Many persons, with the best will in the world to live in obedience to Iho laws of health, make a failure of the open-air night, of which olio now hears so much, and, which is, ht fact, the chief depen- dence in the t'ca'nlent of tuberculosis. '!'Isere aro several reasons why the at- tempt to sleep outdoors, whether literally or in a wide-open room, results ill fail- ure. It is such a r'Idieal departure with so many persons that they do not huve the liest idea how to start it. A great many of them have at the back of their minds a sort of lingering impression that discomfort is a part of the treatment ; that to become hardened ono must be wretched, and that misery and virtue are born companions. As comfort is not ex- pected, (here aro no plans made to cap- ture 11. The would -bo disciple of health simply throws up all the windows, gets into bed with the usual coverings, per- haps lies all night with the uncovered ?head in a direct draft of air, shivers in semi-eakef')Iness for hours, and then, on rising in the morning chilled and de- vitalized, perhaps coughing and snes z - Ing, condemns the whole scheme as a snare:, returns. the next night to the closed -window plan, and launches him- self upon society as the prophet of stuffi- ness.

Mrs. Osborne, wife of Andrew Osborne, clerk of the Toonship PI Kennebec, Frontenae County, Ont., writs:: "1 cannot speak too highly cf I)r. Williams' fink PiILs, fur they did for ole what doctors foiled to do. Some year, ago I was attacked by sell -rheum in the hands, caused by a rundown c( ndilion of my blood. I endured the tortures of this terrible disease 'sr seine Ume, and only thesso who have 1 cen similarly nfllicted can realize my suffering. At times my hands were so bad that 1 conld not comb my hair. I was helpless. I consulted a doctor but Ws treatment failed to !x'nefit me --my case seemed Incurable. While in this condition I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them a trial. Soon I began to improve, and by the time I had taken about a dozen boxes 1 was completely cured, and 1 have not since had the slightest return of the trouble. 1 can heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all similar suf- fereils," You can't cure eczemn, salt -rheum and skin eruptions with salves and out- ward applications.

Down coverlets aro invnlunble for these ,cold, fresh -air nights, for they are as light as they are waren. Many persons are averse to heavy bed -clothing, and they are right. Weight does not neces- sarily imply warmth, and it is foolish to r use up vital force in holding up heavy weights coning the hours consecrated to rest. The sleeping garment tlself should be of some light an I warm material, pre- ferably woollen. Special thought should bo given to the protection o1 the head. People. at any rale hi this part of the world. are not Accustomed to going bare- headed in the open air, and there is really 11/ reason why they should expect to do ro with impunity for seven or eight hours in cold weather at nigral. A soft cop cut to rover the ears and to hang down the bock of the neck should always be worn. This shape doses the little space between the cap and the bedclothes, and inci- dentally prevents tinny a stiff neck. A hot-water bottle is a good friend en a bitter night, and is worth more than limey top spreads, for the bottle gener- ates heat wells the spread only retains ft. -Youth's Companion. THE i1O1' WATER BAG. A 111110 intelligent care given the hot water bag will make it last longer. In preparing it for use, the water should be below boiling point and do not fill the bag, half full being the right quantity. Place the bag on your lap and carefully press out the steam before putting in Hte stopper. This makes the bag softer, as 11 is relien'd of the pressure the steam snakes. When not using the bag drain out the water and hang 1 it bottom u) side up for a little while, until the last drops of troislure have dropped out, then lake it down and blow a little air Into it, just enough to kiep the inside from com- ing together as it will do if there is no air In the bag. This means destruction lo the rubber if it has to bo pulled apart. Never fold a rubber bag after it hue once been used. Rubber in any form Is not pleasant to the touch, so the rubber ling should ham a cover that Ls easily slipped on and off as required. The softness of fleecy eiderdown gathered into the neck by means of a ribbon makes a gratify - 'fug cover for the patient to come in contact 'with, or the cover may be crocheted with soft zephyr.

Minister of the Gospel Attempted to Lower One of the goals. It was on board the Northern Llgnt, says Captain Osbon in "A Sailor of For- tune," that a false alarm of fire Was sounded and disaster prevented only by prompt action. A passenger looking down through the boiler hatch saw the red -painted boiler fronts, and seeing the Came -like color acrid a cloud of steam, shouted "Fite!" immediately the whole vessel was In an uproar and a danger- ous panic was imminent. t was ono c f the under -officers. The climax came when the quarter- master saw a minister of the gospel on the tail trying lower k)thebwo o f one Y g r f the ship's boats. i s bof Iran to him and ordered hire to corno down on deck. 'fhe minister paid no attention, and 1 seized his coat tail to drag him down by force. Perhaps it win: an old coat, for the seams parted, and ti s'cand later I had the ministerial coat fail in my hands. He carte down then. Ile was angry, and was likewise a spectacle to look upon. Ile started - n to CRiTindignation h an In rrtnli0 meting, but most of the passengers had recovered from their frig) t by this time, and were inclined to re merry at the reverend gentlemans expense. He went raging to the captain, who summoned me to appear. 1 came, still carrying the coat Tail in my hand. "\1r. Osbon," he said, "what are your orders in ease of n false alarm of fire?" "My orders," I said, "are to stop i1 by any means necessary. 1 may knock a elan down, throttle hint, or split hint wide open." The captain turned to the irate min- ister. "Those are Mr. Osbon's orders," be said. "You are fortunate that it was only your cora that was split open." The danger front the false alarm of fire on ship -Load is second only to the real thing, and is always a peril to :a' met promptly. .1r --- SAVED BAi3Y:S LIFE.

Siranue Fulfillment in Case of the Mon- tauue Fumfic- Instance From India. Ghosts have been made a subject of careful scientific inquiry ; we wonder that the Psychical Research Society does not enlarge its sphere and investigate the failure or fulfilment of prophecies and curses, hereditary or otherwise. Many fumities must line very curious legends to tell of this character, and in not a few cases, as the curse or pro- phecy has passed or been supposed to have passed from one generation► to another, there is plenty of material for investigation. Ono of the most singular recorded in- stances of ace apparent fulfilment of a curse, says the London Chronicle, is told of the Montague family, the original pos- sessors of the (A.wdray estate at Mid- hurst, now in the hands of the Earl of Egmont. The Cnwdray prulrvIy be- longed in the days of Henry VIII. to Lite Roman I:a'1E111C Church, being a & le•n- dence of I{rasebnur'1e 1'1401)', ,Cine por- tions of which are still to be seri.

Surely here, in this old-world spot, there would be something in his line. Ilo knocked sharply at the door, and a weury-looking w•awn answered : "Do you happen to have any antique ferniture, madam?" he inquired, "or any old oruanlents, such as heathen tdols, or such -like things?" The woman looked puzzled for moment. "1 think I've got one," she said length. Agog with expectation, he followed her itilo the house and to a room where lay a hulking fellow who was fust asleep on a couch. There it is," she replied, pointing to the couch. "Ile's Ihe'only idle Thing I've got in the place -hasn't done any work for years, he may do for you ; but he's certainly no ornament." the at THE GOVERNMENT `Oxomulsion AND ZAM-BUK SURVEY OUT 1110N FORT WILLIAM .
