Wall Paper and Candle Light.

Every one knows that when the
walls OF room are papered with a
light paper it looks much more cheer
ful, but we hardly realize the great
difference between dark and light pa
pering. A scientist has now
measured it in systematic way, and
has come to the following results
Suppose the room is convered with
black cloth, and equires 100 candles
to give it certain degree of light.
If vou take away the black cloth, and
paper, the room with dark brown
paper, 81 candles give the same
amount Of light. With blue paper
- candles will do; with fresh yellow
paint 90 candles give as much light,
and with clean deal-boarJ walls, so
candles a:e su 3. { cut. But II the
room be painted IN white. 10 candles
make it as light as 81 candles with
the dark drown surroundings. The
conclusion Is evident. Not only is it
bad for the eyes to have sudden CON
trast OF dark and liIht, but it Is also
In oh more expensive To light Il
candles whore two or three would be
sufficient

the-way People.
At the Department of Agriculture
IN Washington, hidden away in au
obscure corner, is an odd sort of ex-
hibit of queer foods eaten by out-of-
the-way people. There is loaf of
bread made from the roasted leaves
Of a plant allied to the century plant.
Another kind of bread is a dough OF
juniper berries. These are relished
by some tribes of Indians. while
others manufacture cakes out of diff
terent kinds OF bulbs. The prairie
Indians relish a dish OF wild turnips,
which civilized people would not be
likely TO enjoy at all. In the great
American desert the 'screw beans,'
which grow on mesquite e'bushes, are
utilized for food. Soap berries fur

Of pulverized crlckets, which are

likewise grasshoppers and even slugs.
These delicac es are cooked in a pit,

a Texas Doctor Experimenting with tbs
Saliva of a BIue-Gum Negress.
1t has long been belief among the
negroes that the bite of one of their
ace who has blue gums is about as
feadly as the bite Of mad COG or
attlesnake, says Brenham CTexas)
correspondent CT the Galveston News.
Few white people think this is any
thing more than mere superstition
and, while instances are recorded in
The newspapers every once in awhile
IF deaths resulting from bites in
1icted by blue-gum negroes, tie gen
.ral opinion is that the death was
lOt caused by the bite or else that
The blood Of the person bitten was in
sch condition that a wound of al
most any chara ter equally severe
would have produced Death. 1t is
lOt questioned, however, that the
bite Of human being-whether the
0lue-gum variety o, not-may in
.ome instances prove a severe injury
a case is reported from the Lott
tore neighbOrhood. a negro woman,
Ellen Toney, about so years OF age,
was bitten about a week ago by her
laughter-in-law. The wound was on
the little finger, and was not at all
iIugerouS in appearance, but in a
lay or two the hand began to swell
and the swelling was accompanied
by great pain. 1t soon spread to the
entire arm, which puffed up to twice
is normal size. a physician was
called in and he prescribed such REM
edies as the case seemed to demand,
out lockjaw set in and lasted about
twenty hours. Finally the swelling
began to abate, and the old woman
IS now considered on a fair road tC
recovery.
The Doctor learned that the
laughter-in-law was OF the blue.
gum variety, and examined her
mouth to see if it differed from that
of anybody else. He says the gums
are of a purplish blue mottled ap-
pearance, unlike those of the ordin-
ary negro. He is skeptical on the
subject of the bite of such a person
being more poisonous than that OF
anyone else, but says he is expert
menting with the virus or saliva
from this wOmau's mouth to see if
there is any truth in the belief OF
the negroes. The subject of his ex-
pertinent is a small dog, which he
inoculated with the virus, and he
says he is waiting for developments
with some degree OF interest.

1t seems that we can successfully
fight cholera with oranges and lem
Ons The Imperial health office Of
Berlin has issued an announcement
to the effect that oranges and lemons
are both fatal to the cholera bacillus.
Placed in contact with the cut sur
face of the fruit, the bacteria survive
but few hours. They remain active
for some time longer on the uniu-
jurcd rind of the fruit, but even then
they die within twcntY-four hours.
The destructive property as regards
the cholera bacteria is supposed TO
be due to the large amount OF acid
contained in those fruits In c0nse-
Qucncc Of this quality, the health
officer considers it unnecessary to
place any restrictions on the transit
and sale Of these fruits, even If it
should he aScertained that they come
from places where cholera Is prcyI-
lent 1t the time Not a single in
stance was EGtcd in which cholera
was disseminated by either oranges
OF lemons.
