ALWAYS UNHEALTHY.
The Sleeping of Two Persons Together in
the Same Bed.

The Sleeping of Two Persons Together in
the Same Bed.
Persons often ask: us it healthful
for two persons to sleep in the same
bedP" This same question is varied
thus: lis it healthful for an aged
and very young person to sleep to-
getherP If not which suffers most.
the aged or the young person." We
have often answered these questions.
says Good Health, by saying no to the
first question. 1t is always unhealthy
for two persons to sleep together in
the same bed and under the same
cover The air under the bed covers
Immediately surrounding the body Of
the sleeper is exceedingly impure, be-
coming more and more impregnated
with poisonous substances escaping
through the %eycretory glands of the
skin from the moment the person re-
tires until he arises The odor of the
bedclothing, after having been occu-
pied for a night, is often positively
offensive to the nostrils of
a person with an unimpared
sense of smell-especially one
who has just come in from
outdoors where the fresh, pure air
has been breathed. The poisonous
character of this under the bedclothes
air would be somewhat more likely
TO affect the susceptible constitution
of a child than that of an adult. In
elderly persons the amount OF the i'm
purities in the air surrounding the
sleeper must be greater than in
younger persons; consequently. while
both persons would be more or less
injured. the proportion of harm would
doubtless be greater to the young
person than the person of more ad-
vanced years. Mr.. Treves of the
London hospital has called attention
to the fact that wounds. especially Of
the lower limbs. heal much sooner
when exposed to the open air instead
OF being covered by b%edclothing. He
remarks that the air under the bed
clothing is foul and almost hot, and
hence likely to be very harmful to
wounds with which it may come in
contact. ,

GREELEY IN GOOD SOCIETY.

He Once Dined In q With q Prince, q
Count and q Baron.
When Horace Greeley visited Paris
In 1856 he was the victim of a mis-
take that caused him to spend a night
behind the bars of the debtors prison
Of the Rue de Clichy. A French
sculptor had sen a statue for exhibit

York, of which Mr.. Greeley was
one OF the managers; the statue had
been returned in an injured condition.
and the sculptor took this method
OF causing MIR. Greeley's arrest to re-
cover damages. A friend of Mr..
Greeley. Mr.. Field. went TO the prison
the next morning. When he entered

prisoners and their friends were as

One of the most infamous incidents
of the campaign for the g~ubernatoIial
nomination in Missouri occurred in
Platte county.
Just before the convention il was SO
apparent that Gibson would have the
delegation that Col. Dalton Withdrew
from the contest asking his friends to
unite with the seeming majority and let
Gibson have the county.
At this iuneture a new thing came
into play. This was in the shape of
an unsigned circular, bearing the Ne
vada post mark, and stating that
Judge Gibson had voted for Warner
for congress in 1884. This circular
was discreetly and secretly passed
around, but too late for the denial
which was promptly made of the infa-
mous lie. The result was Col j. w.
Stone got the delegation.
Judge Gibson has offered fifty-dollars
reward for the name of the scoundrel
who issued the circular, and the demo-
cratic party Is anxious to know in
whose interest it was circulated.

ENGLISH CONSERVATISM.
The ..Old Fogyism" Existing Amon
HuSiueSs Man

The "old FogyiSm" ENisting Among
business Men.
The London correspondence of a
New York business house writes as
follows: 'As an instance of the con-
servatism which exists in almost every
department of business in London, we
will tell you of u visit n of our
statesmen made yesterday to a firm of
solicitors in Essex street, Strand. In
the conversation with one oil the
junior members of the firm, who is the
great-grandson of one of the former
partners, our representative was in
formed that the firm had been in
existence for " two hundred years
and that they were now using the
same forms and doing the business in
the same way hat they did two
hundred years ago. and that most of
their clerks were the grandsons and
great grandsons OF former clerks. and
that they kept the same old families
in the business. and il was only about
three years ago hat the younger
members OF the firm were able to
prevail upon the senior partner to
introduce gas into their Offices. Prior
to that time they used candles. When
1t was finally decided. in spite of tho
senior. that gas should DO introduced.
he solemnIy declared that thoy were
going to the devil fast Soon after
speaking tubes were introduced from
n floor to another. This was tho
last straw. the old man could not
stand it any longer and died. This
junior partner. who himself states
that they have use for three type
writer's. says that many Of their clerks
have been with them for fifty years
and hat it is part of tho perquisites
Of these men to take work home to be
done at night and that If typewriting
was introduced 1t would create such q
revolution as to destroy the peace and
happiness of all connected with the
Office. Naturally the clients of such
a firm as this are many Of them. quite
as conservative (the English word
for old fogy') as the firm themselves. "
Strange as it may seem. the English
man as an individual Is more conser-
vative than the English government,
for while English business houses. in
many instances still copy their bust
ness letters by hand instead OF with
the copying press. and use sand In
stead Of blotting paper. the several
departments of the English govern
ment do their work with typewriters
which they purchase in large num-
bers.

Congressman Harter, who has been
fighting the coinage of silver on the
grounds that it would flood the country
with cheap silver money, now opposes
the Stewart silver bill because it would
take the government three years TO coin
its stored bullion, amounting to about
76, 00O, 900 ounce If the government
could only coin 10000 900 ounces of

Early Rising.

Thousands of people have no choice
whatever about their hour of rising in
the morning. Later or earlier, that
hour is fixed for them by the require
ments of the Office, the shop, or the
CLASSROOM; by the timetable OF the
railroad; by the arbitration OF their
employers or the necessities OF their
employees. But in the eases manifold
where personal liberty is enjoyed, 1t
should not be thoughtlcssly restricted
simply because ofthc domestic tradition
that early rising deserves praise and
late rising blame. breakfast may often
be IL movable feast without materially
disturbing the routine of an ordinary
housekeeping day. Invalids, mothers
whose rest has been broken by teeth
ing babies, and, above all, lay rapidly
growing children, should have their
sleep out. Nature demands this, and
violence is done her when sleepy peo-
are rudely aroused from their beds.
Earlyto bed is the single safe prescrip-
to insure early to rise.
