CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
II there is any suspicion of damp
ness in bedroom it is probably due,
if there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a plotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of it's power to retain infec-
tion of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala.
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waXed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as we'll as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

Goose is Intelligent Bird.

A farmer would scarcely believe
that a goose requires only about 60
hours in order to prepare it for the
foothghts and critical audience, and
that a common pig, which has been
bought in the market, will in 80 hours
be competent to blossom forth AS an
actor. According to Mr.. CLYDE Pow
ers, trainer of wide experience and
much patience, it takes a duck about
three days to learn how to march on
the stage, to follow the chorus. and TO
march off again at the proper time: it
takes a chicken week or more. and
turkey cannot grasp the art of act
Ing before six months time. Mr.. Pow
ers has tried to train a peafowl but
he finds that it is impossible. A goose
is the most intelligent of all the featb-
cred tribe, and goose is also the
only one of the domestic fowls that

LONG MINDED BORES
FEW STORY-TELLERS X w
WHEN TO QUIT.
General ForgetfuIness of the Fact
That "Brevity is the Soul of Wit"
Widow Bedott a Good
Example.

"a little party of us the other night
at one of the clubs endured an infiic-
ton In the shape Of a story teller
who did not know when to quit said
member of one of the prominent
New York clubs. IF he had been able
to make serial of his narrative,
with the thrilling points at the chap
ter ends and given it in broken doses,
one or two chapters at time, his
story might not have been so hard to
endure, but the trouble was that
and as he was a man whom no one
would care to Offend his listeners
were Outwardly placid and inwardly
profane.
Memory for detail is an excellent
thing to have if you are in a business
involving a great many small mat
tiers, and, indeed, most callings are of
this character, but the man or woman
whose memory is so tenacious that
it brings up by association a host of
particulars clustered round an event,
and insists on telling them all, is one
of the worst nuisances known to So
ciety. In Flush Times in MISSISSIPPI
p1, an old book of southern river sto-
r1es, there is a character endowed
with such a memory and his acquaint-
ances sometimes inflicted him on
newcomer by inducing him to tell the
earthquake story The principal fea-
ture of this narrative was the fact
that nobody had ever heard the end of
If for thprn ctr
ries hanging to it that had to be told
nrst, and the narrator wandered out
OF the main road into so many devil
GUS paths and byways that something
always happened to break off the
story before the denouement was
reached. While the yarn was
progressing the company would slip
out one by one and leave the stranger
to his fate
"The Widow Bedott is a first-class
example of one of these particular
memories at its best, or, rather worst,
for she could not tell how the late
lamented said We are all poor crit
tiers without also telling about a
thousand other things that occurred
to her while jogging along toward the
end Of her journey.
Most of us have Widow Bedotts in
our own acquaintances, some of us
nave heard stories like the earth
quake story, but nobody ever listened
long to Widow Bedott or the teller
OF a never-ending story without won
derlng how people like these ever get
through life at all, or how they sue
coed in telling anything. The fault
is one OF mental perspective; to them
all occurrences are of equal impor-
lance, all objects are of the same
size and so they find it impossible to
make a selection, and try to tell

The money will be used in fixing up a little dressmaking establishment for the young woman. She will be free in few weeks.

It was after the girl got through testifying in her own behalf that she won hun dreds of friends and sympathizers. Just before the case was about to be given to the jury she pleaded guilty to manslaughter
