Curious Ancient Records.

heaps Of broken pots and crockery Of
all sorts, which are so abundant in
Eastern towns, prove the first sug.

stone or tiles were constantly used for
this purpose. and remain 10 this day.

The Button Trade.

Fortune turns faster than a min
wheel, and those who were yesterday

A man whose reason Is sound never

We should fill the hour with sweetest things,
III We had but n day;
We should drink alone at tho purest springs
In our upward way;
We should love with a lifetime's love In an
hour
If the hours were fev;
We should rest, not for dreams, but for
fresher power
To be and 10 do.
We should guide our wayward or weary wills
By the clearest light;
We should keep our eyes on the heavenly
hills,
As they lay in sight;
We should trample the pride and the dis
content
Beneath our feet
We should take whatever good God sent,
With trust complete.
We should waste no moments in weak re-
gret,

Went out with the SUM-
We should be from our clamorous selves set
free,
To work or to pray,
And be what our Father would have Us to be,

Coffee O Dlslnfertant.

II Is not sufficiently known that
when coffee beans are placed upon hot
Goals or on a hot plate, the flavor aris-
ing is one Of the most effective and at
the same time agreeable disinfectants.
Ifno heat is disposable, even the spread
ing Of ground coffee on the object to be
disinfedfed. even IL IL be a cadaver, is
most satisfactory. Some journals an.
nounce this as a newly discovered fact,
but it appears by investigation that 1t
was well known by nurses and house
wives forty years ago. while some mem.
bers of the medical profession became
only convinced Of les value some
twenty years ago, while at present the
majority Of physicians are not aware
of the virtues Of this simple and
agreeable remedy.
