DEATH TO BACTERIA.
Coffee Discovered TO Be Good and Eco
nOmicAl Dislnfectant.

Coffee Discovered to 80 Good and Eco
nOmicAl Dislnfectant.
An old negro living in district where
the disease often prevailed, once told
the writer that one of the best pre-
ventlve measures against yellow fever
was infusion OF coffee. Some years ago
he passed through an epidemic OF that
grave malady under the worst possible
conditions. For ut least q month he oc-
cupied the quarters OF large number
Of sufferers, passing night and day
among them, eating and sleeping in
their midst
Recalling the homely advice given
him, he faithfully tried coffee as an
antiseptic and drank freely OF very
strong infusion Ave or six times day,
and continued the practice all the time
he was under exposure. He was for
tunate enough to escape contagion. but
never attached much Importance to the
use OF the coffee. Cons -dering the re-
suits of recent developments, 1t would
seem that the old negro was right in at
tributing antiseptic properties to 1t.
A series of experiments conducted by
o German professor has proved that
they are quite marked. Several differ
emit forms of intestinal bacteria were
experimental upon, and their develop
ment and growth were found in all
cases to be interfered with by the addi-
ton of small quantity Of coffee infu-
sion to nutrient gelatin. In pure intu-
sion the bacteria were rapidly de-
stroyed.
The question as to what constituents
exercise the antiseptic effect can not
yet be fully determined. The caffeine
is certainly active in only slight de-
gree; the tannin to a somewhat greater
extent; but presumably, of greatest i'm
portance are the substances that are de-
veloped by roasting. 1t is interesting
to note that q cup of coffee, left in o
room for q week or more, remains al
most free from heterogeneous. -Bos-
ton Herald.

packages of frecrackers lying un-
touched in the sugar-house appealed to
Jack. and he said to Emily:
"You might as well get some of those
fire-crackers, and il we soc Tim Reilly
or any of those kids Il am sorry to say
that my hero did talk slang) who didn't
expect to have any, why. just toss out
few to them"
The lunch which had occupied so
large place in Jacks thoughts was
served on the piazza, and Mr.. Harring-
ton and Uncle Ned tried their hardest
to be entertaining, and were so success
full that Jack forgot his pain and disap-
pointment and laughed US merrily as
any one.
1t wasn't easy to see the party of for
the circus. Dick Torrey magnanimous-
" offered to stay with Jack and play
checkers, but am proud to say that he
wasn't listened to for o moment; and
when they all went of down the street,
Jack waved his hand as cheerfully as
If he hadn't been thinking OF it day and
night for weeks.
There was quite fight with selfish
ness as night came on. Several OF his
fathers and mothers friends had been
asked to come and see the fireworks in
the evening, but it seemed to Jack that
he could not bear it to have to lie in the
chair and see some one else fire them
of. Selfshness prompted him to ask
his mother to send word to the people
and have the fireworks put of until he
was we'll; but he knew that this would
mean a great deal Of trouble. and that
those who were expected had not pro
vided fireworks Of their own. And, !
am glad to say, his better nature won
the victory, and he made Dick supreme
ly happy, when he came over to report
about the circus, by asking him to take
his place. The fireworks were a great
success land so, at least In the boys
opinion, was the ice-cream which fol'
lowed), and when the guests finally
took their departure, one of the boys
proposed three rousing cheers for Jack,
which were given SO enthusiastically
and with such prolonged energy that
the older members of the family fully
expected to see the police at their gate
When Jack was helped up to bed that
night he told his mother that he had
had almost as good a time as he ex-
pected to have. Perhaps the sweetest
moment of all was when his mother,
giving him her goodnight kiss, said;
You haven't celebrated the day,
dear, as you meant to do; but you have
made me very proud and happy by bear
ing so bravely all the pain and disap-
pointment, and really think you have
shown yourself man."
To which Jack, somewhat irrever'
emily, but with an accompanying hug
which prevented any reproof, replied
Mother, you're q daisy!"-Ada Sher'

The people of the First congressional district will re-elect Judge Cate by such a majority that there will be no room to doubt the result. Instead of a ma- jority of 800 to l0Oo. which he received in November. 1888, the figures will most probably double that number. That the district is safely and reliably Democratic is not to br doubted. This is shown by election returns for state officers, president and congressman for many years past. In 1888 good many Wheelers supported Mir. Featherston under the belief that he was Demo- crat. Their faith in his Democracy has been rudely dispelled. He has voted with the Republicans on too many oc- casions to claim to be a Democrat. All these voters. and many more, will sup port Judge Cate at the coming election, while Mir. Featherston will be left with the Republican vote and the beg garly contigent of U-L. people in that district. The tide is turning in every county in the district. There is a de- termination to avenge the wrong of lin- seating Judge Cate il so pronounced Il manner that it will carry great moral influence with it in every part of the Union. If the Democracy will keep up it's organization in it's present high and effective state our majority in the First district will not fall below 2000.-Ark- ansas Democrat.
