The old Yankee skill at driving a
bargain is not being lost. A woman
visitor at fashionable resort on the
Maine coast last summer went to the
Universalist church in the place the
first Sunday morning of her stay, and
was politely shown to seat. There
was no hymn book, however, but the
occupant of the pew behind her
reached over and placed one in her
hands. At the close of the service the
visitor turned and thanked the person,

church all summer she would like to

consent salutary custom, especially
when the day comes early, not other

ing room should be cool, abundant air
being always admitted. This should
not be interpreted to mean that the
room may safely remain intensely
cold. In the modern treatment of tu-
berculosis fresh air is recognized to
be imperatively needed all day and all
night.
Artificial heat can and should be
supplied along with the fresh air till
the temperature of the room be at or
near so or SO degrees Fahrenheit, for
some even 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Above this no one in health is likely
to sleep in perfect comfort. Babies
and invallds need heat of from GO

Mr.. John Sharp's offices were siru.

one morning Mr.. John Sharp was
seated in his private room, expecting
a visitor, or, as Mr.. Sharp would have
expressed it himself. client. While
waiting for the latter to put in an
appearance. he whiled away the time
with the morning paper.
At the particular moment to which
we refer his attention was engaged
by something in the top right hand
corner of the outside sheet, which
seemed to afford him considerable
amount of satisfaction.
