THE INVALID’S ROOM.

Of course you know all about the necessity of absolute cleanliness and sweetness in an invalid’s room, of the importance of fresh air, and just how much sunlight should be let in or excluded, but did you ever think of the importance of making little changes in the furniture and bric-à-brac in this room? To lie week after week and stare at the same pattern on the wall, the same pictures, the same vases and bottles of medicine, is depressing, to say the least.

If you will introduce, from time to time, some little new article—a vase brought from another room, at the same time removing one from this, a different picture, even tho it be only a supplement from an art paper pinned up without frame, a cunning little corner table, or even merely a new and fresh cover—you will add a new joy to the few pleasures possible to your dear invalid. Every little thing of this kind helps to vary the monotony of a sick room.—American Agriculturist.
