A Richmond (Va.) dispatch says: "Sev-
era months ago Mrs. Marion Hilltz, u
highly respectable and wealthy German
lady, was taken i'll. and, in order to receive
proper nursing and treatment. was remoy-
ed to the Hospital of the Little Sisters OF
the Poor. in the western part of the city.
She was very popular with the inmates OF
that institution, and during her stay made
many friends. About two weeks since
Mrs. Hiltz, who had been in bad health,
grew suddenly quite i'll. During Ter ILL
ness she received every attention from the
good sisters, and all that medical aid could
do to alleviate her suffering was done. She
grew worse, however, and some OF the
physicians came to the conclusion that she
could not live much longer.
Last.Saturday night Mrs. Ililltz died. The
body was, according to the custom.
shrouded and laid out in the parlor Of the
institution. The good sisters who watch
ed by the bedside so faithfully, gathered
by the side of the corpse at midnight when
the clock struck Il. The sisters did not
grow weary in their faithful watch over
the dead sister.
Suddenly. as they looked upon her face
still in death, the sunken eyes appeared to
flash. and the blood came back to the faded
cheek, and, as though imbned with super
human energy, the dead body rose up from
its resting place. which was draped with
black pail. emblematic OF mourning, and
spoke to the affrighted watchers, slying.
IL am not dead vet, but will die soon.'
The old lady then danced around the room.
sung, and shouted in loud ringing voice.
The inmates of the hospital were thunder
struck and paralyzed. As 500" as the
nurses recovered from their fright. they
placed the old lady in bed, VIE, she ling
cred until about o'ciocA, when she again
apparently died. The ali...g las created
the most intense excitement, and today
thousands of persons visited the hospital.
Vcntiiate Your Cellars.
No apartment of dwelling is generally
so imperfectly ventilated rs the cellar.
The,e are hundreds Of cellars in this coun-
try in which the air has never been thor
ouehly changed. 1t is the receptacle, usii-
aliy. of substances capable of vitating and
uniting air for respiration. An effort to
avoid such influences are, as rule, crimin-
allv neglected. and our daughters, who are
TO be mothers of the next generation. are
reared in utter and criminal ignorance OF
the direfiil consequences OF such neglect
In conclusion, | will. as briefly as possi-
bic, explain simple ndeeonomical mode
and the best known to the writer, by which
the cellar of a dwelling may be well venti-
lated. and the air rendered thoroughly sa-
hbrious. have not space IL speak OF
ternpering the air Of the cellar in this con-
nection, but may do SO i'm another paper.
But to yentia;e the cellar it is only neces-
sary to place, pelpenlieularly, near chim-
ney i'm which there is more or hss heat
daily, e. e.. the kitchen chimney, pipe
with the lower end of said pipe within =
tew inches Of the cellar floor; thence let it
enter the heated fiue and extend 10 the top
OF the chimney. The pipe should, for an
ordinary house. be six inches, in cross SEQ
tions. AMI should be made of galvanized
sheet iron. and all joints aud seams should
be soldered. The air in said pipe. on be
coming rarified by the heated air surround-
ing it. win rise md escape at tie top OF the
chimney, and the vacuum can only be sup
piled from the celia. floor. Il will rapidly
and continually exhaust the uaoss objec-
tionable Air ia the cellar, and win automat-
ica!ly, and at nominal cost, and without
care d. attention, produce perfect ventila-
