It is sometimes difficult matter to
ventilate bedrooms properly. Opening
window often causes n draught that
may be more injurious than air less
pure. A very simple ventilator, which
allows free current of air without pro-
ducing draught, may be made by any
one. Have piece of inch board, four
inches or more in width, cut to fit the
window casing. 1t should be long
enough to preclude any draught enter
ing on either side. Raise the window
and rest it on the top of the board SO
that no air may pass between the sash
and the board. A free current of air

Governmental McddiinE, and What
Came Of il.

Tariffs of rates have, however,
been established without discrimination,
but their workings have shown that
they were established with as little dis
erection as discernment. An illustration
of such q case is afforded by the expert
ence of Germany, the history of which
is given in the testimony before the
committee on fares and rates of the Par
lament of Great Britain. The Govern
ment, in conformity with its military
spirit, which admits of only unquestion-
ing obedience to arbitrary order, en-
forced on the railways uniform and UNI
varying system of charges. Having
fixed the tariffs in its own country at
rates which to it were satisfactory, it
adopted the principle that no through
OF these local charges. Thus traffic, for
instance, between Belgium, or Holland
and Austria. might be brought up to
the German frontier ut whatever rate
those states chose to fix, but, immedi-
ately upon entering on German terri
tory, the local tariffs should apply. AS
a result, the through traffic was driven
from the railroads to the rivers, and ex-
ports from Austria found their way to
the sea on the Elbe and the Rhine. After
the enforcement of the policy had "ut-
terly destroyed" this through traffic on
the German Railways, the administra-
ton decided to profit by the experience
to abandon their unnatural policy, and
attempt to get back the traffic. Ac-
cordingly, they issued n tariff, which is
instructive as showing how completely
they gave up their artificial system and
recognized in railway rates the natural
forces controlling commerce. The head
ing of the tariff reads, Exceptional
tariff to and from the German seaports,
for goods traffic between Hamburg,
Harburg, Bremerhaven, Gcestemude,
Bremen, and Regensburg, and Passau
stations. To come in force on and from
March 1, 1882. This tariff will apply
only to goods traversing Germany and
passing beyond Regensburg and Passau,
and out of the district of the German
CUSTOMS. and in consignments of ten
tons per truck and above (wood ex-
cepted). Smaller consignments will be
charged at usual rates. Articles includ-
ed in the exceptional tariff" 1t then
continues TO cnumerate articles under
seven especial tariffs" The testimony
before the commission on this subject
concludes as follows: "Now that shows
that the strongest government in the
world, l suppose, can not interfere with
the, course of traffic except ut its peril,
and, if they attempt to impose upon the
commerce of the country an impossible
system, they come to grief.-Gerrit Il.
Lansing, in Popular Science Monthly

PHYSICIANS HAVE FOUND OUT

That communicating and foreign element
in the blood developed by indigestion, is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon The
sensitive sub.cutaneons covering of the mus.
cles and ligaments of the joints, causing con-
slant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a
calcareous, chalky deposit which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. No
fact, which experience has demonstrated in
regard to Hostetter's Stomach Btters, has
stronger evidence to support than this,
namely, that the formidable and atrocious,
disease, nor is it less positively established
that it is preferable to the poisons often used
to arrest IT, since the medicine contains only

How wild Beast Tanner ssbdues Oh

Mr.. Ranspach, tanner OF wild beasts

The lion touched with the electric wand

the touch more calmly. appeared fright

The bear was quite insensible to the

touched he became para1yzcd and re-.
NAMED six hours without moving. after
which he appeared little better. but re-
NAMED three days in state Of scmi-tor-

the end Of his trunk made great noise
and became so furious that the tanner
thought he would break the bars Of his
cage. The tanner left, and SO terminated
