The sick room, if poeeible, ehould be large, high coiled and tiuted or papered in a soft uniform color, euch as olive, drab, liege green or duli blue, all of which are reatful to the eye, eepecialle if not too light, but of medium depth of Weed°.

The ceiling also ehould be tinted in a shade of the same 'quiet color as the Wall, ,as nothing le more dietressing th the eyes of an invalid than the glare of a deed white ceiling or an intricate pattern of many cohere on the wall, ' There phold be , ample convenience for, ventilatiou ; this elm be secured by a window opposite a doorway, there being uo objection 0 a, temporary draught, previded the Patient is well covered and protected from chill of the surfago, the writer leaving seen the room of a p prig patient in one of the fiuest hoe. t pitals 1 a New York thus Veneilittecl, A tell three -f ,Id screen is a useful addition to sick room fteenishing, to place around the bed during the process of airing the *room, also to stand around the siek chair when occa- sion demands it. At the windows should be thick opaque shades of a soft dark olive eolor to exolude too great a glare of sun- shine: especially when sleep is desirable, the ontside or inner blinds to be drawn to if the shades do not darken sufficiently. A low table. with a leaf that can come over the, bed is suggested for use in early convalescence, when the patient mut still take neve% in bed ; also one or two low, easy chairs for the watchers who are sometimes needed to sit up through the night. A painted floor that can be easily cleaned by wiping off with cloths is preferable to any carpet, but to insure quiet, there may be had down one or two strips, say near the' bed and running across to the closet or table where the medicines may be kept. An at. tendant upon the sick should also insure quiet by wearing list or felt slippers. An important subject also is that of light- ing and warming the sick room. On no ac- count burn a gas jet where it will annoy the patient by its flame, have the light whether of gas or lamp come from a wall bracket over the table where the medicines stand, and keep that, too, out of sight of the pa- tient. Aix open grate fire will be the best means of heating the rosins, and if this cannot be attained, and a stove must be nsed, let it be one of the old.fashioned open grate style, which is the next best mode of heating to the chimney grate. The room n.ced not necessarily be bare of ornament, but it must be free from orna- ment that wouldba a trouble and weariness to the eye. A few engravings of pleasant subjects, for example, heads or full length figures framed in oak are desirable; also a potted plant or two of freshly green foliage, ' say a rose geranium in a clean red put, , standing on a window shelf where the sun- shine may empgasize its beauty, and a glass ' of bulbs throwing up their bright green blades to the sun; these will be interesting and cheering: The -remogning necessities for the sick , room, ea as a soft hair mattress on springs, 1 a rubber sheet, and light but warm cover-, a nightingale to throw over the sick one's shoulders, and other articles, need not now be enumerated, as almost every one is familiar with the ordinary regulates. It - remains to be that the air of the room must be made wholesome by systematic ventila- tion, the patient at such times being envel- oped with coverings and screened from the draught. and one that it seems troubleeorne to eradi. cat°. The mixture given below fete been known to remove the pereietent tiouole when other tneans IlaVe failed : Take one - hell ounce of cerbouate cif potash, and one ounce of alcohol ; add eufficient water to bring the mixture up to eight eunces, and use a little at a time, rubbing well into the ecalp until it forms a lather. At this time of year ehilblaine begin to trouble nearly all who have to be out of doors, the poor children especially suffering 'torments from the burning itching sensa- tions. Keep a cloth over the frostbite sat- urated with a mixture of one drachm of laudanum, one drachm of spirit § of rose- mary and oue ounce of diluted lead water. The unpleasant sensatione soon disappear uudor the infloence cif this simple remedy. Signs of the Tongue. The tongue is the indicator of the system. A white coated tongue indica* febrile dis- turbance ; a brown, moist tongue indicates disordered digestion ; a brown, dry tongue indicates depressed vitality, as in typhoid conditions and blood poieoning ; ared, moist tongue indicates debility, as from ex- hausting discharges; a red, dry tongue in- dicates pyrexia, or any inflammatory fever; a "strawberry" tongue' with prominent papillte, indicates scarletfever or 'rothelm ; a red, glazed tongue indicates debility, with want of assimilative power of digeetion ; tremulous, flabby tongue indicates delirium tremens ; hesitancy in protruding the tongue indicates concussion of the brain; protrusion at one side indicates paralysis of the muscles on that side. TEE Ufa 01' WORDS. The word "toboggan" should be pro- nounced with the second o long, as in open. The word " polyg " is in constant use among the people of Utah in conversation ani in print to designate a Mormon. Citizens of Depere, Wis., are about to take vote to determine whether the name of 'their city shalId spelled with a small or with a capital P. ,. A student of Indian tongues declares thes$ the word "Chicago",was used by tgi - tawatomme Indians long ago to designat4S a place where wild onions abounded—literally, an onion patch. The term "pigeon English," used to de - designate the Itngua, franca which passes current between English -s -peaking people and the Chinese, is said to be a corruption of "business English," the word " pigeon" being the nearest approach that a Chinaman can make to the pronunciation of the Eng- lish word, "business." • Miss Fortescue the actress told a report- er the other day that the ajective "elegant" is never used in London in cultivated con- versation. "In America, it is rightly and I notice frequently used," said she; "but in England we use it but for one thing in the whole world, and what do you think that is ? In advertisements of flats, 'elegant new flats , to let,' you know." Itis the proper thing in St. Paul and Min- neapolis now to call a dude of a certain class "fade." To come strictly under this de- signation a dude must be not too old nor too stout, and his raost prominent characteris- tics must be a melancholy mien and a habit of profoundeine where speechn not abso- lutely necessary. He should smile only rarely, and in taking leave of a person should vanisix gently as if fading away. Health Hints. Tea th a stands a long time steeping, and tea that , develops tannic acid, and is consequen. ly powerfully astringent. and un- wholesome. To prevent the usual discoloration attend- ing a bruise, apply a cloth wrung out of very hot water, and renew -frequently until the pain ceases. It is said. that the worst case of toothache or neuralgia coming from the teeth may be cured speedily and delightfully by the ap- plication of a bit of clean cotton saturated 131 & solution of ammonia. Barleywater nialses a refreshing drink for feverish patients. Put a large teaspoon- ful of well -washed pearl barley into &pitch- er ; our over it boiling water; cover it and let it remain til cold • then drain off the weeei, add the jeice of a lemon, and sugar to the taste. Fresh hot bread made with yeast is a must unwholesome and even dangerous food for the weakly and dyspeptic. It becomes a doughy, insoluble mass in even the health- iest etomoch and cannot be permeated by the gastric fluid, and then passes in this state into the intestines. Baked 'milk is said to be good for con- sumptives and invalids, and is prepared as follows: Put half a gallon of milk in a jar and tie it down with writing paper. Let it stand in a moderate oven for eight or ten hours,when it will be found to have the consistence of cream. "Cooked Gluten.' is an invaluable break- fast dish for nervous dyspeptics with irrit- able stomachs. It is a steam cooked pre - per ation of the most life-sustaining element oW.heat, rich in nitrates and phosphates. It needs no cooking, but simply to be stir- red in boiling water or milk. It is eaten with milk simply seasoned with a little salt. Flaxseed lemonade is excellent in the commencement of a cold, and is made as fol- lows: Steep three hours in a covered pitcher four teaspoonfuls of flaxseed in a quert of boiling water, to which is added the juice of two lemons and sugar to taste. 't proves too thick for drinking, stir in col evater with the lemon iuice and sugar. _ A. good bath for aching and inflamed feet is made by putting one pint of wheat bran and one ounce of saleratus into a foot bath adding orie gallon of hot water. As soon as the water has cooled enough for the feet to bear jt, put them in and soak them far about fifteen minutes, and the relief will be almost iinmcdiate. Repeat every night for a week. Many housekeepers object to the open grate fire that imparts such a cheerful air to the eitting room on a evinti•y night, ori the seore of dust and coal dirt. Nevertheless, a grate fire is one of the healthiest means of heating a room, and, introducing a free cir- culation of air, keeps the room well ventie kited. Steam heat would be excellent did it not, by its exceseive dryness, frequently produce unpleasant headache. Much ill health may be avoided by pay- ing attention to little things.

As revealing a profound faith in the trustworthiness of phrenology., the following case leaves little to be deemed. The obser- vation was made by Capt. Kennedy: in com- mand of one of Her Majesty's ships upon the Pacific coast. It shows an unusual splitting up of the moral sensibilities when a man can practice villainy, and at the same , time have the honesty to own that it is vil- lainy. Writing of San Blas, the captain says: / fear the morality of this place is at a very low ebb. On one occasion I gave a passage to an individual residing not a hun- dred miles off. This man had been to San Francisco on special business, and was re- turning home. He told me he had done pretty well, and showed me, with great ride and satisfaction, a number of labels to e pasted on cigar -boxes, the cigars being manufactured on his premises. Every well-known Havana brand was repeesented, having been very exactly forged in San Francisco, so that, as he explained, his customers could be supplied with the best article at the shortest notice, and at the lowest possible price. Besides these, he had a large collection of assorted wine labels, lac similes of most famous brands, to be placed on his bottles eo.ntaining the most abominable compound. On my asking him if he considered this style of dealing to be honest, he said, "Well, captain, fact is, when I was in California went to a phrenologist, who examined my head carefully for some time without re- mark ; at last he exclaimed,— "Why, sir, you mast be a scoundrel" And the man added, with ingenuous candor, "1 am a scoundrel." The Test of a Man's Charaoter. Tho sharpest test of a man's character is in his treatment of what is in his power and wholly below him. Motives of self-interest are sufficiently strong and numerous to pro- duce irreproachable conduct toward super- iors or equals in strength or knowledge. They have it in their power to defend them- selves from attack, to bring persons to account for misdoings, to resist injuries. Much of what renders life vahiable is in their hands to bestow or withhold, When therefore we so order our conduct as to con- ciliate and please those who oan thus con- trol our happiness and welfare, it unty be a token of intelligence, but it does not indicate , nobility of character. When, however, 3V0 come into relations with those who have nal such power, who must accept without appeal what we choose to give them, who have no more substantial reward to bestow than gratitude or affection, and no severer penalty then secret and impotent wratla, vee show something of our true selves by the way in which we treat them.

From this room we enter the General office—where the *utmost activity prevails, yet entirly devoid of bustle or oonfusion—a result of that systematic 50 - bion which regulates the management of the entire establishment. Hero, the extensive mail matter is received, its orders, applications for medicine, and general correspondence assorted and assigned to the special departments, the oases for treattueat careful- ly arranged, olassified, ancl prepared for the Doctor's speciai study and opinion—each case being personal. ly diagnosed by him before iinal action is taken there- on, and a report made to the patient. The force employed numbers twenty-tbree persons—ten of whom have been in the Dootorai servioe for thirteen years. And who occupy corresponding positions of in:portent:le, it may here be appropriately remarked that the recent decision of several large firms, to divide their yearly profits with their employes, is an adoption of a long-established custom of this offloe—Dr. Root having long advocated this mutual 00-operation,and fully Illustrated its advantage by the very coi/era, able circumstances of his employes. Passing into the Printing Department—wherein the enormous supply of Circulars, Treatises, and other printed matter pertaining to his remedy are prepared, and through the mailing, packing and shipping rooms, each of whioh is fully provided with •au the conveniences of safety and dispatch, We come to the Laboratory, where an Mee et the magnitude of the business is obtained. Huge steaming boilers, which reduce the vegetable Ingredients of the Elepizone to a neuid forms com- pact sweating boxes, that extract certain curative properties from other peouliar medicinal herbs; long rows of percolators, vast cooling tanks, long relays of receptacles for the preparation, preparatory to bot- tling, together with the' numerous scientific and in. gen ous apparatus employed, attest the care, skill, and profound study and researeh of the originator of this wonderful prooess, by which thousauds of Epil- eptics have been Cured for Life. A glance at the shipping book for 1886 shows that 13.785 bottles of this Intilliable Remedy for Epilepsy was sent to Physicians, alone, for their individual practice, while the Druggists sold 53,207 bottles, and to Patients treated during the same year,. 290,236, making a total of 302,228 bottles of !gagman& If this great remedy did not have merit it could not "get there" %such greet quantities. The immediate advantages of Dr. Root's specific method of treatment hes in its originality, effective- ness, and cheapness to the patient, plaoing a cure within the reach of all. A Baca TTiat Bottle is first sent to those who apply, and a carefully prepared statement of the case is then required from the pa- tient. From this the ease is thoroughly diagnosed by the Doctor, and the patient treated as successfully by mall as by a personal consultation- • Shellanted too Much.

Lubon's 'beanie on Diseases of Men. The book will be sent sealed to any address on reoei t of The Queen's Jubilee, The Queen's Jubilee is at hand. All over I the Empire the sounds of preparation are heard. Schemes for the celebration are being everywhere broached, and the hat is in many places being sent vigorously round in order to secure the needful. All right. ! It is no common affair, and it ought to be celebrated with all enthusiasm. • Indeed it is unique in British history. Queen Vic- toria has actually reigned during all these years, and few, if any, will say that, taken all in all, she has not reigned well. None ' of the other three sovereigns, usually men- tioned in this connection, did the same. Henry III., no doubt, nominally reigned 56 years, but then he came to the throne a mere 1 boy of nine years of age. Edward III. was on the throne for 50 years, but for some of the latter years of his reign he was ' little better than a dotard and a fool. And while George died in the sixtieth year of his reign, yet he was actually insane for ; more than twenty years and nearly so for ; the remaining forty years. In contrast with all these Victoria has for all these fifty years borne the burden and discharged the duties of Royalty with all good fidelity and success, and to all appearance may continue to do so for a good many years to come. By all means let her Jubilee be celebrated with all loyalty and enthusiasm, but let it also , be done in some reasonable and useful I fashion. It is surely not necessary to burn a great deal of powder in the shape of fire- works and salutes, or to throw away money in ways as foolish as they are wasteful. Let the celebration take such shape all over the Empire as will tell to coming generations not only that Victoria was honored and be- loved, but that her subjects were sensible and tasteful. By the way, it cannot be said that the British Sovereigns have been a long-lived race. The Queen is not yet 68 years of age, and yet only five of her redecessors have been older when they died. She may very reasonably reckon upon living other ten years. If she does, she will, be older than any who have gone before her with the ex- ception of I er grandfather, who was 82 at the time of his death. These long-lived sovereigne are rather hard upon their suc- cessors. The Prince of Wales is already he his 46th year. In, another ten he will be 56 which will leave Min but a narrow margin for actual Kingship. Still it is to be hope.d he is too good a son to worry. Old Age. As old age oreeps over a person, the con- ditions of the animal organism changes, and they possess lees elasticity to meet and over- come such strains as can beinvited with im- punity in youth. Exposure to inclenient weather, the sudden shock of good or bad news, are frequently sufficient to terminate a life which with care would be able to endure many more years of active usefulness. It is therefore highly desirable that persons ot advancing years should make their per- sonal habits the subject of oareful study, and with the help of some wise counseller regulate their daily living in accordance with the changedconditions of their animal econonly.
