In Time of Sickness. In all cases where a patient is hrinnslv ill. or when mllCh ClO- nds iioon tho most carenu on hrvance ot tne nnvsicuui s u net- Sous, the attendant should not irust solely to memory, but oa re tail v noto'down all his orders, aud luring his absence keep a record F tho unusual manifestations and mnortant chauues. As each dose f nifxlicine is given, it should bo Registered; thus regularity will do Insured, and tiie practice will prove Lf fisiieckl convenience in case ar of tliw family niiJLduwu uiviii w- - . Iburw in tho nursinir. It is well to estimate, with a near dogroe of Surfcmntv. the auantitv of nourish thent taken bv the patient. The loininc of the attending physician should be anticipated by having ivervthintr readv which he is like y to need. It is especially annoying h him. and distressine to tne fttinnt. if the attendant is contin' illy obliged to leave the room for jttle things which a measure I thoughtf ulness would have Jompted her to provide previous ) his coining. Among other at lintions, have in readiness the conveniences for him to wash his hands before leavine. The nurse 'hould criva the medical adviser her whole and undivided attention while he is mukiug Ins visit. In describing the important changes she should confine herself to facts, m those are morffisntial to. him than mere opinions. He should not be harassed with speculations and obsolete theories, and by all means, her language should be clear, concise and to the point. Sleep Upstairs. It is important to sleen well above tho ground, and if possible, in an upper story. .Ur. Baikio says that on the African coast per fect security against intermittent fever is secured to sleepers by wire gauze, or even mosquito curtains! Experiments on dew show that a portion of the dew deposited on a war night actually comes forth as vapor from below tho surfaco of the earth: and the process of distillation appears capable of car rying up into tho air the minute seeds of pathogenic microbes. therefore, it is advisable for any one camping out to cover the ground under the tent with im pervious material india-rubber or cork. It is thus easily understood why we should sleep several feet above the ground; also, that it is well to bo screened at night (and whenever exposed to malarious emanations) by fine gauze or mus lin, so that the microbes may bo scattered, delayed and enfeebled before being breathed in or swal lowed. This device is said by ex perience to be efficacious. THINGS OF SPECIAL INTER EST TO THE FAIR SEX. As it is stated that aigrettes are to be fashionable tbis year it may be worth noticing tho following paragraph from the Animal World: "The aigrette is a tuft of graceful, thin feathers taken from kind of heron called egrci; and not only are these poor birds killed expressly to furnish ornaments for ladies' bonnets and hair, but they are killed at the time when they ought especially to be pro tected namely, during the breeding season, I hey build their nests close to gether, and the feather hunters look for Indoor Amusements. Older heads enjov quiet games of whist, cribbageor euchre, where science is brought to bear to such an extent that in reality there is more of work than play in their so called recreation. A little rainy night club, composed of only mem bers ot the iamuv, could be made a source of rare delight as well as profit. bhakespeare, bcott or Dickens could be taken up in this way, assigning to each a character that they shall feel their own until the book or play were completed. V ary this with an occasional candy-pull, a popcorn party or any other noisy frolic that will be a direct contrast to tho more intel lectual pursuits, and it will be sur prising how often will be heard the wish for a stormy day, which will necessitate the staying at home and indoor amusements. If vou are so blessed as to own a wide hall, battledore and shuttle cock is a lively and healthy exer cise that can be ludultted in there with no fear of breaking or dam aging auything. How to Roast Meat. The trlory of a piece of roasted meat lies in the preservation of its juices. This may be best done by placing the moat in a very not oven, at nrst, until it is ngntiy browned. This "sots the juices and causes a coating to form on the outside to keep all juice from escaping. Atter tne nrst niteen minutes the oven may be allowed to cool somewhat, so that the meat has a chance to become thoroughly cooked without beiuar burned on the outside. In boiling meat the piece should be plunged into a pot ot briskly boiling water. It should then boil more slowly until cooked through. In this way the natural flavor and nourishing juices are preserved. Bananas. The banana has very decided possibilities as a dessert or an ad dition to luncheon or informal meals. Banuna fritters are simply delicious, but very, very rich Make a batter with one egg, a cup of sweet milk, a heaping teaspoon ful of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and flour enough to make it rather stiff. In this dip slices of banana, then drop them into very hot fat. Be careful that they are thoroughly cooked through. Drain them on shoets of absorbent paper and serve with maple syrup, Peaches and bananas, with oranges, make a delicious salad when sliced very thin and set away for some time in sugar. To Remove Coffee Stains. The stains should be wet with cold, soft water before being put into the wash, and will usually be found all right when tho laundry ing is done. A surer way is to run boiling water through the fabric, which will carry away the tttain at once. When au especially fine damask suffers trom this cause it is recommended to apply a mixture made from the solution of volk of egg in clear water, with a few drons of wine added. Allow the solution to pouetrato the fabric thoroughly, and then wash out with clear, soft water and the stain will be gone. Useful Things to Have. Leather purses and pockotbooks in new designs. Toilet articles of all kinds from medium to hig.iest class. Shaving mirrors, with full set of razors and all tho appointments, Games of all sorts, such as chockers, parchesi, halma, towers and chess. WorkboxeH of antique designs, including leather and plush cov ered. The glassmakers, of Thebes 40 conturies ago, possessed the art of staining glass. READING FOR WOMEN, Useless suits for small girls are made of serge or other light-weight woolen material and trimmed with very many rows of narrow braid. Now that every one has velvet sleeves, the new craze is for satin sleeves, but as they are made into two huge puffs it takts an artist to hang them gracefully. Almost all tight fitting jackets have bands of passementerie arranged straight over the shoulders, one edge extending slightly over the tops of the full sleeves. The Alsatian bow lias not lost its hold od popular favor, and they come in lace jet, velvet, accordion plaited lace, guipure 1 lace in gold thread. No. 126, Sycamore st. PETERSBURG, VA.

The best time to attaok them is when the young birds are fully fledged but not yet able to fly, for at that time the solicitude of the parent bird is greatest, and forgetful of their own danger, they are most readily made victims. They hover in a crowd over the heads of their despoilers, their boldness making it as easy as possible to shoot them down; and when the slaughter is finished and the handfuls of coveted feathers plucked out the poor birds are left in a heap to fester in the sun in sight of their orphaned young that cry for food and are not led. Green cloth capes that fall to the waist 1 with plaited collarettes of cloth and deep points back and front, the latter lined with violent silks, are considered very stylish. Sice ves are extremely large at the top and close at the wrist, and it is consider ed letter taste not to stiffen these sleeves, but to allow them to fall softly and nat urally. Old fashioned rings, with precious stones in straight lines over the top, are much liked. Dresses for Little Girls-and Young Ladies. Pen holders and picture frames com bined are among the latest novelties for the writing desk. Apropos of this, seal ing wax and qnill pens are again fashion able. Jewelry done in enamel and precious stones is quite the fancy of the moment. The latest fancy in the way , of a fern inine shirt button is a diamond set in platinum. Partv drcses of very thin material are made with three skirts over a plain silk foundation. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. EO. J. MOltlilSON. .1. E. WHITEHORNE. JNO. S. NORTHINCTON. GEO. J.
