Hastily scribbling upon tho latter
. statement of the fact that he had
arrived, and was safe 10 the inn, he
addressed and dispatched it, took his
supper. and went to bed. It was q
comfortable bed enough, aud he slept
like q top. and early in the morning.
true to his country habits, arose with
a firm determination to have a Turkish
bath before breakfast. He had the
direction of the baths in his pocket,
and car took him to the door. Having
bought a ticket, he was introduced into
the public room, and to a private dress
ing room, and went through his ordeal.
Afterward, rs he reclined on q sofa, he
came to the happy conclusion that his
inner man had not escaped through
the pores of his skin, and that when
he solidified again he should be himself
once more. There was only one early
bather in the place, and he did not
pause to rest. He was OF as soon as
he had put his clothes on.
So Mr.. Rufus was able to depart also.
He went to the little room where he
had left his garments and essayed to
clothe himself. but something had
happened to his garments; they were
too small. Had he swollen in the bath!
No. They were not his garments.
Yet he was sure of the .lumber of his
dressing-room. He rang bell. An
attendant appeared. A search was
made. The polite proprietor was
summoned.
The gentleman who had just de-
parted had evidently changed the
clothes. The same key fitted both
doors, and yet the garments left were
not shabby. They were in fact, almost
new; q short cutaway coat, a light,
greenish-colored overcoat with tre-
mendous buttons, trousers of q very
broad plaid, . very sombrero of a
soft hat, all at least two sizes too small
for Mr.. Rufus.
Ihave known distracted gentlemen,
but never one so distracted as this gen.
tleman must have been," said the pro-
prietor. "Probably he'll discover his
mistake and return"
But Mr.. Rufus, sitting disconsolately
in his blanket. had no such hope. He
waited q long while and was at last in
formed that the ''ladies hour" had
come, and that all gentlemen bathers
must depart; and examining himself into
the garments we have mentioned, de-
parted, a comical sight enough, with
sleeves that left his wrists bare, and at
least quarter of a yard of ankle be-
tween cloth and shoe.
AS he descended the steps of the
house. he saw on the opposite side OF
the way large sign bearing the words

CELLAR VENTILATION.

Suggestions for Dairymen a. Well a.
SIousekeepers In General
A great mistake is sometimes made
in vcntilating cellars and milk-houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep the
cellars cool and dry, but this object
often fails of being accomplished by
a common mistake, and instead the
cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be venti-
lated unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or at least as cool
as that, or very little warmer. The
warmer the air, the more moisture it
holds in suspension. Necessarily, the
cooler the air the more the moisture
is condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on a warm day,
the entering air being in motion ap-
pears cool, but as it fills the cellar
the cooler air with which it becmes
mixed chills it, the moisture is con-
densed, and the dew is deposited on
the cold walls, and may often be seen
running down them in streams. Then
then cellar is damp, and soon becomes
mouldy. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and
late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful; it is as pure as the
air of midday, and really drier. The
cool air enters the apartment during
the night and circulates through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning. and kept
closed and shaded during the day. II
the air in the cellar is damp. it may be
thoroughly dried by placing in 1t a
peck of fresh lime in an open box. A
peck of lime will absorb about seven
pounds, or more than three quarts Of
water, and in this way cellar or milk
room may soon be dried, even in the
hottest weather.-N. w. Christian
Advocate.

Sound Reasons for Approval.

DUQuW 1S08BOnS 1Or approval
There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the pub
lie prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
above the ordinary cathartlcs. It does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than forces nature to act; it is botan-
ic and safe; its action IS never preceded by
an internal earthquake like that produced
by a drastic purgative. For thirty-five
years past it has been household remedy
for liver, stomach and kidney troubles,
malaria and rheumatism.

A wild hope urged him. He rushed
across the street, and bolted into the
office. Two very ill-tempered looking
gentlemen looked up from newspapers.
and inquired his business with their
eyes. v-s.<.:..
