HEALTH CHAT.
The Proper Temperature of Our Rooms In
Winter.

Winter.
The shrewish winds of winter which
necessitate fires and closed doors bring
to the fore the Importance of giving
especial attention TO ventilation. Colds
and kindred ailments Of the winter sea-
son are not so much the result OF a
change from a heated TO a cold atmOs-
phere as from one that Is vitiated TO one
that is pure 1t is a well-knOwn fact
that diphtheria and other similar diseases
flourish In the winter time, and more
often than otherwise their victims are
those that are guarded from every
draught.
There are various contrivances for ven
tilating rooms, all Of which are more
or less expensive and a large majority
of them quite worthless. The best way
TO ventilate a house is by means OF open
fires However, open fires are not suf-
ficiently warm In winter, and there are
few houses that are provided with the
ideal heating arrangement Of modified
steam heat with CRATES. Lacking this,
and. indeed under any circumstances,
a sleeping room or sitting room should
be, so to put It, washed out with pure
air every day. Whatever the tempera-
ture outside, every window should be
opened and the outer air allowed TO pour
through il for from ten TO twenty min
utes each day. AS a rule rooms are kept
too warm No room should be kept
heated beyond a temperature of 6S de-
grees. The system of a person living
in a superheated atmosphere becomes
so vitiated that he shivers at the slight
est change and takes cold on the least
provocation.

which debars me. who share honestly and

citizens from participating in the benefits
of government; while this place is not
within the personal gift of the representa-

il embraces large territory outside of the

sire to state that ! am not and will not be

ssI'LL PUT YOU OUT ON PATRICK's DAY. =
"I don't understand you, Ned" said
Father Molyneux, who was now unable
to resist laughing.
sWell, SIR" continued Leblanc, sit
yen only consint, I'll manage it."
Surely you're not in earnest, Ned!'
asked the priest.
ssBegor, am, sir. I'll fix it so as he
can't answer the question, an with q
merry twinkle) we'll tell him afterward
that it was Saint Patrick prevented him
spakin."
ssWell, we'll! you are true Irishman,
Ned. But if you are really serious per-
haps can help you. But, tell me, if we
do this, Pratt will surely evict the
widow, and what provision can you
make for herr"
"Oh, never fear, sir; thought of that.
Why, of coorse, if Minnie marries me,
the ould womanu come to live with Us,
so that Pratt'll have no one to evict.
"But how will you silence him at the
weddingg'
"Oh, leave that to me, yer reverence.
ssVery we'll, Ned. Ill have talk
with Minnie, and if she's willing I'll do
what can for you."
Passaic City record., 1892-03-12

81 can't marry ye, Mr.. Pratt, SO plaze
don't come botherin me again. | can't
help it if ye put us out, and perhaps
some of the neighbors'n take care of us. !"
every well, girl. Very we'll 'Tis a
nice daughter you are to see your poor
old mother thrown upon the charity of
the neighbors.
.sHow dare you'll" cried Minnie. 81
can work for whatever little bite she
ates."
At this iuncture the widow Joined
them, and to her Pratt coldbloodedly
explained his terms-Minnie or eviction.
The poor woman's eyes filed with
tears. The terror of eviction bewildered
her, but the bargain was loathsome to
her Irish mothers heart and she said:
s'Give us time, sir!-a couple O days
an we'll see what we can do"
every well, ma'am! But reminder
that if Minnie doesn't marry me on Pat
rick's Day, out you go. I'll call again
tomorrow"
The two women went to their little
home heartbroken. Minnie now loathed
tlae man who claimed her for wife, but
she read the tortured heart of her moth
er; she feared that eviction might mean
death to her, and, crushing her own
agony, she said:
Mother. / think It's Gods will. I'll
marry him"
sWisha, God bless you, child. IT'S a
quare way he has O. maxim love, but
they say he's not so bad man as some
of the agents. An shure you'll always
have plinty. an I'll die in the ould
house."
Poor Minnie was unprepared for this
instant acceptance of her sacrifice, but
she loved her mother devotedly, and
burying her grief she next day prom
ised to become Mrs. Pratt.
The news few through the village like
q pestilence, carrying with it death to
the hopes of many an eligible young fell
low. But to Ned Leblanc it acted like a
sunstroke. The poor fellow was utterly
prostrated, and his mother declared to
more than one neighbor that she feared
his brain was affected.
So matters went on until st. Patrick s
morning. Then strange ray of hope
came into Ned's heart, and it was
the more strange because it was the
day that Pratt had fixed for Minnie to
sign her promise to marry him. But
the strategy of an Irish lover is pro-
verbal, and Ned OWNED peculiarly
original plan to win his love at the very
altar.
AS Father Molyneux's home was several
miles from Glengarriffe, and he was too
poor to enjoy the luxury of horse and
car, Ned drove over for him every Sum
day and holiday morning. And it was
during this drive that, on the Patrick's
morning in question, Ned unfolded to
him his love for Minnie and his plan to
win her from the agent.
Passaic City record., 1892-03-12

Sand why didn't you speak to her be
foreY asked the priest.
"Begor, your reverence, hadn't the
courage"
Father Molyneux laughed and said:
"And how do You propose to win her
from Pratt, Ned? If the girl likes him,
it isn't likely she'd give him up for your
'But know she doesn't like him, sir. +"
Chow do you knowY
"Wisha, can't tell ye, your rever-
ence; but as sure as the ould mare is in
front of us believe she hates him."
ssAnd I dare say, from the same rea-
soning, you believe she loves yourselfY
ssBegor, ye have it, sir. That's just it. +"
This amused the priest intensely, but
he was very much attached to both Min
ME and Ned, SO he inquired again:
"Well, what do you propose to do?'
81 was thinkin, sir, that whin your
reverence would ask the question, that ]
could answer it instead of Pratt"
Passaic City record., 1892-03-12
"Won't / though? It is an outrage"

fYou can't mind broken egg, Mr..
Pratt, )" interjected the widow, who had
now realized the situation, and who on
the whole felt pleased with the arrange
ments which Father Molyneux explained
to her. But Pratt was furious, and left
the cottage to procure his writ of evic-
ton and few bailiffs.
When he came back not vestige of
the wedding party was visible, nor of
the widows furniture. Ned and Maurice
Flynn had carts in readiness to remove
them, and to the agents intense mortifi-
cation he found, nailed to the door, a
piece of paper upon which was written:
ssSaint Patrick has taken Mrs. Regan
home. Goodby, Mr.. Pratt
Passaic City record., 1892-03-12

But he was looking for Minnie, and
soon that young lady made her appear
ance looking the very antithesis OF
bride elect. Her eyes were tear swol-
len, her face pale and disfgured from
sorrow.
Whats wrong with you, my child"
asked the priest. But poor Minnie
couldn't reply. She burst out crying,
and then the good priest knew that Ned's
suspicious were correct. And he said
to her:
"Come to the sacristy with me, Min
ME; I want to have a talk with you"
And still sobbing, she followed him.
When they arrived in this room, away
from the curious and gossiping neigh
bors, he said abruptly:
"Tell me, Minnie, do you love Ned
Lehane"
The poor girls white face became
crimson with bushes, but she did not
reply. -.
ssWhy don't you answer me, child?
Come, now, tell me everything. Do you
truly love Ned, and would you marry
him if it was SO arranged?
Timidly the young girl looked at him
through her great lashes, and she replied:
81 would, father"
Every well, child. He viii be at the
wedding. I don't know how he means
to do it; but don't be surprised if you
are made Mrs. Lehane instead of Mrs.
Pratt. And now go to mass, child, and
pray to Saint Patrick to help you.n
And then he blessed her, and Minnie
went out from the sacristy happier than
she had been for many day.
Minnie, fortified by the words of the
priest, signed the promise to marry him
that Pratt insisted upon, and on Easter
Tuesday the wedding was arranged to
take place.
At seven o'clock in the evening OF that
day Father Molyneux went to the
Widow Regan's house to tie the knot.
Pratt was beaming with delight. Min
ME was nervously happy in anticipation
of the event which the priest had limited
on Patrick's Day, and her good humor
pleased the bridegroom-expectant very
much. But Ned Lehane was also an in
vited guest, and SO was Maurice Flynn,
and these two young men were very
busy over the arrangement of strange
booking bundle that Maurice had hid
den under his greatcoat.
But now it was the time for action.
The priest had opened the book and
Minnie and Mr.. Pratt were hidden to
stand up beside him. All went on quite
smoothly until the priest came to the
part Of the service where he asks, ''Will
you take this woman for your lawful
and welded wife?" Suddenly Maurice
Flynn slipped hooped sack over Pratt's
head and shoulders and Ned Lehane an
swered 81 will" at the same time push
ing the bewildered Pratt out of the way
and standing beside Minnie.
There was a hum of astonishment
among the few onlookers. The agent,
unmindful of the ceremony, struggled
to free himself from the sack, but Fa-
ther Molyneux smilingly went on with
the marriage service, and when it was
over and just as he saluted Minnie as
Mrs. Leblanc, the sack flew from Pratt's
head, and to his intense rage he discov-
cred how he had been outwitted. But
he was most anxious to find the man
who covered him with the sack.
"Yerra," said Ned. 's'Twas Saint
Patrick covered We up. Don't be angry
with the saint, Mr.. Pratt.
ssrll make you sorry for this, Ned Lee
hane; I'll evict Mrs. Regan at once"
"Ah, don't" said Ned, brimful of
laughter.
Passaic City record., 1892-03-12

mine host told me the following romance
of two of his parishioners:
On the roadside, close to one of the
entrances to Roche's hotel, there is a
small cottage which at that time was
occupied by the Widow Regan and her
daughter Minnie. Minnie was the peas
ant belle of the district She had a SUI
perb figure, wondrous wavy brown hair
and, as the song says, "Irish skies were
in her eyes," From beneath great curl
ing dark lashes those blue-gray eyes of
hers shot many glance Of danger to
the hearts of Glengarriffe's swains.
Among the latter was Ned Leblanc,
the village carpenter and jaunting car
owner. He was manly fellow, but his
courage was an unknown quantity when
it came to making love to the fair Min
nie-to whom he was passionately de-
voted. Nor was our heroine unconscious
of Ned's affection. With true wom-
anly instinct she OWNED his love for
her, and for some reason Minnie re-
turned his affection in the same secret,
bashful manner.
There came suitor for Minnies hand
whose methods of lovemaking were
most unromantic. He did not WOO with
honeyed words and phrases. He knew
that he was unacceptable to her, but he
loved her with grasping, passionate
love, and he determined that she should
be his wife. He wooed her with gold in
one hand and writ of eviction in the
other. He was the agent of the estate,
and as Mrs. Regan owed two sshalf gales"
Zone years rent) and another would be
due on the twenty-fifth of March, he
said in cold, defiant manner that chilled
poor Minnie's heart:
'sIf you don't marry me, Minnie, I'll
put We out on Patrick's Day."
ssShure, ye can't do that, Mr.. Pratt,
for the rint won't be due till the twenty
fifth
"Can't though? have the writ in
me pocket now. my colleen"
And then he produced the document
and continued:
There it is; but if yen only say the
word, Minnie, I'll burn it. Shure, y'r not
sparkin with any man, an I'll give ye
fine, dacent home. Come now, don't
make me put ye out"

aThank your reverence" said Ned,
who, in an elysium of expectancy,
whipped up the old horse, and they soon
arrived at the chapel door.
Before the mass began Father Molly
neux went among his Pensioners, offer
ing them Saint Patrick's greeting, and
many chubby little son and daughter
of Erin delightedly handed "Fader
Molly-oo some shamyock." And as he
blessed those little children and spoke
kindly to their parents, Father Molly
neux, in his six feet three of genuine
good nature, looked the beau ideal of
taa good shepherd.
