IT has been discovered that sulphur
is not the thorough disinfectant it
vas once supposed to be. DIR. j. G..
Johnson, of New York, reports that
he propagated diphtheria from the
clippings of blankets that had been
fumigated with burning sulphur, and
the New York City Board of Health
now recommends steam as the only
absolutely safe disinfectant for use on

gard to sulphur lis very important, as
sulphur is more generally used as a

Evidence of somebody's firm belief
in the old superstition about boring a
hole in a thrifty tree, placing therein
"A lock of ones hair and parings of the
nails, aud then carefully plugging the
hole, in the hope that as sonn as the
deposit became solid wood. AL fear of
future headache and other ills would
be dispelled from the mind of him
whose lock of hair was contributed TO

town of Wells one day recently.
While saving shingles from a tree
that recently stood near the Boston

exhibition of human deposit. The nails
and dark brown hair were firmly i'm

ated only when the machinery con-
yerted the wood into shingles. The

lie Is a Godfather.

A pushing young American tells
an amusing experience that he had in
Rome. He was anxious to visit the
Vatican. and, understanding that
cards of admission were to he had at
st. Peters, lac hurried thither. Seeing
a small crowd around a priest who sat
writing at his desk he jumped to the
conclusion that this was his man, and
at once efbowed his way through the
crowd. In his hurry he pushed aside
a woman with a baby i'll her arms. and
tie baby began TO cry at the jostling.
A slight confusion resulted, under
cover of which the young American
gained the desk. The priest, looking
up from his writing, asked something
in Italian, which my friend took to
he an inquiry for his name, and he
promptly answered Davis"
The priest, after writing the name,
turned TO the woman with the baby.
and, taking the child in his arms. held
it over font which the American had
not noticed until then. Dipping his
hands in the water and placing them
on the child's head he then began a
curious jargon of Italian phrases in
which the astonished Davis caught the
sound of his own good American
name. and saw with dismay as he
turned and fled that he had given his
name to the priest as godfather to the
child.-New York Evening Sun.

EMPEROR AMONG BEGcARS.
An Adventure Of the Young Chinese Rule
Among His Poor Subjects.

An Adventure Of the Young Chinese Ruler
Among His Poor subjects.
The young emperor of China had
a narrow escape from a thorough
trouncing. if not worse, at the hands
of a party of beggars in his capital. II
is a favorite pastime of the young en-
peror to wander in ordinary Chinese
clothes through the streets of Picking,
to lounge around the corners, and
drink his tea in the most crowded res.
taurants, in order that he may learn
what his subjects may think OF him
and his government. lie runs no risk
of having his identity discovered while
thus doing the town. for in Peking
the art Of photography is not prac-
ticed and consequently the people at
large have no idea of the personal APP
pearance of their sovereign.
The emperor had gone but a short
distance from his palace on M Of
these trips of investigation, late in the
afternoon, when he say a Chinese beg
gar picking the pocket of a respectable
merchant. The emperor promptly
caught the beggar by the back Of his
blouse, cuffed his ears and forced him
TO return TO the merchant the stuff
stolen from his pocket. Now, this per
Torrance Of the emperor was much
more remarkable in Peking than it
would have been in any other big city
of the world, for in Picking beggars
and pickpockets are protected by a
kind of unwritten law. Beggary is
recognized as a perfectly legitimate
employment, and the beggars consti-
tute a guild which has for its prime
object the mutual protection Of all
members of the craft. Any one who
interferes with a beggar in the prosecu-
ton Of his employment exposes him
self TO the vengeance Of the guild.
This vengeance generally takes the
rough and ready form Of the 6ogging
OF the interloper at the hands Of as
many beggars as the beggar. who has
been interfered with can Immediately
summon 10 his assistance.
Of course the young Emperor knew
nothing about this abuse, which OBJ
tanned many decades ago in his big
capital. After cutting the beggar's
ears he went his way quite unappre-
hensive, and brought up in a restau-
rant but a few rods from the scene Of
