There is a sadneaa coaect4 with the fall or the leares aad tha ckin aaoaths of the year which we have, all recognized. With the spring, hope awakens in the heart aad "all things seam possible," but with the ending ef harvest we realize how much we have left andone, how carelessly we hare sown, how neglectful we have been in cultivating the tender graces that make life worth the living. We all mean so well. We want to walk sprightly, to be kindly . affectioaed aae to another, sweet and unselfish in ear family life. and. faithful -to every duty set before us; but when wa be gin to take account of harvest we realize how far short we have come of what we intended la the spriagtlme. Bat let as not be discouraged, how ever. From the realization of failures past, let us take fresh courage for the future. If any watchful thought ef ears Can make same work the .stronger.

This allows for no alriag whatever, save the very few minutes while the nurse is dressing. The same provis ion holds ia the general wards, where, the patients are able to be up during the day. As soon as the patient rises tha bed is made so that the ward may . look tidy. Sanitary cleanliness la this case is sacrificed to appearance a great mistake, as every good house wife kpows. There is nothing more restful than a well-aired bed. It is act sufficient to throw back the covers from theoot for a make-believe alr iag. They should all be taken of separately, spread over the chairs aear the opened windows, then the mattresses turned aad the pillows shaken and put to air. Every child, boy as well as girl, should be taught to do this; yet ia how many families do children, aad old folk. too. crawl oat of their beds and leave their rooms without even so much as open ing the windows. Every few years even the best of mattresses should be pulled apart aad made over by an expert workman, then covered with fresh ticklag. As for the pillows, they may be made over at home, if one has a closed room in which to work. Empty the feathers Into clean sheets, tie up and take out Into the sunshine, laying them oa boards or a. table where the air can get to them. Beat with a light stick er rug beater, and turn often. Mean time wash the cases or make new, as required. After a few days ia the crisp air and bright sun, the feathers should be elastic like new. Then re turn to the cases.
