Daily Democrat THE CAKE OFTIIE SICK, To chinge the under sheet.roll itiength. wise j that is, jbegin at the ride. Fush soiled heet and all coverings toward the patient, leaving the mattress bare. On this lav the clean rll, tucking on side under the mattress, unroll it towards the patient and move hi;n over the roll on the smooth space, keeping him covered with the top blanket. Go lo the ether side of the bed, jvjII out under blanket and soiled sheet finish unrallinj clean sheet and tuck it in. Iiy the clean upper heet over the top blanket and cover it with another blanket and thin white spread. When these are in place, remove the blankets that are next the patient, and he will be left lying between clean sheets In a clean nightdress aid thoroughly bathed, without having b;en exposed for an instant to the chance o! taking cold. Opep the wincow at the top, and if there s::ms too much air near the bed, place a s:reen betw-een that and the window. If njne is at hand, improvise one by throw ing a shawl over a clothes-horse.or fasten ing a coro between two convenient points and hanging a blanket over it. If the window will open only at the bottoin,iack the flannel there. The pillow case should be changed frequently, and the pillow turned as often as can be done without disturbing the patient. A col, fresh sur face next thfl face is very refreshing. Keep the pillow well under the shoulders ; noth ing is more tiring to a weak person than to have the edge come ju:t in the hollow of the neck, throwing the chin forward on the breast. Gently comb and brush the hair, and if there is a beard, keep it washed and free from tangles. If the patient is a woman, part the back hair and braid each portion. It can be coiled high on the head or al lowed to hang in two tails. The nai'.s on both hands and fee-should be caiefullr attended to. If the carpet cannot be removed, sweep it daily w ith a carpet sweeper, or a broom with a cloth wrapped around it, and burn the dust. Wipe the woodwork and furni ture daily with a dainpcloth. Never leave mi'.k standing in a sickroom ; it quickly absorbs impurities. If obliged to wait for a few moments until th inval'd is ready to take it, cover the glass containing it. Make it a rule to leave nothing in the sick room that is not positively needed there. Remove every cup, glass and spoon as soon as used, and wash ail bottles when they are empty. Keep the little table be side the bed covered with a white cloth, and sec that it is always spotless. Be as cheerful as possible and try to leave worries on the other side of the doer. Even when one is very tired and anxious, a resalute effort of the will enables one to do much to overcome the tendency to show it. A calm nurse calms her. patient, and nothing helps on recovery like a mind at rest. Remember while there Is life there is hope,- and never give way to despair while life remains. Many a person who has been give up to die has recovered to years of usefulress. Keep up tiie nourish--ment ss long as it can be swallowed ; it -may be just the stimulation that is needed to turn the scile from death to life. France hates to give up her cherished Panama canal scheme and admit failure. A cew bill for the relief of the enterprise was introduced by the Government in the Chamber of Deputies June 13. It empow ers the liquidator of the company to place, on the best conditions possible and regard less of the legal limit as to price, the Sod, ooof. of the bonds which have not yet been subscribed for. It also autnories a sub scription of J4,ooo,ooof. to cover the expen ses necessary for the maintainance of the works pending an inquiry into the question of the completion of the canal. COLO STORAI.K. The business of freezing meats and fish and preserving perishable products by various systems of freezing and cold stor age has come to be an important feature of commerce. New York City now haseigiit laige establishments devoted to it, with an aggregate capacity of 15,000 ton?, besides many private "plants" belonging to sepa rate produce houses. Some of them use the old process of ire and salt, while others use the ammonia process. Dy the former a temperature of 5 degrees can be reached, and with ammonia it is said the mercury can be sent down to 2odegrees below zero. The freezing material is str,c through pipes which line the large rooms in the refrigerator store houses and become in crusted with tee, keeping the atmosphere crisp, dry and as cold as may be desired. Poultry is the chief cor modify thus pre served, and it is often kept frozen fifteen months. Une firm stored last season 3100 pairs of prairie chickens, 15,000 pairs of grass plover, 600 pairs ofcanvasback ducks and 1300 dozen English snipe. The system saves great loss and enables dealers 'o make special profits on meats and fi uits out of reason. Fruits and nuts are ke?t in a more moderate temperature just ubove freezing. Great quantities of beef and other meats, cgg, vegetables, etc., are kept in these houses, and if proper care is exer cised it is cliimed that the rlavor is im proved by long freezing. 1 lume rule in India is a question that looms up lwforc the British Government with even more of danji-r in it than any other. The education uf the past half century lias wakened many thoughts in the yuung minds of Calcutta Bombay, Madras, and the thoughts are taking shape in formal demands. Russian authorities have sentenctd 41 stu dents of the Cracow University to three day's imprisonment and to pay a fine of 500 florins for singing Polish songs while on an excursion. When the grave digger was asked how he found life he replied that he didn't see very much of it around where he worked. The Emperor Villiam has presented 1 Prince Bismarck with a magni.icent mast iff of the Clm breed to replace the chan cellor's recently deceased pet. The ani mal is rained Tamerlane, and, as he has not been trained to live in the house, he is very uniuly, and the other day he terrified the Princess Bismarck by growling because she suddenly entered the chancellor's li brary. Prince Bismarck began by chain ing Tamerlane to a table, but when the chancellor left his chair the dog gave a leap and brought the table and everything on it crashing to the ground. In the natural course of events the green apple and the green melon and the small boy will soon corue into collision, (Pennsylvania will be known from now on as the Whiskeystone State.
