A WARNING TO THE MOTHERS PRONE TO PLAY WITH DRUGS.

Information for the Nurse—H»nd*omely Decorated Luncheon Room*—Girls Wlio Are Daring Swlmmim—A Sermon on

Drawing for Church. There is no doctor set expensive as the domestic doctor, and none more frequently and fatally employed. It very often seems to the mother of a family too trivial an affair to send for the real doctor evary time that the child ails slightly. Sho is trained to small economies and fears the expense, and die thinks the doctor may laugh at her, or be vexed at being called from more important cases to one so trifling and then to have the doctor—why, the child must be so ill that the thought of it frightens her. Thus she takes the chances, and applies! the remedies herself and perhaps there was nothing the matter that her little dose could not remedy and perhaps there was some great evil at work, and her dose was no better than deadly poison.

For it is not she, the totally ignorant practitioner, who can detect the firat symptoms of scarlet fever or diphtheria or peritonitis but, for all that, she unhesitatingly gives for the fever and malaise lihat she does detect a dose of physic that destroys all the little patient's chanccs, and then she calls in the doctor only when hope may perhaps be over.

There are really few remedies that it is safe to administer without skilled advice, and those are the simplest, and might all be intluded in a list comprising only hot water, eastor oil and a very little tincture of rhubarb. When a child has been indulging in illicit food, swallowing cnerry stones or eating unripe raspberries, whoso hard seeds lodge in the little sac that seems to be in the bowels for the express purpose of making trouble, the poor mother's first idea is to give it at onco a relieving and discharging potion, and sho puts the child under immediate sentence of death in doing so, tho physic having an inflammatory influence, which is the very thing to Ixs avoided.

And, on tho other hand, when a child gives evidence of a diarrheal disorder of the bowels, the poor mother flies to her medicine closet, takes down the phial of chalk mixture and admires herself for stopping the immediate symptoms, not knowing that the fever and distress and worse ensuing symptoms are due to the effect of the chalk mixture, which prevents the system from relieving itself, and that she should havo given instead an unloading and clearing dose of castor oil. That she is deterred from giving the oil by the difficulty of making a child swallow the nauseous -draught is not to be allowed in her excuse for tho child need not know what is given, and there are many ways of making it tasteless besides that of administering it in capsules for, when given in wine, beaten up with the white of an egg, as if for what is called "egg nog," with some sugar and a dash of lempn juice added, or a drop of essence of peppermint, the child will think it is having some unusual indulgence granted because it does not feol well, remembering to its advantage the old nursery lines:

Oh, yes, not well you're very sick. I don't believe it's true. Vou only want to coax mamma

To mako nice things for you.

Of course in the wilderness, on remote farms and suburbs, the mother of a family must, in spite of any danger from ignorance, keep many remedies on hand and administer them as best sho can, because a physician is unattainable there at short notice. But, in that case, as much heir duty as it is to have tho medicines, it is to know how and when to administer them and so sho must make her own a sufficient knowledge of the simpler and more common ailments to be able to treat thorn properly in their preliminary stages and this ought to be as much apart of every girl's education as bread making, sewing, reading and tho multiplication table.

But when a doctor is in the next street or within easy call, and drugs are at hand round tho corner, a mother is wise who takes 110 more upou herself in this regard than she cannot help, and contents herself until educated help can bo had, with making use of copious draughts of hot water and of soothing sweats.—Harper's Bazar.

Information for the Nurse.

To change the under sheet, roll it lengthwise—that is, begin at the side. Push soiled sheet aud all coverings toward the patient, leaving tho mattress bare. On this lay the clean roll, tucking one side under the mattress, unroll it toward the patient and move him over tho roll ou the smooth space, keeping him covered with the top blauket. Go to tho other side of tho bed, pull out under blanket and soiled sheet, finish unrolling cloan sheet and tuck it in. Lay the clean upper sheet over tho top blanket and cover it with another blanket and thin white spread. When these are in place remove the blankets that are next the patient, and he will be left lying between clean sheets, in a clean night drew aud thoroughly bathed without having been exposed for an instant to the chauco of taking cold.

Open tho window at the top, and if there seems too much air near the bed place a screen between that and the window. If none is at hand improvise one by throwing a shawl over a clothes horse or fastening a cord between two convenient points and hanging a blanket over it If the window will Open only at the bottom, tack the flannel there. The pillow case should be changed frequently and the pillow turned SJ often as o&n be dime without disturbing tho patient.. A cool, fresh surface next the face is very refreshing.

Keep the pillow wall under tho shoulders nothing is more tiring to a weak person than to have the edge come just In the hollow of the neck, throwing the chin forward on the breast. Gently comb and brush the hair, and if there is a beard keep it washed and tree from tangles. If the patient is a woman part the back hair and braid each portion, ftcan be colled high on the head or allowed to hang in two tails. The nails on both hands •nd feet should be carefully attended to.

If the carpet cannot be amoved, sweep it daily with a carjjet sweeper or a broom with a cloth wrapped around it, and born the dust Wipe the woodwork and furniture daily with a damp (doth.

Lord St X*van got into a boat as umpire and guardian. Peers of the realm have seen unusual sights at times, abroad aid at home. Take for instance the scenes Lord Dufferin must have witnessed. But surely few members of the upper house witness in their holiday time the little event which followed. One after the other plunge into the sea Lord St Levant five daughters—the Hon. Elizabeth, Misses Audrey, Nellie Evelyn and Mabel St Aubyn, Capt Michael St Aubyn, their brother Lady Agnes Townshend (Lady St Levan's niece), CoL and Mrs. KnollyB and Mr. Manver.

Splashing and dashing in sport, now at real swimming work again, amid chatter and laugh ""'l occasional splutter or puff, for there was a ripple on the water, they swam the 800 or 900 yards from island to mainover just the course the mount's dread giant Cormorau waded and swam when he visited the purlieus of Marazion and carried back to his granite fastness the oxen and sheep of his smaller and honester neighbors. That distance done, the. swimmers took to wraps and boats and pulled to the mount, rejoined Lady St Levan, and scampered over the level green sward and climbed tho steep ascent to castle home and a well earned lunch.

The young folks at the mount are all frequent bathers and bold swimmers. They have given evidence of bravery aa well as kindness, and we may feel assured that, if ever the chance came of doing the work of Grace Darling or Mabel Bell, the St. Aubyns would be "there." Prom childhood familiar with the open sea, they have made it their confidant and playmate until they treat it in the spirit breathed in Byron's beautiful lines. —Cornishman.

The Girl and Her Camera.

An ingenious girl has hit on an ingenious means of self support With a clever little detective camera she used to amuse herself whenever her fancy led her about the city, picking up here an old apple woman, there a ragged news girl, yonder a group of babies tumbling on the grass in the park, and somewhere else an Italian woman with a huge bundle balanced on her head—all full of artistic possibilities. Though the girl could neither paint nor draw, she knew what would compose well. Many of her photographs were really pictures, and, being caught instantaneously, preserved ailjhe spirit, action and freshness of life.

An artist friend saw them one ddy, and, to her surprise, offered to buy half a dozen of the best for suggestions for studio work. The girl was in want of money and resolved to turn what had been play into work. Now she and her camera are out every bright day from 10 o'clock until 3, and an hour in a "dark room" of an evening brings out some of the characteristic scenes of city life transferred to her negatives and ready to be transformed into cash. Her work is quite the fashion among the studios, and clever suggestions are often taken from it. An attitude, a smile, an expression often serves as a revelation of some queer phase of humanity and supplies the missing something that somebody wanted to incorporate into a picture. Sometimes an artist gives her a commission, naming the subject he is at work upon and asking her to bring in all the hints upon it that sho can find.—New York Commercial Advertiser. ,'

Women's Luncheons.

The daintiness and eestheticism of ladies have elevated the simple act of lunching into a most impressive ceremony since the custom has been established for ladies tp give to a friend a luncheon at some popular restaurant, just as a man would give a dinner to a guest. The handsomely furnished private rooms used on these occasions must be arranged to exclude all daylight, and the gaslight is filtered through softly tinted shades to give a new charm to the sweet faces glowing under the butterfly lunch bonnets. The tall candelabra at either end of tho table wear shades of rose color, and the table is bright with favors and flowers and fruit and all sorts and kinds of dainties. A favorite custom is to use a round rather than an elliptical table, with a large basket in tho center, wound with ribbons and gay with bows, into which clusters of roaes are crowded, interspersed with ferns and vines of green. There are pink luncheons, lavender luncheons and green luncheons. At a pretty yellow luncheon a yellow crinkled rose leaf of papier mache so closely imitating the roses in the center of the table as to look as if it hod fallen from them, was placed at each plate and bore the name of the person to whom the seat belonged. —Exchange.

Dress and Church.

The rectors of most of our fashionable city churches might take a hint from the Archbishop of Canterbury, who, following the example of his great episcopal predecessor, Paul, gavo his Sock some very serious admonition upon the subject of dress in church, advising them what was becoming to the house of the Lord and to followers of the meek and lowly Jesus. According to hii views a plain and serious garb was more in keeping with the spirit of the place than were the glittering furbelows of fashion. The congregation of any one of our up town churches would furnish just as good a text for a sermon as did the gayly decked worshipers in the English cathedral. There is no better field for observing the display of elegant toilets than a church bn a bright Sunday morning, and many a woman, if put upon her oath, would have to admit that she had lost the whole of the sermon because of the charms of her neighbor's new Paris hat. Indeed, the churches are so universally made exhibition for fine that the lack of clothes is frequently made the plea for non-attend-ance, and in the distraction of flue toilets the original idea of worship is almost entirely lost sight of.—-New York World.

Her Start.

Harriet Preaoott Spofford came into reputation and fame through a story written for The Atlantic Monthly entitled "In a Cellar.w "Lowell was then editor of The Atlantic," says a writer in The Book Buyer, "and he was deeply impressed by the story when ho received it in Ma, and was at first inclined to regard it as a clever translation of some French conte. Thomas Wentworth Higgin•oo, however, formerly a clergyman in Newburyport, became leaponsihlf for the identity of the unknown author and for the originality of the story. 'In a Cellar* made the author* reputation, and from that day to this her name has been a familiar one in the best periodicals, and her stories and have delighted multitodts of reader*." —Current Literature.

This training of girls for a life they are never to in this world is fast becoming popular under the alluring name of the higher education, while that training which fits ti«m to make their own way iin li»e is regarded as a sort of lower education. The best education is that which develops the faculties, rather that which seeks to turn out accomplished ladies.

A flesh strap is a serviceable article for use in the bath. It is made of brown linen Turkish toweling, doubled, and bound with red worsted braid. A good size is twenty-four inches long by six inches broad. Strong straps of red braid are fastened at each end, large enough to insert the fingers comfortably.

A table In the kitchen covered with japanned cloth is exceedingly handy, as it is easily wiped down, but one objection to such a covering is that care must be taken about setting hot pans or dishes on it, as it is liable to crack or peel under heat. This objection does not apply to zinc, and a table covered with apiece of zinc smoothly rolled over the idges will be found a convenience.

In England it is the law that when a person hires a domestic servant, unless it is otherwise agreed, the hiring is for the year, and if the employer wishes to discharge the servant before the time has expired ha must give her a month's notice or a month's pay. So the servant must give a month's notice if she wishes to leave. There is no such law in this country. While it is very frequent for the mistress to expect a week's notice from her servant before she leaves her place, and for the servant to expect a similar notice or a week's pay before discharge, such notice or pay is not required by law. In the absence of any agreement between the parties, the mistress has a right to discharge her servant at any time, with or without good cause, and the servant has a right to leave any time she takes a notion to do so. The fact that a girl is hired at a certain price per week does not require her to work the week out Such a hiring only fixes the rate of wages, and not the time of service. Therefore, while a "week's notice or a week's pay" may be proper and commendable, it is not obligatory.— Philadelphia Press.

A if Cremation has invaded uterury London. Amy Levy, the author of "Reuben Sachas," has been incinerated. Miss Levy died at the age of 27, and at the beginning of what promised to be a brilliant professional career. She was one of several gifted Jewesses who have, in recent years, done some strong writing in the field of fiction. An even more able writer of her circle still lives in the sister of James Davis, the editor and publisher, who goes in for the study of medicine as a fad, and uses the knowledge she acquires at itinics and lectures in her novels. This lady, who writes over a male pseudonym, with a sharp pen, is married and well to do. She dividn the care of her family with her care for her mental offspring, and is said to be a success in both directions. Her anonymety in letters is carefully preserved, for the best of reasons. One of bar novels is historical for having, by its pungent personalities and sharp character drawing, created a positive riot in Maida Vale, the suburban paradise of the opulent London Hebrew.—Pittsburg Bulletin. v' ,4 S

Experiments on Feeding Infanw. Some very interesting observations have lately been made by aphysician to the German dispensary, New York. He selected for the purpose of study a number of artificially nourished infants, and fed them after the various popular methods. Between one and two hours after they had taken food he introduced a stomach tube, and drew out sufficient of the contents of that organ for analysis. In that way he was able to make correct estimates of the value of the different foods. The conclusions derived from theee investigations, of great interest to parents, are: (1) Infante deprived of human breast milk should be fed, first of all, with cow's milk, diluted. (2) Infants artificially fed should not be fed every two hours, for' the reason that more than that time, as a rule, is necessary to digest the food given. Herein is furnished the best of evidence that infants, even in the earliest days of life, ought not to be fed oftener than once in three hours.—Herald of Health. $

The Fonda de la Paz is the "splash" hotel in Madrid but theRusia is less expensive and more Spanish. The manners of our attendants show a free and easy simplicity.

They bring us oranges up stairs in their hands. We were told to expect no chambermaids in Spain, but a dark eyed woman with wild dark hair and untidy dark dresa, and no suspicion of white collar, cap or apron, glides suddenly into our midst, without knocking, seizes our towels, and as silently glides away. Once when we rang she arrived in the middle of fastening up her back coils of hair, holding me lock between her teeth, with the serene observation that fas "a la Magdalena."—Madrid Letter,

INVALID'S BREAKFAST AND SITTING UP GOWNS. The requirements of an invalid, able to sit bolstered up in bed, are met by the "sitting up" gown, illustrated in the cut, which is of washing silk or muslin. It is cut with a deep opening in front, which is bordered vith lace and fitted in with a slightly fulled chemisette. This chemisette is crossed slantwise with lace insertion. A frilling of lace surrounds the neck and full sleeves. TJ|e gown fastens slantwise on the right side. |g|5

The breakfast gown, shown in tho same cut, is of cashmere. It is trimmed with bands and edgings of guipure work or Irish crochet, laid on a silk foundation that harmonizes in color with the ribbons, bows and strings of ottoman.

^Description of the New Ribbon*. &--v Fancy ribbons are not quite so fashionable as plain ones, and the favorite width for millinery purposes is four inches. Rep ribbons are much used, and reversibles, but satin is the tending idea in Paris, and the brocades are mostly brown on satin grounds. Velvet ribbons are greatly in demand, but they have a satin face also indeed, all the ribbons are reversible, and can be worn both sides. But several materials blend in the fashionable makes for example, one was composed of stripes of tissu royale, plain rep, and moire, and tissu royale has been brought out in many new makes. Rep selvedges are used, and one of the new velvet ribbons has a faille border. A curious and quaint brocade has a rope bordering over two inches wide down one side. Checked borders blend with rep, but they are spaced rather than checked, the two colors appearing on the top of one another. Accident has suggested many of the designs, for example, the play of lightning on a satin foundation, produced by a few distinctive irregular lines and a wide flowing river as another bordering, which is wide and important

In this the amalgamation of tones is decided, such as terra cotta and reseda, myrtle and cardinal. Moire and satin unite in two tones of one color and two distinct tints. In one ribbon a striped shield is another new notion, thrown on a contrasting color, with a corded border. Many ribbons with distinct colors on either side have borders on each to match the reverse. Tube like spots are introduced on others tinsel comes in with some of the detached floral designs, the patterns being generally small velvet rep, satin and moire are intermixed in all kinds of wonderful combinations, and very good, indeed, is the make of ribbons this season. Some of the fashionable mixtures of color are maize and bronze, heliotrope and porcelain, old gold and myrtle, brown and yellow, copper and Baltic, stone and reseda. Plain ribbons are sold in all widths, with a very narrow satin edge in all theee colors. The tint most in demand just now is petunia, but it is not likely to last through the winter it is not warm enough. Java brown jasper (akin to myrtle green) saturnelle, a red aprioot Parma, the tint of a Parma violet, and jonquil are the newest shades.

The New Long Cloaks.

Numbered with quite new styles introduced this autumn are the dressy long cloaks fitted to the figure and having long, full sleeves. These cloaks are often of cloth while the sleeves are of velvet. The trimming consists of braiding and borders of fur. In our illustration is shown a handsome close fitting cloak with winged sleeves, all in electric blue Venetian cloth. The full V-sfcaped front and sleeve linings are in gray pongee silk., Tjbft trimming consists of black braiding.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

How to Train and Tame That Charming and Favorite Home Bird, the Canary. Canaries are perhaps the most popular of cage birds, and this is probably as much due to their hardiness as to their merits of beauty and song. We may observe every day birds living in the glare of the hot sun, or placed on a window sill with the window wide open and a strong draft over their shivering little bodies birds left out in changes of weather and till 1 te at night when they have been made tender by housing birds in cages swathed in muslin nearly to the roof, so they can scarcely see out of them, anji other abuses that tend to cause discomfort and disease.

All bird lovers will be interested in the method by which fine singers are trained by dealers in birds. The young birds, when through moulting, are taken away from the sound of all singing canaries into a room having a small opening in the top, and in the room above there is kept a nightingale, skylark or some other fine whistling bird, tjie best of his species, who acts as instructor for the young birds. From him they get those beautiful notes—the bow trill, the bell note, the flute, the water note, etc., which are so much admired.

The canary will become a most charming pet, but if you want it to be very tame and familiar ou must havo but one. No creature is more jealous or sensitive than a bird, and if you have several none will become very intimate with you.

It is easy, however, to win the heart of almost any single bird, and without starving him or making him think he has mastered you. Simply talk to him a good deal. Place his cage near you, on your desk or work table, and retain his choicest dainty to give to him yourself, from your own fingers. Let him know that he can never have that particular thing unless he take it from you, and he will soon learn, if you are patient and do not disconcert him by fixing your eyes upon him. After this he will more readily take it from your lips, and then, when you let him out of his cage, after the first excitement is over, he will come to you (especially if you have a call you have accustomed him to) and accept the dainty from you while free

From that time nothing is needed but invariably kind and gentle treatment, never frightening him by a sudden movement or a loud noise. As soon as he has really become convinced that you will not hurt him, nor try to catch him, nor interfere in any way with his liberty, he will give way to his boundless curiosity about you he will pull your hair, pick at your eyes and give you as much of his company as you desire. You should keep out of the way of a tame bird such things as needles, rubber bands, bits of glass, small buttons and, in general, objects small enough to swallow. Whatever instinct he may have in his natural surroundings does not seem to avail him in a house.

A Popular Lamp Shade.

Lamp shades come in numberless designs. An example of a style very popular just now is shown in the cut This form of shade is equally adapted to large and small lamps, and is much employed on the tall standing lamps.

AN ACCORDION LAMP SHADS. The materials may be Bilk, chintz, or, bet ter still, colored paper diagonally striped and plaited in the collapsing style known as accordion plaitings. It is edged with fringe and supported over a wire frame.

Rice Boiled in Georgia Style To boil rice in the Georgia style, pick it over, wash it in cold water, put it into tnree times its quantity of salted boiling water, and boil it steadily for twelve minutes, without stirring it then drain off all the water, cover the vessel containing it, and set it where it will keep hot enough to steam for ten minutes it will then be ready to serve. Shake it out of the boiler in a heap on the dish, but do not use a spoon to remove it, and do not press it in shape serve it as it is thrown lightly on the dish.

Linen Whitened with Potatoes* A French laundry man is said to have discovered an ingenious method of cleaning linen without soap. He uses no soap, nor lye, nor chlorine but, in their stead, boiled potatoes, which he rubs upon the linen. This curious process, it appears, is much superior to those hitherto employed, and the worst soiled cotton, linen or silk cleaned by this method are made whiter than they could. be by the use rf an alkali.

To Polish Marble.

To restore the polish to marble a person of experience recommends to wash the marble with cold soap and water, then dry it with an old soft napkin, and when quite dry rub it steadily for an hour at least with white wax and a clean rubber, the secret of success being in prokayed rubbing.
