Thought for the Invalid

Invalid cooking is a most important
tant and interesting subject, and one
which demands a knowledge of die
tetics as well as taste, tact and pa
thence.
First and foremost in dealing with
an invalid we must remember that he
rs out of balance mentally as well as
physically. In the days Of GONZALES
cence, when life is beginning to be
worth while, the small things Of ev-
cry day will interest and little things
will irritate, which would never be
noticed in health.
IL is not necessary to mention that
the tray should be as immaculate in
its appointments, no matter how SIM
pie, as are all other things about an
invalid. Where laundry needs TO be
considered, there are any number Of
pretty paper napkins which can be
bought in different designs and colors.
For a child the bright colors will be
interesting and a variety will be a
source Of entertainment. In case of
infectious diseases paper napkins are
quite a necessity The small paper
cases, too, may be used for tiny
custard or bit of dessert
A flower or two on the tray will be
most welcome. The tiny vases which
hold a small bunch of violets or a
single rose are well adapted for use
on a tray
Set the tray as carefully as a place
is laid at the table, and in the same
order. A small pot Of steaming tea
which may be poured by the invalid
is an item to be remembered.
Never ask a patient what he would
like to eat or drink Let his food be
a surprise, as it will taste better.
Do not watch every mouthful he
eats, for some people do not enjoy the
sensation. Do not serve fried foods
to a sick person, nor food in any
large quantity. II is much better for
them to want more than be surfeited

Now ! rode upon a Swift Train
called the Limited, and it was going
some.
And suddenly it stopped at a place
in the midst of the Tall Grass; Meth
er was there a Station in the place.
And all the Passengers Smelt an I'm
holy Smell. And divers Of them Got
Out.
And, behold, from the Axle of one
of the Wheels came forth Flame and
Smoke.
And one of the Passengers said,
1t is an Overheated Journal.
But one of the Train Men answered
and said,
She's got a Hot Box, and its Dol
lars to Doughnuts she's got Busted
Brass.
Then they carried Water from the
tender of the Locomotive, and poured
on Seven Buckets full, so that the
Water ran all about the Car Wheels,
and the Water Kissed when it touch
ed the Axle, and the Steam did Arise.
And when it ceased to give forth
Steam then damned they in Cotton
Waste, and poured in Dope; and the
Conductor shouted, All Aboard.
And the Train moved on.
But in ten miles it Stopped; and we

And finally we came to a side track,
and the Conductor yelled,
All passengers take the Rear Car.
We're going to Cut This Out
And they Cut it Out.

Smoke of its Torment Still arose.

and every Member is a wheel. And

unto a Train that hath an Hot Box.
And if so be the Hot Box is in the

the Sunday School, and beginneth TO
Smoke Up whenever the Superintend-
ent Requesteth all Teachers to Pre-
pare their Lessons and Come on Time,
