An experiment tried recently by
woman in Hoboken TO detect the
presence of sewer-gas in her rooms was
Il topic of conversation among the sani-
tary inspectors at the rooms of the
board of health yesterday. The woman
had noticed an offensive odor in her
parlOr, and she went to the agent of the
house to request that Il plumber be sent
to examine the drainage pipes. The
agent told her the plumbing in the
house was perfect. She went home
and called in some neighborS, who
thought sewergas was escaping from
the waste-pipes. Acting on the sug-
gestiOn of u friend. she sent out for
some oil OF peppermint and poured it in
to Il stationary wash-basin on the third
floor. From the basin, the oil passed
down through 4 wastc-pipe behind Il
closet off the parlor. Very soon the
odo; ofpeppermint pervaded the parlor.
The woman then went to the agent
again, and told him she was convinced
that there was break in the waSte-pipe
on the first floor of the house, at the same
time telling him of her experiment with
oil Of peppermint. The agent refused
to send plumber. declaring that the
Odor of peppermint was SO penetrating
that it would soon fill building. After
studying over the situation for a time.
the woman purchased some oil OF
valerian and poured it into the wash
basin upstairs. She then borrowed
two able-bodicd cats and placed them in
the parlOr. The cats snified the air
in the room as if it were agree
able to them, and they went
toward the door of the closet.
When the closet door was opened for
them they went in Immediately and
sprang upon Il shelf. where they re-
manned, purring and manifesting un-
mistakable delight. The woman then
went to the agents office and related
what she had done. Although incredu.
lous still the agent sent Il plumber with
directions to tear away the lath and
plaster in the closet at the point where
the cats had rested in their hunt for the
valerian. The plumber found behind
the shelf the waSte-pipe completely dis
jointed. The break in the pipe was
large enough to allow an unwholesOmt
amount Of sewer-gas TO escape into the
house.
Some of the sanitary inspectors said
yesterday that the experiment was new
and decidedly ingenious. They thought
that eats might be used in similar man
ner in this city to more advantage than in
Hoboken. BY employing their house
hold pets as pointers. il is said, residents
of the city might save themselves from
illness from poisonous gases, and alst
save the cost of employing sanitary en-
gineers to examine the drainage in theil
hollses.-N Y. Trl6une.

A tragedy, terrible as it was UMPIRE
cedented, occurred lately at Rakos-
Palota, in Hungary. A peasant woman
laid her baby under a tree. against
which scythe was leaning. The seythe
fell and cut off the baby's head. The
father, who was working near by, in u
fit of rage stabbed his wife to the heart,
and then, full of remorsc for the cruel
deed he had done, hanged himself on
the same tree under which his child had
met its death.

Yesterday was beautiful but exceed
ingly unpleasant day ON the streets. The
sun shone brightly, the temperature was
that of spring, yet the high winds, and the
flying, binding, horrid dust was disgusting
and kept great many people of the
streets The dust was at times so dense
that one could not see across the streets.
The thoughts of all reverted to the old
street sprinklers, and it was their opinion
that 1t was high time that. some one was
bringing them out again. The damage by
like yesterday, will be considerable, and it
would more than pay them to support
sprinklng carts to lay the horrid nuisance.
