IN CONVALESCENCE. This is » period during which th'osa who


Kaye been very ill are apt to be either aom©-- what neglected or mistreated. I can aesuro whomsoever it concerns that the conval^ •went, or those who are getting gradually well, and would get well entirely were there no put-backs, have not their sorrows to seek.


Plainly speaking, tho doctor has pronounced them out of danger, and probably has told them they have “ nothing to do except get well,” and tho relatives who have nursed him 10 tenderly while he hung ’ twixt life and death now jump to tho conclufiion that he is quite recovered. A terrible mistake, and one which has millions of lives. Conval­ escence is :< and tli0ii"h v..

plaoe as of yore iif the table, if you value hia life you will not force him. Quietness is moat essential; in. fact, it is life itself. Solid food will fever, and it may kill. Sitting up a long time wearies tho whole animal economy, and fatigue is often fatal. Too much talking tires, and argument excites tho still weak brain and produces irritation and sleeplessness.


THE TRAINED NURSE. The value of a trained nurse is never better


proved than during convalescence. She will obey the doctor’s instructions to the letter, and will strenuously avoid exciting the invalid


either in body (by food or drink, or ill-chosen forced exercise) or the mind by talking or reading. The nurse knows well that ilie brain and heart are still weak, and she knows, too, the value of the recumbent position, and that Nature cures only by slow and almost imper­ ceptible degrees, so that if a change of pos­ ture is indicated it must bo carefully ar­ ranged. The first day up should bo spent in an easy-chair. the second also, but varied by email trial trips of walking up and down the floor. Ablution of face. feet, and hands with tepid water is very grateful. Bed and pillows ■hould he the easiest of the easy, the weight and w’arinth of the bodclotlios carefully ■tudied, and, above all. tlic food and drink^. Fresh air during convalescence is a sine qua non, and tlie patient will bo able to ait out of doors a while every day witliout fatigue. But do not Iiurry him off to tlie seaside. Let me warn you that strong seaside air has killed many and many a weakly jiatient. Never hurry anyone in anytiiing when getting well. Let that be your rule, for a (•niivalcscent is as weak ns a baby for a considerable time. Don’t you forget that.

DON’T CATCH COLD.


I shall now give a few seasonable hints on this point, which I think


of middle age, as well as delicate woiuoil ■‘hould not forget.


Even before one is thirty one ought to know a little about one’s idiosyncrasy. Well, some catcli cold in one way. some in aiiotlier. N.B. —I am not talking of infectious cntnrrli such as is caught in tlie crowded, lindly-ventilated churches. Well, anyhow, some catch a chill if they walk bare-headed even in a room. These should wear a skull-cap or smoking- cap, especially if sitting near an open win­ dow. Some catcli a chill thrnugli tlie feet, and these must \vear thick noolloii .socks or stockings, that protect also tlic ankles, 'riieso last should also bo well covered. 1 liavo known many a case of rbonmatism begin in the ankle-joints. and immediately above them, where there i.s little or no flesh to cover tho bones. People who are well hardened off, and who would raUier want their breakfast than their cold tub, Inif take good caro to want neitbor. seldom eatcli cold. and. if tliey do, it does not'last long. Others eatcli cold easily tlirougli brow and nose, if expo.’?ed to tho air. as in driving against the wind. 'Hie front of the chest is well clad in muscles, but how about the.back? Just tlie spot between the shoulders wliere the neck jr*ins the back of tlio chest, is tlie most vtdnerablc part of all. Tt is loft alinest liare in )*ed, and is seldom jiroiierly covei’ed liy dev.

colds are often takmi. and flieso are usually of a dangerous oluraeifr. UVar a broad strip of soft naon;>l around ilu? loins, and you will seldom have a baukaclie. CODDLING OVEB Tflli: EIRE.

Ihi* Imck from cervix to saerum is left in tim cold. If you must sit near tlie fire mi a wluiry night, let it bo in a euskinued high-backed chair'. Any­ how, protect back and loins.

The ladies of our Royal Family believe in doing in Rome, as the Romans do, and Queen Alexandra simply wore a hat— a large pic­ turesque creation, quite unlike the small

WO.MEN .-\i\D COUNTRY LIFE. Of late years, the daughters of educated


people lia\'C recognised tho advantage ot a training in gardening, poultry and bee keeping, dairying, and small fruit and vege­ table culture. Some who have passed through the' curficuhim of Studley Castk', or Swanley College, have obtained excellent positions as liead gardeners, wliilst otliers iiave succeeded in winning a living from tlie land by the cultivation of the minor rural industries. It is only by hard work and incessant application that sudi results


i are attained, but not a few have succeeded j in gaining a position of independence by ! such pursuits. In the summer tlicre is to i be an exhibition at tho Botanic Gardens, in London, of the work of “ women garden­ ers and farmers, ’ which will be full of in­ terest to all who hope to see country life made fuller and more acceptable to women.


! THE EMPLOYMENT OF BARM.-UDS.


, The movement for the abolition of bar- ■ maids, lias extended to the metropolis, and i the prospect of legislation which would iii- i terfere with their employment, is causing some concern to the thousands of women and girls engaged in the bars. The Bishop of Southwark has for some time taken an active part in this agitation, and the Home Secretary recently expressed himself in .strong. terms against the employment barmaids. 'I'here is no doubt a good ileal to be said against their presence in b.irs, and puldic houses, but it would be a very .serious thing to deprive thousands of re­ spectable, and well-conducted women, of their means of livelihood. As a nation' we are not ffaul of experimenting in the direc­ tion of paternal or material legislation, and it is very doubtful if public opinion would support such a drastic meastire.


THE LENTEN SEASON. The people who observe ;i strict absten­


tion from social pleasure during the Lenten season, are not a great many, yet - one notices a marked change in the api>earance of the streets ;tnd shop windows during the forty days before Easter. Bright and gay colors arc much less conspicuous in out of door toilettes, the prevailing tones being bl.ack and whiife, mixed witli a spninklilng of the neutira.1 .shades.. To a great extent we have Itecome “ Continentalised ” in the secular observance of Lent, and a certain degree of sobriety is expected of us in our dress, amusements, and social intercourse.

SiS


' pride themselves on wearing the right thing, the old sii]U‘rstition as to the bad luck wliich opals bring in tlieir train seems to be dying


• out altogether. There was a time wlien a man would hesitate seriously before pre­ senting an opal ring to tlie lady of his choice, knowing that she would probably be far too supcrstiitioas to weiw it, ei’en if she could bring herself to accept a gift which was sepjiosed i.o he tlu* forerunner of all kinds of misfortune. Only to those wlio were born in October were opals sup­ posed to bring good luck. We have how­ ever, changed all that and tho common sense young woman of to-d.ay, with her healthy affection for outdoor exercise, the g.ay disregard of the superstitious fancies of the past, wears with a light heart her opal ring, and opal ornaments, and goes on her wav rejoicing. k in g ’ ALPHONSO’S DISLIKE OF


OP.ALS. Despite the fact that the young Queen of


Spain was born in October, and that opals should, according to old-ivorlil notions, bring her good luck. King Alphonso never permits Queen 'Victoria Eugenic to wear these particular gems. The reason for such a decision may probably be found in the following story. Alphonso XII. of Spain— the present King’s father— pre­ sented an opal ring to his young wife Mer­ cedes, and her death occurred shortly .-ifter- wards. The late King then gave this ring to his sister Mari.a del Pilar and she died a few days later. The ring was next hand­ ed over to Princess Christina, the late King’s Si.ster-in-law, and she too diedi in the course of a few montlis. Alphonso then decided to wear the ring himself, .and a little later his unhappy life came to an end. The Queen Mother, determined that on one else should wear tliis ill-starred opal, attached the ring to a gold cliain. which now liangs round the neck ol the Virgin of ■ Almudena in ^fadrid.


EAS'niR CARDS. The shops are trying to revive tlie fashion


of sending Easter cards, which was so popu­ lar a dozen years or so ago. They are displaying dainty novelties of this descrip­ tion, as well as in the form ot Easter eggs, but most people are satisfied with the ordin­ ary picture post-card, even at Christmas time, and it is scarcely likely that the inib- lic will again take to sending Easter cards. There are signs too, that jicople are getting a llltic tired of picture ]iostcards. 'I'hey have lost the .attraction of novelty, and have suffered somewhat from heconiiug as- ociated with the things that, are cheap and


.j.asty .and also vulgar. The loving wife who left her husband at home when she went for her holidays, because, as she said., she must have someone to send picture post­ cards to, has probably few imitators now-

THE DARK ROOM.' To the photographer’s friends,' his


‘ dark-room ’ resembles the famous “ black hole of Calcutta,” in that they both possess in a very striking degree the elements of darkness and noisomeness, and also a cer­ tain degree of mystery which appeals to their imagination. In reality, however, the dark room is not entirely dark, but must be illuminated by suitable red or ruby rays. All white light, however, must be excluded. If the photographer is lucky enough to be able to have a room entirely at his own dis­ posal, such as an attic, cellar or outhouse* his attention must first be called to making an opaque frame for the window. This is best effected by making a light frame of wood slightly larger than the window, and covering it with two or three thicknesses of brown paper. It is easily placed in position, and c.an be quickly pulled down again when developing operations are com­ plete. A good thick curtain hung above tlie door on a few hooks, and reaching down to the floor will effectually exclude light in that quarter. Now let the eyes get accustomed to the


darkness for a few minutes, and see if .any light i.s still coming in through any chinks unnoticed before.


If it is— go for those


chinks with brown paper, and stuff them up completely. If you don’t you will run the risk of fogging your plates, especially if they .are of the “ Special Rapid ” variety. If )'ou have a sink and water tap in your dark room you are in luck’s way, for that is the height of luxury. If not you will have to manage as well as you can with a bucket. ■ \n amateur of my acquaintance carries all his washing water (for his plates, not his face) up two flights of st.airs and does not grumble!) You will also require two or three shelves


on which to put your bottles, which I hope by this time are all nicely labelled and full of solutions, with whicli you are going to work woirders this coming season. ft is a time-worn axion that " Cleanliness


is next to Godliness ” ; but in photography, cleanliness comes first. On the care taken in the operations in the dark room depends nearly all your future success. A developer contaminated with ‘ Hypo ’ or a dish with the remains of an old solution in it, will produce marks on a negative which it i.s practically impossible to remove. So let me again impress upon the amateur the need of care and method in the dark rpom. Have evorything just to hand, and be able to put your hand on any bottle in the dark with out knocking half your apparatus over. When you have finished developing, swill your dishes out immedi.ately; do not leave them for two or three days, as the chemicals affect the porcelain and discolour it. Just a few words here to the amateur


who has left his dark room alone since tlie close of last season. Have a thorough ‘ spring-clean.’ Let every corner of your dark room come into contact with soap and brush, wielded preferably by th'e “ feminiine authorities.” They will do it better than voii, as they liai’e had ye.ars of experience in such m.atters. Clear out all old bottles, brown paper, empty plate boxc.s, etc., throw away all old solutions; it is delusive economy to keep tlicm. Label all your bottles afresh, and on each label put the formula of the solution, so as to facilitate matters when you are making up your solu­ tions. Labels specially printed for this purpose can be bought in books and are well worth the small oiitl.ay. Your dishes ami measuring glasses will very likely have stains on them. To remove these entirely the best way is to rinse them with a solution of Hydrochloric .Acid (ordinary commercia will do). I oz., and water lo ozs. (add the acid slowly to the water). To get in the corners of the dishes use a rag on the end of a stick. When using this acid be care­ ful not to get any drops of it on your hands or clothes. If you do they will leave their trade-mark behind. .After using the acid swill the dishes and measures with clean water ami stand on edge to drain.


A FEW DARK ROOM HINTS WORTH REMEMBERING.


Dark room cleanliness is one of tlul


secrets of successful negatives. Wlien you’ve finished with your measure


glasses fill them with clean water. The easiest way to keep them clean is lo keep them always standing when not in use, full to the brim with xvater. Dishes after cleaning should be turned


upside down to dry; and alw.ays keep them face downwards on the shelves. They will then only get dusty on tho outside— where it dosen’t matter. When you’ve finished with your washing

tank turn it also upside down to drain. If you leave it right way uii, a drop or two of water will certainly remain at the bottom, and in time will rust it. If you .are troubled by a glass stopper


sticking in a bottle nock try the following: Tap the stopper gently all round with your pen knife handie, if that does not loosen


it, hold tlie neck of the bottle over the flame of a spirit lamp, turning the bottle constant’ly rouml. 'Hio neck will (dr oii^ht to) expa.nd and so laosten tlie stopper. IE this won’t release it knock tho neck off and transfer the contents to another bottle, and' take care in future to always smear your glass stoppers with v.aselinc. If . you do this they will never stick. Keep your fingers out of the dishes as


much as possible when developing. Al­ ways use a plate lifter (a bent liairpin \vill do); .and keep a separate lifter for the Hypo and for the developer.


PHOTOGRAPHY IN WINTER. Why, oh why, do 75 per cent, of amateurs


, in photognaphy put away their cameras as_ soon as they get back from their summer- hohd.ays, and never get them out again till once njore the treos are in full leaf,'and


the skies are blue overhead? Little do they guess that, as far as pictorial photo­ graphy is concerned, they are missing the best months of the year; the trees are shorn of their leaves, the fields are bare andper- hops the hill tops are mantled in white, nevertheless the winter landscapes have a charm of their own xvhich is not to be en­ countered in the summer months. Let my readers turn their thoughts back to Box­ ing Day last year. It was a typical old time Christmas. The snow was blown in deep drifts here, and had left the grass bare a few yards further on; the sun shone in all its brilliancy and cast shadows in­ numerable on the mantle of white which clothed mother earth on that lovely Decem­ ber morning. What a day for snow scenes! and yet I wonder how many amateurs av.ailed themselve.s of the opportunity and secured some records of the all too fleeting snow? The professionals were busy, as is evidenced by the state of the stationers windows even now. And yet in three hours, between West Bradford and Brungerley, on the morning of DecemUeir 26th!, tgo6, I only encountered one photographer who, like my­ self, was on ‘ snow scenes bent.’ But it is .a little late now for talking about snow, so let us say a few words about pictorial landscape photography in March. In the first pl.ace use a Large stop; do not


stop your lens down to ffiq “ to get eveiy- thing sharp ” and then expect a ‘ pictorial ’ result.


'W’h.at you want to reproduce on


your negative is the impression of ‘ atmos­ phere ’ ‘ distance,’ call it what you like. The charm of a winter picture, or one taken at this time of the year, is its mys­ tery and suggestiyeness. The outline of the trees should be dim and uncertain, and the mist should hang over pools and streams as if trying to hide something from the lens ot the camera. A small stop kills the'se effects; therefore use a large one, F8 for preference, but if you .are used to exposing at F22 or 32, you must not forget to shorten the exposure. Another subject worth the amateurs’ coiv-


slderation, is the reflected light of the sun on the river. If light clouds are floating .across the face of the sun so much the bet­ ter; the conditions are ideal. Point your camera directly at the sky near the sun, but take care, if possible not to include the sun. A few trees or bushes included in the foreground at tho edges of the plate, help the ‘ composition.’ Give a short ex­ posure, s.ay 1/50- sec. .at F8 on a special rapid pl.dte, and keep the negative thin. The best part of the river at this time of the vear for these effects, lies above West Bradford, on the Lancashire side, and the sun is at the best position between 2 and


4 o’clock. (Next week, on Renovating Apparatus). [“ Tripod ” will be pleased to answer any

TERRIBLE SUFFERING FROM PILES ENDED BY ZAiM-BUK.


Mr. Alfred Garner, d 72, Colville Road,


Sparkbrook, Birmingham, gave a full ac­ count of his sufferings from piles, and his wonderful cure by Zam-Buk, to a represen­ tative of the “ Birmingham Echo,” ;is fol­ lows :— “ Altliough very troublesome, the liemorrhoid»;'were dry at first, and did not prevent me following my employment. A local doctor said lie would soon put me all right. As time went on, however, 1 got worse, and the piles commenced to bleed. They caused me agonising pain, and soon my strength began to fail me. As 1 seemed to be getting worse, I consulted another medical man, after two years under the first, but a long turn with liis treatment had the same result. “ I tried all kinds of advertised remedies,


but couldn't even get relief. 1 was as often away from work as at it. How I used to crawl to work at all was a won­ der. I was too weak to stand, and the ex­ cruciating pains I suffered are indescrib--) able. Medical advisers constantly advised ail operation, but 1 could never bring my­ self to submit to it. “Ac last 1 made up my mind to give Zaiii- .A small quantity was so

cooling and soothing that I purchased a large box, and continued with the Zam-Biik treatment as directed. By the time the second box was finislxed the bleeding had stopped, and the pain^ were not nearly so severe as before. Although the contents of twelve boxes were necessary to completely cure me, I was more than satisfied with


’ the result. I have let twelve months elapse before stating my case, in order to make suro ■ that my recovery was pennaiient, f have never felt the slightest trouble since I stopped using Zam-Buk, and can walk, cycle, and work without the slightest incon­ venience or ill-effects.” Zaiti-Buk is a real healing balm, made \


of Nature’s rich medicinal liorbs, and brings rest, comfort, and a cure to the worst suf­ ferers.
