Night Air Not Injurious.

THERE is popular prejudice concern
ing the evil effects OF night air, about
which q word must be said. In her ad-
mirable writings on hygiene and the man
agement of the sick, Miss Nightingale
has done much to correct this mistake. 1t
was formally the universal belief that the
air of night was very injurious. But the
fact is, that, except under certain circum-
stances, it is as healthful, or even more so,
than that of the day time. The night air
of large cities, such as London, when the
hustle and commotion, which cause it to
be loaded with dust particles is compare
lively quelled, and the numerous fires
which contaminate it with their smoke
are mostly extingushed, is purer than that
of the day. Nothing conduces more to
healthy sleep than good ventilation, and
no mode of ventilation surpasses that OBJ
tanned by opening window at the top,
by which the influence of draught is
avoided, while the upper stratum of air,
to which impurities ascend, is certainly
renewed. But there is still another rea-
son for at times adopting night, even in
preference to day, ventilation. In sultry
weather it is q common mistake to open
the windows instead of keeping them al
together closed, as is the case in very hot
climates. But little reflection will show
that since the hight of the thermometer
in the sun always greatly exceeds that
shown at the same time by another Their
mometer placed in the shade, by opening
the window we admit air much heated
into our rooms. The proper time, under
such circumstances, for ventilation is dur
ing the night, wher the external atmoe-
phere has cooled down. By adopting this
plan in hot weather, the temperature of q
room may always be kept several degrees
lower than if the opposite course is pur-
sued.-GoOd Health.

Crystal Baskets.

These pretty ornaments are not at all
difficult to make. The basket, or any other
ornament is first fashioned with copper
wire, as skeleton of the pattern desired
For blue crystals, take saturated solu-
ton of sulphate of copper in hot water
place the pattern or skeleton in this liquor,
and set it in quiet place; as the solu-
ton cools, crystals of the sulphate will be
deposited on the wire. The first crystals
will be small, but to increase their size, it
is only necessary to place the ornaments
in fresh and perfectly saturated solution
Of the copper salt.
For yellow crystals, use the yellow
prussiate of potash.
For ruby, use the red prussiate of pot
ash.
For white, use alum or acetate Of lead
The salts of chromium and many others
are equally applicable for this purpose, if
greater variety Of color is wanted.
To preserve these ornaments in all their
beauty, they should be kept under glass
shades.
All the salts named are more soluble in
hot than In cold water; hence, as the hot
solutions become cold, part of the mate
rial is deposited; in 30 doing, each metal
lie salt assumes particular shape Of crys-
tai, a. though endowed with vitality.
These crystals vary in form according to
the metal, but are invariably the same, for
the same metal, and are as characteristic
of their origin as flower is Of the parent
plant.-AmerScon HouseUvs.

How to DO q Thriving Business.

There is good dea' of talk in Phila-
delphia among the brokers about acertain
fast young man whose father is over
burdened with millions The young man
would not work, and the old man could
not bear an idler, and many were the
quarrels between them. At last the old
man, quite out of patience, said.
Nov, Jack, l give you one week to
make up your mind to what business you
are to go to. No son of mine shall be a
lounger, and go to work you shall. AT
the end of this week, if you have no
choice, will stop your allowance alto
gether, and make you take stool in my
office, and work enough you'll have Of it
there"
Jack promised to look around and make
up his mind. At the end of the week,
sharp and peremptory as was his way, the
old broker sang out:
"Well, Jack, times up; have you made
up your mind to make your own hvingy'
