A very thin mattress of hair or wool may be substitufed for the top and tunied when the iitiderbed is turned. Such • mattress, about se thick as a oomfort- able, may be made at home and will o ast less than the upholsterers charge for • hair -top. A cover of coarse unbleach- ed muslin should be boated over all beds and remove twice • yaw to be washed.

Pillows are now often omitted from the bed, and the English fashion of an cpholdered bed is pdortisd. An upholsterer's cover of red Tering& toweling, of tapastry, cretonne or silk and lace, forms the e3elge for the boletse mee, and the same material is used for a oonnterpane.

Vidal, Loudon Road, last Monday morning, his servant, a young English girl, named Elizabeth Louisa Nettleton, seventeen years of age, being the victim. She was found dead lying across the bed with a shot gun in one hand and • stick in the other, having apparently put the nunzle of the gun into her mouth and need the stick to move the trigger, which she could not otherwise reach. An inquest was held by Coroner Fraser, and all the circumstances fully investi- gated. The girl had come from Forest, where she had a stater living, both hav- ing been brought to tbis country from Yorkshire, England, by Mies Rye ; that while at Forest she had belonged to the Salvation Army ; that on several oaca- dons she had stated to Mrs Vidal that she had had visions of Jesus, whose glory filled her room, and that die long- ed to be with Jesus. She had not been allowed W join the Army in Sarnia. She was a smart, active tidy servant, greatly pleased with her place, always happy and contented, mach thought of by the children. The verdict ef the jury was that she had committed self- destruction while temporarily insane.
