VENTILATION.

Opportunity for the ingress of pure air, and
the egress of that which is impure, is abso-
lutely requisite in the construction of every
house. Previous to the introduction of stoves
as warming apparatus for houses, these were
moderately well ventilated by the open CRATES
and tiie-places which they contained. The
pure air, because cold, rushed down the Chin
ney, and, becoming warmed by passing lie
fire. spread through the house, furnishing life
to its inmates. Through the same opening
the raritied air, being lightened, ascended,
and thus constant renewal was had. In those
days ventilation was not studied, because adj
ditional means for it were not needed. Ne
cessity being the mother of invention, where
no necessity. existed, means were not consid-
cred. Hence in those days ventilation was
not discussed; and yet men, and especially
women, maintained a degree of health and
vigor and hardness of constitution, which are
both the marvel and envy of modern times.
Grandmothers' vigor and personal endowments
are still the desired, but despaii'ed Of prize of
modern ambition.
Wherein consists the remarkable change
'i"sS 'iSht W hNuSo tuS tySpcpoidc, hNlNour
arrangements, female weaknesses, consttnp-
tons, ETC.. of our timer Through the closing
of fire places by the invention of stoves. By
this change in household arrangements the in
mates of our houses have been largely deprived
of the tife-gioiag Oxygen, the sital air of the
atmospheric Every breath we draw, every
lamp that burns, every fire that warns us,
consumes this air in large quantities and il
it is not roplenishcl by constant ingress from
the stores of nature, we must grow dull, pale,
weak, inert and finally succumb to disease and
death. And yearly millions go down to un-
timely graves, and the groans of the dying are
constantly heard, as the result of want of ven
tilation. II has takena long time for us to
learn the fact and even now it is impeifecty
understood. Men who argue for ventilation
are still considered fanatics, and the idea re-
mains new tangled to many. Hi95f
Houses, then, should be properly ventilated
Ii no other means have been provided, every
window should be arranged with pulleys and
fastenings, so as to be readily lowered from
the top and raised from the bottom. An open
ing is necessary, part of the time at least, in
all weathers, if the room is inhabited There
must be constant change Of air, and this can
not be effected through closed windows or inn
pervious doors.-SeSeaee Of Health.

THEY TWO.

The. vesper bells were ringing sweet
In the sultry Summer weather.
When they climbed the mount with tired feet
To kneel and to pray together;
To kneel and to pray where the tender skies
Bent low to the pine trees signing;
With only heaven to hear their cries,
And heaven to make replying.
"0ur hearts, o father are one" they said,
q But we 90 two ways tomorrow;
And life will linger, and lovers will wed,
And what can we beg or borrow
OF earth or heaven TO bridge the years
Drearer than dreariest night is
Lying between the Valley of Tears
And the city where Thy delight is?n
Over their cold eross'd palms a light
Struck sharp through a coal-black shadow;
And slences not of the day or night
And sweets not of moor nor meadow,
Folded them fast, while a voice sung clear
From the soul Of the svery arches:
"They are true soldiers who feel no fear;
God knoweth how hard the march is!'
Only dimming of patient eyes,
A smiling of lips that culver,
And blue behind them the mount2in lies
Blue before them-the river.
Burdens for both of them--hatties for each,
And the wild and the wearying weather;
But-iafthef sway--s i'sfiiiiissss beach
And Two ways winding together.

NO sdBBATH.

In prize essay on the Sabbath, written by
a joureyman printer in Scotland, which for
singular power of language and beauty of ex-
preston, has never been surpassed, there oc-
ours the following passage. Read it, and then
reflect for while what u dreary and desolate
page would this life present if the Sabbath
were blotted out from our calculation:
" Yokefellow think how the abstraction of
the Sabbath would bopelossly enslave the
Think of labor thus going onsone monotonous
and eternal cycle limbs forever on the rack,
the fingers forever stIaining, the brow forever
sweating, the feet forever plodding, the brain
forever throbbng, the shoulders forever drop
ping, the loins forever aching, the restless
mind forever scheming. 3e
''Think of the beauty it would cilace, the
merry heartedness it would extinguish, of the
giant strength it would tame, of the resources
of nature 1t would crush, Of the sickness it
would breed of the projects it would wreck,
of the groans it would cxtoit, of the lives it
would prematurely dig See them toiling and
moiling, sweating and fretting, grinding and
hewing, weaving and spinning, sewing and
gathering, moving and reaping, raising and
building digging and planting, striving and
struggling-in the garden and in the field, in
the granary and in the barn, in the factory
and in the MILL in the warehouse and in the
shop, on the mountain and in the ditch, on
the roadside and in the wood, in the city and
in the country out at sea and on the shore. in
the days Of brightness and Of gloom What
picture would The world present If we had
no Sabbath !"

A STORY OF PRESIDENT GRANT.

To the Editors of the Ravenna (O.) Demo
crat General Grant is said to be bad man.
Perhaps he is don't know. If he is he has
changed wonderfully since he left the army.
As proof of this will give an incident which
came under my observation
While our army lay at City Point on the
James River, at the mouth of the Appomat-
tox, in Virginia, my duties as Assistant Adju-
tant-General of the United States Volunteers,
called me there to consult with Gen. Grant
One afternoon, while walking out with the
General Che being in military undress, with
nothing to indicate his rank, we passed boy
of ten or twelve years of age, fishing.
Grant--IIavc you good luck to-day?
Boy-Not very they don't bite to-day.
Grant-You have got few here won't
you give them to me?
The tears started in the little fellows eyes,
as he said 81 have had no breakfast to-day,
and no dinner, and If don't sell my fish
shall have nothing to get me supper"
Gen. Grant inquired as to his history. The
boy was a native of Michigan, and his mother
was widow To obtain money to support
his widowed mother he went into the army as
a waiter for Captain Of the Michigan troops,
whose name cannot recollect. The Captain
was dead, and he had not friend left.
Grant-Do you know where Grants head
quarters are?
Boy-Yes sir.
Grant-Bring your fish up there at ten
o'clock, and he will buy them.
Principally at the time the boy was ON hand,
with his string of fish, but was promptly
stopped by the orderly in front of the quarters.
Gen. Grant, overhearing the orderly, stepped
out, took the little fellow by the hand, led him
into his quarters, and, becoming satisfied witt
the truth of his story, procured for him sui
Of clothes, hat, a free pass ON the railroads
home, and gave him $50 in money.
Now, Grant may be bad mani am moi
going to argue that question--but don't be-
ieve you can make the mother of that boy
believe it. L. Y. BIERcE.

ELECTRICAL WoNDERs.-By the mirror of
Sir William Thompson, which was of the
utmost Importance in securing the success of the
Atlantic Cable, ray of light is reflected from
aminute mirror that is attached to magnetic
needle. When the electric current passes the
magnet is DETECTED, and the movement of the
reflected spot of light over scale indicates
the resistance to the passage Of the current.
The united weight of mirror and magnet is
three-quarters of grain.
During the experiments with the Atlantic
Telegraph both cables were connected at the
American end, giving circuit of more than
four thousand miles, yet a current passed
through the whole distance in less time than
person could pass through the small room in
which the experiment was made-and, most
wonderful of all, the battery that accomplished
this result was contained in lady's silver
thimble.

C5y- A style ofhouse which is said to be COM
ing somewhat into vogue is made largely of pf-
per; this being the best non-conductor of heat,
cold and dampness. The paper, which is heavy
and compact, is put on the outside of the
frame, and in turn covered with sizing. The
rafters are covered with rough boards, upon
the inside walls and ceiling are covered with
another kind of paper. 1t is said that hun
dreds of these houses are being built in SUI
burban places /; and also very generally in the
Western prairie country, where the scarcity OF
timber renders some cheaper material neces-
sary. They are said to resist piercing winds
and intense cold better than ordinary frame
houses. 4a

THE DEER.--A FABLE.--A deer once saw
himself pictured in a clear brook.
"Truly,'' said he, 81 surpass all animals in
gracefulncss and majestyl How lordly do my
horns tower upl But my feet how long and
ugly! !"
Hardly had he uttered these words when he
saw lion springing towards him. With the
greatest haste his dospised feet carried him to
the next forest but suddenly his broad an
tiers were caught in the exchanging thicket,
and he could not tear himself away.
The lion overlook him and deyoured him.
Learn from this not to value things from
their outward appearance, but for their inner
worth otherwise you will often have to repent
bitterly your unjust judgment.

A REGULARITY WITH Us ALL.--Herbert
Spencer says: Those who have lately become
those facts have lately arisen. Aftera changed
state Of mind has made us observant Of oc-
currences, we imagine they have become
more common. 1t happens so even with
accidents and diseases. Having famed
himself a man is surprised to find how
many lame people there are; and, becom-
ing dyspeptic, he discovers that dyspepsia
is much more frequent than lie supposed
when he was young. For kindred reason
he is prone to think that servants do not be-
have nearly SO well as they did during his
boyhood.

IcNoRANcE OF THE AVERAGE SOCIETY GrRL

IGNORANCE OF THE AVERAGE SOCIETY GIRL.
Says a writer in the New York Express
" | have no respect for women who don't read
the newspaper and alas it is fact that but
comparatively few in society do" A fact it is,
indeed. Out of group of ten fashionable
girls in society the chances are that you would
not be able to find one to whom you could
talk upon the current affairs of the day. One
in our hearing during the last campaign won
dered why Republicans spoke at the wigwam.
:" thought only the Wings were there she
innocently exclaimed. If it was only upon
politics that the said ignorance was displayed,
many of us would regard the omen as good
one, but unfortunately it includes almost every
topic Take away the weather, the last new
silly novel, the opera and theatre, and the
average society girl is as dumb as an OYSTER
Phita. Press.

HONEY BY THE TON.
THE LARGEST beehive IN THE WORLD.

THE LARGEST BEEHIVE IN THE WORLD.
In Los Angeles county, on the.eastern slope
of the San Francisco range of mountains, and
in. the immediate vicinity Of the Leaning Pc
troleum Company's oil region, there is the
most wonderful collection of wild honey in
existence. The hive is located in a rift, which
penetrates the rock to the depth probably of
1860 feet. The orifce is thirty feet long and
seventeen feet wide fourlpassages. The rift
was discovered to be the abiding place of a
swarm of bees that is represented as coming
out in nearly solid column one foot in diame-
ter. Certain parties have endeavored to de-
scend TO the immense store of honey collected
by these bees, but were invariably driven back,
and one man lost his life in the attempt.
Others have at the expense of much labor and
money built scaffod 1875 feet high in the
hope of reaching place whence they could
run drift into the rock, and extract its we'll
boarded sweets, but finally ceased their work.
Within four years the bees have added not less
than fifteen feet Of depth to their treasure, as
ascertained by actual measurement, and it is
thought that ut the present time there cannot
be less than eight or ten tons Of honey in the
rock A man named d. Brophy lives in q
cabin not far from the spot, and obtained from
the melting of the honey by the suns heat
more than enough for his family requirements.
All through this region immense stores of wild
honey are found in trees in the rocks in nearly
every place its industrious manufacturers think
for bees seem to think-that is secure. They
consume very small proportion, as the eli
mate enables them to keep up operations nearly
every day in the year, and flowers Of some sort
are always in bloom. Unjust be av very severe
season indeed for the little fellows when they
are not seen abroad in vast numbers, busy
engaged in their mclliuous work.
