WET CLoTuEs.-Fcw persons under
stand fully the reason why wet clothes
exert such a chilling influence. 1t is
simply this Water, when it evaporates,
carries off an enormous amount of heat
in what is called the latent form. One
pound of water in vapor contains as
much heat ss nine or ten pounds of
liquid water, and all this heat must, of
course, be taken from the body. If our
clothes are moistened with three pounds
of water, that is, if, by wetting, they
are rendered three pounds heavier, tho e
three pounds will, in drying, carry off
as much heat as would raise three gal.
Ions of ice-cold water to the boiling
point. No wonder that damp clothes
chill US.

ABOUT LOCAL NEWs,-A great many
people think news paper should have
about page of local news whether any
thing happens or not. Deluded mortals
local editors cannot make people break
their nccks, commit suicide, run away
with their neighbors' wives, or do any
of the other exciting things which go to
make up the material out of which the
local reporter delights to weave para.
graphs to be served up each morning
with his readers coffee and cakes.
Furnishing domestic news, when there
is none is very much like extracting
blood from a turnip. When the politi-
cal campaign is fairly opened there will
be undoubtedly plenty to read which is
of general interest. 1t is no more than
fair, however, that those persons, who
grumble at the lack of local news in
their county paper, should stop and
think whether they could not have
given the editor an item or two worth
printing and if SO let them hold their
peace, or growl at their own remiss.

Wilkes Barre is to have fine military

that the proud bird of freedom does not

THE wise house keeper will see to
it that all the beds re aired i'm
mediutely after occupancy. The impur'
ity which emanates from the human
body from insensible perspiration is
made of minute atoms, which if fallow-
ed to remain long, are absorbed by the
bed, and will then in greater or less
extent vitiate the air for a considerable
time afterward. Let the occupant throw
the bed open upon rising, and as soon
as it is convenient, open the window
and ventilate the sleeping room. One
hours early ventilation is worth two
hours late airing.
