An interesting libel decision has been
lived by the Missouri court of appeals,

sd Louis Despatch of paragraph which

inierior court entered judgment for the
Woman in S2500 damages. Upon appeal
however, the Judgment was reversed for

1t is not sufficiently known that almost
all substances have the property of absorb
ing moisture from the atmosphere Linen
is remarkable for this property; the same
may be sald of feathers, and in less de-
gree of wool; hence the difficulty OF keep
ing the bed dry, unless it is constantly
used or exposed to warmth from fire.
Merely covering Il bed up with blankets
und counlerpane will no more keep it dry
than II pane of glass will keep out light;
the atmospheric moisture will pass through
every woven fabric. Damp beds unfOrtu-
nattiy, are generally found in the spare
Or visitors room; hence the persons often
most welcome in house suffer from this
terrible evil. pare beds should never
have anything but Il slight coverlet to keep
them clean, and it should be put upon
them when not in actual use. People
often fancy that damp is only in the sheets
bu it is in all the other clothes. A bed
will be much dryer by itself than with
blankets and counterpanGs upon 1t. Every
spare room that is at all likely to be used
by visitors should have II good fire in 1t al
least every third or fourth day during the
winter, and the bed should be well turned
in the interval. Blankets and count T.
pane should be dried and folded up hot
ard put away till wanted; if they are left
open upon bed they quickly absorb DAMP
which cannot be quickly dried out. 1t is
cruel and ungenerous to put visitor
friend 10 sleep in iireless cold room, will
damp clothes to cover him, when II little
coal would have made all healthy ant
comfortable. 1t is good and simple plan
to keep beds dry to change them from one
room to another every week, so that al
may be more or less in use.

TURKISH BULLETINS.
IN. Y. Trlbune.l


The Turkish official bulletins from
the seat of war continue to be interest
ing reading. When the Russians were
lighting at Sistova for footing on this
side OF the Danube. and every one was
suffering tortures for news. the govern
ment allowed no word of this to be pub
lished, and instead gave to the public
the announcement that in an obscure
place in Bosnia band Of victory
bearing troops of his imperial
majesty had, by the grace OF God,
destroyed band Of Bosnian rebels,
composed Of four men, of whom
three were killed and the fourth took
refuge in inaccessible portions of the
mountains, and the imperial troops
captured on this occasion one horse,
three muskets, three revolvers, one
knife and q waterproof overcoat, besides
some food and ammunition. Fancy a
conflding public buying an official bull
letin for two cents and spelling pain
fully through the mass of Arabic char
acters composing it, and finding its
burden OF news to be only this
at time when the line Of the
Danube was being broken up. After
such maltreatment at the hands OF the
bureau Of news, the public will not be-
!ieve. word of the kilograms now COM
ing In from Erzerourn describing the
rout and pursuit to the frontier Of the
Russian army of the Caucasus by the
ever-victorious Turkish troops. Even
the Turks themselves cannot believe
that such luck has befallen them. Re-
diff Pasha, the Minister of War, has
gone to the Danube, and everybody, in
Guiding the Sultan, breathes more
freely,
