A New Bleaching Agent.

DR.. Ludwig Schreiner, of Stuttgart, has
brought forward a new bleaching agent
which he calls ozonin. 1t is prepared by
dissolvinG p parts of hydrate of potash in
1861 parts of water, to which 125 parts of
resin are added after boiling the solution.
To this mixture are added first $50 parts
oil of turpentine, and then 126t5 parts per-
oxide of hydrogen. The product thus OBJ
tanned is ozonin, a bleaching agent more
powerful than either turpentine or perox-
ide of hydrogen alone DR.. Schreiner
says that solution of one part of ozonin
in 1000 parts of water will form a power
full textile bleach, and that the solution
also has disinfecting and antisept:c proper
ties of value.-Boston Transcript

WHICH ARE MORE WICKED,


The Boston journal is publishing a Sc
ries Of interviews with prominent New
England men on the question, "Are coun-
try people more wicked than city peoplez"
and "DOes the country have bad nhu-
ence upon the city?' Last Saturdays
journal contains the opinions of two we'll
known Brattleboro men. Col. Hooker says:
care country people more wicked than city
people?' admits of only one answer Per-
sonally, having divided my time equally
between city and country, am equally
wicked. The resident of the country is in
happy ignorance of wickedness as known
in the centres. Mean people, hypocrites
and holier than thou you find i'm the coun-
try to some extent, but total depravity dis
appears in a good atmosphere. The wicked
are in small numbers where mountains are
high and streams rapid
Col. Estey is quoted as follows: "My
idea Of wickedness is that familiarity with
sin produces sin, and that i'm the country
where there are fewer people, there is less
likelihood of being drawn into the grosser
sins. Therefore, | should say that the
country was far purer in proportion to the
number of its inhabitants than the cities,
although | am, of course, aware that in
some parts of the cities, the moral atmos-
phere is clearer than i'm others
