Ventilation of Sleeping Room,

No time could be better than the ores.
ent for beginning the practice Of house
vent: lation by the window, which is still
in the majority Of houses, the readiest
and the safest means of Obtaining a req.
ular and constant supply of fresh air.
This practice, begun in warm weather
may be carried on, with proper care.
through autumn and winter. The con.
stantly accommodating impurities derived
from breadth, from pe~rspiration, from
excreta of other kinds collected in sleep
ing rooms, from the use of gas or lamp
light, and too often even now FROM sue
ton of Sewage gas from waste pipes by
the heat Of house fires, ETC., render It
as necessary for health as for comfort
that these should have free egress, and
that they should be substituted by the
pure onter air. Fresh air from without
may very easily be had without draught.
and without risk of cold even to delicate
persons, if a few simple rules be OBJ
served. The cold air of winter of course
enters With greater force and in greater
proportional volume than the more
equable summer air into q warm room.
The aperature or egress must be CORE.
spondlngty diminished. Air from a
window is preferable TO that from
an opened inner door, no mat
ter how roomy the house. from its
more reliable purity. If the window
be the inlet, the fireplace, or it may be
the door of a room in summe acting as
an outlet, oil it may be opened from the
extent being regulated according to the
temperature. There is then a direct in.
ward current at the upper part, whic.

which require 10 be removed, and an
interrupted current at the middle, the

etlans for this YurpOs3 should be turned
upwards. A window should never 80
made to vontilate by opening it from
below, unless the open lower space be
Tiled up in some way, and ventilation
be carried on al the middle, where the
sashes join; otherwise, sdraughts are un-
avoidable. The ventilatipg zane is q
hardly less simple and equally efficient
and safe method with either of the 9TH
ers. Window ventilation is especially
usefulin bedrooms, and its efficiency or
otherwise cannot iall to affect the vital
powers of the occupant, who, in his
tlumbers, must trust to other energies
than his own for the removal Of those
impurities and morbid germs which his
every breath multiplies around him.
