DIRTY AIR.
There Are Two Forms Of lmpurlty,
Gaseous and Solid.

Gaseous and Solo.
The Importance of ventilation
and of constant supply of fresh
air in living rooms, whether sleeping
or waking, has often been insisted
upon. Without air life is impossi-
bic, and unless that air be moder-
ately pure health cannot be main
tanned, although it is astonishing
aud a proof of the wonderful
adaptation of living beings to their
environment to note how great an
amount of contamination of the air
can be borne with seeming impuni-
ty.
There are two forms Of impurity
in the air-gaseous and solid. The
gases, those resulting from exhala-
tons from the lungs, and in city
houses from the little unnoticed
leaks from the gas pipes and from
defective plumbing, are the most
injurious. For the removal of these
free ventilation through open win
dows and open freplaces is most
efficacious. But it is of little sery-
ice in the removal of the other kind
of impurity-that is to say, the
solid particles of matter-dust-
which are always floating in the air
of houses as we'll as in that OF the
streets.
A beam of sunlight entering
through a half closed shutter makes
visible this dust, and as one looks
with startled eyes on the beam
which lights up the floating parti-
Giles the wonder grows that the
lungs are not made solid by this
stream of dust flowing in with every
breath. Fortunately the nose and
the moist lining Of the air tubes are
designed to filter the air by arrest
ing these particles before they can
enter the delicate air chambers OF
the lungs. They do their work well
but not perfectly, and the greater
the amount of dust the more they
fail in their function.
Workmen engaged in dusty trades
carpet heaters, coal miners, pot
tiers, grinders, felt workers-ofter
acquire disease of the lungs from
the inhalation of dust.
Dust particles are injurious mo-
only mechanically, but also ant
chiefly because they act as carriers
Of disease germs.
Since it is impossible to remove
dust entirely by ventilation, it il
necessary to do what is practicable
to prevent its dissemination through
the air. Settled dust is ugly, bu
inoffensive. But when the wei

The Joy of Laughter

Laughter Is that mysterious tide
of sentiment that flows from soul
to soul and that cannot be express
ed in words;it GIBBS and flows from
heart to heart and breaks into
peals and silvery foam on the
troubled shores of human life; it
turns the poor home into palace /;
it makes the pauper king. When
ever it's rapturous pillows roll, we
are tossed ito and fro on the
sweetest waves of passion that
heave the human breast. Happier
is he who tickles the ribs OF his
fellow man and charms laughter to
the lips of trouble or dries tear
on the cheek of sorrow with the
sunshine of smile, than ne who
stabs his fellow man between the
ribs with the tongue of malice and
bitterness and thus crucifes laugh
ter on the tips Of Joy, or browns
the sunshine Of smiles beneath O
food of tears.

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious in Hand
to-Hand Combat.

Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke
was attacked by a wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa
He had been in Ashland and started
to drive home. His horse stepped on
nail and he put the animal in a sta
bic.
Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon 1t. For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by a quick swing he broke the ami.
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,

ISOLATION, Herr Schonterg, publicly
accused the Hamburg hospital of car
rying on a large traffic in corpses. He
declared that closed collins were de-
livered to relatives OF the deceased
containing only ashes and rubbish or
wooden image. In several cases the
BODY had been placed in the coffin in
the presence Of the relatives, and ex-
tracted after their departure. The
leg OF man who had suffered from a
peculiar disease was cut off and re-
placed by that OF dead woman. In
this state the body was exhibited to
the relatives. A former employee of
the hospital, whose trial for selling
bodies was the occasion of those dis.
closures, declared that he had seen
the arms of a dead man amputated
and replaced by girls arms in order
that the mans relatives should sus-
pect nothing. 1t was also proved that
warders had cut off and sold heads
and other parts of corpses for their
own profit and without the knowledge
of the doctors. In two cases at least
collins were buried containing only

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many Of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have focked to the
prairie provinces Of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor In attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
Of soil and suitability Of climate for
producing what IS universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the no. / Hard" Of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 90,
100000 bushels; oats, 7G,000,00O bush
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three proyinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed-is only $4,000, it Is
easily seen that the lure OF the Cana
dian West is in it's agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district Is within easy
reach Of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines Of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the com
mcncement OF agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements In the
West were made In Canada and in the
United States, and has given great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
Bteads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
Is able and willing to comply with the
conditions OF actual settlement (by no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry, Is great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 addi-
tional to the western population. of
which 57,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent Of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and Is easy of access In even
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare OF his family
in mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes
circle Of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line.
