Useful Information.

Roasted coffee is one of the most
powerful means, not only of rendering
animal vegetable efiiuvia innocuous,
but of actually destroying them. A
room in which meat in an advanced
degree of decomposition has been kept
for some time, was instantly deprived
of all smell by an open coffee rooster
being carried through it containing a
pound of coffee newly roasted. In an
other room the effiuvia occasioned by
the cleaning out of cesspool, so that
sulphureted hydrogen and ammonia
could be clearly detected, was COM
pletely removed within half minute
on the employment of three ounces of
fresh coffee. The best mode of using
it as disinfectant is to dry the raw
bean, pound it in a mortar, and then
roast the powder on moderately heat
ed iron plate until it assumes a dark
brown hue, when it is ready for use. 1t
must, however, be remembered that
the coffee, to be effectual, should be
perfectly pure. Adulterated rubbish
viii only make matters worse. -HO-

4 Sultan and Sultana,

Here is little picture Of a Sultan
and Sultana of one of the Bornean
principalities, whom NJ de Beauvoir
saw at splendid fete given by the resi-
dent, Mynheer Hoogeven:
The Sultan is crooked little old
man, wrinkled, rheumatic, who chews
frantlcally paste of mixed lime and
betel, which blackens his teeth, keeps
his gums always freshly bleeding, and
closely packed between the teeth and
the under lip swells out, tile latter nat
urally heavy and hanging in hideous
way. But the Sultana is very pretty,
very little, very young, and bright
eyed creature, who returns the saluta-
tons of the Europeans with perfect
grace, Her dress is a loose robe of
silk, blue and gold white scarf COW
ers her bosom, crossing it obliquely,
and kept in its place by twelve inter
laced crescents, forming a brooch of
fine diamonds, the most beautiful or
nament | ever saw red turbm with
large knot of diamonds at the side,
frames her expressive merry, smooth,
bronze face. We observe cUrlouslv as
we walk under the white arcades. in the
midst of groups of strange soldiery,
georgeously clad servants, smoking
vases in which delicious perfumes are
burning, and wondrous tropical flow
ers, while we organize with our amiable
host grand crocodile hunt.
