Every woman is likely to find herself | some time in charge of a sickroom, and if it be a new charge the knowledge of a few simple rules will be almost indispensable. The first point to be considered in select- ing a room forthe sick is that it should be, if possible, on the side of the house re- ceiving the morning or noonday sun. This is a rule that is unvarying. In summer or winter the sun is conducive to health. The proper temperature to maintain is frum 65 to 75 degrees F. Ono of the best | appliances for cooling the room is an elec- tric fan which blows over a tub or bowl of ice. A simpler plan is to use an ice bag of rubber or oiled silk. In ordinary cir- cumstances the patient’s face and neck | may be sponged several times a day with cool water and the palms of the hands rubbed with ice. There are a large num- ber of drugs for lowering febrile tempera- ture, but they should only be used when prescribed by a physician. The same cau- tion must be observed as to tho use of ice packs and poultices. Tepid sponge baths, to which bay rum, vinegar or alcohol solu-

}

tion has been added, are cooljng and grate- ful to a sufferer in the sumiuer time, and may usually be given at least once a day. —American Queen.

Has she a carriage, lots of sick folks, poorer folk, kinsfolk, strangers, get what she calls ‘‘a breath of fresh air;’’ she might say of her way of deoing it, “‘a breath of heaven,'’ says Frances Courtney Baylor of ‘‘the good woman.’’ Hasshe a hothouse, the hospitals, the churches, the governesses, get lovely flowers, and the old and sick around her are not forgotten. Has shea fine library, she will evep lend her books to the ‘‘living epistles’’ Rhout her, that they may be diverted and cheered in hours of gloom and uurest. Has she an opera box, she often fills it with people who haven’t. Has she tickets for other entertainments, cook goes to the theater with her brother Bob. Has she none of these worldly advantages, the lovely wom- an is still the lovely woman everywhere, at all times, under al) circumstances, God bless her! The constant practice of the small kindnesses, courtesies, charities of life, have made her what she is, and there are few things on earth that are lovelier. — Exchange.

Chemicals In the Laundry.

One of the safest chemicals is ammonia, Two tablespoonfuls of ammonia will be sufficient to soften four gallons of water. A small amount of washing soda, dissolved first in boiling water and stirred through atub of cold water, will accomplish the same result, but when soda is used in large quantities it will rot the strongest fabric. Borax, though somewhat more expensive, isasafer article. It scems to have the power of starting the dirt.—New York World.

Soiled Clothes.

Soiled cloths should be removed from the living rooms as soon as possible and placed in bags or baskets and cc~ered, They must be perfectly dry when put away in order to prevent the growth of the mold plants, which with the dust will form mildew. The body clothes are the most soiled of ail the clothing, the excretions from the body with the dust forming a fermentation which must be dissolved with soap and water.——New York Journal.

A Salad Bowl,

If you have no salad bowl, you can ar- range a very good substitute thus: Choose a good sized platter, arrange on it three large, regularly shaped cabbage leaves, crisp and fresh, chosen from a large head, with the stem ends toward the center of the dish. Fill the salad into each leaf, and lay a few nasturtium blossoms or a cluster of parsley where the leaves join.—Detroit Free Press.

Three Varieties.

There are three varieties of women, financially speaking: First, the woman whose dollar bas 90 cents in it; second, the woman whose dollar has 100 cents in it; third, the woman whose dollar has 110 cents, On this margin of 20 cents in the dollar family fortunes rise and fall.—Ex- shange.
