DANGER IN ORIENTAL RUGS.
Antiques and Near Antiques May Both
Be the Vehicle for Germs

DIR. Remlinger, head of the PaSteur
institute in ConStautinOple, has been
making an investigation of oriental rugs
and carpets and has published Il sum
mary of his results i'll the German Jour
nal of General and Applied Hygiene. He
hnds that the carpets of the better class,
the highly priced antiques or near an
tiQues, constitute serious menace to
health unless they are put through 4
radical cleansing and disinfecting pro-
cess.
The real antiques which have been in
use i'll oriental houses or baZaarS for years
or generations have been exposed TO the
c0ntagion of countless disease germs.
Their texture fits them in a peculiar LAY
to gather and retain these indefinitely.
These genuine antiques are far less
Objectionable than the counterfeit an
t!ques which have been artihcially mel
lowed. One of tie least Objectionable
methods used TO soften the colors in the
degree that the European and american
market calls for is to bury the carpets
in trenches with quantities of stable
refuse. When taken up they are little
likely TO receive a thorough cleansing.
Sometimes the carpets are aid down
in frequented places TO be walk d on,
thus accommodating the bacteria laden
may be lent to beggar or street vender,
who sits on it and sleeps in it until it
acquires the semblance of age.
DR.. Remlinger points out that tuber-
culosis, throat diseases and catarrh are
prevalent in the rug and carpet trade.
He is of the opinion that they are con-
tracted from handling the faprics and
breathing the air in which they are
opened and agitated as they are shown to
customers. The doctor also expresses the
opinion that some otherwise unaccount-
able outbreaks of tropical eLteric dis
orders that have taken place i'll Paris
We're due to infection from oriental rugs.
The most thorough and efficient process
of cleansing would be disinfection by
steam. This would do no harm to the
rugs and it is IN absolutely certain meth
cd of killing bacteria. He thinks that it
should be generally adopted as a prelim-
mary to the importation of eastern fab.

Sorting and Packing Eggs

Eggs to be placed on the market
should be carefully sorted and packed
as to size. shape and color. 1t is bet
ter not to put eggs having different col
pred shells in the same package;
neither should eggs varying much in
size be placed in the same package Ev-
cry egg should be perfectly clean. and
If slightly soiled Il may be wiped clean
with damp cloth. If badly soiled the
eggs should be discarded, for the wash
ing required to clean them Injuries their
appearance. The discarded eggs can be
disposed of at some of the cheaper and
less eXacting markets. Eggs may be
placed in large shipping cases or in
small pasteboard boxes according to
how they are TO be marketed.-G. 4.

Will Now Sue the New York Central for

A novel question will be raised in
suit against the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company which
Is to be brought at Utica. The question
is whether or not a half pint of whisky
Is legal pay for a ride from Syracuse to
Watcrtown. The identity of the person
who is to institute the action against the
railroad has not been revealed, but it is
said that he is Il resident of WATERFOWL.

Pral months ago this person was IN SYRIA
cuse and was about to purchase a ticket
TO 20 to WatertOwn, when n friend told
him he could get him 4 ride on a freight.
1t is said that the conductor on the
freight was asked if the person might
ride and answered in substance that he
could if he had Il half pint. The would
be passenger purchaSe d a pint Of whisky
and the conductor helped himself. The
passenger rode to Watertown, but on
and he was so badly injured that he was
IN the hospital for nearly two months
1t is conceded that if the person rode
free the railroad would not be responsible
for any injuries he sustained, but it IS
urged by the attorney who is to bring the
suit that when he gave the conductor
the whisky the liquor was accepted as
the fare to WATERFOWL and consequently
the railroad company was bound by the
conductors act and owed him the same
care and duty that it would have owed
him had he been riding in palace car
instead of in the caboose.

Flowing and DrOughts.

Subsoillng and drainage are systems
that should be practiced in connection
with each other. Subsoiling without
drainage is more damaging than bene-
fetal, as it allows the water to accumu-
late and there remain. If the system
Of drainage is made complete there is
nothing better than deep cultivation, as
sisted by the subsoil pillow. The great
fear of those who are opposed to sub
Soiling is that they are compelled to
turn up soil from below, which is not
desirable, as 1t requires time for the
cold undersoil to become proper plant
food; but the subsoil pillow does not,
as many suppose, turn up the soil. 1t
simply pulverizes it. The plan usually
pursued is to pillow the soil in the ordi-
nary manner, following In the same fur
rows behind the first pillow, with a sub
soiler, to which should be harnesSed
three horses, in order that the work
may be thoroughly done. AS the first
plow moves on, leaving the upper soil
broken, the subsoil pillow, coming after
It, should go in to a depth Of at least
/ inches below the plowed furrow Ga
foot, if possible), thus rendering the
actual depth quite deep, though not
mixing the upper and lower strata.

States was successfully experimenting in
the production of camphor. He said, in
part:
For years the department has been
distributing camphor tree seed and thou
sands of trees are now growing through
out the south and in the Pacific coast
states. Two years ago serious effort
was made to develop the manufacture of
camphor from these trees.
by improvements in manufacturing
processes satisfactory results have been
accomplished and a large manufacturing
concern is now building up Il camphor
grove of 1000 acres in Florida, from
which it hopes to make its camphor.
This firmuses more than 100000 worth
of camphor every year. New York
