Sunny Rooms.

1t Is said to be true that in all hospi-
tails those rooms facing the sun have
fewer deaths, other things being equal,
than those which are on the shady side
of the house. Likewise statistics, where
they have been kept prove that the av-
erage time for recovery is much less
in sunny room than in shady one,
From these facts and from the fact
that the tendency toward illness has
proved greater on the shady side of
buildings, like prisons and asylums, it
follows that light is second only in i'm
portance to fresh air. A dark room is
nearly but not quite so bad as a close
room. In the case of sickness the sick
room should be the sunnest one tho
house affords.

Latter Did with the Emblem

Brougham told Father Mathew, the
celebrated Irish temperance worker,
that he was extremely abstemious in
the matter of wine. In 1874 Father
Mathew amused a large party at the
house of an Irish nobleman in London
by his attempts to convert the noble
lord to teetotalism. .t.--
Il drink very little wine" said
Brougham-"only half a glass at
luncheon, and two half glasses at din
ner; and though my medical advisers
told me should increase the quantity,
l refused to do So"
They are wrong, my lord, for ad
vising you to increase the Quantity"
said Father Mathew, playfully, land
you are wrong in taking even the small
quantity you mention, but have hopes
of YOU" and, despite the good-hu-
mored resistance Of Brougham, he in
vested his Iordship with the green rib
bon and silver medal of the Total Abb

Brougham I'll take the ribbon to the
house Of lords, where l Shaft be sure TO
