A M istaken Idea.
Sanitary World.

An extraordinary fallacy is the
dread of night air. What air can we
breathe at night but night air? The
choice is between pure night air from
without and foul air from within.
Most people prefer the latter-an un-
accountable choice. What will they
say if it 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.
l 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 night the best time
for airing the patient. One of our
highest medical authorities on con-
sumption and climate has told me that
the air of London is never 80 good as
after ten O'Clock at night. Always
air your room, then, from the outside
air, if possible. Windows are made to
open, doors are made to shut-a truth
which seems extremely difficult of ap-
prehension. Every room must be
aired from without, every passage
from within.

LOVE THE coNQUERoR.
BY q. BARLOW .

oh, love II life should end to-nisht
How short our life would seem,
One little flash of summer light:
tine brief and passionate dream.
One glimpse of roses on the wall,
or blue bells In the lane.
Then, love, the end. the end Of all
Ave, buds might swell and leaves might fall
But not for Us again
The stream We used To watch and love
Would ever onward tiaw.
From the dark pines The gray wood dove
Would call-we should not know.
All! lot for us the pines would wave,
For us ~ stream would run:
We should be silent IN the grave,
Unable even 20 hoard and save
one little glimpse of sun
Yet II not this Somhre view
OF life AMI all II brings"
Thank heaven, the bright waves still are blue
And still he throStle sings.
And oh, before loves cOnpueTing song
Deaths voice sinks quite away.
For lite Is short, but love u long.
And death j. fierce. but love Is strong,
And love shall win the daN'

Bismarck has grown old during the
last few years. His mustache IL white
as snow and his walk less erect than
In former years, but the power Of his
face and the might of his eyes live
still the same as they were ten years
ago. When he sits down II Is as If he
was on guard, his sword laid across
his knees, ~ formerly old Hagen used
to sit, and though he IL no Hagen in
guilt and wickedness, he is Hagen in
faithfulness, and, II need be, in stern
wrath. And he Is on guard at the
gates of the fatherland.
Bismarck, as every body knows, is
not an orator. nearly said, thank
God, he is no orator. His speech has
been likened TO forest stream which
rumbles over stones and roots. The
comparison is somewhat poor.
think know better, though rather
technical one namely, his speech is
like quicksilver drawn out. Take
drop of quicksilver containing some
lead or zinc, put il on pane of glass
and hold 1t slantingly. The drop
swells and rolls, but presently il stops,
becomes thinner and longer, remains
immovable for q moment, gathers new
strength to flow, becomes thin once
again, and so forth. Thus Ii Is with
the chancellors words; first halt a
sentence comes out, then he hesitates,
stops, or utters a short, inarticulate
sound, and goes on again. Ii is evil
dent that TO speak is physical exer-
ton, but even when he IL in first rate
form he does not talk fuently.
But on closer observation the reason
appears very soon. The form of his
speech is improvised on the spur of
the moment, but, unlike many fluent
speakers, he does not use the first
mind, but while he IL utteriDg the
first half of a sentence he is thinking
of how to shape the second half in
order to express exactly what he
wishes to say. If he makes q joke or
slight observation he speaks quickly
and without hesitation, but IS soon as
he returns to the serious treatment of
q political subject this painfully accu-
rate expression, the result of mental

shows that he endeavors not to say a
syllable which he cannot reconcile
with his responsible position. This is
the reason why his speeches concern
ing foreign politics, read like official
diplomatic documents, every word Is
carefully considered.
His voice 10 peculiar, high pitched
and not very powerful. 1t has been
called q thin voice, but this only
expresses one of it's qualities. Another
Is that 1t Is so remarkable young that
one would think IL almost incredible
for q man Of his age to possess such q
voice. IL one does not see him while
he is speaking II is difficult to believe
that Is not q young lieutenant of
twenty eight who Ia speaking (Which,
by the way, Is rather pity, since the
snarl and the drawl Of the German
lieutenant Is proverbially detestable.)
But put in connection with this quail
ity 1t can sound extremely soft and
fiatteriDg, and l should not be sur
prised If In former years, when he
was ambassador, some of his personal
successes had been due just to this
tfDlbre of his voice.

Names IN History.
Iiarper's BaZar.


An interesting study has lately been
made concerning the possibility of
tracing the career of nation by means
of the specific character of the names
of those combining to make the popu-
lstion; that is, not of telling that here
battle took place and there king
was murdered in his palace, but the
way up from barbarian to culture
and down again through wealth to de-
cay. The thing has already been quite
thoroughly done with coins and med
ais, which not only tell the story of
dynasties by likenesses and inscrip-
tions, but the progress and abasement
of art in their design and execution.
The result of this study OF names has
been exceedingly interesting in more
than one case. Take for example, the
names prevailing among the Hebrews,
and the primitive simplicity, the pas
toral, poetic and religious nature,
which they picture in a wonderful
manner. These people called the
mother race Eve, which signifies life,
and no more subtle flattery was ever
given woman: the father was called
Adam, whose Interpretation is the red
earth, and which is surely at the very
root of things primitive; recently
they are putting the syllable alb into
names, alb meaning father, and then
we have label, wanderer, the father
of such as dwell in tents; while Abra-
ham, the father of great people, and
many other combinations of the sylla-
BILE, point also to the patriarchsl char
acter of the race. But soon the sylla-
BILE of el, meaning deity, comes in, in
such names as Melchizedek, Samuel,
Ishmsel, Elihu; and then come those
with combinations of Jah and 10, with
the same Specification, and we have
Elijah, to be translated Jehovah is
God Eliab, God a father; Elimelech,
God king; and Joshua, God a saw
Tor, which sufficiently portrays the
religious nature of the people. Mean
time the poetry of their feelings APP
pears in names such as Jubal, blast
of trumpets; ia Isaac, born to his par
ents in their old age, and called, out of
their gladness, only laughter in Da-
vid, signifying beloved in Israel, a
prince with God; from all of which
it is plain that the wearers of these
names are people of simplicity, at
first of tent lite, then governed by
princes, full of poetry and of deep re-
ligion, worshiping one God, as the
word Elijah shows, and seeing in that
God king, father, savior, as 9TH
ers of the names indicate. The same
thing again is evident in Greek names.
Many of the earlier ones had the root
Lye from tycOs, wolf as in Lycur-
gus and Lyscon and others had Leon,
as in Leonidas, Leontes, all betraying
the rude element, admiration and cul-
tivation of brute strength. After this
comes the word hippOs, q horse, as in
Philippos, the lover Of horses; Hip
parchus, horse tanner; Xantippe, yell
low horse, and Hippomachus, q horse
warrior, whence perhaps the idea of
the centaurs-here again showing the
advance from the rude element to the
martial spirit, the subsection of the
inferior and the love of the chase and
Of warlike sport. But awhile after this
comes the prefix Lys, from lysis,
meaning free; whereupon we find

that ROBUSTNESS of constitution and
strength of body without which no
one can long endure the strain OF
business or professional life. There,
too, they built up that strength OF
mind and character which is necessary
in order to overcome the temptations
of city life, and that steadfast deter
mination which enabled them to
achieve success.
The reasons for these things are not
hard to find. The conditions of city
life are such as to lead to a much
greater prevalence of nearly all cpl
demic and contagious diseases. Then
the country lads and lasses enjoy
plenty of pure air and sunshine,
simple food and outdoor exercise.
Their habits are regular, their hours
of rising and retiring are early, and
they live close to nature. In the city
these conditions are reversed. Pure
air is hard to find, night is turned into
day, and life is artificial. The strain
upon the system is greater,
the body is not as well nourished, and
the vital forces give out earlier.

DEAD SEA WONDERS.
A Desolate, God-Smitten and Man-For-
saken Eastern Valley.

One of the most interesting lakes or
inland seas in the world is the Dead
Sea, which has no visible outlet. 1t is
not mere fancy that has clothed the
Dead Sea in gloom. The desolate
shore, with scarcely a green thing IN
sight, and scattered over with black
stones and ragged driftwood, form a
fitting frame for the dark sluggish
waters, covered with a perpetual mist,
and breaking in slow, heavy, sepul-
chral-toned waves upon the beech. 1t
seems as if the smoke of the wicked
cities was yet ascending up to Heaven,
and as if the moan of their fearful
sorrow would never leave the God
smitten valley.
1t is a strange thing to see those
waves, not dancing along and spark
ling in the sun, as other waves do, but
moving with measured melancholy,
and sending to the ear, as they break
languidly upon the rock, only doleful
sounds. This is, no doubt, owing to
the great heaviness of the water, a fact
well known, and which we amply veri-
fed in the usual way, for, on attempt
ing to swim, we went floating about
like empty TASKS. This experiment
was more satisfactory in it's progress
than in it's results, which were a very
unctuous skin and a most pestifferous
singing of every nerve, az if we had
been beaten with n~ettles. Nor was the
water we took into mouth a whit
less vile than the most nauseous drugs
of the apothecary.
That fish can not live in this strong
solution of bitumen and salt is too OBJ
vious to need proof, but to say that
birds can not fly over it and live is
one of the exaggerations of travellers,
who, perhaps, were not like ourselves,
so fortunate as to see a flock of ducks
reposing on the water in apparently
good health. And yet this was all
the life we did see. The whole valley
was one seething cauldron, under
more than a tropical sun. God-for-
saken and man-forsaken, no green
thing grows within it, and it remains
to this day as striking a monument of
Gods fearful judgments as when the
fire from Heaven devoured the once
mighty cities Of the plain.-Missiomary
Herald.
