Fresh Air in Sleeping Rooms

The lack of fresh air in a sleeping
room is responsible for many of the
morning bad feelings. The close, IN

Portable feeling about the head, the Ian
guor of the whole body, are often the re-
suit of poorly ventilated sleeping rooms.
Free ventilation is not always possible
in apartments. When one has a large
house, with airy chambers. it is easy to
ventilate properly; but III small bed
rooms it is not always possible to admit
fresh air at night without someone TAX
ing cold
Yet one must have fresh air in the
sleeping room. One woman who has

She covers the children up snugly, opens

she closes the windows.

Economical New England Wife

A truly economical woman has been
discovered at Wilton, n. II. Her hus-
band was so unfortunate as to have his.
hand badly mangled by contact with a.
buzz saw, and portion of it was am
putated by DR.. George w. Hatch.
While he was under anesthetic influence
his better half remembered that he had
discussed having his remaining teeth ex-
tracted, preparatory to having an arti-t
fetal set fitted, and inquired if her hus-l
band would remain under the influence
Of the ether long enough to extract the
teeth, and if it would cost any more to
able replies, she instructed Dr.. Hatch
to proceed, and her husband. When he
reeained his senses, found that his wife
had KILLED two birds with one stone. -

Soldiers Guard Gangs of Convicts Who
Are Making Order of Chaos in
Mississippi Town.

MERIDIAN, Miss, March 5.-The
work of gangs of convicts brought from
the state farm at Rankin, and from the
city prisons, as we'll as thousands of
citizens, in clearing away the debris of
the tornado of Friday night, continued
all last night without interruption, a cor
don of soldiers being drawn around the
places where the work was going on to
prevent the crowds from interfering with
the progress of operations.
The main efforts Of a majority of the
workers were confined to the ruins of
the Mey Neville Hardware company's
store where several dead bodies have
been taken out in the last two days.
The relatives OF several missing persons
fear their loved ones are still lying be-
meath the debris
Offers of assistance and drafts for
financial aid have been reaching the re
lief committee SO rapidly that refusal
was hardly possible. 1t is again an
nounced that money is not needed for
relief purposes, the people of Meridian
being amply able to take care of them
selves.
The list of casualties as a result of
Friday evenings tornado remains IN
changed, twenty-six dead and forty six
injured The suffering among the poorer
classes has been found to be much great
er than at first supposed.

The London Death Rate.

Notwithstanding it's size and numerous
ccngested districts. London must be re-
garded as one of the healthiest cities III
the world. A brief note by DR.. George
Newman on the annual report for 1904
shows q very satisfactory state of
health for such a great city. The death
rate for the year was 1866; this, with
the exception of 1903, is the lowest on
record. The chief decrease in deaths
during the last few decades has been in
those from smallpox, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia and typhoid fever. There has also
been a decrease in mortality from
measles and whooping cough, but prac-
tically none from epidemic dysentery.
Little or no improvement has occurred
in such general diseases as tuberculosis
excepting pulmonary, malignant dis
ease, nervous diseases and those of the
heart and circulatory apparatus. These,
with pneumonia and bronchitis, con-
tribute most largely to the mortality
The report also shows that during 1904
the birth rate was 279, the lowest on
record. It has steadily declined since
1867, the greatest diminution being in
those districts which socially are high
est in the scale. The marriage rate for
the year, II, was lower, with three ex-
ceptions, than it had been since 1855.
On the whole, the health officers of Lon
don may well be proud of the standing
of their city.-American Medicine.

FFATS IN BUILDING ROADS.
New Engineering Marvels Accomplished
in the Rocky Mountains.

Vast Improvement in railroad cOnStruc
ton is feature of the Rocky mountain
states. Passes that were pronounced in.
surmountable a few years ago have been
scaled, seemingly impossible canyons
have been threaded and mountains have
been tunneled to cut down heavy grades,
until the barrier of the Rockies have be-
come no barrier at all.
Only a generation ago engineers were
pronouncing Colorado hopeless from
railroading standpoint. Yet today there
are several railroads making daily climbs
of the main range in Colorado, and a
brand-naw road, built out Of Denver to-
ward Salt Lake City, has climbed the
barrier AT a point where ten years ago
civil engineers said no roadbed could be
successfully made.
This new railroad is the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, commonly called
the Moffat road, for the reason that it
has been protested and built by David
III. Moffat of Denver.
The road crosses the main range at an
altitude of 11,66O feet This terrific
climb is made only by means of the most
tortuous windings. and numerous tun-
nels. At one point, called the Bow
Knot, the train plunges through a tun-
mel, makes sharp turn to the right and
comes back over the very tunnel it en-
tered a few minutes before.
At another point the train literally
loops the lake. IL Swings around d
tiny body of water called Yankee Doodle
lake, in SO doing describing complete
circle. Then it cSmbS up and up, makes
another curve and climbs again, enabling
an individual to stand at the lake and
count tiers of track above him.
When the Denver 4 Rio Grande pre-
pared to build through the Rockies engi-
neers said the canyon of the Arkansas
could never be penetrated its entire
length. There was one spot in this awe
room for roadbed on either side of the
stream.
The walls of the canyon came down
to the swift current of the Arkansas
without foothold for a man on either
side. But an engineer suggested a hang
ing bridge, suspended between the walls
with supports imbedded in the solid rock
and across it the heavy trans-continental
trains fit daily, with nothing but the
the top of the canyon, 1000 feet above.
Great iron braces, which look almost
spiderlike in the vastness of the canyon,
anchored securely in the sheer sides.
Huge cables depend from these braces,
holding a long iron bridge.
Of course one can get a little idea of
the railroad wonders that will be wrought
in the next generation, but it hardly
seems possible that the feats of the last
few years can be surpassed. Probably
the greatest work will be done in the
line of tunnels for the purpose of cutting
down existing grades.-New York Trlb-

Finding It difficult to secure a man to

feel so keen an interest in the business.
Mrs. Schaefer learned to handle and

as a man. In addition to her business
efforts, Mrs. Schaefer does all her house
