Lovers of perfume will be
pleased to know that an emil
nent French specialist has dis
covered that many of these
fragrant essences are not only
harmless, but of actual value
to health. He demonstrates
this fact by the result of ex-
periments whereby he exposed
a number of disease microbes to
the action of various essential
oils distilled from flowers and
plants. Bitter almond, thyme,
lemon, and mint proved exceed
ingly killing, while lavender
ranked higher than either euca-
lyptus, turpentine or camphor.

ment of Roger & Gallet's famous

Wind Pulled His Tooth.

One of the queerest FRANKS of the
wind during the cyclone the other
night happened at the corner of Sixth
ana JefferSoE streets John Gazzollo,
the night engineer ut the City Hall,
has been suffering from toothache for
some time, and has been telling his
friends that he intended to have the
acher jerked out rs soon as he could
screw his courage up to the point. On
the night in question his tooth ached
so badly that he could hardly hear the
wind blow. He was desperate. Bor-
rowing Il gum overcoat from one Of
the policemen about the police station,
he started just as Il funnel-shaped
cloud was %scudding along. He reached
the corner of Sixth and Jefferson
streets and vas about to turf the cor
ner, when a gust of wind struck him
and lifted him off his feet. He might
have been carried over to the court
house yard and drowned in the foun-
tain but for his presence of mind in
grabbing the iron railing that runs
around the steps leading down into the
basement. He chung there for n mo-
ment with the wind right in. his face.
He turned his head, and as he did so
there was a sudden jerk that dislodged
his hat and fairly unraveled his neck
tie. Then there was n lull. and when
he crept back into the station-houSc
he made the startling discovery that
the aching tooth was gone. The wind
had pulled it. He tells the story him
self, and if it is not true Mr.. Gazzollo
has grossly deceived me.-Louisville

Swallowed the east wind?" said the
squire. why so, Samson?'
why how else could he go on as he
do? From morning to night, from one
weeks end to another, it's nothing bat

First it's the dreadful accidents, the
fires and the murders; then it's the fe-
yer and riots in Ireland; the paupers,
the jails and the strikes. Everything's
going wrong, and there's no good news
anywhere.

would be Il different man in n month.

Where Do Old Pianos Go?

What becomes of the old pianos?
They seem to disappear from the world
almost as mysterlously as pins. Per-
haps, considering their size, the fact
that the streets are not blocked with
cast-off pianos is more curious than
that the face of the earth fails to be
overlaid with pins. An experienced
dealer says he has known of but three
that were cut up for frewood. Yet
they often sell for little more than so
much pine would bring. 1t is the Gus
tom of most houses to take old instru-
ments and allow something for them.
The deduction is counted as almost
dead loss, but 1t brings trade. The
old Instruments are refittcd and pol
ished up, however, and sold again-in
many Instances becoming the property
Of clearinghouse keepers. Boarding
houses are the chief refuge of second
hand pianos. Then they are sold by
small dealers to country people all over
the land. Men that go into that branch
Of the trade can get pianos pretty
cheap, for the first-class houses some
times get so overloaded with them that
they are almost willing to pay to have
them carried away.-Boston Traveller.
