before Judge Burr


There were only two DRINKS arraigned be-
fore Judge Burr yesterday. This may have
been owing to the temperance boom in our
city, or the circumstance may have been
purely accidental. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that the temperance movement will grow until
drunks get to be like angels visits, few and
far between. Some allowance will have to be
made for the old DRINKS, who claim
that the world wasn't made in day, and that
drunkenness is a disease which requires a
more gradual course of treatment than is pre-
scribed by the temperance crusaders. But
even if we are doomed to have drunks always
among us there is no harm in hoping that the
horrors of inebriety may be mitigated and
'beastly drunks" be gradually transmitted
into "gentlemanly drunks."

keep Out the Cold AIR.


its much better to have the vCnt.sa-
ton under control than to have q con-
slant importing of air, no matter how
cold it may be. The windows, especially
in houses built as cheaply as possible,
let in all around (and particularly where
the two sashes meet) an astonishing
amount of air, so much that in severe
weather it is almost impossible to make
the room comfortably warm. By
checking this inflow of cold air from
without, the same amount of fuel that
before failed to- make the room warm
enough viii be so much more effective
that Considerably less coal or wood will
be burned. ssWeather strips of vari-
Gus kinds have been invented to be used
around windows and doors for the par-
pose to which we have referred. The
essential part of these is o narrow strip
of rather stiff India-rubber fabric, at
tached to a strip of wood or metal,
which may be fastened to the windoWin
such manner that the rubber will COW
er the cracks between the sashes and
the frames, and elsewhere. These strips
are very useful, but are not to be had in
all places; besides. while not very costly,
they involve an outlay which many
would gladly avoid. Before the rubber
strips were introduced wooden ones were
in common use. The material known
as stlist'' or sslisting,' y the marginal
strips being woven on broadcloth and
other goods, is convenient, and costs
little or nothing. This material Is not
lobtainable everywhere, nor is it the best
substitute for the window strips. By
FASTING strips of paper around the sashes
the current of air can be kept out quite
as completely as by any other method.
Brown paper will answer as well as any,
and if the job be neatly done, it will not
be unsightly. When no longer nee1ed,
the paper may be pulled off after it has
been Wetted with warm water. One
sash in each room should be left for
necessary Eentilafien,s and. some naova-f
BILE strip, such as ,lath, covered with
cloth, provided to close its cracks If
necessary. A strip Of board or plank
covered with some fabric, to be used to
close the crack at the bottom of each
door, will be found very useful A1ler-
