An interesting commentary on the

you are out of sorts at the best, If you
are lucky enough tn escape physical
ailments, while you are mentally de-
pressed. But once let the sun shine
brightly and clear the atmosphere,
how different, how much better you
feel in every way.
Cold weather Is here, and when
you are tempted to close up the house
as tight as 1t can be made, remember
these things, and don't do It, espec-
tally at night. Keep the windows In
the sleeping apartments open enough
to at least give you sufficient fresh
air. A cold room does not indicate
that 1t is healthy; far from It. A
sleeper will soon breathe up all the
fresh air In a room, and il there Is not
a constant supply OF fresh air, he sim
ply breathes over and over again the
poison thrown off by his lungs And
the breathing of this vltiated air only
tends to lower the temperature and
vitality OF the system so that it Is not
as capable of withstandiug the rigors
of winter. Fresh air is heating to the
body; In fact, upon 1t depends the
combustion of the fuel in the body
and by which we are kept alive,
which we should always bear in
mind.
Even with open windows during
the night, bed-chambers and bed
clothing should be thoroughly aired
each morning aud allowed all the.
sunlight possible. During sleep, not
only do the lungs throw off more
poison than during the day, but 1t is
especially 50 with the body in its re-
Taxed condition and when the pores
are all open. During sleep the body
should have plenty of covering; bet
ter to have too much than not enough
both to induce deep slumber and to
keep the skin moist aud the pores
open, that they may have the oppor-
tunity to rid the system of poison.
Bear in mind. that death would follow
the closing OF the pores.
Fresh air In cold weather will cost
money, as more fuel will be required,
but it will be economy, for 1t does not
save sickness and doctor bills, and
which 1t most likely will do, you will
feel better and the stronger for it,

BIRD ACTION
Is Represented in This Latest
Successful AirShip.

Michigan also has an aiTstip.
Work has been begun here on large
flying machine designed after the
model of the airship invented by
James Douglas, a farmer of Texas
township, near Kalamazoo, and which
proved entirely successful on its ini-
uial trip In this city few days ago
The machine, and it is the intention
OF the inventor to sail 1t from Kala-
mazoo to St Louis to compete in the
airship contest at the exposition.
The small model tested here last
week proved so succt ssful In its op.
erations that the Inventor has the
greatest confidence In the new ma
chine he is having built, and has In
terested number Of local capitalists
to finance the project.
Mr. Douglass airship Is in reality
flying machine, as 1t depends en-
tifsly upon its wings for raising It
from the ground and propeliing 1t.
No gas is used.
The airship now being built is 60
feet In length and will be constructed
entirely of thin sheet steel. The
body of the machine Is shaped some
thing like a cigar. the deck or upper
side being fat, and is about IS inches
In diameter aud S feet wide in the
widest part. All the mechanism Is
placed on the deck. The machine
will be operated by two small but
powerful turbin engines, using oil for
fuel The engines also are an inven-
ton of Mr. Douglass.
In designing his airship the inven-
tor has followed the principles of a
bird in it's flight. 1t is equipped
with four sets ci double wings, which
operate In the same manner as those
of bird when flying. When wing OF
one set Is taking the downward stroke
the other wing takes what is termed
dead stroke" and revolves into
place to take the downward stroke
again when the first wing starts on
the dead stroke" Consequently
one wing In each set Is constantly
catching the air and propelling the
ship. The wings also revolve rapid
ly enough to hold the machine in the
air. The wings are connected with a
central shaft, which Is rtvolved by
the engines. All connections are
bevel-gear.
The steering apparatus Is a large
sheet steel fan, composed OF sew raj
sections, and acts like the tail OF a
bird. When the machine is ready to
alight the tail is set at an angle
which causes the ship to circle around
In the air, and the slowing of the ac-
ton OF the wings will allow II to
gently circle to the ground, where II
will rest on four pairs of strong steel
springs, thus preventing jar.
Judging from the speed made by
this small model, Mr. Douglass be-
lieves that his machine will be able
to make a mile minute in light
wind, and that 1t will carry 500
pounds in addition to Its own weight.

A Lesson in the Use of Simple
Terms in Letter Writing.

A few months ago the son of rail-
way director was, through his fathers
influence, given a position of some
importance on a large railway. He
was fresh from Cambridge, and in the
orders which he from time to time is
sued to the men under him always
made use of the longest, most unusual
words. The habit led to some rather
expen sive blunders, and. the matter
coming before the general manager,
he wrote the young official the follow
ing letter:
ain promulgatiug your esoteric
cogitations and in articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and am
cable philosophical or psychological
observations beware of platitudinous
ponderosity. Let your conversation
al communication possess a clarified
conciseness, a compacted comprehen-
sibleness, a coalescent consistency
and concatenated cogency. Eschew
all conglomeration of flatulent garrul-
ity, jejune babblement and asinine af-
fectatiou. Let your extemporaneous
descantings and unprecedented ex-
battalion have intelligibility and
veracious vivacity, without rhodo-
moutade or thrasonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyliable pro-
fundity, ventriloquial verbosity and
vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double
entendre, prurient jocosity and pesti-
ferrous profanity, obscurant or appar-
cent. In other words, tSiK very
plainly, briefly, naturally, sepsibly,
purely and truthfully. Don't put on
airs; say what you mean; mean what
you say, and don't use big words"
The young official took the gentle
hint and changed his style.-London
