Anent Ventilation. » .

A well known New York, physician
[was consulted by a patient sufi‘ering
from weak throat and kings.- The doc-
tor-gave the expected prescription, the
usual advice about diet-and exercise,
and in closing added: “Never go to
church, and go to the theater only very
rarely.” There was no moral or im-
moral significance in: this, says the
Courant, “it was simplyrthe professional
man’s verdict on the ventilation. of pub-
lic buildings. . i " ' "

And it is painfully true that a certain .
class of weak throats are very prone to:

develop “colds” after being in such ills"

ventilated places. Many are the minis-'

ters, too,who sufi'er pangs at the appar-

ent drowsiness that their sermOns cre-

. . etc, while really the sermons are inter-
esting enough,but the audience are be-
ing stifled. Some churches keep the
same air for months. 'As for theaters

. and balls they are only better in being
ottener opened.

Nor is the trouble all in these. What
human habitation is less ventilated,
more stifling, surer to create a cold,
than a railroad car? It may be a, sleep-
er,a drawing-room or a common coach.
Whichever and whatever it is,it is equal-
ly sure to be too cold‘ or too hot and to
possess an atmosphere that is at war
with good health.

What the constructive arts need is to
learn how to apply ventilation to the
structures they create.”

 

The Man Under the Bed.

The New York papers report a literal
fact of “a man under the bed,” in the
case of a Mrs. Isaac Beerman, wife of a
Third avenue butcher, which shows
her to be a genuine heroine. For forty
weary years the World says she had
looked under her bed each night, her
heart in' her throat and a rolling-pin in
her hand, to find a burglar.

For twoscore years her search has
been unrewarded. It began to look as
though she might go down to her final
resting-place without experiencing the
thrill that woman feels in finding some-

thing which she had no earthly reason ,

to expect and every reason to fear. But
fickle fate Was not so unkind.

Mrs. Beerman found her burglar on ,i '

Saturday night. lie was not a very
large marauder nor extremely bold,but
he was a man under a bed, and as such
a misplaced entity worthy of castiga-
tion. Mrs. Beerman wielded her roll-
ing-pin with a resounding thwack. The
burglar made 'a break for libertyrand
a big policeman-did the rest. '

The woman who looks with methodi-.

cal regularity for the thief beneath the
bed, who prowls about in the dark
watches of the night armed with a can-
dle and a crust-flattener, _has received
encouragement to persist. Perhaps af-
ter the lapse of many years to her, too,
will come an opportunity such as re-
warded Mrs. Beerman. And when it
comes let her fear not, but lay on stout-
.1 y. A man who will sneak under a bed
to rob in the dark, will run in craven
consternation from a woman armed
with ’a full-weight rolling-pin. ”

 

Our Warm Fall Weather.
The continued warm weather, warm-
er even than usual for Indian summer,
is having a curious effect. In some

parts of the country fruit trees are a '

second time in blossom. Several such
cases have been reported in the GA.
znr'rn. Young flies and other new-born
insects, are as plentiful as in spring,
and in some quarters great flocks of
birds ready for winter migration have
put off their trip and may be seen in
hundreds and thousands fluttering out
of tbygieldsIand woods when a carriage
or pedestrian goes by. On a recent
visit to the charming summer home of
Col. Henry Huss at Shell Island in By-
ram Harbor, not only were his apple
trees in spring bloom, but young apples
the size of marbles plentifully adorned
the branches. This has certainly been
a most extraordinary year in very many
respects. ’

.This season has been one series of
successive surprises in the sudden
change of the weather from heat to
cold, from rain to shine and from still.
mess to the noise of the raging tempest,
- remarks a correspondent of the Begis-'

ter, who adds that “on Saturday I
picked from my trees at Madison, sev-
eral bunches of lilacs, some apple blos-
soms and the buds of a real flowering
shrub, while a plum tree was also in
full bloom' and peach buds were swell-
ing.» While out driving, I observed a
horse chestnut tree blooming by the
wayside. Sunday the church in Madi-
5011' was decorated with 75 sprays cf
. , white lilac blossoms which were picked
, from a neighboring farm lawn. In
New Haven to-day, I have seen pear
trees in full bloom.
of’this character have been _hitherto
observed, but such a wholesale min-
gling of fruit, ‘bu’d, leaf and blossom
on the same tree and at the same time
is a feature of so rare occurrence as to
be worthy of note.” .

It is to be hoped, for the benefit of
the poor families obliged to purchase
high priced coal. "that this mildness
may continue far into theusually rigor-
our winter months.

" “‘Tliirty-twoyears,ago,” he says, “I
was attacked ”withiineuralgia in my face
and head, mostly confined to the right
side. There was-noto'ften a day or an
hour that 1 was not suffering with that
terrible severe pain-rec severe a great
many times that-for several days and
nights I, could~.énot. sleep or take any
food excepting a little gruel.

“My nerves were terribly affected
and I grew‘ weakjand feeble, as my

more particularly in'Kennebec County

“AbOut five'years ago I was taken with
what the physicians claim to be a liver
and kidney trouble, a soreness over the
right kidney; sqanuch so that I could
not bear to be rubbed, .

“My bowels were very much consti-
pated, could not ,urinate freely, an
suffered severe‘painat such times.

“My troubles, increased very much,
and for the past-six months I could not
get up from my bed- in the morning and
dress me before I would be in pain in
my back and. bowels.

“I would] often _ be forced to drop
down and rest me and many times be_1n
such pain that I' would cry like a child
and ask why I could not die. .

“I have used for .the neuralgia all_ the
liniments I have.:e,ver seen advertised
for the cure oi ._ttat; disease, and for my
nerves and kidney and liver trouble I
have taken so many remedies that they
are too numeif'ous to mention. .

“I have begin," treated by the leading
physicians of“Mai'ne, have also been to
Massachusetts ‘to be treated by physr-
cians in' Beston.-andwfrom all I have re-
ceived very little-benefit. One eminent
physician said that Itcould not be cured,
and many physicians examined me and
refused to treat me. .

“About the middle-of December, 1892,
my wife had beenreading some of the
testimonials of Dru. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. She told me
she wanted me to try one bottle of the
Nervura. ' . _ 4

“I said to: her "I had taken all the
medicine I should. ' ‘She sent to A. P.
Cram, the druggist at Mt. Vernon, and
bought one 'bottle‘fof the Nervura, and
paid1 she wanted "me to give it a fair

it about two Vveeks the pain left «me en-

can urinate freelywithout pain and the
neuralgia troubles .me but very little.

from any trouble with the nerves or
liver or kidneys will ‘give Dr. Greene’s

when peace and "plenty reigned, noth-

more than the thoughts of having her

my mother’s right-hand man in this
work. My father was not so fond of'
plants, but as Uncle Remus would say,
“was a powerful hand to prodject wild
bees.” While trying an experiment
one night. he closed one of the hives,-
_so that the swarm could not pass out on

just then, the bees were forgotten, and

of eyes, and those who buried their
treasures had no assurance of ever
finding them again. ' ' '

One day while looking after the
flowers my mother found the dead bees,
and a bright idea. struck her. Calling
loudly for Dan she bade him dig a. deep
hole near a. favorite \rose bush in the
front yard and . repeated again and
again, “there was nothing like dead
bees to enrich the soil.” We lived in
the most public street in the village, it
was near: noon-tide hour, people, both
friends and foes, were passing to and
fro, and the “home darkies” were corn-
ing and going as usual.

Dan went to work, hoe in hand, with
a hearty good will, and my mother,

After a while she appeared with a.
light shawl thrown carelessly around
her shoulders. ' Concealed beneath this
garment was the gold with which we

country. If it could only be buried
