Hot water should be always on hand when there is siickncss in the house. A screen is a valliable addition to I a fick room, as it can be used to protect the bed from drafts, and the patient's eyes from a strong light, or to shut from sight any part of the room wliere work is done or where there is temporary disorder. I It is also a very good idea to have ; a fever-thermio meter to teet the tera- 'perature, and eveiy mother should know how to use it. Have a shelf in your closet or clip- board devoted to bundles of old muslin for bandages and plasters, and rolls of flannel for hot applica- Jtions or when it is necessary to re- tain heat. It is also good policy to keep ab.^orbent cotton and surgi- case ped cream. Stir on ice until thick, ; ^al plaster on hand, to use in and fill glasses.

Strawberi-y Jelly.â€" 1 quart straw- berries, one large cup sugar, Juice of one lemon, two-thirds of a pack- age of gelatine soaked in one cup cold water, one pint boiling water; mash the berries and strain through a coarse mwslin; mix sugar and letiv on juice with the soaked gelatine; pour over the boiling water; stir un- til clear; then strain through a flan- nel bag; add the strawberry juice; strain again without squeezing the bag; wet a mould with a cylinder in the center; i)Our in the jelly and set on ice to form. When serving fill the center with sweetened whipped cream. Canned Strawberries. â€" Do only a few berries at a time; hull, wash and discard e.ll under or overripe berries; weigh j'our fruit, and to ev- ery pound adid a quarter of a pound of white sugar; till fruit and sugar, and place in a ves- sel of cold water; put over the fire and let it come to the boiling point; as the juice is exhausted and the fruit settles, fill with berries in oth- er jars, until part of the jars are full to the brim; do not stir or ntash, ))ut pour one jar into anoth- er carefully; seal before rcrao\ang from the fire; take the kettle off, and wthen the water has cooled remove sealed jars of fruit. If jars are per- fectly sealed the fruit will keep per- fectly. i Strawberry Preserves. â€" Allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of strawberries; put them in a kettle in layers of fruit arvd sugar and set the kettle on the back of the stove until a syrup is formed. Now allow it to come to n boil, stirring occa.sionally from the bottom of the kettle. Spread thinly on platters and set in the sun to dry. Strawbcn-y Jam. â€" .Allow three- quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of strawberries; put the berri'js and sugar together in the preserving kettle and mash fine; boil for twenty nnnutes. stirring to keep from burning and to make the jaui of a smooth consistency; po<ir into jelly tumblers and seal like jelly when it is cold.

Add half n pint of cold water and let it strain through a fine wire strainer until clear; add the strained iuico of one lemon and one and one-half pints of cold water; mix and set in the refrigerator until needed. DE. HAMMOND'S OPINION. Expert Testimony on Wheeling â€" The Revival. Dr. Hammona, one or :;ow York's most foremo.st physicians, and an active member of the New York Ath- letic Club, was recently interviewed by a reprcseiitalive of the New York press, and asked his opinion as to the merits of cycling as exercise. The doctor stated very decidedly that he considered it absolutely the best possible, if taken with discretion. He of course excluded all persons with very weak hearts, or people of extremely delicate constitutions, but said that nearly every patient go- ing through his hands rode a bicycle when convalescent, and that it was remarkable what progress tliey made towards health. In Canada there has been an un- prece'donted revival in wheeling, and it can be tra'-cd to no better cause than to the introduction of the Hy- gienic Cushion Frame.

Thomas and John were two broth- ers in the same class, and they were not the brightest boys in. the school. "How do you spell your name, John?" asked the master, as a feel- er, on the lirst day. "J-o-h-n," responded John wili; pride. "Right. And now, Thomas, spell yours." 'â- T-o-h-ui-a-s," responded Thomas with as much pride and co.^fi'dence as John had shown. "Oh, no, that isn't right," cor- rected the master. "Try again." Thomas made several tries, and always the same. "Well," he said at last, in atone and manner that would admit of no argument, "if J-o-h-n spells Jo-hn. why don't T-o-h-m-a-s spell Thojn- as ?" And the master hasn't yet been able to explain clearly why it doesn't. railioading, â- ' and these words put the argument in the proverbial nut- shell.

A glacier, when it dislodges itself and sails away over the Arctic ocean, never travels alone. In the wake of e\ery largo one floats a line of similar cimipanions. The Eski- mos call this phenomenon "the duck and ducklings,' and any one who has watched the iirogress of the wild duck followed by her brood will ap- preciate the aptitude of the name. Strange as it may seem, plants grow and blossom upon these great ice mountains. Wlien a glacier is at rest, moss attaches itself to it, pro- tecting the ice beneath, just as saw- dtist does. After a time the moss decays and forms a soil, in which the "seeds of buttercups and dande- lions, brought by the wind, take root and flourish. Tho:e who have traveled much in .\ix:tic lands say the poppy does not bloom during the brief northern summer. Over 1,500 British vessels plying in Kastern waters are manned by Chinese crews.

The pea-Tiut, or groutul-nut, ripens under the ground, hence its name, it has a tiny, four-leaved plant, something like the leaves of the tre- foliuni, and, as it grows, so the stem gets pushed under the earth and forms the fruit, or nut. It grows in the warmer countries, and wa^ known to Fliny and other an- cient celebrities. Until quite recent- ly, the pea-nut was regarded as synonymous with vulgar tastes, but it has" won Its w.<\y into favor in a manner that is rather startling, and is ousting many of its ftllows, con- sidered much .-juperior, from the des- sert table.
