PROPER ARTIFICIAL HEAT.
Some Of the Things to Be Considered In
Warming a Room or House.

Some of the Things to Be Considered In
Warming n Room or House.
In providing ourselves with artificial
warmth It is not sufficient TO regulate
the amount according to our personal
feelings. Other things must be con-
sidered. For example, persons in
crowded hall viii variously criticise
the heating of the room. To some It
viii be "suffocating;" others will make
objections If there is anywhere an
opening through which fresh air may
be admitted TO the room. These
idiosyncrasies must be attributed part
~, il not wholly, to the effect Of ''crowd
poison" upon different systems. To
persons in weak,n,d condition an
impure atmosphere Afv be just as
agreeable as one Wi III is over
heated; and as they expert
ence no symptoms Of nervousness or
uneasiness, they can not appreciate the
necessity for new supply of air. On
the other hand, persons of robust ma
lures, no; able to Withstand the lack Of
the customary supply of oxygen, fume,

never be obnoxious 10 anyone. The
harvester, laboring under the hot sun,
perspires freely, and may safely be said
to feed the heat somewhat. Yet he does
not appear TO lose strength under its
influence. Some would say that IL might
be good for many weakened persons If
their systems could enjoy the similar
advantages of a quicker circulation
without prostration.
In providing artificial beat we should
remember two important things-that
ID should be as pure as we can
make it, and that il should
never be obtained at the expense
of the atmosphere that imme-
diately surrounds US. With these
facts in mind we shall be led 20 give
our sanction preferably to the old
fashioned fireplace, which creates a
continual current up the chimney,
compelling a change OF old air for new;
and secondly, 10 the modern improved
furnace, which passes into the room

ing-air which Is changed from cold 10

Especially TO be deplored is the heat

is no fresh oxygen supplied, but that

The Russian newspapers recently

A Veteran Conductor on INC whlms Of
Passengers.
No one but the experienced passen-
ger conductor knows just how whimsi-
cal and cranky the travelling public
really Is A traveller may have some
peculiar fad or notion when he Is on
the road, but he never dreams that
there are thousands of others just like
him, or perhaps worse. In years Of
experience the conductor rubs elbows
with all sorts Of people, and in spite
OF himself becomes mind and face
reader who takes back seat for no
one except the professional.
"Yes, travellers are superstitious and
cranky said a veteran knight Of the
punch recently in response to a
query. 81 think the average passen-
ger conductor deals with more oddities
daily than the curio collector of a
freak show. AS to superstition, |
think there is more of IL crops out
on trains than anywhere else. Last
week, Just as the train was ready to
pull out for Chicago. a well-dressed
man came out Of the coach on the
platform, and in an agitated manner
asked me what day it was.
II told him IL was Friday, and with
out another word he re-cntered the
coach and in moment returned with
his luggage, and by way of explanation
stated that henever began journey on
Friday, and would wait until the next
morning That is only a sample. The
much-mooted unlucly thirteen is per-
haps the cause Of more worry and in
convenience TO tourists than any other
sign which they deem of ill-omen. l
have known passengers to begin at
the head of the train to see If tie.
could find number thirteen anywhere.
"If the engine happened TO be thir-
teen they would resignedly wait for
The next train. and II they succeeded
in finding number thirteen on any of
the coaches they would hold up their
hands in holy horror have seen pas
sengers refuse TO ride in a coach which
held thirteen passengers, and II you
will ask any ticket man he will tell
you that of all sections in n sleeper
thirteen is the most difficult to dispose
of.
"Then aside from the superstitions
which prevails among the travelling
public there are coun tless passengers
who are cranky, and II they lose a
chance TO kick are in a bad humor for
a week afterward. They kick for a
seat in the center OF the coach; kick
because the train goes too slow or too
fast; kick because they are in the
draught, or because it Is too hot.
And the worst OF il all is that when
they kick / am the individual who is
called up TO hear them, as II were re-
sponsible for the whole business.
About the only time when some fell
lows don't kick is when they are on
their honeymoons. Everything goes
on as smoothly as If it had been or
dered so, but let the same men ride on
the same train five years later and the
chances are they win kick themselves
into exhaustion. Pittsburgh Post.
