SITES FOR

Ajournal of building has the following
to say in regard to sanitary points that
should be considered when selecting a
house or a site for a new one:
Remember that where the sun will shine
on the house for some hours a day one ele-
ment of good is secured, especially if the
sunshine enters at the windows of the liv-
ing rooms or rooms most used during the
daytime. If the ground is at all porous, a
layer of concrete not less than six inches
thick, and composed of cement or lime and
broken bricks or gravel, should be spread
over the whole of the ground covered by
the building. This will prevent the pass
age of ground air up through the floors.
Air will travel through the ground for
some distance. and as it invariably be-
comes contaminated by taking I'D carbonie
acid gas in its passage it is not suitable for
inhaling. The house acts as a sucker on
the ground, and if. unfortunately, the site
is on made" ground-that is, composed
of all the refuse of a town-the ground air
becomes the medium ofdisease. No house
should be built without a well ventilated
air space between the earth and the ground
floor, especially if the layer of concrete on
the surface is omitted. The walls should
be built of good hard burnt bricks or non-
porous stones set in lime or cement NOR
tar. Common under burnt bricks or por-
Gus stones hold moisture which evaporates
with the rise in temperature, and so chills
the air in the house.
The foundations of the walls should rest
on thick beds of concrete bedded in the
earth; and to prevent the ground damp ris-
ing up the walls, a damp proof course of
states in cement, or a bed of asphalt should
be laid in the full thickness or width of the
wall just above the ground line. Dryness
in this climate is SO essential to health that
any building which in its floors, walls, or
roof sins by admitting moisture, should be
rejected as a place of residence by those
who value their health.

WARMTH OF ALryINe ROOM.

The needs common to all women are SO
general that few regard their importance.
To say that warm rooms are essential to
health and beauty sounds like a truism, but
the fact is that among all well-to-do classes
it is the rarest thing to find a really warm
house. A heated house, burning up coal
and vitality together, is common, but not
one so soundly built that rooms do not
readily cool off, and where comfort is felt
with moderate heat, or where 6raughts do
not SOW rheumatic twinges, with wrinkles
to match. Out Of doors dress and exercise
keep up the natural heat. Indoors the
quieter life and shutting off the greater
part of the suns rays render the case diff.
ferent. The constant temperature of all
occupied rooms should be enough to keep
the blood at its normal heat of 9S degrees
without any chilling or ehange-say rs to
rs degrees by day and Is degrees lower
by night. Instead, when steam is up. OF
the furnace burns up, you will find the
glass at s. degrees on the north wall OF
rooms. Two hours more or less after the
heat goes down the thin walls lose their
heat Immediately, and it is As degrees in
the same place. | describe what | have
noted repeatedly in houses where comfort
was supposed to be the first consideration.
Such variations are enough to try the
strongest frames. To say nothing of neu-
ralgia and lung troubles, it is impossible to
keep a good complexion through such ruin
GUS changes of temperature. The heat
dries it into fine wrinkles. the cold sends the
blood inward, leaving the face blue and
pinched. Let the husband who wishes to
keep his wife in freshness be careful that
she has warm rooms to live in. The injury
to the circulation which destroys all bloom
and elasticity strikes deeper in time, caus-
ing failure of the heart or chronic infiamma-
tons. As you value bloom and long life,
never permit yourself to be chilly for five
minutes. No matter what thermometers
say, il you are out of order enough to feel
chilly the thing to do is to raise the heat
till the blood absorbs heat and grows warm
again. For heat is life, and the chilly pre-
cepts of certain hygienists who seem 10
consider comfort as a crime nave cost un-
suspecting victims their lives.

ORIGIN OF "ME,s ALL nrGHr..

This cry, like many another that was
afterward made popular, is said to have
originated as a term of derision for the
Prohibitionists and for St. John, the can
didate of that party for president in 1884.
1t had it's origin in the West, and in about
this way: Gov. st. John had been a Re-
publican party leader, as is well known,
and when he accepted the Prohibition NOM
nation for the presidency he was roundly
denounced by the Republicans. They
started the cry, "What is the matter with
st. John?''' The answer to this was,
"Ohl he's all right!' This was accom-
panied with a significant shake Of the
head, which was meant to imply that the
Democratic barrel had been tapped for st.
John, and that he was ~abundantly supplied
with lucre and liquid refreshments. The
Prohibitionist adopted the cry, and used
it during the canvass in 1884. When their
convention met at indianapolis i'll May last,
with more than 200 delegates and three
times that many of their party friends in
attendance, st. John was one of the strong
men, and he was made the permanent
chairman. At his first appearance upon
the crowded convention platform a chorus
of voices cried out: "What's the matter
with st. John?" The answering shout
from the multitude came like a tornado:
'He's all right!' and that was st. Johns
welcome by the Prohibitionists. baltimore

NERVE FOOD AND POISON.

One of the most popular devices of the
arch enemy is to make people believe they
need something for their nerves or stomach,
or some bodily disorder. Then if whisky
is the main ingredient they swallow it
down because it is medicine" Many of
the patent medicines are simply whisky
yelled under some bitter compound. That
gives the victim an idea he is getting
something very strengthening. The much
advertised 'Scotch Oats Essence" the
great nerve recuperator. is said, on analy-
sis, to be composed of a little t~incture of
oats with whisky and morphine. The
Chicago Tribune has a man looking up
these patent p%oisons, and gives the follow
ing as an instance:
An apothecary was asked the other day
for a small quantity of some sleep produc-
ing mixture. He handed over an ounce
bottle of a brownish solution which he
poured from a huge jar.
Harmless, l suppose?" the customer
said.
"Quite So" was the reply. 'sFifty
cents, if you please"
"Do you mind telling me just what the
prescription il 50"
Certainly not. have the formula here
in my book"-turning over the leaves rap
idly. eve keep it ready made in quaint
ties, because there is such frequent call for
it. Yes, / have it now: For each fluid
drachm, fifteen grains bromide of potas-
SUM, fifteen grains of chloral, one-eighth
Of a grain of hasheesh, and one eighth of q
grain of henbane.'"
'But these ingredients are all ~poisons."
"Yes, they are," admitted the apothe-
cary, reluctantly, "but so long as you
don't take too much of them they are not
dangerous"
Perhaps not. But this stuff-it is known
as "bromidia"-may be purchased by the
quart at any chemists, and the taste for
it once obtained, its victim soon becomes
a hopeless slave. Plenty of women, who
are regarded as hopeless invalids by their
unsuspecting friends are simply slaves to
the nerve food vice. There is a preparation
called auena satira, a drop or two of which
is an almost certain remedy [palliatiye1
for nervous headache. 1t is is exceedingly
powerful; yet there is a lady in Boston
who takes it by the pint. She would die
without it, she says, and it is very likely.
Women buy hogsheads of such stuff.
They even feed it to the babes.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

A late number of the Railroad Record
contained the following, which is a matter
of serious thought:
Glow OF earth do you manage 20 stand
up under the tremendous physical as we'll
as mental strain which you continually en-
dure?" a gentleman in our presence asked
young Joe Brown, the General Freight and
Passenger agent of the Western and At
lantic Railroad. "You seem to be close
at your business all day, and lam told you
scarcely ever quit before midnight. You
look slender, and like one of feeble consti-
tuition, yet you do more work than any
mar in your position, or any other that
know of. How do you stand i,?"
"By never doing any work on Sunday"
was the reply. "When twelve o'clock
Saturday night comes, I drop any business
that | may have in hand, and Idon't touch
it again before Monday morning. I never
open a telegram on Sunday; SO if any one
wires me a message which he knows will
reach me on that day, he may just as well
wait till Monday.
II think every business man ought to
sclupulously abstain from all business
matters on the Sabbath, first, because it is
required by the Bible, and, secondly, be-
cause if he does his duty on week days, he
needs the rest on that day. The first is
my principal reason, but the other is an
important one; and I always find that
although | may close the week very tired,
yet | begin it as fresh as a rose"

THE HOUSE FEY.

Some one has asked, where do flies go
in the winter? This is a question of some
interest, for a house fly is born fully
grown and Of mature size, and there are no
little flies of the same species, the small
ones occasionally observed being different
in kind from the large ones. The house
fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but
gathers its food by a comb or rake or brush
like tongue, with which it is able to scrape
the varnish from covers of books, and it
thus tickles the skin of persons upon
which it alights to feed upon the perspira-
ton. A fly is a scavenger and is a vehicle
by which contagious diseases are spread.
1t poisens wounds and may carry deadly
virus from decaying organic matter into
food. 1t retires from the sight at the be-
ginning of winter, but where it goes few
persons know. If a search of the house is
made they will be found in great numbers
secreted in warm places in the roof or be-
tween the partitions or floors. Last winter
we had occasion to examine a roof and
found around the chimney myriads of flies
alternating comfortably and sufficiently
lively to fy when disturbed Gin overpow-
ering clouds" No doubt this is a favor
lite winter resort for these creatures. - WI
