DR.. G. G.. Currier, of New York, is au-
thority for some interesting facts publish
ed in The Medical Record about the effect
which boiling has upon water. He states
that, unless extraordinarily resistant, wa
ter becomes steriIized il 1t he at or near the
boiling temperature for fifteen minutes
If the same degree of heat be maintained
for five minutes all harmful micro-organ-
isms viii have been destroyed Still less
time serves to destroy the disease produc-
ing varieties which are recognised as liza
BILE to occur in water. Thus merely rails
ing to the boiling point clear waterteon-
tanning the micro-organisms of malarial
disorders, typhoid, cholera, diphtheria,
or o< suppurative processes, and allowing
it to gradually cool, insures the destruc-
tion of these germs. They are also de-
stroyed by keeping the water for from a
quarter of an hour ohaaf an hour at q
temperature of 20 degrees Centigrade.
Occasionally, however, very resistant but
harmless bacteria may get intowater. The
brief heating renders them safe for drink
ing purposes; but when it is desired to de-
stroy every micro-organism that may be
present in q contaminated water it should
be heated for one hour and allowed to cool
slowly. Then it may be used for cleansing
wounds or for alkaloida1 solutions, which
will keep indefinitely If no germs be intro
duced after the solution has been heated

THE ELECTRICAL COUNTER.

to call the census of 1890 an electrical cen
sus, for electricity is doing large part of
the work on it. lightning has been har-
messed to the figures, and they will be hus-
tied into columns and added up with sur
prising hveliness
This rs accomplished by means of an
electrical counting machine. The opera
tor sits at the machine and plays upon it
as if it were a piano, each key pressed
punching a hole in Q card divided into
small squares, each of which has a peculiar
significance, as age, sex, color, married or
single. etc. These cards are atteTward
passed under a press containing a pin
for every square In the card for tabula-
ton. These pins are SO arranged that as
the card passes under them the pins cor
responding 10 the holes punched in it
push through them. completing electrical
circuits which register the results on dials,
the data which the holes represent.
II is said that ssikful operator on one
of these machines can compile the statistics
obtained from 4o. 900 people in a single day,
and that the entire force at work il grind
ing out the census at the rate of $500, 600

to act as sdstsrssnsto to the dAvotess to tight
lacang; ba1t an enlightened woman of the
present day, comgneating upon Professor
Virchowis views, thinks It difficult to un-
derstand how the eminent specialist in
caneerous growths can have seen the in
ternal organs of ladies who wore the long,
slim dress bodies of the Stuares, or who
had their wsssts under their aims in early
Georgian days.
This writer, who ia evidently not an ad-
vocate of modern dress reform, further ex-
presses her opinions as follows:
at las not apparently ssxuck the protes-
sor that the slender waist OF the modern
woman Is In reality an evelution-the re-
suit of radical tendency far mare often
than Of tight lacing. This Is the view held
by one Of the highest English authorities
on female anatomy q refer to Mr. Z. w.
Num-, Z. r. c. s., the eminent consulting
surgeon at the Mi4dlesex hospital), and he
inferentially associates tia possession of a
small waist with high intellectually. He
argues that as the necessity for hard exer-
ton and excessive manual labor has been
removed by advancing eulture, female
muscles have become smaller and more
flexible. Hencs talent has been especially
favored in this direction, and is producing
a race of ceful women whose hereditary
influence are decidedly intellectual The
theory is decidedly startling and will not
be welcomed by the dress reformers, whose
figures, according to it, would not as
rule indicate high mental culture"

Timing a Railroad Train.

Few persons who travel have any idea Of
the speed OF train, and wide divergence
OF opinion is noted whenever passengers
endeavor 20 state ths rate at which they
are travelling. WhEt IL said TO be the most
accurate method CT timing train and the
one common among old railroad men is TO
count the number Of rail joints the train
passes over in twenty seconds The rails
on nearly all roads are thirty feet IN laagth.
and the number Passed over in twenty SEQ
ends Is ths speed per hour 4 tram is run

count thirty clicks o. . rail joint in TWEEN

of thirty miles an hour. Actually ais

pie given above the speed would be nearer
thiFty-one than thirty miles, but il is near
enough for all practical purposes.

TIE ATOMS CUT DEEP

CHICAGO, Ill, July 28.-In the notice
given by the Chicago & Alton of a pro
posed reduction in grain rates from Kan
saS City TO Chicago it declares its inten-
tiOn of making "A rate of ID cents per
hundred pounds on corn instead of II,
RS at first announced. The Alton
takes the ground that there should
be difference of 3 cents per hun
dred between the rate between
wheat and that on corn and that
the rate on wheat should not be above 20
cents. 1t therefore proposes to reduce the
rate on corn and oats from the present
basis of 20 cents to Is cents per hundred
and that on wheat from 2215 cents to 20
cents. Some of the other roads, however,
hope to induce the Chicago q Alton to
compromise on II cent rate on corn.
This will be settled at the meeting We'd
nesday.

Mgr. Clementi, archbishop of Damascus.
He also obtained an audience and special
blessing from the holy father the same year
before his return to the United States. In
November, 1862, he was appointed assistant
pastor at St. AIMS church and continued
to perform the duties of that Office until
he was chosen by the archbishop to found
the parish of the Epiphany.
Some time ego DR.. Burtsen was made
defender of the marriage tie being the
first American incumbent of the Office.
He was an earnest friend of DR.. Nc
Glynn in his trouble with the church
brought about by his devotion to the Henry
George land tax theory and the Anti-Pov-
erty club. 1t is for this that DR.. Burtsell
is now disciplined. Archbishop Corrigan
issued the orders recently confirmed some
time ago.

A Word About the Eyebrows.

The beauty of the eye depends much
upon the brows; therefore a writer on toi-
let matters advises in Good Housekeeping
that they should receive equal attention
with the hair, being combed or brushed
carefully, small soft brush wet with CO.
logne and water being used TO dampen
them. An application of almond oil at
night is frequently usefal to give added
strength and growth to the brows. Where
dry eruption appears, as IS sometimes the
case, dressing to be applied with a soft
brush may be made of gill of water and
an ounce of glycerine and eight grains
chlorate of potassium.

some CURIOUS SEIZURES.
Singular Liquors Thst Hnve peen aeizs

Singular Liquors That Hnve ueen Retzed
by the New .yoriE Customs Authorities.
The New York custom house cessation
ally affords Interesting giinpses into the
vast fgreign life Of the United Steees. Re
ce1tly while calling upon friend, who
holds a responsible position In that cir
cumlocutory Institution, he showed mo
samples CT large number OF invoices
Of liquors which hssd recently been import
ed. Every one would pnzzle the average
man about town. Cne was greenish yel-
low fluid called slivsyitseh II comes from
Austria and the EAllSsa statos and Is made
from small Wild plaTa which grows In
that district. 1t Is fiery and to a Yankee
palate very disagreeahle, but IS extremely
popular with the aungarians and Wal
laks.
A suggestion of the Holy Land was given
by samples OF honey wine, passover honey
wine and Jerusalem plum brandy. The
first and second were sweet and odorous,
but triie irsipid. In composition they
are like the metheglin and honey mead
used in England during the Middle Ages.
The brandy was raw and almost vitTiolio.
The three stimn1ants are consumed by the
Slovaks and peizks from Russia and the
Greeks and SyTians from Asia Minor.
Specimens of pGlque and II sscal showed
thai Mexico has some ir.Ipence upon its
sister republic. The former is beer made
from cactus, and tastes somewhat Ike that
gaseous German horror weiss bier. It is
far stronger, however, and is said to pro-
duce the most intense drunkenness known
TO erring man. The mescal is the distillate
of pulque, and can be described only by
the word atrocious.
The Scandinavians show their love Of the
fatherland by unceasing tmportations of
Christiania beer, Swedish punch and korn
brapdtvin. The beer is light, pleasant and
wholesome; the punch is aromatic, sayory,
but so sweet as TO be insipid; the korH
brandtvin is not corn brandy, as the name
literally translated would imply, but
whisky made from rye, oats and barley. 1t
is rich in fusel oil and consequently head
ache.
From Russia every now and then comes
vodka or wodky, an impure, reeking,
strong alcohol, from Central America
soma delicious cordials made out of pine
apple, gua1a and banana; from China not
less than fifty stinulants, running from
tea wine, rosebud wine and almond beer
to heavy millet whisky and rice brandy;
from Turkey soine liquid for making sher-
bet, and from Brazil Iavangina, or orange
peel gin Over 5000 different kinds of
are known and recorded in the
custom house, of which $500 were un-
known to Americans fifteen years ago.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
The Hard Worked Society Woman and
Her BIultitudinous Occupations.

The Hard Worked Society Woman and
Her BIultitudinous Occupations.
Excitement it is often claimed, is the
keynote of the lives of the women Of the
day, and this is protested against by
the fathers, the brothers and, shall we
say, the lovers. But The London Queen
asks: docs excitement rightly ex-
press the spirit that animates so larges
portion of the feminine world2 In good
cause this spirit OF unrest might be termed
activity of mind and body, laudable de
sire to do something and to go some
where"
Setting aside the amusernents, the en-
gagements, the entertainments, the dis
fractions that society offers to every wom-
an, however placed, benevolence, for want
of better word to express it, fills up
portion OF each woman's daily life. There
was never a time when SO much was actu-
ally done by society ladies in this respect
as at the present; never did they SO active
ly exert themselves or 50 strenuously aid
and help in undertakings OF all kinds, for
''sll sorts and conditions of men," and it
has become fashion to be more or less
associated with good works. Time is lib
orally given, money as may be. Even the
frivolous are pleased to walk in this direc-
tion, and the hours thus SPA are sup
posed to leavea the remaining kNnes Of the
day. Religious oaseFyances have distinct
claim each day, or at Least certain days of
the week, with many ladies. Church work,
too, gives much occupation, and charitable
visiting fits In with social visiting.
The pen and the pencil are also taken up
by society ladies, and they may make them
selves a name and end time to run Htera-
tare into their daily life, As to the pencil
and the brush, there is hSrdly lady who
does not think that she can WELD them
more or less well, from painting an art pot
to copying an old master, and attendance
at classes, and studios and galleries is the
result OF this leaning toward art
The newest novels must be mead, and any
book that happens 70 be the talk of the
hour must be looked ct, 81 least, and when
all these things are got through, and the
dressing and ths driving and the dining
and the dancing and the shopping and the

that so Estle tame remains 70 be given TO

who was in athletic clothes. Rich cleared
10 ft. in, and Webster could not come
within an inch and half of it, but he had
been competing during the afternoon and
was tired. The impromptu competition
gave Rich reputation Immediately, and
soon after ne was member of the Man
haitian Athletic club and wore the cherry
diamond at the first indoor championship
games, where he composed in the standing
broad jump and three other events, but he
had to give way TO the invincible Samuel
Crook, of Rich's club.
Withextra practice he seemed to develop
into a first rate so and 75 yard runner,
showing remarkable quickness in getting
into his stride after leaving his mark, and
also travelling along at lively gait when
under full headway. He is so big that he
makes other competitors look almost like
pigmies, and his long bounding stride is
in great contrast with the style used by
the majority ofrothers. He showed fond
ness for jumping, and although he would
without doubt make a capital sprinter
should he continue practising, he prefers
to use what time he has for exercise in
growing expert at the various styles OF
standing jumping. His practice has not
been wasted, for at the games of the Free
port Athletic association, of Long Island,
held July 4, he broke the worlds amateur
record for the standing hop, step and
jump, doing 20 fit. IL in. The previous
record was 30 ft. ga in., and it was made
in 1856
In doing this game Rich toes a line,
standing on bis right leg, and hops about 7
feet, measured to the heel. He then gives
step, landing on his left leg, of about 10
feet, measured from heel to heel, and his
last effort is a jump which measures be-
tween - ft. 6 in. and Is feet from heel to
heel. 1t is game that needs considerable
strength in the legs, for there is no run
from which to derive impetus and the
movements are a plain muscular effort
Very few athletes can do it well, although
there are many good performers at the
running hop, step and jump, where over
20 feet is generally cleared All of Rich's
movements while making his recent rec
ord showed great strength, and as it is 4
simple game to perform, requiring no sp-
parstus, the majority of people can appre-
ciate Rich's figures by trying it themselves
The ground on which Rich competed was
composed mostly Of cinder, which did not
hold him well while making the leaps, and
the probabilities are that he can add few
inches to his present record if given a good
piece of smooth clay or well rolled turf.

An Electrical Census.

Fifty years ago ten months were allowed
for the completion of the United States
census. Notwithstanding the fact that
since then the population of the country
has almost tripled the present census will
be completed in much less time. This is
due partly to the better organization of the
vast army of enuInerators of course, but
large saving OF time will be accomplished,
after the returns are all in, in the compila-
tion. 1t would not be far out of the way
