VENTILATION OF ROOMS.
The Necessity of Supplying a Constan
Change OF Air.

The Necessity of Supplying a Constant
Change OF Air.
To offset the constant exhalation of
organic matter from the skin, as well
as from the lungs, occupied rooms should
be so arranged as to allow constant
change of the air contained in them.
To meet this condition properly, an exit
for- ai., we'll s.-s an. i..lot, sho1ld bo
provided.
A fireplace is perhaps an ideal outlet,
as it has constant draught which as
sures an outgo of considerable power.
AS for test of the quality of air-its
purity or impurity-nature has pro-
vided us with q most useful one, and in
all ordinary cases the only necessary
one, in the sense of smell. II this sense
is offended by the characteristic "stale"
odor of an ill-ventilated room there Is
no appeal from its verdict, no matter
how many ventilators may be in opera
ton. This test, it should be stated, can
be applied only by the olfactories of
one just entering a room from the out
side.
We have heard from the lecture plat
form advice delivered to an intelligent
body of students in preparatory
school as to just how far the windows
of the sleeping apartment should be
raised each night to assure u wholesome
air to the occupant. The distance given
was exact, no allowance being made
for variations of temperature, wind or
weather. A single window opened at
both top and bottom, but at distances
varying according to the temperature,
the presence or absence of winds, etc,
is a suitable provision for ventilation.
1t is safe to say that If the air IN any
room seems as pure to person enter
ing it from out of doors as the outdoor
air itself, that air is well fitted for
breathing; such, at any rate, it should
always be, and such should be the test
applied by an intelligent observer.
With such an ideal before US, no hard
and fast rule is called for. With this
ideal in view, and with the homely
quality of common sense in exercise,
1t is well also to remember the follow
ing facts:
temperature ranging from sixty-five to
seventy degrees; a guard, be it OF the
most primitive construction, should be
between n draught and ourselves; the
air Is not necessarily impure when
warm, nor pure when cold; the smaller
n room is, and the more occupants 1t
has, the oftener should the air be re-
newed.
In places of crowded assembly, such
as theaters, churches, schools, it is the
exception to find proper system of
ventilation, and hence attendance upon
such gathering should be offset by
plenty of outdoor exercise.-Youth's

Several hours passed before there was
any abatement in the storm, and then
when Dick did not make his appearance,
her an xiety about the safety of herself
and baby gave way to dread concern
ing his fate. While the wind shrieked
and the snow fell in binding sheets,
she comforted herself that he was snug
ly housed in the village beyond. but
when he did not come in n reasonable
length of time after the storm had sub
sided she became greatly alarmed, and
over and over again wandered down the
drifted lane calling wildly for him to
come back. At last, almost in despair.
she made her way to the cabin of her
nearest neighbor, who, with quick
western sympathy, went at once TO
rouse some of the villagers to aid in the
search. He found out that Dick had
started for home some time be-
fore the blizzard struck the town,

'Such question to ask on the very
eve of my bridal day, )" laughed Ruby. 81
sincerely hope you do not think me that
fcl<le, my dear conscientious aunt"
II never thought you tickle, Ruby;
but the question with me is, do you love
this man you are going to wed well
enough to give up all the comforts and
pleasures of your fathers house for his
sake? In my eyes it is no small sacri-
fee to forsake the companionship of
tried friends and go off hundreds of
miles to make home for n stranger in
the wilderness" replied Aunt Rachel,
in n respondent voice.
But, Aunt Rachel, you must remem-
ber that Dick Walton is no stranger to
me. We have known each other all
our lives Ruby returned, brightly.
when you are acquainted with him
you will not wonder that count it no
sacrifice to give up so much for his
sake. He is the best man in the
world"
''It is right that you should think so,
at least" laughed her aunt "But, Ru-
by, it will require great deal of love
to make up for all the comforts and
conveniences of your pleasant home.
You have not been accustomed to the
hardships of frontier life, and it will
require more courage than you antici-
pate to begin housekeeping as your
grandmother did more than half u CEN
tury ago."
"Any place where Dick lives will be
home to me-" insisted Ruby, little pet
ulantly.
"What will you do with all these fine
things in little two-roomed cabin?"
questioned Aunt Rachel, with a wave
of the hand in the direction of the table
loaded with handsome wedding pres
ents.
Pack them away in the closet until
we are able to build a house suitable
for their display" was Ruby's quick
response. "The truth is, aunt, people
make great mistake in giving such
presents. Why don't they show good
common sense in selecting suitable
gifts for a western bride?"
People do many foolish things in
connection with weddings" admitted

An Old Soldiers Death.

Baron Gemmineen, lieutenant field
marshal and inspector general of the
Austrian cavalry, who died at his home
in Gutleberg, Austria, two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half century.
When, on the afternoon Of his death,
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two more to live, the old man
sat ND in bed and called to his military
attendant in the next room. The soldier
came. Bring my parade uniform, "
commanded the general. The uniform
was brought. ''Now put it on me. "
The order was obeyed, while the old SOL
der gasped heavily for breath.
"Have Fritz send in broiled chicken,
bottle of Sec, and an imported cigar. "
The order was filed, and the tray was
laid on the generals bed. He ate q
little and drank much. He lighted the
cigar. He smoked it half down without
taking it from his mouth. AS he re-
moved it to knock off the ashes, the end
came. He sank back with the cigar
still between his fingers, and died before
it went out.-New York Sun.

IF ! COULD kNOWl

II could know; ah, mel If could know
That for the space
OF one brief moment, in the long ago
You gave me place
Above all other women In your heart,
It would not be so hard from you to part
II could know you hold me dearer yet
Than any one,
And that you nevermore would quite forget
The bright days gone,
1would be more content, and courage gain
In time, perhaps, to live down all the pain.
III could know you feel regret today
To see me turn
Away from you and go my weary way,
Then / would learn
10 find, perhaps, some comfort In the thought,
So full Of saddest consolation fraught.
II could know that at some future tide
We two should meet,
And hnger for a moment side by side
In converse sweet,
would not dread this parting as do,
For hope would trim the light of love for you
II could know that when this life Is DER.
In that bright Land
Where all is peace, our souls should meet
once more,
And understand
Each other better than in days gone by,
would be more than satisfied to die.

An Historic Communion Gun.

An interesting relic connected with
the ecclesiastical history of the state has
been recovered within few days in the
town of Lyme. It is a pewter COM
munion cup, bearing date of 1887. 1t
was brought to this country two centu-
ries ago by the Pilgrim family which
settled in New London county. For
nearly fifty years this curious relic has
been lost sight of, the descendants of
its original owners not knowing of its
whereabouts. In 1910 it was in the pos
session of Thomas Pilgrim, who was at
that time eighty-seven years of age and
a pensioner of the Revolutionary war.
Thomas Pilgrim entered the service in
1776 for three years in one of the Con-
necticut regiments and was also one of
the volunteers for the defense of New
London in the war of 1912.
One of the last of this old pensioners
descendants in the male line, James Pill
grim, died in Hartford in 1888. He was
man of marked inventive genius. Two
daughters survive him, one of whom,
Frances Ella Pilgrim, was the originator
of the idea of displaying the national
flag in the school rooms and buildings
throughout the state. She is q grad
uate in the state normal school and a
teacher in Stoughton. The family will
endeavor to regain possession of the an
cient relic that has just been found n

organs concerned exhibit a tendency 10

dangerous maladies as Bright's disease and

A Lady's Experience.

A lady recently was heard to relate an
experience, the moral of which should
sound warning. She was an excellent
customer at q leading store, and when
ever she entered it her attention was
called to this or that by the floor walker
and seldom without good results. One
day she approached this man and asked
for some tribute in behalf of one of the
city's worthiest charitable objects in
which she was much interested. Her
appeal was received coldly. The man
demurred at the frequency of such re.
quests, and finally, most reluctantly and
ungraciously gave her fifty Japanese
napkins. The lady went away chagrined
at the changed manner of her formerly
affable, not to say gallant, tradesman.
Upon reflection she concluded to take
her patronage elsewhere. She has since
declined to solicit contributions for any
cause whatever, but she gives Of her own
time and means literally. When asked
to do anything in the way of charity
begging she tells the above story, and
the store and its representative are get

A wealthy Kleptomaniac.

A short time ago, according to a lew
eler. q wealthy woman bought a dia-
mond brooch at his store, and firing
of it after few months wear. sent it
back to be worked into different shape.
One diamond was to remain over and be
returned loose with the brooch. The
woman's orders were carried out, and
diamond and brooch, securely wrapped,
given into her hands by trustworthy
emnlovee. Hardly had the man returned
from the Grand, when the woman tele-
phoned that the loose diamond was miss
ing. The ieweler was dumfounded. The
messenger declared he had given the
package to the woman just as he had
received it from the jeweler. His en-
plover believed him, but he could not
bring himself to suspect the woman.
He thought she might have dropped the
stone while unwrapping the parcel, and
suggested that explanation. But the
woman was positive that no diamond
was in the parcel when she received it.
There was only one thing to do, and
that was to make up the loss. This the
jeweler did, but his suspicious were now
aroused and he determined to be watch
full. 1t was not a great while before the
woman came to the store with another
piece of work. She had a diamond
which she was going to send down to be
set in breastpin. In a few days the
diamond came, and judge of the jewel
er's surprise when he recognized, by a
peculiar flaw, the very diamond he had
returned with the brooch. The jewel
er's course was quickly taken. He sin
ply kept the diamond. The woman has,
tacitly acknowledged her guilt, for,
though this happened several years
ago, she has never had the courage to
claim it--Louisville Courier-J Journal.

The True Artist,

Henry Norman gives the following
instance of modest self estimate in thu
case of man who is one of the most
skillful and original artificers in the
world, and whose works are everywhere
admired:
This ivory carver sat in his little room,
open to his little garden, chiseling upon
a magnificent tusk, from which was
just emerging very graceful female
figure. The ivory he held between his
knees, and the tools were spread out at
his side.
"How long will this take your" |
asked.
About four MONTHS" he replied.
And what is the proportion between
the value Of the material and the value
of the labor in such work as this when
completed?"
II paid $40 for this piece of ivory
said he, and four months work, at SO
a month, is $780,"
And this man was estimating his work
at less than forty American dollars II
month! His was the true artists tenn
permanent, for he was willing to accept
only what would supply him with the
necessaries of life, depending for his
actual reward on the joy of seeking to
do perfect work.
"Are you not very sorry sometimes,
asked l, "to part with one of these works.
that have been companions and a part
of your life for SO long?"
He looked up for minute at great
white lily nodding above him in the
garden, and then gently shook his head.
NO" he said. Il expect the next to
be more beautiful still"
