NEVER did Handel receive a more
natural and pleasant tribute to his power
and skill than when, on one occasion, he

gregation sat as if spell not per-
son moved. Suddenly the usual organist
came forward and took his seat, saying,

AN educated Brahmin of Hindoostan
read with deep interest sundry articles on
women, which were published in the Lon
don SATURDAY Re0ieU Interpreting the
Language literally, he mistook the cynical
views of English society and highly. col

AIRING BEDS IN THE MoRNING.-There
is too little attention paid to this impor-
tant requisite of health. The wise house
keepers should see to it that all the beds
should be aired Immediately after being
occupied. The impurities which emanate
from the human body from insensible per-
spiration are made up of minute atoms,
which, if allowed to remain long, are ab-
sorbed by the bed, and will then, to a
greater or less extent, vitiate the air for a
considerable time afterward Let the oc-
cupant throw the bed open on rising, and
and as soon as is convenient open the
windows and ventilate sleeping room.
One hours early ventilation is worth two
hours late airing.
