ciety of Christian Endeavor met at the
residence of Mr.. Fred Phelps last Thurs
day night, and enjoyed a very pleasant
evening. Such is the skill of some of
the amateur artists of this society in
taking pictures that we fear our ptoiog-

professional jealousy. This society
applies the proceeds of these sociables

BRIGHT IDEAS. 1T was bright
idea when Columbus became convinced
of the existence of the continent of
America. 1t was bright idea when
George Washington was made the first
President of the United States. 1t was
a bright idea when Watt discovered the
power Of steam. 1t was bright idea
when Edison discovered the telephone,
and the discovery of the electric light
was still brighter idea. The estab-
lshment of trades unions was the result
of a bright idea. The abolishing of
slavery in the Southern States was a
bright idea and so was the introduction
of the Thirteenth Amendment. 1t was
bright idea 10 emigrate to the Western
States. And it was a brilliant idea
when N. X. Fairbank & Co. discovered
the method of making their famous
brands OF Lakeside and ..White STAR
perfumed family soaps. whereby they
arc unequaled for the toilet, the bath
and the laundry No household should
be without them, as they can be obtained
at all grocery stores. BE sure and ask
for these particular brands and use 20
others. 40m4

SPELLING.

No branch requires more careful and skillflll
work in its teaching than spelling and with all
really good spelling book is not easily selected
Long lists OF words, many of which are incom.
prehensible to both teacher and pupil. abound
and are learned only at the expense OF consider
able time and effort to be soon forgotten, since
not one pupil in fifty will have occasion to use
many of these words outside the school room
Neither do many of the books give any idea OF
their meanings word without meaning is
useless.
Considerable time can and ought to be saved
by selecting such words and lessons only as are
within the comprehension of the learner. The
teachers ingenuity may probably be taxed in
deyising methods by which spelling classes can
be Kept interested. just as soon as symptoms
of monotony appear. change your plan. Interest
and vim are the life Of spelling exercises.

The "GRAND HOTEL OPENING.
AS per announcement, the opening of
Mr.. Henry Horstman's new hotel in
this city occurred last Wednesday
evening, the 18th inst. A sumptuous
supper was served from seven to ten
o'clock in the evening, when the dining
room was cleared, and the company
enjoyed themselves dancing until the
small hours of morning, Wagner's
orchestra, Of Dubuque, furnished ex-
cellent music. Nearly two hundred
guests participated in the festivities,
among whom were most of the profess
sional and business men of the city,
accompanied by their wives. The
members of Mississippi Lodge, No. Sc,
|. o. o. f.. of this city took advantage
OF the occasion to present Hon. Geo.
w. Ryland with very elegant gold
headed, ebony cane. Everything dur
ing the evening passed off pleasantly,
and we congratulate Mr. Horstman on
the suspicious opening of his elegant
hotel, which is credit to this city and
to the state.

Ventilation.

l. two persons nre tooccupy sleeping
room together for night, let them be
weighed upon retiring, and then again
in the morning, and they will find that
the actual weight is al least one pound
less in the morning. Frequently there
will be loss Of two or more pounds,
and the average loss throughout the year
will be more than pound That is,
during the night there is a loss Of a
pound of matter which has gone off
from the body, partly through the lungs
ard partly through the pores in the skin.
The escaped material is carbonic acid
gas aud decayed animal matter, or pois.
onous exhalations. This is din'used
through the air in pars, and in part ab.
sorbed by the bed. clothes. If single
ounce of wood or cotton be burned In n
room, it will 40 completely saturate the
air with smoke that one can hardly
breathe, though there can : but on
ounce Of foreign matter in tie air. II
an ounce Of cotton be burned every half
hour during the night, the air will be
continuously saturated with smoke un.
less there is an outlet for it, Now tho
sixteen ounces Of smoke thus formed are
far less dangerous or poisonous than the
sixteen ounces Of exhalations from the

eight hours Of sleeping, for while the
