Healthy Homes.

Robert Rawlinson, G. E., London
says;
t4The sub soil b.ntath house should
Ne naturally airy, or it should be made
dry by land draining.
The ground floor of house should
not be below the level of the land, street
or road outside.
A site excavated on the side OF hill,
or steep bank, is liable to be dangerous,
as external ventilation may be defect
i've, and the subson water from above
may soak toward and beneath such
houses. Middens, cesspools and ash
pits, if at the back, must also faint such
Easements.
The subsoil within every basement
should have layer of concrete over it,
and there should be full ventilation.
Cesspools, cesspits, sinkholes, drains
&c. should not be formed nor be retained
within house Easements.
The grounds round dwellings house,
should be paved, tagged, asphalted, GOV
cred with concrete, or be graveled.
Outside channels should be in goo
order, and be regularly cleansed.
House caves should be guttered an,
sprouted.
Swill tubs should not be near doors o
windows.
Pigstyes should ever be at distance
and, where pigs are kept, there shout
be rigid cleanliness. Improperly keel
ing pigs has caused more human sicl

"Good night. will think of what I
you have said"
The more Fred thought of it the |
more sure he felt that his brother was
right; and at last he fell asleep,
resolving that he would in future
do one thing well before beginning an
other.
The next day, however, Fred found
that 1t is not easy to break off bad
habit. He was brushing his clothes,
when he remembered that he had not
cleaned his teeth. He half cleaned his
teeth, when he left of to begin to brush
his hair, and so he went from ore
thing TO another until the bell rang, and
he was obliged to hurry down to break
fast.
"Your hair does not look smooth,
Fred" remarked his mother, and he
remembered that he had forgotten to
finish it.
| After breakfast he took up his books
to study his lesson. He had got about
halfway through when he left of to
spin top for his little brother. He
finished that and then went back to his
books, but instead of learning one les
son quite perfectly, he read them all
80 when school tine came he knew
nona.
But one good thing came from hi
having lain awaketbat night and talked
to his brother. He was now watchfu
OF himself. When he found that h,
} had half dozen things begun, ant
Q none finished, he made himself go bacl
and finish the first one and then tn
l other. AT first it was quite hard work
and he had to exercise strong restrain
T over himself. But after a time i
:, became more easy, and he foun
that 1t saved time, and was the mean
IT of accomplishing more work.
But did he succeed better when b
" had broken himself of the habit 7
Yes, he found that his mother wa
better pleased with him, and that h
as teachers did not so often have occasio
in to reproye him, and that his conscient
at did not make him as uncomfortable
er before. He did not again call bimse
as unfortunate, for he had discover

scarcely three years old. She pressed
to her breast a small white-and-bl
kitten which she had been carrying, and
said:
''I's 'fraid we's lost, Pussie."

strayed from home, brought her and her
kitten to the Police Central Office, where
she was placed in charge Of Matron

after an absence of two years with that in
imitable side splitting, button bursting
comedy, NIP and Tuck" which IN Febru-

any play ever introduced here. The plot,
the fun, the grotesque situations, in the
attempt of one partner of the firm of Nip e.
Tuck to outwit and overreach the other,
all combined produce comedy which is
simply immense.
