conversation occurred. A brother officer On ed

Africa. Once he was out lion hunting, and had
spent all his ammunition, when an old lion came

He was preparing to give way, when a rustic in
the Jungle caused me to waver; and in an in

An old officer, who was laughing at the bold

Didn't Care to sleep There.

A beated aud rather poverty stricken foot
traveller, whose railway ticket good OK all
country roads and cattle paths, stopped ut q
small mansion of apparently four rooms and a
kitchen, in the South Hill suburbs the other
evening, to beg nights lodging. As lie stood
timidly knocking at the half-open door, he heard
the sbrill, commanding tones of the lady of the
house, disposing of the garrison for the night
Tommy, go hunt hunt up Charley and Ben, and
tell them TO go to the grocery and tell youl
father to bring Ella and Willie right home, it's
their bed time and if they see Louise OH their
way, send her to Miss Crozier's for Alice and Jim,
and see if they know where Ezra is; you take
this lamp up to grandma's room, and ask her il
she won't take care of the baby while go and
find Dick, and while am gone, you undress Ma
bel and put her to bed; and if cousin Harry
comes in while am gone, tell him he's to sleep
with you" And the traveller sighed and turned
away so oppressed with a feeling of over crowd
edness that he walked out in the country, and
slept in the middle of prairie nine miles long

Disinfectinx Foul Places.

The Boston Scientific Ners calls attention to
the Importance at this season of getting rid of
all vile smells about dwellings, and makes this
practical suggestion: The article commonly
used to disinfect foul places, is chloride of lime
bnt in reality is not of much value. 1t may
and generally does remove bad u.s. but the
cause still remains, rs the chloride simply de-
stroys the gaseous emanatons. The much ad.
vertised disinfectants ars usually catchpenny
nostrums and unworthy of notice. One Of the
very best known disinfectants is old fashioned
scopperas," or sulphate of ironr which can be
had very cheap. barrel of copperas would
weigh probably 800 pounds, and can be purch-
ased at wholesale price at q cent and half per
pound. And every family ought, especially in
warm weather. to have supply of it on hand.
4 couple Of hsndfuls of copperas thrown into q
bucket Of water will soon dissolve, and it eau
then be used freely, and is a aluable disinfect-
ant. The best plan is to fill half barrel or
keg with water, and suspend within il q mod
crate sized basketful of coperas. In this way it
dissolvcs more rapidly than when thrown to the
bottom of the wooden vessel, and thus supply
is always st hand and ready for use.
