It: is essential in selecting aome one to watch with a sick tiersort that a healthy per. son with all hie five senses alert to catch any change should be employed. A slightly deaf person will cause great annoyance, become he must exert himself un- duly to make himself heard. The eyesight of the nurse must be perfeet to note any change, her feeling alert to notice change of temperature, her smelling power without a flaw to make sure of fresh, pure atmosphere, and her tastedelicate enough to allow her to appreciate the difference between poorly cooked food and that properly prepared. A fidgety or nervous woman or a selfish or self. absorbed woman is utterly out of place in a alok room. All good housekeepers always keep bund- les of old flannel, ot old linen and of old 'cotton where either can be readily obtained if necessary in the sick -room. Bandages of ,old flannel are invaluable in oases of rheum- atism or of sore throat. In fact, there is nothing elle that will take the place of such half worn goods. New flannel would be of comparatively little use for the purpose. A email flannel bag filled with hops and wrung out in boiling water will soothe to sleep a sufferer from neuralgic pains oftener than anything else. There should be sufficient bandages on the outside to prevent Ito wet- ting the bedding and causing a chill in this way. Persons who have suffered from chronic troubles of the bowels have been frequently cured by wearing continuously, all the year round, a heavy flannel bandage over the abdomen. Choice Iteoipes.

Peace or War. Lord Salieburia speech at the 1,Ianeion Honed dinner was in a line with aeveral other speeches delivered by him at the same place and under substantially the same conditions. The European horizon, he asserts, is black with war olonda ; the great continental nations are spending larger and larger earns in preparing them- selves for battle, but the costs of a struggle carried on under suoh conditions are so enormous that none ot those tnost deeply interested can afford to break the peace. It can at least be said that the past predictions of this] kind which the English premier ha o made have proved true. There is no more likelihood of war in Europe now than there was two, three or four years ago, and on none of these occasions has war °conned. So, on the doctrine of chances, it may be fairly argued fled a continu- ances of peace is reasonably assured at the present time. Bat it seems to be an en- ormous insurance premium to pay for peace to be compelled to keep millions of men con - latently under arms, and to spend hundreds of millions of dollars taken from the hard earnings of She people in wholly unproduc- tive military outlays. If the result of all ot these great armamente is merely the con- tinuance of peace why is it not better to procure the continuance of peace by a dis- bandment of them / We are willing for war purposes to saorificse life and wealth in a per- fectly reckless tnanner, when, if men had only a fair amount of reason, all of the legi- timate ends that Oen be gained by war could be acquired, without auy waste and hardly any expenditure, by peaceful methods.

Sunday Desecration, Bishop Lietlejohn, of the diocese of Long Island, has written a powerful letter on the subjeob of Sunday desecration in the United States. In it he says: "15 Is simply fright- ful to behold the rapid inorease of almost every form of Sunday desecration. I may not here go into the mune of this increase. They are well known to all who have their eyes and ears open and if they are allowed to work on unchecked along the existing tines of lawless and unrestricted indulgence, the American Sunday, as bound up with the best traditions and customs of our social and religious life, will, in the next theenty years, practically outs to exist in our great cities and in their far -spreading suburbs. This consideration ought to be enough to arouse all Christian people of every name from their present apathy. But there is another fea- ture of the case whioh ought to tell with equal force upon all who value, as necessary to the peace and order and well being of the community, the proper enforcement of the law. Bad as are the violation and conte mpt not only of the religions sanctity of Sunday, but also of Ito domestic and imolai proper- ties, and of its labour exemptions for the masses, the open, habitual and wanton defiance of the lawa enaote4 by the State for the protection of the day is only lees fraught with disaster." Commenting upon the Bishop's letter the Brooklyn "Times" says that " there eau be no doubt that the open breaking of the Sunday laws breeds con- tempt for all law, turns the suburbs into pandemonium and tends powerfully to deetroy the character of Sunday as a day of rest.'
