Good Air in the House.
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. Keep one window on

in the morning leave the cupfcoard

? 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. "Forget you!" said
Wilkes. "Hell see you damned first" ,
