The Spare Bed.

One rule ought to be invariable with
every good housekeeper: That the bed
in the guest chamber shall never be
"made " except when it is to be direct
ly used. Let it lie fallow between
whiles, and turn the mattresses every
few days, with all precaution against
dampness gathering on them. Then
when put in order, with fresh sheets
and blankets having the dry heat of the
kitchen fire in them, there will be small
risk of that chill which the travellers
dread. We repeat it, room kept an
damped, sweet, and wholesome, with a
dried bed and plenty of well aired bed
clothes, is within the reach of all to
give their guests, and is all that sensible
visitors ask. It is better than hot
stove in the room, or hot bottles, jugs,
or india rubber grannies in the bed, and
who so complains of this-let him com
plain.

English Statistics.

The returns for 1874 show that sixty
nine of the 526, 632 persons whose deaths
were registered in England in that year
were stated to be one hundred years
old, or upward. These centenarians
comprised sixteen men and fifty three
women; and the Oldest were six widows,
described as being 104 years old. OF
the fifty-three women all but eight are
registered as being widows. Among the
whole sixty nine there is only one who
is styled gentleman; one Of the men
is described as pensioner, one woman
as an annuitant, and another woman
Zone hundred years old) as "ward in
Chaueery."

Presidential Comics is.

Five Presidential elections in which
the vote of some one State might have
changed the result occurred in the
United States out of the twenty-five
from 1889 to 1872. In 1876, when the
State legislatures chose the electors.
Adams had only majority of two over
Jefferson, the vote being seventy one to
sixty In 1872 President Madison
was chosen over De Witt Clinton by 12S
to eighty-nine. In this contest the vote
OF either Pennsylvania (twenty-three)
or Virginia (twenty- three) would have
made De Witt Clinton President. In
1924 the full electoral vote of New York
(thirty- four) would have given Andrew
Jackson a majority of all the votes cast.
AS it was he received only one vote
from New York State, and the election
devolved upon the House of Represen-
tatives.
The contest in 1874 was exceedingly
close. Polk received ITO votes Clay,
105. The loss of New York (thirty- fonI
votes) was fatal to Henry Clay. Folks
plurality in the State was only 5,106-sc
that a change of 1854 votes would have
secured the election of Henry Clay. Al
the sixteenth Presidential electio1l
1648), the vote of New York (thirty
FOUR OR Pennsylvania (twenty-four
would have given Cass majority ovel
Taylor. Buchanan won in 1856 by fifty
two votes. Without the aid of Pennsyl
vania be would have had only 14S vote
the exact number necessary to
choice. Had Pennsylvania gone Re
publican in October, his defeat was
inevitable. Lincoln received, in 1860
$50 votes, against 1913 for his opponents
Notwithstanding his great plurality, b.
needed the vote of New York to Civ
him a majority of all the votes cast
Henceforth small as we'll as large State
may deem themselves of great account.

Success Deserved,

Few men have the courage or nerve to invest
the princely sum of 100000 in furnishing a
hotel. Mr.. Il. L. Powers, of the Grand Central
Hotel, Broadway, New York, is one of that
few. The hotel is the largest and best con-
Quoted in the metropolis, and the business
shrewdness and foresight of Mr.. Powers is
evinced by reducing the prices to $3.50 and
LOO per day, thus keeping pace with the de
mands of the times and filling his house.

Rheumatism is more common and
distressing, especially in this country,
than almost any other disease and, at
the same time, it may be asserted that it
is as little understood and as unsuccess-
fully treated. Physicians, in many
cases, are unable to cure it, even in their
own person yet such are the unpar
alleled virtues of the celebrated Mer-
chants Gargling Oil, that the most OBJ
stinate cases at once yield to it,
