SLEEPING OUTD0011S.
Many persons, with the best will in Me
world to live in obedience to the laws
of heelth, make a failure of the open-air
night, of which one now heat's so much,
and, which Is, in fact,the chief depen-
dence 10 Ilse treatment of tuberculosis.

many of Mem ileve at Me back of their
minds a ape of lingering impression that
diseeinfort Is a part, of the treatment;
that to become hardened ono must be
wretched, and that, misery and virtue are
boon companions. As comfort is not: ex -
peeled, Mere are no plans suede to cap-
ture it, "The would-be disciple of health
steeply themes up all Me windows, gels
into bed with the usual coverings, per-
haps lies all night with the uncovered
head in a direct draft of air, shivers in
serni-wakefulness for hours, and then,
on rising in theme:ening chMed and de-
vitalized, perhaps coughing and sneez-
eng, condemns the whole scheme as a
esnare, returns the next nights to the
closed -window plan, and launches him-
self upon society as the prophet of stein-
ness.
This is all wrong, and A little thought
will show why. If the night air 1st° be
breathed as it: comes straight from out-
side, as it should be, preparations must
be Made to welcome it, and a room in
which the" temper num Is •leventy degrees
or thirty degrees Fahrenheit cannot be
occupied in the stone clothing as one
kept at sixty 'degrees.
Down coverlets are invaluable for these
cold, fresh -air nights, for they are as
tight as they are warm. Many persons
are averse to heavy bed -clothing, and
they are right. Weight does not neces-
snrileeimply warmth, and it is foolish to
use up vital force In holding up heavy
weights dmeng the hours consecrated to
rest.
Tho sleeping gement itself should be
of some light anl warm material, pre.
ferably woollen. Special thought should
be given to the protection of the head.
People, at any rale In this part Of the
world, 010 001 accustomed to going bare'
headed in the open air, and Mere is really
net reason wily they should expect to do
so with impunity ler seven or eight hours

A FALSE ALARM OF 111111111.
Abinister of 4he Gospel Attempted to
Lower One of flie Routs,
lt was on board the Northern Liget,
says Captain Osbon in "A-Sallor of For-
tune," that a false alarm of flre was
sunded and disaster prevented -only by
prompt action. A passenger looking
down through Me boner hatch sato the
reel -painted boiler fronts, und seeing the
1101110 -like color amid a cloud of steam,
sbouled "Filet" Immediately tbe whole
vessel was in an uproar and a denger-
oils panic was imminent. I was one 11
the undemilicers.
The climax came when the quarter-
master saw a minister of the gospel on
the rail trying to lower the bow of one
'1 ihe ship's boats. I ran to him and
orderer] bine to come down on deck.
The minister paid ,no attenUone end I
seized his coat tail to drag him down
by force. •
Perhaps it wae an old coat, for Um
seams parted, and a second later I had
the ministerial coat tail in my hands.
Hu came down then. Ile \yes angry,
and was likewise a spectacle to look
upon.
He started to call an indignation
meeting, but most of the pasnengers
had recovered from their fright by this
time, and were inclined to be merry
at the reverend gentlemen's exPense.
He went raging to the captain, W1111
summoned me to appear. I came, still
carrying the coat tall in my hand.
"Mo. Osbon," he said, "what are your
ordors in case of a false alarm of tire?"
"My orders," 1 said, "are 'to stop 11
by any means necessary. I may kilo&
a man down, throttle Min, or split 111111
wide open,"
Tlie captain turned to the irate min-
ieter.
"Those are Mfe Osban's orders," Ise
said. "You are fortunate that IL was only

Er0111 133111111,
Ghosts have been made a •subjectof
careful scientific inquiry ; we wonder
11151 the Psychical Research Soeiely does
not enlarge lis sphere and investigate
Me failure or fulfilment of prophecies
and curses, hereditary or otherwise.
Many families rinist have very curlews
legends to tell or Oils character, and in
not a few cases, as the curse or pm-
pliecy lies passed or been supposed to
have pueeed from ono genevation to
another, there is ,plenty of material for
investigation.
One of the most singular recorded In-
stances of the apparent fulfilment of a
curse, says the London Chronicle, is told
of tile Montague family, the original pos-
sessors of the Cowdray estate at Mid -
lima, now in the hands of the Eai:1 of
Egmont. The Cowdray peraperty be-
longed ln the days of Henry VIII. to the
Roman Catholic Church, being a depen-
dence of Eeasebourne Priory, some por-
tions of Which are still to he seen. AL
the dissolution of the monnsteries it was
confiscated and presented by the King
to Viscount Mnntague, who, though him-
self a Roman Catholic, had no scruple in
accepting IL
The prioress made a dignified protest
against the spoliation et the church, and
finding protest vain she cursed the Mon-
tague family with 1110 "00150 01 1)30 and
water" and
FORETOLD ITS EXTINCTION.
So long, however, as the Montagues
continued Catholic the curse appeered
liespelenive, but in Ole eighteenth cen-
tury the Wen Lord Montague married a
daughter otthe famous Countess of Hun-
tingdon, who Plunded the Countess of
Huntingdon's Connexion, and under her
Influence became a, Protestant. Tales
are told of conventicles held In the
famous Chestnut avenue In Cowdray
Park, but efforls to hold similar meet-
ings in 'the chapel always failed, owing
to Ilse lights being mysteriouely extin-
g
The first Protestant.. Montague, how-
ever, reverted on his deathbed to the
ancient, faith ; and perhaps this was the
reason Mat in spite of the curse Ise died
peacefully in his bed. His son did not
live to enjoy the estate. Ile was drowned
in the Ilhino trying to shoot the falls of
Schaffbausen, and the story goes that,
the messenger, consink post haste to
England with his evil •lidings, \MIS met
at. Calais by another messenger with the
news Mat Cowdray House had been
burned,. to the ground.
The tragic fulalment of the 'double
OUrSO of "Ilre and water" was such a
severe blow that no effort appears to
have been made to preserve the half
ruined mansion 'from further damage or
te restore it i;any way. The family re-
moved to a lodge in tile park, which has
since been much enlarged and become
the present Cowdray House.
The estale passed to 1110 sister of the
drowned heir, and not many years later
tho curse of water was again fulfilled ;
her two sans were drownad by the cap-
sizing of a boal before the very eyes of
their parents. The title went to the next
male Montague in Me succession, who
died without 'heir, and
THE FAMILY BECAME EXTINCT.
111s certainly a story full of strange
coincidences. A somewhat similar story
of a curse coming true was related to
the writer by a gentleman who was per-
sonally acquainted with all the people
eoncerned.
Three. young officers belonging to a
regiment at that, time stationed in the
Punjab decided to build themselves a
house on a hill overlooking the Sullej
river, and In doing this they trespas.eed
on the sacred ground eurrounding 1110
tomb of some half-forgotten saint. An
old Mohammedan 1)'II0 had charge•of the
tomb endeavored ID persuade them to
move Ike site of their touse, but finding
Mem obdurate, cursed them witlesOrien-
lei fluency, declaring that not ono of the
three should die In his bed and 11101 1)10

'The curse was disregerded. The
hoese vvas built. Shortly after one offi-
cer was kIlled'out tiger shooting, while
nether met his death playing polo. The
third fell so dangerously AI that it seem-
ed as if he would break the prophecy by.
