EASY GAME.

You may call it a rhyming contest
if you like. But it makes a very
pleasant parlor game, and is surpris-
ly easy. Each player writes down
the name and the rhymes Of some
easy form of verse, say the sonnet.
Care should be taken to choose
rhymes with good open vowels and
plain meanings. Reconcile and tech
nical words are barred and it is a
mean trick to set down such words
as Soap" and "cash."
The sheets of paper with the
rhymes and titles are hen ex-
changed, and a sonnet is worked up
by each player. This should take
about fifteen minutes. The sonnets
are then read aloud amid much
laughter and enthusiasm.

FRESH AIR IN TUBERCULOSIS
Old Idea That Exposure to Cold Was
the Cause Of pbease Proved to
Be Incorrect.

Consumption is not contracted by
exposure to cold. Cures are brought
about in cold, dry climates. Some
doctors contend that dust and badly
ventilated houses are the real cause
of the disease. 1t is certain that
these conditions discourage deep
breathing. There is an unconscious
Swallowing of the breathing in order
to protect the lungs from the foul
air. The chest narrows and the skin
bleaches.
An interesting item states that
Doctor Bernheim of Paris has proven
that the consumption death rate is
~inversely proportional to the num-
Der of windows per head. In one
ward he found the number of win
dows per head AZ and the tubercular
death rate 1.3 per thousand. In an
other ward the number of windows
was Is per head and the death rate
SO per thousand. Persons living in
the lower floors were found much
more liable to tuberculosis than
those occupying rooms in upper
stories. The reason for this is OBJ
vious-in the lower apartments there
is less fresh air, and often no sun
light.

UNsWEEr USES OF ADVERSELY
Foolish Notion That Best Work 10
Done Under Unhappy Conditions
10 Dying Out.

Dickens assailed in David Cop
periield" the "diabolical notion" that
persons can do their best work when
oppressed by unhappy conditions He
made his generality on facts particu-
larly applying to children--to one
child, David Copperield, as a SYM
Dol.
Out of conditions that hold child
hood and manhood and womanhood
to fear and chill penury," some
child of the sweatshops emerges to a
powerful or useful life. And there
are those who pcrvert the old truth
that a free. pioneer struggle with ma
ture makes a hardy stock. And they
say that the boys or girls success
is due to his adversely! Forgetting
the many others that succumb. Not
realizing that the child won in spite
of wretchedness and misery, or that,
if the wretchedness was necessary to
his success. then his success was a
thousand times too dearly purchased.
That "diabolical notion is dying.
We are not so many of us now afraid
of "pampering the race with luxury"
or of supporting the unfit" by see
ing to it that all the race has a de-
cent living and that conditions which
produce the unfit shall cease to dis
grace us.-Kansas City Times.
