The other afternoon an Extensively fresh
tragedian of the transforming variety jos
tied and spoke insolently to pretty young
woman who was being escorted up Broad
way by a stalwart and serious locking mid
die aged man in ministerial garb. Promptly
and silently the escort resented the deliber-
ate and premeditated insult by knocking her
insuter into a snow bank. The fellow got
UP cursing, and was instantly knocked down
again. The crowd cheered the parson and
booted the victim of his scientific fist, who
skunk off like a whipped dog to have the
mud brushed off his fur collared coat. As
for his reverence, his face never changed. 1t
remained as grave and placid while he was
knocking the offensive transformer out as
it had been before, and when the job was
done he gave his arm once more to his fair
companion, who had looked on quietly as if
confident of his ability to take care of him.

Disinfection by Steam Heat.

disinfection of packages by heat and by
steam, that dry heat at the boiling point for
an hour is sufficient to destroy active bacilli
of all ordinary infectious diseases: but, if
spores are to be attacked, heat of PAS dogs.

French Sardines Again.

French sardines, which for several years
have been scarce, leading to the fear that
they would eventually become extinct as a
food fish, have appeared on the French coast
more numerously than ever. The dearth Of
French fish brought into the market great
quantities of American fish of Some sort
which, done up in cotton seed oil or doctored
mustard, have been called sardines. The
American product is not to be compared to
the French article, which, bathed in a plen'
tiful supply of pure olive oil, is palatable

Good Short Stories.

1t is to be regretted that volumes of short
stories do not, as rule, sell well To om
thinking, number of good short stories
make much more agreeable reading than an
ordinary novel. Yet we believe publisher
would rather risk novel by little known
writer than a collection of tales by one Of
considerable fame. Why this is so it is some
what difficult to understand, for good short
stories are attractive, and in some magazines
are among the most important and widely
read er.-The Epoch.

the larceny of some blankets from

his conduct has been exemplary and
the prison officials speak of him in
tine highest terms. His parents re-
