Thorough Ventilation of Sleeping Rooms.

Thorough Ventilation of Sleeping Rooms.
All persons spend more or less time in
their sleeping rooms. AS a rule, about
one-third of our lives is thus spent. The
sleeping room, therefore, should be the
best aired, the most comfortable and in
all other respects the most iealthful
room.
Ample ventilation is much needed at
all hours, but especial attention should
be paid to ventilation during sleep.
There is no danger in having a sleeping
apartment we'll ventilated, provided M
sleeps warm, being well protected by an
abundance of cover. The desire of a
we'll regulated housekeeper to have her
work done early in the morning causes
her to leave one of the most important
items of neatness undone. The most eff
fectual purifying Of the bed and bed
clothes cannot take place if the proper
time is not allowed for a thorough air
ing, which emoves all the human i'm
purities which have collected during
slumber.
Two or three hours at the least should
be allowed every day for Il thorough ven
tilation of bed and bedroom, and occa-
sionally bedding constantly used should
be carried into the open air and exposed
to the sun and wind for half a day.
There is an old exploded notion that it
is better to sleep in a cold room. Given
n good ventilation, a fire in a sleeping
room in cold weather is healthy. Cold
bed chambers imDerii health and invite
diseases. The old, tho infantile and the
frail should sleep in moderately warm
rooms in cold weather, provided with
ample ventilation Cor. Home Maya

The Axis Of the Continent.

Boston is sometimes called ,he
club of the universe" and has con.
siderable claim, i'll an intellectual way.
The Rocky mountains are alluded to
rs the "backbone of the continent''
and they are certainly rugged and
knobby enough to. constitute a formid.
able and reliable vertebral column.
mo wonder Uncle Sam is so indepen-
dent with such Il backhone). If these
are appropriate a%ppellations. then we
NAV rightly call the Mississippi valley
the axis of North America. In it's
borders are the bulk of the people-it
is the food store house of the whole
country-and the remainder of the
country revolves about it, dependent
upon it for food, for the great
working force, for political power.
To reach any portion of this valley

Total Deprayity of Youth.

A lad of 8 going into the police station
the other night tolda pitiable story, say
ing that his father SO abused him that
he had run away from his home in Rome,
N. Y. The police pitied him, and after
giving him a supper tucked him away
comfortably in a bed. The next morn
ing q man who lived onlya few doors
from the station wandered in and in
quired for his son. He was told that
only Il child was there, a poor little
fellow from New York state, who had
been badly treated at home. He natur-
ally felt for the child, and expressing a
desire to $50 him he was escorted to the
bed, when he recognized the sleeper as
his missing son..
He angrily demanded an explanation.
Jakey forgot all about the cruel Rome
father and trembled in anticipation of
the reception awaiting him at home.
When Sergeant Logan heard that he had
been wasting pity and good victuals on
the lad he felt a trifle queer, and did not
regain his composure until the patter of
a single accompanied by suppressed
sobs and yells floated out of a house
near by and fell like Music on his ear

A ~GENTLEMAN'S DEN.
Dnps Inst vl,nfcyar pIonS.s yy1u,

Room In Which the Man of tho House
Does just Whatever Plcascs Him.
The "yentleEan's den" is a new de-
partment in the decorators emporium.
For IL long time VIC have had the priv
ilege of seeing chambers, p%arlors, living
and dining rooms made up in shop win
dows with the incest regard for detail
and accuracy imaginable. Now comes
the novelty in the shape of an ideal for
u den, where the man of the house can
do as he likes-smoke till his eyes are
blind and the lining of his mouth peels
and where his books, papers and slippers
are safe from the destroying hand of the
housemaid. Tho model represented by
a local firm shows Il study in hand
painted English cotton, that cool, clean
fabric covering the walls. In the cell
ing, bordered with the palest blue cloth,
We're figures from the pyramids in pict-
uresquc groups. The friczc, also of print
ed cotton, is two feet wide, and repre-
sents a study from the hieroglyphics.
The floor is stained brown and q
couple of India rugs half cover it. The
furniture, while sparse. is substantial
and every piece served purpose. For
instance, the three chairs are large, easy
and luxurious; the Turkish couch, also
cotton covered, is provided with a dull
red pillow and a silver plush and leopard
skin sluMber robe that would stand ny
amount of rough usage for ten years at
least. On an Oriental coffee table the
smokers articles were displayed and
near by stood a blackened iron crane
with q kettle on the hook. Tho only at
tempt at decoration was a small bamboo
cabinet stained with walnut juice and
containing a sugar basin, water bottle,
can of alcohol and a couple of glasses
and spoons. The writing stand on the
center table was the size of aplatter such
as q turkey is served from, and the glue
pot and ink bottles had tho capacity of a
pint measure.
The only books on the table were a
dictionary and messengers tariff guide.
There was no cloth on the tables, no
tides on the chairs and no bric-a-brac to
be broken or busted. Stained glass pam
els filed the upper windows and delicate
silk sash curtains the lower lights. The
appointment of a den of this sort is
worth about 5000, and is referred to rs a
hole in tho wall where a bothered and
tired man may escape the horrors of
housekeeping, neighborly calls, piano
solos, elocution and baby talk.-New
York Letter.

Gems Going Up.

The passage of the silver bill in this
country has affected tho jewelry trade
In moro than one particular. The price
OF sterling tableware has already been
increased, and now advices from Europe
indicate that, owing to the new law,
the increase in the value Of the Indian
rupee has caused the prices of pearls
and fancy stones to rise to unprecedented
figures. A well known importer of col
ored stones in explaining the situation
said to a reporter:
las you probably know, the money
standard in India is the silver rupee.
Last February this coin was worth about
Is. 44d. in English money, or about "a
cents in United States money. About
that date, in anticipation of the new law
in the United States, the rupee began to
advance in value, until today it is worth
Is. 1Oad., or Is cents. All colored gems
and pearls that are exported from India
to England to sell on commission are
paid for in Indian exchange, and natu-
rally the goods that are at present for
sale on the other side will have to bring
from 20 to IS per cent. moro in order to
net their value in rupees.
"There are some lots of Indian cut
goods on hand, however, which were re-
ceived before the advance, and on which
advances at the old rate of exchange
were made. These are still purchasable
at the old price. The price of colored
stones has been gradually increasing for
years, and dealers will feel the new rise
keenly. An offer which l made on one
lot of goods wa refused. The owner
had declined an offer of ten per cent.
less several months ago, and he appar-
emily now values his gems at more than
ten per cent. above their former price.
During the next few months we may
expect a decided advance in the price Of
pearls, rubies and emeralds. Sapphires
will probably be less affected, as Of late
their sale has been limited, and dealers
will naturally sell old stock at the usual
prices as long as they yield a profit

Max O'Rell writes in Tho Washington
Star: 1.-The young French dandy takes
kindly, too, to tho single eye glass,
which, to DO really effective, must now
be worn without n string. | do not
mean that the string takes away from
the virtue of the glass, but it has been
decided that it detracts from tho stylish
ness of the elegant aid to vision.
IAN eye glass must not now be an ap-
pendage, but n part of ones self. The
aim is clearly to show that is so con-
tident of his ability to maintain the
glass in position that astring is needless.
The great desideratum is to be able to
eat with it, ride with it, dance with it,
laugh with it, sneezc with it (f you can
see with it SO much the better), in fact,
to look as if you slept with it and found
it i'll its place in the morning.
"Of course accidents will happen to
the best regulated eye glasses, and neces-
slrily part of the training for wearing a
stringless one properly is to learn to
pick it up nonchalantly when it does
stray away from home, unless you adopt
Mr.. Whistler's plan. He carries a sup
ply in his waistcoat pocket, and if one
deserts him replaces the rambler from
this reserve stock"

How Stamps Are Distributed.

When a postmaster wants stamps he
makes out q blank requisition upon the
p~ostoffice department here. But the de-
partment does not send back the stamps
iii return. 1t simply communicates with
the government stamp agent i'll New
York city, who has charge of the bust.
ness of distributing Uncle Sans stamps.
The stamp agent draws every day upon
the American Bank Note company for
as many stamps as he requires to fill the
orders transmitted to him from Wash
ington. He receives the stamps-so
many million two cent, SO many million
one cent and so on-from the bank note
company in bulk, and it is his business
to see that they are done up in packages
according to orders and mailed to the
postmasters requiring them. Postal
cards are distributed in like manner by
an agent at Birmingham, Conn.,, where
they are manufactured by the firm
which has the contract. Another agent
at Hartford distributes the stamped ell
velopes, which are made in that CITY,

One Source of Railway Accidents.

One Source OF Railway Accidents.
A failway accident happened recently
which might have been prevented if a
conductor had applied the power brake.
which was at his command, instead Of
putting on the hand brake. Conductors
have got so into the habit of thinking
that they must pull the bell rope when
it Is necessary to make an emergency
stop that they are likely to forget that
the immense power of the air brake Gun
be applied from the car MS we'll as from
the engine. Even with q pneumatic or
electric connection with the engine,
which is 80 much surer and quicker than
a bell rope, there is a theoretical advan-
tage In applying the brake direct from
the passenger car, for there is only one
operation to be performed instead Of
two, as when the engineer has to act
after being signaled by the conductor.
Where the conductors valve is made
accessible from any point in the car by
means of n cord running the whole
length this advantage is certainly appre-
ciable in every case. AS the necessity
of making an emergency stop comes up
very frequently in the experience of
conductor OF brakeman there would
seem to be no certain way of changing
their mental habits in this respect ex
cept by putting them through a course
of training, on the same principle that
shopmen are trained to respond to an
alarm of fre.-Railroad Gazette.

Danger in Diphthcrla,

The public needs to understand more
fully than as yet it seems to do that
diphtheria does not come, like influenza
for instance, in the air, but that every
case is from u previous case, and that
thorough isolation and d%isinfection
would in time stamp out the disease az
completely as a noxious weed would be
killed out by the destruction of all its
seed.
In its early stage diphtheria is not
readily distinguished from an ordinary
sore throat. For this reason every case
of sore throat in a child, especially at a
time when diphtheria is prevalent,
should be looked upon with a degree Of
suspicion, enough at least to prevent
the communication of what may prove
to be the dreaded disease. 1t should be
kept in mind, also, that children with
sore Threats and nasal catarrh are pc
culiarly susceptible to Infection
