A Cheap Dislnfectant.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald says that the +" chloride Of lead ia
the most Efficient and cheapest deodorizer
and disinfectant known" As some neu-
tralizing agent of this kind should be
freely used At this time in every house,
we give the process Of preparing and
using it, ~ given in the Htra'I:
To prepare solution Of chloride of
lead on small scale for family use, take
one-eighth ounce Of nitrate OF lead and
dissolve it in one quart Of boiling water ;
then dissolve one ounce Of common salt In
five gallons of water, pour the two solu-
tions together, and when settled pour Of
the clear mixed solution and keep well
corked In demijohn or jug for use.
A cloth vet with this and suspended
in tie room will neutralixs all ofIensive
vapors and = little dashed into Z privy,
sink, drain Or sewer will disinfect and
destroy al noxious gasea BY combining
with them. 1t II mid to Be- Ii general
use in England for purifying sewen; also
for destroying the stencil 0f bilgs water
in the holds Of vessels.

The Ciccinnati Breakfast Table

"Pll tell you how it is," said Quiggle,
to a friend who was complainingof being
crowded into corner, "you can make 8
fortune by going into bankruptcy, II
your debts are only big enough to make
it an object. The more you owe, the
more you make, don't you seer'
No, I'll be smothered if / do" said
the unfortunate friend. "I owe enough
the Lord knows, if that's all you want
but how Pm to pay even fifty cents on
the dollar, and have anything left to
commence over again, is one of the things
/ can't see into"
"But you don't want to pay you,
debts, man. Well but you are q green
un-that is too good. Pay! Ha-ha!
What are you going to fail forr'
"Cos l can't help it. Bang it all, what
are you laughing aboutr
But you can't afford to fail in these
hard times, unless you can make q snug
thing out of it. You mustn't plunge
headlong into ruin with your eyes shut
said Quiggles, adjusting his diamond pin.
"Mustn't If'
"Nol never do in the world. Have
your wits about you and keep your head
clear. Don't let the trouble worry you
into Jogging your brain with too much
drink. Wouldn't do at all. Keep your
eye peeled and watch for the main
chance"
"Yes-yes; see. But howl"
You must appoint your own receiv-
er, and be sure to select the worst NUT
ton-head you can find. Get q man that
don't know enough to drive a COW, and
too lazy to add up column of figures,
even if he knows how. If you find an
ignoramus that can't read, so much the
better. Make him believe there amt
hardly anything to divide, and you can
buy him of cheap"
"So, no, that's the way is it? Go on,
I'm learning fast"
If the man you get is green enough
and not too blamed awkward to stumble
on the true state of things accidentally,
you won't have bit of trouble. Whack
up with him right on the start, chuck
his eyes chock full of dust, keep your
own counsel and rake in the pile"
But the creditors-what are they to
dot"
"ThemY Oh, they can hold the bag,
and take what drops; but you must take
mighty good care to bold the screen
steady and see that nothing gets through.
Play it fine, and you're heeled, old boy,
mark me. I'm talking by the book, fol
I've been there myself, you know"
And Quiggles consulted his magnifi.
cent stem-winder and said it was about
his time Of day to refresh. - Cincinnati

The Clothea.Iine.

Come now, what internal barbarity ID
this-leaving the clothes line out after
darki A great deal of funny comment
has been made upon the custom by
thoughtless people, but it is most seri-
GUS matter, and it is high time the TOM
foolery was abolished. We are Just ~
ready as anybody to see the funny aide
of any thing, but We have ceased to re
anything amusing in being unexpect-
edly sawed across the neck or rasped
across the face by clothes-line. II IL
time there was q legislative enactment
either to hang clothes-lines sixty feet
above the earth, or make leaving them
out after nightfall q states prison
offense.
It is most incomprehensible fact
that clothes line is always hung acrOes
the garden-path. II the yard was ten
miles square and path two feet wide
crept along close to the fence, and the
woman had but i've feet Of line, she would
manage to ccve- the path. Whether
this is because abe ID perverse, or cannot
help II, We do not know. We only know
that it ID IN appalling evil. No home
circle is safe where this custom preyaila
I'll matters mot how good-natured man
il, it matters not how carefully he has
been educated, it matten not how lofty
and noble are his aspirations tho mo-
ment cl0thea-line catches him under
the chin, especially If he has pan Of
ashes in his armA that moment he sinks
with awful velocity to the level OF the
brute, and proceeds to net out the con-
ditiOns thereof at once. In its proper
place clothes-liae ID . valuable COM
