Clean air in the house is as much a necessity to health as clean water, and, inasmuch as a considerable por- j tkm of the air in the house rises from fee cellar, the cellar must be as clean ;and pure as it is desired that the "house atmosphere shall be. In the absence of any ventilating system windows and doors must do the work of bringing in and letting out the air. The impure air must escape to make room i tor pure air. Open the windows at the top as well at the bottom, the warmer air at the top of the room will I feus pass out.

Ketort ct jonn o iikcs. ? la the days when George in. was king, and when his periodic lapses into j infirmity of mind brought about resumptions of the regency and changes Of policy, there was an English lord chancellor who"* trimmed his sails to the doctor's bulletins. He was a politician of a type with which we are all | too familiar. He heard one day that the king was better and would resume j the reins of office, and he made an im- | passioned speech against the regency in the house of lords. In his peroration he cried, "I cannot forget all that t owe to the bounty of my gracious sovereign; and when I forget him, may my God forget me!" He was impressed witli the magmncence 01 ms own ora- , tory, and could not refrain from re- j pooting the last phrase to John Wilkes, | etffcbm he met in Westminster hall after the debate.
