Aud overlooks the huge old western wall
10 view the birth place of undying Melody
Itself all light, when some loftiest cloud
Doth for while embrace it's cold forbidding
Form, that monarch mountain casts its mighty
Shadow down upon the crownless peaks below,
That, like inferior minds to great
Spirit stand in strong contrasted littleness
All through the long and Summary months of our
Most tranquil year, it points its icy shaft
On nlSh, TO catch the dazzling beams that fall
In showers of spendor round that crystal cone
And roll in floods of far magnicence
Away from that lone vast Reflector in
The dome of Heaven
Still watchful of the fertile
Vale and undulatng plains below, the grass
Grows greener in its shade and Sweeter bloom
The flowers. Strong purifier From it's snowy
Side the breezes cool waited to the peaceful
Homes of men," who shelter at it's feet and love
10 gaze upon its honored form, aye standing
There the guarantee of health and happiness
Well might it win communities so blest
To loftier feelings and to nobler thoughts
The great material symbol of eternal
Things And well ween in after years how
In the middle of his furrowed track the plowman
In some sultry hour will pause and wping
From his brow the dusty sweat with reverence
Gaze upon that hoary peak. The herdsman
Oft will rein his charger in the plain and drink
Into his inmost soul the calm sublimity:
And little children, playing on the green shall
Cease their sport, and, turning to that mountain

And she shall answer-"God -
