Hvgienic Use of Perfumes.

Those OF us who are fond of perfumes, yet
often have to be guided in their use by the
dictates of fashion, will henceforth have
most excellent excuse for using them as lib
orally as we may fancy. French chemist
has been speaking strongly in their favor, and
specially commends those odors which are
not only sweet but strong, for he has dis
covered in them valuable antiseptic qualities
There are certain oils and essences employed
TO make every kind OF perfume, whether it be
violet or rose or jasmine, and, according to
the amount used in particular essences. so do
they become genuine disinfectants. 1t is dis
tinctly pleasant to know that typhoid and in
huenza may be kept at bay by a liberal use of
fragrant distilments, and as the Medical Press
urges their free use this winter, even the most
puritanically minded may be inclined to make
the use of incense general in churches. Colds
and influenza are spread to an alarming ex-
tent in places of worship, but bacilli would
evidently stand a small chance in clouds of
incense

GOOD FARMERS WANTED.
Unskilled Labor Not in Demand in Liberia
Saws the CoIouI1ntion Socjo.,

SAYS the Colonization Society.
Tho seventy-eighth annual report of the
American Colonization Society has been pre-
pared by Secretary j Ormond Wilson. and
will soon be printed and promulgated.
The officers OF the association are: Right
Rev. Henry c. Potter, D. D., president; J.
Ormond Wilson, secretary: Reginald FendaI.
Rev. Byron Sunderland, chairman of the
executive COMMITTEES.
The report will state that ''the concurrent
testimony of the best informed men in Liberia
is to the effect that only young, hardy. intel
Hgent, and enterprising emigrants are now
wanted. There arc thousands of natives and
others already there &c perform any ordinary
unskIlled labor that is required and who
stand ready to work for a compensation of a
few cents a day. There is no demand for
services in the menial employments. so largely
sought for and obtained by negroes In the
cities and larger towns OF this country. The
emigrant that Liberia wants must be able to
take the twenty-five acres of wild land which
the government will give him, clear it. build
himself a cabin or cottage, plant his vege-
tables, cereals. and coffee trees. and provide
himself with fowls and domestic animals
The applications of colored men, on file at
the soclety's rooms, who desire to emigrate TO
Liberia number many thousands aud the list
is constantly swelling. "A majority Of these -
continues the report, 'are both ilIiterate aud
impecunious, and in most cases it may well be
doubted whether emigration would improve
the condition of either themselves or Liberia -
The society holds in trust funds amounting
to 81, 1000, the annual income from which is
to be applied to educational purposes in
Liberia.
Q A party of negroes from Georgia. mostly
agriculturalists, will sail from New York for
Liberia in a few days at the expense of the
society. In round numbers about 1000
persons have been settled in the ''BIack Re-
public" by the American Colonization Soci-
ETY. since its organization, seyenty-eight years
ago.

Smokers Crnmn.

Writer'S cramp is sufficiently well known,
but it is only in countries in which the use of
the cigarette displaces all other forms Of en-
joying the "weed" that smokers cramp is
heard Of.
This affection is common enough in Spain,
Notwithstanding that the Spaniard is so OK
pert that he can roll a cigarette with a single
movement Of the hand. It is now finding It's
way into France, where the government to-
bacco is hot IN pipe, but tolerable TO the
taste when inclosed in rice paper.
II appears, however, that the complaint did
not make its advent here until the state
assented to the sale of cigarettes made by
hand.
The persons who are now suffering from
this painful form of cramp are the workgirls
who get their living by rolling cigarettes. In
this connection it may be noted that the So

break the slide by seraping the feet along the
walls
Suppose the fire breaks out from win

then what?'
1.-The only thing is to swing close 10 the
wall until the heat is too intense. then give

feet from the wall; the momentum Will send
the body flying out into space. clear of the
flames; then slide just as fast as rope and
gravitation will take you. even if the hands
are cut. 1t is the only safe measure. There
Is no time to take any other precaution.
AN IMPROVED ESCAPE.
Capt. McAdam, however, does not approve
of the plain rope. OF course. the iron fire es-
cape is every hreman's preference. if it is
free, but sometimes it supports a mob that is
equally dangerous. Again. certain occupants
are cut off from 1t by fire. so next 70 this
comes what is known to fremen as the Viii
son escape. This is also a rope. but it is at
tached 10 an iron pulley. which IN IN Is
fastened to a hook in the window One end
OF the rope Is thrown to the ground, the other
has small loop which can be quickly pulled
to tit the body; it is slipped under the arms
and the body lowered. No holding on IS
necessary, for it is the primitive science of a
bucket on pulley line going down well.
The rope goes around several small wheels
inside the pulley, which materially check
the run of the rope, limiting it TO ten feet in
ten seconds The moose can't slip of the
body; the wheels must go round as long as
the weight is there, and, to quote the captain,
''Kick and noller as she will, she's bound to
come down.
A number of people can be saved by one
pulley. for, as one touches the ground an
other can pull it up aud use it. \ child can
be lowered in one with ease, even to an in
fant, for f1remen always stand ready to catch
each person as they come down.
These escapes are now fashioned in small
sizes for travellers. They are easily laid in the
trunk, costing only So.
LITTLE THINGS TO REMEMBER.
''In case of being caught by the fire, cap
tain, what is the best thing to do? Pur a wet
blanket around yourself and run throuhg it?"
Theoretically that is flne," he answered,
but remember thar it takes buckets of water
to soak blanket. and if there is not a bath
tub to accomplish this, no few pitchers are
adequate. So, next best is to wrap the head
up in coat or anything wooden. This keeps
out the fire and not the air from the lungs,
| and the greater danger comes from the
former being inhaled"
SHOULD the smoke commence to fill the
room and you want to crawl to another part
OF the building, drop on hands and knees and
crawl as close to the floor as possible, for the
| smoke goes first to the top and to the floor
last, so that much time is secured. If all es-
cape seems cut off, put on wooden clothes, hold
| piece OF flannel over the mouth and nose,
stand at the most prominent window and call
for help. A fireman will speedily come by
ways you never thought of and deliver you. "

SOME RULES FOR GUIDANCE
They Are Given By an Expert and Can Be

vice to Women Who Become Demorallzed
at the Sight of Conhagration.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-''Wrap the rope around
the body always put one hand below and one
hand above on the rope, then slide,'' was the
advice of Capt. McAdam in reply to my query
OF how to get out of burning building.
The question was provoked by seeing
number of blue-coated nremen go speeding
down a rope suspended from the sixth story
of building. They were testing fire escapes,
and their ease and confidence made me won
der why some OF this Ievel-headedness
couldn't be impaired to women-or men
either, for that matter-in cases of emer-
gency.
So went inside the great, admirably kept
drilling rooms and interviewed the captain.
''Well," he said, ''you can preacht to women
about the way to use ropes and fire escapes,
but when a person is scared out OF her senses
you can't expect her to do calmly what she
would tremble to do in time Of afety.
"Why, don't dare take raw man and
send him down from the sixth story for his
trial. II did he would never appear again.

''First. how TO use the ropes that are placed

window; then, sitting on the sill, place the
