COFFEE AS DEoDoRIzER.-We have tried
coffee as disinfectant, or at least deodo-
rizer, and found it to answer the desired end
admirably Render.
The London Medical Gazette gives the re-
suit of numerous experiments with roasted
coffee, proving that it is the most powerful
means not only of rendering animal and We
getab!e effiuvia inocuous, but of actually de-
stroying them room in which meat in
an advanced d gree Of decomposition bad
been kept for some time, was instantly de-
prived of all smell on an open coffee rooster
being carried through il, containing pound
of coffee newly roasted. In another room,
exposed to the effiuvium occasio5ed by the
clearing out of dung-pit, so that sulphur
cited hydrogen and ammonia in great guam
titles could be chemically detected, the
stencil was completely removed within nan
q minute, on the employment ct three
ounces of fresh roasted coffee, whilst the
other parts Of the house were permanently
cleared Of the same smell by being simply
trayersed with the coffee rooster, although
the cleansing of the dung pit continued Tor
several hours after
The best mode Of using the coffee as a
disrnfectant, is to dry the raw bean, pound
il in a mortar, and then roast the powder OF
moderately heated iron plate, until it as
sumcs a dark brown tint, and Il is ut fol
use. Then sprinkle it in sink or cesspools
or Law i; on 4 plate in the rooms which you
wish to have purified. Coffee acid or coiic'
oil acts more readily in minute quantities.

MIxD WHAT YoU SAY BEFORE CHILDREN
II is always well to avoid saying anything
that is improper, but it is especially so be-
fore children; and here parents, as well as
others, are often in fault. Children have as
many ears as grown persons. and they are
generally more attentive to what is said be-
fore them. What they hear they are very
apt tc repeat; and as they have no discre-
ton and not sufficient knowledge of the
world to disguise anything, it is gene ally
found that children and fools speak the
truth"
See that boys eyes glisten while you
speak Of a neighbor, in language that you
would not have repeated. He does not fully
understand what you mean, but he will re-
member every word; and it will be strange
IL he does not cause you to blush by the re-
petition.
A gentleman was in the habit of calling
at a neighbours house, and the lady had al
ways expressed much pleasure in seeing
him. One day, Just after she had remarked
to him her happiness from his visit, the little
boy entered the room. The gentleman took
him on his knee, and asked:
''Are you glad to see me, Georgef"
"No, sir" replied the boy.
''Why not, my little MANI"
because mother don't want you to
come, saiO UcOfSe
Here the mother looked dcggers at her
little son, and her face BECAME crimson
But he saw nothing.
"Indeed; how do you know that?'
''Because she said yesterday, she wished
that old bore would not call again"
The gentleman's hat was soon in requisi-
ton, and he left with the impression that
"great is the truth, it will prevail
Another child looked sharply in the face
of a visitor. and being asked what he meant
by it, replied:
81 wanted to see if you had drop in
your eye; have heard mother say that you
have, frequently"
A boy once asked of his father who it was
lived next door to him, and when he heard
the name, inquired if he was fool.
"No, my little friend. he is not fool, but
very sensible man. But why did you ask
the question:"
"Because," replied the boy, "mother said
the other day tina. you were next door to .
fool, and wanted to know who lived next
door to you Globe.

FLrrr IN FL DoRADo.-The editor OF the
Placervile DsmOcrdt has received from Mr.
Kirk two apples. from tree Of two years
growth in his garden in that place, which
measured 13l inches in circumference. He
has tree that now has the second crop
this season, the first crop having ripened in
July. The apples growing upon it at this
time, are about the size Of an ordinary hens
egg.
The American states that s. FaIuswortb,
Of Cave Valley, has just gathered four and a
half bushels Of he finest apples ever grown
in the State from tree which he set out in
December, 1851. Also, that Mrs. Cyrus
Bartlett, has a bed of large and, luscious
Strawberries now ripening in her garden,
snd expects another crop next month, if
Jack Frost don't interfere.-Cal. Farmer,

WILD SuK.-The depth of the Central
American forests will probably yield some
new articles of commerce. In the Oiancha
there is found hanging from the trees a sort
of sack, some two feet in depth, which is
the nest of a species of silkworr. The silk
is woven over the outside Of this sack. In
1914 six pounds Were sent 20 England,
where it was made into handkerchiefs of ex-
cellent quality. A profitable trade in this
article might perhaps be established. as this
material can be gathered in any required
quantity An old Mexican author speaks of
wild silk as abundant in the isthmus Of Te-
huantepec. and states that the natives were
accustomed to gather it for expectation to
Spain.-Cd iitoraia PrPer.

THE Source OF FAT N Manufacturing
the course Of the past year, experiments have
been made IN France to prove that the tat OF
animals exceeded the quantity which could
be referred to the food thew were supplied
with The chief experiments were made on
ducks. Some were fell on rice, which con-
t,ins only a few parts of fiat in the thousand !;
others on rice with a certain amount Of but
ter added. 1T the end Of the experiment,
the first were as lean as when placed upon
the diet {; the latter in n few days, became
positively balls of fat. Other experiments
were made on pigs. II was found that there
was more fat produced than was contained
in the food on which they were fed, and that
pigs fed six months on potatoes yielded no
more fat than was contained in the food they
CONSUMED. Food which, given alone, has
not the properties Of flttening, when mixed
with fatty matter acquires the property to
an astonishing degree.
