The issues OF this canvass were not OF "A
description to make the contest particularly
heated one. Cleyeland's administration and
nfhe Mills bill (" were the chief objects OF
assault by the Republicans, and growing out
NJ the latter there was great discussion as to
tariff-high, low, and middling. With few
executions there was but little OF "dirt-
throwing" In this respect the campaign
was very much cleaner than most OF its re-
cent predecessors. In Virginia the strug-

In this way they were able to deceive and
capture some white voters.

Health Hints for Women.

As nights grow cooler all women who
are in tho least rheumatic or chilly should
sleep in blanket wraps over the night
gown. preventing aches and colds caught
by tossing the arms over tine head. as
well as the loss Of sleep THAT often comes
Of disturbed circulation. People who use
their brains habitually. teachers. writers,
artists. must keep warm as the saving q
their abilities. They must have fires
early, and use foOtwmmers BY day and
night. add dress like Esquimaux if neses-
sary, or congestion Of the brain OF lungs
IS the penalty. The inflammation Of the
lungs which carried OF George Eliot and
Mrs. Browning was descc-d:d from the
chillinoss and POOR circulation which
these brain workers had borne for years.
Care must bc taken, with all this heat
ing, 70 have current of warm, fresh air
Circulating in the rooms and to have it
healtlily moist. Such precautions give
soft and lovely complexion. equal to the
famous Newport bloom. The best way to
secure this consiant ventilation without
draft is by having the top of the window
fitted with perforated board, pierced by
many conical bN-ings, only quarter as
wide at the center as ct each surface OF
the hole. This gives fine, forcible play
Of minute currents through the room in
stead Of a dangerous large draught. 1t Is
a woman's invention, and a very clever one
for keeping rooms perfectly healthy and
fresh. 1t is little remarkable that plain
American woman should have worked
out n plan Of cheap, efficient ventilation
on the same principles as the French in
vention which drew the applause OF
scientific men Years later.
To keep the air moist the simplest way
is to keep a pan of water in the heat reg
lister, with large sponge in it, or wet
towel hung with ends in the water. Civ
ing off moisture to the air which floats
over it. Pans of water alone do very
little good, though better than nothing.
The moisture must be directly in the
path Of the air to he absorbed by it. The
water cans for stoves should be large
enough TO cover the whole top and he
kept clean and full Of fresh water. Such
water pans purify the air as well as keep
II moist, as they absorb impurity. \
little inter, iodine and salt in the water Is
very Strengthening TO breathe, having a
mild effect of sea air.-ShirleY Dare S
