1t has remained for a Cleveland
Judge to fix the hour at which
lovers evening call should end. Judge
Fielder, in answer to the query of an

\ WONDERFUL SAFE.
fhe NatiGy al Treasury of AMMAN Guarded
by Crocodiles.

A French traveller in AMMAN, Asia,
has returned with an account of a
singular national treasury-that of
the king of that country. If the story
Is true-and it presents no essential
lmprobability-the treasury is no
doubt destined to become famous.
In AMMAN iron safes of good resist
ing power are, of course, unknown,
and, unfortunately, adroit thieves are
not unknown. To defend his most
costly treasures the king had to resort
to some means in harmony with the
natural circumstances of his country.
Armed human guards he could not
fully trust. Animals do not steal
money, and nature had supplied him
with an animal which could not be
wheedled, nor killed except with a
good deal of trouble. The crocodile
is such an animal. The king would
have the crocodile guard his specie re-
serve.
Yet to avail himself of the services
of the crocodile, he must keep his
money in place where crocodiles are
at home. Nothing was more simple.
In the interior of his palace the king
caused to be constructed large tank
or basin, which he kept constantly
filed with water. Then he took sew
eral teak logs, which he had bored
with holes, and into these holes he
put his specie reserve of gold and sill
yer. The holes were closed up and
the logs put into the tank.
Then some crocodiles, of the larg-
est and fiercest description, were in
stalled in the tank, and maintained
there-not being fed, however, with
such superauity as to interfere with
their natural ferocity. Any person
who should undertake to reach the
treasure-laden logs would surely be
eaten by the crocodiles. And anyone
who should attemptto put the saurians
out of his way would have to make
noise enough to attract the attention
of the human guards and of the king
himself-for the king of AMMAN is re-
quired by custom to remain very close
ly in his palace.
At any rate, the royal crocodile
treasury has never been robbed-and
it cannot burn.

The use of soaps containing disin-
fectant of some kind has become so
general, says the Medical Press, that
observations on the practical value Of
such combinations cannot fail to be OF
interest. Dr. Reithoffer has recently
published the results of some expert
ments carried out by him with various
kinds of soap, having for object to de-
termine their value as microbicides
He used the ordinary mottled soap,
white almond soap perfumed with no.
trobenzine, and hard potash soap. He
found that these soaps were very in
imical to the cholera mivrobe, al per
ent solution killing them in a short
space of time, while per cent solu-
tion of the potash soap killed them in
FIVE minutes. We are, therefore, at
liberty to infer that, as in washing the
hands the strength of the soap solution
is never less than 5, and may go as
high as As, per cent this method Of
disinfecting the hands, as well as the
clothes, ETC., is fully trustworthy. Most
stronger solutions are required, how
ever, to destroy the bacili Of typhoid,
the coli-bacillus, etc., not less than 10
per cent being sufficient. None Of the
soaps experimental with appear to
have any effect on pyogenic microbe.
The practical result of these investiga-
tions is that it is always preferable
to use soap and water first Of all, rims
ing the hands in the disinfectant solu-
ton afterward. This is an important
point, which merits to be generally
mada known

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Preserving Oilcloths.

Oiloloth and linoleum are ruined
oftener in the cleaning than in any
other manner. Too hot water and the
free use of soap are the usual faults in
the treatment they receive. Left half
wiped, they looked very bright while
wet, but dingy and streaked when dry,
and the colors soon crack and peel of.
A soft flannel and lukewarm water are
the best things for general use upon
oilcloth, and you should make sure
that it is thoroughly dried after wash
ing. Equal parts of milk and warm
water used upon oilcloth brightens and
improves it.

One trouble with women-many OF
them at least-is that they fail to rec
ognize housekeeping as a business, to
be carried on as any business Is, with
dignity and method, says a writer in
the Boston Herald. They regard it as
mere drudgery, and they fret and
worry over ituntil both mind and body
are disturbed and the peace of the
household is marred by contention.
The mental atmosphere of the house,
motheris felt by every one, and she
cannot be out of sorts without putting
every other member of the family out.
She sets the note for the family har-
mony. If it is discordant, there is
sad jangling. 1t may be impossible to
keep from fretting and difficult task
to be always serene, but one can more
nearly approximate the latter condi-
ton and keep from the former by hav-
ing things so arranged about the house
that everything will go like the tradi-
tional "clockwork.
1t is no trivial matter, this, of plan
ming to become a good housekeeper.
Not only does the happiness OF wom-
an, as class, depend upon 1t, but
she also holds in her hands the COM
fort and happiness of many besides
herself. What her home is is very
largely what she makes it. Much do
mestic infelicity begins in careless
housekeeping and the disregard of
others comfort and welfare. Marriage
is partnership in which each mem
Der has special duties. The duty of
the one is to provide; of the other to
make wise use of this provision. If a
husband provides literally, he has
every right to expect the best use
made of his provisions, and this use
underlies all questions of domestic
economy and thrift Economy does
not mean meanness and stinginess; it
implies the best and wisest use of the
means that are given, and since it is
question that comes into every
phase of life, public and private, no
one need be ashamed to practise it.
