Whoever sleeps uncomfortably cool
will get i'll. To put window quite
high when the mercury is at zero is an
absurdity. The cooler asleeping apart
ment is the more unhealthy does it be-
come, because cold condenses the car
bolic acid formed by the breathing of
the sleeper. 1t settles near the door
and is re-breathed, and if in very con-
densed form, he will die before the
morning. Hence we must be governed
by circumstances; the first thing Is you
must be comfortable warm durng sleep,
otherwise you are not refreshed, and
inflammation of the lungs may be engen-
dered, and life destroyed within few
days. An open fireplace is sufficient
for ordinary purposes in cold weather.
When the windows are open, it is we'll
to have them down at the top two or
three inches, and up at the bottom for
the same space.

the future of the order, says:
'For two years and upward the tendency
of the order has been, downward, In Decem-
ber, 1885, the New York Sun said that five
men had right to stop 100000 wage-work-

invested in them. The power and authority
of five men and of the order they represented
were so magnifed that thousands of curiosity
seekers gained entrance to the order. have

words ringing in my ears: We are passing

Something Still to be Remembered

The elections are over, but the
lessons are not to be dismissed with the
close of the polls. The responsibility
which Mr.. Cleveland bravely endeavor-
ed to meet will devolve upon Mr.. Harri-
son. The new president will be con-
fronted by a condition, not a theory.
The Union may receive severer blow
than ever came from armed rebellion.
Secession struck the nation in the face
and aroused its manhood.
Danger, real danger, will close in an
insidious form. Those who feared for
the future of the republic did not dread
armed antagonism, but rather the
growth of the mercenary spirit, the
army of stipendiaries under our prof.
gate pension laws, the tariff, which
creates class of prodigiously rich men
by taxing every laborer; trusts, castles,
mOneyed classes-all so many steps to-
ward a degradation of the Union, sure
to be more fatal in time than would
have been successful secession.
Had the rebellion succeeded there
would have been two military repub-
lie, one watching the other, and in
some respects compelling the good be-
havior which the vigilance of self
preservation would have compelled.
But unless this new evil is eradicated we
shall have a Union as wretched and
fiimsy as was Rome under the Augustu'
lus sovereigns.-N. II. Herald.

Sunday three-year-old child of L. p Olson,
of East Sioux Falls, died from dropsy, and
preparations were made to bury the child on
Tuesday butas the ground was slippery from
the recent sleet storm it was postponed until
the next day. That night the body showed
evidence of returning life Color frequently
came into different parts of the body and
then entirely disappeared. There were also
other evidences of life. The funeral was in
definitely postponed until it is decided
whether Or not the child is dead. Dozens of
doctors have examined the body, but none
will authorize the burial of the child.

DEATH OF MRS. SCHOFIELD.
Sad Bereavement to the Commander of the
United States Army,

United States Army.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-The wife of Ma.
Gen. John M. Schofeld, in comm md of the
army of the United States, died Sunday
morning at the Richmond fats, in this city.
Mrs. Schofeld has not been in good health
since her arrival in Washington some months
ago. The attack of illness which resulted in
her death was, however, unexpected. She
had been suffering from heart disease COM
plicated with nervous trouble Saturday
night she had severe attack and three of
the late Gen. Sheridan's sphysicians-Dr Var
rows, Surgeon O'Reilly, u S. A., and DR.
Lincoln-were called in. They were unabls
to do anything for the patient, and she died
between and o'clock.
Mrs Schofeld was the daughter of Pro-
fessor Bartlett, formerly professor of phil
osophy at West Point, military academy.
She was married at that time. Gen. Scho-
field, then subordinate, was detailed as in
structor at West Point. The remains of
Mrs. Schofield will be taken to West Point
where they will be buried, probably on
Wednesday next.

Peculiar Methods.

The sphorism that ''all b fair IN wsn,~
seems to be the guiding star Of those whose
aim 1t IL to attract the readers attention In
the latter-day newspapers
In the strife which has followed, tho ART
of advertising has been greatly changed
from what it was few years ago Former
~, the casual mention of the merits of an
article was all that was necessary to
attract attention; but when the ad-
vertising columns Of the papers became
crowded, the reader of the newspaper soon
realized that too much time would be con-
sumed In reading all Of them, and as re-
suit, those columns were oftentimes skipped
altogether.
1t was then that advertising developed
Into science-for the preparation of adj
vertisfng matter which viii attract pubic
attention IL o task which, nowadays re-
quirss degree Of tact and skill which not
every one possessea The modern advertiser,
aware of the pubic disposition to hurrisdly
pass over the ordinary advertisements, has
called to his assistance all conceivable in
gsnious devices of the printers art which
will tend to render his advertisement at
uactive to the reader
Peculiar methods are often employed : as
Il usual In the case of the extensive adver-
tising which L. done In behalf Of Warper's
Safe Cure, tho noted discovery for al
diseases of the kidneys and disorders aris-
ing therefrom-
What appears to the ordinary reader as an
inviting article Of current news is discovered
upon perusal to be an interesting article
which fmpresses the fact upon the readers
mind that kidney disease is the original
cause Of most lung, brain, heart and nervous
disorders and that those disorders are NOT
disease itself. but only symptoms Of dis
ease which can be successfully treated by
the use of Warmers Safe Cure, which will
remove the primary cause and thereby re-
store other affected organs to q vigorous
and healthy state.
In this instance the advertiser, bypeculial
means, succeeds In attracting the reader's at
tention, and not only is the name of the ad-
vertised article impressed upon themind, but
also the purposes for which its use is adapt
ed Besides achieving the advertisers pur
pose, this method of advertising is means
Of placing much valuable information in
the hands Of many who otherwise would
very probably remain ignorant upon . sub
ject of great Importance.

ham, and with the rapid duplication
of the volume of coal cxhumcd, the
demand still outgrows the supply.

depths of the strata of coal, and
however chcaply g mined, the demand,
