Nine Articles for the Successful Prevention
of Disease Germs.
First. Corrosive sublimate (mer-
curic chloride1, sulphate OF copper,
and chloride of lime are among our
best disinfectants, the first two being
poisouous. At wholesale drug houses
single pounds can be obtained, mer-
curic chloride costing seventy-five
cents, the others ten cents a pound.
Second. A quarter Of pound OF
corrosive sublimate and a pound OF sui
phate of copper in one gallon OF water
makes a concentrated solution to keep
in stock. We will refer to it as ''solu-
ton A"
Third. For the ordinary disinfect-
ing solution add half pint of solution
Az to a gallon of water. This, while
costing less than a cent and half per
gallon, is a good strength for general
use. Use in about equal quantity in
disinfecting choleric or typhoid fever
excreta.
Fourth. A four per cent. solution OF
good chloride of lime or quarter pint
of solution A. to a gallon of water is
used to wash woodwork floors, and
wooden furniture, after fumigation and
ventilation.
Fifth. For fumigating with sulphur,
three to four pounds should be used to
every thousand cubic feet air space.
Burn in an old tin basin floating in
tub of water; keep room closed twelve
hours, to allow the fumes to penetrate
all cracks. Then open q window from
the outside and allow fumes to escape
into air.
Sixth. Soak sheets, etc., in chloride
of lime solution, wiring out and boil.
Seventh. Cesspools, etc., should b
we'll covered on top with mixture o
chloride of lime with ten parts Of dr.,
sand.
Il Eighth. Isolate the patient in al
upper room from which curtains, car
pets, and stuffed furniture have bee
) removed.
, Ninth. The solution of mercuri
chloride must not be placed in metz
, vessels, since the mercury would plat
q them. Pitki,s, in Century.

s,n~ular CoiHures Worn by Natives Of Asia
and Africa.
The Philippians have no hair, proper.
" speaking, but what answers them for
hair is really different from the hair OF
the white races. If hair from the
head of Caucasian be examined
through a microscope, it is found to be
hollow, composed Of sections or joints
somewhat resembling those of cane,
or in some cases like a ladder with its
rounds. The hair of an African is en-
tircly different in this respect, being
solid and round, this constituting the
difference between wool and hair; but
nevertheless the fact that his wool is
solid appears only to endear it to the
African, who gives it all the more at
tention, perhaps because he has SO little
of Il. and divides his scalp into patches,
gathering up the hair from each into a
circular knot and tying 1t with a string
ascarefully as though it were a treasure.
In the interior of the dark continent
the wool of the negroes is frequently
long, though never straight. but 90
difficult is the task OF disentangiine
their locks that not much attempt al
ornateness Is made in the African head
dresses. Livingston says that when an
African chief makes his toilet, the most
he ever attempts in the way OF arrang
ing q head-dress is to comb his wool up
into q pyramidal shape, stick few
feathers in it, and hang one or more
strings of beans along the facade. SO u
speak, of this unique edifice.
The Asiatics have always been famous
for decorating their heads. The Mo
hammedans of old shaved their heads
except single knot Of hair at the ex
act top Of the head, which was left TO
a practical purpose; the Mohammeda'
doctrine being that, at the resurrection
Of the dead, the angel Gabriel wa
specially detailed to attend TO the Nc
hammedans, and he raised them oy tn
topknot; accordingly the topknot wa
left full and strong, in order that tn
hold might not break, a hole being lei
ia the top of the cotIin in order to facil
tate the angels works.. Louis G'oo'
