No matter .baw much care one MaYy take to guard against it, sickness comes to every household some time. Then the housewife‘s brain is taxed to the utmost to provide suitable and temptâ€" ing fare for the patient. The preâ€" paration of dishes for an invalid is a perplexing problem, for the food should be nourishing and nicely cooked and served in the daintiest and most atâ€" tractive manmer. In addition, changes are constantly required to tempt & capricious appetite. These few simâ€" vle hints may be of assistance to some wAn. excellent thing for a delicate or exhausted stomach is a glass of hot milk. S&weeten it slightly and put in being heated. One of the most satisfactory ways of giving an invalid raw beef is in a sandâ€" wich. â€" Buttaer lightly on the loaf bread twentyâ€"fouir bhours old, and then slice it very thin. . Scrape a choice, tender piece of beef, season it with salt, and pieces, being sure to remove all the crust. Serve them upon a prettily embroidered doily or a fringed napkin as soon as they are made When a stimiulant is required, try putting a spoonful of whiskey or wine in a cmp of beef tea instead of a glass of milk. also pepper, if the latter can en ; s-pre;d it upon the buttered bread, put another piece of bread over it, and then cut the sanmdwich into Finger Beef tea is a food of which an invalid quickly tires. Try making it into a jelly. Soak for an hour a third of a box of gelatine in water enough to cover it ; then pour over it a pint of hot beef tea ; season to suit the taste, and turnm the liquid into small cups or . individual moulds and set it away to harden. When needed, tiuirn the jelly from ome of the moulds out upon & dainty saucer. _ Served with a nicely toasted cracker it will be very invitâ€" ing, and the same amount of nourishâ€" ment will be obtained as when the beef tea is takem in liquid form. * _ Another liquid of which am invalid soon tires is a raw beaten egg mixed with milk or wine. _ For a change preâ€" pare a cup of hot coffese with cream and sugar, or as it is liked. Have an egg previously heaten very light and gradually stir it into the prepared coffee. stamding the cup holding the coffee in a pan of boiling water to keep it very hot. This makes a change and is very palatable as well as strengthâ€" WORE nds Always give a patient beet juice in a colored glass, a red onme if possible. A good plan is to have for the E.rpose a claret glass or a pretty sherbet cup ornamented in gilt and standing upon a sahcer to match. â€" Put a hot toasted cracker upon the saucer, to be eaten after the juice has been taken. Beef juice offered to an invalid in this manâ€" ner is not so likely to be greeted with the words, "I cannot take it." _ A very soothing drink for ani inflamâ€" ed throat or lungs is flaxseed lemonâ€" ade. To make it put two tablespoonâ€" fuls of flaxseed into an earthen bowl and potar over it a generous pint of boiling water. _ Cover the bowl and place it at tne nack or the stove, where it will keep warm for three or four hours ; strain the liquid, and add to it the juice of two lemons and as much sugar as is desired. This drink may be taken hot or cold as the individual fancies.

For oatmeal gruel, put into a pan over the fire one quart of boiling watâ€" er ; add to it two tablespoonfuls of oatâ€" meal by sifting it in slowly between the fingers, stirring all the while ; when well mixed, cover the saucepan and place it at the back of the fire, where it will just simmer, for two hours.

Seaâ€"~ son generously with salt, a very little sugar, and a suspicion of nutmeg. This fluel should also be served with cream ike the oatmeal gruel. Milk fnuel. or porridge, as it is most generally called, is made thius: Put into a double boiler two cups of milk and half a cup of raisins, and stand it over a good fire; mix a heaping teaspoonful of flour with half a oui)l of cold milk, and stir it imto the boiling milk ; seaâ€" son with salt, and cook a.%ou.t twenty minutes; this gruel may be strained on served with the raisins ; frequently two tablespoonfuls of wine is a%ded to this ponruge as soon as it is removed from the fire. It should be served as mn as possible, as it is best when Rice gruel is made in this manner : Cook x tablespoonful of rice in two aups of water for fifteen minutes; add a generous cupful of milk and a tableâ€" spoonful of flour, into which a gill of cold milk has been stirred, and slowly cook twentyâ€"five iminutes. Season with salt, a dash of mace and a little gugar, if it is liked. Strain and serve very hdt with a crisp bit of toast.

SOME STRANGE BLAZES, A Taper Starts a Fire in Which Th ousand Perished â€" Greasy Rags Burn a Factory â€"The Big Vienna Disaster. iAs far as has at present been asâ€" certained the great fire in Paris which recently shocked all Europe, originated in the explosion of a gas lamp, in itself not a very alarming occurrence, if proper extinguishing appliances are at hand. But more trifling cases have lead to conflagrations before now, some of which, in their turn, have resulted in calamities even greater than the present one. Especially does it recall a catastroâ€" phe at Santiago some years ago, which was almost identical in all its details, except that tha loss of life involved was much heavier. ‘The occasion was & great festival held in the principal church of the Chilian capital, and over 3,000 ladies, the elite of the city, thronged the building. Every corner of the church, from the ground to the ceiling, and especially about the high altar, was a sea of muslin and drapery, flooded with evâ€" ery variety of illumination. Twenty thousand silver lamps were in full blaze, and the acolytes were busy lighting the 2,000 tapers on the principal altar, when a sudden cry of "Fire!" was raised. One of the naked lights had caught the drapery of acolossal figure of the Virgin, and the flames, shooting upâ€" wards, communicated with thousands of yards of blue and white gauze, arâ€" ranged in imitation ‘of clouds, and thickly spangled with silver stars, by means of which the ceiling was decorâ€" For a few brief seconds the doomed gathering did not stir. ‘Then ensued a wild rush for the one door. Numbers escaped, but over 2,000 perished. Simâ€" ilar panics at THE RING THRATRE, VIENNA, in 1881, when 700 souls perished, and at the Nice Opera House in the sama year, when 150 were lost, threw away scores of lives that cooiness and presâ€" ence of mind might have saved. In either case the fire was the reâ€" sult of accidents, trifling in themselves. Of smaller conflagrations brought about by what were for a time inexplicable means insurance has its own records. Some years ago a set of buiidings in course of erection at lslington, Engâ€" land, were one night found to be enâ€" veloped in flames, and but for the timely assistance of the fire brigade, they would quickly have been burnt to the ground | o hnsl For a long time all efforts at invesâ€" tigation proved fruitless, and the conâ€" fession of the party most intimately concerned alone prevented the affair remaining a mystery to the present day Under the impression that a burglarâ€" ious attempt was being made on the Fremises, the unfortunate man carelessâ€" y discharged a gun, and the wadding falling among a quantity of shavings in the uncompleted house on the opâ€" A big fire in London puzzled the salâ€" vage men for a long time. Hunt as they would, they could not find _ a plausible origin in it, until one of them observed the curious habits of the rats who thronged the cellars and basement. He saw one of the rodents deliberateâ€" ly gnaw a lucifer match, the animal bein% greatly astonished when it burst into flame Two factories in the Midlands have been set alight by the spontaneous combustion of greasy rags, while the same action in a mass of damp paper has consumed more than one wareâ€" housa > fls on e Subsequent investigation proved beâ€" yond a doubt that the rats had atâ€" tacked a pile of matches On one occasion a house in the East End of London wias well alight before the firemen arrived. ‘They proceeded with their work as usual, but the watâ€" er from the pipes percolated through into an adjoining building, where a uantity of unsiaked lime was stored. %‘he action of the water on the lime caused a flareâ€"up, by means of which a great factory was entirely consumâ€" ed. Thus in putting out one conflaâ€" gration the firemen kindled another. _ One of the most mysterious fires ever known in England was the burnâ€" ing of the Pantheon in Oxford street It was not until a host of absurd exâ€" planations had been suggested that the real cause was discovered in the inflammation of a compound of Derbyâ€" shire wad and oil, employed by the arlist is painting the scenery. _ _ But the strangest incident of all has| yet to be relatedk in 1889 a cerâ€"| tain insurance company presented its| customers with paper knives, these: being made to look like ivory, but in : reality consisting of gunâ€"cotton and| camphor â€" t B | This mixture ignites at a comparaâ€"| tively low temperature, and a clerk in‘ a London office, leaving his paperâ€"knife near a desk lamp and going out, reâ€"| sulted in the office being‘ burnt to the | round.
