How to Secure Good Ventilation for u
Bathroom.

A Roxbury Mass. lady was recently
the heroine of a clever little comp
d'etat. Finding the bathroom of the
house she had rented had no means of
ventilation, she applied to the city
health authorities for assistance. An
inspector found the lady's complaint
well founded, and n notice was sent to
the landlord requesting him to repair
the defect. This SO provoked the land
lord that he rushed into the bathroom
and declared there was no earthly
reason for the complaint. The lady ex-
planned that the lack of ventilation was
especially noticeable when the door of
the bathroom was closed, SO she slipped
out, closed the door and locked it,
leaving the landlord inside, and stoutly
refused to unlock the door until that
irate person had acknowledged the san
itary defect, and solemnly promised to
have it corrected forthwith. After be-
ing imprisoned din hour, the landlord
gave in, and now there is one more
well-ventilated bathroom in Roxbnry.

BRoWN's IRON BITTERs

medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or

fruitful source of intemper-
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Browns IRON B1TTERs
is guaranteed to be a nom
Intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso-
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi-

nation was trying the var GUS so called cures,
all the time, and was under the treatment of a
physician seven weeks, but getting no substantial

informed me Of the great benefit which he had OBJ
tanned by the use of Hunts Remedy, and urged me
to try 1t, as he considered it a wonderful medicine
commenced taking Hunts Remedy, having very
little faith that it would do much in such stubborn
case mine, but my doubt soon dispelled, for
before had taken one bottle began to get better,
the severe pains disappeared. the swollen leg
gradually decreased in size, and was encouraged
to continue the use of the Remedy; and the i'm
provement to my health continues; my appetite is
good. l have regained my strength, and am now
performing again my duties as watchman at the

than one hundred times, and am in good condition.
and feel that my recovery is due to Hunts Remedy

A Marvellous Memory.

Frank Bangs, tho well-known actor,
is the possessor OF very remarkable
visual memory. 1t is said that he men,
orizes his parts entirely by tho eye, and
remembers distinctly the exact position
of every word on the page. Of this
peculiar characteristic friend says:
have often heard that it was a com.
mon thing in the clubs to test Mr..
Bangs memory when he was more of u
rounder. He would stand with his back
turned while q number of gentlemen
emptied their pockets Of al eorts
things and laid them in confused hesp
on the table. There would be cards,
cigars. cigarettes, keys, money, knives,
buttons, toothpicks, eyeglasses, pencils,
and indeed odds and ends Of all sorts.
Bangs would wheel about and glance at
the mass, turn away again, and not only
tell how many of each Kind Of article
there was on the table, but would also
name the dates Of many of the coins and
the denominations OF the bills. Another
test was to put long row OF coins on a
table. The actor would run his eye
along them, and after turning away tell
their value just as they lay, and then
give them in reverse order. Somewhat
remarkable.

The Boarding House ACT.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania re-
Gently rendered decision of great impor-
tance TO boarding house keepers, lawyers,
Justices and the general public. The case
in which the opinion was delivered origin
ated in Allegheny county and was entitled
Smith vs.. McGlnty. The action was for
debt, the defendant having failed to pay
bill for boarding due the plaintiff, and
suit was instituted under what Is gencr.
ally known as the "boarding house act"
passed by the Legislature In 1875. The
justice before whom the case was oriai-
nally heard rendered judgment for tie
full amount of the bill. The matter was
appealed to the District Court, where the
JUSTICES decision was reversed. 1t was
then taken by the plaintiff to the Supreme
Court, and that tribunal sustained tho
opinion Of the District Court, the judges
holding that the act Of 1876 is unconstitu-
ti0nal and in conflict with other laws on
on the statute book, and that a debtor has
the same right to the benefit of the "threc
hundred dollar law' 10 an action to re-
cover board bill that he has in sult for
any other Kind of claim. This decision,
of course, 'knocks the bottom out OF the
law,' and keepers of Public Houses will
have to resort to some other means to pro-
tcct themselves.
