Exhaust Steam and Sewers.

Steam should never be put into a brick or cement sewer, as it has an injurious effect on the same, causing diantegration and collapse within a very short time. Neither should 1t be led into brick chimney for the same reasons. In some places 1t IS the practice of engineers to turn the exhaust from pump or small engines into the sewers, but this is bad prac- t;ce. and we believe an illegal act in some cities, for it will not only de- ssroy the sewers, but the heat of the steam makes the malaria1 gases more active, while at the same time it pro duces a certain amount of pressure that will force the gas back into buildings through the water traps commonly in use.
 In these traps there is seldom more than three inches of water. and very little pressure is necessary to force the gas through them. Whenever gas is forced back through buildings in this CT a similar manner, the death rate in that locality will certainly be greatly increased. Stationary En- gIneer.

schoolbey.. Enxlish.

In a recent examination some boys were asked to define certain words and to give sentence illustrating the meaning. Here are few: Frantic means wild; picked some frantic flowers. Akmbo, with crook; Ihad a dog with an akimbo in his tail. Ath- letic, strong; vinegar was too athletic to use. Tandem, one behind another; the boys sit tandem at school.
 And then some single words are funnily explained; Dust is mud with the wet squeezed out; fins are fishes wings; monkey, small boy with . tail; stars are the moons eggs; cir conference is distance around the middle of the. side.-London Tit Bits.

Poet. and poxs.

Poets have always loved dogs. In this poets and boys resemble each other. Walter Savage Landor was devoted to his dog Giallo, and By ron's epitaph upon his dog Boat swain we all remember:
 To mark friends remains. these stones arise; never had but one. and there he lies.
 Cowper was very fond of his dog. and we know how Charles Lamb, who was a prose poet. loved his Dash, and how Mrs. Browning ap- preciated the little Flush to whom she indited q poem. The Earl of Shaftesbury kept his noble collie in his library with him at all times, and Samuel Rogers always walked out with his dog. Scott declined an in- vitation to dinner when his dog died, saying that he could not accept on account of the ''loss of an old friend. -Harper's Young People.

The Origin of the Christmas Tree.
 What Is the origin of the Christ mas treei This question has been much debated. 1t has been ident- fled with the cross of Christian tra- dition and with the Yule log of pagan antiquity. M. de Gubernatis has contended that it is a reminis- cence of solar mythology, and other savants have elaborately devc' ed other theories more or less fants- .ic. Among the most probable, however, is the suggestion of Palus Csssel that it Is a Jewish emblem in disguise. Dr. Cassel points out in the first place, that Hanucah and Christmas occur very closely together in the calendar. He then reminds us that both are feasts of lights. and that the menorah or candlestick used by the Jews on Hanucah is frequent ly carved with representations of leaves. flowers and fruits, which give it a distant resemblance to Q tree.
 The transition of the early Chris tians from their old faith to the new was a slow process, and they doubt less carried many Jewish ceremonies and symbols with them. That the Hanucah menorah figured in this baggage is most likely, and it is not difficult to see how it could become transmitted into the gayiy capari- soned and illuminated tree which is the pivot of all Christmas festivities.

What are known as "Pinard's sandwiches" are much used at high teas and afternoon receptions. They are made from narrow rolls that are about four or five inches long and quite thick, and known to the baker as finger rolls. Cut the rolls and scrape out good part of the crumb without breaking the outside. Butter the shells and fill them with various mixtures of meat chopped fine and seasoned to taste. Chicken, tongue, ham, and sardine sandwiches may be made, or they may all be of kind. Tie the halves of the rolls together through the middle with narrow rib bons of different shades.-New York Post.

Being Restored to Caste,

A Fyzabad Hindoo has been re- stored to bis caste by the following process of ''purifcation:" He lost caste eating cooked food in railway carriage, in which persons of another caste were travelling. He had to pay his own weight first in rice, the value reaching 1s0 rupees, and then in wheat. After being twice weighed in this way he was made to sit on a square stone, while his body was covered with manure, the face only excepted; he was then taken up by two men and thrown into the river, and after bath was received by the Brahmans, fully restored to caste fel- lowship.

TO IDENTIFY THE UNKNOWN"

 A Yankees Scheme to Prevent the sfys-
 terious Disappearance of Men.
 The latest from the brain of the ingenious Yankee is even more prac- ucal than novel.
 Day after day it is to be read in the papers that some unfortunateh has gone into a grave marked ''un- known, or perhaps some most prom inent and respected citizen has sud denly disappeared from sight and gone-nobody knows where, the last possibly the sequel of the first
 Then again, after weeks of anxiety and fruitiess search, some friend or relative is frequently found dying or dead in some hospital.
 Now comes the proverbial "Yank, '" and with a plan to alleviate all this.
 He disappeared with an invention, if such it may be called, which he styles "A Perfect System for Identifi- cation And, truly. if it were to be generally adopted, it could but empty the morgue and place the unknown grave" on the page of history only as thing of the past.
 Here is what the originator of the plan has to say:
 Fate and chance are the two un- controllable factors ip every mans life Struggle as he may, be prudent ashs can, the unknown events of the future bear down upon him with re- sistless force, and in a second he may be swept away to violent death or meet with serious injury.
 Tn this active age, bristling with the dangers of rapid transit, electric currents, lofty buildings, fast sea voyages and the thousand and one complications of civilization, how necessary to exercise the utmost pru- dence!
 Invention after invention has been put out and eagerly sought by the public for protectioh until it would seem that there could be no improvement, yet the most impor- tant of all has been overlooked, and that is system for identification"
 The "Yank" has supplied the miss ing link
 Here's his plan.
 The prudence" of which he speaks consists in one registering with the head of the concern which he pro- poses to establish, or in fact has al- ready established. The cost would be trifing, probably one dollar for the first year and fifty cents for each subsequent year.
 In return the subscriber receives a freproof and ''indestructible" metal lie badge, which is to be attached to, if @ male, the suspender, and if a female, to the corset. On the out side of this, in large letters, are the words, If dead, injured or uncon- scious see the other side"
 On the other side is number, no two badges containing the same number. There are also instructions to telegraph this number to the head quarters of the concern and the state ment that they will then notify the unfortunate's friends. The number is no sooner received at the office than the clerical force will turn to it on their records, where, opposite to it, will be found not only the name of the person on whom the badge has been found, but a perfect descrip- tion of the same and the address of his or her friends.
 The person is identified. Boston Globe

is that there are so many ways in which the
germ may be taken into the stomach. II
may find Its way there by means of polluted
water or food. A person may touch his
hand to some infected object and unwit-

producing infection, and only the greatest
care and thoughtfulness on the part of those
exposed can place them beyond the reach of

the patients, and if necessary quarantine
