Excess of Shade.

Houses in places otherwise unexception-
able are often so closely oNerhung with
trees as to be in a state of humidity, by
preventing free circulation Of air, and by
obstructtng free admission of the SUMS
rays Trees growing against the walls of
houses, and shrubs in confined places near
dwellings are injurious also as faNoring
humidity. At a proper distance, on the
other hand, trees are favorable to health
On this principle, says DR.. James Clark. it
may be understood how the inhabitants.of
one house suffer from rheumatism, head
ache, dyspepsia, nervous affections and
other consequences of living in a-oon1ned,
humid atmosphere, while their nearest
neighbors, whose houses are otherwise
situated, enjoy good health; and even how
one side of a large building, fully exposed
to the sun and to a,free circulation of air,
may be healthy while the other side, over
looking damp, shaded courts or gardens, is
unhealthy. Humid, confined situations,
subject to great alienation of temperature
between day and night, are the most dan
gerous of all the physical qualities of the
cir, and humidity in general is, according
to medical classics, the most injurious to
human life. Dryness, with a free circula-
ton of air, and full exposure to the sun
are Che material things to be attended to
in choosing residence

applied over the mouth of the patient, the
valve of the bag is turned, and the whole

inhaled at single dose, AS the gas Is

CLARA BARTON TELLS TIE GOOD NEWS.
soldier, has investigated the ingrstitude Of
the republic TO the women who performed
that important and beautiful service, ana
he has been moved to action. He has re-
ported to the house a bill placing ON the
pension roll at $l2 a month ''all women
employed by the surgical department OF
the United States service as army nurses,
Or otherwise officially recognized as such
during the late war of the rebellion, and
who rendered service in hospitals in the
camp or on the battlefelds for period Of
six months or more, and who were honor
ably relieved therefrom, and who from the
results of such service or the infrmities OF
advancing age are unable TO earn their
own support"
81 believe this bill will become law, says
Mr.. BeIknap. 1T will cost a mere trifie,
$4,000 a year | cannot believe that any
member of congress viii vote against 1t.
According to the best information which l
have been able to gather, only 900 women
would be likely to avail themselves Of the
proposed pensions. Twenty-Five per cent
of those recorded served less than six
mouths, and consequently do not come
under the provisions of this act. Forty TO
30 per cent. of the remainder have died
since the war, leaving about 300 sur
vivors, of whom probably one-haf would
be considered under this bill. By the most
liberal rulings of the pension office not
more than 900 women would be likely TO
receive pensions, 200 having already been
placed on the rolls by special act OF con-
Gress.
diminishing, is very small one for a great
nation to pay in balancing accounts with
the noble army of women who went to the
field and the hospitals.
1T should be remembered that q ma
jority of these women were from the
higher walks of hfe-cultivated, we'll to do
ladies. many of them wives and mothers
They made no distinction between the sol
diers Of the north and south, but minis
tered everywhere to the suffering. They
left their homes of comfort or luxury, en-
dured all the privations OF hospital and
field life, and worked practically without
recompense or reward, for what was forty
cents a day and an army ration! More
than that, it has come to my personal
knowledge that scores and scores OF these
devoted women gave of their private funds
10 the relief of the soldiers. The YES; ma
jority Of them used the small sums re
ceIved nom the government In purchasing
food and medicines for the wounded, de-
priving themselves of every comfort, and
in many we'll known instances taking the
clothing from their1,own persons to band
age tie wounds Of soldiers upon the battle
field.

ured ladies who left their children and
their homes behind them-the women
who had been accustomed to the
comforts and luxuries of life, but
who had still had experience in the
care of the sick of their own families.
These women were moved by the loftiest
motives of humanity and patriotism, and
they entered the work with heart and soul,
with an enthusiasm which no rebuffs could
discourage, no obstacles stay, / speak of
such women as Mrs. Fales, of Washington,
who it is believed was the first woman in
America who performed any work directly
tending to the aid and comfort Of the sol
diers in the late war.
81 speak of such women as Clara Barton,
who was among the very first to act, and
whose reading the news from the front to
the wounded and sick soldiers quartered in
the senate chamber of this CapfSol-stand-
ing at the desk of the presiding officer
while doing so-made one Of the notable
incidents of the early days of the war.
There was the beautiful Miss Gibson, of
Boston, whom Miss Dix refused to employ
as a nurse on account of her youtmulness,
but who nevertheless went to the front,
stained her pretty white hands and her
person with the blood of the field and the
hospital, washed the faces, hands and feet
of sufferers, talked to them and sang to
them like second Florence Nightingale.
Mrs. John Harris, of Philadelphia, was a
type of the women of whom speak. She
was the wife of an eminent physician In
Philadelphia, pale, delicate, often an in
valid for months, yet she went to the front
and performed prodigies. Mrs. Eliza c.
Porter, Of Chicago, the wife Of clergy
man, was another.
"a true heroine Of the war was Margaret
Breckinridge, Of St. Louis, granddaughter
of John breckenridge, Of Kentucky, ones
attorney general Slight of figure, with
intense religious earnestness and nnrnsical
voice, she worked and sang her way to
the hearts of the soldiers till it was finally
said of her, as it had been of Florence
Nightingale in the Crimea, that the suf-
ferers kissed her shadow as it fell upon their
pillow.
1T is useless to give more names, and
these l mention by way of illustration,
to give you an idea of the sort of women
for whom this bill was drawn. Some Of
those have named are dead, and perhaps
none of them would apply for pension,
but many Of their sister-heroines, once as
prosperous as they, are now known TO be
