The Fresh air Fallacy.

Fifty wears ago few people knew much
in its importance; and crusade in favor Of
fresh air" was fought BY the sanitarians
Now the tide runs the other wav, and all
dull people have learned the phrase fresh
air and insist on having what they call
''tresh air" at any cost, and without regard
to times and places. Two men will come
into the spacious parlor of club the air
though warm, is much purer, and cooler by
FIVE degrees, than the furnace blast of the
streets that they have left. The lncomers are
entirely comfortable until one of them notices
that the windows are shut. Then they re-
member the formula "fresh air" the windows
are ordered open; in comes the heated gust
from without laden with the animal refuse
that forms the chief ingredient of the dust in
our large cities. These Intelligent gentlemen
draw near the open window; they inhaIe the
winged odors' of the streets, they murmur
their formula, "A little fresh airs" they have
cleared their consciences, and are happy
And in travelling, what do we not suffer
from this ignorant conception of fresh air,'
We have all seen the lady who must have
the window open in the railway carriage;
in the summer she breathes the railway
sparks and cinders, and she catches severe
cold on every winter journey; nothing short
OF pneumonia will convince her narrow

The only moral that seemed proper to be
drawn from the occurrence was that hats like
other articles should be in keeping with the
circumstances under which they are worn,
and that g ''crush" hat has its uses. When,

Of the condition of the forests in this State
came before the Legislature, at its recent SEES
sion, and joint resolution was adopted, di.
recting the Governor to appoint three com
missouers "to inquire into the subject of the
forests Of Vermont, as to their extent and
condition, aud what If any measures should
bs taken in respect to their protection and
to report the same at the next session of the
Legislature" Under this resolution, Cover.

Proctor, Hon. Frederick Billings and Hon.
+. j. Phelps, as commissioners, and they Or
ganized by choosing Ex-Governor Proctor as
chairman. That gentleman prepared and
forwarded to careful persons In all parts of
the State, circulars requesting information as
to the oxtent OF the forests in each locality,
the progress being made in stripping them,
and so on. The gentlemen addressed have
been gathering the information desired,
and answers from nearly all OF them
have been received; and when all The
returns shall have been received and colated
the commissioners will begin their sessions.

Estimating the strain upon the Nerves
of nm Expert TeiegrRphcr.

at can't be possible that the people who
fail to sympathize with the strike of the craft
appreciate the work We do for the money"
an expert operator said. 1T is said that our
business does not take very high order of
ability. Perhaps that is so but it Is an
open question still. But granting that most
OF us are light-headed, the expert operator
must OF necessity serve very long appren-
ticcship in order to acquire to rudiments of
the art and master its manual difficulties
The simple exercise of the wrist and fingers
at the keys in transmitting messages is a task
only learned by years Of practice. Operators
who have taken up the business when of age,
seldom or never, to my knowledge, become
proficient. You have to begin when you are
young. Just calculate for minute the mo-
tions-all requiring u high nervous tension,
which the operator makes in working his
instrument. The Morse letter averages six
motions; therefore counting words at an
average Of five letters, 80 motions are made
to each word. Past operators will. average
thirty words minute, or 900 motions. This
gives a total of $4,000 motions an hour.
Tho expenditure of nervous energy therefore
is something terrible, a fact which accounts
Tor the short,lvedness OF the telegrapher
inc receiving Oh messages uocs nor Cost 80
much vital force, although 1t is quite
frequently wearing task. Take the man
who receives press reports at night. The
dispatches which come in before 80 is re.
ceived-'a0' means the end-will average
about 35 large sheetv Of matter, closely
written. The mere task of copying this If
dictated by second person, would wear out
many men. But when 1t has to be read by
ear click by click the strain is very severe.
The greatest care has to be exercised 10 make
the copy clear and legible and to get the sense
of the abbreviated sentences right. II any
body IN the world earns his wages II is the
operator, whether he has brains or not"
