COFFEE As 4 DIsINFECrANr.

Numerous experiments with roast
ed coffee prove that it is the most
powerful means not only for render
ing animal and vegetable eff1uvia in
nocuous, but OF actually destroying
them A room in which meat III an
advanced degree of decomposition
had been kept for some time was
instantly deprived of all smell on an
open coffee rOaster being carried
through it containing a pound of
coffee newly roasted. In another
room exposed to the eff1uvium oc-
casioned by the cleaning out of the
dung pit, so that sulphureted
hydrogen and ammonia in great
quantities could be chemically de-
tected, the stencil was completely re-
moved in half a minute on the en-
plOvment of three ounces of fresh
roasted coffee, while the other parts
of the house were prematurely clear
ed of the smell by being simply
traversed with the coffee rooster, al
though the cleansing of the dung pit
continued for several hours after.
The best mode of using the coffee as
a disinfectant is to dry the "a w bean,
pound in a mortar and then roast
the powder on moderately heated
iron plate until it assumes a dark
brown tint, when it is fit 10 use.
Then sprinkle it in sinks or cesspools,
or lay it on a plate in the room
which you wish to have purified.
Coffee acid or coffee oil acts more
readily in minute quantities.

NEWsBoYs ON THE CARS.

Opinions differ as to the policy adopted
by the street-car lines Of keeping news
boys out of their cars. Yet 1t is null
sance for a passenger to be unable to get
his newspaper when he is comfortably
seated on u car. Talk about It being
his business to secure a paper before he
boards the car? Humbug. He Is in too
great hurry generally to hunt up a
newsboy, who. like a policeman, Is sell
dom on hand when he IL really wanted.
What n man needs Is to get seated. re-
cover his breath and then buy his Even
ing Word" at his leisure.
There has long been talk about reach
ing some plan by which newspapers
can be served to passengers on the cars
without risking accidents and without
incommoding the passengers by the con-
slant incursion Of the persistent lads
and the consequent crushing Of toes

TIE A RBI rRAr1oN COMMISSION.

The President has appointed as good
a Commission of Arbitration under the
act "for settling controversies between
railroad corporations and other com
mon carriers engaged In Interstate
transportation of property or passen-
gers and their employees" as he could
have selected. His first choice fell on
ex-senator Lyman Trumbull. of Illinois,
and ex-Collector Daniel Magone. of New
York, but both declined to serve. The
appointments now are Judge Worthing-
ton, of Illinois, and John ID. Herman, or
New York, son Of ex-United states
Senator Francis Herman. and for some
wears a Railroad Commissioner OF this
State under the appointment of Gov.
Cleveland.
Both are we'll qualified for the duties
they will be called upon to perform. and
Mr.. Herman has had much experience
in dealing with railroad matters. Both
are liberal-minded men. well In sym

what will the Commission accomplish
or what real practical utility will arbi-
tration be until the decisions OF court
of arbitration are made as binding as
the decisions of a law court in all dis
