Attention is, being called by DR..
Roese, of London, an eminent authority
on Che subject, to some mistakes con-
eeTning deodDrizers and disinfectants.
Lii is simply useless, he says, to place
sancers containing chloride Of limo, car
bolic acid, etc., in contaminated at
nosphere, with the expectation that the.
germs floating about will be caught and
killed-tlse chlorine doubtless will re-
move sone offensive doors and rapidly
diffuse itself through the roo1a, but to
act as true disinfectant it must be so
much concentrated tAat the air in the
space containing it would be quite ire
spirable by human beings, though it is,
when used scientifically, the best of all
disinfectants for Purifying she walls of
an empty room. For deodorizing in
sick rooms and passages Dir. Roose
thinks euchlonne gas very Efficient
produced when few crystals Of ohlor-
ite Of potassium are dropped into lit
tie hydrochloric acid; bromine is even
more powerful as disinfectant than
chlorine, and both are far superior
to sulphurous acid as to carbolic acid

organisms discovered in case of splenic
fever have been found to be absolutely

THE H.ANIrY OF MEN.

There are very few men in the world
without some vanity. Perhaps it is
parlonable for o man TO be little vain
of some great achievement for which
the rest of mankind is willing to accord
him honor, but man who is affected
with a pcacock-kind of vanity is quite
another sort of person.
A great many men are mconsciousy
vain. To accuse them of such weak
ness would be to bring from them an
indignant denial.
Take, for instance, the man with an
elegant mustache. He invariably car
ries "a comb and looking-glass and
very often, forgetful of the eyes of the
world, he will take out bus glass and
comb and proceed to caress into curls
the sweeping ends of the upper lip
adornment. The same man would sheer
at woman and her little powder-box,
but would be very indignant if some
lady shoald call him to time for fondling
that hiisute appendage of lis.
Ex-Attorney General Brewster, with
his badly deformed face, like the Duke
of Golster, suddenly became, intensely
vain when the ladies of Philadelphia
paid him marked attention. and he at
once began entertaining tile tailors to
adorn his person, until he won Tepu-
tation for being an "old dandy"
Roscoe Conkling, with all his brilliant
attainments, was vain man as well as
q pround one. He was proud OF his
position, his influence, and Ills record,
and vain of his personal appearance.
How often his hand wandered to that
hypeliar curl that hung over his broad
forehead, and how tenderly he coressed
it when posing for effect in debate.
An old maid is generally subdlred and
Inundated by the fact that she has
passed the heyday of her youth without
finding some one of the male persuas-
ion tllat appreciates her enough to we'd
her; but with an old bachelor it is diff
fere7t. He is vain of the fact that he
has been able to withstand the bland
ish,nents and winning graces Of the fair
sex, and sail past the port Of matrimony
without landing. He laughs at the dis
conatiture of cupid and vaingloriously
boasts that his heart is too tough for the
little archer's arrows to penetrate.-Ne'0
Fork Graphic.

were, of future existence; and this
takes the deepest root and is most dis
coverable in the greatest geniuses and
most exalted souls. Cicero.
The Supreme Being has made tho
best argument for His own existence in
the formation of the heavens and tia
earth, and which man of sense cannot
forbear attending to who is out of tho
noise of human affairs.
GOODNESS answers to the theological
virtue charity, and admits no excess but
error; the desire of power in excess
caused the angels to fall; the desire Of
knowledge in excess caused man to fall.
but in charity there is no excess; neither
can angel nor man come into danger BY
it.-Lord Bacon.
Alas! if my best Friend, who laid
down His life for me, were to remember
all the instances in which I have neg.
lected Him, and to plead them against
me in judgment, where should I hide

cease to be SO, and upon my enemies,
though they continue sueh.-Co,rper

THE INFLUENCE OF JUNGLE TOMS
CABIN"

In 1852, at tho age of 40, an Ameri-
can woman published book that has,
since gone the rounds of the civilized
world. No book ever printed-not even
the Bible-has ever sold as largely az
this one. When the historian of the
Twentieth Century sums up impartially
the causes which led to the abolition of
African slavery in the United States,
he will state that this; one, book exerted
a more powerful influence than all the
denunciations of the pulpit, the inAam-
atory appeals of the orator, the great
debates on the floor of Congress. the
sensational influence of the stage. and
all other causes combined. "UncIe
Toms Cabin" set the nation thinking.
arguing, investigating, and lines of be-
lief and conduct which before existed
only vaguely and indefinitely, became
drawn henceforth. Alexander. N. Do
Me,ail, IN the st. Loesis Magazine.

Il SUSPICIOUS TRAYELIyG-e,e

IL SOSfAClOOS TIKI
Not long ago well-dressed traveller
stopped at O. prominent hotel over night,
and. before leaviag gave the landlord
his new nickel-nounted traveling-bag,
requesting him to care for it until his
return in few days.
More than a. week passed, but the
traveller did not return. and the land
lord thought proper to communicate the
fact to the authorities who had of late
issued strict regulations respecting the
disposal of lost articles. On closer in
spection the weight of the bag was dis
covered to be- out Of all proportion to its
size, for the thing weighed no less than
fifty-eight pounds. This circumstance.
together with the disappearance Of the
traveller awakened grave suspicion, and
after an active interchange of kilograms
between cities, the bag was at first de-
posted in cool place, and then carried
by q couple of workmen, with every
precaution, to fort couple of miles
out of town, Here the suspicious arti-
Gle was consigned to remote spot and
no one allowed to approach it within
hundred PAGES. Various plans were
now suggested to render the dangerous
object harmless. Among other things,
it was proposed to drop the bag down
from the edge of cliff, thereby causing
the bomb or the dynamite which II
might contain to explode. This plan
was, however, abandoned on the unex-
pected return of the traveller, who came
to claim his bag from the landlord. He
turned out to be well-known COM
mercial traveller for hardware firm.
and the cause of so much anxiety (the
traveling-bag) contained neither dyna-
mite nor shells, but only samples Of
tools weighing about fifty-eight pounds.
The owner was not little surprised at
the sensation that his bag had pro-
duced.

two facts burned themselves into Rock
wells already excited brain. He had
slain his fathers son-his half brother.
and it was upon himself that the dis
grace of birth rested.
The next day the clerk at the Gilsey
House delivered to the proper party
package of papers, but Ernest Rock
well was not ut the hotel. He has never
been seen since by his friends, who do
not yet know that upon remote coast
OF the British maritime provinces the
body of young man was washed ashore
a few days later. 1t was Ernest Rock
vile, q suicide.

Little All sid

Little All Sid
Was Christian kid
a cute httio cuss. you'd declaro-
With eyes full Of fun
And a nose that begun
Right UP at the roots of his hair.
Jolly and fat
Was this froliosoms brat
A he played through the long summer day.
And braided his cue
As his father used to
In China land far, far away,
Once. over lawn
That All Sid played upon,
bumble-bee flew in the spring.
Mclean butterfly"
Said he with winking eve:
Ne catchce and pull of UNI wing.
Then with his cap
He struck 1t rap
This Innocent humble e-beo-
And put its remains
In the seat of his jeans:
Fora pocket there had the Chiuee.
Down on the green
Sat the little sardine
In style that was strangely dsmurs,
And said, with a grin
That was brimful of sin.
me maahee UNI butterfly sure.
Little All Sid
Was only kid,
Nor could you expect him to guess
What kind Of bug
He was holding so snug
In the folds of his loose-6tting dress.
-Ki-ya, Ri yip-ye,"
All Sid cried, as he
Rose hurriodly up from the spot
"ki-yi kup-a-kani
Dam UNI Mclean man
Um butterfly belly much hoti"
