NEW YORK, March 9.-The trans
atlantic steamship companies have in
creased their rates for tn I'd class or
steerage prepaid tickets. The German
lines have fixed the new rate at $50. so
from Bremen or Hamburg. The other
lines are in proportion and dere"t on
tirely on the port Of embarkatiun. 4h.s
is the highest figure ever reached. vet
eran steamsh p men say. One Of the
steamship agents said: There are
several reasons'for the move One is
that tbs will in all probability be a
record breaking year for third-class
business. The steamship lines will
have more demands for steerage room
than they can possibly handle. An
other reason is that the restrictions
placed on immigration, the 81 head tax
which we have to pay the government,
coupled with the fact that w are
forced to return many at our own ex.
pense, has made the raEsI ortation Of
Immigrants improbable at the old
rate"

There is a number of papers in this
country which have a large circulation
that are controlled by English capital
lists, and is it to be wondered at that the
teachings of these papers is decidedly
for a gold standards Their arguments,
though, lack substance, and to sum itall
up they make no argument, unless vile
epithets, such as perfdy, liars, dema-
gogues, fools, blatherskites, etc and
such sayings as SO cent dollars, cheap
money, etc, could be called an argu-
ment.
The subject I am writing on is mex
haustive. The sum and substance OF
all articles written in behalf of the PEG,
pie on the money question, is the re-
mo~netization of silver and the free
con8ge at a ratio of Is to 1. A parity
maintained between gold and silver by
laws which shall recognize one as being

N. villou Of Paris has devised Z
method for disinfecting the siclroom by
perfumes. He prepares special sacheta
capable Of diffusing the perfume with
which they are charged In any kind Of
. receptacle. AL that Is needed il to
place two Of these sachets in . recep-
tacle containing little water.
The perfume (essence Of violet, rose,
Jasmine, etc. is mixed with oxalosac-
charic acid and inclosed in sachet that
iscolored white. A second, colored blue,
contains dry bicarbonate Of soda These
substances mix when the sachets are
soaked in water, hberating carbonic
acid gas, which diffuses the perfume
around the room. Sachets with oxygen
- basin can be prepared by placing
powdered permanganate Of potash In
one and binoxide Of barytum In the
other.
The medical writer says:
The process can be applied either In
therapeutics or hygiene. The sachet has
merely to be treated with medical es-
sences or any volatile substance to set
