Truths for Flirting Girls.

Whatever idea the young girls who
practice street flirting may entertain of
their seemingly innocent pastime. it
may be set down As q certainty that
when \ respectable young man desires
the acquaintance of one who may some
day become his wife he docs not 90 out
on the street and seek her acquaintance
through Irritation. But. on the other
hand, the flirt of the street. no matter
how innocent and fair her attentions
may be, is the last person he would seek
as his life's companion. He desires
purity. without and above suspicion.
The young lady who engages in this
kind of pastime should bear in mind
that she not only endangers her reputa-
ton and leaves a stain upon her good
name. but her name is by-word among
those with whom she flirts, to be
banded about in the saloons. on the
street corners and in the low-down, I'M
holy places in the city. fastening on her
otherwise fair name stigma or stain
that will follow her for years after she
sees her folly and attempts to mend her
ways.-Nescark advertiser.

OXYGEN AND FILTH.

The Normal and Benencent Process Of
Decomposition.
The gaseous and other products Of
decomposition of sewage vary greatly
according to the amount of free oxygen
present, for upon this depends largely
the character of the ro-organisms
which are at work. Some of these can
only exist in the presence of free oxy-
gen, others only in its absence, and thus
two very different kinds may W. at work
in the same cess-pool. the oxygen lovers
ut the top and the oxygen haters in the
depths.
What may be termed the normal and
beneficient processes of decomposition
go on most rapidly and efficiently where
there is n free and constant supply of
oxygen, and methods of sewage dis
posal which provide for this supply are.
other things being equal. the best. 1t is
for this reason that porous soil, alter
nately mOistened with sewage and then
dried, SO that each particle Of the soil
becomes covered with thin layer of
organic matter, thus exposing an enOr-
nous area to the sir when this again
finds its way into the interstices of the
soil and so giving aerobic organisms the
most favorable conditions for their de-
velopment, produces such excellent re-
suits; and in like manner the agitation
of sewage with large quantities Of water.
or the forcing of air through it, 80 rs to
allow access Of the dissolved oxygen to
every particle, results in rapid decOm-
position and the ultimate publication Of
the mass, while at the same time the
products are compounds of nitrogen
which are very valuable in many ways.
On the other hand, soil constantly
saturated with sewage, as in the vicinity
of a leaky cess-pool, can not thus purify
itself. and the decomposition which goes
on under such circumstances gives rise
to products which are especially Often
sive and dangerous. communicating the
ground water, and through this the
wells and springs in the vicinity. and
concentrating also the ground air.

A vFRITAeLE VACUUM.

Pc was a dude,
His attitude
Was striking rs he sat
On the veranda balustrade,
The while cigarette he made.
He wore derby hat.
With such brim,
II covered him.
His coat was made SO tight
His arms could never touch his SIDE;
His elbows thus extended wide
Were really quite . sight.
His trousers, too,
Exposed to view
A limb SO very slight,
Yon scarce could tell it from the cane,
The silver head of which he fain
Would swallow IL he might.
He uttered slow:
Jaw. don't you know,
This really's quite bore"
Then rolled his cigarette again,
And looked as If he tried in vain
To think of something more.
But no! you see
vacuity,
On every feature plain:
Beyond his cigarette and clothes,
He absolutely nothing knows
Except to suck his cane.

Eiitors Clarion:


In your issue Of the 10Th you say
at was stated i'll the Sentinel the
other day that Judge Bussey did
not know that his name was on the
Warnoth t cnet until he WAS cleo
ted And YOU ask the question.

has consent!
Answer. In 1868 there were two
Republican tickets i'll the field, one
headed by Warmoth and the other
by Judge Taiferro. There was no
Democratic ticket in the field at all,
for the reason that the Democratic
party had not then been organized.
So that Democrats who have been
such since the organization Of the
party afterwards, were then forced
to support one or the other ofthe
Republicar: tickets. 1 favored the
election of Taliferro. When the
election came off found that my
name had been placed on the War
moth ticket and / was elected. 1t
was placed there without my knowl-
edge or consent, and very much to
my surprise. Are you satisfied on
this point? If so, say 50.
