SLEEPING OUTDOORS.
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.

or thirty degrees Fahrenheit cailliot be
occupied in the sane clothing as one
kept at sixty degrees.
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-

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.
IIEAI.TII IiINTS.
A Good Fomentation. -A most effective
fr•menlation is made of dried poppy
head. Take four ounces, break into
little bits, renes to the seeds and put
them into four pints of water, and boil
for fifteen minutes. Strain and keep the
water for use in making Iho hot fomen-
tation.

Sore throat yields to a gargle of the

A FALSE ALARM OF FIRE.
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

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

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

°THE CURSE OF LEGENDS*
THERE IS PLENTY (W MATERIAL FOR

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-

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.
