Practical Hints on Distinction.

Corrosive sublimate (morcuric chloride),
sulphate of copper and chloride of iron
are among our best disinfectants, the first
two being poisonous. At wholesale drug
houses in New York single pounds can be
obtained, mercuric chloride costing "a
cents, the others 10 cents pound.
A quarter Of a pound Of corrosive sub
Innate and a pound of sulphate Of copper
In one gallon Of water makes eoncen,
trated solution to keep In stock. we Will
refer to 1t as solution A."
For the ordinary disinfecting solution
add half pint of solution A" to gallon
of water. This, while costing less than
cent and o half per gallon, Is good
strength for general use. Use in about
equal quantity in disinfecting choleralc OF
typhoid fever eXcreta.
A per cent. solution Of good chloride
of lime or quarter pint of solution A.
to gallon of water Is used to wash wool
work, floors and wooden furniture. aftcl
fumigation and ventilation.
For fumigating with sulphur, three tt
four pounds should be used to every thou
sand cubic feet air space. Burn in an ok
tin basin floating in tub of water; keel
room closed twelve hours, to allow The
fumes to penetrate all cracks. Then oper
o. window from the outside and allow
fumes to escape into air.
Soak sheets, etc, in chloride of limt
solution, wiring out and boil
Cesspools, etc, should be well covered
on top with mixture of chloride OF lint
with ten parts Of dry sand.
Isolate the patient in an upper room
from, which curt aims CarrotS and StufIe(
furniture have been removed.
Tho solution of mcrcuric chloride mus
not be placed IN metal vessels, since TIN
mercury would plato them.-Lucius Pit

A .pueout" on the Prairie.

To becin with, tho habltation OF the
homestaader Is either dugout or house
built of squares OF sod taken from tho
Observation-Disclosures or Kansas brick US
ihev arc faeetiously termed. The dugout
consists OF a holo dug In tho side OF
CANYON or any sort OF depression on the
nraIrlo which will serve as wind break
ihis hole Is rooted across ABOUT ON
level with tho prairie, with men poa,u a,
and these are covered with SOD ~ ivps
or SO OF stove pipe protrudihg from tno
roof Is the sole indication OF huniu,,
habtation One room generally serves W
tho purposes Of the homesteader ana hls
family. II no prospers for a season. Nc
adds 10 tho front Of his abode by erecting
walls Of sod on tho sides and putting III q
new front, tho old ono serving as parti'
tion between tho two rooms. THIS ID
considered a commodious dwelling: After
riding over the quarter section looking
for am owner, espying such an abode, ana
guiding your team carefully down q
break necl, descent TO the front door,
would II surprise you, upon entering TINS
holo In tho ground, to find, for instance
A very modern organ with an imposing
cathedral back towering high In one cor
ner Of tho room? But this Is no cause for
astonishment-very frequently organs
and ornate designs In furniture are TO pe
found in thsiugouts.
Or, If tho lady Of tho house should IN
vito You to remain for the meeting OF tho
literary club there In tho evening, would
Won stare Mt that? Not at oil. Literary
clubs, which tho members ride oil the
way from Eve to twenty miles to attend,
and where they discuss with great earn
estness everything from tho latest politi'
cal problem TO the most abstrusc point IN
metaphysics, arc quite tho regular thing
with our homesteaders. But to behold
this life so full of paradoHcs in tho height
of its incongruousness you should DO q
spectator In the dugout when neighbor
hood dance Is In full blast. The earthen
walls have been sliillfully tapestried for
tho occasion with calico, and when the
fun begins, the clay floor speedily re-
spends to the capering of tho many twin,
king feet, and there arises q cloud OF dust
that would stiae an Indian. But, bless
you'll they don't mind q bit Of dust. A
polished floor and the most perfect sys,
tenn of ventilation attainable could add
nothing to their enjoyment. Frank II.

A Heroine.

A Mrs. Day, lady only about 20
years of age residing at Sabinal Can

do. She was alone with her two lit
tic children in her homo, when the
man came in masked, and proposed to
rifle the premises. She told him she
would kill him if he did not leave.
He only laughed, when she pulled
down D needle gun on him. 1t failed
to go off and he cut her in the fore
head with knife. She struck him
with the other end of the gun, which
stunned him and before he coul d re-
cover himself she again leveled the
gun at him. This time it won't of,
sending bullet through his body.
He managed to reach his horse and
escape, but his dead body was found
ut some distance few days later.

"Deep Waters at Austin.

We don't mean TO be understood
as intimating that our State Capital
is a competitor with Galveston, Aran-
sas Pass, etc. for deep water, but
that she has actually found "deep wa
tor" in q metaphorical sense in the
trouble over tho new capitol building.
Well might she exclaim in the Ian
guage of holy writ: 81 am como into
deep waters where tho floods over
flow me-" II must puzzle our com
mon sense people how the building
came to be substantially accepted last
spring. The defects, especially OF
the roof, must have been as we'll
known then as they arc now. Yet
all limitations of their existence were
then sternly frowned down and the
critics denounced Us if they were
criminals. The single point then
aimed at by tho authorities was to
have grand dedication and gather
ing of the outside world for the ben
eft of Austin, regardless of all "after
claps." 1t was accordingly had, and
now "after this the Judgment The
same parties who then advocated its
acceptance now acknowledge its
grave defects.
As to the copper roof, it is now
said that Gov. Ireland and the ven
cradle Lubbock are responsible. Col.
Abner Taylor, the contractor, OBJ
jected to putting it ou-told them it
would not answer-but they wanted
something stony" and high priced,
and insisted on its going on nolens
volens. 1t went, and now the grand
granite edifice ''leaks like riddle"
Rather u serious defect, we should
soy; but that is about rs good as
could be expected of politicians
posing as architects.
It is not our purpose to record the
various "scenes" between members
of tho old board and Attorney Gen.
Hogg in which complete middle
as to what ought to be done, and
considerable i'll feeling were develop
ed. Future political aspirations it is
said have had considerable to do
with the matter. Suffice it to say
that Col. Taylor has come to the res
cue in his straight, manly way, and
offers to make good all short comings
in the contract, on condition that a
competent, disinterested architect
shall be secured to point said alleged
failures out. His proposition has
been accepted. But the pointing out
will be apt to be the rub. "The ell
ephant" is likely to be on the hands OF
it's keepers for a long time to come.
