extremely susceptible to cold and the
least change of temperature, hence
the absolute necessity of having the
sheets Thoroughly warmed before ven
turing to use them.
The pillow or pillows not in i'm
mediate use are first changed. The
nurse gently and quietly passes her
arm under the patients head and
shoulders, raising them only just
enough to allow the easy withdrawal
of the soiled pillow with the Olsen
gagged hand; then, with the same
hand, she takes a clean pillow and
slips it under the head, even as the
other hand is slowly withdrawn, leav-
ing both free to adjust the pillow to
nicely. Never shake or pat a p;i.
low on the bed.
The bedclothes are then loosened
at the head, side and feet on that
side of the bed furthest from the
patient; the upper clothing is now
tucked well around him, and the
soiled under sheet is pushed up close
against his side
The clean under sheet, which. has
previously been rolled (see diagram)
is now laid on the mattress, the
rolled side against the patient, and
the loose side toward the nurse, who
forthwith proceeds to tuck it we'll in
at the head and sides. The rubber
shceting and draw sheet are treated
in precisely the same manner, max
ing in all three rolls, one against the
other, next the soiled sheet by the
patients side.
Now, if the patient is not too weak
or helpless, he can easily be moved
over the "rolls' to the freshly made
side of the bed, but if this is impos-
sible, then some one on the opposit E
side has to give the nurse little as
sistance in the following manner:

SNAKES AS HOUSE PETS.
They Are Said to Be Far Super i0r
to Cats as ExterminatOrs of All
Sorts of Vermin.

In tropical countries it haslong been
customary to have pet snake to keep
the house free from rats and mice, and
the Washington Post asserts that the
practice has been introduced into this
country. One dealer in birds and ami
mails particularly recommends pur-
chasing a Mexican bull snake.
These, he explains, differ from the
Florida variety in being light yellow,
whereas the latter are coal black.
These snakes are non-poisonous and
are far superior to cats as vermin ex-
terminators. You can turn one of
them into house or barn overrun with
rats, mice, cockroaches, and the like,
and in a marvelously short time the
place will be rid of them. All that is
necessary when winter comes on is to
provide warm place for them to
crawl into and hibernate until spring.
They have become quite popular in
Washington, and many people are
keeping them about their barns and
stores in place of lazy, overfed and in
different cats. The repugnance that
every one feels for snake soon passes
away when they have reptile that is
perfectly harmless, that can be
trained to answer call or whistle, and
that will eat out of a dish when vermin
becomes scarce and he has nothing
to prey upon.

THE lNVALID'S BATH.
Make 1t So M Not to Disturb
the Patient

One of the most essential things
In nursing is to learn how to change
the bed clothes of helpless patient,
without uncovering or disturbing him
or her unnecessarily. This is not
easy, particularly if the sick person
is stout and temporarily unconscious,
or, for some special reason, as in oP-
erative cases, is not allowed to turn,
or even move a limb. This, says the
New York Tribune, is the time when
nurse shows her skill, patience and
tact.
Without fuss, without hustle, with
out noise, she has everything in read
lness-sheets, pillow cases, draw
sheet, etc., all aired and warmed.
Then she places a protected hot-wa-
ter bag at her patients feet, for it
must be remembered that, owing to
their lowered vitality, the sick are

she pushes the soiled sheet, bit by
bit, from under him, while her assist
ant In like manner draws it toward
herself, being careful meanwhile t.
keep the patient well covered.
The same process is gone through
with the ''rolls'' of clean sheets and
the rubber, which are drawn out by
the assistant, then tucked in smooth
ly and tightly on her side, according
to former instructions.
The upper clothing is not difficult
to change. The warm sheet and
blanket are laid smoothly but
loosely over the entire bed,
and the nurse, having previous
ly loosened the coverings round the
patient, stands at the foot of the
bed, and gradually draws them away
from under the fresh clothing, while
her assistant at the head of the bed
holds the clean sheet and blanket in
position and as close as possible ia
the patient. This over, nothing fur.
Their remains to be done but to tuck
in the sheet and blanket at the foot,
and ''tidy up generally.

changing and making there are

served.
If in the course of any ministration
a nurse sees that her patient is faint,
tired or weak, she must at once de-
sist, attend to the emergency, and
watch and wait awhile. Eer business
is essentially to help the sick one re-
cover his health, in face of which the
making of bed or the giving of
bath, etc., is a secondary considera
ton.
A person taking care of the sick
must never be jerky, either in her
manner, her speech or her actions.
She must always be prompt her
self, but she must never be guilty of
hurrying her patient.
Good nursing may be defined as ac-
curate knowledge intelligently en-
ployed through the medium of sound
common sense.
