Ventilation Of Closets.

Cupboards and closets, the, most
cherished objects Of the housewife.
while so great necessity in every
well ordered home, are more or less
open to the criticism of being recep-
tacles for close, foul mir. While it is
far from my intention to advocate the
banishment of such an essential part
of every house, there is certainly room
for the above complaint. Where clos
cts are poorly ventilated and are hung
with damp clothing, or garments satu-
rated with perspiration, the air of the
closet necessarily becomes very foul,
and most unwholesome and decided
ly unpleasant odor is impaired to the
clothing. When clothing is removed
from the person, instead of being re-
turned to its accustomed hook in the
closet, it should first be hung across a
chair or something else, until thor
oughly dried and aired. If all closets
were ventilated thoroughly and fre-
quently the close, unpleasant odor
characteristic of so many Of these
places would be unknown. - Western

Everybody is interested in love at
lair, admits the New York Sun, but
that of Miss Martin Morris and Mr..
Jack Simonson, of Oberlin, Kan, is a
new step in the evolution of law.
Morris VS.. Simonson rises to the dig
nifty of o precedent that will doubtless
be bound in calf and go down genera
tions as '10S Kansas" or under some
kindred classification. Miss Morris
and Mr.. Simonson were engaged, when
Mr.. Simonson moved to Oberlin.
There he met Miss Florence Gilett, a
school teacher, and sought to marry
her. Meanwhile his letters to Miss
Morris grew colder and finally ceased.
Mr.. Simonson then sought to have
conveyed to Miss Morris through his
sister that he no longer loved her, and
was going to marry Miss Gilett Miss
Morris Immediately packed her trunk
and, going to Oberliu, proceeded to
get out an injunction restraining Mr..
Simonson from marrying Miss Gilett.
This bold step on Miss Morris's part
has half paralyzed the bar of the
State. Nobody ever heard of such a
thing before. Miss Morris's lawyers
vainly tried to get her to bring a
breach of promise suit. That they
could handle, there being numberles'
precedents. Miss Morris would moi
be persuaded. What she wanted was
not damages, but her young man. No
having read Belzac, she says that i

PATIENCE.

Be patient Easy words to speak
While plenty llls the cup Of life,
While health brings roses to the cheek
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
Ofthose--I often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the sufferer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturihg agonies,
Only for one short hour Of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles In an endless train
Seem almost more than it can bear.
To feel the torture OF delay,
The agony Of hope deferred /;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is TO learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds are dark
And storm and danger veil the sky
Let fate and courage guide thy bark,
The storm will pass the port is nigh.
Be patient and the tide will tr1rn.
Shadows will flee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn
TO light us till our work is done.

BACTERIA is likely to be blamed
for the ills that flesh is heir to. Pro-
lessor Schenck now maintains that
what we call a "cold" is really due to-
these invisible pests. When one en-
ters cold room, after being heated,
says the Chicago Herald, the bacteria
flock to the warm body, and enter by
the open pores of the skin. Whatever
may be said of this hypo thesis he
seems to prove by experiment, that
bacteria in the neighborhood of warm
body move toward it.

A Denver (Col. special says "Tht
Supreme Court of Colorado has de-
cided that Bishop Warren, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, must
pay $780, 900 to Andrew NJ. Adams.

years and contains romance enough to

Bishop Warren came into possession
upon marrying Mrs, Tiff, widow of q
