Grip Germs in Phones.

Grip Germs in Phones.
If scientists are to be believed,
the telephone is a constant menace
to the public health and the abode
of grip germs. This is what DR..
e. John Kaufman, of New York
City, says:
"More cases Of grip have been
coughed and sneezed into the tele-
phone to be contracted by the
next user of the instrument, than
have proceeded from all other
sources combined.
"There has been much specula-
ton as to the causes of the recent
epidemic of grip, which has not
yet spent it's force. Together
with one of the psychologists of
the city, 1 have visited several Of
the finest hotels, also a number of
the public telephone exchanges.
| mounted some clean cotton on
a piece of wire and rubbed it
around the inside of the mouth
piece of tile telephone receiver.
] made a lot of these exhibits,
placing each one in a small bottle
and carefully corking itso that
there could be nothing on the
cotton but the scrapings from the
receivers. Then the cotton balls
we're taken in hand by the bacteri-
ologist.
The result was we found a multi
tude of the grip bacilli.
"There are $4,000 telephones at
least, in New York, and I figure
that there have been from $4,000
to 100000 cases of grip. 1 will tell
you why there has not been more
contagious from this source. It
does not follow that everyone
that uses the telephone is suscept-
ible to the grip, and the same is
true of all diseases proceeding
from germs.
'There should be reform now
that it is certain that the grip at
least is contracted from telephone
receivers, and the receivers should
be kept clean"

= The recent protest Of j. Ster-

the cutting of Christmas trees is
warmly commended in the weet.
In his protest he said: "The
trees selected for slaughter on
this anniversary are always the
straightest and most symmetrical.
There we're last year more than
2O0,000,O00 Christmas trees cut
down and put on the market. The
absurdity of celebrating the birth
of the Savior of the world by q

born is obvious to every thinking

God Will Sprinkle Sunshine.

If you should see fellow-man witt troubles flag unfurled, And looking like he didn't have q friend in all the world. to mp and slap him on the back and holler, How d you do" And grasp his hand so warm he II know he has a friend in you. Then ax him whats a-hurtin him, an laugh his cares away, And tell him that the darkest night is justhefore the day, Don't talk in graveyard palaver. but say it right out loud, That God will sprinkle sunshine Tn the trail of every cloud. This world at best is but hash of pleasure and of pain; Some days are bright and sunny, and some all sloshed with rain, And that's just how it ought to be, for when the clouds roll by We'll know just how to preciate the bright and smiling sky. So learn to take 1t as it comes, and don't sweat at the pores Because the Lords opinion doesn coincide with yours; But always keep rememberin', when cares your path enshrOud, That God has lots of sunshine to spill behind the cloud.

The Retort That Cut the Lawyer Pretty

An amusing incident occurred ip one of the courtrooms at the court. house. \ case was on 1 ial involving the right of the defendant to erect 8 fence between lis property and that of the plaintiff The defendant claimed that he wanted to build tbi; fence 10 keep his chickens out of his neighbor,s yard, and the plaintiff claimed that the fence would mar the beauty of his place.
 There were excellent lawyers on both sides and tie case was being stubbornly contested. It had already consumed nearly all the day when the wife of the plaintiff was placed on the stand The following examination was then conducted by the defend ants lawyer:
 q understand you claim that yor have very pretty place and that it is kept neat and clean? Is that sop
 "Yes, sir,"
 ''Now, l am told Chat you raised several Jersey cows on your place. l. that so?"
 'Yes, sir"
 And you think you can keep $ place neat and clean when you've got a lot of cattle running around loose do you?7
 
 'Yes, sir" was the reply.
 And I'm also told that you keey q couple of speckled ponies cut or that place. l suppose they do no' hinder you in your efforts to keep ii clean?"
 "No, sir"
 "Then you keep one other anima' on this place of yours-a dog, is il not?"
 "Two dogs and purp," was the reply.
 "rhem is mighty smart dogs, ain't they?'
 There was just the suspicion of s twinkle in the lawyers eve The fan defendant noted this, and sa> deliv cred seathing reply.

LIME JUICE.
Process ot Manufacturing This Extract Do Prevent pseemp9sitloa

1a tIeNtHl b~lSfii .99sttloa
 When Hines are freshly squeezed, the juice is always very turbid, owing to the presence of mueilagc and cX- ttractiye matter derived from the Geshy part of tbe fruit. This i5 what makes it necessary 10 clarify it. The same difficulty occurs in lemons, but the yield of juice from lemons Is much greater than that from Hines, indeed, the yield from lines is very small, and the freshly expressed juice al-
 ways contains large amount of pulp. This, however. on standing for few
 weeks, separates out, and a clear. .hcrrY-colored liquid (tho true lime juice) is obtained, and can either be siphoned or deeantcd off. If time is no object, then the process of natural settling may be observed economical ly, but even then it is probable that upon storage the clear, sherry=cal6rfd juice will get turbid, owing to the de- composition of mUciIaginous matt tors which may still be in suspension. There are two courses open; either treat the juice in the manner which we are about t7 describe, or else al- low it to stand for a few. weeks, and then treat the clear liquid which is obtained. using the same process in this ease also.
