WARM ROOMS IN WINTER.

A warm house is an excellent thing
in the winter. So are warm sleeping
rooms, despite the old prejudice some
still hold against Them. There is noth-
ing health-giving in children shivering
half the night in cold beds trying to
get warm. Many delicate little one
has gone to its grave by such a hard
ening process. No doubt one great
cause for the increased longevity of the
race in our lands is because of our
warmer houses in the winter. My
children have slept in well-warmed
rooms all their lives. and are never un-
der the doctors care; often for half
dozen years at time, never had to con-
suit one, an uncommon thing among
village children of my acquaintance.
Depend upon it, there is fallacy in this
theory of toughening children and
hardening their constitutions by ex-
posure to cold. DIR. William Hall says
he would as soon think of improving
a new hat by banging it around. The
only way to harden the constitution is
by taking good care of it,
Well warmed sleeping rooms in win
ter are a blessing indeed, and stove
i'll all upper hall can often secure this.
But the rooms should also be well
aired some time during the day, and
all the blessed sunshine of the short
winter day let in somewhere.

CHOLERA.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
The present cholera agitation recalls
to the mind Of the writer little book
which he found in the Congressional
Library at Washington. 1t was mar
rative of the experiences OF all English b
army surgeon in the east. One chapter
was devoted to great cholera epidemic
n Constantinople. There was all i'm
mense hospital. which was divided into
two wards. In one of these wards the
latest treatment prescribed by English
medical science was administered, and
in the other the tatalism of the Turks
was given full sway, patients being
handed a glass of water with slip Of
the Koran in it, and then left to re-
cover or to die as the case might be.
The choice between these two systems
was given to each person brought to
the hospital. The author states at the
end of the epidemic it was found that
the percentage of deaths was no great.
er in the Turkish than in the English
ward. There is lesson to be derived
from this which is not apparent on the
face, and it is not one of condemnation
of English allopathy on the one hand
or praise of Turkish nopathy OIL the
other. The Turks who recovered were
probably those who supplied the lack
of medicine with nerve and determin-
alton, backed by belief that their
time had not come. The English who
died in spite of their treatment were
probably, in many cases, those who
helped the disease with their own panic
fear.

view areequestions outside the real is

power of his money was invincib1e and
that he could buy legislators like cattle.
is the real point gained. That over
shadows all other considerations and
for that repub leans are entitled TO re-
ceive credit.
Probably Mr.. Evarts will find his
greatest drawback as Senator in his
lack of earnest conviction. He is a
cold, calculating lawyer, who pleads
the cause in which he is retained. He
argued in the olden times both for and
against slavery. He was the counsel of
Andrew Jackson in the impeachment
trial. He was the advocate of the elec-
toral fraud and accepted seat in
Hayes cabinet. He aided the defeat of
Folger in 1882. He was the earnest
friend of Blaine in 1884.
Mr.. Evarts will be the ablest of the
counsel OF the great railroad corpora
tions in the Senate. 1t was a feature of
the canvass for the nomination that the
Albany lobby was divided. The dis
tinctive lobby was for Evarts; the gen.
eral lobbyists were for Morton.

When civil service reform has been

that great public issues cannot be
thrust aside by the contentious of mer-

who thrive when adroit management

harm, he thinks by leading people to
neglect the far more important meas

air, which sweeps away the germs.
Many antiseptics and deodorizers are
valueless for the construction of germs.
For this purpose he recommends pure
liquor of the chlorinate of soda.
