Bed-Rooms and Bedding.

The room demanding the greatest care in the matter of cleanliness, is the one in which we spend about one-third of our existence, the air of which is not changed, like most others, by the frequent opening of the doors. Resulting from the some- what prevalent idea that night-air of necessity is impure, laden with malaria —certainly an erroneous one, as relates to most localities, low and marshy ones, in which vegetable matters decay, except- ed,—many of even our very small bed- rooms are almost hermetically sealed. When we remember that the waste and dead particles of the body pass off through the seven millions of pores, the sewers of the body, and thxt a single breath of this semi-put:id compound is sufficient to render three cubic feet of air too impure to renovate the blood as pure air does, and that the skin throws off more than three-fifths of this waste and effete matter, we shal! be able to under- stand the folly and wickedness of boxing ourselves up for the night in a space which cannot contain one twentieth of the air needed.

And more. By day most of such rooms are deprived of that most important of cleansing agents,—the light of the sun,— which, if allowed ingress, would scatter some of the foul gases and semi-putrid exhalations, particularly if such clothing could be placed, in the Dutch style, on chairs, in the direct sunlight. Of neces- sity, the beds and cloth must absorb a fearful amount of these eseaping poison- ous gasses, to be re-absorbed by the skin, if not cleansed.

These rooms can only be kept pure and habitable by raising and lowering windows,—safely,—opening the doors of the room and those adjacent, allowing the escape of bad air, the supply being almost a necessary consequence, through the many crevices. Open windows in the attic, with a free passage of air through the halls, will be of great service.

Going to Meet her Brother.

A sad and touching incident of the yeliow fever epidimic occurred on Thursday. A little sister and brother lay sick, and on Wednesday nigitt the little boy died. The next morning the little sister was informed of it, and at her request was carried into the adjoin-

at her brether.

‘Has he gone to heaven ?’ she asked.

‘Yes,’ answered the mother, with a sob.

‘ Well then,’ remarked the Ittle suf- ferer with a deep sigh, ‘I guess I will go to see him to-night.’

She prattled on for a few moments longer, and suddenly cried: No, I guess I won't wait till to-night; I feel like [ was going now.’

She laid her head against her mot- her's shoulder, bid her good-bye, and died in her arms.—vansville Journal.

Ishall also be set apart for homesteads and

9. “The terms of sale of railway lands to be uniformly as follows, viz: One-tenth in cash at the time of purchase ; the balance in nine equal annual instalments, with interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum on the balance of purchase money from time to time remaining unpaid, to be paid with each instal- ment.

a. In the case of the railway crossing land entered as a homestead, the right of way there- on shall be free to the Government.

b. Where the railway crosses pre-emptions of railway lands proper, the owner shall only be entitled to claim payment for the land re- quired for right of way at the same rate per acre as he may have paid the Government for the same.

1j. **The above regulations shall come into force on and after the first day of August next, up to which time the provisions of tiie Domin- ion Lands Acts, shall continue to op-rate over the lands included in the several beits A and B, in both of which, up to the said date, home- steads of 160 acres each, but no other entries | will, as at present, be permitted.

13. *‘ All entries after the date hereof of un- occupied lands in the Saskatchewan Agency, will be considered as provisional until the railway line through that part of the territor- ies has been located, after which the same will be finally disposed of in accordance with the above regulations, as the same may apply to the particular belt in which such lands may be

AS <—e Ss )

Deak Srr—It is now two years since your *“‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘too good to true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed, My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agen came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I ened three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of tliat ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
