THE growing scarcity and rapidly
advancing price of broom-corn causes
much anxiety in localities where it is
manufactured into brushes and brooms.
Year before last the crop was immense
| and the prices were so low that it was
quickly bought up and used for a low
grade of goods. Last year growers
were timid and the acreage was small
Spectators got hold of the crop, while
the demand for manufactured goods
has increased and there is a large eX-
port trade, which is also increasing
rapidly.

Professor Reciam, the distinguished
German ~hyglenist, has opened a crusade
against the horror of night air and
draughts which is especially prevalent
among his coLntrymen. ~"Sleeping
with open windows" he says, sis most
unJustly decrled among the people, as
well as night air in general. But night
air is injurious only in swampy regions,
whereas in the upper stories of a house
1t is more salubrious than day air. "
"Dranghts," he adds, are not in
furious unless w are in a glow. To
healthy persons it cannot possibly do
as much harm as the stagnant air in a
close room The fear Of draughts is
quite groundless, though it affects most
people In a manner which is simply
ridiculous"
