The Necessity for Pure Air..HOw to OBJ.
tain If.
Halls Journal of Health.


Night air and damp weather are held
in great horror by multitudes of persons
who are sickly or Of weak constitutions;
consequently, by avoiding the night air,
and damp weather, and changeable
weather, and weather that is considered
too hot or too cold, they are kept with
in doors the largest portion of their
time, and, as a matter OF course, contin-
ue invalids, more and more II ipening for
the grave every hour; the reason is,
they are breathing an impure atmos-
phere nineteen -twentieths of their whole
existence
As nothing can wash us clean but
pure water, so nothing can cleanse the
blood, nothing can make health-giving
blood but the agency Of pure air. SO
great is the tendency of the blood to
become impure in consequence OF waste
and useless matters mixing with it as it
passes through the body, that it requires
a hogshead Of air every hour Of our
lives to unload it Of these impurities;
but, in proportion as this air is vitiated,
in such proportion does it infallibly fail
to relieve the blood Of these impurities,
and impure blood is the foundation Of
all disease The great fact that those
who are out of doors most, summer and
winter, day and night, rain or shine, have
the best health the world over, does of
itself falsify the general impression that
night air or any other outdoor airis un-
healthy as compared with indoor air at
the same time.
Air is the great necessity Of life; so
much so, that if deprived Of it for mo-
ment we perish; and so constant is the
necessity of the blood for contact with
the atmosphere that every drop in the
body is exposed to the air through the
medium of the lungs every two minutes
and half of our existence
Whatever may be the impurity Of the
outdoor air of any locality, the indoor
air of that locality is still more impure,
because Of the dust, and decaying and
odoriferous matters which are found in
all dwellings, Besides, how can indoor
air be more healthy than the outdoor
air, other things being equal, when the
dwelling is supplied with air from with
out?
To this very general law there is one
exception, which it is of the highest i'm
portance to note. When the days are
not ana the nights cool, tnefe are perl
DDS Of time within each twenty-four
hours, when it is safest to be indoors,
with doors and windows closed; that is
to say, for the hour or two including
sunrise and sunset, because about sun
set the air cools, and the vapors which
the heat of the day have caused to as
cend far above us, condense and settle
near the surface of the earth, 50 as to
be breathed by the inhabitants; as the
night grows colder, these vapers sink
lower, and are within foot or two Of
the earth, so they are not breathed. As
the sun rises. these same vapors are
warmed and begin to ascend, to be
breathed again, but as the air becomes
warmer they are carried so far above
our heads as to be innocuous

Genius and Celibacy.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
Why are men of genius so often bach
elors? TO this | reply that such instan-
ces are not owing to anything like a
want Of appreciation Of woman's value,
but most generally to unfavorable cir
cumstances. Most of our celebrated au-
thors have been in love, but found that
its course did not run smooth Irving,
for instance, was engaged to a maiden
whom he lost by death. Charles Lamb
remained unmarried that he might de-
vote himself to his lunatic sister, Mary,
whom he kept an inmate of his house
until her death Lord Macauley never
married, but it is probable that this is
due to some youthful disappointment.
He might have had
"A love that had an early root,
And early had doom:
Like trees that never come to root,
But perish in their bloom
|. Goldsmith was deeply in love with the
charming Miss Horneck, whom he styled
the "Jassamine BRIDE" and even Pope,
though lifelong invalid, expressed his
admiration Of Martha Blount, but nei-
ther of these men married. The one was
prevented by poverty, the other by i'll
health
Hume seems almost the only leading
writer who was formed for celibacy. He
was naturally cold and apathetic, and in
deed, any one who could defend suicide
by such ingenious sophistry was unfit
for social life.
Gibbon, when student, was in love
with Mile Ourchod, the daughter of a
poor clergyman. His father opposed the
union and the love-lorn student resign
ed his hopes of matrimonial bliss The
girl was talented and became a teacher,
and afterwards married the richest man
in France and was the mother of Nine
De Stael She entertained her former
lover at her palace twenty years after
the match had been broken
TO return to American authors am
reminded that Percival proposed but
was refused Indeed, he was unfit for
married life by reason of his peculari-
ties Halleck became deaf and remained
single. SO did Tuckerman. Confirmed
bachelors are rare among the editors,
physicians, lawyers and clergy Of this,
and it has always been So
Almost all the great authors of the
British Empire were married men, al
though some had conjugal trouble.
Among those were Milton, Byron, Shell
ley, Bulwer and Dickens. Walter Scott
was rejected by his first love- who was
above him in rank, but she lived to see
him the greatest author Of his age He
afterward married an heiress Of French
birth, Miss Carpenter but would no
doubt have done better to have allied
himself with Scottish blood His life
was entirely separate from the domestic
circle, and his wife never knew till the
Bannatynes failed that her husband had
for fifteen years been silent partner in
an Edinburg printing house.

Putting the Baby to Sleep.

earnest and repeated solicitations. Find
ing less comfort there than he had rea

my nose, eyes, ears and mouth with his

search by trying his teeth on the afore

An Old Newspaper.

There has lately been discovered in
the library of the University Of Heidel
berg, copy of newspaper which
proves to be the oldest periodical of
which there is now any certain knowl-
edge 1t is a quarter volume bearing
the date Of 1909, and is supposed to
have been printed by John Carolus, of
Strassburg. The paper was issued
weekly ly-each number consists Of two
sheets 1t was mainly occupied with
letters from correspondents in adjoining
states, which We're contributed regularly.
1t is interesting to note that letters
from Vienna were about eight days on
the route. from Venice fourteen to
seventeen days, and from Rome twenty
one days. When the matter contained
in the letters. together with the news
retailed at secondhand, failed to fill
the sheet, the remaining space was left
blank.
Intelligence of every sort found a
place III the journal. Among the
most interesting occurrences noted was
the manufacture Of the telescope by
Calico The correspondent from Flor
ence writes, on September I, to the eff
feet that the government of Venice
made considerable present to Signor
Galileo, of Florenca, Professor of Math-
ematics at Padua, and increased his an
nual stipend by 100 crowns, because
with diligent study he found out rule
and measure by which it is possible to
see places thirty miles distant as if
they were near, and on the other hand
near objects to appear much larger
than they are before our eyes.
