Sunlight and Health.
Sunlight is even more necessary

Sunlight is even more necessary to
health in summer than in winter, for
one among other reasons, that disin-
fect.Ants of all sorts are more necessary
in summer than in winter. The rays
of heat quicken the vital powers, the
chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, aud the illumin-
ating rays Independently of the others,
AZ has b, en- recently proved by Mr..
Crooke to the satisfaction of the ablest
scientists, communicate motion. The
exhalations from our bodies in warm
weather are more copiuus than they are
in cold weather, and if we shut out the
light from our houses we remove the
most efficient of all agents in destroy
ing what is unwholesome. The nox.
ious vapors which free admission of air
and light would remove, are absorbed
by carpets and upholstry, and become
productive of disease. Those who are
accustomed to the darkness and damp
ness of close rooms may not conscious
ly suffer therefrom, but that they sus-
tain real injury is evident in their
pallld faces, their haccid muscles, and
nerveless movements. The contrast
between them and those whose lives
pass in the open air is too evident to
need comment. 1t may not he neces-
sary to expose during the day every
room in the house to the direct rays of
the sun, but there should be frequent
opening of the doors and windows, SO
that the solar beam may perform its
beneficial office. Bedrooms and other
rooms in constant use should receive
most careful attention in this respect.
Sick rooms especially require thorough
summing and ventilation, and, if possi-
BILE, should always have u southern as
pect. More patients die on the north
side of hospitals than on the south side;
there are more deaths on the shady side
of any street than ON the sunny side.
A notable southern housekeeper, OBJ
serving strictly the following rule dur
ing the summer months, kept her house
perfectly sweet and cool and dry from
May to October: Until ten o'clock in
the morning all the doors and windows
were opened vide; then they were
closed until four i'll the afternoon; then
opened again till nightfaii. This rule
might not do for all localities, but such
