The Huron Expositor, 1890-01-03, Page 6a" sts People 'Who Have no Christ- mas. There are people who can enjoy only a =all part, if any, of the Happiness of the Christmas season. Such are kings and emperora, for example, who hive all through the year, in the greatest abund- ance, every pleasant thing that usually distinguishes Christmas from other days. For one thing, they sit down to Christma,a dinner about three hundred and sixty-five times a year. Madame .Carette, who was second reader to the Empress Eugenie, has told the world lately that the court party at the Tuil- eries had green peas, strawberries and peaches for dinner nearly every day of the year. Not canned, as we have them,- nor preserved, bat fresh from the greenhouses of Versailles. They had besides what she called " double courses," and all served with such ease and rapidity that they de- spatched the entire repast in three- quarters of an hour. It is obviously impossible that people who are fed in this. way alt the time can have any par- ticular pleasure in a Christmas dinner. Then asp presents. Who can give such persons anything ? They can show you pints of diamonds and ropes of pearls. The only thing they really want is another province, which no one can give them except some other king or emperor, and he will not, but keeps all the world in a suppressed broil by his own desire for provinces. So these royal unfortunates can have no Christ - rims presents, or at any rate, none which give them any peculiar pleasure. You may /reply that, on Christmas Day, kings and emperors exercise the royal privilege of gh,ing, wbieh is about the only thing they have that is worth coveting. But giving is part of their trade. They are always doing it as a matter of course. They buy diamond - snuff-boxes by the dozen, gold watches by the gross, Indian shawls by the bale, lace by the hundred pieces ; likewise, rings and brooches in great numbers. Now, really, people who have to give pretty objects away in such numbers can enjoy but a trifling and languid pleasure in the act. These things are measurably true of many rich people, whose very gifts fre- quently mama rnormoin than pleasure. Their nephews, nieces and cousins are disposed, in many instances to magnify their own claims and tieeir, uncle's wealth " Only this little diamond! Only this trifling check, and.Uncle John so rich i" Not that such words are often uttered aloud, but the sentiment frequently embitters what might other- wise have been a welcome benefaction. It is poor people and poor nations, and people in the ordinary walks of life that get the most enjoyment from festive days. As they are closely engaged, day by day, in doing their part of the world's ..e.ty task, a feast is a rarity, and the whole year often passes unbroken by a single event of a festive nature. An American traveller in, Ireland, Spain, Poland, Italy, is pleased to see the universal happiness which the ap- proach of Christmas diffuses. Merely having a chicken for dinner gives to a poor family in the south of Europe a novel and thrilling delight. Two or three Christmases ago Dr. Henry M. Field, of New York, was in Spain. He found the cheap cars on all the railroads filled with sons and daugh- ters travelling to upend Christmas with the old fence at hone, and all the sta- tions crowded with their relations com- ing to greet and escort them. There wu the same universal Ening and em- bracing as we observe in New England stations the day before Thanksgiving, Doctor Field himself remarks, " It was alt like' our American Thanksgiving that it gave me a pang to think that I was not also going home." Some of the newsboys in our country towns have a joyful Christmas.' Observ- ers are aware that a change has come over the newsboys of late years. They are no longet, as a class, the disorderly raga -muffins they used to be before the day of the Newsboys' Lodging , House and the Children's Aid Society. There ie getting to be leas and less room in. the world for the oarelesi and unprincipled. The proprietors of the newspapers discovered a good while -ago that boys who are careless as to their -other duties are the last to be trusted with the responsible task of delivering anorning papers. For various reasons the boys who are now carrying newspapers in the United States are among the beat -boys we have. Many of them are earning their chance to go through the High School by delih- wing papers, and aometimes the whole family join in the work, even to the lit- , tie sister, who runs across a square with a paper, or trots up a long path and thrusts the morning sheet into the box :provided for it. • Such newsboys have an interesting :time on Christmas morning when they go their rounds. True, there is Old Growler, who scolds if his paper does not arrive at half -past six, but never re- members' on Christmas morning the faithful boy who brings it to him. .There la also the happy family, hilar- lomerever their presents, who send out ten cents " to get rid of him "-him, who got up at four and workedtill seven three hundred ancl thirteen times to bring them their paper.1 On the other hand there is the benevolent old gentle- man who always has a brilliant silver dollar for his newsboy, and comes to the door himself to give it to him, with a Merry Chriatmes. So we see that Christmas follows the general rule; whatever pleasant days and exceptionally nice things come along, although the rich and the power - fin may have their share of them, it is the man who is doing the ordinary work of the world, and who shares only its common emoluments and rewards, who derives from them the- greatest amount of pleasure and benefit. Those who have a Christmas every day have no Christmas at alt. -JAMES PANTONitt Youth's Companion. _ Minard's Liniment is the best. ever made than to look on the time spent in sleep as wasted. We have improved upon such bleeping - rooms as were not unusual a few genera- tions ago; rooms forever unvisited by sunshine ; rooms opening from the kitchen, so that the spoiled air of the day was breathed over again by night; rooms in low, stifling garrets, or, worse atilt, mere closets, wholly tut off from sunshine and from the pure outside air. But many housekeepers still neea hiuts on the subject. 1. A sleeping -room should never be a small one, dependent for most of its air on an open window. Such a room is seldom safe, and in certain states of the weather the air is sure to be shut off. • 2. Few rooms are large enough not to require constant ventilation. The two sleepers are constantly vitiating the air. No air ie pure which contains an, excess of carbonic acideand at every breath a eertain amount of oxygen is converted into this poisonous gas. Think of twelve thousand such inspirations during the night ! Moreover, each breath conveys with the carbonic acid and throws into the air effete matter thrown off by the lungs, which is also poisonous. Nor is this even all. Millions of sweat tubes are all the time pouring their polluted waste into the room. Ventilation, it is evident, is a hygienic necessity. 3. Sunshine is essential to a good sleeping -room. Sunshine is a powerful. disinfectant, and every sleeping room needs to be disinfected daily. Let the head of the family appropriate the sun- niest room; the guest chamber, with its occasional occupant, is of secondary importance. 4. The leeping room should be in. an upper story. As the night air cools, many of t e disease -producing particles sink to the lower strata. It is said that one may live safely in a malarial region by avoiding the night air and sleeping above the ground floor. 5. The sleeping -room should be not only one of the most spacious, but one the cheeriest and neatest told. best -fur- nished rooms in the house. It should be emphatically " tbe chamber of peace." Sleeping -Rooms. In the most of our dwellings the im- portant rooms, as far as the health of the inmates is concerned, are the kitchen eand the sleeping room. In these two the mistress of the house, who keeps no servant, spends the largest part of her life; but it is to just these rooms that the least sanitary attention is commonly paid. We shall speak now only of the sleeping -room. In this we all spend, or should spend, one-third of the day, the iod designed by nature for repairing ie wear of the physical and mental ma- When the summer's rose has faded What shall make it fair again? When the face with pain is shaded What shall drive away the pain? Never shall a blossom brighten Atter blighted by the frost, But the load of pais may lighten, And we need not count as lost all the pleasure of life when the wife and mother, upon whom the happiness of ' home so largely depends, is afflicted with the delicate dis- eases peculiar to women. It is terrible to con- template the misery existing in our midst be- cause of the prevalence of these diseases. It is high time that all women [should know that there is one sure remedy for all female complaints, and that is Dr. Pierce's gevorite Prescription., Do not allow ill -health to fasten itself upon you. Ward it off by the use of this standard remedy. But if it has already crept in, put it to rout. You can do it, by the use of the " Favorite Presorip tion." It is guaranteed to give satisfaction - in every case, or money paid for it will be refunded. For biliousness, sick headache, indigestion, and conetipation, take Dr. Pierce's Pellets. -Mr. John Miller, who resides on the Ste& line, was badly taken in the other day. A. sleek -tongued young man call- ed at his place and secured employment to work on the farm. He said he had 0,000 in a Stratford bank, and pro- posed to go and lift it before commen- cing work. Mr. Miller lent him an over- coat and 118, and the fellow 'wennaway, and has not been heard from since. Wellington, Grey and Bruce. G01110 -NORTH-. Passenger. Mixed.

There is no real necessity for so manygdeaths by consumption when Allen's Lunlialsam will pre- vent it if only taken in time. For Consumption, and all diseases that- lead to it, such as Coughs, neglected Colds, !Bronchitis, Asthma and all diseases of the Lungs, ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM is the Great Modern Remedy. For. Croup and Whooping Cough it is almost a specific. It is an old standard _ remedy, and sold universally at 5o cents and Stem per bottle.
