Coffee as a Disinfectant.

Roasted coffee, says the Homeopathic
World, is one of the most powerful
means, not only of rendering animal
and vegetable matter innocuous but of
destroying them. In proof of this the
statement is made that room, in which
meat in an advanced degree of decom-
position has been kept for some time,
was instantly deprived of all smell on
an open coffee roaster being carried
through the room, containing a pound
of newly roasted coffee; and in another
room, the effiuvium occasioned by the
cleaning out of a cess pool, so that sui
phureted hydrogen and ammonia could
be clearly detected, was entirely remov-
ed on the employment of three ounces
of freshly burnt coffee. Refrigerators
sometimes get musty from flesh, fowl,
or fish, kept in them too long. No
remedy for purifying such receptacles,
so simple as burnt coffee, can be en-
ployed.

Changing Seed.

Much has been written on this subject,
and much of it is true. A single fact
has been brought to my notice this year,
which illustrates the good effects of
such change. Not having seed corn
enough for the field, dozen ears were
bought-all there was of choice sample
of Dutton corn, variety long grown in
this neighborhood and well liked. This
sample was planted in one corner of the
field and marked. In its growth nothing
was particularly noticed When we
came to cut itup, the ears were better
than on other portions. We selected "a
strings of two dozen ears each, very
choice sample, for seed. The remainder
was also nice. From no other part of
the field of the same extent can one-half
as much selected seed be picked. The
land is no better, and in only one way
can account for such extra growth-a
change of seed.

To Make Butter Hard.

An English butter maker of large ex-
perience, who is now on visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese and butter dairies, gives the
following information concerning a
method in practice among the best butter
makers of England for hardening or
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather; Carbonate of soda and
alum are used for the purpose, made
into a powder For twenty pounds of
butter, one teaspoonful of carbonate of
soda and one teaspoonfHl of carbonate
of soda and one teaspoonful of powdered
alum are mingled together at the time
of churning and put into the cream.
The effect of this powder is to make the
butter come firm and solid, and to give
it clean, sweet flavor. 1t does not
enter into the butter, but its action is
upon the cream, and it passes off with
the buttermilk. The ingredients of the
powder should not be mingled together
until required to be used, or at the time
the cream is in the churn ready for
ehurning. Cincinnati Grocer.

ntrodu ction of the Potato.

Sir Walter Raleigh proved to be one of
the greatest benefactors to his country,
and eventually to the United States, by
the introduction of the potato, in the
year 1884. The root was first planted on
Raleigh's estate at Younghall, which
was afterwards sold to the Earl of Cork,
and the person who had the manage
ment of the estate, mistooll the flower
or fruit, as he called it, for the valuable
part, and on tasting the potato ball pro-
nounced it pernicious exotic. Some
time afterwards, on turning up the
earth, it was discovered that the root
had spread largely and in considerable
quantities and from this source Great
Britain's potato supply commenced and
then gradually the cultivation was ex-
tended through North America. The
potato is supposed to have been native
of Mexico.

How to Select Flour.

In selecting -four first look to the
color. If it is white, with yellowish
straw color tint, buy it. If it is white
with blueish cast, or with white specks
in it, refuse it. Next, examine its ad-
hesiveness-wet and knead little of it
between your fingers; if it works soft
and sticky, it is poor. Then, throw a
little lump of dried flour against a
smooth surface if it falls like powder it
is bad. Lastly squeeze some of the flour
tightly in your hand if it retains the
shape given by the pressure, that, too,
is good sign. 1t is safe to buy flour
that will stand all these tests. These
modes are given by all old flour dealers,
and they pertain to matter that con-
Germs everybody.

Queen City Bank Attached.

Some time ago, young Samuel R. Thomas,
Cashier OF the Queen City Bank, skipped
out of town with few thousand dollars
There was as usual, woman in the case
The father of young Thomas is President of
that institution, which was started about a
year ago with a capital of $4,000.
When the action of young Thomas be-
came known the depositors in the bank
were seized with panic, which resulted in
run on the institution and suspension of
payments.
Among the depositors was one Patrick
McDermott, who presented his check for
the amount of his deposit $3.50, which was
however refused.
Last night McDermott swore out writ of
attachment before Squire Reilly and placed
it in the hands of Constable Malloy, who at
once attached the property of the bank
The President Of the institution says that
it was about to wind up its business owing
to the run upon it by the depositors soon
after his sons fight. He states that all the
money had been paid out but about 81 200,
and that McDermotts claim was not paid
because the money was not on hand
The matter was brought before Squire
Reilly this morning and hearing of the
writ set for next Thursday.
