There are many fairly-well educated
persons who can not understand that
ventilation does not necessarily mean
an open window or draught of wind,
and who would fancy themselves i'll
provided with pure air even in the best
ventilated rooms wherein these obiec-
tionable features were not certain evi
dence to eye and feeling that some
pure outside air was entering, "The
two ideas of wind and coolness form
the whole of the public care or knowl-
edge in. regard to ventilation.
There is also the incidental belief
that foul air rises, and that there
must be some means provided for let
ting 1t out. This idea takes concrete
form in the little whirligigs seen in SO
many office windows, and the tendency
towards opening windows at the top
on general principles The general
belief and tradition is to make hole
somewhere in the upper part of the
room, and then all foul odors, bad air,
and other improper things in the Mt
mosphere will quietly, and of their own
accord and free will, let themselves
out.
In these crude ideas we have practi-
cally all that the public knows or cares
about ventilation. In the actual prac-
tice of the individual there is no intel
ligent appreciation OF pure air, nor can
most people tell whether the air thev
breathe is fit for respiration. Even
people belonging to the educated
classes do not use the evidence of their
senses in regard to the quality of the
air in their houses.
1t is the duty of sanitary and ven
tilating engineers to educate the pub
lie up to higher plane as regards
ventilation; and in order to do this
there must be more general apprecia.

air and foul air from their own char

that attention must be given to meth

work has been accomplished the field

digest the fact that his wife had taken
his frequent illusions to the poorhouse
in earnest, and thought il she had to

its shelter at once. Who'd although
she would?" was question he asked
himself over and over as he took the

As he came back, he noticed the seal

to himself: at looks wus'n thought

She had taken him at his word.

Every shower that came over the hills
brought hurry and worry with 1t, for
she must take down everything hang
ing In the lean-to, and set pals in half
a dozen places in the attic, and the ear
pet in the end room had already been
taken up because the numerous wet
tings that II had received were spoil
ing it, and the brilliant colors were all
running together in one indistinguish-
able blur. =
The paint was all Off the house in
some places and fast coming off IN
others; in fact. the cottage was In II
state of peel all over, The neigh
bors had begun to speak about it, and
say to Malvina how nice it would look
painted In light colors. And down Mt
the sewing circle one lady had heard
that she was going to have her house
painted, and another asked 'if she'd
got to hev paintin' done this fallH'
When she returned from that meet
ing, she decided she would not attend
another till the house was either
painted or she could say with truth
that she expected it would be,
She had asked and asked John to
have 1t done, and for two years she
had asked in vain. First. John must
have n new barn, for "A mcrciful man
is merciful to his beast" and then he
must have a new binder, for it would
save half the time, and he would need
but one man.
In vain she told him the house
leaked, in vain she told of the peeling
paint, in vain she bcwaiied the new
rag carpet ruined by the dripping
water, and said how tired she was of
setting pals, and how afraid even to
go to the nearest neighbor for fear of
sudden shower and no one at home
to attend to it,
Now his last refusal was ringing in
her ears, and the poor woman, tired
out with the numerous cares of u
farmers wife, just sat down and cried
But II You think n woman's tears end
the matter, you are much mistaken
The tears are only the beginning.
When she wanted anything done,
John was always ready to start for the
poorhouse, and was quite sure that
anything laid out on the house, inside
or out, was only so many paving stones
on the road to the great, roomy old
farmhouse where the dozen or so poor
and crippled ones of the town were
cared for.
The first time she asked him timidly
II he didn't think the house needed
paint, he said: "Yes, | do, but we
should go TO the poorhouse if we got
everything we fancied."
When she wondered il he couldn't
have the roof patched, he said: "No,
he couldn't lay out nothiu' this wear,
for that binder had jest about swamped
him, an he calclated he'd have ter 90
ter the poorhouse if he KEEP on spend
in money"
She heard about the poorhouse till
she wns tired OF it, and one day when
she was out in the berry pasture, she
sat down and looked at the building
which could be seen in the distance
just over the hill, and, with a queer
feeling at her heart, she thought if she
did have to go to the poorhouse, it
