The "Smeilin. Cure"

Interesting experiments with the
doors of herbs have from time to time
been made, and it has been found that
many species of microbes are easily de-
stroyed by various smells. The odor Of
cloves has been known to destroy mi
crobcs in thirty-fiye minutes; cinna-
mon Will kill some species in twelve
minutes; thyme in thirty-fye. In for
ty-fve minutes common wild verbena
is found effective, while the odor of
mint has destroyed various forms Of
microbes in ffty-dye minutes, and it
is recorded as the most effective of all
odors as an antiseptio. 1t is now be-
lieved that herbs which have been
found in Egyptian mummies were
placed on the bodies more for their an
tiseptic properties than than as mere
ornaments or objects of sentiment.

Ia beautiful town. but its street car

through the village up to the pleafant
park with which the state has sur

is a walk of considerable length from
the gate of the grounds to the build
ing, and Helen was to encounter a
melancholy sight. AS she went along
the serpentine path a procession came
toward her. There must have been a
hundred men in it and they moved
slowly and most of them walked with
bowed heads Their feet appeared to
press the earth heavily. At first Helen
thought it must be funeral process
sion, but a moment later she perceived
that it was something more Distress
ing. 1t was the walk of those who
had survived their own DEATH In
other words, it was a body of insane
patients, exercising the bodies that
held their perished mind. Helen shrank
passed her. Some of them looked at
her curously, or with lack luster gaze,
or wistfully. A sudden appreciation
OF her own youth and health and SAN
1ty came over her and made her all the
more pitiful toward these unfortunates.
The procession had passed, and she

her. None of the rest locked around.
The attendants had not noticed his de-
sertion, and his steps On the sward
made no sound. He came with a
rapid, gliding step toward Helen, show
ing his teeth in a broad smile. Helen
decided that however impertinent his
intentions might be at least he was in
good humor. This was consoling, but
it did not keep her hands from turning
cold with nervous dread.
AS he approached he lifted his hat
with courtly air. It was evident that
the poor wretch had once been gen
tleman, but even the most gentleman
ly OF lunatiCS was not companion to
choose, and Helen moved behind low
lilac bush. She felt that she was white
and that her eyes were Wide-stretched,
but she tried not to show her alarm.
Confidence, she had always heard, was
needed in dealing with the insane. The
man moved more cautiously and fixed
an undertaking gaze upon Helen.

She would have liked to have ex-

perhaps it was as well that he thought
otherwise. She would tell him the

understand. All, what pity that such

Experience of a Mail Clerk Who Had
Work He Couldn't Do In the Dark.
Il noticed in the paper the other
day" observed an old railway postal
clerk, the story of how the captain
OF the little gasoline boat that left
here for ny the Missouri had to come
back overland for 40 miles for q re-
pair that cost him only 10 cents, but
which was Just as necessary as if it
cost the price Of the whole engine.
recalled to my mind an experience |
once had on the run between here and
Missouri Valley, on the Sioux City &
Pacific illustrating how much may
hang upon something ordinarily quite
insignificant. Between Whiting and
OnaWa one night gust of wind blew
out every lamp in the mail car which,
of course, made ii impossible for me
to work, and ! had considerable TO do
yet to tie up OnaWa's mail. | put my
hand into my pocket to get a match,
but couldn't find any. Something had
to be done quickly, and all there was
left for he to do was to pull the bell
cord and signal the engineer to stop.
The conductor, brakeman, and some
Of the passengers came running to the
head of the train to learn what was
the matter. The darkness in my car
suggested that perhaps there had been
a hold-up and robbery of the mail;
but when | called to the conductor to
give me a match it relieved his anX-
iety, but it did not entirely restore his
good humor. I lit my lamps again and
had my mail ready when we reached
CEawa. Since that time | am especial
ly careful to see that | have an ample
match supply. sioux City Journal.

Where the "MeasIy Pork Went To.

This amusing tale was recently told
to his class by Prof. Comstock of Cor
nell, in speaking of the trials of Scien-
fists. A professor of invertebrate zool~
ogy in sister university wanted to
get some trichinous pork for expert
ment The learned scientist went to
his butcher and asked him If he ever
got any measly pork. Sometimes"
the butcher cautiously answered, "but
I always throw it away" Well" said
the professor, 'the next time you have
any | wish you'd send me up some,"
meaning, of course, to his laboratory.
The butcher, although somewhat taken
aback, said that he would. Three
weeks passed, when the professor, grow
ing impatient, again visited the store.
Haven't you found any measly pork
YETI" why, yes" said the butcher.
II sent up two pounds week ago." A
sickly grin broke over the professors
face. Where did you send it," why,
to the house, of course" said the
butcher.
