THE HOUSEHOLD.
Fresh Air In the Bedroom-A New Con-
trivance-Time Table For
Baking Meats.

The result of fresh air in the sleeping
in quieter nerves. greater amiability,
brighter eyes and clearer mind and COM
plexion-and, though the subject is Oft
en- discussed, it is worthy of attention
when we realize it's benefits.
There are several points to consider
when ventilating sleeping apartments.
First it is Important that the air should
be pure and the value of fresh air recog-
nized. Then the physical condition of
the sleeper should be thought of. The
same temperature cannot be endured
alike by every one. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the admission of fresh air
during the night renders the sleeper IN
comfortably cold. When this is the
case the object of the open window or
fresh air current is defeated.
A window raised a very little at top
and bottom is better than wide space.
A transom opening upon ventilated
room is excellent for delicate people
who cannot bear direct current in the
room.
Study comfort. It is we'll known
truth that animals must be warmly
housed at night in order to thrive in
cold weather The fact is none the less
true of human beings Thought-that
is, intelligent thought-should be exer-
cised.
4 No fixed rule for ventilating at night
can be followed on all occasions. Better
no outside ventilation than excessive
cold where misery attends. Warmth
and fresh air ombined is the end
sought.
It pays to study this problem when
we remember that fully one-third of
our life is spent in the sleeping ROOM

Boston. Aug. 31.-The situation is sucA
that lower prices have been forced upon
the butter trade With the prospects
of increasing receipts from now on and
in view of the very limited demand the
market mag be called weak, though there
has been no material slump in values, as
there is considerable confidence with the
members of the trade in an early revival
of the demand. The early fall has in
variably brought out q better demand
for the purposes of filling the wants of
the retail and jobbing trade, made larger
by the return of families to their homes
after the summer holidays. It is this
merchants are confidently looking for
There has been a decline of about a,
half a cent in prices quoted during the
past week. Here 1872 cents buys about
the best western creamery in spruce
tubs. though a trif1e higher is quoted by
some members Of the trade. Supplies in
large ash tubs are held at around 1914
cents per pound. Northern New York
assorted sizes are quoted at 10 cents,
but are net selling at that price, and
most dealers say that 1872 cents is all
that can be obtained. The supply OF both
western and York state is full, and pres
sure has to be made to interest buyers.
There is no accumulation of fine New
Hampshire AND Vermont creamery, and
while the demand for it is not very
large, prices are quite we'll maintained
at 10 to 1872 cents. The demand for fine
box and print butter has been fair, and
sales have been made al 20 to 81 cents
for northern and 1912 to 20 cents for
western. The lower grades are in full
supply, and with quiet trade, rule easy
in price. Extra Vermont dairy is quoted
at II cents and New York at Is cents.
Firsts range from IA to Is cents. Imita.-

Governor Taylor of Tennessee tells
of an interesting interview with a
pardon seeking woman. He had fed
to his summer home to escape the
crowds of pardon seekers, when the
woman who had sought him in vain at
the capitol was ushered into his pres
ence.
'Well, madam, what can I do for
your"
81 want to see the governor, sir"
'Well, Pm the governor; what is
it?''
"Ah, sir, my man he's been put in
prison, sir, and I want to ask if you
won't let him out"
The governors face hardened. He
had not, after all, escaped the pardon
seekers. But he did not turn her away.
"What was he sent up for?" he
asked.
"You see, sir, he was hungry, and
he just stole ham to keep us from
starving"
"Wen, Pm sorry, but I can't do
anything for you. Your man must
serve his sentence. There's too much
stealing going on"
ooh, gov'nor, please, please let him
OUT" pleaded the woman, the tears
flowing down her cheeks. The tears
had their effect. The governor soft
ened. Stealing ham was not such a
very terrible crime, and this poor wQ-
man no doubt needed her husband,
He decided to question her little.
"But why" he asked, "should I
give your man his freedomo''
because, sir, we are hungry again,
and we amt got no more ham" -Buf-

mand is moderate, and prices show no
change from a week ago, fine goods
selling at ~ to s cents. Sage continues
dull at Z to cents. Good prices are be-
ing paid in the country and this sustains
the market here despite the quiet trad
ing.
There has been firm market for eggs

and the music and songs catchy. The
story that furnishes the groundwork
for the play is simple but original,
yet despite its simplicity, there is not
a dull moment in it from the opening
scene to the final fall of the curtain. |
The action of the farce is rapid and is |
said to keep the audieace guessing. |

The building of the Davenport,
Clinton & Eastern railroad, which
has, according to report. been alb

pany) will be started as soon as frost
is out of the ground in the spring.
The ordinance passed by the Clin-
ton city council expressly provides
that the road shall be completed and
in operation on or before January.
1900.
Says the Clinton age: The Daven-
port, Rock Island & Northwestern
company which built the bridge at
Davenport, and which has pur-
chased the stock, rights and titles of
the old Davenport. Clinton & Eastern,
is the company which is to do the
work. Its stability is unquestioned,
as the personnel of its directory
shows. The directory includes be-
sides Mr.. Blair, John W. Gates. presi-
dent of the Illinois Steel company;
w. p. Palmer, vice president of the
same company; John w. Lambert,
president of the American Steel Wire
company; H. p. SCHUYLER. Chicago cap
italist; Z. I. Schuler, manager of the
extensive mills at Birmingham, Ala. I:
and John A. Drake, SON of eN-Gov.
Drake, of Iowa, and prominent Chi
cago capitalist. They realized at the
start that the key to the situation was
the bridge across the Mississippi and
the terminals in the cities of Rock
Island, Davenport and Moline.
This was the first move and
the success with which it has
been carried, through leaves no
doubt of their ability to carry out
the projected road. Over a million
of dollars have been spent in the tri-
cities already and 100000 additional
will be spent in the construction of
the road to this point. There will be
no delay about the construction of the
new railroad, MIR. Blair says. Ample
capital is behind it; all the main OBJ
stacles have been overcome, and just
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground the dirt will begin to fly
