Health Hints for Women.

AS nights grow cooler ali women who
are in the least rheumatic or chilly should
sleep in blanket wraps over the night
gown, preventing aches and colds caught
by tossing the arms over the head, as
well as the loss Of sleep that often comes
of disturbed circulation. People who use
their brains habi.ually, teachers, writers,
artists, must keep warm as the saving Of
their abilities. They must have fires
early, and use footwarmers by day and
night, and dress like Esquimaux if neces-
sary, or congestion Of the brain or lungs
is the penalty. The inflammation Of the
lungs which carried off George Eliot and
Mrs. Browning was descended from the
chllliness and poor circulation which
these brain workers had borne for years.
Care must lie taken, with all this heat
ing, to have a current of warm, fresh air
circulating in the rooms and 10 have it
healthily moist. Such precautions give
soft and lovely complexion, equal TO the
famous Newport bloom. The best way TO
secure this constant ventilation without
draft is by having the top Of the window
fitted with a perforated board, pierced by
many conical borings, only quarter as
wide at the center as at each surface OF
the hole. This gives a fine, forcible play
Of minute currents through the room in
stead of n dangerous large draught. II is
awoman'S invention, and n very clever one
for keeping rooms perfectly healthy and
fresh. II is n little remarkable that plain
American woman should have worked
out pkn Of cheap, efficient ventilation
on the same principles as The French in
vcntion which drew the applause of
scientific men years later.
To keep the mir moist the simplest way
is 10 kcp q pan Of water in the beat reg

towel hung with ends ia the water. CIV

DANGER In Wnter Filters.

A most astounding revelation has Gene
TO those who have been confidently trust
ing to appliances for purifying their
drinking water. II seems that tic
ordinary filter, instead Of rendering the
water pure and safe, Is actually the
means of producing just the opposite re-
suit. The Rhode Island Medical society,
through DIR. Swarts. shows that some
filters when first used do remove pro-
portion Of disease germs. But after be.
Ing in use only a few days there is
marked increase in the number OF col.
onies of germs in the filtered ms com.
pared with the unfiltered water. In one
instance the unfiltered water showed the
presence Of thirty-six colonies, while the
filtered contained the enormous number
Of 1000, 5000, 1900, and even more.
That is, the poison caught up by the
filter the first few days becomes the
source Of a vast multiplication Of the
dangerous element. So look TO your
precautions, and then be on your guard.
II you cannot constantly cleanse your
filters You had better destroy them

SOME NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Farmers may elect farmer-Gover-
nors, may make fine crops, may or
ganize, may petition, may hold meet
ings and pass high-soundiug resolu'
tions, may spend time and money IN
securing party ascendency, may live
hard and work hard and economic,
but until they shall go into our halls
of legislation, State and National, and
secure just and equitable laws that
will protect and foster their interests,
they will continue to travel a hard
road.
In our judgment there are some
questions that should have the atten-
ton of our people-farmers, business
men and taxpayers
l. A law for creating a Railroad
Commission for the regulation OF
tariffs and freights on u railroads.
2. A better and more equitable
system for working u public roads.
3. A law to prohibit the giving
away of our convict labor to private
parties or to corporations, and to work
that labor on our public roads.
4. To enlarge the jurisdiction OF
magistrates in minor causes, and to
curtail the enormous expense now at
tending litigation.
5. To make our homestead law a
blessing and not a curse to the poor
people of the State. To give them a
homestead indeed and in fact instead
Of one merely in name. To make it a
blessed reality instead of shadow and
a farce.
6. To prohibit any legislator, judi
cial Or other public officer, or editor,
from accepting free passes on railroads.
Z. To foster and encourage diversi-
fed industry among our people. But
how are the industrial and business
classes to obtain legislation favorable
to their interests ?? By going to the
primary meetings of the political par
ties and select delegates to the County
and State Conventions who are iden-
titled with them in interest and will
see to it that no mar is nominated for
the legislature who will not stand
squarely and firmly in advocacy OF
such measures, a. are favorable tc
