Fresh Air in the Bed.ROOm.

How much air can safely be admitted into sleeping or living-room is con- mon question. Rather, it should be considered, how rapidly air can be ad- mitted, without injury or risk, and at how high a temperature. We cannot have too much fresh air, so long as we are warm enough and are not exposed to draughts. What is draught? :? It is swift current of air, at tempera- ture lower than the body, which robs either the whole body, or an exposed part, of it's heat, so rapidly as to disturb the equilibrium of our circulation and give us cold. Young and healthy per sons can habituate themselves to sleep ing in even a strong draught, as from an open window, if they cover them selves, in cold weather, with an abun- dance of bedclothes. But those who have been long accustomed to being sheltered from the outer air by sleeping in warmed and nearly or quite shut up rooms, are too susceptible to cold to bear direct draught of cold air. Per sons over seventy years of age, more over, with lower vitality than in their youth, will not bear low temperature, even in the air they breathe. Like hot house plants, they may be killed by winter nights chill and must be protect ed by warmth at all times. As rule we may say that, except for the most robust, the air which enters at night into sleeping chamber should, in cold weather, be admitted gradually only by cracks or moderate openings; or should have it's force broken by some inter- posed obstacle, as a curtain, etc., to avert its blowing immediately upon sleeper in his bed. The ancient fashion, however, of having bed curtains, which exclude almost all the air, has rightly become almost obsolete. No wonder that people dream horrid dreams, and wake in the morning wearied rather than refreshed, when they sleep in rooms sealed up tightly on every side: breath ing over and over again their own breaths, which grow more and more poisonous with every hour of the night.

Mixed on the Motto.
son.

A policeman in Detroit was, the other day, halted by a two-hundred-pound woman with a parcel in her hand, and she requested to be directed to the store where they sold notices. He asked which particular store she wanted, and she explained:
 "Wen, I can't tell. My old man came to town yesterday, and wanted him to buy the motto of God Bless our Home He got in somewhere where they told him that stylish folks no longer hung up that motto, and the old idiot went and brought home this one."
 She unrolled the parcel and held up a card, on which was tastily painted:
 s'Don't ask for credit-Our terms are cash"
 "You needn't grin," she said as she rolled up the card again "I'm heavy on foot, and the walking is bad, but I'm going to walk this town till I find the man who got this thing off on Samuel for God Bless our Home.'"

The Pension Bureau.

The annual report of the Commis- sioner of Pensions shows that on the Both of June last 250, ,902 persons were receiving pensions from the Government. The pensions average $103.34 each an- nually, an aggregate for all of $25, ,917,- 906. 60. Exclusive of the arrears the payments for the year amounted to $37, ,046, 1855 89, of which $12, ,468, 191. 20 was accrued pension in the new cases. The payment of arrears was begun in May, 1879.

The Commissioner is of opinion that the law does not provide for the payment of these pensions in this manner, and re- quests that the subject be brought to the attention of Congress, and the duties of the Commissioner of Pensions and managers of the Home in relation to these pensions be more clearly defined. Legislation to aut horize the payment of the pensions to the wives and children of insane or imprisoned invalid pension CTS Is recommended also legislation to authorize the pensions of minor children to be commenced at the date of the last payment to the widow of the soldier in cases where she has remarried and con- cealed the fact and continued to draw the pension.

Tho First and the Last Snow.

We take this from the Detroit Free Press. Any one who reads it will hug his little one closer to his heart and thank God it isn't his baby:
 "Oh, mamma! Is it snowing?"
 "Yes, darling; it has just begun"
 "Isn't it nice, mamma; you know I wanted to live to hear the sleigh bells again."
 "Hush, my child; mamma will not let you die. No, darling, you shall have. many sleigh rides yet before you die."
 "No, not many, mamma; if I could have just one, it would be so nice."
 It was last Tuesday and little girl who had seen the snow come and go nine times lay dying in her humble home on St. Antoine street. Weeks and weeks the fever had burned within her, and it's fierce fire showed itself in the deep blue eyes and the lovely, innocent face. The mother, an ever-constant watcher at the sufferers pillow, had never given up hope, but the child, with that knowledge which seems to come to all before death, knew that she would never join her mer- " playmates over on the schoolground. Day by day as the fever burned she had wished for the snow to come, and when the white flakes fell the other day the loving mother changed the child's posi- tion that she might, unwarned, catch the first glimpse of the feecy snow. The child gazed out into the Hurried air long and earnestly, and then when the pain made her writhe, she turned an ap- pealing look to the sad faced mother and said:
 "But, mamma, I don't believe shall ever have another sleigh-ride. Now promise me if this snow is on the ground when I die you'll have my coffin carried to the grave on sleigh"
 "Why, my sweet child, why do you make such 8 request? You shall not die-you will grow better tomorrow"
 "But, mamma, promise me, will you? Please, mamma, please
 "Yes, darling, yes.
 "Oh, thank you, mamma-that's sc nice. See, it is growing dark out, side. Pull the bed nearer the window, mamma, so that I can see the street lamp. There, see-the -fiakes-they glisten just diamonds. Itwill be sleighing in the morning, mamma, and I shall hear the bells"
 Like the snowflake that falls upon the warm earth, she melted away, and nc one knows whether she woke to heal music and bells on that morning we shall all one day open our eyes upon.
 Yesterday passers by turned to look at a small funeral procession, and won dered why the undertaken had put his hearse upon runners so early in the sea- son.

The Next Inauguration Ball.

It is the intention of the citizens of Washington that the inauguration ball shall be on grander scale than any yet held. The new National Museum build ing will be used. It is reached by broad drives on four sides and the floor is on level with the ground without and thus gives abundant ingress and exit.
 The building stands on the ground in the shape of square, with sides of 327 feet in extreme length. This is sur mounted by dome and cross. With in its facade net area of 1O2, 200 square feet, 2.35 acres, is covered by roofs. From one of the cellars sub- terranean communication with the ad- iacent Smithsonian building is estab- lished, which, besides ordinary uses. will serve in cases of panic, fire, rob- bery, etc. On the main floor there are available in seventeen halls, which freely comm unicate with one another, 300 square feet of floor space and pro- portionate amount of wall space for ex- hibition purposes. Further, there are available on the main floor and in upper stories of the four corner pavilions and eight towers 27, 400 square feet of floor space, divided of into thirteen rooms. for administrative purposes, offices, working rooms, photographic studio, the necessary accommodations, etc.
 Further than this, there are 4,OOO square feet of floor space in the gal leries, which are intended in part for special collections and in part to afford an unobstructed view of the ensemble of the exhibits. On the whole, the one-story plan which has prevailed among experts ever since the Paris ex- hibition of 1867, has been adopted, but by the introduction of upper stories in ornamental pavilions and towers, ample office room has been secured without en- croaching materially upon the floor space of the main hall. The center of the building is octagonal on the ground floor, and is surmounted by sixteen sided polygon 267 feet in diameter, which contains tier of large windows and constitute a dome-like structure. with slate roof, 8 lantern crowned by a decorated fnial. The dome is seventy seven feet high on the side walls-1Os feet to the top of the fnial. Four naves, of sixty-fve feet width and 117 feet in length, radiate from the dome and extend to the outside walls of the building; these naves form a Greek cross, over the center of which the dome rises, and part of the spaces be- tween the arms of the cross are fitted up with the halls of sixty-fve feet square, and of the same height as the naves.

A CleW.

There is nothing like presence of mind, after all. The other day, during @ tremendous shower, 8 gentleman en- tered fashionable club, bearing a silk umbrella, which he placed in the stand. Instantly another gentleman, who was mourning the abstraction of just such an article, jumped up. "Will you al- low me to look at that ?" he said, stern ly. Certainly" remarked the um- brella carrier. "I was just taking it to the police station. It was left in my house last night by burglar whom we frightened off. hope it will prove a first rate clew.'' And though the exas- perated owner could plainly see where his name had been scratched off the handle, he sat down and changed the subject.

A MissiOnary's Defence.

Rev. Dr. Parsons, missionary of the American Board at Constantinople, and lately murdered by robber Turks, was a man of great courage and firmness in the path of duty. Some years ago, rid ing alone and unarmed, and with noth- ing of value about him save some Bibles and Testaments, he was waylaid by des- peradoes who demanded his money. He told them he had none. "What are you carrying in that package ?'' "Only good books;' and taking out Bible and talking kindly to those hardened wretches, he persuaded them to buy and pay for Bible apiece. Being killed while asleep, no such defense was posi-

United States Currency.

The report of the Controller of Cur rency of the United States says that the aggregate amount of both kinds of notes in 1879 was $681, ,815, 520, and in 1878, $666, ,333, 137.

[Des Moines Iowa State Register Hon. z. H. VOder,S Position.

A representative mans opinion on other than political matters, is often of great use to his constituency. The Hon. s. H. Yoder, of Globe Mills, Pa., has thus recorded his opinion on & subject of popular interest. I have been selling St. Jacobs Oil for the last year. have never heard person speak of it, except as 0 splendid medicine, and as the great specific for rheumatic affections, wheth- CT indammatory, acute or chronic, swellings, sores, sprains, burns, wounds, etc. I sell more St. Jacobs Oil than of any other kind of liniment, and it gives universal satisfaction. I always keep it on hand. The farmers say, that for man and beast, they find nothing to equal it.
