PURIFYING THE HOUsE.-Tbe sim.
plest disinfectant, and one which can be
used at the lowest cost, is to dissolve the
common sulphate Of iron Of commerce
in water, a pound TO a bucket Of water,
and use in all those parts Of the house
where water is turned on. The action
Of the sulphate of iron is a purely chem
ical one without ~antisceptic properties.
All 1t does is ~ deoxidize the decom-
posing substances. Nitrate of lead,
more expensive, is also q very safe dis
infectant. The permaDganate Of pot
ash acts even more rapidly than the
salts of iron or lead. OF late years the
use of carbolic acid "a a disinfectani
has not been so much in vogue. Its in
fiuence seems TO be more local, acting
rather on the atmosphere than the
source from which the decomposition
arises. IL may be taken as a good rule
that, in attempting to purify a house, it
is of little use to attack the atmosphere.
The vitiated air, though breathed and
containing the poison and the germs of
the disease, renews itself over and over
again. faster, perhaps, than it a be
corrected. A saucer Of chloride of lime
in a room may destroy the poisonous
gases. But it is the source itself which
must be sought and corrected. Strike
at that, purify that by destroying the
cause, and the effects must pass away in
time. The s of iodides and bromides
in q house is accompanied by so many
drawbacks as not TO be recommended.
Some old methods, as used on board
Of ships, are excellent. A room in which
q fever patient has been confined may
be rendered salubrious, and the germs
of all disease killed, by burning sulphur
in the room, at first having, OF course,
removed all the furniture, otherwise it
would become rotten and bleached.
There ought not to be, even with q de-
fective sink, a bad atmosphere in the
house, providing the source of such dis
turbance be properly watched. Two or
three dollars worth Of sulphafe of iron,
or twice that amount il expended in nj
trate of lead, used a little every day dur
ing the summer, must tend to kill the
germs of the disease. The ventilation
of a house from the cellar is thought BY
who have carefully studied the
subject to be unwhOlesome. The argu-
ment is that since the cellar is nearer to
the dangerous ground, we take this vi
tiated air and allow it to permeate the
house. 1t would be impossible in ninety
cases in the hundred to isolate the cellar
from the rest of the house, though it is
in some cases. The only true
method is to keep the cellar perfectly
clean in summer, and to watch carefully
all pipes and drains leading into it. It
there mostly that the hygiene of the
house is TO be attended to, for no amount
precaution above will prevent the
which exists below.

Aunt Prilly was gone; and Mr.. John

on the uncertainty of riches and to
deplore the fact that they take wings

spread, just ready for fight, and Mr..

But evening found him hurrying
