What Foreigner Says of the United
SiatfE.

Prof II. Z. Spice, president OF the So
ciety Of Engineers, of London, and very
intelligent and practical Englishman, who
has been travelling over the United States,
looking at things with practical eye, re-
turned to New York last week and was
visited by reporter who asked his opinion
on q great many subjects. Some of his
views are interesting. Chicago, he says,
is wonderful in its trade, but seems to be u
CITY of gambling and corners" OF the
MOrmOns and their capital he says: Il
wonder how they get immigrants as they
do; but / think their faith will kill itself
and be crushed out by the younger gener-
alton. The sanitary arrangements ar, real
ly abominable, although everything is ex-
ternally clean, and il few years the city
will become hot-bed of fevers." At San
Francisco his attention was called TO 'the
shockingly bad pavements of all the cities
here, beginning at New York. It
is not merely dirt, but the charac-
ter Of the paving. In London
we have used wood sue
cessfully, because it is laid
in concrete; but in Chicago they were lay
ing wood in sand, which is simply foolish. :"
Of British and American agriculture, he
SAYS: I'VE have had five bad seasons III
England, and the sixth or last was also made
unfeyorable by the rain. There was rs e.x-
cassive dampness here. while in England
the weather has bafled agriculture.
found the cost of sending bushel of wheat
from ST. Louis 20 cents and II from Chi
cago. Ii the English farmer paid only a
p 3nnd year rent he could not compete
with American farming. Well do peo-
pie in England regard coming to America
as they Go transportation; but if they don't
do this there is nothing left bat starvation. >
His views on the subject Of the electric
light are novel: "The more the electric
light is improved the more gas property will
thrive, The electric light is not to be de.
pended on and is inapp4icable to most in
teriors and streets. 1t can be used for spe
cial outsides or insides, as squ@res, or large
rooms like the composing room ofthe Lon
don Times. These are excepdonable uses
which will only increase the use of gas.
People won't 60 from very light squares or
other places into dark or feebly-ligi ted
streets; and therefore the number ard force
of gas lets must he increased.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Farm and
Garden has tried several ways of keep
ing potatoes duringtEe winter, and finds
that they keep best by being put in dust.
In the summer when the dust is very
dry he takes as many barrels OF boxes
as he may want to I'LL with potatoes and
flIs them with road dust and puts them
agay in q dry place to keep until he
digs his potatoes. He prefers digging
before frost. He digs them and lets
them dry in the sun; then they are
stored away In q cool place: they are
spread singly over the floor 50 as not to
heat or sweat. When cold weather sets
in they are taken and stored in the eel.

Ventilation of Sleeping Rooms

No tins could be better than the pres
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 reg
ular and constant supply of fresh air.
This practice, begun III warm weather
may be carried on, with proper care,
through autumn and winters The con-
stanty accrenulating impurities derived
from breadth, from perspiration, 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 1t
as necessary for health az for comfort
that these saauld have free egress, and
that they should be subsl tated by the
pure outer air. FRESH air from without
NAV very easily be had wi bout drauIht,
and without risk of cold even 10 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
eoua1e summer air into warm room
The aperture or egress must be CORE
spondlng.y diminished. Air from q
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 fire place, or it may be
the door OF room in summer acting as
an outlet, oil it may be opened from the
extent being regulated according to the
Temperature. There is then direct IN
ward current at the upper part, whic.
follows I. , roof OF the room, thus ming
ling with INV heated waste products
which require TO be removed, and an
interrupted current at the middle, the
previous lire Of junction OF tle upper
and lower sashes, both are broken and
ditfused by the plinds or curtains. Ven
etians for this yurposs should be turned
upwards. A window should never be
made TO ventilate by opening Il from
below, unless the Open lower space be
filled up in some way, and ventilation
be carried on at the middle. whore the
sashes join; otherwise, draughts are uB-
avoidable. Tie veutilatipg sane is a
hardly less simple and equally efficient
and safe method with either Of tue 9TH

usefulia bedrooms, and its efficiency or
otherwise cannot iall to affect the vital
powers Of the occupant, who, in b S
Numbers, must trust TO other energies
than his own fer the removal OF those
impurities and morbid germs which his
every breath multipfieS around him.
