Use of Coffee as a Fumigant.

Coffee is an excellent fumigant, and
one whose pungent odor vanishes more
quickly than those. in ordinary use, -
Professor Marcus l. Epstein states. mo
matter what the diSagreeable odor in
the apartment may be, the coffee not
only drives it out, but absorbs it, de-
composes it, one might say, and re-
places it with the healthy odoT of COT
fee, which cannot be disagreeable to
even the most sensitive.
"A proof of the fact that the coffee
actually absorbs the other odor is
found when the coffee is first burnt. If
it simply drove the other odor from the
room, the smell of coffee around the
stove would be very strong, but it can
hardly be noticed for some minutes,
and then appears generally in all por-
items of the place being fumigated. To
use coffee as q fumigant, quantity
must be crushed and placed on top of
a very hot stove and allowed to burn,
either directly on the stove lids or in a
receptacle provided for the purpose. 1t
destroys all odors effectually, and it's
own odor will vanish in one-fifth the
time it takes to get rid of sulphur. Fur
thermore, one may move about in the
room at will without suffering any in
convenience. A test of the utility of
burning. coffee for this purpose was re-
Gently made
"A quantity of meat in a very bad
condition was placed in a room and al
lowed to remain there with the doors
and windows closed, for some hours.
When the room was opened the odor
was such that none could enter with
out protecting their nostrils but a quar-
ter of a pound of coffee poured on the
stove caused it to vanish completely
within less than five minutes, and three
minutes later the coffee odor had dis
appeared and the atmosphereswas fresh
and sweet. Globe Democrat, st. Louis.

Fads in Care Of Hair.

Recklessness and oId-fashiCned super
stition in peculiar mixture are shown in
the different fads and fancies women
| follow in caring for the hair. The gas
oline or dry shampoo" of late the
fashionable cause Of numerous explo-
sions in Paris is now frequently but
vainly requested at the Chicago hair
dressers.
1t is asked for by the woman who is
in a hurry, by the one who doesn't want
the wave taken out of her tresses. by
she is who afraid of taking cold, and by
the white-haired woman who approves
of the peculiar and beautiful blue white
tone and silky softness which every
professional hairdresser admits this
process gives to gray locks.
In contrast to this there is Chicago
establishment especially devoted to
clipping. smuggling, and such processes,
where fashionable customers come in
great nunbers at the new of the moon.
This is at the request of the proprietor,
who has imbued her customers with the
belief that the oils and coloring matter
flow upward a this time, whereas they
would go in the opposite direction and
devitalize the hair if it were clipped
during any other time of the month

The Sources of Japanese vigor.

(From the Medical Record.)
The Japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on
earth. They are strong mentally and
physically, and yet practically they
eat no meat at all. Tie diet which en-
ables them to develop such hardy
frames and such we'll balanced and
keen brains consists almost wholly of
rice, steamed or boiled, while the bet
ter to do add to this Spartan fare
fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit. For
beverages they use weak tea, without
sugar or milk, and pure water, alco-
holic stimulants being but rarely in
dulged in. Water is imbibed in what
we should consider prodigious quanu-
ties-by an Englishman, indeed, the
drinking of so much water would be
regarded as madness. Tie average
japanese individual swallows about a
gallon daily in divided doses.
The japanese recognize the beneficial
effect of flushing the system through
the medium Of the kidneys, and they
also cleanse the exterior of their
bodies to an extent undreamed of IN
Europe or in America.
Another-and perhaps this is the
usage on which the japanese lay the
greatest stress-is that deep, habitual,
forcible inhalation of fresh air is es-
Sential for the acquisition of strength,
and this method is sedulously prac-
ticed until it becomes a part Of their
nature.

were peculiar. On three sides of the
room was a continuous long desk and
a long bench behind it. A stove was
in the middle of the room, and just in
side the door was the teachers desk.
Several of his former pupils live at
Stella now, and they remember the
times when he used to come early in
the morning, build fires and ring the
! bell. The school district extended about
a mile in either direction, and the pu-
pills used to come On horseback, in
wagons and by other methods.
He used to tell the students stories
after school hours of his life on the
farm. One of them was of time when
he, in company with d young friend,
tackled the job of moving a big log
from a farm back near his old home.
Twenty oxen would have had hard
time in moving the log, and the boys
had to give the task up. On their way
home they passed by a new fence. Both
of the oxen started for the opening at
the gate. When they had passed
through the gate a good share of it
went with them. The boys fatePs set
tied the damages and the boys were
happy to get out of the scrape.

PORT ARTHUR'S LAST GASP
SAILORS ARE EVIDENTLY IN
THE TRENCHES.

n HEFOO, Aug. o. $3.50 a. ma junk
which left Lao III promontory the
night of Aug. Il has Just arrived
here. She reports that the Japanese have
succeeded in occupying Antszchan fort as
well as another fort. probably Etzshan,
about a mile sout Invest of Aniszchan.
They have driven the Russians from the
parade ground, which lies about two miles
north of the harbor: they have destroyed
two forts at Chaochanko, which is within
the eastern Qualifications, and they have
advanced to point near Chaochanko
This news confirms information received
here previously and which The local
Japanese were not inclined to believe.
The junk heard firing until Midnight Of
Aug. %.
Scarcely a building in Port Arthur re-
mains unchanged. The town hall, which
was used as a magazine, has been de-
stroyed.
Four large warships unable to fight are
a Port Arthur. Only one ship, d vessel
with two masts and two tunnels, mas
guns OH board
The fire of the forts not captured by
the Japanese, together wit hthe effect of
land mines, is given as. the reason why
the japanese have not as yet conquered
the Russian stronghold.
