whas ] Farmer Aeeempllahsa.

From farmer in Virginia some
years ago ! received request that
he might send me a package Of col
ored sketches Of wild flowers and
that / would verify or rectify his de-
termination of their names.
Inquiry developed the fact that he
had reached adult age as farmer
when he began to feel the need Of
some subject Of thought and interest
outside Of his daily work.
Without any scientific help or
knowledge he set about collecting
and naming the birds Of the Shenan-
doah valley. Not satisfied with
stuffed specimens he conceived the
idea Of painting the birds he collect
led. With no artistic knowledge or
instruction he ordered paints and
brnshes and set himself at work, and
today there are very few artists in
the country who can paint birds
with 80 much Of artistic grace and
scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years, having trans
ferred to paper all the birds of the
region, he procured "Gray's Man
ual" and began TO study the plants
Of the valley, first determining their
names and then painting them. He
accordingly sent on a package Of
colored sketches, artistically attract
i've and SO true to nature that there
was not the slightest doubt as to any
Of the $50 species represented, while
his own unassisted determinations

Dislnfsction BY Heat.

In the journal of the American
Medical association emphasis is given
to the ready means Of disinfecting
excreta in the sickroom or its vicin-
ity by the application of heat. Ex-
act experiments show that the ther
NAL death point Of the following
pathogenic bacteria and of the kinds
of virus mentioned is below 140 degs.
Fviz-, spirillum of cholera, bacil
1us Of anthrax, bacillus of typhoid
fever, bacillus of diphtheria, bacillus
Of glanders. diplococcus Of pneu-
monia, strept0coccus of erysipelaE,
staphylococci Of pus, vaccine virus.
sheep pox virus, hydrophobla virus
Ten minutes exposure to the tenn
perature mentioned may, it is found,
be relied upon for the disinfection of
material containing any of these
pathogenic organisms, excepting the
anthrax bacillus when in the stage
Of spore formation.
The use, therefore. of boiling wa
ter in the proportion of three or four
parts to one part Of the material to
be disinfected is recommended for
such material, or, better still, d 10
per cent solution Of sulphate of iron
or Of chloride Of zinc, at the boiling
point, may be used in the same way.

FoNpNsss FOR ANTIclIMAx.

One Of the most laughable fea-
lures about Rudyard Kipling's short
sketches of East Indians, and also
oneof the truest to life, say those who
have lived in India, is the strong
tendency the natives have to use the
most startling anticlimaxes in their
formal speeches to one another, and
more especially when a native OF
low caste or great poverty petitions
European for a favor. In the lat
ter case the speaker will say some
thing like this

tion for justice is known from east
