Sunlight and Germs.

In n research to determine accur-
ately the effect Of sunlight on germs,
DR.. r. Weisner, a German bacteriol-
ogist, has made some important dis
coveries. He has found that the dis
ease germs and harmless parasites of
men and animals are weakened or
killed on exposure to sunlight, while
open air bacteria are little affected;
also that disease germs do not lose
their virulence until their dead bodies
are entirely destroyed. Ultra red rays
like the ultra violet have especially
powerful germicidal effect. The ac-
ton of sunlight is in direct proper
ton to its intensity, varies with the
season and time of day, and is lessened
by moisture and cold but at midday
during half of the year it seems to be
sufficient to destroy most bacteria IN
two or three hours. Pneumonia bron-
chitis and colds in general are
probably diminished in summer by
the greater power Of sunlight. Diffus-
ed in houses, the suns rays are enor-
mously reduced in intensity, and they
lose all distinctive power.

How Perfume Is Made.

When. last night, if you are a lady,
YOU Sprinkled n few drops of perfume
over your waist or in your hair, did
you think Of whence that delicately
scented liquid came? asks writer in
the Washington d. c., Pathfinder. Or,
if you happen to be a man, did you,
as YOU entered the house of some fair
hostess, think of the labor that had
to be expended to produce that faint,
delicate OdOr that stole upon you so
entrancingly? Some of the worlds
most famous perfume comes from
the town of Grasse, which lies in the
southeastern corner of France, near
where the "tidelesS sea- sparkleS in
the sunlight. For about six months
of the year the whole country that
lies around Grasse is one great gar
den of flowers, where large part of
the population finds employment in
the perfumery industry, in cultivat-
ing the flowers, gathering them or in
separating the perfume from the
blossoms.
In some cases the extract is ac-
qured by the simple process of dis
tillation, but if the delicate odor that
YOU smelled was that of violet, jas
mine or kindred blossoms, q more diff
ficult operation than mere distilling
was gone through with. The petals
stripped from these flowers are plac-
ed in shallow trays that have glass
bottoms which are heavily coated
over with grease, and they remain
here until the grease extracts all the
odor that was in the flower. The
grease is then subjected to strong al
cOholic treatment, the alcohol solu-
ton taking to itself every vestige of
the Odor, and then the product is
ready for the lady's use.

How THE COOK DID IT.-He had a
number of guests to dinner, and he
was doing the carving. He had deftly
taken two slices off the joint, and he
was turning off a third when the blade
struck a skewer, made a sliding mo-
ton and came out at the top, with the
result that the proposed slice looked
liked a dead leaf curled up by the suns
rays.
He could not say intense things in
the presense of his guests, SO he froze
his wife with a glance, dug the skewer
out viciously, made a grim joke con-
cerning the indigestibility of roasted
wood and ordered little Willie, who
had made several attempts to speak, to
keep silent or leave the table.
His evident temper led to an embar-
RAISING silence, and Willie saw an
opening that he could not resist.
Cook burned her nose orful." he
announced.
Too bad" said the mother, glad of
any excuse for conversation. How
did she do it?"
Why" answered Willie very apro-
pos, trying TO pull them skewers out
with her teeth!"-London Scraps.

"DIDOES.
Does the Word Come to Us From the
Relict of Sychaeus.

The phrase "kick up didos"-for the
plural is formed either with or without
the "e"-is allowable. 1t occurs, for
example. says the Boston Transcript
in Ouiller Couch's "Delectable Duchy,'
but the more common form is Ito cut.
or ito cut up didos." The word Is
dictionary one. Doctor Murray says
that 1t is United States slang" he
defines it as a prank a caper, dis
turbance, row, shindy; he quotes, as
the earliest use in English literature,
this sentence from Sam Slick in Eng
land" (1S43-44); Them Italian sin
gers recitin' their jabber and
cuttin' didoes at a private concert" ;"
He says that the origin of the word is
uncertain.
But Halliburton used the term in
"The Clockmaker" in 1885, and Prof.
Joseph Wright in his English Dia-
lect Dictionary says that the term is
known in Ireland, Kent, Isle Of Wight,
Cornwall, and also in the United
States. Halliburton used it with ref
erence to a Nova Scotan: Il met
man this mornin' from Halifax, real
conceited lookin' criter all shines
and didoes." Professor Wright gives
as the first definition; a disturbance
noise, fuss, as in the speech heard on
the Isle of Wight: He kicked up a
middlen dido about it," then, plural
tricks, antics, eccentric feats- as in
Kent: "Dreckly ye be backturned'
there he be, a-cutting all manner o
didoes;' and lastly a plaything; al
so used as a term to denote articles
which do not give satisfaction to the
owner, as trimming on a dress or bon
net.
Yet the learned Professor Wright
does not venture to explain the deri-
walton Of the word, he does not sug-
gest possible derivation. Did the
term come from the fuss made by
Queen Dido after the pious Aneas left
her? An obsolete word "dido"-a
thrice told tale may have been origi-
nally "a tale of Dido" TAFT in his
"Quaternions" speaks of a Didonian
curve, with reference to the story OF
Dido, who bargained for as much land
as could be covered with a hide, and
then cut the hide into long and mar
row strip. Why not say gliby that ito
cut up didos" is to cut up as Dido did?
Let us honor the name of that noble
dame in every way.

Americanized, but that is just the
trouble heren The back room is guilt

The one special charge which Mrs.
Locke gave her husband on the eve of
her departure for a fortnight's visit
to a friend was her fern-her beauti-
full. wide-spreading fern. Don't for
get 1t while I'm away visiting, will
you. Henry" she pleaded; and Mr..
Locke answered that the fern should
be forever on his mind till she re-
turned.
Therefore. when on the evening of
her arrival she noticed with a start
that the fern was not in its accustom-
ed place, she turned reproachful eyes
on her husband.
"Now, my dear. let me tell you,
said Mr.. Locke, glibly. 'if ever man
kept his word, did. That-er-that
fern was on my mind night and day
l scarcely ever forgot it. 1 watered 1t
oh, must have watered it four or
five times the first two days. 1 want
ed to be sure it had enough.
Then the water began to run out
of the saucer, so left it alone-en-
tirely untouched, my dear, for the
next three or four days, just as you
would treat a person who had over
eaten.
Then when it began to look a tri-
he dry I watered it again, very faith
fully; but it began to look curious,
very curious. So just took it round
to the florist, and he said he'd better
look after it for a week or so.
He told me that both Jennings and
Wilkinson had brought their wives
ferns to him the day before-same
kind as yours. He says ferns are
something like children-they miss
the person they are used to my dear. "
