who, however, arose also, at the same
time slvly putting a couple of quarter
sections of cake into his pockets to eat

Oh, Mr.. Jo-n-es-ee!
"Nell's voice and gestures, however,
were alike lost to the occupants of the
wagon, and the vehicle ratified on.

Well, Nelly, answered her father,

doesn't exactly disapprove of it, nor
does the Westminster. though think

the vehicle a shakeup like unto a min

moment Highfield struggled in the

the Squire, for the time being, had

when l entered the hall Brother MAJ

few hours experiences. He had gone
into the kitchen and lit his pipe from
the fire in the cook stove and was now
out in the hall sitting cross-legged in
a rocker, great volumes of smoke en-
anating from his ministerial mouth,
coming out in great rings, which rose
above his head, whirlng, circling, in
tertwining, interlapping, interviewing,
collapsing,and finally losing themselves
in the surrounding atmosphere. He
was making up for lost time and was
the picture of contentment.
Squire Brownlow and Benny soon
came out with their pipes and, each

For eonxalsaesnta

Occupation as q remedial agent has
been used for mental cases for many
years. It has been found that patients
minds have been diverted by useful
work and a channel found for their
motor restfulness. Lately, movement
has been started for the teaching OF
handicraft to chronic invalids and con-
valescents; and the blessing of work
for them has been illustrated in sew
eral hospitals and other institutions.
Especially in cases Of neurasthenia has
occupation been proved beneficial, and
some trained nurses have become pro-
ficient in certain lines in order to teach
convalescent patients, and one nurse
formerly connected with Boston hos
pital, but now doing nothing but teach
ing occupation work has written ex-
excellent book on the subject.
In regard to what she has done in
this direction at the Clifton Springs
Sanitarium, Miss Mary Irving Hustled
writes entertainingly OF what has been
done at that establishment and else
where. The department OF industry at
the sanitarium was opened in Decem-
ber. ana already, Miss Hustled says,
the good effects upon the physical and
mental condition Of the patients has
been most gratifying.
There are two classes of patients es-
pecially to whom the opportunity for
light work is boon. she says. SurSi-
cal patients who are so far GONZALES
cent that they no longer need the con-
slant attention Of a nurse have many
weary hours whose tedium is greatly
relieved by following Of handicraft
such as basket weaving, which gives
an outlet for theimagination in vary
ing the patterns and puts no strain on
the eyes. Chronic invalids also. whose
confinement to bed for weeks at
time is most wearisome, find relief and
entertainment in the same or like oc-
cupation. Those able to leave the bed
are taught leather carving or rug weav-
ing. These handicrafts not only direct
the thoughts and keep the mind from
dwelling unprofitably or injuriously on
the physical condition.

Adhesive Plaster Stunts

friend Of mine, who is doctor.
keeps a spool of adhesive or surgeons
plaster at home for the use OF the
family, says DR.. Lucy Eames in The
Mothers Magazine for May. A spool
Of zinc oxide plaster, which is the
firmest. containing strip ten yards
long and an inch and half wide, costs
about rs cents, and it last for weeks.
A clean cut or wound can be prop
erIy dressed by just cutting a piece to
cover it. If The wound is likely to sup
puraie. cover with clean cotton, which
is held in place by straps OF the plaster.
Strained fingers or wrists can be
strengthened by applying a band OF
The plaster tightly around the parts. A
Simple way to hold any dressing IN
place over broad surface like the
back or over a peculiar surface like
the toe. is to use strips OF the adhesive,
which is easily torn lengthwise.. II
the shoe rubs a particular spot, apply
a piece Of adhesive and the trouble Is
over.
or course it sticks. and when it is
removed il leaves dirty streak. This
may be removed by applying alcohol,
then soap and water.
And then the household uses are ga
lore. Labels are made Of it and written
in ink: for tin and glass jars, which
must be occasionally washed, they are
far more durable than paper labels. In
deed, the writer has seen the new pa
bies in the hospitals labelled by
pand Of adhesive about the wrist, with
the name written upon it.
Many cracked. articles which do not
get wet can be mended by strips or
adhesive plaster. A broken umbrella
handle has been splinted up to do
good service by its use. Rubbers tear
ing out at the backs may be mended by
Tasting a strip inside the tear. Cracks
in ones shoes can even be repaired
Temporarily, being blackened with shoe
polish. The broken handle OF Mrs.
Watts sad-iron" was repaired by
wrapping it round and round with ad-
hesive. Pasteboard boves which nave
proved themselves useful may be thus
mended. We saw the doctor deftly
mend a three-cornered tear in his over
coat bv placing adhesive plaster under
it and then mixing the white part. BOOKS
whose backs have broken away may oe
repaired by pasting long strip pc
tween the back and the fly leaf. A hot
water bag may be thus repaired, II IL
