sMany years ago person was sick OF
smallpox in farm house in the country
town of Groton, and after the patient
recovered the dwelling was fumigated
and repapcred. Ira Chester and family
now dwell IN the house. The paper was
removed q week or so ago. and presently
Mr.. Chester's daughter was stricken with
smallpox IN the opinion of the ply
stefan the germs of the disease were
dormant in the walls of the room."
The above clipping from the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER makes good the claims Of SAM
tarians, that all disease germs ind hid
ing place in wall paper, with its vegetable
paste to hold it on the wall, and its
animal glue 20 hold its colors; that
these, to say the least, are not the
best materials with which to cover
so much space around US as the walls in
which we live and sleep, and that paper
and glue are great absorben1s of mois-
ture, of which every person throws of
a certain number of ounces in exhala-
tons every day. and that such decaying
material as glue and paste gives off de-
leterious gases in such small quantities
that we do not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where q
number of layers of paper have been
pasted upon each other.
Sanitarians claim that these conditions
have mole to do with our i'll health than
we are aware of; that such a state of
things in the room in which we live af-
fects us more Tor better or worse than
does change Of climate; that it would
be cheaper, at least, to try change of
room or one coated with some monde
caying material, before going to the ex
pense and trouble of change of climate.

Boiling Water in an Envelope.

''Ny wife and l." says travelling
man. ''were once in a hotel where we
couldn't get any boiling water. After
we had discussed the situation my wife
asked me if had an envelope in my
satchel. got one out, when she told
me to fill it with water and hold it over
the gas jet. l hesitated, but finally did
it, and expected to see the envelope
blaze up every moment. But it didn't
blaze. The envelope took on little
SCOT but that was all. The water boiled
in time, and the envelope was as good as
ever when the experiment was at an end.

Red Clay Region Of Texas.

In the vast "red clay" region of Texas
and Southern Kansas, where all the
landscape is of a brilliau: red color, the
strata composing the hills are interlsid
With thicknesses of gypsum, which look
ike white sugar. This is sulphate OF
inc, whereas chalk is carbonate of lime.
By driving the water out of it plaster of
paris is made. From the same material
new SOFT of wall plaster is manufAc-
:ured. For both Of these purposes the
fluff is largely mined, as we'll as TO pro

which most of the Exposition buildings
1t Chicago are constructed.
So-called "chalk" school crayons are
made out of the same substance, and
also jewelry and other ornamental arti-
lies. These gypsum beds were deposit
ed on the bottom of the great inland
lea at a period long previous to the
chalk forming epoch. They are com
posed OF lime derived directly from the

If YOu Would Live.

If your name is to live at all, it is so
much more to have it live in peoples
hearts than only in their brains, writes
Oliver Wendell Holmes. l don't know
that ones eyes fill with tears when he
thinks of the famous inventor of logar-
ithms, but song of Burns's or hymn
of Charles Wesley's goes straight to your
heart, and you can't help loving both of
them, sinner as we'll as saint. The
works OF other men live, but their per-
sonality dies out of their labors; the
poet who reproduces himself in his crea-
ticn, as no other artist does or can, goes
down TO posterity with all his personal
ity blended with whatever is imperish-
able in his song.

This almanac is printed at Pekin, and is

past the development of the upper part
