VEyTILATioN. of our most eminent
physicians gives us few points about the
proper method Of ventilating a room. lie
says "In practice I have found the best
means of ventilating q room to be by the
windows. Not by lowering them at the top
this establishes q direct current Of cold
air that often will be sensibly felt, and should
always be avoided. By inserting a three
inch strip Of board beneath the lower sash
we obtain the effect Of .'miss-matching" the
sashes where they lap over each other in the
middle, admitting stream of sir which il
thrown directly upward, becomes mixed
with the heated air above, and ensures
perfect ventilation - ingress for an
abundance Of pure air, and egress
for carbonic acid-without the slightest per-
ceptibie draft. Even persons sitting directly
by the windows will feel no cold air. All
the windows in the house, Office, church or
school-room should be thus fitted. It is best
when practicable-and with the delicate and
feeble always--to have the temperature Of
the sleeping-room at comfortable point, not
less than 60 degrees +. Nothing Is gained
to any one by going sbivering to bed. Only
the robust can safely submit to such a prac-
tice. The doctor is sure to afford comfortable
sleeping-rooms u yor don't"

which the mortgage embraces also property
not subject to the laws of Maine, while the
property subject to these laws is of less
value than the mortgage debts. will en-
deavor to obtain the amendment. and ask the
cooperation of the creditors in an effort to
thus close this part of the trust. IT the
amendment is obtained it will he within the
power of the creditors to form the corpora

Maine Mines.

In a retrospective article the Maine Mining
Journal says. work has steadily progressed
upon about forty different properties, in wide
~ scattered localities, up to the present. time
the majority of which are now supplying ores
in quantities of sufficiently high grade to
fully satisfy the stockholders that more sub
stantial results will soon follow. The char
acter of these ores has been fully demonstrate
ed by actual working tests. and they only
await proper methods of treatment near at
hand. These will soon be forthcoming: the
Sullivan mill will shortly start up for pro-
longed run. and with the completion of the
smelling works at Blue Hill and above all
the Portland Smelling and Reduction Works,
Maine will turn out stream of bullion of
which she need not be ashamed. Meanwhile,
although the waiting is tedious. and to none
more so than TO ourselves, knowing that the
value is there and cannot depreciate, while
the ore dumps are rapidly increasing in size.
we must be content to wait until they can be
disposed of in such manner rs shall be most
advantageous for all concerned.
OF those companies which have discontinue
ed work upon their properties, many will
never be heard Of more; but very large
number Of properties now lying idle, are only
so from lack of funds. Quite number of
the most promising prospects in the State
are included in this category: some Of these
are hopelessly involved, while not q few are
in fair way Of securing at least temporary
relief from their embarrassments and will
shortly commence work again with renew ed
vigor.
