exist, to drive a man out of the country

Since his arrival in Havana, Gen. Grant
has been enthusiastic in hispraises Of Florida
According to him, the peninsula will pro-
duce withina few years enough sugar, tobac
co, and Oranges to supply the United States
and leave something over. But the sugar
and tobacco people of Havana say that the
Florida soil cannot produce the finer kinds
of sugar and tobacco. The ex-President,
however, is sure that the immigration from
New England will remedy this lack, and he
depends upon Yankee ingenuity to adapt
the soil to the tobacco plant, just as he hope.
that Yankee Republican management N ay

What is in a Bedroom.

If two persons are TO occupy the same
bed room during a night, let them step upon
scales as they retire and then again in the
morning, and they will find their actual
weight is at least pound less in the morn
ing. frequently there will be loss oftwo
or more pounds, and the average loss
throughout the year will be more than one
pound-that is, during the night there is a
loss of pound of matter which has gone off
from the bodies, partly from the lungs and
partly thro' the pores Of the skin, The
escaped material is carbonic acid and de.
cayed animal matter, or poisonous exhala-
tons. This is dffused through the air in
part,and in part absorbed by the bed clothes.
If single ounce OF cotton or wool is burned
in room, it will soon completely saturate
the air with smoke that one can hardly
breathe, though there can only be an ounce
of foreign matter in the air If an ounce
ofcotton is burned every half hour during the
night, the air will be kept continually satu-
rated with the smoke, unless there is an
open door or window for it to escape. Now
the sixteen ounces of smoke thus formed is
far less dangerous than the sixteen ounces
of exhalation from the lungs and bodies OF
persons who have lost pound in weight
during the eight of sleeping, for while the
smoke is mainly taken into the lungs, the
damp odors from the body are absorbed into
the pores of the body. Need more be said
to show the Importance of having bedrooms
well ventilated, and thoroughly airing the
sheets ,coverlets and mattresses in the morn.
