The Dread Of Night Air.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of
night air. What air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choiceis between
pure night air from without and foul air
from within. Most people prefer the latter
an unaccountable choice. What will
they say if it is proved to be true that fully
one-haIf 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 fou
hours. One cou'd better understand shut
ting the windows in town during the day
than during the night for the sake of tn,
sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet, all
tend to make the night the best time for air
ing the patient. Always air your room
then, from the outside, ifpossible. Win
dows are made to open, doors are made to
shut-a truth which seems extremely diff
cult of apprehension. Every room must bC
aired from without, every passage from
within.

Sore Shoulders IN Horses.

Keep the horses collars perfectly clean.
| scrape them every morning whether
they seem dirty or not, to make sure that
they are clean. If the shoulders are in
clined to get sore at the bottom raise the
draft by putting thick piece Of cloth be-
tween the top of the collar and top hame
strap. Some man in the business should
invent hame with sliding hook 50 as
to raise and lower the draft in an instant.
To cure sore shoulders, put the collar on
clean and after driving, say half an hour,
stopand rescrape the collar. Then have
some sulphur tied in cloth with which
powder the sore parts thoroughly. If the
shoulders are very bad attend to them
every two or three hours. 1t does not
require five minutes to do it, and in a
week the shoulders will be sound. When
the roads are very dusty | wash the
shoulders every evening.

THE PULPIT and THE PRESS.
Sermon by Rer. Mr.. Darisson at 81
Pdups VI. r. Church, South, Bdifo.

The Rev. A. Davisson, pastor of St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
Baltimore, preached to his congregation
recently on Newspaper Reading" He
said "a passage in the Scriptures says
that the Athenians and the strangers spent
their time in doing nothing else than to
tell and hear some new thing. 1t is by
telling and hearing some new things that
we grow. If we did not hear or tell new
things the world would be where it was
1900 years ago We must be hearing or
telling, or remain ignorant. Curiosity is
all right, and must be gratifed, and will
be gratifed.
"The foremost of modern devices for
gratifying our curiosity is the newspaper.
The editor of paper hardly knows how
valuable he may be to society. He does
not seem to understand thoroughly that
he is power for good or for evil. The
newspaper gives us the news of the day.
1t is the best way for US 10 know what Is
going on. The news is fresh and warm,
and like food, it is appreciated better
when it is fresh and warm. 1t is an in
structor 1t keeps us posted as TO social
usages. We would sooner read news
paper than book on etiquette. The
newspaper tells us about the acts of pub
lie personages and the interchange of
courtesies between them. Another thing
about a newspaper is that it is handy.
You can carry newspaper in street
car better than a volume; you can put
it in your pocket. 1t is attractive in APP
pearance, and thus knowledge is brought
to us in handy form. 1t is cheap, too.
"The press is power and no mistake.
Point out to me the man whose secret in
life the newspaper can't unlock Spright-
ly, active reporters are used as tho keys.
The reporter generally gets there, and
brings us what he gets. The newsboy, |
guess, wishes there was prize fight every
week.
"a paper will be no better or worse
than the editor. Out of pure office will
come a pure paper. If the editors sole
idea is to make money, money will taint
the sheet A paper should be stimula-
ting, purifying. When the press and the
pulpit get to fighting, the devil generally
gets the upper hand. The press must
watch the pulpit and the pulpit must
watch the press we are brothers. | saw
three ladies in n street car the other day,
each with paper in hand giving full ac-
counts of the prize.fght; none of the
men in the car had one. | understand
the reverencet the fair sex have for strength,
but the attention Of our women ought TO
be directed to something better The
press ought to educate the public taste up
to the right standard. The editor of the
London PaH-MaH Gazette was obliged to
suffer for exposing those crimes in high
life. Much of the reading was bad, but
it did good.
"Young people, the newspaper is your
best friend if you know how 10 take it.
Give your aid as much as you can to the
purifcation of the press. God bless the
mission of the press %
