Fresh Air Indispensable.

But one thing is certain, that the es-
sential element in the good effect of
any climate is the opportunity of
breathing an unlimited amount of fresh
outdoor air, whatever its quality, and
we may confidently assume that when.
ever our buildings shall be SO arranged
as to insure a current of outer air
through them, night and day, to the
extent of lot less than 5000 cubic feet
per hour to each person, and our hab-
its of life shall have increased our av-
erage breathing capacity, and accus-
toned us to outdoor exercise to as great
an extent as that habitualt to the mount
%aineers, we shall not need to envy them
their exemption from pulmonary dis
eases, -Americun architect,

1t your avocations are mentally or physi-
cally laborious, If they subject you to exposure

desk and are Of a nature to involve wear and
tear Of brain, and nervous strain, you may oc-

Mystery solved.

% - a.E-H .Ea.-r EeH - -
Some time ago an article started the
rounds of the press to the effect that a
robust intelligent looking man found
himself standing at the depot at Bel
laire, Ohio, valise in hand, and entirely
ignorant of his identity or past history.
The circumstance occurred a year ago.
Since that event the man has been en-
ployed by the physician at the In
Urinary at B~ellaire, and proved himself
very efficient in compromising prescrlp-
tions. He could give no account of his
former life, Rho he was, where from,
or his NAM His mental condition
was that of n who had suddenly
sprung into existence a full-blown man.
However, With no memory whatever of
the past, ksrpossessed a good business
education; was a graceful penman and

marked him as having been a man used
to cultured society. The article, SO

tracted the attention of G. F. Ran
som, of IClevelandl who repaired 9 at
once to BeIlaire, AND in the mysterious
person he readily reSognized his former
employer, Royal Cc3wles. A c%orrespon-
dent sums up the matter by saying:

TERRIBLE wind storm and Death.

News from England says that the wind
storm of last Saturday aud Sunday was
the most terrible ever witnessed there.
People were blown from their feet in the
streets, trees were %uprooted, walls and
houses blown down, and great damage
done to property generally. 1t was this
gale that caused the awful Dundee ca
lamity. The Tay bridge is fully two
miles long, and the gap made in it,
and by which, through which, or with
which tit is as yet uncertain) a train
bearing 315 people fell, consisted of
eleven spans, each of which were 245
feet In length. AS to the number of
lives lost, various accounts are given.
There is one asserting the number to be
not over ninety. Only one body, at this
writing, has been recovered. Por-
tions Of the wrecked train and
scraps of wearing apparel have
been picked up. The train fell
eighty one feet in its descent, that
being the altitude above the water at
the point at which the bridge gave way.
Whether these spans bad been blown
away before the train entered the bridge,
or whether the train was on them at the
time, will perhaps never be known. The
scene is described as hearsrending. The
barks are crowded with people weeping
and wailing ove the loss of friends and
relatives.

that the soles were half an inch thick of solid

lisving they would be the cheapest in the end
for the old man. Theastorekeeper punched the

her in case they did not stand the warrant, he

History Not His Forte.

Senator Sharon once dined with a
literary club in New York. At the table
he quoted from history, and a little man
at his right joined issue on the ques-
ton. Sharon waxed a trife warm, and
insinnated that his opponent might be
q clever sort of a man, but history was
not his forte. After dinner, Sharon re-
marked to a friend, "Who is that little
cuss there who disputed my dates?'

He Hadn't Eaten Much.

1t was Sunday afternoon, and young
Mr.. Staylaight had stopped until they
were forced to ask him to take supper.

napkins was placed before young MIR.

to create all the impression possible
upon the susceptible mind. His young
lady was conducting herself with. great
credit, and the young man was more
than ever in love with her, when the
mother said, passing the cake for the

The star po.tnl Routes.

The Postmaster General has sent q
letter from General Brady, in regard to
the star service to the Committee on
Appropriations, which shows that this
branch of the service is now costing at
the rate of 81, 100000 above the appro-
priation. The annual cost of the pres
emit service Is stated to be 81, 500, 900,
slthough the appropriation is only
$1,000. 900. General Brady says that
without the appropriation which he
asks for, which is about 50, 0O0, 00e, he
will be obliged to curtail the existing
service in order to bring the cost within
the existing appropriation. He suggests
that 81, 100000 be given him from the
unexpended balance, of the past four
years. This, General Brady says. will
enable the department to maintain the
present service, and besides afford a
margin for a reasonable and necessary
increase during the remaining half Of
the fiscal year,
