Air and sun the room, air and sun the
bedding, air and sun yourself. Tossthe
bedding over chairs and expose 10 the
sunlight, Allow the sunlight to stream
into the window sufficiently long to
perform its office of publication. Then,
II you think best. close the shuttersand
darken the room, but open them again
ere the sun goes down, and, II possible,
allow the air to circulate freely.
When you retire do not unduly ex-
pose yourself to draught. Remember
that your vitality is always lower dur
ing sleep. that the temperature of your
body is greatly reduced, that the breath
ing depends wholly upon Involuntary
muscles, and that the weather may sud-
denly change during the night.
IL your bedroom is so situated, open
opposite windows. or door and WINDOW,
but do not place the bed where the cur
rent of air will strike you directly. II
you have but one window to open, low
er it at the top, and raise it at the bot
tom. This is better than to raise il to
the fullest extent, as you should allow
the foul and heated air that rises to pass
out of the upper opening, caused by
the. lowering of the window, and the
purer and less warm air to enter the
lower opening, thus creating its own
current.
Whatever else you do, do not shut out
the night air. No matter how well
ventilated your room may be during the
day you cannot well get along without
the outside air to replenish the air that
becomes poisoned with the exhalations
Of the body, as well as from the ex-
halations of the lungs. Consider the
fact that 1000 cubic feet of fresh air
are required every hour in order to keep
the system in proper condition. If you
wish to awaken refreshed see to it that
your room is aired by day and ventilat-
ed by night.-Ladies' Home journal.

"There il is again. just what had

eating the elastic substance in their

tion. a

ed his companion.
well, it's just like this. For sew
eral weeks past I've been taking OBJ
servations to determine the relative
amount of time woman talks to the
number of times a man is permitted to
speak when they are alone in each 9TH
er's company At last l have discov-
cred safe ratio, and what it is you
can easily determine for yourself when
give You the figures"
With this he drew forth a notebook
and continued: 1--WE taken 1000 couples
and, as they passed me, noted which
one, whether the man or the woman,
was doing the talking. The snatches
of conversation / caught, while they
might have been interesting as sub
ject for further thought, did not in
terest me. I've been dealing in mathe-
matics. These figures are accurate
and taken with great care. The couple
who just passed us was the one-thou-
sandth have observed. The others
have been young and old, native and
foreign born, and, altogether, it estab-
fishes a general rule which am posi-
tive can be relied upon.
"Out of the 1000 have noted, just as
they came, mark you, the man was
talking 139 times. In those instances,
] expect, there must have been some
thing the matter with the vocal chords
of his female companion, but, however,
won't attempt to explain it away.
In 81 cases both were making an ef
fort to be heard. The woman was
doubtless successful in the end, but
never followed them up to see. Eighty
three times l observed that silence
reigned, another phenomenon for
which am unable to offer any explana-
ton. But listen-nay, harken-here IS
the record of the fair ones. Before the
appearance of this last couple had
$50 times charged against them, 75o
times out of 1000 where their sweet
voices have been heard while man
was the only auditor. This last in
stance completes the 1000 and makes
the grand total of ISL. Try it and see if
your figures do not come out about the
same."-Chicago Chronicle.

Forest Preservation.

Under this head the State Auditor
land Forest Commissioner in his an
nua1 report, says: 1.-The law for pre-
venting and extinguishing forest and
prairie fires has been in operation
practically for four years, and has met
reasonable expectations During this
period Minnesota has been free from
such serious forest fires as have oc-
Cured in neighboring states. OF
course it needs no law to make people
turn out to save their own or neigh
bors' property from fire, but the bene-
fit of the fire warden law is especially
apparent in cases where a forest tire
may have been set in remote or a
sparsely-settled locality, in dry sea-
son, and which but for the prompt at
tention of fire wardens might prove
disastrous. The leading object OF the
law also is to prevent dangerous forest
or prairie fires from being set. IRE
vention, indeed, is it's leading principle.
Not only does the fire warden law tend
to prevent such catastrophe as oc-
Cured at Hinckley in 1884, but py
helping to save the young growth OF
timber, it tends to prolong our import
ant lumber industry"

there is a station named Wait-a-

their operations, and they intimated

other phrase pregnant with up-to-date

The Beers are no resp ec.ers OF per-
sons, and their treatment Of English
medical practitioners against whom
they may happsn to have a grievance
leaves a good deal to be desired, as the
following example will show: A prac-
titioner was summoned to attend the
little child Of Boer but refused to
respond to the summons. inasmuch as
another medical man had charge OF the
case. In consequences Of this refusal
the Boer lodged complaint against the
practitioner at the next meeting OF the
local governing body Of the district.
Accordingly, a resolution was passed
by the latter pledging the members
thereof to boycott the practitioner, and
a young doctor from a neighboring part
Of the country was invited to settle in
the district, and was promised the sup.
port Of the local authorities. This per.
fectly unwarantable step was taken
merely because the medical man ir

ployment of an overhead cable tram
way for carrying coal between two
ships. A tripod or shears is TO be
mounted on the after deck Of the Mas
sachusetts to carry heavy wire cable,
which is, in turn, attached to the fore
mast Of the collier. By means OF this
cable, and perhaps one or more SINH
lar cables If the sea is high, the bat
tleship win tow the collier, the object
being to keep the cables taut and to
utilize the elevated one for carrying
4O0-pound bags Of coal from the collier
to the ship, the bags being hauled by
smaller cables operated by a hosting
engine on the collier. The tramway
cable will be about one hundred faith
oms long and its ends will be elevated
about 20 feet above sea, level.
1t is asserted by the designer Of the
contrivance that an average Of forty
tons Of coal an hour can be thus trans
ferred, but it is understood that the
navy is ready to adopt the apparatus
and install it on many Of the heavier
ships If the rate Of fifteen tons an hour
is secured in bad weather and without
reducing the speed Of the ships too
much. For 1t is regarded as Of extreme
Importance that a method be secured
by which a fast cruiser or battleship
If ordered to distant point in an
emergency, will have her bunkers re-
plenished without the tedious delay Of a
stay in port. Naval officers think that
the apparatus will operate without a
doubt when the battleship and collier
are going along at five knot rate, but
the system will he Of great value II
the two vessels can continue on their
course at the rate Of ten knots, and
the Massachusetts and the Marcellus
will make a trial at that rate.
Here the question arises as to the ex-
ira amount Of coal which a battleship
viii consume in towing the collier at
reasonable speed. Up to the highest
speed Of which the collier is capable it
is thought the battleship should use
little extra coal in keeping the cable
taut, but If an attempt is made to
maintain excessive speed It is feared
the battleship would burn coal faster
than the apparatus would carry It.
