Keeping Flowers in Bed Room.


Dr. Rekllm of Berlin, has expressed the
opinion that the inlispositioas, in tho shape
of uneasy sleep, headache, etc, which are
sometimes found to result from keeping
flowers all night in bedroom, do not arise
from any specisl properties OF the flowers.
The effect, he thinks, is analogous to that
produced on the eyes and cars by excessive
light and by loud sounds, being, i'll fact,
caused by continual strain on the ofactorl'
nerves. More or less similar consequences
arise, it is remarked, from bright light
Icing kept burning in IA bedroom, or from
the noise Of the wind, or of vehicles passing
by; the brain being disturbed from its wonted
rest by these external influences. The
moderate use Of perfumes, it is argued, can
not be regarded as injurious.

1t is probable that the numerous
poisonings from ice-cream which have
been reported this summer from widely
separate regions may be traced to some
new departure in fiavoring extracts. If
proper. care were taken, the poison
might be traced to its source. The ice
cream poisoning has been sort of cpl
demic this season, and merely fortui-
tous circumstances will not account for
it. A. single maker of adulterated flavor
ing extracts is probably responsible for
the whole mischief. If some one would
take the trouble to trace the matter up

In the seVenty-two years prior to the
civil war, the South possessed the
Presidency for forty-nine years. The
extraordinary contributions of Virginia
to the Presidency We're due, not at all
to her location, but to the unusual re-
lations of her strong men to the Gov
eminent during the period of the
Revolution and the settlement of the
Constitution. Virginia has furnished
no President since Monroe went out in
1924, unless we count the accidental
service of John Tyler, whose selection
as the Wing candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent in 1910 was the result of an
intrigue.
Tennessee and Illinois stand next to
Virginia. The sixteen years during
which Tennessee man has occupied
the White House include the eight years
of Andrew Jackson, who would have
been just as strong a candidate if he
had been born in Delaware or Rhode
Island. They include also the four
years of Andrew johnson, who was not
elected to the Office of President. OF
the two Presidents from Illinois, Lin
coin was not nominated because he
hailed from State it was important to
carry; and Grant, at the time of his
candidacy, was regarded more as 81
citizen of the United States at large
than as son of Illinois. Utica IN. T.
