am glad that the old idea that it is
healthful to sleep in cold rooms is be-
coming obsolete. Cold air is not nee
essarily pure air. If there is no fire in
the sleeping room, we must secure what
warmth we can by sealing up the room
as nearly Theoretically as possible, and
then piling on the bed-clothes. OF
course the air in such a room must nee
essarily be very impure before morning.
An open fire is the best possible ven
tilatOr, but if that is not possible, q
stove is the next best thing. 1t is not nee
essary to keep fro in sleeping room
all day, but have one started at night,
and then let it go out in the morning as
soon as the chamber work is done.
With fire in the room the windows
can be opened, when you retire, enough
to secure pure air, and each one can
make his toilet in his own room, instead
of all rushing half dressed to the kitchen
to wash and comb there, which is not
an especially desirable accompaniment
to the cooking of breakfast.
Save in blankets and cOmfOrters, save
by less elaborate and more digestible
cooking, but do not try to save by sleep
ing in a cold room. We need the
warmth of fire more at night, when
sleeping, than at any other time, fol-
then the vitality of the body is lower.
Nearly one third of all our lives is
passed in our sleeping rooms, and yet
many people seem to think that any
room is good enough to intended as
medicine, to cool and thin the blood
which has become thick and carbOniZeC
during the cold weather, when the
carbOns are particularly used.

The Obelisk Going to Pieces.


Professor r. Ogden Doremus of New
York says that the Egyptian obelisk in
Central park is slowly disintegrating
under the influence OF the climate. Par
ticles of the stone are constantly falling,
and can be gathered by the handful at
the base at any time. The disintegra-
ton is more rapid in the winter than in
other seasons. Professor DOremus
thinks that under present conditions the
characters upon the obelisll will be OBJ
liberated within 500 years, though they
have withstood the climate of Egypt
4, 600 years. He suggests that stones
which are thus seriously affected by our
climate could be made more durable by
being treated with paraffine, which
would not change the stone except to
brighten it and make it proof against
the weather.

Washington Fuel in 1884.

Fifty years ago the only fuel at
Washington was wood-maple, oak,
walnut, or pine, brought in by the
neighboring farmers. Making a fire
was an art, as it would never do to let
the fire get behind the backlog, and
good housewives prided themselves on
their clean hearths. All the cooking
was done before huge wood fires, with
masses of live Goals, to be heaped on the
cover of the Dutch oven, or to glow be-
meath the gridiron. Then came the
fuel-saving cast-iron stoves, Franklin
having invented one which bore his
name for parlor use The first kitchen
stoves were known as the template
stoves. Another variety had a small
fire-box near the hearth, from which
rose two sections oe stOvepipe, which
supported at height of about three and
a half feet from the floor a round oven,
looking somewhat like gigantic bit of
stovepipe laid croSswise. Those stoves
were famous bakers, and so endeared
themselves to the hearts of wOmankind.
There was a stove which turned with
a crank; that is to say, the top turned,
and if you wanted to bring a particular
kettle over the fire all you had to do was
to turn the crank until the top of the
stove, working on a gear, brought the
kettle to the required spot. There was
another stove, in some respects the most
remarkable of all, which had little doors
along t;.e side When a kettle of water
was to be boiled, the kettle was placed
upon a bench by the side of the stove,
and crooked pipe, running from one of
the little doors in the stove to the water
in the kettle, carried sufficient heat to
boil to the water All of the above were
wood burning stoves, and they gradu-
ally disappeared as coal came into use.

More Politics.

There was large and enthusiastic
open-air meeting held at the Armory
yesterday, at which Mr.. J. NJ. Poepoe
spoke with great force and effect on the
political issues of the day. He held the
attention of his audience for two hours,
and dealt many telling blows to the
Opposition. His speech was interrupted
by heavy shower, when Messrs. ]. o.
Carter and Henry Warehouse attempted
to reply to him, but the natives would
not listen to them. In the evening Mr..
Poepoe addressed another large meeting
at the corner of Nuuanu and Merchant
streets. His arraignment of the Opposi-
ton candidates and party is strong and
convincing. He advises his hearers to
vote the National ticket.

condiments and Ind,g..,,on.

w. 81 Williams IN Popular Science Monthly.l
Cayenne pepper may be selected as
typical example of a condiment property
so called. Mustard is a food and con
diment combined; this is the case with
some others. Curry-powders are mix
lures of very potent condiments with
more or less farinaeeoUs materials. and
sulphur compounds, which. like the oil
of mustard, of onions, garlic. ETC., may
have a certain amount of nutritive
value.
The mere condimenU is a stimulating
drug that does les work directly upon
the inner lining of the stomach, by ex-
citing it TO increased abnormal activity.
a dyspeptic may obtain immediate re-
lief by using cayenne pepper Among
the advertised patent medicines is pill
bearing the very ominous name of its
compounder, the active constituent of
which is cayenne. Great relief and
temporary comfort are commonly OBJ
tanned by using it as a ''dinner-pill." If
thus used only as temporary remedy for
an acute and temporary, or exceptional,
attack of Indigestion, all is well, but the
cayenne, whether taken in pills or
busted over the food or steWed with it
in curries or any otherwise, is one of the
most cruel of slow poiSons when taken
habitually. Thousands of poor wretches
are crawling miserably toward their
graves, the victims of the multitude of
maladies of both mind and body that
are connected with chronic, incurable
dyspepsia, all brought about by the
habitual use of cayenne and its cOndi-
mental cousins.
The usual history of these victims is
that they began by overlooking. took the
condiment to force the stomach to do
more than its healthful amount of work,
using but little at first. Then the stOm
ach became tolerant of this little, and
demanded more; then more, and more,
and more, until at last inflammation, ulcer
alton, torpidity, and finally the death of
the digestive powers, accompanied with
all that long train of miseries to which
| have referred.

A New Bag gage Check.
,
lChicago Times.

A new baggage check has been per
fected and been adopted by several
western railroads. 1t consists of a
rather large brass shell, with trap at
tachment, the shell holding four
coupons folded on each othec. The
first coupon is to be filled out to the
passenger, the second to the agent, the
third acts as a way-bill, and the fourth
goes with the shell, and contains the
number of train, time and date re-
ceived, and the name and address of
owner. The coupons are intended to
take the place of all reports of baggage
forwarded, received, and delivered, and
excess baggage and storage blanks
thereby reducing expense and economi =
ing labor.
