Many infants are found dead in bed. and
1t is attributed to have been oyerlaid bv

Death was caused by the want of pure air.

Just as abhorrent as if we took into our
mouths the matters of sore or any other
excretion.
The most destructive typhoid and putrid
levers are known to arise directly from a
number OF persons living in one same
small room
Those who can afford it should therefore
arrange to have each member of the fam

about the same age, and in good health
If the health be much unequal both will

1t is the bodily emanations collecting

A Slight Mistake.

The senior Mr.. Gay, of the National
Hotel. Washington, bears quite resem-

correspondent of the New York Times tells
the following story:
A stranger who supposed he knew mine
host very well put at the National the 9th

next morning little cross, he met Gen.
Cass there who had fine suit of rooms in

said:

soon returned, and as luck voild have it,
the stranger met him full in face again, but
In another position. This time he al sure
