Fresh Air at Night.
Sanitary World.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of night air. What air can we breathe
at night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure night air from without and
foul air from within. Most people pre-
fer the latter-an unaccountabIe choice
What will they say if If is proved to be
true that fully One-half of all the diseases
we suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with their windows shut? An
open window most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest to
be had in twenty-four hours. One could
better understand shutting the windows
in town during the day than during the
night for the sake of the sick. The
absence of smoke, the quiet, all
tend to make the night the best time
for airing the patient. One of our highest
medical authorities on consumption and
climate has told me that the air of Lon
don is never so good as after 10 O'Clock
at night. Always cir your room then.
from the outside air if possible. Win
dows are made to open, doors are made
to shut-a truth which seems extremely
difficult of apprehension Every room
must be aired from without, every mass
age from within.

of the latter region traces of old home
steads are found at low water mark, and
within the memory of some of the old in
haDltants meadows fiOurished and corn
grew where CLANS are now plentiful. But
without going into hearsay evidence upon
this point, one has only to look at the
beach itself. There he will find the roots
of pine trees more than half way out
from the present line of high water. The
trees that stood there are well remem-
bered by many persons whose
TecollectlOns need only go back some
ten or fifteen years. And we are
told the evidence is the same all along a
considerable portion of the Atlantic sea-
board. Just where this thing is going to
stop it will be di1ncuIt to say. Perhaps
some scientific men VIII say that in ages
past the sea hereabOuts came very much
further inland than it does at present;
that it receded, and has now taken a no.
ton to come back again. Well, it GER
tainly does look little that way. Every
new storm appears to bring the water
further up than the one that came be-
fore it.

How The ScaIper ScaIps.


A Denver reporter gives the following
to the world: In scalper's office yester-
day & gentleman wanted a ticket to Chi
cage. One was offered him at SIS.
60 Is it saGe?" asked the customer.
Yes sir, perfectly safe. If you buy
il we will punch out your description i'll
the margin here and no questions will be
asked. y The man took the ticket and
saved 81 80 by the transaction.
How do you get such tickets?' asked
the reporter.
Buy them from excursionists. The
companies sell them and accidentally on
purpose forget TO punch out the de-
scription on the margin, so we do it for
them. They make nice tickets to handle,
but the Union Pacific sent out the best
ones this time. They are a simple
straight ticket with the usual conditions
mot transferable and all that, but the
customer is not required to sign it until
he starts home; so that no other name
appears upon it; it is good for anyone.
Oh, yes, Of course, the rail-
road companies know it, and they never
make lis any trouble as they used to be-
fore the interstate commerce act. We
help them dodge the act
when they want to, so they have
to stand in with US. See?

Georgia, comparatively speaking, who
know that there is an olive grove in the

one east Of the Rocky mountains There
are only two groves in California, but the
finest they bear will compare in no way
with those raised here. Mine are much
larger and better.
"'What do you do with the olives you
raise?''
''Pickle some of them, but make the
larger portion of them into oil. [ have
on my place now a quantity of the oil
that is as nice and clear as can be made
anywhere. -
Glow does olive growing compare
with cotton raising from a pecuniary
standpoint? -

Why, 1 make $50 gallons of oil every

A Remedy for Hollow Cheeks.
DoIl rT.1f roza++a

Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are very
awkward things. Ladies do their best
to prevent their appearance. The clever
ones seem to be able to ward of the
wrinkles, but hollow cheeks completely
battle their skill. \ gentleman who
lives at lslington is providing ladies
whose cheeks are hollow with small pads
These pads are attached to natural or
artificial teeth by means of tiny
gold springs. The price Of a face
pad is a trife heavy, like everything
else guaranteed to improve the personal
appearance. a pair of pads cost some
thing like E5. The maker of the face
pad said that gentleman as well as ladies
are wearing them. One gentleman had
never looked anything but cadaverous
until he took TO the pad. Now his cheeks
are rounded like q cherub s and looks
ten years younger. The curious thing
about the face pad is its infexibility. It
is made of the same material as the case
of set of artificial teeth.

Made from Human Leather.
!. = NJ = vi t74- Il c -4-N
New York World.


1t is not a very pleasant thought that
human skin tanned into the most deli
cate leather is now becoming a CONNER
ciaI commodity. The exigencies of trade
have stimulated a demand in at least one
industry for the outer covering of the
human being. A few grades of gloves sold
in this city are manufactured from this
material in France and Switzerland,
where the tanneTies have been quietly
supplying human leather to the glove
makers for some years. A reporter ex-
amined strip of close-grained human
leather the other day, which is in the
possession of Mr.. A. J Moore of the
Boots and Shoes Weekly. 1t was taken
from mans back, and is as thick
as the ordinary sole leather. Leather
experts say that as the hide of a kid
compares with that of a goat, so, of
course, does the skin of child compare
in pliable texture with that of the adult.
Nature has protected mans spine by
skin which is much heavier than on other
parts of the body save the sole Of the
foot and the heel. Bits of skin from the
human heel have been tanned up into
leather almost an inch thick.

Facts About Finger Nails.
Medical Classics.

The average rate of growth of the fin
ger nails has been estimated at one mil
limetre, or two fifths Of q line per week:
rate quadruple to that of toe nails,
which require four weeks to grow the
same length. This growth continues
with little variation, even during disease
ct the portion of the nail then formed is
thinner and deficient in strength
In sudden and acute diseases
and in those accompanied with extreme
debility. this attenuation is sufficient to
mark the nails with deep transverse
grooves, the upper surface of which is
