ventllation.

Many persons complain Of always get
ting up tiredin the morning. This is
very often due to defective ventilatioi
of the bed clothes and bedding. Feath-
or beds are too soft and yielding, and
partially envelop the sleeper, thus pro-
ducing profuse perspiration. Again,
1t is common error to suppose that by,
simply opening a windowYat the top ~
room can be ventilated !. People forget
that for proper ventila tion there must
be an inlet as we'll as an outlet for the
air. In bedrooms there is often neith-
or, aad If there is a fireplace, ii ID gon-s
orally tightly closed. again, IL is a3
mistake to suppose that foul air goes to
the top, but chief impurity, the
'oarbonic acid falls to the: bottom
There Is nothing sd en- cacious inEre-l
moving the lower strata OF air, as the
ordinary are.p place, especial ~ if there
is a fire burning.

IA Mighty Good Stick"

| "COnfOund that sculy sinner; that's
the third time he's skinned my hook, -
and he yanked up his fish pole and pre-
pared to rebait. 1t was OH the sunny
side of the bridge and for three hours,
the two fishermen had silently sat and
the fish had been equally silent. At
tachfng dainty morsel 80 that the
point to be taken could not be seen, he
chuckcd his sinker into the water and
then continued:
"Just out by them 'ar sticks pulled
up monstrous eel, weighed four
pounds and a half.'
"1'm, h'm," remarked his compan-
ion.
Eyes, four pounds and half after it
was dressed. Well, you can jelgo how
| big he was. When l made the chill
dren's shoes in tho winter lined both
pairs with his skin, and had 'nough
left for another pair. L was fishir' Tor
blue fish, too, but the tide got kinder
low, and the bait z OF among the grass.
! and Mr.. Eel he went for it. Couldn't
think what I'D run across. L switched
my pole this way an that way am then
l knew twas an eel. I sorter let him
play with the line till 1 guessed he
might be tired an then | pulled him

81 sh'd say so. This pole jest
doubled right up and tho tip was out
here within a foot O. my hand, but
twas good for him. I'd risk this pole
with ten FOUNDER. It's mighty
good stick. Hello! there's whop-
per !"
just then the "mighty good stick"
! broke off short, and both fishermen
seized hold of the line and pulled for
dear life till the fish OH the hook was
landed. 1t was blue fish and they
took 1t into the nearest counting room
and had it weighed on the postal
scales.
''lt'll cost you just six cents to send
1t at letter POSTAGE" said the obliging
clerk.
''It must have been my other pole

Tho Death OF Louis XVI.

On tho goth of September "a. ID.
1902, Louis XVI. was conveyed to
prison in the old home Of the Iemplars.
One after another they hcaped insults
upon the royal persons, and at length
brought the king to trial. All
condemned him as guilty against ma
| ton; then came struggle as to what
shonld be his punishment. There were
two parties in the Assembly: first, tho
non-Christian Girondists, who sought
a republic, the original leaders of the
Revolution; the second, the Jacobns,
who sought tho utter demolition OF
the old faith. The Girondists were
aversc to tho death of tho King, but
voted for 1t for fear Of their more SAN
culinary rivals; the Jucobins urged his
condemnation, and procured it.. The
kings cousin, Philippe, duke of Or
leans, amid shudderlng, voted for his
death. Out Of seven hundred and
twenty-onc votes Louis XVI. was con-
demncd to die by majority Of twenty
six. The king alone bore tho sentence
calmly. On the night of the 10th OF
January GA. ID. 1889, he saw for the
last time on earth the queen, his two
children, and his sister, Nine. Elizabeth.
They parted at ton O'Clock; the king
and queen gave their blessing to the
Dauphin. Then in the course of the
night the king made his confession to
the Abbc Edgcworth, and early In tho
morning received the blessed Eucharist
from the little altar in his chamber, and
joined in che office for the dying, while
the roll of the drums were gathering
tho attendants Tor his execution. At
nine O'Clock he came forth and looked
up TO the tower whore his wife and
children were imprisoned, then calmly
took his place In the chariot Of death
All along the way he held his mind in
prayer, utterng the Psalms in suppli-
cation Of our Lord God. They were
long in reaching tho fatal spot. AS
they passed on thore was Il great crowd
of people, sad and sileut. AT length
thoy came to the Place Louis Quatorze,
where the obelisk of Luxor now stands
at the end Of the gardens Of his palace;
the executioner bound the hands Of the
king bohind his back. "Endure to the
last, IN likeness to our Saviour" said
his confessor. lie came to the foot OF
the scailold and mounted 1t, looked out
upon the people, and said with loud
voice. 81 am dying Innocent; l for
give all who have made mo die, and
pray that my blood may never fall up
on France and you" Then tho drums
wero beat and drowned the last words.
The blamcless king was seized and laid
beneath the axe, and, amid the prayers
of many one concealed and the awe
OF the vast multitude, the blow fell.
The kings lifeless body was taken to
dishonored burial, while he himself
went to meet the loving countenance
OF kings. .....I#

Improving the indian.

AT traverse City we were joined by
a man from Boston who had "Injun"
on the BRAN. He shook hands with
every redskin he could corner, patted
on the head every papoose he could
reach, and the sight of bark wigwam
would send him off on a journey of
three miles along the sandy beach
When we got up to Old Mission "Hia-
watha," rs we called this Boston man,
found plenty Of rood for his character
istic. Lots Of Indians were loafing
around-greasy, slovenly redskins who
hardly knew enough to catch fish, and
the Bostonian let himself loose. He
was the friend of the red man from the
word "go." His charity extended to
the Indian and no further. The ingen-
uity of the Indian surprised and de-
lighted him, and after paying three
dollars for bark lamp-mat worth
about twenty-five cents he exclaimed
"Why, sir, give the red man halt n
show and his ingenuity would outshinc
the white mans in no time at all! lie
has been Knocked down and stepped on
and kept down, but I'll improve him If
l have to stay here all summer"
The next day, while we were hunting
around for harvest apples, we came up
on about twenty Indians on the shore.
One was using "Hiawatha' g" fine comb
another had his tooth brush cleaning
the sand out Of a sore heel; a third was
trying to wind up his watch backwards ;
a fourth had his wallet; fifth had his
hat and cane. The Boston man had a
bottle of perfumery In his satchel, and
one old squaw was pouring the contents
on the soles of her big, black feet, and
then smelling each foot in succession
Her face bore the broadcast, blandest
smile one ever saw, and was darkened
only when her husband came along
and drank up what perfumcly she had
left.
They sailed away down the bay In
their canoes, and an hour after we
came across the Boston man. His en-
thusiasm had so carried him away that
he had spent the night in wigwam.
While he slept and dreamed Of i'm
proving the poor indian, the poor In
dian had remained awake and inprov-
ed his chances. 1t was sad blow to
tho trusting man, and when we took
up shake purse to send him across
to Petoskoy, he had only one wish. He
wanted to be turned loose in paddock
with all the red men of Michigan for
about half an hour.

Tho Oak Tree.

A long time ago, two lads, called Ed
mond and Oswald, camo before court OF
justice. Edmond said to the Judge !:
''Three years ago, before setting out on a
journey, entrusted to this Oswald, whom
then considered my best friend, a valua-
BILE ring composed of precious stones, but
now he will not restore the ring to me-"
Oswald laid his hand upon his breast and
said, 81 swear by my honor that know
nothing about this ring. Ny friend Ed
mond cannot be in his right senses"
The judge said, edmund can you bring
forward any witness to prove the fact that
you entrusted the ring to his keeping"
Edmond replied ''Unfortunately, we had
no witness except an old oak tree in the
field, under which we took leave of ono
another" tf Z. '253t2 Z, at
Oswald said, "I am ready to swear l
know as little about tho tree as about the
ring"
The judge said, edmond, go and bring
me q branch OF that tree; ] desire to sec It,
You, Oswald you wait here till he returns"
Edmond went. After waiting q little
while the judge became impatient and said :
5"What can be keeping Edmond so long
Oswald open the window, anc eff he Is
returning" %
+ tOlsir," said Oswald, She could not
possibly have returned 90 soon. The tree
is quite an hours walk from here. -
Then the judge said, tOh you wicked
liar, who wished to confirm your lie by an
oath before God, the righteous Judge who
sees into all hearts. You know where tile

And so Oswald was obliged to give up
the ring. and was cOrltl0n1fled Ia "a Ing I'M

noise of the report came from a
canebreak, a quarter of mile away.
Taking lights, two of the hunters made
their way thither and found their COM
rake but Il few rods from the brake,
lying on the ground so badly injured,
as to be helpless and well nigh ex-
hausted. In reply to inquiries he said
he had tracked bear and fired at him
wounding the ferocious beast. he
thought, fatally. On going up to his
prize the bear arose and seized hlm. A
terrific struggle ensued between the
two. Losing his knife in this contest
the hardy hunter said he had no other
means than TO seize Bruins nose in his
teeth. He declared that he had done
this. and with snch effect as to bite Off
the tip Of the entire end of the nose.
The Garth near by was bloody and
trampled, but his comrades ridiculed
the idea of his having bitten Off the
bears nose He continued to assert it
and said that the bear, discounted had
fled and taken refuge In the brake,
where he would wager he then lay
dead. The wounded man was taken
into camp and his injuries attended to
At daylight next morning several of
the hunters went into the brake, and
there found the bear shot through the
body aud with the tip of his nose bitten
Off. The old hunter lived many years
but always spoke with peculiar pride
of his having thus overcome the bear,
and exhibited a score of wounds made
py the animals claws, as proof Of the
story.

The troubles in the metropolis between Tammany
Hall and its opponents also considered seriously
and views were expressed that something should
speedily be done to harmonic the contending fac

was decided upon, but all present were
of the opinion that il Mayor Cooper. who
