sleeping in damp beds.-. I. slept, with my

The bed had riot been used for two weeks.
A fire was kindled in , the room, this was
considered all that was necessaay. Next

moved.; His face began to swell, arid he
was ofiiicted ?with erysipelas of the most:
aggravating form, v My dear babe was a
great sufferer for four, weeks, and finally
died a martyr, to a. damp bed. ; ; ,
A few weeks later I accoaipauied my
husband to fill appointments in several !
places. , In four of , these- places wc had
the misfortune to.be assigned the spare
bed in rooms openinr from the narlor.
The stove was set up in the parlor adjoin-
iiiesu ueurooais tue very day we were ext

part of these u.nheated, uriventilated rooms.
The windows had ' not been 'raised,' and
were carefully covered with paper curtains,
'and'-outside of ' these drapery. 'and' the
Winds were carefully closed. - the air had
not been permitted to . circulate freely
through the house, and the precious Sun-i
lisht . was ; excluded as though it was an
enemy. , ...Why was there need of. windows
at ail when . they were not used ? ,It
would have saved expense to have made
these houses without windows. Our Wood-

salt is a universal constituent .of animal

"''' Fashion and her Whims. '
