Ventilation.

There are many things to be taken into
consideration in ventilating a room for
sleeping hours. First of all, it is impor-
tant that the value of fresh air should be
recognized. But there are other things to
be considered. The physical condition of
the sleeper is one of the things to be dwelt
upon. All cannot bear the same amount
of outer air or the same temperature
If the admission of fresh air during the
night renders the sleeper uncomfortably
cold, its object is defeated. To obviate this,
light, warm bed clothing is necessary. In
any case there must be no discomfort from
cold 1t is well known fact that animals
must be warmly housed In order to thrive
in cold weather. and this is true in even
greater measure of human beings. Better
no night ventilation than the misery at
tending excessive cold. But 1t Is possible
to combine warmth with fresh air, and
that is to be the end sought. Woman

The Sunshiny Woman.

A man likes cheerful, optimistic wom-
an, though he may strive with all his
might to convert her to pessimism. Yet,
for all that, tho ready made cynic in wom-
ans form shocks him.
However erroneous the idea, man re-
CARDS woman as "the sunlight of life' and
expects her TO drive away malarial mists
from his mind and shadows from his heart
by her warmth and light. Though she is
accomplished talented and beautiful, she
will lose ground with the opposite sex if
she is cynical or sad. Every man likes to
create his own pessimist; he does not wish
to find one,
AS a rule, men like an accomplished and
bright woman rather than talented one
and entertaining and amusing qualities
rather than markedly intellectual ones -

Biting the Lips.

The lip biting habit will mar the pretti-

Care of the Hair.

Physicians who have made scalp diseases
a special study are now terrorizing the fair
sex by announcing that dandrnff is con-
tagious. They claim that this disease is
contracted and circulated in many ways
and that 1t is easily caught. One way is
to lean ones head against upholstered
furniture and soiled tides, especially in
travelling and public places, Another way
is by trying on hats belonging to people or
In selecting new one at the milliner's or
hatter's. AS 1t Is necessary to try on hats
in order to got one that is becoming, a
rubber cap, like bathing or dust cap,
may DO put on over the hair.
The dandruff loosens itself from the
scalp, lies lightly OH the hair and oven
falls off on to the clothing. In case of CON
tact with another substance, or head, it
olings to that, and If 1t is another head an
other crop of dandruff is likely TO DO begot-
ten. If the head is in healthy condition
and is well taken care of tho disease germs
can often be shaken out and no harm Is
done. Therefore 1t behooves one to keep
the hair in good condition. Exchange

MISCELLANY.
In the Glover,

Soft Is the rosy flush around me;
Deep in the clover here lie;
Under, the arms of Mother Nature,
over, the infinite arch of sky.
Trees are tossing their branches around me,
Shadows are stretching the fields along;
Over the heads OF the waving barley
Comes the sound of the reaper's song
Thrush and bluebird soar above me,
Robin and jay peer In at my bower,
And brown bumble.bee, life all before him,
Sits all alert on a cardinal flower.
Far away stretch the fields of clover,
Brown in the shadow, red in the sun;
Dat fields toss in the billowy distance;
There's fringe of willows where waters run
Labor calls in the sharp scythe swinging
Down in thedepths Of the meadow glooms;
But lotus and balm and sweet nepenthe
Are all in the breath of the clover blooms.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Boy in the Library.

Alas, what ruin has he wrought
In learnings dim domain,
Invader of the realms of thought
And leveler of the bran
How did he gain the library key
And scale the topmost shelf
To batter Dante's bust, to be
Lambs butcher-by himself?
My Milton shows an inky mark,
A page Is missed from Moore,
And Chaucer from his corner dark
Has tumbled to the floor
And Baxter-he of sanity Rest"
And meditation deep
Brought from the regions of the blest,
Lies in the tousled heap.
Sage treatises on ancient Creek
And dissertations long,
And soul enchanting love lays, speak
Promiscuous from the throng.
From corners drear sadly hear
Old Duncans dying groans;
A handouts gone from Hamlet's hair,
And Banquo suns his bonesl
Then in the rare and classic wreck
see the tyrant's form;
His arms are round his mothers neck
refuge in the STORM
And as his rosy lips meet mine
And showery ringlets fall
A world of Shakespeare I'd resign
His kiss is worth them all

To Lace Shoes Correctly.

Few women lace their shoes correctly.
About the nearest anybody gets to 1t Is to
lace as tightly as possible. The correct
way is to put your foot as much as pos
sible in the heel of your shoe when you
are about to lace it, The best way to do
this is to rest the heel of your shoe on
chair standing in front of you. Over the
instep it should be laced as tightly as pos
sible This will hold your foot back in the
shoe, give your toes freedom and prevent
their being oramped. Lace about your
ankle to suit your comfort. Exchange
