true of human beings. Thought-that
is, intelligent thought-should be ex-
exercised.
No fixed rule for ventilating at night
can be followed on all occasions. Bet
ter no outside ventilation than excess
sive cold where misery ATTENDS.
Warmth anu fresh air combined is the
end sought 1t pays to study this prob
lem when we remember that fully one
third of our life is spent in the sleep
ing room.
AS one lady says: Sleep is much
deeper and more perfect when there is
plenty of fresh air in the room az
night" The clothing worn during the
day may always be placed at night
where fresh air will find it; and the
same with that worn at night. During
the day fresh air will thoroughly per-
meate IT, If the rule of fresh air for
the clothing as well as the room Is
followed, there will be even greater
gain in the important matter of quieter
nerves and brighter faces.

PURE AIR FOR SLEEPERS.

The result of fresh air in the sleep
ing room will be felt in the various
subtle ways-in quieter nerves, greater
amiability, brighter eyes and clearer
mind and complexion. And though the
subject often discussed, il is worthy
of attention when we realize its bene-
fits.
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 recognized Then the physical
condition of the sleeper should be
thought of. The same amount of out
side air and the same temperature can
not be endured alike by everyone. 1t
sometimes happens that the admission
OF fresh air during the night renders
the sleeper uncomfortable cold. When
this is the case the object of the open
window or fresh-air current is de-
feated.
A window raised a very little at top
and bottom is better than a wide
space. A transom opening upon a
ventilated room is excellent for deli
cate people who cannot bear a direct
current in the room.
Study comfort. 1t is a well-known
truth that animals must be warmly
housed at night in order to thrive in
cold weather The fact is none the less

Bicycles were invented centuries ago,
but il required the magic touch of the
nineteenth century inventor to make the
wheel a most useful vehicle. instead OF
a mere toy.
Ball bearings did it. 1t was a case
whore the Improvement has proved great
or than the original invention. The prin-
ciple that reduces friction TO a minimum
in bicycle is applicable TO all machin-
cry, and the cost is the only obstacle in
the way of what will be known in history
as the Light Draft Era" in mechanics.
Millions of dollars have been spent in this
direction The Deering Harvester Com
pany. Of Chicago, solved the problem, as
far as grain binders aud mowers are con-
cerned, by equlpping their machines with
roller and ball bearings IN 1891.
Other manufacturers M this line have
since followed with several kinds OF ex-
detrimental roller bearings. but the Deer.
ing machines are still alone IN the field
with ball bearings OF the bicycle pattern.
The Deerug Companys annual cata-
Iogue for 1899 contains some very inter
asting historical matter on this subject,
fully illustrated. The book also describes
the largest factory in America and gives
the latest news on the >nhjcct OF harvest

glover pots exposed along the win
dow lodges prove that spring is here.
There is no better sign. All winter
the faint blooms have shone behind the
glass OF the panes, but now they take
the open air like invalids confined for
long, but conyalescing. They are
curious things, flower pots, and evil
denoe the love of nature born in us all
and staying with us to our latest
breath. They are seen too in the most
curious places
There is huge smokegrimed fac
tory on the west size, ten stories high.
The air about it is thick with coal dust
and SCOT. Yet all summer its lodges
bloom like gardens. One knows that
many girls work in that factory. The
flowers are watered from tin cups that
are carried full and dripping the long
length of the halls in the luncheon
half-hour. Men would not take the
trouble, but the woman who does not
love buds and blooms is as rare as the
woman who does not love babies.
In either case her thinking machin-
cry has slipped a cog or was built
