WBDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1891. - ... - J LITTLE THINGS IN THE SPARE ROOM. ). ' - A Paw Articles That Will Mafce Your . Visitor's Stay Moro Pleasant, And ?towip^re roojjs^r^^^ewied? Kit*y ?nt, bave yon out ^ sufficiency of doth tn g on tho bed* I was ?nee a visitor at a place where I was expected to steep in the mid? dle of winter, under cotldng beyond a sheet and a counterpane. If I hadn't known of Moid physician's recipe for keeping the feet warm ia a coW bed i should certainly have sat tip all night. This-si m pie remedy ist the putting of an extra pillow under the sheet, on that part of the mattress where the feet will come. It is infallible, and worth remembering. Bat as all guests have not such ideas at call, be sure there are plenty of extra coverlids in the guest room. See that the window curtains are prac? ticable, and that your guest knows how to manag? them. Nothing is so unpleasant ? for a visitor as to be compelled to pin arti? cles of clothing to the window frames be . canse the shades won't come down, or to experiment with noisily working curtain fixture* at 12 o'clock the night after '"he party. Be sure there are the following articles in the room, however small: Some good soap, a large jug of fresh water, a clean glass for drinking water, a supply of towels, both fine and coarse, to suit all tastes. On the toilet table place a hand glass, a pair of small scissors for cleaning nails, clipping bangs, etc; & bunch of wooden toothpicks, so that your guest can make nae of these necessary articles without of? fending your taste at thc table. Be sure the pincushion is well supplied with pius, and t hat there is an easy, soft cushioned rocking rhair in the room. - Supply tho bed with plenty of pillows. If any one does not use many they are easily removed, and some people cannot eieep unless well bolstered np. In the room place a bottle of black ink, some note paper ami envelopes, a medium sized new steel pen in a i reider, two or three stamps and a postal card or so. But you say, why should I supply my guests with postage and stationery? Your guests, I am sure, will always see that wheo they leave the stock of stamps and paper in your spare room is by no means diminished, and how convenient the handy ?apply will he to your visitor when, on the morning of ber arrival, she wants to drop . a line to the folks at home, and bas not yet learned the way to the local posto Sice. Also place in the guest chamber a few en ~tectaini.ng novels-Edith Minitcr in Kome - maker. '_ Try Hygienic Methods. A writer^ays: "It is quite needless to take quinine as though it were an article of food In this climate, and its effect on all the organs of the senses is finally more or less destructive. The greater number of ' cases of deafness seeking relief in our hos? pitals, we arc told by statistics, are caused by quinine, it also causes blindness and a pathological condition of the vital organs, s.5cc???y cf t he heart. "Of cocaine I cannot say much, except don't take it without a doctor's prescrip? tion. We have several accounts of in? stances in which lt has caused thc ruin of doctors who have tried it on themselves for experimental purposes. The cocaine habit, * so far as we understand it, is like the mor phene and absinthe habits united. Tho moral of all this is, that when a person does not feel in normal' health, don't dose indiscriminately, hut go to a doctor. "Before going to a doctor try hygienic measures. Eat regularly, and do not par? take of highly flavored food. ? Condiments ?re in truth drugs that do not enter the system without- producing some effect. If you are a smoker reduce the number of your agars daily, take frequent baths, and dress in loose fitting clothing of the right weight for the season, and take all the exercise that comfort and time will allow:. ** The walking cure' is just now coming into fashion. It is a good cure for a legion of minor com plaints that ordinarily people want to take drugs for. Let people take Jess drags and more good exercise, and get beal thy bodies and well regulated minds, and the medical profession will go into bankruptcy for the need of patients."-Ex .change._' The Fault Lies with th? Maa. Some one bas well and truthfully said that it isa man's own fault if be is un? happy with his wife ia nine cases out of ten. It is a very exceptional woman who will ' ?ot bo eM she can to an attentive a us ha* d, aadamore exceptional one who will not be very disagreeable if she finds herself wilfuHy neglected. It would bc very easy to hate a man wno, having bound a woman to bim, made no effort to make !>er nappy; hard not to love one who was constant and tender, an?i when a woman loves she always strives to please. The great mea of this world have often been wretched in their domestic relations, while common men have been exceedingly happy. The reason is very plain. Absorl>ed . in themselves, those desiring the world's applause were careless of the little world at home, while those who had none of this egotism strove to keep the hearts that were their own, and were happy in their tenderness. No woman will love a man the better for being renowned or prominent, though he be first among men. She will only be prouder, not fonder. And if she lose bim through this renown, as is often thc case, she will not even be proud. But give her love, appreciation, kindness, and there is no sacrifice she would not make for his comfort. The man who loves ber well is her boro aod ber kisg; no less a hero to ber though he is not one to any other; no less a king though his only kingdom is ber heart sud home.-Cor. Boston Globe. Danger in Expectorations. The women cf Pittsburg bad a health issoc?ation recently formed. One of their 3 rut efforts Sn a radical move in their work aas been to petition the proper authorities jo prohibit promiscuous expectoration, rbe floors of the street cars and public places axe not to contain, if they can help lt, cuspidors for general use. If this can be accomplished? even vrith an approxi? mate degree of success, the gain to the city's health will be large. One grows giddy almost at the thought of New York and Brooklyn so restricted. If merely the elevated stairs and platforms were prohib? ited ground tbe women of the two cities would experience deep gratitude. In this connection the recent words of a physician are suggestive. "The time must come," said he, "when consumptives will be subjected to a certain quarantine. It is well known that the sputa from a patient suffering with tubercular consumption is harmless while moist. When, however, this sputa dries and is disseminated in the air in a fine dust it is fatal to any one breathing it. Yet our public conveyances are daily frequented by persons in almost the last stages of this disease, who cough and raise without restraint. Not half of them realize the danger to which they ex? pose others by so doing, and the few who may are doubtless indifferent, in the face of tbeir own accepted doom. The future, however, must show a change." - Her Point of View in New York Times. HosMekeepioff Girls. It may bc true that "most girls of the period know much more about the proper management of a house when they marry than tbeir mothers did," but this is not i the experience of the majority of men who I marry American girls. No one is brighter j or quicker to learn the mysteries of house- I hold work than the American girl, but in | the great majority of cases she gains this j knowledge after her marriage. Wherever the English system of enforc? ing training in cooking ?na household work is adopted, there the girls are found to be adepts, bat unfortunately, especially in the west, the castorn--^ to leave all household work to servants. Thus the girl grows np with no practical knowledge of this work, which seems so easy, bat which in reality requires patient study and much practice to do welL 60 when she comes to manage a house? hold she is at the mercy of servants, who are quick to take advantage of her igno? rance. She generally emerges the victor after several years of costly experience, bat she woald have been spared all this worry, vexation and hard work had ber mother insisted, as English mothers do, upon 'equal proficiency in the kitchen and music 'room--San Francisco Chronicle. Duplicate Whist. "Duplicate whist" is a variation of whist which is quite popular at small companies. Partners are chosen, by the accident of se "*>v*i dsf?c^ce numbers of score cards, aixt>?<ry person retains the same position at ail the tables during the entire caning. The two sides are designated as A and B, and canis are lettered and numbered for each table-A 1, B4, A 2, C 2. etc. On tak? ing places at the tables the A gentlemen deal the cards and tbe playing proceeds, each person laying the cards, played in a separate pile, with the face side up. A tally of thc points made is kept on the gentlemen's score cards. When all have finished the first game a bell is struck, the entire company move forward one table, partners and positions remaining unchanged, and the cards are taken up the same as dealt and played in the previous ?ame. Thus the playing pro? ceeds until all the players come back to t he table from which they started. Then there is a new deal of the cards at each table by the person at the left of the A gentleman, and another round of the tables is made. At the beginning of the third round the A lady deals, and for the fourth round the player at the left of the A lady deals.-De? troit Freo Press. For thc Care of Prickly Heat. In many persons the eruption known as prickly heat comes from the corrosive action of t he acid perspiration. It is worse rrieaever the clothing has an opportunity to rub the skin. In cases of persons hav? ing delicate or thin skins much relief may often bc obtained by applying a lather of soap and letting it dry in. The soap is suf? ficiently alkaline iii its nature to neutral? ize the acid of the perspiration and stop its corroding effect. The soap used should be of the finest kind. As a rule, chafing is due to the same cause, and can be cured by the treatment mentioned. Some persons find the uso of soap much more beneficial and satisfactory than that of vaseline or. oil of any kind. The oil acts merely as a lubricant and to soothe the inflammation. The soap does the same, but also removes the cause of the trouble to a great extent. In applying the soap to infants extreme caution should be used. Only a small sur? face should bc soaped until certain that no injurious results follow. Some persons get relief from bathing with a weak solu? tion of bicarbonate of soda.-A. M. Will? iams. Cosmetic History. Perhaps the safest oil or fat for the face is pare, fresh goose grease, and next to it poultry fat of any sort. Goose grease, as well known by old nurses, is most readily absorbed by the skin, a fact which gives it value in croup, and Its composition is more nearly that of human adipose than any? thing known. Do not shrink from this homely but his? torie cosmetic, which may be clarified and perfumed to suit the most fastidious taste. lt is sold in the city drug shops, bottled, for croup, but manufacturers have such a propensity for mixing every sort of fat and oil with lard that one would not feel sure cf the pure article unless prepared under her own hand, which is easily done. A very little of this will have moro effect in mak? ing tbe skin soft and full than cocoa but? ter, and I have yet to hear of its producing down on tho cheeks. It is said to be more readily absorbed than lanolin, and if you m list anoint your faces try one-third of a teaspoonful, rubbed oa after steaming at night and suffered to remain till absorbed. What use is oil or fat that is washed or wiped off in a few minutes if you want to nourish the skin? Simply to supple it is another thing. Shirley Dare in New York Herald. Cold Water for Spasmo-.'ic Crowp. Dr. J. T. Jelks, of Hot Spriugs. Ark., says, concerning the efficacy of cold water compresses in affections of the respiratory tract: "The cold water compress ia spas? modic croup is one of my earliest recollec? tions, my brothers and myself having been sufferers from this distressing disease, and I many times witnessed and felt the speedy relief afforded by cold water. In a practice of fifteen years I have never given a dose of medicine of any sort for the relief of spas? modic croup, and claim that there is no necessity for giving alum, tur pet b minerai, aconite or indeed any remedy whatever. "A napkin or handkerchief is wet ia cold water and wrapped about the throat, and over this is applied a dry towel. In ten or fifteen minutes the child w?l be breathing easily and will probably be asleep. This seems to be an exceedingly simple thing to do when the family and patient are in such distress, but it has always been successful in my hands." _ A Safe .Investment, Is one which is guaranteed to bring you sat? isfactory results, or ?it case of failure a return of purchase price.

It has had a wide experience, and "making haste slowly," bas always com? manded tbe support and patronage of cautious and discriminating investors. H. It has no capital stock upon which to earn dividends. Its business is therefore conducted without this element of ?xpense.
