Coffee Is Great Disinfe Giant.

Numerous experiments with roasted
coffee prove that it is the most power
ful means, not only Of render
ing animal and vegetable efIiu-
via innocuous, but Of absolutely de-
stroying them. A room in which meat
In an advance degree ofdecomposition
had been kept for sometime, was in
stantly deprived of all smell on an
open coffee roaster being carried
through it, containing one pound OF
coffee newly roasted. In another
room, exposed to the eff1uvia occa-
stoned by the clearing out OF the dung
pit, SO that sulphuretted hydrogen
and ammonia in great quantities could
be chemically detected, the steach was
completely removed in one minute
on the employment of four ounces
of fresh roasted coffee. whilst the
other parts OF the house were per-
manently cleared OF the SAME smell
by being simply traversed with the
coffee rooster, although the cleansing
OF the dung pit continued Tor several
hours after. The best mode Of using
the coffee as q disinfectant is to dry
the raw bean. pound it in a mortar
and then roast the powder on a moder-
ately heated iron plate, until it as
sunes dark brown tint, when it is
fit for use. Then sprinkle it in. sinks
OF cess pools, or lay it on a plate in
the room which you may wish to have
purified. Coffee acid or coffee OIL acts
more readily in minute quantities.
Coffee is alson slow poison, because
it will take from so toG1O0, years to
kill some people, and if wine and whisky
would be used in q similar way and
unadulterated, it would be equally as
slow. Punishment to the adulterater
and obstruction to said adulterated
stuff would assist temperance in the
full extent required. j

When TO Ventilate Cellars.

Some OF our contemporaries advo-
cate airing cellars during the night and
closing them during the day, to pre-
vent dampness. The theory is that
the hot air during sunshine holds
moisture that is condensed in the cool
cellar, while at night, the temperature
outside and In the cellar being more
nearly alike, there is less dampness
This strikes us Us bad advice, though
true enough, SO far as we know, as a
fact. a damp cellar is not necessarily
unhealthy il it is kept clean and pure.
When cellar windows are opened the
colder air passes out, producing 81
partial vacuum. This induces the
air which has been warmed by the
suns rays to enter, when, by cooling,
it is deprived Of part of its
moisture and thus a constant change
of air is maintained. But the warm,
moisture-la laden air is free from the'poi-
son of those malarial diseases with
which night air in valleys orlow tracts
is infected. Carbonic acid also, the re-
suit in part of slow decomposition of
vegetable Substances, is dissipated by
sunshine, While at night 1t accumulates
in all low places, its specific gravity be-
ing about 5. while that of air is 10.
For the same reason, therefore, that
people in what may be called MAS
matte districts should contine them
selves to The house from two hours or
more before sunset until two hours or
more after sunrise, they should close
their cellars at the same time. And
the cellars should be opened and ven
tilated, no matter how damp they
become in consequence, during those
hours when the sun shines brightest

IF the udder OF a. COW is hard and

After calving a cow should not have
meal until the udder is quite soft and

week has elapsed and only in small
quantity. No meal should be given
for a month before calylng.
In planting an orchard the young
trees should be slightly inclined to-
wards the direction of the prevailing
winds. The trees in all old orchards
lean as they were bent by the wind
while young, and most OF these old
orchards were set when there was more
forest, and winds were much less vio-
lent than now. More care should be
taken now that our landscapes are de-
nuded Of natural windbreaks.
Gosli1gs should be fed for afew days
on soft food, as boiled oat and corn
mush, broken boiled potatoes, and
crushed wheat. They will soon begin
to eat grass, and a short, sweet pas
ture is the best for them after they are
e. week old. After that time some cold
mush will be useful and should be Civ
en-, as the young birds should be made

Killed by the Sting Of a Bee.

From the st. James Gazette. 80
Mr.. w. II. Blanchard, iron monger,
of P DOLE, died July 8 from the effect OF
the sting OF bee. While walking in his
garden q bee stung him in the neck,
which commenced swelling shortly
afterward; and, Notwithstanding that
medical advice was called, and several
doctors subsequently attended him, he
continued to get worse, and died after
great deal OF suffering.
Serious disturbance Of the system
frequently follows the sting Of ali insect,
and deaths from the same cause oc-
casionally happen. Thesusceptibility
of some people to the stings of insects
is balanced by the entire immunity
from such evils enjoyed by Others.
While one person dare not go near
a bee hive, another can handle the bees
with complete safety. Cases have ever,
been we'll known where the strongest
personal attraction was involuntarily
exercised over the bees h1766 Mr..
Wildman Of Plymouth was famous for
his command over these insects. He

up by handfuls and tossed them up and
down like SO many peas" In 1897

Boston Capital and the Slave
Trade.

Very few Of the present generation
are aware of the fact that Boston cap
ital and Boston merchants were, not
many years ago, directly Or indirectly
Interested in the African slave trade.
The recent death OF 81 prominent mer~
chant OF this city at an advanced age
recalls to my mind several circum-
stances of which was either person.
oily cognizant or familiar with. The
slave trade in my younger days was
regarded the same as piracy On the
high seas. I remember with what sort
of awe the boys on Beacon Hill used
to regard the great brick mansion Of
Mime Gibbs, with it's beautiful grounds
which used toextend back from Mount
Vernon street to Pickney street. The
Lave consisted in the knowledge Of the
fact that Gibbs, a Newport man, had
| accumulated his immense fortune in
the slave trade, at the time when New
port was reco gnized as the centre Of this
then legitimate traffic. - - =
Years afterwards, WhenI became a
clerk in a large shipping house on one
| OF the principal wharyes, my eyes We're
opened to d great many things not
dreamed Of in the philosophy OF the
masses, particularly that class Of citi!
zens who were loud in their denuncia-
lions of slavery as an institution and
as it then existed under the constitu-
ton. I saw many mysterious things
land 1nyst erious cargoes IN connection
with the then trade between the coasts
| of Africa and South America. I saw
fortunes made in single voyages which
could not have resulted from the
profits Of 8 legitimate trade. But. the
reported sudden use in foreign markets
Ton wool and ivory 7, = which embodied

whole truth, satisfact orily answered
all curious questions. Vessels were
frequently wrecked or reported found

outward trading. Some suspicious
persons would Think, iii they did not
