If a jovial, social glass of sprlug water attracts yon, especially with a noxious btt of i5e In it, the fell fiend, dyspepsia, steps In as your skeleton in the human closet.

And this is not surprising, for their babit of sitting in, very warm rooms renders tbem especially susceptible to the eold when they go oat, and they very easily take cold. Even in passing from their "beautifully warmed" room to other parts of the house not so warm, they will easily take oold, and then will wonder where they contracted their cold, as they had not exposed themselvee by going out. The foundation of pneumonia, pleurisy and pulmonary consumption is frequently lsid in overbested, ill ventilated rooms. It is astonishing bow much ignorance there is among otherwise intelligent people—or chronic cerelessness, which is asyfcad as ignorance—on tbe sabject of ventilation. They seem to be of the opinion that tbe same air can be safely breathed in a room day after day, and that it would be very dangerous to allow any iresb air to get in by door or window! Windows and doors are listed, that not tbe slightest puff shall penetrate to tbe room. This latter is well enough—Is a very good thing to do—if only proper and necessary ventilation is provided for. Women have refused to have a grate in their chamber and sitting room because it would be a channel for cold air to enter the room! "But," says the woman who is opposed to ventilation,

RAILROADS AND PASSEtfffMh& It is beginning to be pretty well anderstood that, howevery arbitrary the rules which a railroad company may print upon their tickets, the passenger who purchases a tlckot does not thereby surrender any of his own rights, and does not, by the purchase and use of a ticket, enter into any contract with the company to the prejudice of his rights under the common law. The Railway Age has lately been at the trouble of compiling the decisions of tbe courts in suits of passengers to recover damages for ejeotmeot from trains, and draws therefrom tbe following conclusions, which are of interest to business men aud commercial travelers, for whose information we reproduce them: 1. A railroad company may make reasonable regulations for the carriage of passengers. Conversely, a passenger cannot be compelled to obey regulations of an unreasonable nature. Whether a regulation be reasonable or not must in case of oontroversy be determined by the courts. 2. A passenger must exhibit his ticket when so requested by the oonduotor, or he may bo removed from tbe car. & A passenger must surrender his ticket when demanded by the oouductor, or he may bo ejected bat If the conductor takes the ticket before arriving at the destination, be must give the passenger a conductor's check, or some other evidence of bis right to ride. 4 It seems that if a passenger persists In his retasal to pay fare until actually ejected, he forfeits bis oommon law rlfjht to re-enter the car, even though he tender the demanded fare. 5. A railroad company has the right to make a moderate discrimination in the rate of late between those who purchase tickets and those who do not. If a passenger has not procured a ticket, he must pay the additional rate, or be removed from the train. 6. A railroad company must afford reasonable facilities for procuring tickets, but tbe tloket office need not be kept open after the advertised time for tbe train to depart.

This "cold" room in which sbe would take a cold would without doubt be at 70. Now this is tbe very trouble and danger.

DIED OF HOME SICKNESS.^ Indianapelis Herald. Last spring some quilts were missing from Gtlmore's livery stable, 1n tbe west end, and Jimmy Connelly, a little boy, whose father resides on California street was aocuaed of the theft. He was arrested, but stoutly declared bis Innocence. He acknowledged that he knew who took the quilts, though be did not take tbem. Nothing oouid induoe him to name the oulprits. His father, fearing that ho was not innocent of the aocusatlon, seat him to the reform school, at Plalnfield. He wrote to his father whenever he had an opportunity, reiterating his innocence ana begging to be brought home. The father, believing be was doing what was best for tbe boy, let him remain. On Thursday the child was sent home a corpse, having died of homesickness. When be knew he was going to die he made a statement of what be knew about the theft, and again asserted his innocence. He hated to give the boys away, bo said: tboy had been bis friends, but he did not want to die with such a charge against him. He named the lads who had committed tbe theft, bat affirmed that he was not with tbem.

THE AMERICAN PL UO. 1, Boston Gasette. Some years ago an enterprising hatter of this city made a museum of old bats. It was a cartons and not uninteresting study. His method was characteristic and peculiar. Whenever a distinguished personage arrived in the dty, tbe hatter was the first to visit him in his hotel, and ask permission to send bim a new bat. He always managed to carry off the old hat for a measure, and thia be pat in his museum. Tbe collection at last grew to something unique. In a great glass case were seen the hats of Webstar, of Calhoun, of Lafayette, of Bdward Everett, of Seward, of Abe Lincoln, and a hundred others. The only remarkable tning a boat this display was that tho hats had somehow eaught something of tho characteristics of the wearers. Each specimen in the array had its own peculiar shape that it bad caught from the bead of the wearer. Tho brains of the men were indicated by the hate. There was a great deal of character in an old hat, in spite of oar contempt for it.

Tbere are more portraits of Lincoln scattered over this country than of any one else, but tbe call for him has very nearly died onw Grant oomes next. His pictures began to be called for about 1863, and have sold steadily ever since. They aire bought now as fast as when he was president." "How does Hayes's picture sell "Poorly. Mrs. Hayes is more popular. She has a striking face, and it looks well 1n a photograph. I sell two of hers to one of his." "How do tbe cabinet sell t" "Tbere is a good demand for Sherman's picture, and occasionally I sell one of Evarts and Key, but tbe others are scarcely ever called for. I don't believe I ever sold ten pictures of Devens. General Sherman is good staple. Tbere is a steady call for him, and Sheridan, too but of all tbe soldiers, barring Grant, I think Pap Thomas sold best." "How about the senators?" "Blaine lays 'em all over. Every time be makes a speech, or has a fuss in tbe senate, I till my windows with him, and tbey go like hot cakes. If Biaine would let me know when be is going to get up an excitement in the senate, I would have tbe boys in the halls with his pho'ograph9. Blaine is a great favorite with the women." "Who comes next?" "Well, I guess Zach Chandler does. That Jeff Davis speech was a godsend to mr. I sold 200 pictures on it, and since old Z*cb died I have got rid of a pile of them. Lamar sells well, and so does Logan. There was a big call for Don Cameron, when he came to tbe senate, and it revived when be got married." "Isn't Conkling called for "Yes, but I can't get 'em. Conkling hasn't bad a negative taken for ten years—not sinoe ho got gray—and, although I keep a few ol the old ones on hand, people throw to one side because tbey don't look like him. I wish Conkling would give us another negative." "Where doyou get your pictures?" "Here in Washington, of Brady, and I do a big business with New York artists." •. "How did Morton sell vT ,?. "Not first rate. I always kept him on bhnd as a staple, and there was a steady sale, and is now, bat not large." "Who of the house sells best?" "Well, I guess Alexander Stephens does then comes Bctler, Sam Randall, Garfield, and Cox. The southerners buy Blackburn most, but most of my custom comes from northern people. You don't often see a southern woman here, and men don't buy many photographs. Southerners seldom come here except they want an office. The money that is made in this tmsiness comes from the sale of a few particular faces, but I have to keep a big stock on hand. If I kept only twenty or thirty sorts 1 could make more money, because halt my stock is a dead loss."

WEDDING

CUSTOMS.

In Sweden the bride has her pockets filled with bread. It is ^apposed tliat every piece she gives to the poor on her wiy to chnrch averts misfortune. In Norway, tbe bride bersolf hands round some drioks, that all tbe company may drink long life to her the wedding feast last some days, and the guests have no wish to let their moderation be known. In Liburnia, it ia tbe custom for the bride to retire from the table before tbe end of tbe diaoer, and to throw over the bridegroom's house (f) a hard cake made of coarse flour tbe higher she throws tbe happier will she be. In Orcasria, there are always set upon tbe carpet In one of the rooms in tho bridegroom's bouse a vessel of wine mid a plate of dough and the first thing the bride does, on entering, is to kick over the wine and scatter tbe dough with her hands about the room.

I GOOD MORNING ®%on't forget to say "Good morning." Say it to ytur parents your brothers and «isters, your Stehoolmate«, your teacher, your servsnts—and say it cheerfully and with a smile. There is a kiud of an inspiration in every "good morning" heartily and smilingly spoken that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter. It really seems to make the morning, and to be a prophecy of a good day to come after it. And if this be true of the "eood" it is also true of all kind, heartygreetings. They cheer tbe discouraged, rest the tired one, and somehow make tbe wheels of life run smoothly.

LET YOUR NEIGHBORS ALONE. No people are suoh thorough nuisances as those who are perpetually meddlin'g- with the business of their neighbors—who are always on the alert for anything suspicious—always ready to believe the worst of everybody. What is it to you if your neighbor does bring home a brown paper package and a ocvered basket? You will live just as long if yoa never know what they contained. It is none of yoar business. And if your flighty neighbor, Mrs. Lightfoot, indulges herself in a new bonnet while her devoted husband wears patched boots, you need not fret about it—he is the only sufferer, not you. No need of making a hue and a cry ovflr her supposed extravagance. The money did not come out of your pocket, and consequently it is none of your business.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLET An oft-mooted question recently came up in court: "Didn't you know you were lying when you said your mistress was out?" asked tbe judge of a servant girl in court. "Yes, I did." was the reply "but it is the custom with all ladies tbey are always out to some people." It would have been most unfair had the servant been held in any way responsible. It was not her lie at all, and it was doubtful if the lie was anybody's. Lie is not the word for it. Being "out" means often simply engaged. It is a necessary equivocation. Without it we would be "at sixes and sevens" all the while. Refuse to see a visitor, and you make her your enemy. Say you are out, and she is not offended. She may suspect the ruse, for she practices it herself, but sbe can not know It. The uncertainty saves her feelings, and

BE GENTLEMEN AT HOME. Mother's Assistant.. There are few families, we Imagine, any wheie, in which love is not abased as famishing a lieense for impoliteness. A husband, or father, or brother, will speak harsh words to tnose he loves tbe best and to those who love him the best, simply because tbe security of love aad family prido keeps him from getting his head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more Impolitely at times to his wife or sister than be would dare to any other female except a low and vicious one. It is thus that the holiest affections of a man's nature prove to be a weaker protection to a woman In the family circle than the restraints of so ciety, and that a woman usually is indebted for the kindest politeness of life to those not belonging to her own household. tilings ought not to be so. The man who, because it will not be resented, inflicts bis spleen and bad temper upon those of his hearthstone, is a small coward and a mean man. Kind words ard the circulating medium between true gentlemeu aad true ladies at home, and no polish exhibited in society can atone for the harsh language and disrespectful treatment too often indulged in between those bound together by God's own ties of blood and tbe still more sacred bonds of conjugal love.

PEOPLE

ABE RUDE.

A broach of politeness, and one which is most annoying to refined and sensitive people, is the very general practice of interrupting one's conversation. Tbe impunity with which this is done has degraded rational oouversation, which ought to be tbe greatest charm of social intercourse, ioto a farce. A man or woman who baa anything to say that Is worth saying, desires to say It in bis or her own way, and those who have brains to appreciate It will be equally desirous of hearing it without Interruption. Yet it Is a oommon thing for a parlor oouversation among rational beings, who are supposed to know and appreciate what each other says. One begins to relate an Incident, and before he has finished two sentences, some parrot In fine clothes chimes in with ber senseless gabble, breaking the thread of discourse and compelling the narrator to begin again, or abandon the attempt to instruct or entertain. This Is the grossest impoliteness but It Is as oommon an occurrence as conversation itself. It Is hardly too much to say that nine out of every ton poople who Indulge in this habit are incapable of carrying on a rational conversation on any useful topic, and tbey indulge In these brMcbes of etiquette by way of covering their retreat and hiding their ignorance. Never Interrupt a conversation by interjecting remarks, however appropriate and witty. All sensible people will rwpect you, and eoodude that you have good wmee, and know hpw
