A Nonpoisonous Disinfectant.


Science has been enriched by med

discovery of powerful germicide. In

In potassium permanganate science has
made long strides in the direction sof
adequate antiseptics and bacillicides, but
these drugs all have their drawbacks.
Now, however, DR.. Worrall, noted
scientist, claims to have found among
the coal products a disinfecting body ap-
parently superior to all previous ones.
He has named it izal, and DR.. Klein,
after series of exhaustive laboratory
experiments, is said TO have found it alb
solutely destructive of the spores Of some
Of the most intractable and malignant
diseases. Unlike most powerful disin-
fectants, it is nonpoisonous to human
beings and may be taken internally dilut-

A Whist PLAYER.

Colley Cibber was playing cards one
night ut Toms coffee house in Russell

houses in London which were only open
to subscribers. AS the cards were dealt
to the playful Colley. che took up every
one in turn and expressed his disap-

the game went on, he did not follow
suit, whereupon the testy old general
cried out, "What, have you not spade,
Mr.. Gbber?" The poet laureate, moth
ing abashed, looked at his cards and an
swered, ooh, yes, q thousand" a reply
which drew forth q very short and peev-

besides "shockingly addicted to swear

How to Use Charcoal In place of Ice.

For keeping large pieces of meat and
poultry here is simple device: Have a
large barrel or hogshead half filled with
charcoal. Put meat hooks in a strip of
joist and place across the top Of the bar
rel. Have q netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in cool place
and pieces Of meat be hung on the hooks
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be a
protection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt.
wrapped in paper and buried in bed of
charcoal. OF course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once a month. 1t can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, it it difficult to get a
good supply of charcoal. the old can be
purified by putting it into the stove with
few lighted chips and allowing it to
burn until "edhot. At this stage open
all the windows to let the gas pass off;
then close the drafts of thestove, remove
the covers and leave the room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, it will be
ready for use again. = Ladies' Home

Strange Experience of IA Letter.

A lady in London wished to communi-
cate with friend in America, whose ad-
dress she did not know. In order to OBJ
tain the needed information she wrote
to another friend, who also lived in the
new world. The letter was duly dis
patched, but the ship which carried it
was wrecked, and the mails went to the
sea bottom.
They were eventually recovered, how
ever. and the letter in question, torn and
discolored. found its way back to the
sender. While subiecting it to n minute
examination, the lady was surprised to
find part of another letter adhering to
it, upon which epistle was the full ad-
dress of the friend with whom she
wished to correspond. In this strange
way, without having reached its destina-
ton. her letter had brought to her the
answer desired.-London Tit-Bits.

them Beryl and Joan. AS Betsy and
Jane they would have come off all right.

Fire VIII Not pentroy It.

Asbestus is a mineral fiber of the horn
blende variety. 1t derives it's name
from Greek word which signifies Gin
destructible by fire." The ancients we're
familiar with its uses and the modes of
obtaining it, yet strange to say always
alluded to it as vegetable production.
1t was used in al their funeral rites, but
particularly where cremation was prac-
ticed, the corpse being wrapped in an
asbestus cloth so as to keep the ashes of
the dead person from mingling with
those of the wood or other combustibles
used in incarceration of the remains. The
people of Egypt and many other coun-
tries of the ancients, especially the royal
and wealthy classes, made towels, nap
kins, tablecloths, etc., of asbestus and
cleaned them by throwing them into the
fire.-St. Louis Republic.

Tho Limits of Arbitration.

With international arbitration we
confess to having comparatively little
sympathy. If nations mean to fight,
nothing will prevent their SO doing, and
agreements to arbitrate will be Of very
little service. The suggestion of an
agreement between England and the
United States to establish permanent
machinery for regulating their disputes
is, however, quite different. Nations in
whom the same racial characteristics
are to be found, who are influenced by
the same ideas, who talk the same Ian
guaSe, read the same books and possess
the same political traditions, are capable
of making an agreement to settle dis
putes by arbitration reality.
Again, an agreement not to fight till
the question in dispute has been referred
to Il body exercising the functions of a
court OF law is step in the direction of
that alliance between the United States
and England which, we trust and be-
lieve. is the destiny of the two countries
If we begin by an acknowledgment that
we are not i'll the position of foreign
powers. e., liable to war at any mo-
ment-we may soon rise to q definite
race alliance, and lastly to that declara-
ton of Il common citizenship which would
prevent any Englishman from being an
alien in America or any American being
an alien in England and would heal the
breach in the unity of the race caused by
the folly of George III and his ministers

inc perfect place 70 pweil IN.

We had always been hunting for Il.
We had always felt sure that some
where, some day, we should find the
perfect place which was to combine the
charm Of the middle ages with the com
fort of the nineteenth century-the Al
bert Durer town which could be reached
in a railway train, with medieval streets
through which the dinner bell would
make pleasant sound, where there
would be plenty Of picturesque dirt in
other peoples houses, plenty Of fresh
water and clean rooms in our own hotel
Perhaps this is bourgeois idea. But
then that is our affair.
Eight years of wandering had brought
us no closer to our undiscovered coun-
try, when, last summer, as we were

why should we tell the name? Whv

many places in our day; we have, in our
recklessness, presented the painter, tho
illustrator, the magazine writer with
more motives than they can exhaust in
q generation; we have, by our enter
prise, developed the cycling trade to an
incalculable extent, and by our praise
made the fortune of half the hotel keep
ers in Provence. And the result for us?
Not cyclemanufacturer would give us

AFRO Anim;ai. Erer "nored2i

Surely mankind has sufficient faults
Dnd failings Of its own to answer for
without being called upon to assume the
responsibility of animal failings as well.
An American author has discovered that
domestic animals, such as cats or dogs,
nre not only subject to ennui, but also
display their feelings under that inf1ic-
ton after very much the same fashion
ms their human friends, fact which no
one who has kept tame animals will be
tempted to deny.
But from this fact our contemporary,
Tile News, leaps to perfectly unwar-
rantable conclusion and boldly asserts
that ours is the fault, that mankind has
inoculated the beast creation with it's
own particular disease and that it is
civilization (which produces ennui, not
only in men, women and children, but
even in cats and dogs" eve may we'll
blush," it continues, "when we think
how man has demoralized the dog. We
have taught the dog to be bored. We
have corrupted him by our society"
And again, "Ennui is one of mans many
inventions, but he has taught the I'M
profitable vice to the domestic or at least
to the household animals-pupils only
too apt in evil"
Was ever so monstrous O charge lev
eled against our innocence! The next
thing we shall be told is that we are the
cause that dogs do bark and bite and
that whatever may have been the NOR
ality of DR.. Watts his natural history
is no better than his poetry. The News,
if it is so assured of the demoralizing in
fiuence it has exercised upon dogs, is
welcome to blush for itself. We prefer
to maintain that dogs sorrow under
boredom for the same simple reason that
they delight to bark and bite, "for It's
their nature to."-London Spectator.
