Fresh air is essential to good health.
and there are certain diseases In
which a change of airs5is by far the
m ost# powerful means of restoration
to health This is particularly true of
consumption There are many lesser
failures OF health, however such as
.lansuor and dyspepsia, coughs and
col ds-which require change of air.
The change decided on must, of
COURSE be made with reference to
the nature OF the case. The delicate
and consumE tive. for example, must
mot be sent to a bleak, cold situation.
even though these will often be much
the better for bracing atmosphere.
Without a full and free exposure to
Sout-door air no case OF consumption
ever has been cured; while With IT,
and 1t alone, many cases have been
and may be cured. No rem edy known

the great remedy for Impurities Is
ventilation. 1t is obvious, however,
that the air of an inhabited room

as pure as the external atmosphere,
so that the object OF VENT latton must

PITFALLS OF BIOGRAPHY.
New York Evening Post.

& i :
The theory has been advanced that,
eventually. the novel will be supplant-
ed by the biographical form. This is
unlikely, for one thing that endears
fiction TO the reading public is not
merely the consciousness of the inter-
esting tale and characters, hut the sub
consciousness that this is fiotion-that
story and characters are merely fig-
nlents. The biography, on the other
hand, has no such ally. 1t is stripped
of glamour. 1t is simply beam of
dry light which plays more or less
gracefully upon an isolated specimen
of humanity. Theoretically, the task
of writing biography is siruple in
practice 1t demands. like poetry, ali
solute perfection, OF poetry. a certain
college instructor remarked that "a

Then followed the invincible cavalry

Sheridan. Line after line, with all the
implements of war so terrible, yet
grand. passed before the reviewing
stand of President Andrew Jackson,
and his Cabinet. Generals Grant,
Meade and Sherman were on the stand
with them, and they often had to bow
in response to the cheers of the men
under their command.
The next day. MayS24th. came General
Sherman and his men who marched to

and brave Tennessee that is those who
were left, their experience to tell, but
Where We're the thousands, who never

The last command in that review was
General Custers. 1t was said the rea-
son for their being last in line was

From the front of the treasury we

again. General Custer was covered
