COLD AIR AND COLD WATER.
Dangers of Keeping the Windows of a
hedroom Open During Sleeping Honrs.
There are doctors who tell us that we
should always sleep with one window
partly open, no matter how cold, how
damp or how stormy the weather may
be. Some fanatics go still further, and
insist that all the windows in a bedroom
should he open to a considerable extent
during sleeping hours.
The answer to this is that we do not
keep the window open when we are up
and dressed, active, moving about, with
a fire in the room, when our bodies are
even warmer than when we are in bed.
When we go out into the cold or damp
we put on additional wraps and protect
our heads. When we are in the house
every one knows how delightful it is to
gather around an open lire, with none of
the freezing atmosphere to course in cur
rents down the spine or against the chest,
bringing colds, influenzas, coughs and
rheumatism. And vet we are bidden by
till the Seventh century, although an
older story exists of a monk. Marcus,
who collected and condensed in wool the
steam of heated white wine, and then
pressed out from the wool a balsam which
he applied to the wounds of those who
fell at the siege of Rheinis. in the reign of
Clovis I. He also mixed this balsam
with honey, and produced a cordial which j
brought the moribund back to life.
Clovis, however, did not wait for the ap
proach of death lx-fore claiming bis share
of the cordial.
According to Dr. Stanford Chaille, th<*
distillation of spirits from wine was not
discovered till the Twelfth century, and
spirits did not come into common use as j
drink until the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and 1
Seventeenth centuries. Professor Ar- j
noldus de Villanova, in the Fourteenth
century, made a panacea of the water of
life, which gave* sweet breath, and forti
fied the memory. Itesides being good for
sore eyes, the toothache and the gout,
and having other wonderful properties.
Distilled spirits came into use in London
in 1450, and had to !>c prohibited in 1 41)4.
Michael Savonarola produced a treatise !
on making the water of life in the ;
Fifteenth century, which became a stand
ard authority on the subject, and was
followed by the work of Mattliioli de i
Sienna. These books gave the start to
brandy making in Italy, whence the trade
extended to France.

How Oyster* Are Watered.
Not every lover of the oyster knowi
that the i-.ize and plumpness which are so
highly prized in the American bivalve,
and which are so attractive in specimens
on the half shell or in the stew as to lean
the average man to jxiv a considerable
extra price for extra size, are not entirely
natur.il, and even those who do know
that the majority of the oysters in the
market are artificially swollen by intro
ducing water into the tissues are not all
aware that the.process by which this is
done is closely analogous to that by
which the food i:i our own bodies is con
veyed through the walls of the stomach
and ether parts of the digestive apparatus
and i cured into the blood and lymph to
do its work of nourishment.
Physiologists are, 1 believe, agreed that
the pas-age of the digested food through
the wails of the alimentary canal in man
and other animals is in large part due to
osmose or dialysis, and that the operation
of this physical law is a very common
one in the animal body. But the quanti
tative study of the chemical changes in
volved is generally rendered difficult or
impossible by the very fact of their tak
ing place in living animals where the ap
plication of chemical analysis is impossi
ble. An opportunity is, however, offered
by the oyster, which, since it lives in
water and lias a body so constituted'as to
readily permit the inflow and outflow of
water and solutions of salt, may l>e easily
used for experiments. The results of the
experiments have a practical as well as
scientific interest, since they confirm the
common explanation of the increase in
bulk of oysters by “floating," and show
that it is essentially a process of watering
in which the bulk is increased without
anv corresponding increase, but rather,
if anvthing, a loss of nutritive material.

tell you that a cold sponge bath in the
middle of winter is a perfect preservative
agtiinst colds, and that if you do nothing
more than splash your throat and chest

all affections of the throat and chest.

It is a shock to all our youthful preju

reasonable objection could there be to the
us doubtful whether the Davy lamp had
been finally condemned; but Air. A. H.
Stokes, one of the government inspectors,
has declared in round terms before the
Chesterfield and Midland Counties Insti
tution of Engineers that the lamp is
doomed. At the same meeting the faint
praise was heard of the lamp that in a
mine where only candles had been pre
viously employed it might lx* used to ex
amine the workings for gas; but. as the
royal commission had held that the lamp
is unsafe in a current with a velocity of
six feet per second, Air. Stokes thinks
that it is excluded from mines by the
fact that the combined rate of the miners’
walk and the ventilation of the mine will
constitute at least that rate of speed in
the air passing the lamp. He adds his

The Latest London Charity.
The latest novel charity in London,
that town which beats all the rest of the
world in the multiplicity and magnitude
of both its charities and.its poverties, is
the Home of Rest for Horses, which has
been recently established in the Victoria
buildings. The scheme is to take the
horses of the poor when they are well
nigh broken down from too much work
ami too little food, and give them plenty
of food and nothing to do till they are
ready to start out on their labors once
more.
That is very well for the people, but it
is piteously hard on the horses. About
the most painful object in the world is
the underfed, overworked city horse, and
the most cheering thought connected
with him is of his death. To systemat
ically prolong his misery is cruel, and if
it must he done the “Home of Rest”
people ought to make arrangements to
themselves kill off in some merciful way
the hopeless horses. They owe them
some atonement for having helped them
to live.—New York Graphic.

Phenomena of Spiritualism.
It is announced that the eminent
scientist. Professor Huxley, of England,
is making inquiries into the phenomena
of spiritualism, with a view to elucidate
all there is in it, if anything can be j repair,
found. It is well that philosophers and |
experimenters in the material turn aside !
occasionally to investigate and test what j
purports to be immaterial.or so obscurely |
connected with the material that thus far j
no point of connection lias been discov
ered. Is the human nervous organism, i
like an electrical apparatus, a machine j
for the play of natural forces, or is tliero |
something outside and beyond that vi- l
brutes the “harp of a thousand strings?” !
Professor Huxley, from long study, habit j
and thought, is well adapted to settle this I
question bv all methods heretofore cm- :
ployed, or any other that may be sug- j
gested, or that he may himself conceive.
