The BEST DIsINFEoTANTs. After Civ,
ing long list of substances used, Prof.
DuJardin- Beaumetz declares that the one
disinfectant above all Is moist heat when
it reaches 23O0 10 24O0 Fahrenheit; but, as
this temperature cannot always be ap.
piled, liquid and gaseous dislnfectanls
are also necessary. AT the head of the
first is placed corrosive sublimate which
is without an equal; then, sulphate of
copper. Among the gaseous disinfect.
ants are preferred sulphurous acid and
chlorine.
In the juices of the healthy stomach
Mons j. E. Abelous has found nine new
forms of microbes in addition 10 seven
previously known. These microbes must
play an important part in digestion, but
their principal effect upon the food seems
to be after 1t has passed from the stomach
into she intestinal tract.
Col Majendic concludes that one vol.
ume of liquid benzine will render 10 900
volumes of air inhammablc or 5000
violently explosive. Neither a glowing
coal, however, will ignite the most ex.
plosive mixture, actual flame or white
heat being necessary.

The great, ruddy farmer pines because
he has not won fame or position. The

How to secure and retain the SAVIOR of

1t may be asked, what is the cause of
this extreme nervousness, lack of appe-

another name for Bright's Disease.
Unless remedied there will be complete

This does not, however, relieve these

and then planted apple and pear plants
in his share of the garden, and sur-
prised every body by his ingenuity and
useful industry in giving them curious
forms as well as in improving tho
house fruits. Having pair Of Young
trees standing a foot or so apart he
secured the stems from being moved
by stalking them firmly, and then bv
bending side branches across from one
stem to the other in April. and cutting
the ends off when they met the other
tree, shaving off one side Of the tin
and slipping it under or through the
bark securing it by large pin and a
covering of wax, he made living
ladder. Where no side branch came
right he cut long, stout, young
shoot from another tree of the same
kind and grated it in at both ends.
In another pair he worked his initial
letter within a circle. In another he
made lattice work; to another tree he
planted four young plants equidistant
and six or eight inches from its stem,
and the next year grated these in to
serve as four legs for the tree, its own
collar or leg being finally cut out.
Other trees he bent into various forms,
fastening them firmly for a year until
firmly set in position, and then remov-
ing the training rods and bars. In
these exploits he secured a growth
just where he wanted it, and shaped as
he wanted by pinching all other shoots
off as soon as they began to show
themselves, just as we do with to-

stem and fasten it erect as it grows,

IMPORTED CLOCKS.
They Are More Gaudy, But Not as Good
as American Tlme-PIeces.


as American Tlme-PIeces.
There are a good many imported
clocks in this country. Those imported
in late years are here for no other
reason in the world than because it is
the fashion to buy things made
abroad. The imported clock is not as
good a time-keeper as the American
clock. On the contrary, it is we'll
known that the foreign-made clock
will not compare with the American
clock so far as telling the hour of the
day is concerned. But there are good
many people in this world who do not
buy clocks to keep time. It is, in a
very cheap way, fashionable to possess
French or German clock, and that
is all there is to it. Fashion covers
multitude of deficiencies. These i'm
ported clocks are mounted in fancy
cases, and there is quite large class
of Americans to whom the name of
Paris or Berlin has sort of underlined
fascination.
1t is safe to say that the American
who buys an imported clock does it
from some other motive than a utilita-
rian one.
The fancy casesi in which French and
German clocks have been enveloped
has undoubtedly had something to do,
in the past, with their Importation.

But to-day American clocks, put up in
cases bizarre enough to suit the taste
of the most fastidious, can be found.
The style of the case or the quality oil
the work done does not cover the rea-
son why foreign-made clocks are
bought in this country. And as te
cost, the American clock is much the
cheaper. The simple reason, to-day,
why the French clocks are popular is
because they are French.
American clocks are exported In
large quantities, and sold just where
French and Grrman clocks are made
The exported clocks are sold because
they keep time, and are cheap as to
cost.
