DIsINFEcTINa THE SICK ROOM.

CLOTHES can be thoroughly disin-
fected by boiling for half an hour in
water. If the heated water is not at
hand, the clothes should be immersed in
solution containing one dram to the
gallon of corrosive sublimate (mercuric
chlorlde), or one ounce to a gallon of
pure carbolic acid, care being taken not
to place the mercuric chloride solution
IN metal vessels, but rather in wooden
tub or earthen crock. This method does
not apply to clothing CT bedding which
cannot be washed; this can only be
properly disinfected by being subjected
to superheated steam in suitable steam
dslnfecting apparatus.
The general plan employed in disin-
tectlon OF the atmosphere, together with
the surroundings in the room, is by means
OF sulphurous acid gas, secured by the
combustion of sulphur. The sulphur, in
powder or small fragments, is placed in
shallow iron pan about three pounds

which, after being moistened with
alcohol, is ignited, all measures for thor
ough closing of every aperture in the
room having been previously taken. In
order to guard against fire, it is advised
that the pan should be set upon couple

Good Advice ON the subjec, of Hats.

AuNiCc on tho OdDJCSt NJ
Some one has said that not one man III
a dozen knows how to wear a dress coat,
and it is quite as true that large num-
Der of individuals do not have any idea
how to wear hat. One man can wear
his hat at the back of his head and look
well dressed, while another having his
hat in that position would look as though
he were recovering from protracted
round of dissipation. 1t is just the same
with the other positions, on the top of
the head, on either side or drawn over
the forehead. 1t is knowing how to wear
a hat which makes it look well, and the
knowledge often enables the poor man
to look more dressy in cheap hat than
his richer neighbor in a much more cost
ly one.
The time the knowledge is saving
one is when buying hat A good sales
man will take care that a customer gets
hat that will fit him when worn in the
position which is most becoming to that
individual, but unless this is taken care
of by either purchaser or salesman there
will be little satisfaction from the pur-
chase and the hat will probably blow off
at the smallest provocation. A BIT that
fits and is worn right seldom blows off,
no matter how high the wind may be-

Egypt and the Soudan.

To the trained military eye Egypt pre-
sents itself as the eastern bastion Of the
i'll shaped African continent-a bastion
naturally strong and capable Of resisting
attack, whose. broad meats are the Medi-
terranean and the Red seas, together with
the dry moat of the desert. The bastion
at once commands the narrow strip of
coast extending to Tripoli and the cur
tain stretching along the Libyan desert
to the Soudan. It sweeps the peninsula
of Sinai, and its influence covers the
whole coast of Syria from south to
north. The Soudan, which has already
drunk in so much blood, is so closely
bound up with Egypt that no complete
settlement of the Egyptian question is
possible without an arrangement of the
affairs of the Soudan.

Sprung from Hunters.

Traditions and folklore among the
people of mountainous Kentucky ara
evanescent and vary widely in different
localities. 1t appears that the people
are sprung in part from the early hunt
ers who came into the mountains when
game was abundant, sport unfailing and
living cheap. Among them now are
still hunters, who know the haunts OF
bear and deer, needing no dogs. Even
yet they prefer wild meat-even 'pos.
sum" and "coon" and groundhog-to any
other.-"Blue Grass Region of Ken.

The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or SO a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 50 a year. And as
to permanent alignment the YOsT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

YOetry of the War.

Wartime poetry is, in proportion to
its volume, transient indeed, and out Of
the vast mass OF camp songs, poetic ex-
hortations to patriotism and mourning
stanzas produced in great war it is
rare that more than two or three survive
and become standard classics. The
American civil war presented no excep-
ton. 1t is too soon to say positively that
even half dozen poems Of that time
will live, but it is certain that at least
one poet on each side will be quoted for
ages-Father Ryan and Julia Ward
