LOOK TO THE BEDRooM.-If two persons are to
occupy bedroom during night, let them step
upon a pair Of weighing scales as they retire.
and then again in the morning, and they will
find their actual weight to be at least pound
less in the morning. Frequently there will be
loss of two or more pounds, and the average
loss during the year will be greater than one
pound That is, during the night there is a loss
of pound of matter which has gone off from
their bodies, partly from the lungs and partly
from the poures of the skin. The escaped ma
terial is carbonc acid and decayed animal mat
ter or poisonous exhalatons. This is ditiuSed
throughout the air in part, and in part absorbed
by the bed-clothes. If single ounce of wool or
cotton be burned in room. it will so complete
" saturate the air with smoke that one can hard
" breathe, though there can only be an ounce
of foreign matter in the air If an ounce of cot
ton be burned every half hour during the night
the air will be kept continually saturated with
smoke unless there can be an open door or Win
dow for it to escape. Now, the sixteen ounces
of smoke thus formed are far less poisonous than
the sixteen ounces of exhalations from the lungs
and bodies of the two persons who have lost a
pound in weight during the eight hours Of sleep
ing for while the smoke is taken mainly into the
lungs the odors from the body are absorbed
both into the lungs and into the pores of the
whole body.
Need more be said to show the Importance OF
having bedrooms well ventilated and Of thor
oughly airing the sheets, coverlets and mat
tresses in the morning before packing them up
in the form of a neatly made bed ?-Journal o.

WHY THE DYING NEVER Wharf.-The reason the
dying never weep is because the manufactures of
life have stopped forever every gland of the
system has ceased its functions. In almost all
diseases the liver is the first that stops work I;
one by one the others follow, and all the func-
tions of life at length dried up there is no
secretion anywhere. So the eye in death weeps
not not that all affection is dead to the heart,
but because there is not tear drop in 1t any
more than there is moisture on the lip. IL Is
striking characteristic of that terrible disease
the cholera, that the patient, however suddenly
seized, never sheds tear, even though sur
rounded by weeping friends. Inc feature q .ho
disease is the suspension of the secretion OF the
svstem and the most active excretory power, oy
which the BODY is drained of its fluids.

Has Noru1yG BEEN DONE Hon. Henry c.
Deming, of Connecticut in speech at a late
mass meeting in New York, said
Nothing been done? Why in three years
and half we have done more than Julius Caesar
with his ten years in Gaul-more than Hannibal
with his fifteen years in ltaly-more than the
conoueror of India with his fifteen years in that
country | challenge you to find in all history a
single material enterprise more conspicuous, for
the obstacles to be overcome, more numerous
with examples of endurance and heroism, more
magnificent in its results. and more fatal to the
enemy, than that of opening the Mississippi
Was nothing done at Sebastopol? Then nothing
was done at Port Hudson. We have won more
substantial triumphs at the expense of fewer
comparative reverses than in the memorable
seven years which filled the world with the fame
of Frederick the Great, or in the three and hal
wears of Napoleon the First in Italy, from the
time he descended the Alps like an avaianch on
the plains of Lombardy."

THE LATE GENERAL McCLELLAN.-The magni-
tude of Mcclellan S suicide is appalling. Modern
history affords no parallel to the sublimity of his
destruction. The fall of Benedict Arnold was
swift and profound but it was not from the lofty
altitude occupied by Gen. Mcclellan, and even in
the depths of infamy, the memory of Arnold has
the redemption of personal vaor. Though a
traitor at last he had been bold, dashing and
indomitable warrior. From the imperial SPLEEN
doris of fame, Aaron Burr fell to the condition of
fugitive and vagabond; but even to the bot
tom of the vast abyss, he carried with him the
reputation Of a great statesman and a bold ad-
venturer- Mcclellan goes down to oblivion
through the blackness of darkness which en-
shropds the coward, the impostor and the traitor.
From the very apex of fame and popularity he
has fallen with the gravity OF an @rolite, to be-
come the theme of ribald testers and poetastets.
We pause i'll amazement to contemplate the mag
nitude of his folly in deliberately taking the last
step which hurled him headlong over the prec-
pice. After his dismissal from the chief COM
mand Of the army, there were many loyal people
in the Union who believed that Mcclellan had
been unjustly dealt with, that he was the victim
of jealousy that his grand plans had been
thwarted by Administrative interference, and
that notwithstanding his sequestration he was,
like 1Aristides, great commander and pure
patriot. But, when they saw the object of their
commiseration voluntarily become the instrument
of conspirators and traitors, they began to I'M
derstand the wisdom Of the President in remov-
ing him from place where he was both dam
gcrous and disgraceful. His subsequent course
has wholly relieved the Administration from all
demonstrations of an act which the President
could not fully explain to the nation without ut
terly destroying and disgracing before the world
the subject of Administrative discipline. But
the evil genius of Mcclellan ambition has been
his destroyer. His espousal of the traitors
cause compelled public investigation of his dis
graceful military career, which was scanned by
an Argus with more than a hundred eyes, and
bclabored by Briareus with more than a hun
dred arms The evil spirit which caused Lucfer
to be hurled from the battlements Of heaven has
also flung this charatan, impoSter and traitor to
denths scarcely less inscrnta ble.-kIag.

atelv invited to answer these questions
Did YOU ever see in of them an earnest

1861
Did YOU ever see in one Of them word of en-

Did YOU ever see in one of them one word in
advocacy of any practical measures for the bene-
fit of the Union soldiers?
Did YOU ever know one of them to accept as
true the first news of a Federal victory?
Did YOU ever know one of them that did not
believe at first sight, in every rumor of Federal
defeat
Did YOU ever see one that credited any state
ment of rebel cruelty to our sick and wounded
soldiers?
Did you ever know one that did not publish all
the Confederate stories of cruelty practiced by

LINcoLN's SPEECH THE ILLINOIS LEGIsLA-
TURE lS39.-In December 1899, political
discussion took place in the Hall of Representatives
in Springfield, Illinois, between Mr. Lincoln then
Wing leader, and Messrs. Douglas and San
born, who were Democrats. 1t will be remem-
bered that that was the commencement of the
enthusiastic campaign of 1910, which resulted
in the defeat of Martin Van Buren, for the Presi-
dency. We copy from the concluding portion of
Mr.. Lincoln's speech the following eloquent out
burst of patriotism and devotion to principle
Said he
Many free countries have lost their liberty
and ours may lose hers, but if she shall, be it
my proudest plume, not that was the last to
desert, but that | never deserted her. | know
that the volcano at Washington, aroused and
directed by the evil spirit that reigns there, is
belching forth the lava of political corruption,
in current broad and deep, which is sweeping
with frightful velocity over the whole length and
breadth of the land bidding fair to leave un-
scathed no green spot or living thing, while on
its bosom riding like demons on the waves of
hell, the imps of the evil spirit and fiendishly
torturlng and taunting all those who dare resist
its destroying course with the hopelessness of
their efforts. Knowing this, cannot deny that
all may be swept away. Broken by it |, too
may be. Bow to it, l never will. The proba-
bility that we fall in the struggle, ought not to
deter us from the support of cause which we
think Is ;;;",st it shall not deter me. If ever I
feel the soul within lie elevate and expand TO
those dimensions not wholly unworthy Its Al
mighty Architect, it is when contemplate the
cause of my country deserted by all the world
beside, and l. standing up boldly end alone,
hurliug defiance at her victorious oppoSers.-
And here before high heaven, and IN the face OF
the whole world, swear eternal fidelity to the
just cause, deem it, of the land of my life,
my liberty and my love. And who that thinks
with me will not fearlessly adopt the oath that !
take Let none falter who thinks he is right,
and we may succeed. But if, after all we shall
fall be it so. We shall have the proud conso-
lntion OF saying to conscience the departed
shades of our cOuntrys freedom, that the course
approved by our judgements and adored by our
hearts in disaster. in chains, in torture and IN
death we never falered in defending
