Coffee as a DiSinfectant.

"A year ago Russian bacteriologist
made some experiments for the pur-
pose of determining the influence of
coffee in destroying disease germs. The
conclusion was that coffee is to some
degree a disinfectant. The disinfec-
tant properties of coffee depend, how
ever, not upon the active principle of
coffee, or caffein, which it contains, but
upon the substances developed in the
roasting of the coffee. It was found
that the various substitutes for coffee
are also germicides, and, like it, de-
velop disinfectant properties during
the roasting process. A watery infus-
ion of either coffee or its substitutes
was found to be capable of killing the
germs of cholera within a few hours,
and of typhoid fever in a somewhat
longer time. The conclusion should
not, however, be drawn from these
statements that either coffee or its sub
stitutes are to be considered of value
on account of their slight antiseptic
properties, as too long time is requir-
ed for the destruction of germs by
them.-MOdern Medicine.

POLITICAL FUTURE.

Tn, are certain things which the
conn. . . 'ty must not lose sight of dur
ms IN, period between the Legisla-
lures First and foremost is the mat
ter OF annexation. We shall never
have full stability until we are an
nexed. The Government can and does
hold its own. internally, but it is open
to external influences that it cannot
resist Annexation would give us
what the merchants and mechanics of
the country need-perfecF stability
and absolute security.
Then it should not be forgotten that
the whole country should work for
graduated income tax. This tax
will be fought at the polls next year.
but it is the poor mans tax, and if he
does not carry his members into the
House of Representative with flying
colors upon this plank, the average
voter deserves TO get left.
Lastly, it must also be remembered
that work should be put in to reduce
the personal taxes. Five dollars
ahead for every able-bodied man in
this country is far too much.
These topics should be well cOnsid-
cred during the next eighteen months,
and citizens should make themselves
thoroughly acquainted with them.

A discussion Of the effects Of the
bicycle boom on trade that has been
carried on in the New York papers
has brought out many interesting
facts. The New York Journal Of
Commerce estimates that the bicycle
has caused a loss in other trades of
SIP. SOC. 900 a year. 1t has been gen
orally known that the livery business
and carriage trade has been seriously
hurt. but it has lately been brought
out that the demand for pianos, jew
eIry and confectionery has fallen OF
materially. It is stated that less
whisky and lager are drunk, fewer
cigars smoked and fewer books sold
on account of bicycles. The theatre
companies also maintain that they are
obliged to close much earlier in the
season because their patrons prefer
wheeling to seeing plays. The Journal
estimates that fully $75,OOO,00 will be
expended for bicycles in the United
States this year, and thus diverted
from other lines of trade.
