Coffee as n Dislnfecinnt.

Coffee is handy and harmless disinfec- tant. Experiments have been made in Paris to prove this. A quantity of meat was hung up in closed room until de- composed, and then chafng dish was introduced and 600 grammes of coffee thrown on the fire. In few minutes the room was completely disinfected- In an- other room sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia were developed, and ninety grammcs of coffee destroyed the smell in about half minute It is also stated that coffee destroys the smell of musk, castGrum and asafgtida~ As n proof that the noXious smells are really decom- posed by the fumes of coffee and not merely overpowered by them, it is stated that the first vapors of the coffee wero not sinelled at all, and are therefore chem ically absorbed, while the other smells gradually diminish as the Immigration con tinues. The best way to effect this fumi- gation Is to pound the coffee in mortar. and then strew it on hot iron plate, which, however, must not be red hot Globe Democrat.

The Snakes of BeuraI.

The mortality from snake bites in Ben gal is much larger among women than among men. They are usually bitten in the early morning, when they go out un- seen before daylight, either to fetch wood from the faggot stack or for some other domestic purpose. During the rainy sea son, when nearly all the rice fields are un- der water, the snakes take refuge in the higher plats of land, on which the vii, lages are built, and they hide themselves in the little woodstacks and granaries in the court yards of the houses; while not infrequently they take up their abode in the house itself, where they are allowed to dwell with impunity, and sometimes fed with milk, until, on some unlucky day, the wife treads accidentally on the snake in the dark, and it turns upon her and bites her. From the bite of a full grown cobra death ensues in very few minutes, and the natives have no such remedies at hand as English science might use, but they put a vain faith in the fanciful charms and incantations recommended by their priests Review.

risnarck's Weighing Machine,

Close by the side of Prince Bismarck's bath is a weighing chair, covered with red velvet, of the most modern construc- tion, and the great German minister never fails to ''try his weight" at least once day. or to record the result of his trial in the small diary he keeps attached by string to the arm of the weighing chair for the purpose. There was a time when the prince sealed the somewhat Gargantuan weight of 247 pounds; but much hes happened since then, as his lGte friend Lord Beaconsfeld once re- marked. And among other things, the prince has taken not to "Banting, but to a moro recent system of dealing with ones ''too, too solid flesh" Thanks to deter mined perseverance in the system, the German chancellor was last Friday able to announce at tho breakfast table, in tone of triumph, that he that morning only weighed 190 pounds. Europe, which has such deep interest in Prince Bismarcks continued life and good health, would do well, if possible, to secure for informa- tion daily return of the weights re- corded in the chancellor's little diary London Figaro.

THE FAMILY BURYINe GROUND.

A wall of crumbling stones doth keep Watch OCT long barrows where they sleep, Old chronicled grave stones of its dead, On which oblivious mosses creep, And lichens gray as lead. Warm days the lost COWS as they pass Rest here and browse the juicy grass That springs about its sun scorched stones; Afar one hears their bells deep brass Wait melancholy tones Here the wild morning glory goes A-rambling as the myrtle grows, Wild morning glories, pale as pain, > With holy urns that hint at woes, The night hath filled with rain. Here are blackberries largest seen, Rich, why dark, whereon the lean Black hornet sucks, moons sick with heat, That bend not to the shadowed green The heavy bearded wheat. At dark, for it's forgotten dead, A requiem of no known wind said Through ghostly cedars moans and throbs- While to thin starlight overhead The shivering screech owl sobs.
