The primitive plan of washing win.
dows by sitting out on the sill to clean
the outer sash killed one woman, who
fell backwards into the street yester-
day. 1t is always marvel, seeing
this perilous plan for cleaning up
per windows, that more of such unac-
customed gymnasts do not lose their
balance, and, with it, their lives.
Nothing can save them when they
once topple over, because their hands
are otherwise employed than in hold
ing on. A fashion of sash that hinges,
instead of being raised by weights and
pulleys, is desideratum. There are
contrivances for this purpose, but it
will probably take number of funer-
ais before house builders and house
owners conclude to adopt them. Even
when the window washer does not fall
out backward, the strain upon nerves
and muscles is most injurious by this
bad old plan. Philadelphia Ledger.

Water FilterinC.

Various patterns of filters are in use,
very few of which are of any value
whatever. They act only as strain
err to remove the coarser impurities,
but have no effect upon the micro
scopic bacteria, or matters held in So
luton, which are the most dangerous.
A flannel bag is exactly as good filter
as these expensive devices, and pos
sesses the additional advantages Of be-
ing easily cleaned or renewed. The
most effective filters are those in
which disk of porous stone or earth
enware forms the filtering material,
but it is best to make sure of the orig
inal supply of water, rather than to
try to purify it by any such uncertain
methods. Popular Science Monthly.

what it contained:
"You undertake tho defense Of Roger La
rogue You speak of his honor in keeping
silence about the money and who paid him.
Go homo and ask your wife, or, better still.
ask her lover, whose life you are trying to
saven
This letter was from Luversan, who feared
that Roger might escape
Now, as by lghtning's flash. Lucien saw
all, knew all. All that had been inexplicable
before was explained And the light came
30 suddenly that he fell backward to a seat
and remained there for a moment as if dead.
When he arose again, with the help of the
gendarmes, he looked like corpse, only that
he moved.
He turned to Roger, and murmured but
two words:
"Infamous manp
"Lucienp said Roger.
"Look me, Julia's husband, your friend, in
the facet"
For an5wcr, Roger hid his eyes in both his
hands and bowed his head in silence. Lucien
was answered.
Roger had ceased, but he dimly felt that he
must proceed He must continue He was
here to save Roger from the accusation of
him for the one he had At least he could do
his duty, but he felt something give way in
his brain. He rose to the occasion and his
duty, and began again his interrupted adj
dress, though his voice was hoarse and faint
"Repose yourself little" said the presi-
dent.
But Lucien shook his head. He now knew
all, and Rogers innocence of this crime COM
manded his best efforts The rest could come
afterward
He spoke, and his voice and heart grew
strong together, and that vast audience hung
breathless upon his words, and into them he
put so much of his own despair that every
heart melted. Roger heard nothing of all
this. Those two awful words resounded like
thunderous reverberations through his brain,
deadening every other sound.
But suddenly that tide of impassfoned
words was checked and then resumed feebly:
II charge you, men of the jury, to remem-
Der that Roger Laroque is innocent. / know
it, swear it, but cannot divulge his secret.
And with the last word Lucien fell into the
arms of those nearest him, and when tho doc
tor reached him he said: "Ho is dead; he has
ruptured blood vessel in his brain"
Roger tried to reach him, but he was held
firmly in his seat, and when they told him
Lucien was dead he burst into an agony of
sobs, which he vainly tried to stiAe. He alone
knew what had been Lucien's death blow,
and he felt himself condemned of God and
man. Already two deaths upon his con-
science, Henriette's and Luciens. He wished
to die that he might expiate his sin.
When the president asked him il he had
anything to add he said, in a sonorous voice:
81 am guilty. Condemn me-"
But his measure of sufferiugs was not yet
full. And when the jury, after a short con.
sultation, returned, they gave in their verdict
Guilty, but with extenuating circum-
| stances"
So he could not even die. He was con.
demned to the galleys for life. Thus he must
| expiate his wrong, and he was led away, hi:
head bowed, and his face that of an old
broken down man.

Remarkable Decrease In the Use of Alco-
hol in London Hospitals.
A very interesting report has been
presented to the British Medical Tenn
peranoe Association by Drs. Morton,
NOR and Pearce, on the adminlstra-
tion Of alcohol in hospitals The COM
mittee have drawn up series Of tables
full Of instructive figures, instituting .
comparison between the amount ex-
pended under this head in 1863 and in
1855. The remarkable fact is noted
that in these twenty-five years there
has been, from the returns made by 11S
hospitals, an increase Of 800 per cent. In
the charge for milk and decrease of
AZ per cent. In the charge for alcohol.
A second table gives returns from go
hospitals of which no previous reoord
could be found. On the basis adopted
by Dr.. Fleetwood Buckle, In his report
on 1868, these so hospitals showed . de-
crease Of 30 per cent in the expendi-
ture for alcohol per bed. A third
table shows the comparative al
coholic charges per bed in 1855
and 1883 respectively. In 70 hos
pitfalls there had been an increase
Of s.f0s beds, and an decrease Of total
aversge cost per bed of SIS IS. Sd. Beds
have thus increased at the rate Of - per

,er cent Only eight Of this group Of

per cent Only eight Of this group Of
hospitals showed an increase in the
quantity Of alcohol consumed. In the
remaining 65 the decrease ranged from
80 to IS per cent In the London Fever
Hospital while milk has risen from
ESQ TO $3.50 per annum, the 'disburse-
ments for alcohol were at the rate, of
only 15a 3D. per bed in 1883, as COM
pared with 60 IS. per bed In 1868. In
St Bartholomew Hospital the milk
bill has, gone up from f6OO to over
$4,000, while the alcohol bill had gone
down from ALAG to f953. These statis-
tics prove that there has been grad
ually increasing rational medical ad-
ministration of alcohol, the credit Of
which must be awarded to the medical
stats Of the hospitals, fact which af-
fords yet another proof of the lively in
terest in the promotion OF temperance
taken by the medical profession. Brit
