The Mystery of Yellow Fever.

New York Times Communities
ticn: This is simple, but terrible.
1t is specific poison, which is never
generated anew, but always propa-
gated from old stock. 1t is killed
by frosts and various disintectants,
of which fresh air, plenty of soap
and water, a solution of sulphate of
zinc for bed and body clothes, and
sulphate of iron and carbolic acid
for streets, yards, privies, cutters
and all dirty holes. 1t Is always
imported into this country from
places where thereis no frost, such as
Havana, Vera Cruz and other places.
The yellow fever patient is not per-
sonally infectious or contagious,
but everything which comes from
him becomes so outside of the body
by changes which take place in
the course of few days. Thus,
the sweat, which soaks the bed and
body linen becomes infectious, I'M
less this clothing is dropped at once
into solution of sulphate of zinc,

fectant, and then quickly and care
fully washed. The vomits, the
blood from the various hemor-
rhages, the urine, and the passages
from the bowels, unless disinfected
at once, soon produce malaria
which infects Others If these
things are thrown out upon the
ground, u poisonous malaria will
arise from them; if into privies, the
matter becomes still worse. If dirty
clothing is put under beds or in
closets or in corners of rooms, a
malaria will arise from it. If urine
Is left to stand and spoil and putrify
the same thing will happen, etc. Al!
the public disinfection of streets,
yards, cutters, privies, ETC., will
amount to little or nothing unless
absolute cleanliness is preserved in
persons and houses. Firing of can
non and fumigating with sulphur
are also almost useless when COM
pared with the above.

The Use Of the Lemon.

The London Lancet says: "Few
people know the value of lemon
juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon a corn will cure it in few
days; it should be renewed night
and morning. A free use of lemon
juice and sugar will always relieve
a cough. Most people feel poorly
in the spring, but if they would eat
a lemon before breakfast every day
for a week--with or without sugar
as they like-they would find it
better than any medicine. Lemon
juice, used according to this receipt.
will sometimes cure consumption !:
Put a dozen lemons into cold water
and slowly bring it to a boil; boil
slowly until the lemons are soft;
then squeeze until all the juice Is
extracted; add sugar to your taste
and drink. In this way use one
dozen lemons a day. II they cause
pain, lessen the dose and use only
five or six a day until you are bet
ter, and then begin again with a
dozen a day After using FIVE or
six doses, the patient will begin to
gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold
on to the lemons and still use them
freely for several weeks more. An
other use for lemons is for a re
freshiBg drink in the summer, or in
sickness at any time. Prepare as
directed above and add water and
sugar. But in order to have this
keep well, after boiling the lemons,
squeeze and strain carefully; then
to every half-pint of juice add one
pound of loaf or crushed sugar,
boil and stir few minutes more
until the sugar dissolved, skim care
fully and bottle. You will get more
Juice from the lemons by boiling
them, and the preparation keeps

For the Citizen.
Parker's Store.

Our village has been in quite a
hubbub for the last few days owing
TO a multiplicity of lawsuits. 1t
seems that some cannot settle their
own business, and as a matter Of
course they must resort to the law
for its proper adjustment. It's no
wonder that the people of this sec
ton have become proverblal tor
their law proclivities, when it is
known that not week passes but
that we have from three TO sevC
suits. But the people must have
other recreation you know, and
nothing affords better facilities for
it than a spat at each other in the
legal course. Some of the cases
tried in our courts remind me very
much of the old woman who claimed
damages at the hands of General
Hood because his army formed a
streak of fight across her yard and
knocked down an ash hopper worth
three dollars. We hope the public
will be merciful in their criticisms
and just impute the muchness of our
going to law to a second nature
which is the result of custom
Christmas is coming, and that is
the time wheh changes of location
are made, and as it is highly proba.
BILE that people from a distance will
locate here, l wish to state that
the inhabitants of Parker's Store
proper, are quite peaceable; but it
must be understood that everybody
who lives or may live in this sec
tion must toe the mark or some fell
low will tackle him sure. The inn
preston has gone out that this
neighborhood is a bad place To live
in, on account of the frequency of
lawsuits; but let me repeat what /
have said on other occasions, that
these legal sittings for the most
part do not originate here, neither
can say that they are instigated
by anybody here as some claim, but
the truth of the matter is that their
frequency is mainly due to the pop
ularity of our magistrates court,
and not from any special love that
our citizens have for it. Give the
Devil his due if it does bind him a
thousand years in the bottomless
pit.
A seedy looking chap with a di-
lapidated looking cart drove into
our village the other day, and in a
matter of fact way secured lodgings
for the night. Extricating his
from his vehicle and |
procuring a saddle, he rode to the |
other side Of the street and bland
ly inquired if we had chickens, eggs,
butter and rags to sell. Wa in
formed him that we thought we
could furnish few Of such arti-
cles provided he had the necessary
change. He smole sweet smile
and withdrew in search Of others of
like minds unto us-returned 10 lis
lodgings, dreamed of his net profits
on next days profits and sales, stab
llated himself and the other mule
on the nourishments Of life, and ST.
emily moved out without paying
his bill Mr.. +. says this is the
first time, but the sequel is TO come.

1t is said that thirty-seven men
have been employed for a year in
making for the remains of the late
A. t. Stewart a burial vault, for
which the marble alone cost $2lO,-
600. The carvings, in both design
and finish, will be exquisitely beau
tiful, and when completed it will be
the finest piece of sculpture in this
country. If with a hundred mil
lions in cash, we had done no more
for heaven and humanity than did
the merchant prince of Broadway,
we should feel little too conspic-
uous in crawling out Of so gorgeous
a mausoleum when heavens thun-
der shakes the world below-lC. j.

A New Disinfectant.

Under this title, DR.. John Day,
of Geelong, Australia, recommends
for use in civil and military hospi-
tails, and also for the purpose of de
stroying the poison germs of small
pox, scarlet fever, and other infec
tious diseases, a disInfectant ingeni
ously composed of one part of recti.
fed oil of turpentine and seven parts
Of benzine, with the addition of five
drops of oil Of verbena to each
ounce. Its purifying and disinfect
ing properties are due to the power
which is possessed by each of its in
gradients, of absorbing atmospheric
oxygen, and converting it into pc
roxide of hydrogen-a highly active
oxidIzing agent, and very similar in
It's nature to ozone. Articles of
clothing, furniture, wall paper, car
peting, books, newspapers, letters,
etc, may be perfectly saturated
with it without receiving the slight
est injury; and when it has been
once freely applied to any rough or
porous surface, its action will be per-
sistent for an almost indefinite pc
riod. This may, at any time, be read
lily shown by pouring few drops of
solution of iodide potassium over
the material which has been disin-
fected, when the peroxide of hydro
gen which is being continually gen
Grated within it will quickly liberate
the iodine from its combination
with the potassium, and give rise to
dark brown stains.

HER LITTLE SISTER.

My sister'll be down in Minute, and says

For that chair isn't strong on its legs, and
we never use it bit.
We keep it to match with the sofa. But Jack

To flop yourselfrightde down upon it and knock

Well. then, there's the album hat't pretty,

A correspondent delving into the
Congressional Record finds that it
is much bulkier for the first session
of the Forty fifth Congress than it
was for the first session of either
the Forty-third or Forty-fourth
Congress. An examination of the
House index, which has recently
been completed, shows who is most
responsible for filling the Record,
so far as the douse is concerned.
Thirteen members seven Demo
Gratis and six Republicans-appear
as having made upwards of $50
speeches each. Some of these were
very short, especially in the case Of
Eden and Conger, who were contin-
ually making objections of some
kind. Eden is credited with hav
ing made fifty-one points of order
and 728 speeches. Conger follows
with no less than III points of or
der and 404 speeches. "Sunset"
Cox rose to his feet SO times on
points of order, and in the aggre.
gate made remarks 402 times. 9th
er members follow in the following
order, with the number of times
they made remarks: Spinger, 372;
Durham, 365; Atkins, 304; Garfield,
270; Hale. PAT; Hewitt, of N. Y,
912; Butler, 211; Foster, 1879; Ban
ming, 1877; Burchard, 1S2. General
Williams, of Michigan, led in the
number of bills introduced, having
fifty-two to his credit.

Ben and the Bay State.

Without doubt. the spectacle pre-
sented to the public gaze in Massa-
chusetts is not very edifying. But
it is "politics," which, like poverty
and crime, makes strange bed fell
lows. During fifteen years the Re-
publican party has done what 1t
could to detatch men from ideas
and attach them to spoils. Much
it has bebauched the morals of the
time. 1t is hardly strange, there
fore, in a State like Massachusetts,,
which more than any other has felt
the Republican influence, that
Democrats should give way to the
prevailing laxity of virtue. That the
rank and file of the party favors the
Gubernatorial aspiration of Butler
seems undeniable; and, considering
that, for thirty years, the Demo-
Gratis of the old Bay State have
found Jordan a hard road to travel,
one can not find it in his heart to
blame them because they are will
ling to take anybody-even the
devil himself, if need be, instead of
his brother Ben-to beat their an.
Gent enemy. 1t is by no means ex-
hilarating. But it is "human ma
ture," as times CO. Courier-J Jour.

There is every likelihood that the
Butler combination will win, and
that the old slate will be smashed
in Massachusetts,. II, by any
chance, the Nationals succeed in
carrying enough outlying districts
to secure a balance Of powder in
the next House, that will of course
put a new and more important
phase on the movement. For the
present, however, that is merely
speculative; and we need add moth
ing to the suggestions already
made in these columns Cour. j.

BE MERRY WHILE YOU MAY.

"There's is a crook IN every lot."
A shadow on the road
Through which we journey on to reacl

AS surely as the evening comes
To close the eyes OF day,
Will grief appear; and so my dear,
Be merry while you may.
We cannot say to Joy, "Remain,"
Nor unto grief, "Depart;
The morning and the night must come
To every human heart,
And though the twilight hour dispels
The cheerful sunny ray;
Shed not u tear; but OIL my dear,
Be merry while you may.
The sun may not be always bright,
The sea not always calm,
Nor breezes bring al argosy
Ofspices out OF balm;
It's time to weep and mourn
When sorrow has its day;
And yodll agree it's we'll to DO
Right merry while we may.
Along the shores of life the tides
Have eeaseless ebb and flow;
And through this year the seasons have
Their time to come and 90;
Then let us make the, BEST OF life,
And if not always gay
Or full OF glee, why shouldn't we
Be merry while we mayf
