The report from Ottawa that the re-

been supposed TO belong to England, is
no news to government officials here, who

the work
When the London tribunal finally set
tied the Alaska boundary dispute four OF
five years ago, it was provided that Wis

whole line OF the boundary. There was
no dispute as to that part OF the boundary

Insects and odors.

The ordinary perfumes of every
day life have a distinct use in the
destruction of microbes, and this is
especially the case with some of the
essential oils which are used in
cooking and in medicine. Cinna-
mon, which is so universally used
for fiavoring, will kill some mi
crobes within quarter of an hour,
and it has long been reputed as ad-
yantageous in the destruction of the
bacillus of typhoid while still out of
the body, perhaps very different
thing from the bacillus when it is
inside our anatomy. Cloves, too,
can destroy some specimens of bac-
terra in rather more than half an
hour, and the common wild verbena
has a similar action in about three
quarters of an hour, while geranium
flowers have similar action, though
it takes rather longer to develop it.

Stevens and Maynard.

Thaddeus Stevens was once op-
posed in debate by Horace Maynard
of Tennessee. Maynard was very
tall and straight and had long black
hair, which he wore well down over
his coat collar, and which gave him
somewhat the appearance of an In
dian. 1t was even rumored that he
had some aboriginal blood in his
veins. Maynard prided himself on
his scholarly attainments, and at
the close of his address he quoted
one or two Latin verses. Old Thad
replied to Maynard's argument in
his usual vigorous manner and then
paused for a few seconds until he
had secured the attention of the en-
tire house. Turning to Maynard,
who sat some distance behind him,
he delivered this parting shot: $50
much for the gentleman's English.
AS to his Choctaw, I do not profess
to understand it"
