aired. This should never be allowed.
The covering should first be stripped
back over two chairs set ut the foot Of
the bed. The mattress should then b.
doubled so that the air may get to all
parts of it and left so for from half IN
hour to an hour. In very severe winter
weather the time may be lessoned. Each
piece of bedclothing should be well
shaken before it is restored to its place,
and the pillows beaten and pattcd into
shape. The white spread. that should
have been removed at bedtime the night
before and neatly folded, is now fresh
and smooth.
The bed is not all that needs close
care in the sleeping room, The busting

suspect. Accommodations of fluff and

utensils be summed, if possible Shoes ana
other articles of apparel should not be
left lying about the room to gather dust
and look untidy. Soiled clothes should
never be left in the sleeping room. They

Miss Bella T. Hope, the "rattlesnake
belle of the Alleghanies, with three
young lady companions and two young
men went to pick berries in the noun
tains the other day. Atnoon. while eat
ing luncheon, they witnessed a desper-
ate fight, few hundred feet distant,
between q wild cat and q rattlesnake.
After few minutes of fighting the cat
went at the snake with teeth and claws
and literally tore IL into shreds. A mo-
ment later, from out of every crevice in
the surrounding rocks, other rattlers
began to crawl, until the ground seemed
perfectly alive with them. Two Of the
ladies tainted, while the men decided
to take French leave Not so with Miss
Hope. fastening nearer, she took de.
liberate aim through the brush and
fred, with the first shot laying low the
cat and couple of snakes. Then, com.
ing from her hiding place, accompanied
by the young men, they began a fusil.
lade OH the snakes, with the result that
in % minutes not live snake was t.
be seen, but the ground was strewn
with dead reptiles. When IL was deemed
safe to venture near, q count was made,
and AZ rattlers, in size from 4 to 8 feet
inches In length, were found. together
with the dead catameunt. Exchange.

A Boston newspaper has turned what is
probably termed its searchlight on Brock
ton, and presents a picture Of life said to
be found there that is not approved of by
the press of the condemned city. The es-
teemed Brockton Enterprise energetically
refers to It's Boston contemporary ~ fol-
lows:
"Any paper willing to 80 degrade journal
ism to serve its own ends and rake In a few
extra coppers Is welcome TO them so far as
the decent majority of newspapers Is con-
cerned. The field Is not one that the average
editor or reporter cares to cultivate. There
Is still some honor and decency left In the
world. But IL is too bad that an anonymous,
irresponsible newspaper hack should have
the power placed In his hands to do such
widespread advertising of city and its In
habitants as the nth hunter of the Traveller
has accomplished In this case"
Revelling In sewers appears to have be-
come the summer delight of some news
papers that commend themselves for fur
nishing their readers with news appropri-
ate to the home circle.
