THE HOME.
Some Practical Points For Healthfulness
In Heating and ventilating.

II
There are two helps to good and
healthful house atmosphere land fresh

and moisture. Ignorance Is apt to regard
everything outside of Its personal expert
ence as stupid "faddism," OF, more harsh
ly, ''crankism." So these suggestions are
addressed to the intelligent only. Dead
air, like dead wood, has but little heating
power. We have all endured the expert
enco of being in an atmosphere hot enough
to produce headache, yet feeling chilly.
That air was vitiated and dead and would
disgust even the ignorant i'm its analysis.
Ii is a perfectly simple matter to change
the air in any part of the house, and a
servant should understand the order
Change the air" in such and such rooms
as readily as to change the tablecloth for
dinner You have only to open wide doors
and windows for quick sweeping through
of fresh current from outside, and the
thing is accomplished. DO not open one
window to do it gradually, as the walls
and contents of the rooms become chilled
"a wasteful and uncomfortable result.
Literally "change the air, ;" and do it as
quickly as possible. You will find the plan
a great economy in heat, aside from the
benefits TO health and comfort. Many
houses are provided with arrangements
for continuous ventilation, but even in
these the quick, radical changes of air will
not come amiss. Fresh air heats up so
quickly, and its lightness and very percep-
tible freshness are most welcome.
Now as TO moisture, the other factor in
a healthful atmosphere, furnaces and
other cellar heating apparatus are usually
provided with arrangements for evaporat-
ing water, but from neglect to keep these |
filled or some other cause the air of fur |
mace heated houses is always dry, unless |
some special provision against such dry
ness has been made.
good plan is to put regular dripping |
pans beneath the registers, and no one but |
the person keeping these filed will credit |
the amount ovaporated daily therefrom
With steam heat open vessels filed with
water should be placed upon the radiators.
In handsomely appointed rooms brass YES
sells, as jardinieres or granite dripping
pans, with open fligree brass covers, made
Tor the purpose, may be provided. II ap-
pearances are not consideration, any por-
,elain lined pan will serve admirably

Self Reliance.

Henry Ward Beecher used to tell this
story of the way in which his teacher of
mathematics taught him to depend upon
himself.
Il was sent to the blackboard and went,
uncertain, full of whimpering.
That lesson must be learned, said my
teacher In very quiet Tone but with "a
terrible intensity. All explanations and
excuses no trod underfoot with utter
scornfulness. Il want that problem.

where Ready Money Is Scarce.

In the British settlement in the great
Chinese city Of Shanghai ready money
is practically unknown. After you have
had lunch at restaurant you calmly
get up and walk out without a thought
of payment in cash. Some time later in
the day coolie arrives at your residence
with tiny slip of paper-a "chit, " as
they call it-simply memorandum Of
the amount. You get shave at your
bEber's. The same system Is carried
out. You purchase newspaper or a
buttonhole bouquet, "chit" is the re-
suit. The very shoeblack does not ask
for coppers, but brings his bill at the end

or this amount SI,Uoo would be needed
to pay for the tuition of Johnston pupils
in the Providence High school. This

amendment appropriating SO 900 for the
district schools OF the town prevailed. A

cine tones up the whole system, acts as
stimulant to Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures
Constipation, Headache, Painting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
