Thorough Ventilation Of sleeping Rooms.
All persons spend more or less time IN
their sleeping rooms. As 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 healthful
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 well ventilated. provided one
sleeps warm, being well protected by an
abundance Of cover The desire of q
well 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 removes all the human i'm
purities which have collected during
slumber
Two or three hours at the least should
be allowed every day for 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 day.
There is an old exploded notion that it
is better to sleep in cold room. Given
a good ventilation, fire In a sleeping
room in cold weather is healthy. Cold
bed chambers imperil health and invite
diseases. The old, the infsntile and the
frail should sleep in moderately warm
rooms in cold weather. provided with
ample ventilation - Cor. Home Maya

comprising a company of some twenty-five
performers, including some of the best
colored comedians, musicians, vocalists,
and dancers on the American stage, will
open at the Crawford Grand opera house
tonight for two night engagement.
The press and public everywhere speak
of this company as a clever one from

throughout.
Many bright and novel features have
been included since their last appearance
here including an entire new first part

John Dillon and his excellent company

Grand for three nights. commencing next

the comedy in which he Is now starring.
has been seen here to a good advantage.
1t Is a clever satire on the fashionable fol-
lies of the day. Ii is a chapter taken from
the life of J. D. Smith, Yankee farmer
who catches the society fever from his
summer boarders, sells his farm. goes to
New York, speculates, becomes rich, and
enters ''sassiety' as he terms it. Here he
aspires to be a leader under the name Of
Jayson De Smyth. He engages his son 20
a charming young widow, and himself 10
a scheming old widow. His son jilts his
betrothed for a former servant and Mrs
Van Doodle gives De Smythe, ST., his
congo" for her parrot. All parties meet
unexpectedly in a Canadian restaurant,
which unknown to them is kept by young
De Smyth and his wife. Here the fun be-
comes fast and furious until worked up 10
an uproarious climax. Every one sees
things in their true light at last and all
are happy.
Mr.. Dillon is a veteran actor, but still
skips around with as much grace and
humor as in the days when he was Chi
cago's great and only favorite. II was
there he began his career as an actor and
there a few years after he first jumped into
fame. He stands today uneqJalled in his
peculiar line Of comedy.
