sunlight

In all houses with north front 1t Is
the positive duty of families occupying
them to transfer their living rooms tc
the south side of the house during the
winter months. The sun rises and sets
during the six cold months of the year to
the southeast of west, so that south
rooms are warmed up by rays of the
sun more or less during the entire day.
Those who have never experiment
ed with the difference will probably
be surprised 10 learn that there is diff
ference OF from five TO twenty-five
degrees in the thermometer between
the north and south exposures, five to
ten degrees difference in the morning
and afternoon, and from twenty 10
TWENTY-FIVE degrees in the middle OF
the dav. The glass in windows is a
non-conducUor of atmospheric cold,
while il is an assistance to the active
transmis sions Of the suns rays of light
and heat. Wherever the suns rays
can be enjoyed longest during a win
ter's day is the desirable part OF the
house for living purposes. Due atten-
ton 10 this fact Will contribute enor-
mously not merely TO the comfort, but
to the health, of the women and chill
dren who spend the greater part Of
their time within doors in the winter
season. There is vast amount of talk
about ventilation and change OF air as
necessary to good health, but the suppres
ion of the light and mephitic sewer gases
bv affording proper avenues OF escape,
and an admission OF all the available
sunlight. are the two CHIEF conditions
to good health in household life. In
France. Italy and Germany, though
the winter climates are not nearly so
severe as our own, the benefits of sum
light are understood better and culti-
yaied more generally than among as.
The comparative scarcity and costliness
Of fuel in those countries have led peo-
pie 10 take advantage of the suns heat
TO the largest possible extent. The
natural warmth of the suns rays should
be more cultivated III a cold climate
like this, and any change in house
necessary TO the better enjoyment
thereof will save more in the reduced
consumption of fuel than il can posi-
bly, cost. The south exposure is not only
warmer, but less damp, and in every
way more conductive to good health
than any other.

THE TERRIBLE CHILD. OF the late
Bishop wilberforce this story is told
On one occasion, while staying i'll a
country house not many miles from
Windsor, the daughter of his host, a
little girl of seven, suddenly broke out
before all the assembled company: Il

his knee and said: OF course L VIII,
my little dear, what is it?' The child
looked gravely up at him, and let fall
the following terrible question: why
does every one call you 'Soap-Sam!
You can easily imagine the feelings OF
the company; but the bishop was quite
equal to the occasion, and after having
cast a half-mocking and cynical glance
round the room, replied simply: u

me 'Soapy sam because whenever

The other evening the Rev Mr.. Philacter
sat down to the tea table with a very
thoughtful air, and attended to the wants
Of his brood in a very distracted manner.
Presently he looked UP at his wife and
said:
1.-The Apostle Paul"
''Got an awful lump on the head 'safter-
noon" broke IN the pastors eldest son,
PLAYING base ball. Bat flew out of the
strikers hand when / was umpire, and
cracked me right above the ear, an dropped
me. Hurt? Golly," and the lad shook
his head in dismal but expressive panto-
mime as he tenderly rubbed a lump that
looked like billiard ball with hair on it.
The pastor gravely paused for the Interrupt
tion, and resumed:
1.-The Apostle Paul
''Saw Mrs. O'GhemInie down at Green
baum's this afternoon" said his eldest
daughter, addressing her mother ''Sne

at-tail basque pattern, overskirts made
with diagonal folds in front, edged with
deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black
velvet facing inside the brim, and pale blue
flowers. She's going to Chicago"
The good minister waited patiently, and
then, in tones just shade louder, said:
''The Apostle Paul"
'sWent in swimmin' last night with Har-
~ and Ben, pop, and stepped on a clam
SHE'LL" exclaimed his youngest son; ''cut
my foot so can't wear my shoe; and please
can't | stay home tomorrow"
The pastor informed his son that he
might stay away from the river, and then
resumed his topic He said:
.'The Apostle Paul says"
'.My teacher is an awful liar, shouted the
second son; -'he says the world is as round
as an orange, and it turns around all the
time faster than a circus man can ride. i
guess he hain't got much sense"
The mother lifted warning finger to-
ward the boy, and said ''hush"' and the
father resumed:
1.-The Apostle Paul says
'.Don't bite off twice as much as yoB can
chew" broke out the eldest son, reproving
the assault of his little brother on piece of
cake. The pastors face showed Just a
trifie of annoyance as he said. in very firm,
decided tones:
1.-The Apostle Paul says"
s'There's fly in the butteri" shrieked
the youngest hopeful of the family, and a
general laugh followed. When silence
was restored, the eldest daughter, with an
air of curiosity said:
swell, but, pa, | really would like to
know what the Apostle Paul said?''
''Pass me the mustard, said the pastor,
absent4y.
Then the committee rose, and the senate
went into executive session, and soon after

Law for the People

A parole gift Of personal property
must be accompanied by possession.
The attempt to commit a felony or
misdemeanor, is an indictable offense.
Ii is larceny to appropriate goods
mislaid, or left by mistake.
A verbal release of debt, not foun-
ded on valuable consideration, will
not bar an action.
Guardians, if practicable, must lend
out the money of their wards, on
good security, and must collect the
interest annually.
Any one who takes possession of a
minors estate without authority of law /,
may be held liable as guardian.
The voluntary concurrence of COM
petent minds is required to make val
id contract. If deception be practiced.
by either of the parties, in a material
matter, or either be so intoxicated as TO
be unable to comprehend the nature
and effect OF the transaction, this
invalidates the contract.
The father is the natural guardian
and custodian of his children; but. in
case OF separation, their custody may
be given to the mother, if the father is,
from any cause, unfit for their control,
or unable to support them.
An action for the recovery of specific
property may be brought without Civ
ing the bond specified in the Code,
when the simple question of title is
tried, and the possession of the proper
ty left undisturbed.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for
the commission of crime, but ignorance
of facts may render a civil contract
voidable.
There is no warranty of title at an
administrator sale. but a personal
representative is bound to make TO the
purchaser valid conveyance of such
title as his decedent had. He is liable,
personally, for all damages arising
from his failure 10 follow the law.
1t is a violation OF the law for the
occupyers of lands, under common
fence, TO turn their stock within the
general enclosure, during the cropping
season. The party so offending COM
mIts an indictable offense, and is civilly
liable fo.' all damages that ensue.
Ifan administrator or executor give
note, or make any other contract In
his representative capacity, which the
law does not authorize, he fails to bind
the estate, but is individually liable
upon the same.
The law presumes that every person
intends to do that which he does.
Drunkenness is no excuse Tor crime.
A person may have his domicil in
one County or State, and his citizenship
in another. Citizenship is not lost or
changed, by residence abroad, so long
as ''the intention to return" exists.
An unwritten will of personal prop
erty is valid when the property does
not exceed $500, and the bequest is
made during the last sickness of the
deceased.
The mortgage aud not the mortga-
gor, must pay the fees for recording
the mortgage.

The Chinese, who esteem rats TO be a
delicacy, are down on the use of milk.
The following translation of Chinese
placard regarding the highly immoral
practice of consuming cows milk Is
sent for publication: "Strictly refrain
from eating cows milk. Man should
not rob the beasts of their food. More
over of all beasts the COW is the most
useful and meritorious. Men who do
not discriminate between mankind and
beasts are worse than senseless. Those
who sell milk darken their consciences
for gain, and those who eat cows milk
foolishIy think they are benefiting
their bodies. Men who take medicine
should first carefully investigate and
find out its nature. Why do not those
who eat cows milk consider and in
quire into its origin? For instance,
men have families, and while the
children are small they depend upon
milk for their nourishment; so it is also
with beasts. But when men buy milk
to eat, do they not do injury TO the life
of the calf? And is there not bitter
hatred and distress in the minds of
both COW and calf? Beasts cannot
speak; how then are they able TO tell
the man that. in eating the milk of
beasts, his body becomes like that OF
birds and beasts? But if men wish TO
take strengthening medicine, there are
numberless other articles in the world
that are beneficial; and what necessity
then is there for taking cows milk?
Besides this, the death and life of men
have their fixed number and limit,
and this cows milk cannot lengthen
out ald continue the life of man. Since,
then, all know the truth-that il cannot
do this, all ought to act with loving and
benevolent spirit. Especially all who
receive this exhortaJion should keep
from eating milk. The children OF
those who cause their families TO refrain
from eating milk will be preserved TO
grow up: they also will thus lengthen
out their own lives, and Will escape
from evil in time of fatal epidemics. II
such persons be able also TO eXhort
others, who are Ignorant OF first princi-
piles, to leave of the eating of milk,
their descendants shall surely prosper"
