FRESH AIR AND VENTILATION
Some Directions Relating to Bed Rooms
and Clothing.
From the Living Church.

From the Living Church.
First and very important keep your bed
and bed room worm and dry during Tho d,,,
An open window and cold room will make
the ped damp and cold. and will give its
unfortunate occupant a severe cold AT
least II not worse. 4 damp bed is a veri-
table broodlng place Of bacteria MANY
housekeepers having heard of the necesstv
or fresh air leave the bed room window
open during the day, filling it with cold
air when none is needed, and then close the
window for the night, when the room 10
occupied and the fresh air is needed I'm
abundance. Any one can see how con-
trafy TO common sense such procedure
The custom of some housekeepors to
keep the spare room" closed at all times
and then opening ii only for warming lust
before putting a guest into ii is, to put
II mildly, very thoughtess. Cold objects,
bedding Included when exposed TO sudden
heat, condense the moisture in the air and
consequently such beds are always damp
and cold, and are the most unhealthy and
should be avoided even by guests Better
go to an up-to-date hotel or walk homa
any number of miles than to sleep in such
a bed.
Second: All your clothing worn in tho
daytime, footwear included, open out and
hang over chairs or on hooks near tho
stove or register to dry and air during the
night. If you neglect this simple sanitary
measure, your clothing will feel damp and
cold in the morning, because it SIN con-
talns the evaporation from your body dur
ing the previous day. and after a while
your clothing will have an unpleasant
odor from these evaporaions. Drying
and airing your footwear during the night
will keep your feet from sweating, cold
ness and bad odors.
Third: Your bed and room warm and
dry. have plenty OF lightweight bedding.
Then just before retiring close the door
and open window from the bottom.
Where more than one person sleeps a a
room, the window must be raised higher.
This will give an abundance of fresh air
while you sleep. Place the bed so that thu
fresh air current will not strike you direct
ly. Protected In your dry, warm bed-as
coy as bug in a rug-the air, cold.
pure and fresh freighted with oxygen,
very elixir of life, will quiet your nerves,
will rest you, will soothe you. and give you
healing and strength. When arising IN
the morning. close the window quickly and
let heat come into the room. Then dressed
in your aired and dried day clothing, you
will feel clean, fresh and vigorous.
Fourth: Keep your living rooms well ven-
tiated in daytime If no other provision Il
made for ventilation, get one of those at
tachments to a stove pipe or fue which
takes the cold air from the floor. Foul air
being heavier than warm air, naturally
sinks TO or near the floor, and by the above
mentioned apparatus escapes to the nuo
How many sitting rooms of even well-to-
do people have a very offensive odor from
lack of ventilation.

A Postal Card Race.
From the London Globe


With view of testing the time required
by postcard to go the round of the world
and to ascertain also the route which the
card should take to accomplish its journey
In the least possible number of hours an
interesting experiment in the form of a
competition is being made in Paris At 3
o'clock one afternoon, at the central post
office, and in the presence of a number OF
witnesses 40 postcards, sent by an equal
number of competitors who had beforehand
secured the services of correspondents in
America and the far east were handed in
after examination by and on the certificate
OF sherif's officer. Some will go by the
Hayre route, Others by Marselle, by Cher
bourg. by Southampton. After few brief
resting places, necessitated by the time
taken by the correspondents in the United
States or in Asia to repost them, the post
cards will return to Paris, when the sender
of the one that arrives first will receive
prize money.

on EER COMPETITIONS
LARGE WINNINGS OF THE CHAM
PION PLAIN MAN OF ENGLAND.
Frog Catching Contests, Prizes Given
for Singing Larks and Other
Odd Struggles.

From Pearson's Weekly.
A Silverton, in Devon, they frequently
have cock-crowing competitions The own
ers of the birds take them to the village
school room and set them growing one
against another. In the last competition
there were few of the cockerels requiring
encouragement; in fact, the difficulty was
to get them to stop at all. The winner
succeeded in growing fifty-one times in
seventeen minutes.
For some time before the cock Growing
competition begins the birds are fed in a
special manner peculiar to each owner; the
secret of the art of feeding is very closely
guarded. For about three weeks prior to
the competition the food is carefully dosed
and made as stimulating and exciting as is
possible. When the bird is sent to the show
a timekeeper with a chronometer stands in
front OF 1t during the Growing contest he
marks the number of crows and the varia-
ton of notes In given time, which is gen.
orally fifteen minutes
Paris has just had cock Growing COM
petition open to the whole world. The birds
in the Paris competition are brought by
their owners in darkened boxes. AS each
competitors turn comes the cock is sud-
denly taken out into the light of day and
placed on platform.
The bird imagines that he is there to
herald in a supposed dawn, and begins to
crow vigorously. At the same moment a
special tmepiece is started. The utterer Of
the greatest number of cock-a doodle
in quarter of an hour is the one which is
proclaimed champion chanticleer.
Lark Singing.
At Huddersfeld they have an association
for the promotion of lark singing. The asso-
citation has now been in existence for about
twenty years, and last year 313 birds were
entered for the various competitions At
each sing about fifteen birds are en-
tered.
These contests, together with lark breed
ing, form a very attractive hobby to many
people In Huddersfield and the surrounding
villages.
The manner IN which such competitions
are managed is very interesting. AS a rule
the birds are kept for a considerable time
in the dark, and when the competitors
turn comes he is brought in in his darkened
cage before a mirror. Light is thrown upon
the mirror, and when he sees his own re-
Election he takes it to be rival
After about half minute in which to
scan the enemy" lis cage is taken in front
of the window. AS soon as this takes place
singing for considerable time Still, he is
remarkably sensitive while singing; the
least thing, such as taking out a pocket
handkerchief, may put end to his lay
The bird also abhors noise, SO absolute
quiet must be maintained In order to give
him fair play. Last year three birds sang
for about ten minutes without cessation,
thus gaining the championship.
Frog catching contests are Just about the

Production of Gold.

According to a statistician who has been

machines the time is not far distant whel
the gold output will be 100000 per day.

more than at present. AS this would ag,

to conjecture what the effect will be upoI

and with good reason, that the
remoyalaof the plant to this city
would not only bring with it
the patronage it now has but
would also enable it to control
the cream now anufactured in
to dairy butter and marketed in
this city, but would give to the
creamery product the market
now supplied with Indifferent
grades of dairy butter at a price
which drives the higher grade
creamery product out Of the
market. at the same time it is
shown that the farmer would
realize more money from the
sale Of his cream to the creamery
than he would from the sale Of
his dairy butter. The stockhold-
4ers ii the creamery are all prac-
5ticaI farmers, and have given
the matter careful consid ideration,
and the fact that they are will.
ing to put more money into the
plant itself if it is removed to
this city, gives assurance that
they are presenting straight
business facts. 1t was decided
thatsit would take $500 to move
the plant, dig awell, make sewer
connec ctions and get everything
in readiness to begin work The
club decided to make an effort to !
sell $500 of stock and furnish
a site for the plant and the pres
ent stockholders will endeaVor
to sell a similar amount of stock
and in the event of a reasonable
success of these efforts, the plant
will be removed to this city, the
company organized, and the
city furnished with what is SER
iously needed, a we'll equipped
creamery. "A committee of
which F. ri Mann is chairman, |
was appointed by Preside lent
Bangs to push the matter oee suE-,,

ness Men S club.

The bureau believes that the
