To Dfsinfect a Eoorn.

The best means TO disinfect q room
which has been occupied by person suf-
fe1ng from any infectious disease Is 70
burn sulphur in tbs room. To do this,
take dish pan and place fat plate in the
bottom of it, and on this plate set kettle
containing the proper amount of sulphur
mixture-equal quantities of sulphur and
charcoal. Fill the pan with water so that
it will como half way up on the kettle.
Then turn alcohol or benzine on the mix
ture, ignite, and get out OF the room as
speedily as possible Alcohol il much the
best TO use, and two or three ounces will be
sufficient for several pounds Of sulphur.
Let the room remain closed for twenty
four hours. The room should be lefr open
for another tventy-fsur hours, and then
thoroughly cleansed, the furniture washed
with disinfectant solution, the walls newly
kalsomined or papered, and the wood work
covered with fresh paint.
Thn ro0m should be prepared previously
by having every crack about doors and
windows tightly pasted or stopped up.
The object OF using water Is that the heat
Of the kettle will cause evaporation and
serd moisture OUT into the room; for, the
spores being very tenacious Of life, dry SUI
phur fumes ere not sufficient to XIII them
all. In the dry state. the product is simply
oxtde Of sulphur, but when water Is added
we have sulphHrous acid. which Is power
full enough to kill au the spores az well as
the germs--HRlPs Journal Of Hath

He May BECOME a Cardinal.

New YORK, Aug. This clean
shaver, tall and broad shouldered man
who comes striding down the street with
the firm step Of a grenadier is just as like
as not to be named by Leo XIII as an
American cardinal. 1t is Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, Mimi, who is often
Seen IN this city, where he comes on bust
ness for the church as well as to visit
friends. 1 should say at a rough calcu-
lation he is over feet in height. He
certainly weighs over 200 pounds, but
he walks with swinging, easy motion,
and so his great physical proportions
are lost. There are few men in America
who would become the majestic role Of
a cardinal better. His face Is strong and
manly. 1t Is clean shaven, but the
mouth IS firm; the cheeks are of a pink
hue, while his square jaws denote
strength Of purpose and resolution.
If it be true that all great men have
large noses then tho archbishop is in
deed a great man. His nasal organ
somewhat resembles that of the greas
Napoleon. His forehead shows, phre-
nologically speaking, perfection His
eyebrows are heavy and MS iron gray
hair Is brushed back from his face. In
word, he Is a nan of distinguished ap-
pearance, and as he Is said to DO a good
Catholic, a great churchman and be-
lever IN America, he would I'll the role
of cardinal as well if not better than
any man who could be named. The
archbishop is an exceedingly well in,
formed man, q close student, and in
sympathy with American ideas and in
stitutions. He is well liked by his parish
toner's and the clergy speak of him in the
highest praise. With those whom he
knows he is jolly of speech, full of life
and animal spirits. There is a favor Of
westernism about him and heartiness
in bis voice that tells plainly he is dem
ocratic in his ways to the last degree.
OF course it is not settled that he is to
wear the cardinals beretta, but there
seems to be no doubt that another car
dinal will soon be appointed by the pope,
and no one stands better chance of be-
ing selected for that distinguished honor
than the archbishop of st. Paul

Pleased That He Didn't Intarfere.

II Is frequently difficult to draw the line
between meddlesomeness and helpfuiness
l sometimes think Of making suggestion
or doing an act which l feel would prove
helpful to friend, but which on second
thought see he may regard as downright
neddlesomeness remember an instance
h which the distinction was somewhat
hard to draw. was In Naples, on my way
to Rome. entered q compartments of a car

myself, Rnd abominate the compartments
that are filed with nasty smoke or nasty

saw in the dim light, against the window,
the figure of lady; and, also opposite the
lady, the figure Of a man, and near the top
of the masculine figure protruded Lighted

twas about to say TO the figure that held
this lighted cigar, IN the best Italian or
French 1 could. ''Tis is a 'nonfunatcrP

him o reason for arresting ms for high
treason, and dssisted. Presently "the
train from out the castls drew" and be-
hold tho woman herself had a cigar be
tween her lips and the man was without
his. I then fels that my helpfulness to-
ward the lady in endsavering to shield her
from the ravages of cigas smoke would
have been meddlesomeness. Ny gratitude,
however, for desisting became greater as
noticed that throughout the journey be-
tween Naples and Rome this lady and gen

Professor Benjamin Pierce is alluded to
in these lines:

B. +. Curtis, of the United States su-

Eeathered Pirates

A pair OF robins, es has been their Gus
tom for several years past, commenced
building their summer home In On elm
tree on the sidewalk IN front Of my house,
and the work went braveiy on, with song
and rapid fiutter of wings. Suddenly the
songs ceased and work on the nest stopped.
But it was not left alone, for a band of mis-
cradle sparrows attacked it, and, II posi-
ble were more active in its destruction
than the robins had been IL its construc-
ton
A few days later the robins began anoth-
er nest in tall maple tree near by, and
the work was pushed rapidly. But in a
few days it was evident that something
was wrong again There was great out
sry Ga the part of the robins, and an un-
musical chatter by pug1saoas sparrows.
The latter were again victorious, and ut
onoe proceeded to denolish the nearly I'm
isAed mast, which WORK they soon COM
Pieeed, stringA grass, feathers. etc, being
scattered promiscuously about.
This was not all, nor tho worst for the
male rohin WIS seen hanging by q cord faa-
tened to its neck Rnd ono wing, dead, aud
not ten feet trcIa the place whore the nest
had been. Tho sight extracted the ateen-
plOn OF pstS0Si5 U.y3 3up ~ wa 81 A4e0 e@ass
neae cared to ascend the tree TO get the bird.
Being anxious TO know the facts as to the
reason of the birds death, splicsd my
stiff trolling rod, with knifs attached to
the tip, to long pilse pole. and with the
help of ladder and the assistance Of a
neighbor succeeded In cutting the string
above the bird
An examination showed that string,
common wrapping Irvine, was passed
through the wing quilts, around the neck,
and knotted SO tightly that considerable
patience was required TO remove it, SO that
death must have been soon effected.
The male being dead and the nest de-
stroyed, the female departed, so that we
were no longer favored with their sweet
morning and evening songs
The question now is, Who killed cock

A Salt Producing Invention.

Salt is at present produced BY means Of
open watts or pans, varying in size accord
ing to circumstances and the quality OF tbs
salt to be produced. Its manufacture nee
esSarily requires a large area and an eror-
nous consumption Of fuel to maintain the
salt at the boiling point in order to secure
the precipitation Of the salt more or less
rapidly, according TO the quality required.
For example, a salt pan twelve yards long
and Two and q half yards wide-thiCty
square yards-eyclusive OF the brickwock,
Is supposed 70 run about forty tons of salt
per week. DR.. Pick, who Is one of the
highest authorities or the subject Of salt
production, hiss, however, invented an
economical process for evaporating liquors
containing salts, and for separating the
salts from them. BY means Of this apps-
ratus, which covers thirty-hve square yards,
it Is stated that coo roIls Of salt can be pro-
duced per week--New Orleans Pioayunss
