Moisture i'm the House.

In all the dwelling rooms of house,
says a writer, winter brings increased
use with less ventilation. Conse luent-
ly, little defects OF cleanliness that quite
take care of themselves III the summer
may cause much trouble in winter. Ty-
phoid fever is more of winter than
summer disease. Most of the epidemics
affecting the skin are more apt to pre-
vail in the winter or early spring. Their
relationship to confined dwellings, and
to the aggregations both OF persons and
things during the cold months is no
longer doubted. Whether filth will or
ignate this or that disease will long be
question of doubtful disputation but
that filth is the nesting place of disease
and chiefly gives it extension and vlru-
lence is no longer doubted. Some of
our physicians are now turning close at
tention to questions OF winter salubrity
1t is claimed that much OF the value Of
Florida III the winter is owing to IL CHI
mate which permits one to be much Ill
open houses. To those at all disposed
either to pulmonary or bronchial all
ments our modes of heating and of
winter ventilation are very embarrassing.
Carbonio acid mingles too much with
the other gases given out from coal, and
produces irritation of the breathing APP
paratus. The dry heat parches the
skin, and so embarrasses the functions
of interior organs. The value of the
bath is as great in winter as in summer
Indeed, in city life it seems almost in
dispensable as means of overcoming
the undue dryness and restoring the
proper temperature through the skin.
In the last few years there has been
much discussion as to the need of moist
ure, as provided in the furnace or on
stoves. The only certain way Is to test
the amount of actual moisture In the
room atmosphere. 1t is hardly possible
to provide SO much moisture i'll this way
as to get those effects which we get in
summer from excessive moisture In the
atmosphere. Often stoves are surmount-
ed with urns SO bright that the water is
scarcely at all evapOrated by the heat
We are satisfied, after careful looking
over the evidence, that we should gen
orally In winter have some artificial
plan for adding moisture to the house
atmosphere. The great problem of how
to have warm and moist air, and get
pure air where persons are living close
ly, still has many unfultilled conditions.

Temper ut Home.

1 have peeped into quiet ''parlors,"
where the carpet is clean and not old,
and the furniture polished and bright;
into ''rooms" where tho chairs are deal
and the floor carpetless; into "kitchens,"
where the family live and the meals are
cooked and eaten, and the boys and girls
are as blithe AZ the sparrows in the
thatch overhead; and L see that it is
not SO much wealth and learning, nor
clothing, nor servants, nor toll, nor idle
ness, nor town, nor country, nor station,
as tone and temper, that makes life joy
Gus or miseraDle-that render home
happy or wretched. And L see, too,
that IN town or country, good sense and
Gods grace make life what no teachers
or accomplishments, or means, or So
ciety can make 1.-THE opening stave of

"Maria," said Mr.. Jones, "what
earthly use does any woman have for

"Tm sure / don't know" answered
Mrs. Jones, meekly: then she added,
sweetly, 81 know good many who have

"Eh = retorted Jones; "oh, yes

"You have fifteen" retorted Mrs.

One Hundred Years Ago.

In 1850 New York had a very cold
winter Both rivers were frozen and
the bay was solidly closed, SO that pen
and teams, and even cannon, passed over
the ice from the city to Staten island,
and the British We're in constant fear
that the daring Yankees would steal
over from Paulus hook (now Jersey
City, and attempt the capture of the
city. Lord Sterling, the American Gen
eral, with 1000 men did cross the Kills,
or strait between Jersey and Staten
island, but the island Tories were on the
alert and the enemy were baffled. Judge
Jones, in his Tory History of New
York, " says that "noman living ever be-
fore saw this bay frozen up" and adds
that 200 sleighs laden with provisions,
with two horses to each, escorted by 200
light horse, passed upon the ice from
New York to Staten island. RiUi,igton's
Gazette of the 26th of January, 1850,
says that 'this day several persons came
over on the ice from Staten island" and
on Feb. l four-horse sleigh crossed
over. Snow fell on the 10th of Novem-
Der and lay almost continuously until
the middle of the next March. In the
woods it WAS four feetupon level. New
York was then a city of30, 000inhabitants.

Gems.

Jewels In heraldry represent colors.
The topaz represents or (gold) or the
planet Sol.
The pearl or crystal represents argent
(silver) or the planet Luna
The ruby represents gules (red) or the
planet Mars.
The sapphire represents azure (blue)
or the planet Jupiter.
The diamond represents sable (black)
or the planet Saturn.
The emerald represents vert (green) or
the planet Venus.
The amethyst representspurpure (pur-
ple) or the planet Mercury.
And now that you have had glimpse
of jewels, think it is time to lock up
the casket.

How 10 Hang Thermometers.

There seem to be so many erroneous
notions among the many amateur mete-
biologists of the city about the minimum
temperature of the twenty-four hours,
and how to obtain it correctly, says a
correspondent of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, that few lines from an cold
weathercock, trust, will not be alto
gether lost. In the first place, then,
the temperature of the wall of any build
ing at any hour of the night or day is
not the true temperature OF the circulat-
ing air, and is of no use to science. A
wood wall will radiate its heat more
rapidly than brick or stone, and the
amateur scientist who hangs his Their
mometer on wood wall can force his
mercury down below the amateur who
selects a brick wall. The proper way to
expose your thermometer Is to surround
il with light wood frame, covered with
Stats, like shutter work, and rooted over
This will protect it from the direct rays
of the sun and reflected heat. Run
light wood bar across the center of your
shelter, to which you can attach the
thermometer, which should be, when
properly exposed, on the north side of
the building, and at least one foot from
all surrounding objects. If these direc-
tons are followed, erroneous reports of
extreme cold weather will not find their
way into print SO often. 1t is not very
funny thing for the press to report %
deg. below zero, when Is deg. repre-
scented the true temperature of the Cir
culating air. 1t gives persons abroad
wrong impressions of yOur climate.

A Narrow View.

There is Judge in Galveston whose
head is as bald as that of the American
eagle. A little boy, living next door,
has got it into his head that lack of hair
is inseparably connected with the title
of Judge, consequently when a lawyer,
whose head is densely covered with hair,
called, and was addressed as Judge"
little Tommy shook his head, and said /:
"You amt no Judge. Can't fool me.
"Why am no Judge?"
Zoos yer hair mint parted wide
enough" was tho guieless reply.-GoI
