Cleanliness as Disinfectant.


A noted physician and chemist declares
that the various disinfectants that are COM
monty used are not nearly as efficacious in
preventing disease as simple and absolute
cleanliness. "Let every vessel for water and
every sink be wiped off daily with cloth wet
with clean water and the cloth afterward
boiled" he says. "and it will prove an abso-
lutte preventive and destruction of all mi
crobes.
MANY people," he continued, ''ignorantly
believe that II they dilute a chloride or some
other disinfectant and pour a little daily down
the pipes they destroy all germs OF the dis
ease. 1t really has no effect whatever, and
the housemaid, with an old duster and wash
cloths, may scatter microbes in every direc-
tion.
''There is SO much to learn and unlearn
nowadays!' exclaimed an anxious mother,
'that my mind is like Penelope's web, which
is unraveled as fast as it is created. l no
sooner get one theory established than it is
declared to be quite a wrong idea, and have
to substitute another and it is frightful re-
sponsibility to feel that the health Of the

longer. Wherever went / only seemed to

and-oh, darling, you do really love me, don't
you?"
She flung her arms round his neck and
rained her kisses on him passionately. He
returned them with his own. and put his
arms round her again, and told her that he
loved her more than anybody or anything in
the world.
Then he pulled the long chair up to the fire.
and drew her on to his knee. She laid her
head against his shoulder, and his fingers
played lovingly with her soft, fair hair, while
the Pickering flames made varying ripples of
light and shadow on her delicate skin
For time there was silence. Now that she
had taken the irrevocable step great calm
lay upon her. and indeed her heart was too
full for words. Yet not for one moment did
she repent for what she had done. She had
weighed all that this step meant carefully be-
fore coming to her decision; she had consid.
cred her conduct in every possible aspect,
had hesitated long before she placed her hap
piness, her very existence, in this mans keep
ing; had tried SO far as she could to look at it
from the other man. her husbands point of
view, and from the worlds. But her mind

instead of temporary link between them.
Lasting? The word brought her thoughts
back to the present. After all. would it be
lasting? She knew it would not be so now.
Her husbands creed, she remembered. per-
mitted everything to the man, while for the
woman even one slip was the end of all
things. In few short months she would no
longer bear his name, the law would free him
from her. She felt glad for that; it would in
deed be a merciful release. and he-he would
then be free to make her his wife. Thank
heaven for that! There was still some happi-
ness in store for her.
She stole glance at her companion in the
freight. and her face grew smiling again.
After all. it was good to live She remem-
bered the day he first came into her existence.
He was an acquaintance OF her husbands,
and one night, coming to call for him, he had

dinner, had gone off to his club, forgetting
that he had promised his friend to talk over
some matter Of business with him that even

if any message had left for him, had seen
that she was evidently in distress, and with
infinite tact, treating her like the child that
at that time she really was, had talked to her
for an hour or more, telling her quaint stories
Of the places he had seen, for he had travelled
widely, and the people he knew, who were all
the people worth knowing.
Thenceforward their friendship progressed
apace, till out of friendship grew a stronger
feeling. She saw clearly that he had more
than mere liking for her, and realized with
bronzed traveller, not with the girlish credulity
which she had given her husband, but with
the full Hooded passion OF a woman who has

All About Kisses,

Some wag with plenty of time on his hands
has conceived the idea of hunting through the
works Of the prominent English and Ameri-
can authors for the purpose of gathering all
the adjectives with which they qualify the
word kiss.
The result Of his labor is that kisses can
be as follows: Cold, warm. icy, burning,
chilly, cool, loving, Indifferent, balsamic.
fragrant, blissful, passionate, aromatic, with
tears bedewed. long. soft. hasty. intoxicating,
assembling. delicious, pious. tender, beguil-
ing, hearty, distracted, frantic. fresh as the
morning, breathing fire, divine, satanic,
glad, sad, superficial, quiet, loud, fond, Grim

sweet, refreshing, embarrassed, shy, mute,
ravishing, holy, sacred, firm. trembling.
electrifying, ecstatic, hurried, faithless, mar
cotic, feverish, immoderate, lascivious, Ii
bidinous, sisterly, brotherly, and psradisaical.
The task seemed interminable, and he gave

From that moment she knew that there could
be only one end to this attachment. There
were no ties to keep her to her husband. her
love for him had died. and she had no child
to forge fresh link between them. He-the
other-was not, possibly. any worse than his
fellows; on the other hand. he was no better,
and so they had gradually drifted on, till to-
night worse than usual outbreak of temper
on the part OF her husband had driven her

'Tell me again, she said at last, finding her

''love you? Don't you know that 1 do?
Haven't you trusted yourself to me, sweet?
Listen. darling. You have been thinking these
last few minutes, have you not?"
She nodded, smiling.
'.Well, I have been thinking, too. And

which you will be able to come and see me,
without any one knowing anything about it,

She interrupted him, the tiniest of frowns
creaslng her smooth forehead.

one will know about-about it."
Every one know, DEAR" he answered in
bewilderment, 'every one know? You must

"Will know tomorrow, of course"
He stared at her in blank astonishment for
q moment, then almost harshly: s'Are you
mad? Do you know what you are saying?
Your husband must not, shall not know"
Even still she did not understand. "Don't

Presbyterian church of this city.
There were present over fifty dele

Every one present seemed to take a
ready part in the discharge of this
