Circulation of the Air.

Without the atmospheric ocean in
which our globe is immersed, orr aor'd
would be as dead as the moon. Vet
into it are continually pouring car onie
acid from billions on Billions of human
and bestial lungs, still more hGstful
etliuvia from as many bodies miasma
and malaria from thousands o. square
miles of deeaying vegetable matter the
poisons of disease and pestileace The
world over, and the gases given OF 10y
the decomposing dead Of man and
brute.
SO vast is this ocean, AID SO RAPIDLY
does it take up and scatter these noX-
ious elements through its measureless
masses, and so much of them IS appro-
priated as food by the vegetable world
that the air, as whole, MAY he regard
ed as particularly pure. The result is
due, in the main, to the circulation Of
the air, mighty elevated currents OF
which flow from the heated tfopics
toward the north; while counter cur
rents from the Arctic regions
flow beneath to fill the vacuum. Be
sides these, are every variety Of local
currents, from sea to land and from
land to sea, and between colder and
warmer areas. Without this circula-
ton, the air of our cities and towns es-
pecially would DO loaded with poison.
But every house is little world, with
its air in perpetual circulation, between
the warmer and the colder parts, the
inside and outside, the cellar and attic,
the bedroom, the parlor and the
kitchen. Closed doors do not prevent
this circulation.
Hence the need of thorough system
of ventilation. Variations in the at
mospheric pressure cause even the mi
asma in the soil for a large distance
around the house to be drawn or
driven into the cellar, thence to be
diffused into the rooms generally. The
vitiated air of sleeping-roomsand water
closets, carried into the halls aud there
chilled, may sink into the halls and
rooms below.
In tenement houses, houses with
"hats, and in family hotels, without
adequate ventilation, each fasaily is at
the mercy Of every other for purity Of
. air. Youtt'S COMPANION.

Disraeli and Wines.

SLOW do you manage to keep so
healthy?" he was asked by dyspeptic
fop. "By dining off sardine, was the
answer, and there was some truth in
this. To the end of his life Disraeli al
ways ate very sparingly when alone,
and this enabled him to keep a good
appetite for public occasions thereby
rebutting the presumption, which his
pale face suggested, that he was con-
sumptive. In this connection some re-
marks of his about wine may be men
toned Hard drinking was in fashion
during his youth, and at public dinners
men who let the bottle pass were hard
ly regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli,
who could never stand much wine, suf-
fered good deal from the social usage,
and he set himself to study the demean-
or of men who could drink deep with
out being any the worse for it. Lord
Melbourne was one of these, and he
gave Disraeli wrinkle by saying:
"You can drink if you don't talk; if
, you talk much you needn't drink, for
people will think you are drunk and let
you alone" 1t is obvious that the ex-
citement of conversation must cooper
ate powerfully with the fumes of wine
in making the brain reel Disraei,
having noted this fact, went further in
to the subject by observing that mans
conyivial propensities are always taken
for granted if he talks in praise of wine
and appears to be very critical about
it. Some of his remarks savoring of
the most refined epicureanism may
therefore be described solely to his
temperate desire to find excuses for
drinking. He was not Judge of wines,
though he pretended to be, and once al
lowed himself to lay down the law
about Burgundy against the late Lord
Seton. A droll trait in him was that
he spoke enthusiastically about certain
choice wines, but he never decried any
sort of liquor, even gin. A reason he
once gave for Saying something kind"
about brandy in the presence of per-
son addicted to spirits would have had
Mephistophelean ring if the subject
of the observation had not been, hui
namely speaking, irreclaimable: II

service is the arrangement by which
those coming TO FL Paso over the Santa
Ee make almost Immediate connection
with the Mexican trains, while by other
routes the traveller suffers a DELAY OF
some fifteen hours. Perhaps this was
an accident, and, perhaps it wasn't. al
all events, the average tourist will take
the quickest and most convenient route.
The Santa Fe trains run from Kansas
City to Ell Paso without change of ears
of any kind, so that the companies have
practically a through route from the
Missouri river to the city of Mexico.
One of the pleasantest things about a
trip along this route is the entire alb
sence of danger from the diseases incl
dent to a journey on the low lands, for
the Mexican Central's entire course is
on the great plateau from five to seven
thousand feet above the sea-level.
The summer climate, on account of
the elevation, is simply magnificent,
and will always hold for this route the
favor of the public, while its American
compadre, the Santa Fe. will open the
eyes of the eastern tourist with their
grand hotel at the LasVegas hot springs,
now being rebuilt on grander scale
than before, with the ancient city OF
Santa Fe and the vine-clad valley of the
Rio Grande.

as the place and August %, as the day
on which the annual reunion of the Iron
Brigade will be held. 1t now devolves
upon the citizens of Lancaster to make
the meeting of these old veterans as

The fact that four of the companies
comprising that famous brigade were

City OF Mexico.

The Mexican Central trains are now
running from Ell Paso to the City OF
Mexico on schedule time of fifty-eight
hours. This is decided improvement I
over the old stage couch trip of two

cents, is also an improvement over the
old time when it cost fortune to visit
