How to Disinfcct.

Clothing which requires disinfectins
should be submitted for about three
hours to a temperature of $50 degrees
in the chamber charged with sulphurit
fumes from Il large quantity of sulphur.
The chamber should be so constructed
us to prevent the fumes from passing
of. No germs can stand this.
After a room has been used by a per.
son sick with u contagious disease. ii
becomes necessary to disinfcct it before
it is tit to be used again. This is done
by removing and burning the paper on
the walls, removing the bedsteads and
other furniture, and exposing them to
air and wind, and giving them u fresh
coat of varnish; by having the mattress
made over new and the hair boiled; BY
burning in the room three pounds o.
sulphur, and by whitewashing, paint.
ing, and papering the anew.
Now that it is generally conceded
that consumption is caused by germs
which multiply in the lungs a method
of disinfecting them, which shall be
harmless, has been sought for, but as
yet without avail. The p of ere.
osote, the oil of the eucalyptus, and
carbolic acid have been tried, and tc
some extent they may paralyze or stun
the germs and prevent their rapid in.
crease, but Is the passages Of the lungs
are delicate and the vapor cannot b
brought very near them without injury,
the good effects are slight. But there
is II method which cannot fail tc
prove beneficial, and that is the in.
halation of large quantities of fresh,
pure air. This is worth more than any
lisinfectant for the lungs, and can dc
no harm.-PrGcticaL Farmer.

A Remarkable Case.

After living with a broken neck fol
twenty-five days, Caleb b. Tozier died
in Cooper hospital, Camden, yesterday,
says the Philadelphia Record. by his
bedside when death came were the
faithful young woman to whom he was
engaged to be married, Miss Missmer.
and Tozier's sister. The grief of the
former was he~art-rending. She had for
two weeks expected her lover to recover.
so favorable were his symptoms, and
they both talked hopefully of their ap.
preaching marriage. During the time
Tozier was at the hospital Miss Missmer
was by his bedside almost continuously,
and She was assiduous in caring for the
injured man. Tozier's case has excited
much interest among medical men, his
long existence under the circumstances
being considered extremely remarkable.
The victims strong determination tc
live prolonged his life considerably.
Most of the time he was paralyzed from
the shoulders down. Death is thought
to have resulted from exhaustion, the
body having wasted away to a mere
shadow. A post mortem examination
showed that the vertebrn We're fractured
in front of the neck as we'll as in the
back, where two pieces of the vertebrn,
each W and a half inches long, were
removed.

WHAT III A DO.
Some Respects In Which the Weaker Ca

The Boston Times in a spirit of fair
ness admits. and even procfaims, that
there are some desirable things q
woman can do. Here is o sample
batch:
She can come to a conclusion with
out the slightest trouble of reasoning
on it, and no man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and get
along tirst-rate, and no two men can do
that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while he is getting n under his
thumb-nail.
She is as cool rs a cucumber in n halt
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a
man will sweat and fume and groSl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and
cream to the woman she hates, while
two men would be punching each
others head before they had exchanged
ten words.
She can throw a stone with a curve
that would be Il fortune to a baseball
pitcher.
She a say ''no" in such a low voice

give her plenty of time and plenty OF
pencils.
She can dance all night in a pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can appreciate a kiss from he1
husband seventy-tive years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterward
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on, and in some rare in
stances can give you some faint idea of
what the text was.
She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire of numbering the
infant.
She can do more in a minute than o
man a do in an hour and do it better.
She can drive q man crazy in twenty.

That large class of people afflicted
more or less with insomnia due to dys-
peptic troubles will be grateful for a
remedy without medicine. In a com
munication to the American Medical
Journal DIR. Eggleston says he instructs
all such patients to eat before going to
bed, provided all work has been laid
aside at least an hour before taking the
nocturnal repast. There is a popular
superstition that grown people should
not eat before going to sleep. But DIR.
Eggleston forcibly asks why adults
should be so very different in this re-
spect from babies. During sleep diges-
ton proceeds slowly, but this is no valid
reason why food should not be taken
shortly before retiring. But the food
should be simple and should be taken in
the sleeping apartment.

According to reliable statistics based
upon accident returns, fully 5000 able
bodied men are killed and over 2C.O 0
are injured every year in the discharge
of their duties rs railroad employees.
This will be astonishing news to those
who have believed that brakemen are
seldom or ever killed in this age of
patent couplers and modern cars. But
it seems that this wholesale slaughter
is due to the fact that the railroad di-
rectors deliberately weigh out the blood
of strong men and the tears of their
wives and children against the few dol
lars necessary to adopt safety couplers
and brakes, and refuse to use them ex-
cept on first-class passenger trains. This
would seem incredible, but that the
facts are given as stated by the organs
OF employees. 1t would seem that such
men as Jay Gould would see blood on
the very bread they eat and would fear
to bequeath bought millions
to their innocent children lest it should
poison their lives. But money talks"
and to the millionaire it probably has a
golden voice.
