Ventilation In Winter.

Now that the cold nights bring the temptation to keep our sleeping rooms always well heated few principles of hygiene should be recalled.
 Persons of normal constitution and in good health should always sleep in a cold room. Plenty of blankets, but no fire, should be the rule. But if this pro. cedure be considered too Spartan small grate fire might be allowed. Furnace heat is too heavy and oppressive. A gas heater is worst of all Besides the heat itself, the gas stove produces nitroge- nous gases, which are extremely hurtful to the sleeper. The air of the room is thus poisoned. Its vitalizing properties are used up and not enough oxygen is taken into the lungs. This weakens the system and renders the lungs peculiarly liable to winter troubles, such as asthma and catarrh. h.-Dr. Bradford Murphy in St. Louis Post Dispatch.

The Pope's Love of Chess.

It may not be known that Leo XIII is an ardent lover of chess. He has been a constant player for over 30 years, and his skill in the game is anything but mediocre. His holiness favorite oppo- nent used to be Father Guilio, with whom he was in the habit of playing when he was Cardinal Pecci. On being raised to the pontifical throne he sum- moned Father Giulio from Florence, where he was then stationed, and gave him apartments in the Vatican. Father Giulio was said to combine a rare mas. tery of the game with an exceedingly irascible temper. Sometimes during a game with his holiness he would burst out into an ungovernable fit of rage. On such occasions Leo XIII immediate ly interrupted the contest and proceeded to deliver little homily on the virtues of Christian resignation and self con trol. Rome Correspondence.

RlOTlNG IN HAVANA.
Our Troops Que1l Disturbances oi
 span in rds and Cubnns.

Havana, Dec. 2S. - The American troops were fired on in Havana last night. The whole town is in an uproar and serious rioting is threatened.
 A detail from Company M, Tenth reg, ular United States infantry, while quelling riot which broke out in Bom- bay street at o'clock last evening, were fired on. They returned the fire. pouring volley after volley into the crowd of rioters as they fled from the street.
 Two Spanish sailors were wounded, a Spanish marine was killed by the Amer leans, and a number of other persons whose names could not be secured were also wounded in the melee caused by the interference of the American troops.
 Three Cubans were fatally injured, and several Spaniards who were carried away by fS!ends were wounded, but how seriously Is not known.
 The Cubans who were fatally injured arc Jose Dolores, a mulatto, shot through the stomach with a rifle bull let, Pedro Mutes. shot in the groin, and Ramon Delgados, shot in the hip and chest.
 A Spanish soldier who was marching with his company to the wharf yester- day afternoon attempted to pull down Cuban flag and an American flag which were waving over the door at 10S San Lazaro street. The soldiers were fired on from the housetops and windows. They returned the fire, riddling the front of buildings with bullets. The soldier who attempted to take down the flag fell on the steps of the house, bleed- ing from wounds in his head and shoul- ders.
 The soldiers withdrew, carrying their injured comrade in the wagon on which their baggage was piled.
 Residents of San Lazaro say the with drawal of the Spaniards was due to the appearance of an American officer, who persuaded the Spaniards to retire. The town is now practically in the hands of the Americans. The Spaniards are SUD- posed to still hold possession of the strip of ground between the Prado and Puerto, but their soldiers have with drawn to within a few blocks of the Puerto.
 Three companies of the Tenth regular infantry, who were hurried into town yesterday afternoon, are on guard in the streets tonight.

External Impressions Count.

Not only such things as are beautiful to the eye, but those which appeal favorably to the taste, are large factor in our every day life. Even with medicines, it is no longer necessary to take large amounts of vile-tasting con- pounds to -et relief. Now we have the most wonderful example of this in Vinol, the new form of cod liver oil, in which the active, curative principles of the cod's liver is found in highly concentrated state, and the obnox- ious, vile-smelling grease discarded.
 MT. c. c. Isbell, chemist of North Adams, speaks of this feature in Vinol as follows:- "Vinol is luxury to take. Vinol is modern and up-to-date and is an example of mans ingenuity to get the best to be had from any article for the greater benefit of hu- manity. Vinol should be appreciated. know that it is, for in it we have the greatest builder-up ever put on the market"
 Vinol is positively a delicacy in the sick room. No longer will the poor sufferer with disease-weakened stomach, struggle to take that which may save his life, or rebel entirely against the medicine and prefer death to such terrible remedy. Yours very truly,
 w. H. CAMP,
 Special Vinol representative.

The Venerable Vermont Statesman
 Had Served Forty-four Years Con-
 tinnously In nCongress-LongerT Than
 Any Other Member of Either House.
 Washington, Dec. 28.--Hon. Justin &. Merrill, the senior senator from Yer mont, died at 25 minutes past 1 o'clock this morning in the eighty ninth year of his age. after an illness of less than a week. With him when the end came was his sister-in-law, Miss Louise Swan, his son James, MT. Benjamin Durfee, for d long time associated with the senator in the finance committee work at the capital. and Colonel s. E. Chamberlain, an intimate friend. The senator never recovered from the un- conscious state into which he lapsed yesterday, and his death was calm and peaceful.
 The immediate cause of death was pneumonia, which developed from an attack of grip contracted about week ago. The venerable senator was con- fined to his home but seven days. De- spite his advanced age, he attended his senatorial duties faithfully and regular Iy went to the capitol. About ten days ago the weather here was cold, raw and foggy, and his physician thinks that ex- posture to it's rigors brought on the at tack of grip. The day before congress adjourned for the Christmas holiday the senator was unable to leave his resi- dence. He grew no better asAthe days went on, his low vitality, due to ad- vanced age being unable to resist the disease.

A ..cmarAtDIc Feat.

A Neapolitan professor has just per formed remarkable feat. Some time ago he offered to make a bet that he could recite the whole of Dante's "Di- vine Comedy" by heart. His ability to do this was doubted, and his wager was taken up. A select audience was invited to hear the professor, who acclaimed from o'clock ill tho evening until o'clock the next afternoon. The reciter stopped occasionally, but it was not be- cause he had forgotten the poem; it was simply to moisten his tongue with sugared water. He won his wager, for the audience had to confess that he got through the 15, 900 verses, more or less, of which the poem is composed without the least difficulty. London Globe.
