A Man to Whom Vanderbilt Gave
Farm.

The first wife of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt and the wife of Samuel Carr
were sisters. While Vanderbilt was
laying the foundation of his great for
tune Carr was going backward. He
finally became almost destitute. Com
modore Vanderbilt then bought good
farm, stocked it, and turned it over to
Mr.. Carr as a present; but it was not
long before Carr had spent everything
He appealed for another trial, but the
Commodore was memorable. The result
was was that Carr had to be taken to
the Richmond County Poor-House,
where he has remained for the last
twenty years. Recently Mr.. William X
Vanderbilt, the grandson of Commodore
Vanderbilt, interceded, and now Mr..
Carr, who is seventy years old, is in st.

The Enormous Manufacture of Matches.

Some idea of the size of the match
trade may be gained by glance at the
figures paid for stamps. The Govern
ment eNacts "a revenue of one cent per
100 on matches manufactured. During
the year ending May, 1881, one com
pany paid for stamps $4,5O0,0O0 This
year the amount paid will be increased
500, 900. There are 200 matches in "A
box. The tax is two cents; they are sold
to the grocer for three cents, and re-
tailed at five.
Four million five hundred thousand
dollars represent 10000, 900 one-cent
stamps. AS each stamp represents 100
matches. the grand total manufactured
is 45, 800, 900, 600 matches, or 277 800. 600
tive-cent boxes, st. Louis Post DiSpatch.

- In spite of her many cares and sor
rows, Mrs Myra Clark Gaines is still as
bright and lively AS girl of sixteen.
Though she has been fighting for her
rights for the last forty-sx years, her
light, ringing laugh has lost none of its
freshness. Her confidence in ultimate
success is still mistaken.

Charcoal is used as a purifier and dsinfectant

use is much misunderstood. The soil of lin
tied enclosure saturated with decaying organic
matter that gives out offensive odors may be
made to retain to q certain extent these odora
by covering the soil with pulverized charcoal to
a considerable depth. Charcoal is very porous

excellent altering properties retaining certain
classes of impurities held in solution In LIQUIDS

this means you simply filter out Of

use of charcoal. The surfaces Of the dran-hop-
per, where fluids Of this character are thrown

thorough cleansing with water The smell
which will still proceed from such contrivances,
then must be attributed to the matter that re-
mains upon the inner surfaces of the openings,
gratings and waste pipe, which cannot be
reached by the brush, and the only effectud
remedy for this Is an occasional application or
q solution of muriatic acid, which will loosen
the matter and cleanse these inner surfaces:
after which q more frequent application
of solution Of chloride OF sodium or
carbolic acid will deodorize them. A
A piece of carbolic soap is sometimes placed in
such drain-hoppers above the grating with
much more reason than the use Of a lump Of
charcoal for the same purpose The soap is dis
solved by the water thrown upon IL and its

never reach. HEALTH.
