Baths and Bacilli.


The microbe and the bacillus are Of more
terror to the modern housekeeper than dust
by the pound used to be to the old fash
toned one, and rule for disinfecting sinks
is more appreciated in these days than a
whole volume of recipes for angel cake was
in the days of old. Hence every woman
will be more than interested in-she will
be profoundly grateful for-the suggestions
herein made.
In the ideal house of course drains may
be laid and ventilators adjusted so that not
even the most stubborn of maids can cir
cumvent their use. But most houses still
lack little of the ideal. Bathrooms are
not done in pale green tiles and white
marble, but zinc and plaster still hold their
own. To make these endurable, enamel
and vanished paper must be used. The
moment the inside of the bath becomes
stained and Clipped it should be re-enam-
eled by an expert. The bath should be
scrubbed first with strong soda and water,
and then the first coat of enamel should be
applied, of course when the bath itself is
absolutely and entirely dry. Then, after
two days, another coat should be given,
then, after "a hours more, the bath should
be filed with cold water, which should be
left in it for another similar space; then
give one more coat of enamel and allow it
to thoroughly dry and harden, and you will
have an absolutely perfect 'job" and one
any maid or boy could manage quite well.
Vanished paper is the best substitute
for tiled walls yet known to lean purtes.
But even when the best sort of materials
have been used only the best sort of care
will insure really clean and sweet room.
The moment bathroom is left the second
housemaid should go into it, dry the bath
thoroughly, hang up the blankets on long
brass rail provided for the purpose, and she
should also take back the towels to the
room of that individual who has had the
bath, for of course these should be kept
distinct to each person, and no permanent
towel or piece of soap should ever be al
lowed there. She should then open the
window top and bottom to allow all steam
to escape. No draperies are allowed in the
perfect bathroom, but the windows are
filed with cathedral glass in loaded squares,
or, better still, in less formal pattern.
Kitchen pipes and drains seldom need
the attention of plumber, but do need
the daily use of hot water and soda. And
all houses in.which pipes are not arranged
according to the most scientific and sani-
tary of principles should have the windows
of every room partly open all the time.
Fresh air is the deadliest foe Of the baeil-
lus, and three inches open at the top of a
window in every room may prevent ty-
phoid fever. s

Let me give you my dying advice. says
Rufus Choate in the Green Bag. "Never
cross examine woman. 1t is of no use.
They cannot disintegrate the story they
have once told. They cannot eliminate
the part that is for you from that which
is against you. They can neither combine
nor shade nor qualify. They go for the
whole thing, and the moment you begin to
cross-examine one of them, instead of being
bitten by single rattlesnake you are bit
ten by whole barrelful. I never, except
in case absolutely desperate, dared to
cross-examine woman"

Young men who are everything by
turns and nothing long" may posses even
more than average ability, but they never
make good business men. As trolling
stones gather no moss, neither do these
shifty creatures add any power to their
character or wealth to store. They are
respectable tramps, always on the move
from one vocation to another, often waiting
like Micawber for something to turn NJ"

COUNTING THE PAIRS.
MIR. Hill Raises nm Uncomfortable
Point in the Senate.

The Vice President was extricated from
the necessity Of making a vastly important
ruling in the Senate yesterday by the time
ly motion of Senator Cockrell for an ex-
ecutive session. During the debate on the
urgent deficiency bill, after the speech by
Mr. Mitchell, Mr.. Chandler moved to ad-
journ and called for the yeas and nays.
which resulted in a vote of 9 to q. AS this
was not a quorum, call Of the Senate was
ordered and showed the presence of forty
three members. Then Mr.. Hill caused
trouble by inquiring the number Of pairs.
There had been nine pairs noted, and the
Senator from New York made the point that
il these pairs had been entered on the jour
nal, a quorum would have been present on
the vote to adjourn. Mr. Chandler was
beligerent and tried to choke Mr.. Hin eff,
but Mr.. Hill would not be choked.
Il object to the discussion" Mr. Chandler
interposed. There is no debatable question
before the Senate"
Everything is debatable in this Senate"
said Mr.. Hill. Il make the parliamentary
point that as there were thrty-six Senators
voting and nine pairs announced by Sena-
tors present. that made quorum actually
present, and the Senate is entitled TO do
business under well-regulated rules that
have prevailed in other bodies and ought to
prevail here"
THE Senator from New York." said Mr..
gacity Of the late Speaker of the House of
Representatives.; that is all
1.-The point of order" added Mr.. Butler,
calls attention to the additional fact that
our friends on the other side are filibuster-
ing very industricusly against the tariff
bill"
We will take the responsibility of that, "
said Mr.. Gallinger.
New York" said Mr.. Quay, whether he
wishes to suggest that the Reed rule be
enforced?'
Il do not eecognize the fact" Mr.. Hill
replied, that Mr.. Reed has any monopoly
on a simple. plain rule like this. which
can be adopted by any body, and which
can be recognized as existing on the or
binary principles Of parliamentary law"
Does the Senator from New York" Mr..
Chandler asked, tauntingly. claim the
rule as his own by right of discovery"
Il decline to answer the question" Mr..
Hill good-humoredly replied
After some further bantering, the Vice
President was about to rule on the par
liamentary point, when Mr.. Cockrell inter
posed with motion to proceed to execu-
tive business. which was agreed to-
The absence of a quorum being suggested.
call of the Senate showed the improbabi
ty Of getting one. and the Senate adjourned
the only thing done being the confirmation
Of Homer Reed, to be postmaster at Kansas
City, which was permitted to go through by
consent at Mr.. Vests request. 1t was also
agreed that the Chinese treaty should be
taken up for consideration Tuesday after
noon of next week.

No European town has been more
conspicuously improved in recent
years than Sofia. the capital of Bull
garia. a series of splendid boule
wards has been cut through the mass
of old narrow streets and Turkish
houses. one ~encircling the city. while
the others run across it in various di-
rections, and a still more spacious
avenue, 1877 feet wide and set with
six rows of trees, leads from the cen
ter of the town to the railway sta
ton. while another, called the Boule-
ward Stambuloff, runs from the same
point to the new park. This park is
very large and is said to be well
planted. A great public garden has
also been formed in the middle of the
town, with smaller gardens at vari-
ous points, and a nursery covering
100 acres has been established in the
suburbs, where plants will be grown
for the public grounds and will also
b sold to private purchasers.-Gar
