The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half pint of the Medicated Fluid with
a tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. 1t is heated with a small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, etc.,
nothing ever discovered equals this APP
pliance. 1t is harmless to human life;
is inexpensive and simple in its use.
While most potent means for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most effectually used
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small
Pox, &c. One trial is the best proof of
the great advantages of this over all
other appliances. For sale by Druggists
and General Dealers.

The Conductor.

What an alert type of men the con-
ductors on the steam railroads are!
Probably the engineers are, also, but
there's no good chance to get look at
them while they have their hands on
the levers and their eyes are peering
along the line of track as far as keen
vision can reach. But the conductor is
all alive under his quiet and impressive
exterior. There is little in his c::- he
does not see, even while his whole at
tention appears to be concentrated by
the ticket he holds in one hand to be
cut by the punch in the other. And
there is nothing he does not hear and
understand down to the most needless
question. Amid the clangor of the
swift moving train, the slightest un-
usual noise or jar about the running
tells its story instantly to his acutely
educated ear and quickened senses.
And if anything is wrong. or suspected
to be wrong, how promptly yet how
quietly, with what freedom from fuss.
or anything approaching to furry or
panic, he moves towards the right
place. He is the very embodiment OF
sen-poised qui vive. What soldiers

Boards.

Exceptionally long boards have always
attracted good deal of attention, and
history records MANY instances of this
kind. Rauber Won Talberg, a German
knight, and Councillor of Macmillan
Ii. I'd. 1879, rejoiced in beard which
reached to his feet, and from there
again to his waist. John Mayo. cell
ebrated painter of the sixteenth century,
who accompanied Charles V. in his
campaign, had beard so long that al
though he was a tall man. it would hang
upon the ground when he stood upright;
he wore it, therefore, fastened to his
girdle.
George Killingworth, sent by Queen
Mary as one of her agents in 1866 to
Car Ivan the Terrible, is said to have
had beard five feet two inches long.
In the olden time, when every part of
the body had its price, the beard was
valued at twenty shillings-a large sum
for the time-while the loss of q leg was
onlv estimated at twelve shillings.
We can easily imagine that at peri
DDS when the beard and whiskers were
looked upon as ornamental, false boards
were substituted for the genuine article.
Pedro Nv. of Aragon Q55D found him
self compelled to prohibit his Catalonlan
subjects from wearing false boards. But
the most singular substitute is the gold
en- beard, which, ChrysOstemus says,
was worn by the Kings of Persia.
Suetonius says the same OF Caliguia,
the Roman Emperor. According to
Andreas Favyn, the Kings of France OF
the first dynasty wore boards entwined
with gold threads. Duke Renatus of
Lorraine was the last. and it is related
that he wore at the funeral of Charles
of Burgundy, who died at Nancy in
1477, a beard of gold thread hanging
down to his girdle. AS Jupiter was
sometimes adorned with golden beard
the phrase duream barbam habere was
| equivalent to saving De,tm eSse.
Boards We're at various times taxed
in England. Thus we read in Notes and
Queries that the Sheriff of Canterbury
paid three shillings and four pence for
wearing beard In the first year OF
Elizabeth every beard of above a fort
nights growth was taxed three shil-
lings and sixpence; but the law was too
absurd to be enforced. The duty i'm
posed upon boards by Peter the Great
was a ruble (about three shillings).
This tax met with fate similar to that
of Elizabeth's and was soon cancelled.
The development of the beard, as
well as the hairiness of the body. differs
not merely in different races, but also
in families of the same race. In Europe
and portion of Asia boards prevail I'M
til we 90 beyond India, when gradually
boards disappear. as is the case with
the Samese, Chinese and Japanese.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Miss Arletta NJ. Abbott. OF Ridge
field, Conn, has received the appoint
ment as teacher of Latin in Vassar Col
lege.
AT the recent Wesleyan Conference
in Liverpool it was shown that the total
number of church members in Great
Britain was 3S0,695.
Last year 22O of the 526 Consrega,
tiOnal churches in Massachusetts, had
no accessions at all, and the net gain in
the State was only 175.
AT meeting of the Congregational
Association of Maine, majority of its
members declared against ordaining to
the ministry men who use tobacco.
The Methodist American Mission in
Italy now occupies fifteen towns and
has a thousand church members. 1t
has been organized into an Annual Con-
ference, one of the hundred conferences
of that Church. DIR. L. NJ. Vernon is
the Presiding Elder.
The Presbyterian Board of Home
Missions is giving much attention to the
evangelizatiOn of the Mexicans, who APP
pear to promise well as converts. Rev.
