When at an earlier a'.ago of tho con

"How long can gas bo retained in a

will tell you why," ho went on. "Tho

condenses and you get through the

tho next day, in tho presence of tho

we. Ventilation.
If two persons aro to occupy aslcep
ing room together for a night, let
them bo weighed upon retiring, and
then again in tho morning, and thoy
will find that the actual weight is at
least ono pound less in tho morning.
Frequently there will bo a loss of two
or more pounds, and tho averago logs
throughout tho year will bo moro
than a pound. That is, during tho
night there is a loss of a pound of
matter which has gono off from tho
body, partly through tho pores in the
skiiu Tho escaped material is carbon
ic acid gas and decayed animal mat
ter, or poisonous exhalations. This is
diffused through the air in part, and
in part absorbed by tho bed-clothes.
If a single ounce of wood or cotton bo
burned in a room, it will so completely
saturate tho air with smoke that one
can hardly breathe, though there can bo
but an ounce of foreign inattter in the
air If an ounce of cotton bo burned
eycrj- half hour during tho night, tlio
air wilt bo continuously saturated with
smoke, unless thero is an outlet for it.
Now the sixteen ounces of sinoko thus
formed aro far less dangerous or poi
sonous than tho sixteen ounces of ex
halations from tho lungs and bodies of
two persons who h.ivtf lost a pound in
weight during tho eight hours of stoop
ing, for while- tho dry smoke is mainly
taken into tho lungs, tho damp odors
from the body are absorbed both in.o
tho lungs and into tho pores of the en
tire body.
Nothing stronger can bo said to
prove tho necessity for ventilation in
bedrooms, and of thoroughly airing
the sheets, coverlets and inattress.es in
the morning before pu.ting them into
tho form of a neatly-m.ide bed. Chil
dren moro than any others suffer from
bad air. Tho restless tossing and mut
tering, tho disturbed sleep, all give
strongest evidences of tho effect" of
bad air. This is further confirmed by
tho dull eye, stupid expression, Ian
gmd movements, and uurofreshed feel
ing which aro visible in the morning,
fcvory houso should bo well ventilated,
tho body suflicicntly covered with
warm, loose, suitable clothing, and be
sure the sleep will be sound and re
freshing and will bo manifested in tho
bright eye and vigorous growth and
action.
How Tides Else and Pall.
Let us consider tho moon first, as its
action, from its greater proximity to
tho earth, is much more effectivo in
producing tidal waves than that of tho
sun. Wo know from tho laws of gra
vity that tho moon tends to draw the
earth towards itself. Tf tl,

overhead, its tendeiicy is to draw tho
ujnvuiuo , ii ii, ou m mo anti
podes, beneath tho feet, its tendency
is to draw tho earth downwards. Now,
if tho earth wero a rigid, solid mass,
liko a ball of iron. tlii nntinn nf ttm
moon would havo no other appreciable
effect than to draw tho earth as a
wholo upwards or downwards. Tho
case, however, is different when on tho
sunaco ot tlio solid globo thero is an
OCCail of Houid lnattf-r. Tim (nn-n
with which gravity acts is greater tho
nuiirur two uouies aro to ono another ;
consequently when tho moon is over
head tho surfaco of tho sea is attracted
with greater forco than tho solid yields
to this forco, and is raised up in tlio
shape of a wave, much in tho same
manner as wo may havo soon tho hair
of tho head rise up toward a charged
electric machine Tho con verso of
this aotion holds good also at tho an-
upucies at mo samo time. Thero tho

moon's attractive force. Then tlio
earth revolves on its axis, brings ovorv

each placo as it arrives at tho wave,
and low water when between tbo two

Lie in Madagascar,
Itt ibis land, whero superstition.
treachory and murder predominate, it
is not strange that funerals aro contin
ually occurring, and that tho strangest
nun most revolting performances aro
indulged in on theso occasions. Tlio
first funeral which I witnessed was
that of n man of no particular rank or
position. As tho corpse was being
carried along it was followed by a
rabblo of mourners who woro all
screaming nnd yelling. At intervals
along tho road tho corpso was placed
on tho ground nnd n series of ntliletio
games wcro commenced, in which
spear exercises was tho most promi
nent. When tho placo of burial was
reached the body was thrown naked
into a shallow irravo aud then covered
up with earth. A largo pilo of rocks
wns then placed over the grave Somo
pieces of silver and a few other ar
ticles wero buried with tho body in
order to give- tho ghost n start in tlio
noxt world. When people of rank
arc buried tho ceremony is moro ex
tensive and somewhat different. At
tho death of a chief tho greater part of
his cattle aro killed, and his wives aro
obliged to cut off their hair and other
wise disfigure themselves. A coffin is
mado by cutting a log somewhat
longer than tho corpse. This log is
split lengthwise, hollowed out, and
10 body placed within. Tho funeral
ceremonies aro noyer complete until

Has Venus a Moon.
It is not impossible that a now plan
et has been discovered, a very small
member of tho solar system, revolving
outsido tho orbit of Venus and near
hor domain. M. Houzeau, tho director
of tho now observatory at Brussels, an
astronomer aud writer of renown, has
an ingenious theory which will bo en
titled to careful coniideration as coming
from the pen of a distinguished man of
science.
Thero wns formerly a ceneral belief
that our fair neighbor was. liko tho
earth, accompanied hy a satellite, and
ono oflhe fiist objects looked after tho
invention of tho lelescopo was tho moon
of Venus. Seven times at least since
that important event a small object has
ucen seen near Venus, presenting a
similar phase and bearing evidence of
being a satellite of the bright planet.
Tho first observation was mado in
1740, and the last in 1704. During the
120 years that havo passed since,
though diligent search has been unre
mitting, no vestige of tho mythical
moon has been found.
M. Houzeau has revived tho themo
by tho presentation of a curious and
somewhat startling theory upon tho
following basis: A planet revolves
around tlio sun, outside of Venus and
near to hor. It is very small in dimen
sions, and is possibly an escaped satel
lite. Noith is tho name given to tho
little planet, in honor of tho mysterious
goddess Sain, whoso veil no mortal has
raised. Scientific American.

By-
Attending to home surroundings.
Attending likewise to personal hab
its. Securing puro air. pure water and
pure soil.
Occupying rooms that are not damp.
Eating rationally.
Drinking ditto.
Absorbing fresh air.
Sunlight.
Cultivating cleanliness.
Taking proper oxcrciso.
Changing damp clothes for dry
ones.
Wearing apparel suited to tho sea
son. Ignoring the frying-pan in cooking.
Eating slowly.
Airing tho rooms often.
Allowing tho sun to enter tho apart
ment. Having a well-ventilated red-room.
Leaving skylight and windows opeu
frequently.
Thus ridding tho houso of sewor
gas.
Making suro that tho plumbing is
effectivo and proper.
It is well to remember that ;
Too much light in an apartment can
bo regulated by curtains, ota, but thoro
is no remedy for lack of light.
Ono gas burner will con sumo as
much oxygon and give out as much
carbonic as fivo or six men ; so whor
over gas is burnt it is necossary to bo
well ventilated.

What Farmers Are.
1. They aro the most numerous of
tho productive classes.
2. Thoy cast votes enough every
four years to elect tho President, nnd
a majority of Congress and the Stato

3. Thoy own and represent but

G. They are poor and hard-tip,
from being excessively taxed to sup
port extravagant national, Stato, and

Watermelons and (Mis.
In certain portions of Louisiana,
whero watermelons grow on tho ma
larial lowlands, it is the common be
lief that too much indulgence in that
fruit is productive of ague, or chills
and fever. At all events, about the
whole colored population in thoso dis
tricts become annually alllicted with
ague during the watermelon season,
while tho whites, who are more abste
mious, aro mostly free from it. It is
narrated that one morning, near tho
close of the season Julius and Cato
met in tho plantation, each with a
largo melon in his hand, and both sha
king with tho chills until their shining
teeth chattered together noisily.
"How is yo' dis mornin', Julius
asked Cato ; "any better dan do day

"Oh 1 I got. do ague drefful bad,
