The investigation of the ventilating system
of the Boston school houses has showncxact-

havegdon'e. The report ‘says that no sufii-
cient attention to matters 'of ventilation and
warming has been given. .' The' examination
of 111 rooms in 10 school houses, represent-
ing as far as possible every distinguishing
luality, gave an average of carbonic acid of
L18 per 1,000. It is set down in. the report
but the safe standard rule for the tempera-
ure of school rooms should be between 65 °
.nd 68 ° Fahrenheit; but the actual ordinary
emperature of Boston school rooms is above
8°, and apoint in excess of 70° is 001m
Ionly found. The report calls attention to
ac far too common and injurious practice of
addenly cooling the air of an over-heated
com by opening the windows widely, and
tates that if anything is- worse than an execs.
ve degree of artificial heat, it is the quick
ransition to the oppo'site extreme. The uni-
ersal testimony of the teachers is that they
mnot rely on the special means provided for
ie ventilation of their reoms, and the exam-
ation fully corroborates this fact. In view
‘ the fact that a self-regulating system of
sntilation at all seasons and under all condi-
ms of weather cannot at present be expect-
,the paper recommends the appointment of
properly qualified sanitary superintendent
inspector. Such an officer, preferably a

the iron interests are brightening up, towns:
send you a few lines regarding my recent trip
to Philadelphia, to attend the meeting of the
National Photographers Association and see,
not only the display of Photographs, but eve-
rything in that vast collection. In vain does
the pen avail to satisfy; with your own eyes
you must see and be satisfied, provided you
can stay long enough. I saw one lady (a
teacher) frOm N orwalk, who said she had
spent two weeks in the annex to the Art gal-
lery alone. What a treat is in store for her
scholars when school opens; what a benefit
to a town, are the cultivated minds and tastes
of its teachers, and artist, if only a few
cheap pictures on the walls of an hovel, have
arcfiuing influence. What a blessing is art
in every station of life. A member of the
Association stated, in one of our meetings,
that photographers did not realize their re-
sponsibility in reference to cultivating a taste
for the beautiful, and directing the minds of
their townspeople artistically. However this
may be, one thing is certain, if you encour-
ageyour artists they will provide entertainment
for your visitors, and you will feel proud that
your town can boast of good artists. ButI

Before entering the grounds,wherc I was con-
veyed by my host in his own carriage,he took
me on a drive around the park,over bridges and
through ravines and beautiful scenery, and
up to George’s Hill, where at our feet lay
the Centennial Exhibition, with all its mag-
nificent buildings, its garden plots, fountains
and flower beds; and just under the hill for
half a mile, apparently, are the houses of the
different States. ' I picked out Connecticut
by its shape and stone chimney. At first this
made one feel at home, but after impressions
(of the interior) gave me a feeling that Con-
necticut was not fairly represented—7mm. in-'
stead of showing wooden nutmegs and hams
some signs of progress would be more in ac-
cordance with the age in which we live.
Would it nOt have been more appropriate to
have the old style of house as an annex to
a modern Connecticut house in all its- beauty.
But I digress again. After leaving the car-

geography of the whole place; after that the

The Centennial Dead.
We decorate wtth flowers the graves of our
brave soldiers who fell in battle or died of
diseases contracted in camp or field during
tense of that national Independence and
union which our Revolutionary fathers
fought and died to secure, and which they
bequeathed to us as amost sacred inheritance.
The custom of annually enwreathing the
monuments of our union-heroes in evergreen
and strewing their graves with springs’
earliest blossoms, is a graceful one. It is
not a costly, but a beautiful tribute we thus
pay to their sleeping dust, and the memory
of their deeds of valor for the preservation
of our national union and. our freedom. It
is the greatest glory of our country in this
Centennial year of our Independence, that
while our union stands firm as the granite
hills of New England, not aslave in all our
dominion bends hisback to. labor, or cringes
beneath the lash of task-masters. We are a
free nation. But how arélthe graves of our
Centennial dead cared for, those who fell in
the great and unequal battle with Great
Britan, which they fought to purchase for
us the freedom which our union soldiers
fought to preserve? To a large extent in
our rural towns and villages they are neglect-
ed or forgotten. I have now indistinct
recollection several of these old burial places
where the walls are broken down, and the
head-stones and monuments are overgrown
with brambles and bushes. Would it be
equally as graceful and patriotic in us during
Independence, to' repair .andornamcnt' the
graves of our fallen Revolutionary heroes,
and the dead of the past century? Clear
away the brush and brambles, right up the
stones, re-build the fences, round up the
graves and cover them with green turf, and
then have a general, decoration day, , and
strew them with autumn fiowers', and by
thps honoring the ashes of our Revolutionary
fathers, kindle anew the fire of patrotism in
your own souls fellow citizens, and thus
honor yourselves by honoring those who
died for their country a hundred years ago !
Bequcath thus the dust of the men who
achieved our Independence to your children
to be preserved and strewn with flowers
when coming generations shall celebrate our
second Centennial birthday I
ngll honor to these heroes give _
Who 9. hundrcd‘years ago
Our glorious freedom did achieve
And Conquered every foe.
The glory to our fathers’ God,
The God whom we adore, ,
For' all their noble deeds we give
' Now and forever more.

The wits are having no end of fun over the
publication in a phrenologicat journal of an
analysis of Gov. 'I‘ildcn’s character as eviden-
ced in his “bumps.” The phrenologist says
of him: “He may have the middle face of
the father, and the middle or executive de-
partment-of his brain may also be of the fa-
ther’s stamp; but he has in general three ma-
ternal elements of mind and character to one
paterna ." Which seems to be a delicate way
of saying that he is very much of ‘an old wo-

Castoria will assimilate the food, expel worms,
and correct all these things. For. twenty years
Dr. Pitcher experimented in his ‘private practice
to produce an effective Cathartlc and stomach reg-
ulator which would be effective as Castor Oil,
without its unpleasant taste or recoil.
The reputation of his experiment extended. Phy-
sicians and nurses rapidly adopted his remedy, to
which he gave the name of Castoria.
Castcria is as pleasant to take as honey, regu-
lates the stomach and bowels. and does not gripe.
It is adapted to all ages, contains no alcohol, and
is absolutely harmless to the most tender infant.
Try Castoria once, and you will never be without
it.

The Land has been constantly improved during
the past eightyears, and a large part of it is wel
suited for rarsm garden truck, while its nearucss
to a market at orwalk, and by boat with cheap
irei hts to New York, adds to its value. Property
in ilton has a stable value, recent sales on the
highway from Norwalk to Danbury showing very
little, if any, of the depreciation incident to hard
times. This place combines beauty with utility in
a marked degree; its elms commend themse ves
