SAVING iNvALlD's NERVES.

Silk petticoats, starched wear
ables and creaking shoes should be
avoided by the attendant in an in
valid's room. Whispering is intense
ly irritating to a sick person, who
naturally concludes that his symp-
toms are so bad that they have to be
discussed in an undc-tone. Conver-
sation between the nurse and Wis
itor should be in a low tone of voice,
but quite distinct. If there is any
thing to be said that the invalid
must not hear, it had better be said
in the hall, entirely out of his sight,
earshot and Imagination. A small
table in the hall outside the sick
room, will be appreciated by the
nurse and by whoever has to deliver
and call for the invalid's food tray.

COMFORT VS.. LINCOLN CABIN
Young Admirers of Honest Abe" Pre-
fer Hut Of Their Own Construc-
ton to Elaborate Home.

On a side hill of Sam Cheeseman's
beautiful country home at Stop IL
on the c., P. & E., his two little
boys, Marcus and Sam, together
with their chums, young Tremaine,
Rob Lewis and one or two others,
have built a stanch little log cabin,
weatherproof, where they do a bit of
cooking in a brick fireplace and
gather to enjoy outdoor life. They
built the cabin without help, using
the limbs of trees cut down for the
material, and filling in the chinks
with plaster. They have a lot of fun
with their outdoor sports.
"But why do you want to live in
a log cabin" asked the elder Gross
man, "when you have a big, comfort
able house ready for your"
Marcus was plainly embarrassed,
Then, "Abe Lincoln lived in a log
cabin" he replied.
From which it may be inferred
that the youngster is not without
certain political ambitions.

LIFE cENTERs IN THE HOME
Simplicity and Comfort ls lnvariable
Rule Throughout Kingdom
Of Holland.

Housekeeping in Holland means
work without end. In the larger
cities, where the customs of other
lands r adopted to a considerable
extent, home life is conducted on less
strictly Dutch lines. But in the
smaller towns and villages the house
wife of today manages her home in
much the same name as her grand
mother did.
The continual scrubbing, rubbing
and polishing is supposed to be the
result of the easy access to such an
abundant water supply. There is
another reason, however, why floors,
furniture and metal utensils must
be constantly cleaned and polished.
The climate being moist and damp,
the housekeeper must exert herself
in the effort to Danish rust and mold.
The Hollanders have very simple
tastes in their foods. The housewife
does not go to market. The market
comes to her. The vegetable dealer
with his cart (often drawn by Dogs
comes to the door. He sells, not ac-
cording to or weight but ac-
cording to the number of persons to
be fed. Milk is also brought in little
carts to the house and fish is sold
alive and killed and cleaned at the
door.
The Dutch are a simple and home
ly people. it is said the men are
slow to pursue outside interests be-
cause they are made SO comfortable
at home. Their whole life centers
there. Prosperity is displayed more
in luxury of comfort than in osten-
tation and this is witnessed in the
homes.

That a SIS bill is sometimes sery-

proved the other day by a man in a

began to polish the spectacles. The
operation was carried on in the or

He rubbed one lens, then breathed
on it and rubbed it again. He re-

ONE BIG EXCEPTION.

Thompson used to love to tell whv
he was afraid "The Old Homestead"
would new be a great popular sue
cess. Actors who saw it at rehearsals
were moved to tears and to laughter
just as thousands of theatergoers
have since been moved. 1t is a we'll
known stage superstition that when
actors like a play at rehearsal the
public will not like it when offered
for regular performance. "The Old
