every sound. A friend
recovering from a long attack of typhoid fever told me that, while she
was convalescent, she was nearly driven frantic by the fact that her
nurse, writing notes in her room, used a pen which scratched on the
paper. Even this little noise was most distressing to her in her weak
state, and she said that when the same nurse began to sew by her bed she
could hear the sound of the thread going through the muslin, and it
seemed to her so loud and jarring that she could not bear it. I have
known a person suffering from a severe headache in the third story of a
house to be greatly distressed by noises in the kitchen, a long way
below. You see, we cannot be too careful to be very gentle in our
movements and quiet in our manner when we are with those who are not
well.

C. S. M.--In reply to your inquiry concerning the best schools for
studying designing in New York city, we should advise the School
of Applied Design for Women, Twenty-third Street and Seventh
Avenue, tuition $50 a year, and Cooper Institute, Ninth Street and
Third Avenue, tuition almost free. In Philadelphia, the Drexel
Institute and the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial
Art, Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets. In Boston, the Museum
of Fine Arts. Any of these schools is suitable for your purpose.

STARVED TO DEATH

in midst of plenty. Unfortunate, yet we hear of it. The Gail Borden
Eagle Brand Condensed Milk is undoubtedly the safest and best infant
food. _Infant Health_ is a valuable pamphlet for mothers. Send your

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Scott's Emulsion

is Cod-liver Oil emulsified, or made easy of digestion and assimilation.
To this is added the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which aid in the
digestion of the Oil and increase materially the potency of both. It is
a remarkable flesh-producer. Emaciated, anaemic and consumptive persons
gain flesh upon it very rapidly. The combination is a most happy one.

Physicians recognize its superior merit in all conditions of wasting. It
has had the endorsement of the medical profession for 20 years.

_Don't be persuaded to take a substitute!_
