VENTILATION OF OUR HOMES,
Matter Of Importance Too Frequently
Neglected.

Ventilation has arrived at the posi-
ton of science, but the simpler
rules must be mastered before the
home can be healthy. Air and sun.
shine are the two best purifiers, and
tree access must be given to both,
says the Philadelphia Press.
A house should be so furnished that
free admission Of the sunshine can be
given without fear of injury to furni'
ture or carpets.
There are various gases emanatinS
from all animals, human beings in
cluded. These gases fill space, and Il
not driven out by ventilation are cap
able of causing death, and in lesser
degree Of undermining the health.
They are lighter than pure air, and
are expelled by means Of ventilation,
giving room for the pure air to fl
the space.
Simple ventilation means egress
for foul air near the roof, and ingress
for pure air near the floor of room.
All heated air is, lighter than cold
air, so it ascends, and the more rapid
ly it does so. the more rapidly it
draws the cold air after it. The car
bonic acid gas which is eXhaled is
heated air, as a child may discover
by placing the hand over the mouth
while breathing. The poisonous car
bonic acid gas ascends at once, hrF
it can be got rid of by means of venti
lation; otherwise it remains, filling
up space which the pure air SHOULD
occupy. The simplest form Of ven
tilation is to have the window opef
from two to four inches at the top,
while the door is kept slightly opca

"Mad as a Halter"

What is the derivation Of the
phrase Mad as a hatter?" One ex-
planation is that it was originally
French. CAS- mad as an oyster" (hui.
tre), that bivalve being supposed to be
extremely unintellectual. Another
theory is that the phrase had refernce
to Collins, the English poet, author of
the lode to the Passions" He was a
halter at Chichester, and it has been
said that the lunatics with whom he
was confined at one time called him
