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. About 1520 the Irish usquebaugh be- j gan to acquire reputation in England, j Before 1 GO 1 ‘-brand wine" had begun to be distilled in the low countries from ap ples, pears and malt; anti in Lhat year an ordinance was passed at Tournay forbid ding the sale of the liquor except by apothecaries, partly because of the dear ness of corn, and partly because of the drunkenness which this cheap brand wine caused, “to the great prejudice not alone 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. — Professor \V.

Its only elfect would lie to when it was before the house of lords left : hasten the dissolution which we all know he it remembered, the disappearance of the body was. no doubt, as complete at the end of three months as at the end of ten years. Of Lipski himself there is now probably only a streak of lime left. V. hat 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 to be inevitable.—London Life. The Arm of tlio Future.

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. w H W M % Q 2 (fi STEAM ENGINES. ALSO, SPECIAL GIN- WE HAVE ON HAND SOME SPECIAL BARGAINS IN STEAM ENGINES.
