Ventilation.

To ensure a happy home we need to
have a healthy one, and while trust |
am not a crank on the subject of venti-
lation, i am firm believer in the vir-
tues of fresh air. In the very cold
winters, when the thermometer is con-
stantly below freezing and frequently
reaches zero, or when the winds are
keen and biting, there may be some
excuse for keeping the cellars closed
day after day. But with such a winter
country there has hardly been a day
when the covers of cellar gratings
might not have been lifted for few
hours. And upstairs and downstairs,
all through the house, windows ought
to be opened more or less every day.
We had troop of brothers and sisters
at home when | was child, and on
cold days we were turned out of one
room into another, if necessary, so that
each room of the house should have its
share of fresh air. In the bedrooms
let the doors of clothes-closets and
wardrobes be open for few hours each
day, so that the air can get at the con-
tents. AT night let at least one window
in each room be opened. To prevent
draught lift the lower sash four inches
and place board underneath the lifted
sash to extend the whole length of the
sash. BY means of small support let
the board slope towards the interior of
the room at the top; thus very little air
will enter under the sash, but more
between the two sashes. Many persons
rise in the morning complaining that
they do not feel refreshed by their
sleep. This is often because they fail
to secure ventilation during their slum-
Der. Many a child is restless all night
because it cannot get good air to breathe.
DR.. Austin Flint says that through fear
sick people should catch cold, sick
rooms are poorly ventilated, and pa
tients are oppressed by a superabund-
ance of garments and bed-clothes.
The air which patients are made to
breathe, having been already breathed
and re-breathed, is loaded with pulmo-
nary eXhaations. Cutaneous emana-
tons are allowed TO remain in contact
with the body, as well as to pervade
the atmosphere. Free exposure of the
more so bathing or sponging, the entire
surface of the body being exposed.
Patients not confined to the bed, espe-
cially those affected with pulmonary
diseases, are overloaded with clothing,
which becomes saturated with perspira-
ton, and is seldom changed, for fear
of the dreaded cold'n " Let the re-
storative influence of cool, fresh, pure
atmosphere be inculcated," he adds

People of One Talent.

tits not too much to say, perhaps, that
the great majority of people possessed
but one talent during the first ten years
of their lives. And it would be inter-
esting to know how many who began
life with one talent have continued to
possess it without increase. We be-
lieve that very large percentage of
that number have been contented to
keep their talent wrapped up in their
thick napkin. In other words, they
have not used their gift, simply be-
cause it was only one talent. They
have been ashamed of it. People are
never ashamed of possessing ten talents
nor even five. They are very proud of
them often times. But, if we have only
one talent, we ought to be very thank
full for it, because it is the gift of God.
But for his almighty power and gra-
cious condescension, we would not have
even one talent. And we are under
Just as great an obligation to use one
talent as we would be if we had five or
ten. God holds the person of one tai
ent just as responsible for its proper use
as he does the man who has ten. Every
one is responsible for what he possesses,
be it little or much. And. more than
this, he is responsible for the possibili-
ties which may be the outgrowth and
increase of what was originally given
him. Hence, upon him to whom one
talent has been given there devolves
the obligation to so use that talent that
it shall increase into the proportions of
two, three, and even five talents, if
such an attainment lie within his
power. And with Gods blessing, such
possibility may be realized. Yet there
must be- fertile discipline and mastery
perseverance on the part of the indi-
vidual if he would multiply his talent
two and three fold. Such realization,
however, does not come in a few months.
1t requires years of trial and careful
painstaking and strenuous toll. The per-
son of one talent who has done little or
nothing to increase his ability, often
expresses the wish that he might pos
sess the talents of another, whose sue
cess is the admiration of brethren. But
he does not stop to think, perhaps, of
the keen struggles and blstering hard
ships and humiliating failures and ex-
hausting sacrifices which his brother
has been subjected to in order to gain
the talents which he, at last, is in pos
session of. He began with what APP
peared to be, and indeed was, but one
talent; but he put it to splendid use, and
his faithfulness was crowned with grand
triumph. There is plenty of encour-
agement for one-talented people. Re

Civilization and Imitation.

The women and children of good
Arab families were in old times never
allowed to wear imitation iewelry,
whether of stones or metal: the i'll
creasing taste for French civilization is,
however, fast breaking down such
prejudices. Fine ancient designs. es-
pecially of necklets, are now repeated
in brass and sent out in hundreds from
Damascus. The most useful pattern is
one formed of two rows of hanging fish
the shapes much degraded by repeti-
ton; this on a dark skin is very effect
i've, and has besides the advantage of
being a powerful charm. Most neck
ornaments have hanging pendants, fol-
lowing Egyptian precedents. One very
decorative design is composed of chains
formed of fiat rings; the first chain
fastens tight round the throat, while
the others descend in increasing lengths
almost to the knee; this is most favor
its pattern for wedding feasts. The
flashing lights give almost the effect
of chain armor. The price is compare
lively extremely moderate. Small fish
necklaces can be bought for five francs.
Specimens of brass bracelets are much
sought after by artists for their quaint
designs. The whole female population
of Tlemben (Oran) delights in display
ing in their ears cluster of large hoop
rings, made with scrpents' heads bright
ened by colored glass eyes or dab of
rough enamel. Even babies in arms
wear these hoops, though their little
ears are torn and distorted by the
weight, the metal being cheap, and the
native vendor giving good measure. To
relieve the ears these rings are gener-
ally looped up to chain which is fas-
tened on the top of the red peaked cap
they all wear. Some of the chains used
for looping up the earrings are very
good leaf-patterns, doubtless copied
from old designs. Necklaces of brass
coins stamped in imitation of real ones,
mixed with glass beads, are also worn,
but they are not so artistic as the neck
laces worn by some of the inferior castles
in India, which are made of thin sheet
brass, cut into the form of leaves and
ornamented by a system of dots.-Mdgd-
