A Few Words About tho Proper yontiia-

That's the last time I'll call there, {"
remarked Acknowledgement lady
to hor escort, as they left the house OF
friend the other day.
''How is thatpn
because the house Is so stuffy ono
would actually think that the whole
place was Theoretically sealed, SO that
no fresh air was wanted or permitted
TO enter"
Such state OF affairs to often exists
in many OF our city homes, and disease
is naturally the result of the unwisdom
OF such course. In the majority OF
homes the best room is usually kept
dark, the doors shut and the blinds
pulled down. After tho departure Of
the visitors the room is busted,
the furniture Strengthened out and
the room shut up until the advent
OF another guest Whom visitors are
not frequent the room may be aired
and busted occasionally. but seldom Is
this done often enough TO insure tho
room being healthful and comfortable.
II guests should happen to announce
their coming in advance, they might be
certain that the room is well aired for
their reception; but whom coming with
out any notification. they are ushered
into a close stuffy room, just long as it
is closed up IL is sure 10 be stuify. The
woman OF the house will not notice tho
closeness, owing to her being in doors
so much. There is nothing better to
test the purity Of Is room as going into
1t directly from the fresh air. A room
to be henlthful and comfortable should
be aired each day. - Miisouukce iFiscoa-

COUGHING IN CHURCH.
An EVIL Bred Of Habit aud Apparently
rhoughtiess Imitation.

An Evil Bred of Habit aud Apparently
rhoughtiess Initiation.
Whoever has attended n place OF
worship must have noticed that the
storm OF coughing which prevails
therein, and the throat-clcaring which
moves like rabble of wrong notes
before the church music, are not who'll
ly natural phenomena. They are to n
largo extent avoidable evils, bred Of
habit and thoughtless imitation. and
their very desirable reduction is there
fore by no means hopeless. Even
where basis OF disease underlies tho
explosion, little self-control could
usually do something to lesson its force
or its frequency. The Same is OF course
doubly true in the case of the merely
habitual cougher. A variety OF medic
inal aids might, moreover. be used in
support OF such voluntary efforts.
There is, lastly, the option OF refrain
ing from the use OF the voice in wOr-
ship should every other means fail to
assure that reasonable degree OF quiet
which is natural and decent in public
worship. Remonstrance on the part
of the officiating clergymen affords
another possible remedy. and a
preacher must indeed be often tempted
10 reprove this form OF disturbance as
much in the interest of his hearers as
himself. Occasionally his judicious
interference might be useful. We can
not doubt that It has from time to timo
been resorted TO. 1t must be remem-
bered, however. that nowhere are tact
and temper so needful as In the pulpit,
and that, however easy of use this cor
rectivo may appear, 1t would be un-
wise TO establish any set method OF
restraint in case where so much de-
pends on personal discretion. A no
tice affixed at each entrance-door
would probably bettor answer the samo
purpose. In one respect, indeed, both
clergymen and their lny assistance are
opon to some degree OF blame in tho
mattet. Tho arrangements for heat
ing and ventilation arc defective in all
most every church. By seeking out
and amending any evident errors IN
these respects the official members OF
a congregation would at least be doing
what they could TO abate the coughing
nuisance. London Lancet.

Experience OF n College Graduate with
Journalistic Aspirations.
Horace Greeley said one time after
he had swallowed something the wrong
way: "Of all horned cattle deliver
me from tho college graduate who
wishes TO become newspaper man."
Once the manager OF well-known
San Francisco paper brought u young
man in TO the city editor, and intro
ducing him, said that he was gradu-
ate OF the State University and desired
to be n journalist. "Yes.n said the
young graduate, II want to start in
on the bottom round OF the ladder and
work up, and no smiled with the deep
satisfaction OF having already given
the veteran journalist u sample OF his
saw-mill resolution. The city editor
said he was glad to know ho had no
objections TO starting In on the
bottom round. There was noth-
ing Just then for him to climb after,
but II he would sit down and read the
paper for awhile something might turn
up. In about fifteen minutes some-
thing did turn up. Word came that a
prominent Montgomery street mer-
chant had failed. The city editor told
young varsity to go to the merchant,
appraise him OF the rumor, with the
assurance that he did not believe 1t,
and lay open the columns OF the paper
for any explanations that he chose to
make. The young graduate went out
with an elastic step, and returned in
about ten minutes with spotted shirt
front and pallid face. A gentlo
snicker went up from the other report
ers. The city editor looked up from
his work and asked what was the mat
ter. The young graduate, in a falter-
ing voice, said that he had been ruth
lessly elected and had carried part
OF the swinging glass with him as
he came out without his hat. The city
editor nodded q nod that may have
been to stranger somewhat ambigu-
GUS, and went on with his work. The
young graduate stood awhile near the
desk shaking with fright. aud at loss
to know what % do. He finally said:
