USE OF DlSlNFECTANTS.
Some Valuable Hints on the Subject TO
Housekeepers.

some Valuable ttlntS on the subject Tor
Housekeepers.
A disinfectant separates the odor
into it's original elements and makes
new combinations, new substances,
which are hurtless. Fresh burned lime,
called unslacked or quick lime, is the
most common disinfectant, dissolved
in water until it is thin enough to be
sprinkled or used with brush.
Copperas, called green vitriol or sui
phate of iron, is better than lime; q
pound, costing half dime. dissolved
in four gallons of boiling water, and
thrown into privy or sink, will re-
move the odor in ten minutes, to be re-
peated two or three times month in
warm weather, or as often as any odor
is perceptible.
Chloride of lime, sprinkled over damp
places, in yards, cellars, etc, cleanses
and purifes, but it has an odor of its
own, and is supposed by some to be
hurtful.
A LAYER of fresh-burned charcoal in
powder, two or three inches in depth,
over a heap of decaying offal, absorbs
the odor, decomposes it and burns it up.
If this can not be had, a layer of
fresh earth, six inches deep, confines
the odor of decaying matters. but does
not destroy them, and is good for tenn
porary use until better substances can
be obtained.
The manganates of soda or potash,
dissolved in warm water, are among
the best deodorizers and disinfectants.
To disinfect linen, or washing APP
parel, soak it in mixture of one ounce
Of chloride of lime in gallon of water.
Woolens, beddings, ETC., which can
not be washed are best disinfected by
exposure for three or four hours in
chamber heated to two hundred degrees.
To disinfect rooms, wash the ceilings
and walls with quicklime water, and
scrub the woodwork with brush, soap,
and hot water, and then wash with
two ounces of chloride of lime dissolved
in a gallon of water.
Glass and stone-ware after being
scrubbed with sand and soap are de-
prived of all ill odor by shaking dry
charcoal powder in them. - Chicago

PORPOISES AT PLAY.
Piayfulness and Agility of the Seemingly
Lazy Creatures.


Mr.. Colbeck, writing of his cruise
upon the Black Sea, describes, in an
en- tertaining manner, the antics of the
porpoises as he watched them from the
steamers deck. The playfulness and
agility of the porpoise in these seas
were very conspicuous.
A shoal tumbling in the distance,
TO port or starboard, and sometimes far
astern, would become aware of the
presence of a vessel, and, skimming
alongside with incredible speed, dart
one over another, and finally reach the
bows; then marine game would begin,
beautiful and exciting to behold. Turn
ing from side to side, and sometimes
completely over. their white bellies a
silvery CLEAN, the porpoises would
dart, now rising above the wave to
take in fresh stock of air, and then
diving completely under the bows, and
appearing on the other side, apparently
as full of frolic as fish could be. With
delicate precision they would regulate
their speed to that of the vessel, allow
ing the vessel sometimes to touch the
tips of their tails, and then. as if their
Joy was exuberant, too much to con-
tain, d art away at five times the speed
of the vessel, and come skimming back
again to meet her. When the porpoise
is seen breaking the water from dis
lance it has all the appearance of a
very lazy creature. But when seen in
clear seas, completely under water, the
gracefulness and velocity of its motion,
explained partly by the perfect curve
of its body, either way to the tapering
nose and tail, can not be surpassed. It
reminds one of the sweep of a gannet
when it sights the prey. YOUTHS Com
