Scotsman, is told by the writer Of GA

A member Of Mr.. JohnstonS Congre-

in Mr.. Russel's family. When the
preacher published his new book he
asked this member to bring it under

expert accountant to disentagle his
books. The accountant after two days
work announced to Hiram that he
would be able to pay his creditors 4

old man looked vexed.
Heretofore" he said, frowning, II

A virtuous and benevolent express

dist church, was born at Epworth, Eng

the Indians. This was in 1875. On
the voyage he met and conversed with
some Moravians, and on his return to
England he studied that religion and
was converted to it. After further
study Of the Moravian doctrines he
was moved by unconquerable zeal to
declare free salvation to all men
through simple faith in Jesus Christ.
On May II, 1879, he laid at Bristol,

THE NEED OF MOISTURE.
Laek of Proper Amount of Humidity
Causes Discomfort in Winter
How to Ventilate.

Humidity, not heat, causes most OF
the discomfort during the summer and
the lack of the proper amount Of il
causes considerable of the illness and
discomfort of winter. Humidity is one
of the most important elements affect
ing health, yet it receives little or no
attention. We are regulated to a large
extent, both in winter and summer by
the thermometer.
Any degree Of humidity between 40
and 80 is heslthful; anything below the
former degree is too dry; anything
above the latter Is too moist Of
course, one cannot regulate the amount
of humidity out of doors either in
summer or winter, but indoors, in win
ter certainly, it can and should be reg
ulated. In summer the moisture is
never above a healthy degree for any
length of time; therefore, one need
not worry regarding it; but during the
winter months, when steam heaters
and furnaces are in full blast, the
humidity often goes below 40 degrees,
and as result one of more members
of the family suffer with cold or
sore throat The best means of venti-
lating room is by opening the win
dow and the door and thus creating a
draft. Living rooms should have the
windows open as long as the weather
permits, and in inclement or very cold
weather they should be opened fire.
quently for 10 or Is minutes at a time.
Sleeping rooms should have the win
| dows open little from the top all
the time, and especially during the
| night. In the morning the windows
of bedrooms should be thrown open
and allowed to remain so for an hour
or two before the room is put in order
| There is nothing so detrimental to the
health, the complexion and the enjoy.
ment OF life as poor ventilation.-
American Queen.
