Sugar as a Disinfectant.

In many parts Of Europe 1t 10 Gus
tomary among the people to burn
sugar in sick rooms, a practice which
is considered by physicians as an in
nocent superstition, neither beneficial
nor harmful. Professor Trilbert of
the Pasteur Institute at Paris has,
however, demonstrated recently that
burning sugar developes formic acety-
lene hydrogen. one of the most power
full antiseptic gases known. Five
drains Of sugar (77.16) were burned
under a glass bell holding ten quarts.
After the vapor ha dcooled bacilli Of
typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, small.
pox, ETC., were placed in the bell in
open glass tubes, and within half an
hour all the microbes were dead. II
the sugar is burned in a closed vessel
containing putrefied meat or the con
tents of rotten eggs the offensive odor
disappears at once. The popular
faith in the disinfecting qualities of
burnt sugar appears therefore to be
well founded.

Is proud as Lucifer and as poor as
church mouse. Economy proclaims
itself everywhere" and he cast a swift
glance round the room. But what q
delightful young lady the daughter is
the very opposite of her mother
and he walked up to a mirror and
stood for several minutes contem.
plating his reflection.
The next few days were most en-
joyable to all concerned. Mr.. Jack
sons motor car was brought into con
slant use, and as the weather bept
fine and had a distinct touch of spring
in it, the pleasure Of motoring was
distinctly increased.
1t was Esther's first experience OF
motoring, and she enjoyed it immense
ly. Mrs. Mawgan vas a little nerv-
GUS and afraid of colts, consequently
she only took short trips. Clement
felt that his first duty was to Gray
ton. Hence it frequently happened
that Mr.. Jackson and Esther went
touring across country alone.
That this might lead to unexpected
results did not occur to Esther. II
her brother had told her that his en-
ployer was a widower she had quite
forgotten it. That Mr.. Jackson was
kind and attentive did not surprise
her. He was their guest. and it was
natural that he should max ehimself
agreeable.
That he should be over head and
ears in love with her before he had
been in the house two days never oc-
Cured to any one but himself. Mr..
Jackson, however, was very vividly
conscious Of the fact Esther's grace
and sweetness carried his heart by
storm. During the six years he had
been wifeless he had never seen any
n that captivated his fancy for a
moment. He had practically given up
the idea of ever marrying again.
Now everything was changed as if
by magic. His great regret was that
he vas not twenty years
Still, he was in the prime Of life, was
rich, and of unstained reputation,
while the very poverty Of the Nav
gans seemed a powerful factor in his
favor. He had not lived f~orty-seyen
years in the world without discover
ing some of the weaknesses of wCmar
A beautiful home, unlimited cash
beautiful dresses, costly jewclry
and motor cars-these wcrt
the things that appealed to women
and for which, with a few exceptions
they were prepared to sacrifice all tn
and sentiment that was eve,
talked or imagined.
In this belief Mr.. Jackson wou''
have proposed after less than a wnch
acquaintance, but for a ~pa"ttcuIar'
event which. for tbe time II
absorbed every ones attention.

A Record Honeymoon.

M. and Nine. Eugene Gruard have
started upon the last lap Of their hon
eymoon. The Gruard honeymoon be-
gan twelve years ago. On their we'd
ding day the two started from Paris
to walk around the world, and having
traversed Europe, Siberia, Japan,
North and South America, and North
Africa, they crossed from Dover to
Calais on Saturday and got into the
straight for home a good deal fresher
than Dorando. A prolonged test OF
this kind should leave NO doubt as
TO the success of the Gruard marriage,
as all will agree who know how q
walking tout tries tempers.

WEALTH GROWING STEADILY IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Doane Robinson Estimates Total Increase il. Past Year
at 10 Per Cent.

historian accounts for this by the
shipments of big range herds before
the advance of homesteaders and the
large increase of fat stock on the
farms. It will be observed that not
withstanding South Dakota's classifi-
cation as a wheat state, CORR as last
year, led in the value of yield, while
the barley crop of 1000, 900 bushels
makes South Dakota one of the most
important states in the productions Of
that cereal.
Wool Crop Worth $4,000.
The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers estimates the South
Dakota wool crop at 100000 pounds
worth $4,000, the largest ever cred
tied to the state. There is no mate
rial change in dairy and poultry prod,
ucts, while creamery production is
diminishing and farm production cor
~respOndingly increasing. The miners
have had a satisfactory year, and the
out put Of $S,800,000 is the biggest
ever reported.
Following is Historian K%obinSon's
division Of the principal crops be-
tween the various counties, in bush
els:
1t will be seen from these figures
that Sphinx county produced the most
wheat, Bon Homme the most corn,
Minnehaha the most oats and Min
nehaha the most barley. Of the to-
tai wheat crop, 32,6SG,421 bushels

be due to the belief that a person
who may be bunked is a person Of

well be lying in a bunk, wrapped in

is bunked he is rendered sleepy. That

This sounds as romantic as u

dearies drenched with water while the
children sing a rhyming prayer for
