Science has b1en enriched Wy a med
ical discovery 10 important IN the domain
of therapeutics as chloroforln. laudanum
and quinine. The great theory of infec-
tion by bacillus forms requires. in order
to be fruitful of benefit TO mankind. the
discovery of a powerful germicide. In
carbolic acid. in corrosive sublimate and
in potassium %permanganate science has
made long strides in the direction Of
adequate antiseptics and bacillicides, but
these drugs all have their drawbacks.
Now, however. DIR. Worrall, noted
scientist, claims to have found among
the coal products disinfecting body ap-
parently superior 10 all previous ones.
He has named it izal, and DR.. Klein,
after series Of exhaustive laboratory
experiments, is said to have found 1t 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-
ed, while DIR. Klein's experiments go to
prove that, diluted with 200 parts water,
izal absolutely destroys the vitality OF
the microbes of diphtheria. scarlatina,

The Original Wedding Cake.

Our wedding cake is the remains Of q
custom whereby Roman bride held in
her left hand three wheat ears, and many
centuries later an English bride wore on
her head chaplet Of wheat. The at
tendant girls threw corn, either In grains
or in small bits of biscuit or cake, upon
the heads Of the newly married couple,
and the gueyts picked mp the pieces and
ate them. Such was the beginning Of
the wedding cake, which did not come
into general use until the eighteenth
century and was then composed Of solid
blocks, laid together and iced all over
with sugar, 30 that when the outer crust
was broken over the brides head the
cakes inside fell on the floor, and they
were then distributed among the COM
pany.-New York Sun.

Asbestus is mineral fiber of the horn

from Greek word which signifies ''in-

familiar with it, uses and the modes Of

alluded to 1t az vegetable production.
II was used in all their funeral rites, but
particularly where cremation was prao-
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 incineration Of the remains. The

was taken by grandee Of Madrid to see

In, he sank on his knees and refused to
