Height and Light in the Sick Room.

recent writer gives the following SEN
sible suggestions on this subject:
Each person in room should be sup
piled with 5000 cubic feet of air per
hour; and this should be done, where
possible, without creating a perceptible
draft, for the nervous irritation induced
by drafts is liable to produce internal in
famations.
The temperature of the sick room
should be kept at uniform height, the
best average being from 65 to 70 degrees
Fab, except for infants or very old peo-
pie, who require temperature from rs
to 80 degrees Fab; and for these it is
especially important to guard against
changes, and to keep it as uniform as
possible. All cases of fever require
temperature lower than the average, as
from so to so degrees F., to assist IN re-
ducing the high temperature of the body;
but when the fever subsidies, and there is
debility remaining, the temperature
should be raised somewhat above the
average.
As patient can bear a greater degree
of cold when in bed than when out Of it,
convalescents from severe disease, fevers
especially, should have the temperature
of their rooms higher than that main
tanned during the height of the attack.
Diseases of the air passages, in Group and
diphtheria, require a high temperature
$50 degrees to S5 degrees Fahrenheir) and
moist atmosphere. The best method for
heating the sick room is by the open
CRATE fire. The sick room should not be
darkened by blinds, except where is q
disease of the eyes with photophobia, or
when the patient is very restless and can
not sleep; then strong light must be ex-
cluded. Otherwise the sunlight should
be allowed to enter and act chemically in
decomposing the noxious gasses, and thus
purify the air. OF course it is not advis-
able to place the patient under strong
uncomfortable glare of sunlight, nor in
summer to allow the suns rays to shine
into the room and raise the temperature
too high. Artificial light has no useful
effect but does harm by burning up
oxygen.

Croup.--Croup requires prompt and
vigorous treatment. or it may speedily
prove fatal. On this account no mother
ought ever to be without ipecacuanha-
wine in the house. Directly the metal
lie cough peculiar to the complaint is
heard, give the child a teaspoonful every
ten minutes till he vcmits freely. He is
then safe until medical aid can be pro-
cured. He should be kept III warm
room two or three days, and the simple
cough medicine recommended for a child
should be given him. As ipecacuanba
quickly deteriorates in quality, fresh
supply should be obtained every three
months. As long as the wine is clear, it
is good; when it is thick, it is of no use.

Trapping a Witness .

1t is of Warren, the author of "Ten
Thousand Year," that this sharp prac-
tice in the examination OF man accused
OF swearing falsely in a will case is re-
lated. 1t shows great dramatic power
unconsciously exhibited in his daily busi-
ness:
The prisoner being arraigned and the
formalities gone through with, the pro-
secutor placing his thumb over the seal
held up the will and demanded of the
prisoner whether he had seen the testato1
sign that instrument, to which he prompt
ly answered he had.
''And did you sign it at his request as
subscribing witness?"
II did,"
"Was it sealed with red OF black wax?
"With red wax
Did you see him seal it with red wax
81 Id1d."
"Where was the testato1 when he signed
and sealed this will?"
SIN his bed."
"Pray how long a piece of wax did he
use2"
"About three or four inches"
"Who gave the testator this piece of
wax?"
II did"
"Where did you get it?''
"From the drawer in his desk.'
Glow did he light. the piece of wax2''
"With candle"
''Where did the piece of candle come
froms"
81 got it out of a cupboard in his room. -
chow long was that piece Of candle2"
"Perhaps four or five inches long"
"Who lit it,
81 lit it,"
"What with?"
"With metch''
"Where did you get the match9'
Son the mantel shelf in his room.''
"You didy"
II did"
Here Warren paused, and fixing his
large blue eyes upon the prisoner he held
the paper above his head, his thumb still
resting upon the seal, and IN solemn.
measured tone, said:
NOV, Sir, upon your solemn oath, you
saw the testator sign that will; he signeit
it in his bed; at his request you signed il
as subscribing witness; you saw him
seal it; it was with red wax that he
sealed it;a piece Of two, three or four
F1nches long; he lit that wax with piece
of candle which you procured for him
from cupboard; you lit that candle by
match which you found on the mantel
| shelf!''
81 did,"
"My lord-it is wafer"
The prisoner was convicted.

Change in the Moon.

Evidence of change may be discovered
which can be explained. The moon is
exposed to the action of heat other
than that which pervaded her own frame
at the time OF her first formation. The
suns heat is poured upon the moon dur
ing the long lunar day of more than a
fortnight, while during the long lunar
night cold prevails which must far ex-
ceed that of our bitterest Arctic Winters.
We know from the Disbursements
made by the present Lord Rosse, that
any part OF the moons surface ut lunar
midday is fully 500 degrees Fahrenheit
hotter than the same part two weeks
later at lunar midnight. TIE alternate
expansions and contractions resulting
from these changes of temperature can.
not but produce changes, however slcw-
y, IN the contour of the moons surface
Prof. Newcomb, indeed, considers that
all such changes must long since have
been completed. But I cannot see how
they can be completed SO long as the
moons surface is uneven, and at present
there are regions where that surface is
altogether rugged. Mighty peaks and
walls exist which must one dav be
thrown down, so unstable is their form
deep ravines can be seen which must one
day be the scsnce of tremendous land
slides, SO steep and precipitous are their
sides. Changes such as these may still
occurr on so vast scale that telescopes
may hope from time to time to recognize
them. But changes such as these are not
volcanic; they attest no lunar vitality
they are antecedently so probable, indeed,
while volcanic changes are antece lently
so unlikely, that when any change is
clearly recognized in the moons surface,
nothing but the most convincing evidence
could be accepted as demonstrating that
the change was of volcanic origin and
not due to the continued expansion and
contraction Of the lunar crust.-Proctor
IN BeIgraoia.

"Presently his hand is accidentally

after half hour spent in signing, cough

so those volumes from their shelves
Watched him silent as themselves,
All! his hand will never more
Turn their storied pages DER;
Never more his lips repeat
Songs Of theirs, however sweet.

He is gone who was their guest.
Gone as the travellers haste to leave
An inn, nor tarry until eve.

In wlat planet, in what star,
In what vast aerial space,

Was the garner of thy hearse,
Thou hast sung with organ tone
In Deukalion's life thine own.

Rang for thee their loud farewells.

Lying dead beyond the sea;
Lying dead among thy books;
The peace of God in all thy looks.
