AIRING Room. nefore net,r,ng

Persons of the boarding fraternity
who occupy during the evening the
same room in which they sleep, will
do well to observe the simple pre-
caution of a thorough airing just be
fore bedtime. Two or three gas
burners will in a couple of hours
completely exhaust the pure air of a
large room, and the mere lowering
of a window from the top, with nc
cross draft, will not restore the oxy.
gen with sufficient promptness.
The process is slow by this means,
and the sleeper will probably get a
headache for the morning, or bad
dreams at least, before it is accom-
plished. Set door and window wide
open, turn off all burners save one,
and that to a star, and let the air
sweep through for fifteen minutes.
Then the room, with the window
slightly lowered and raised, will be
suitable to sleep in.-New York
Times.

all the advantages of an ideal sub

Used varnish Instead of Oil.

One of Doylestown's expert car
penters, having an unusually tough
piece of timber to cut, put on his
saw an extra greasing of what he
supposed to be fine oil. He found il
to be the toughest job he ever under
took, and finally the saw came to a
halt and refused to bulge. Remov-
ing the saw the carpenter found he
had used varnish on it instead of oil.
The joke was on the carpenter. =

An Important Decision Regarding Manu-
factured Cotton Articles.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Actlng Secre-
tary Spsulding has informed customs
officers that hemstitched cotton hand
kerchiefs are dutisble at the rate Of 35
per cent ad valorium. This is in ac-
cordance with recent decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
of New York IN the case of the United
States VS.. II. B. Clatlin q Co.,
the Court holding that hemmed hand
kerchiefs were manufactured of cot
ton. The Treasury Department di-
rected that the excess OF the duty paid
the difference between 10 per cent
and 50 per cent ad valorium-be re-
turned to Clatiin & Co.
The Treasury Department has rem
dered an important decision over ruling
its former action as 10 the standard
which shall govern IN deciding what
constitutes "anthracite" and ''bitumen-
Gus" coal. Heretofore coal containing
minimum of 90 per cent of carbon has
been classed as anthracite coal and
when more as bitumenous coal. TINS
MINIMUM has now been reduced TO SS
per cent of carbon, to be classed ss an
thracite coal. The importance of this
decision is seen when It is stated that
bitumenous coal Is subject, when i'm
ported, TO q duty of 75 cents per ton
and anthracite coal is admitted free OF
duty.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l4.-Prvate Secre-
tary Halford was shown the dispatch
from Attleboro, Mass, in reference to
the controversy between Representa-
tive Morse and Mrs. Cougar, in which
his (Halford's) name is used. He said
a cursory reading of the telegram
would indicate that his name had been
used by Mr.. Morse rs authority for
the statement that 81 500 has been
paid the prohibltlonists by democrats.
HIS connection with the matter related
only TO the assertion that Mrs. Gouger
had supported the democratic ticket
In Indiana. Representative Morse had
asked him IL such was the case and he
had referred the inquiry 10 the secre-
tary of the republican central commit
tee of Indiana. That gentleman had
responded that the statement was cor
rect and his reply had been forwarded
by him (Halford) to Mr.. Morse. The
said 81 300 story, Mr.. Halford said, he
believed referred TO an incident IN
Massachusetts politics and OF course be
