To freshen the air of sickroom, ground coffee should be sprinkled on a shovel or coal-scoop previously heated in the fire. A match should then be held to small piece of camphor-gum. and when this is alight it should be placed in the center of the shovel The burning coffee gives an aromatic aroma to the room. which is very re- freshing.
