Night Air.

An extraordinary falacy is the dread of
night air. What air can we breathe at
night, but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure night air from without and foul
air from within. Most people prefer the
latter. An unaccountable choice. What
will they say, if it is proved to be true that
fully one-half of all the diseases we suffer
from is occasioned by people sleeping with
their windows shut? An open window,
most nights in the year, can never hurt
any one. This is not to say that light is
not necessary for recovery. In great cities,
night air is often the best and purest air to
be had in the twenty-four hours. could
better understand shutting the windows in
town during the day than during the night,
for the sake of the sick. The absence of
smoke, the quiet, all tend to make night
the best time for airing the patient.
One of our highest medical authorities
on consumption and climate, has told me
that the air in London is never so good as
after ten o'clock at night. Always air your
room then, from the outside air if possible.
Windows are made to open, doors are made
to shut-a truth which seems extremely
difficult of apprehension. Every room
must be aired from without-Every passage
from within. But the fewer passages there
are in hospital, the better.

The MOrmOnS to be Drowned Out.

4 singular change seems to be creep
ing over all our Western regions under set
tlemcnt, in the matter of climate and of
rain. Summer rains are rapidly on the in
crease, and the necessity of irrigation is
lessening, especially for the grains and
slow-growing vegetables. When the Nor
mons first went to Utah, there was no rain
April to November; but now summer show
ers are of frequent occurrence. 1t is
growth in the moisture of the summer and
a lesscning need of artificial watering for
the main crops. The phenomenon is pc
culiar, and has yet received no satisfactory
explanation. Connected with this change,
it is observed that Salt Lake is growing in
size and freshness, and the Jordan increas-
ing in width and sluggishness of move
ment In broader phrase, the whole basin,
once evidently filled with water, is slowly
returning to its old condition. The lake
is rising at the rate of foot a year. Gen.
Connor's little steamboat, that has been
carrying ties for the railroad across the lake
during the last year, certainly rode for a
mile over what was good grazing ground
five years before. Does providence propose
to drown the Mormons out, and with water
solve the problem that is puzzl ng our NOR
al philosophers and statesman?

the oldest towns on the continent. The
country demands such road, and this ex
tension is step toward completing it.
1t is interesting to note the progress of :
railway which draws its business from 3
country ten years ago conceded to the buf'
falo and the aborgines. In April, the Kan
sas Road earned, III gross income, $217,-
Oh 40, of which 1913, 291 G1 were balanced
by expenses, leaving a net profit of 1924,
622 IS. In May, the earnings were $222,
1913 4G; the expenses $107, -, leaving q
profit of $114,175 60. Two months aggre,
gate, $685. 79S 81. There are few roads il
our older and ripper States that would not
be content with Us good a result. But the
truth is, these new countries have much
growth in them. We have but to touch
our Western prairies and hills with the
iron wand, and cities spring up, towns clus-
ter along the streams and highways, and
broad plains blossom with wheat, corn and
barley; school houses and churches'tak
the place of the block-house and the fort,
and the great rivers are disturbed by steam
and water wheels. So our civilization has
marched over ihe prairies, is advancing
over the plains, and in few months we
shall have the vast treasures of Colorado
and the gold countries under contribution.
The President, in his last Inaugural, point
ed to these hills as the "strong box, y
fra Lo al
dept. This railroad is the key to open it.
We therefore look with pleasure upon this
effort of private citizens to carry another
road to the Pacific. We must have at least
three railways across the continent. We
must enable the Northern and Southern
and Middle States respectively to reach the
furthest West by the most convenient way.
We look upon the State of Kansas with an
interest not far removed from Affection

pose to carry it to Denver, and we'd the
Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi Valley,
we hail them as men doing great National
service, and earnestly hope they will re-
cclve from our people prompt and earnest
support. The loan they offer is certainly a
good one. 1t yields high interest in gold,
has many years to run, is secured by large
grants of land and profitable railway,
and is endorsed by men whose word gives
it the force of an irrefragable guarantee.

Position in Sleeping.

1t is better to 60 to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much in
the position of bottle turned upside down,
and the contents of it are aided in passing
out by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on
the left side, the operation of emptying the
stomach of it's contents is more like drawing
water from well. After going to sleep,
let the body take its own position.
If you sleep on your back, especially soon
after hearty meal, the weight of the di.
gestive organs and that of the food resting
on the great vein of the body, near the
backbone, congresses it, and arrests the
flow of the blood more or less. If the ar
rest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and
there are unpleasant dreams. If the meal
has been recent and hearty, the arrest is
decided; and the various sensations, such
as falling over precipice, or the pursuit of
a wild beast, or other impending dangers,
and the desperate efforts to ged rid of it,
arouse us, and send on the stagnating
blood; and we wake in fright, or tremb-
ling, or in perspiration, or feeling ex-
hausted, according to the degree of stagna-
ton, and the length and strength of the
efforts made to escape the danger.
But when we are unable to escape the
danger-when we do fall over the preci
pice, when the trembling building crushes
us-what then? That is death! That is
the death of those of whom it is said, when
found lifeless in the morning, that "they
were as we'll as ever they were the day be-
fore;" and often it is added, "and ate
heartier than commonr' This last, as a
frequent cause of death to those who have
gone to bed to wake no more we give mere
ly as a private opinion. The possibility of
its truth is enough to deter any rational
man from late and hearty meal. This
we do know with certainty, that waking up
in the night with painful diarrhea, or chol-
era or bilious collie ending in death in a
very short time, is probably traceable to a
late large meal. The truly wise will take
the safe side. For persons to cat three
times day, it is amply sufficient to make
the last meal of cold bread and butter, and
a cup of some warm drink. No one can
starve on it, while a perseverance in the
habit soon begets vigorous appetite for
breakfast, so promising of a day of comfort.
