OXYGEN STARVATION.
Points to BE Considered In the Choice OF
Dwelling House.


Dwelling House.
If we are ask ed which of the MANY
necessares of life is best entitled to the
chief place We must surely reply, oxy-
gen. This gas forms about one-fifth
IT the bulk of the atmosphere, and our
wants are supplied by the net of breath
ing. so regularly and ceaselessly per-
formed by every one. 1t is possible to
live for long time without the pro-
lection of a house or of clothing; it is
even possible to live for many DAYS
without food; but if we are deprived
for only one or two minutes of oxygen.
the consequences are serious, and may
be fatal. This is perhaps one reason
why, of all things that our bodies re-
quire, oxygen is the only one the regu-
lar supply of which does not depend
upon our own attention. The pangs of
hunger and thirst warn us when food
and drink are necessary, but they can
only be satisfied by our putting forth
conscious effort. A man may be hun

have power, 1t is true. temporarily to
stop our breathing or to increase its
rapidity by All act of wiz; but even when
we forget all about it the breathing con-
tinues. This is one of the many mys-
teries OF our being always before us,
but seldom thought of, and yet it is very
striking. This frequent and impor-
tant act of our daily life has not been
entrusted to our care. but has been so
arranged for that it is performed every
three or four seconds from the moment
of birth until death, without requiring
one thought from us. The breathing
apparatus never sleeps. Again, oxy-
gen is so closely connected with
the great vital processes upon
which our growth and daily
energy depend, that food itself is use
less unless accompanied by large sup
ply of it. Indeed, when the quantity
of oxygen which man consumes in
his lungs daily is calculated, it is found
to be greater in weight than all the dry
food he requires during the same Pc

Some black-robed, piteous nun
Binds up the bleeding wounds
When the days fight is done,

Where, gairshly, has passed
The heated, burdened day
To wither, bruise and blast,
Night comes In sable dress,
With soothing, soft caress,
To heal and sweetly bless.
Sad eyes, which long did weep;
Hearts-heavy sick and worn
Praying for peaceful sleep;
Hands weary, briar-torn,
Feet that for courted rest
Halt by the sunset gate,
Welcome this dark-robed guest
And for her coming wait
Bird OF the broken wing,
Cease now thy sorrowing-
Nighttime doth healing bring.
