Da,oers of Dust Overrated.

DR.. Felix l.. Oswald is credited with the
statement that the hygienic disadvantages
of CARPET dust have been considerably
overrated. He says that in the houses
of wealthy Turks where sitting room
and bedroom is often furnished with
the heaviest wooden carpets, which are
rarely removed oftener than once IN
three years, lung diseases are almost
unknown. Dust, under those clrcum-
stances, can hardly be avoided, but OF
such impurities our respiratory organs
seem able TO rid themselves by mere sift-
ing process, and the true lungbane Is, In
deed. not dust but the subtle poison OF
vitiated gases. The sanitary statistics OF
European cities prove that teamster work.
and even street sweeping. are by no means
Incompatible with longevity Still, in
rooms where dust is apt TO accumulate,
movable rugs are, on the whole, preferable
to large carpets which, indeed, they have
begun to supersede in the model parlors OF
many sanitary establishments.

1t Consists in Neatness, Attention to De-
tails and a. Little Practice.
An idea obtains with good many people
that there is some occult mystery in the
preparation OF omelets. AS fact, nothing
is necessary beyond neatness and attention
TO detail. To begin with the pan in which
the omelet is TO be cooked must be delicate
ly clean, and above all perfectly dry Some
good cooks even 20 so far as to declare that
if it is busted out before using with adamp
buster the omelet will be spoiled. certain it
is that most cordons bleux will not allow
their omelet pan TO be washed, but empty
it out directly the omelet is made and rub
the pan clean with kitchen paper. Granted

FIXTURE. For this butter Is the best, and il
should be used as follows: First put the
pan on the fire To get thoroughly hot, then
lay in the butter and begin to shake the
pan steadily, to facilitate the spreading OF
the butter all over its surface as the FIXTURE
melts, and also TO avoid any chance of the
latter's catching. Directly the butter is

from the tilt, will bring the omelet into

Hardening Plaster of Paris.

A London exchange calls attention TO a
process for hardening plaster Of paris,
making that substance suitable for floor
ing purposes, communicated to the French
Academy of Science The plaster is mixed
with one-sixth it's weight OF fine, freshly
Stacked lime, and used with as little water
as possible After it is thoroughly dry it
is treated with a saturated solution Of
either zinc sulphate oriron sulphate. With
the first the hardened plaster remains white,
while the second. by gradual oxidation,
Yields the color of iron rust, which gives a
fine imitation of mahogany under the APP
plication of linseed oil.

Sterilizing Water.

The of late much discussed question Of

society. Mr. Bache has made a number Of
experiments, which 20 to prove that cur

self kills the germs. In any case the water
