LET THE BEDS BE AIRED.-lt is bad
plan TO snake up" the beds Immediately
after breakfast The sleeping apartments
In the house should be aired every day.
Beds should be opened every morning to
the sun and to the atmosphere. Do not
be in too much hast to get the chambers
in order. Let the sheets and blankets
he spread over separate chairs, the mat
sresses lift.d apart, and the pure NOR
ming air be allowed to get into every
nook and Granny of the room before the
beds are made. Better TO endure little
delay in getting the house in order than
loss of health.

H~Dr. B. Richardson, OF London, in
recent lecture In London on "An@s-
rhetic Sleep and the Temporary Aboli-
non OF Pain" remark that the credit of
having introduced chloroform belonged
to the late Sir James Simpson of E1in-
burg. Its Introduction and application
were objected to on religious grounds,
some people eoptending that man, ac-
cording to Scripture, should endure pain
and trouble throughout life. Sir James
Simpson threw the scriptural argument
back upon those who used it by saying,
that when the first man had an operation
performed upon him, he was put in '.s
deep Sleep" and knew nothing OF the
time when the rib was taken from him.
