SLEEPING In A COLD ROOM.

Halls Journal of Health says that cold
bed-chambers always imperil health and in
vite fatal diseases. Robust persons may
safely sleep in temperature of forty or IN
der, but the old, the infant and the frail
should never sleep in room where the at
mosphere is much under fifty degrees Fab
renheit.
All know the danger of going direct into
the cold from very warm room. Very few
rooms, churches, theatres and the like, are
ever warmer than seventy degrees. If it
is freezing out of doors it is thirty degrees
the difference being forty degree more. Per-
sops will be chilled by such change in ten
minutes, although they may be actively
walking.
But to lie still in bed, nothing to promote
the circulation, and breathe for hours an at
mosphere of forty and even fifty degrees,
when the lungs are always at ninety. eight,
Is too great change. Many persons wake
up In the morning with Inflammation of the
lungs who went to bed well, ard are sur.
prised that this should be the case. The
cause may often be found in sleeping in a
room the window of which has been foolish

journals of the country have done an meal
culsbe injury by the blind and indiscrimi-
nate advice of holsting the window at night.
The rule should be everywhere during
the part # the year when fires are kept
burning, to avoid hosting outside windows.
1t is safer and better to leave the chamber
door open, as also the fireplace; then there
is draft up the chimney, while the room
is not 80 likely to become cold. If there is
some fire in the room all night the window
may be opened an inch. It is safer to sleep

THE CHANGERS AT WORK.

In this State the Changers are recruiting
and organizing their forces for future work.
In Rutherford says the Murfreesboro Mon
itor the movement is being pushed ahead,
and has already enlisted the cooperation
of some of the best and most intelligent
farmers in the county, and now lodges of
the order are being organized almost every
week. Elsewhere the Patrons OF Hus-
bandry are slso active. The Changers of
the Mississippi Valley, who recently met in
convention at Keokuk, have taken another
step towards the consummstion of long
desired project In preparing system
OF reports whereby the whole farming COM
munity will be furnished with prompt, COM
plste, and accurate statistics of the state of
the crops and the amount Of produce likely
TO be marketed in any season. County as
sociations are formed sill over the West,
each of which owns its own elevator and
stores, at which are concentrated all the
grain of all the farmers in the county.
The same agent takes orders for all that the
farmers desire TO buy and forwards them to
the State agent who makes the purchases.
Already the result has been that the farmers
have saved millions of dollars, and they are
beginning to exercise that weight in com.
mercial affairs to which they are fully en-
titled,

TERRIBLE FATALITY.

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, Oct. %.
There has been an immense amount of
sickness throughout the whole land during
the present year, and the record in every
community will probably show more deaths
since the first of January last than for the
same period Of time in many years. The
sickness has been of various kinds, but all
seemed to be malignant. The following
from the Greensboro Beacon, while show
ing a much larger fatality than any other,
Is yet but one of many instances of fearful
sickness recorded in this State:
sit was reported in Greensboro, q few
days ago, by gentleman residing in Five
Mile precinct, that there had been in that
neighborhood, during the present year, one
hundred and thirty deaths from diptheria.
Though the disease in that neighborhood
has been marsed by very great fatality, we
doubt the correctness Of that report. There
were severa' deaths in that neighborhood q
month or two ago from scarlet fever. They,
and probably all the other deaths that have
occurred In that section this year, were pro-
baby included. With even these qualifica-
tons, the report is almost Incredible. We
learned that in several families every child
had died. The number of deaths in one
family was reported as high as seven. The
neighborhood referred to is fifteen to TWEEN
ty miles from Greensboro, in the north
eastern corner Of the county,"
This is far worse than anything that has
ever occurred here. Unfortunately for
Montgomery there was considerable sick
ness last January Immediately in the wake
of the epizootic, and for portion of Sep
TENDER and October the yellow fever has
been here. Still, under ell these disadvan-
tsges, the mortality here the year round
will compare favorably with any Southern
city Of the same size. The fact that the
yellow fever, the most fatal of all diseases in
the South, got no stronger foothold here
than it did, although in our midst for six or.
seven weeks, is proof positive of the healthy
general condition of Montgomery. It is the
first time the fever has been here in eighteen
years, and for the future will be vigorously
guarded against.

REPORT OF CROP RETURNS.

We are indebted to the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington for its monthly
report for October, which contains many
interesting facts in regard to the crops,
gathered from variety of sources through
out the country. We give herewith syn
opss published by the Philadelphia Age:
The yield of corn this year will not come
I'D 10 tie average, while that Of wheat will
run beyond that mark. This result, &C
cording to the report, sis far better for
formers and consumers than a deficient
yield of wheat, with large crop of corn, as
the surplus of the former above the actual
wants of bread-consumers is quite small;
but two hundred million bus els of corn
can always be spared from a full crop
without any other effect than an enhance
me of prices 10 figure repre-
senling more fairly the cost OF production.
The flexibility of the Germ consumption
is unexAmpled in the case OF any
