~DiSINFECTlNG RAGS.

The System Adopted at Brooklyn to Pre-
vent the Introduction of Cholera Germs.
The process of disinfection by SUPER
heated steam as now practiced at the
Baltic Stores, in Brooklyn, is believed
to be the complete solution of a problem
which has occasioned so much worri-
ment. 1t is the practical application of
steam of any desired temperature and
time to bale goods. The apparatus con-
sists of an ordinary engine of sufficient
power and boiler strength with an at
tached superheater. To this is append
ed u series of iron boxes about the
shape of and large enough to admit a
bale of rags pushed in endwise. Each
n of several boxes has penetrating
through, from the real end, five gimlet-
bit screws nearly as long as a bale of
rags, enlarged from a point to about
two inches in diameter, and at such a
distance apart as to about ,equally divide
the end of a bale. These screws are
hollow and perforated in their whole
circumference and length and, more
over, each one is the terminus of a
steam escape cock. The screws are
rapidly revolved by the machinery. On
pushing in a bale of rags it no sooner
ONE in contact with the points of the
screws than it is drawn with the great
est rapidity. The box is then closed by
a tiap-door, hinged at the top, and the
steam turned on-in through the screws,
and around the bale. In two or three
minutes the temperature OF the bale
throughout as thus exposed can be
raised to three hundred and thirty de-
grees F. Cor more if requircd), and sus-
tanned for any desired length of time.
AS practiccd at the Baltic Stores the
babes are kept in the boxes about ten
minutes. But they become so thorough
ly penetrated with heat during tina
time that a high temperature is kept up
for several hours after they are removed.
This is tested by pushing a thermome-
ter into the screw holes. The whole
apparatus may be erected on board of
q lighter, and be used with increased
facility 10 commerce atloat--M. Y.

BILL NYE.
An Amusing Incident Which Occurred
When He Was Wearing the Ermine.

AN amusing Incident Which Occurred
\ when He Was Wearing the Ermine.
L was one a Justice of the Peace.
Inc a good many funny little incidents
occurred while l held that Office. 1 do
not al;ude to my official life here in Or
der to call attention to my glowing ca
reer, for thousands of others no doubt
could have administered the affairs of the
office as well rs l did, but rather to speak
OF n incident which took place while
l was a j. p. .m
One night after 1 had retired and
gone to sleep, a milkman called Bill
Cunning rang the bell and got me out
OF bed. Then he told me that a man
who owed him a milk bill of thirty-five
dollars was all loaded up and prepared
to slip across the line overland into Col
orado, there to grow up with the coun-
try and acquire other Indebtedness, no
doubt. Bill desired an attachment for
the whole wagon-load of goods, and said
he had an officer at hand to serve the
| writ.
"But,' said I, as 1 wrapped a swell
come husk doov.mat around my glor-
ious proportions, chow do you know
While we converse together he is not
Pardeey"
Never mind that, Jedge," says
Wiliam; ''you just fix the dockyments
and I'll tend to the defendant"
In an hour Bill returned with thirty
five dollars in cash for himself and the
entire costs of the court, and as we set
tied up and fixed the: docket I asked
Bill Cunning how he detained the de-
PENDANT while we made out the affidavit
bond and writ of attachment.
"'You reckollect, Jedge," says Will
lam, that the waggin-wheel is held
onto the axle with a big nut. No wag-
gin kin go any length Of time without
that there nut onto the axle. Well,
when l diskivered that whats his name
was packed up and the Vaughn loaded,
l took the liberty to borrow one O. them
there nuts fur a kind of memento, as it
were, and l kept that in my pocket till
we served the writ and he paid my bill
and came to his milk, if you'll allow me
that expression, and then | said to him:
Partner says |, you are going far,
far away. where l may never see you
again. Take this here nut, says /, and
put it onto the axle of the oft hind
wheel Of your Vaughn, and whenever
you look at it hereafter, think of poor
old Bill Dunning, the milkman.'"-

however, prudent, and in everycase more Ger

Tie sidewalk from the town to the mill has for long time been in such delapidated condition as to make it dangerous for pedestrians to attempt to walk over it, especially after dark and Sunday night church ,goers have had to keep away from the school house on account of the dangers at. tending a journey in the dark to at tend Divine service. This has been remedied now and there is a safe and comfortable walk from Flagstaff to the school house and thence to the mill. For this improvement the peo- pie are indebted to the Aver Lumber company, who supplied the lumber; the merchants of Flagstaff, who donated nails and other materials re- quired, and last and not least, to the school-boys, who, under the direction of MT. Van Horn, did all of the work.

Two Pair on rep.

A few days since party started from Flagstaff and ascended the high est peak of the San Francisco noun tains. They consisted of MT. w. J. Hill and family, w. j.. Beale and sis ters, MT. Ben Norris, Mir. C. Starr, MT. Ralph Cameron and Mrs: Hox. worth and four children. The dis tance from Flagstaff to the summit of the peak is about sixteen miles, and it took them three days to make the trip. The difficulties of the ascension are considerable for ladies and chil. dren, as the last part of the journey must be performed on foot. On the apex of the mountaig is huge cairn of stones and tin box placed there to receive the autograph of visitors who have the daring and perseverance to climb the rugged sides of this huge landmark of Arizona, and reach it.
 The curiosity of this expedition was that Mrs. Hoxworth's four children were two pair of twins respectively aged eight and thirteen years, who with the rest of the party deposited their autographs in the box. It is certain that never before did two pair of twins of the same family ascend San Francisco peak, and the old mountain will probably carry its snow capped summit through another cen .ury of years before such an event will occur again. Children of eight years don't often reach such an exalted position as the top of Frisco peak, Ia,s6I feet high, and then there are very few families who are so success ful in their endeavors to people the great west as to have two pair of twins 10 make the attempt with.

 Three Decades of Federal Legisla- tion-by Samuel Sunset Cox. The we'll known ability and political prom thence of the author of this work will at once commend it to students of the political history of the United States. It commences with the organization of the Republican party at Pittsburg in 1885, through the period of war and reconstrugtion down to the pres idency Of Rutherford B. Hayes. The author, although a lifelong adher. ent of ,he democratic party. has not done his work as political pirtizan. His aim seems to be to bring out all of the material lacts as they have oc- cured, belivieng that the great issues of the last thirty years should be stud jed from non-political point of view ig order to reach just conclusions. During the last quarter of a century Mir. Cox has mingled with the mos, prominent public men of every shade of opinion, and no man is better qual- flied to give an exhausted synopsis of federal legislation during that period.

Changes on the A. & r. Railroad.

Two circulars have been issued from the managers office of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, to take effect on 10th of the present month. They make a most decided change in the management of the operating depart. ment of the road, which is bound to be felt by every employe. In the first place the circulars abolish the office of assistant superintendent and chief engineer of tie road. Secondly, James G. McCuen, formerly holding the same position on the Mexican Central, is appointed superintendent of motive power and machinery, and
 Frank C. Nelson IS appointed superin- tendent of track, in charge of all re- pairs, bridges and the water service. This will be surprise to good many people who had imagined that Mir. Chalender would continue in his pres. ent position indefinitely, while few supposed for one moment that Mir. Drake would ever be deposed. Both these latter gentlemen have become thoroughly identified with Albuquer- que, and both are owners of real es- tate and other interests in that city,
