As to Sleeping Rooms.

Much good common sense has been
put into the construction of houses in
late years, as people come to realize
more and more the value of hygienic
considerations in building their dwell
ings. Even the much-abused matter
of sleeping rooms has been marked by
great improvements, and families of
average intelligence are no longer gull
ty of crowding bed into 6 by 8 clos
ct, dubbed, by courtesy, bedroom,
or showing it back under the caves in
close recess in half story, as in the
good old times. But even now, in the
matter of sleeping, in which there is
quite as much, if not more, need of
prudent regulation as in our daily diet,
we are sadly behind our privileges, and
utterly fail to live up to the light which
science, backed by experience has af-
forded us. Thousands of families go
to sleep nightly in rooms too small, too
close, and too low ceiled, and the prac
tice of using the smallest rooms in the
house for bedrooms is INDUCED in by
people who pride themselves on the
care they take of their health. Pure
air is more necessary to the sleeper than
to a waking man. Drafts of vitiated
air may be breathed with impunity by
person in the full energy of wakeful-
ness with all the machinery of life in
active play, that would be certain to
cause serious illness if nothing more,
to the same person sound asleep, with
the whole system relaxed and passive,
an easy prey to malignant influences.
Hence it is important that sleeping
rooms should be as large as living
rooms, TO afford room for plenty of air
and promote free respiration, and
should be carefully ventilated with
view to purifying the air as fast as it
becomes Initiated by the breath and by
the calculations of the person, due care
being exercised to avoid exposing the
sleeper to cold drafts. Very many I'M
accountable headaches and morning
shivers might be traced to crowded or
i'll ventilated bedrooms. The weight
of medical opinion, moreover, is against
the too prevalent notion that sleeping
rooms should be far removed from fires
and in the coolest corners of the house.
While sleeping in heated room is not
advisable, it is desirable that the room
should be sufficiently near other warm
ed rooms, so that the temperature may
be raised to fairly comfortable degree
before retiring. 1t is an easy source of
colds to go from a warm room, and di-
vest the person of clothing in an icy
apartment, suddenly reducing the tenn
perature of the body and producing a
chill which it requires long time of
"cuddling" under the bed clothes to
dissipate. Practical common sense,
rigidly applied, will work all needed
reform in this, as in all other depart
ments of domestic comfort and health.
Reform is surely necessary in this di-
rection, for a little observation will
show that there is not point in our
daily living where SO great carelessness
is exhibited by otherwise prudent peo-
pie. The pens and voices of domestic
TefOrmers have done much toward rem
edying it, but it is not time yet for
them to rest.

A Word in Defence of Women.

Men too often malign women in ac-
cusing them of extravaganza in dress.
Generalizing is always dangerous, and
particularly so where women are con-
cerned.
The masses of women are not spend
thrifts any sane man will admit that
as rule women are not extravagant.
They have certain pet theories regard
ing dress which if not admirable are
nevertheless not Insufficient importance
to warrant libel to be written against
them.
The truth is that women are not, as
sex, extravaganza; on the contrary,
they are economical many times to pc
nuriousness. They have no income of
their own, and the money given them
by their husbands is always for family
expenses, and goes to the purchase of
wearing apparel and household goods,
and the little that is left is often less
than many men imagine.
The trouble is that women buy for
show when they do buy, and they do
their shopping in such an elaborate and
deliberate way that lookers-on are de-
ceived.
Then again women buy only costly
articles. those that will be seen to adj
vantage. Hats and gloves they spend
money on so also on trimmings or Or
naments, but very seldom do women
wear as costly or as valuable clothing
as men.
Their costumes are more snowy and
varied, more perishable and cost less
than the suits or garments of men.
Women have many weaknesses which
can be used against them, but they are
not more numerous than those of men,
nor are their habits half so expensive.
They wear more fancy trifes; pay more
for ribbons, and -gaws," than men
do for their articles of adOrnment, but
they have no expensive tastes as men
have, land which are more than an off
set to any foolish vanities that women
pOssess,) and they cOntrive and make
much for themselves which men never
think of doing.
This year women were never more
thoughtful of expenditure, never more
thoughtful of the demands they make.
They have worn cotton goods in place
of silk, have adhered to what they felt
was the most economical plan of living,
and instead of being commented upon
LOT Cheir eAIrdVagance 'noy ouSnC W NC
praised.
And the cynical single men, and the
disappointed married ones who cast the
slur on the sex that is done when they
are assailed as extravaganza, are guilty
of wrong which is perpetrated in ig-
norance or with malicious intent.
Perhaps trifie Of justice in this mat
ter would exhibit in more prominent
way the common sense of such carping

The Begging Evil.
ACTION OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHE
VI A

ACTION OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES
OF ST. ALBANS.
The following was read in the sever
al Protestant churches last Sunday, and
sermons referring to the subject were
preached by the pastors =
The pastors of the several congrega-
tons moved by the increase of house to
house begging and by several instances
of personal suffering, notwithstanding
the provision made for the poor by the
town authorities and by the various
churches, met pursuant to call to ex-
change views and endeavor to agree
upon a course of action which would
check the evil and bring greater eff
cheney to present appliances and the
greatest good to those needing assist
ance.
After several meetings in which all
the pastors of the Protestant bodies par
ticipated, they have agreed to govern
themselves by the following principles
and ask the united and sympathetic co
operation of their respective congrega-
tons:
1. We learn by experience and OBJ
servatiOn that indiscriminate giving,
even of food, to persons who are I'M
known is harmful, by developing in the
recipient the habit of dependence and
Of cunning and deceit in securing aims
from various quarters most destructive
of their welfare and that of society.
II. For the same reasons indiscrimin-
ate giving even to those known is I'M
wise, unless the givers have full knowl-
edge of the circumstances of the par
ties and the sources of their support.
III. Giving to tramps is to be dis
couraged under all circumstances as
they are a dangerous class who really
do not need our help but also should
be dealt with in different and more
effectual manner.
w. The multiplicity of organiza-
tions-town, church, voluntary, togeth-
er with individual benevolence, affords
premium upon dependence and idle
ness to those who are bold to ask, while
the tendency of perfunctory giving
through organizations is to dry up the
sympathy and to hinder those benefits
of private charity which accrue botl
to the giver and receiver.
We, therefore, earnestly urge upon
all persons kindly disposed towards the
poor the cultivation of sympathetic
and discriminating spirit, by such al
intimate acquaintance with the subjects
of our bounty, as will encourage ant
lift them up.
