From Harpef's Bazaar.
According to the fearful experiments OF DR..
Forster, of the Italian Medical G0zette, there is
no such thing as the possibility Of clean hands
on anybody. Washed with soap and water,
with earboli0 acid. with all and any Of the dis
tnfectants in common use, our hands will still
remain scientifically unciesn: that Is to say.

absolutely destitute Of living organisms, ON be.

one part to one thousand parts OF water, perfect
cleanliness is attained. and no living

are really SO palpably made Of the dust of the

Ideal Catalogues.


think if were asked to name my ideal of q
catalogue of reference it would be that of the
Boston library. The titles are in alphabetical
order, and there are occasionally most useful
notes. The typographical arrangement, in It's
unobtrusive contract and economy of space, Is
much to be commended. Happily for the man
who seeks for Information, there Is no parade
Of arrangement. The Brooklyn library cata-
logue is an elaborate affair. 1t consists OF hum
dreds of alphabetical arrangements, among
which the unfortunate consulter has the pleas
ure Of laundering about: This is called in
America the simplest dictionary system. We
for one language is found enough in dictfon-
ary. However, the names OF authors and their
Christian names are given with punctilio to
which we are strangers, and should turn to
the Brooklyn catalogue IL L wanted the exact
name of an English author. And ii, 9. e., the
names of GOethes different works in the collec-
tions called "Werke'' were desired, here Is the
best place to look for the Information, Tor ordi-
nary mortals cannot always have German bib
biographies or publishers catalogues at hand.

The Busy Expressmen.

The Busy Expressmen.
AN UNPRECEDENTED GLUT OF CHRISTMAS PACK
AGES TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NEXT TO
NEW YORK IN THE MATTER OF HOLIDAY
PRESENTS.
Mr.. Moss, the agent for Adams express COM
pany, says they have carried more packages Of
Christmas presents this year than ever before.
They have been busy night and day since Mon
day, and yesterday they handled 81 per cent
more packages than they did on the same day
last year. Since last night and up to noon to-
day over 1000 packages arrived in the city.
The scene around the express office yesterday
and to-day was most interesting. The floor was
piled up with boxes, and people with boxes on
their shoulders and in their arms crowded up
to the scales and to the counter to get them
weighed and receipted for.
Washington, Mr.. Moss says, is the greatest
city in the world, unless it be New York, for
just as much as they could do for a whole week
to handle all the matter. The fear and de-
preston which hung over the department
clerks has passed away, and the increased num-
Der of presents and their greater value shows for
1t. Presents are sent from here to every state
and territory in the Union, even to Alaska and
many presents go to India, Japan and China
But the number OF presents coming in is three
times greater than the number sent out. The
extent Of the exchange of presents with New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia is
something astonishing. Some Of the wealthy
winter residents here get as many as twenty
hve boxes or packages in a load, and they bring
down carriage loads to send off.

The Hayiland NyStery.

THE WAGON LOAD OF EvERGREENs.
The Washington police engaged in the search
for Haviland are making an effort to trace the
wagon loaded with evergreens which passed
along the road where Haviland was last seen
last Thursday night. There were, it is stated,
three colored men in this wagon, and they were
rather disorderly. 1t is considered as one OF
were killed, might have been hauled off the
road and taken to Rock creek. Officers are ex-
ploring the banks of Rock creek to-day in search
of wagon tracks.
ANOTHER SUPPOSED CLEw.
Major Dye received yesterday letter from a
resident of Montgomery county stating that
the night before a man in striped clothes had APP
piled to his house and asked to be provided
that he was on his way to Phil
adelphia. That night camp fire
was seen in the woods, and it is supposed the
man with the striped suit camped out. The
writer supposed that this man or his compan-
IONS might nave been concerned in making
away with Haviland No arrests. however, have
escaped from the workhouse here, except the
two who escaped Monday night since Mr.. Havi-
land disappeared. 1t is supposed that the man
who appeared in Montgomery county Monday
night was one OF these men.
AN ABSURD STORY.
Detective Block, who has been engaged in the
effort to unravel the mystery, stated this after
noon that nothing new had been discovered.
When asked about the story that Haviland's
body had been brought to this city and
disposed of to a medical college, he said that
only in the Imagination of its author.
No medical college, he said, would buy body
like that without some inquiry, especially after
amysterious disappearance had been reported.

Tan De taken as q barometer of the times, in O

usually good times. Merchants and their
clerks look tired, but happy and contented. In
many stores where toys and holiday novelties
are sold the rush within the past forty-eight
hours has been 50 great that many people have
been obliged to leave unserved. The clerks
expect, and many Of them rather like, the

some clerks are as proud of the increased sales
IN their departments as the employer himself.
PEELED to keep open later during this season
about ne-half of the force is allowed Off every

continued the clerk, "because they generally

Our larger merchants MAKE preparations six
months ahead for the holiday season, and, in
fact, for every other season. Some of them
have already bought white goods and other
materials of the thnnest textures for the COM
Ing summer. The business mar lives from six
months to year ahead of his customers, who
now admire what he admired halt o year ago.
The clerks, with their nerves strained to their
utmost tension, think the just admiration of
the purchasers 'gush,' and become almost sick
at the constant, never ending oh! how ex-
qusite; think will buy this for Emma, or
George &c. The demand for fine goods, for
wear, and also handsome ornamental wares,
was never so great at any previous Christmas in
this city. Every merchant seems to have made
unusual preparations for big business, and We
believe none are being disappointed.
New houses have opened up among up, and
seem to find plenty Of business. The old ones
are enlarging their stores to meet the require

is yet room in Washington for real live business
