Sugar as a Disinfectant.

In grandmother's day a sprinkling
of sugar on a shovelful of hot Goals
carried about the room was the ap-
proved disinfectant for bad odors, or
in cleansing a room after any conta-
gious disease, says the Journal of Ag-
riculture. In later years We have
gone to the druggist for our disinfect-
ants and mo smellee" appliances.
Now comes the statement from Prof.
Hilbert of the Pasteur Institute at
Paris that burning sugar develops
formic acetylene-hydrogen, one of the
most powerful antiseptic gases known.
In an experiment recently made TITS
grains of sugar were burned under a
glass bell holding ten quarts. After
the vapor had cooled, bacilli Of small
pox, typhoid fever, cholera and tuber-
culosis were placed in the bell in
open glass with the result that inside
of half an hour all the microbes were
dead. Experiment also proved that
even rotten eggs and decayed meat
placed in a closed vessel in which
sugar had been burned lost their Of
fensive odor at once. 1t appears,
therefore, that grandmother's belief
wal we'll founded after all, though she
may not have known the scientific
reasons for it's efficiency.

Hot Water Bottle

The hot-water bottle is a wonder
full invention for a cure and a relief,
but it should be used with caution,
like any other article, especially with
very sick people or with infants. The
cork or stopper should be carefully
placed and carefully tested every time
before being used in the bed. There
are not a few cases of burns from hot
water bottles, especially in the case
of old people whose senses have not
conveyed to them prompt indications
of pain. In a recent case where a
patient was successfully operated on
for appendicitis, the hot-water bottle
used burned him so that it made a
sore on his leg several inches long.
The Ladies' Aid Society, which met
with Darcy's mother, had assembled
on the porch. A big turkey suddenly
appeared near by, strutting and rump-
ling his feathers, when the hostess
was astounded to hear Darcy, who was
at play in the yard, call out: For
shame, Chucky, put down your

A FABLE.

DR.. j. N. Hurry, Secretary of In
diana State Board of Health and the
au,ilor of this fable says "it is not a
fable, but simple straight goods"
Once a great king, named Hooser-
osus l, called his lawmakers together,
for he thought the people needed some
more laws. The law makers came a.
running, because it filled their heart
with gladness to pass laws. The first
law passed was n making an appro-
priation of 100, 900 ducats to pay their
salaries and expenses. There was no
debate. and every one voted aye. AT
ter this, the laws came SO fast they
Just rolled down the corridors OF the
great law house and tangled the feet
of the members of the third house.
Both good and evil were in these laws,
sometimes one and sometimes the
other, principally the other.
Among the laws was one to build
a cow shed-the law said a coliseum
to be used five days in each year to
show COWS in. To make a COW holiday
as it were. Another law was for a
hospital where poor young mothers
with consumption could be treated
1865 days in each year and many re-
stored to health and usefulness. The
COW shed law went through dead easy,
and carried with it an appropriation
of 100, 900 ducats. The hospital law
barely got through by the skin of it's
teeth, and carried an appropriation
OF 80, 900 ducats to buy ground to put
it On, but nothing for building it. One
great lawmaker from Pinchburg, who
l. -1c0~~ foy, nnannrpu untn6
gladsomely for the COW shed, but vot-
ed against the institution for saving
life and making useful citizens. He
said in his speech-"It amt good bust
ness to build this here hospital, and
besides, the Kingdom can't afford it.
I'm fur economy"
A great crowd of people, some eating
wienerwurst sandwiches, was present
when the sleek ows with red ribbins
on their horns and tails were led
into the arena of the n hundred
thousand ducat COW shed. The sleek
cows were greatly admired, and all
present, including the cows, enjoyed
themselves very much. The poor con-
sumptive mothers who might have been
saved to bring up their children are
all dead and are now nicely buried.
The motherless children were taken
to the orphans home.
Moral. Be a cow and be shown off
in a one hundred thousand ducat cow
shed with a red ribbon on your tail.
Don't be an unfortunate consumptive
and lie in a premature grave. The
Kingdom can't afford to save you, the
money is needed for a COW shed.
Economy is the cry.

The Perfect Man.

There is n man who never drinks,
Nor smokes nor chews nor swearsi
Who never gambles-never f1irts
And shuns all sinful snares,
He's paralyZed!
There is a man who never does
A thing that is not right.
His wife can tell just where he is
At morning, noon or night.
He's dead!

GIRL COURTS DEATH IN
DOUBLE AUTO SOMERSAULT.
La Belle Roche TwirIs Around in
Air in Circus Tent.

For utter recklessness In the face OF
danger and for nerve that passes all
understanding, Ringing Brothers have
at last brought forth an act that estab-
fishes a new record, and when the big
circus appears here on Friday, May
q, the morbid minded will be given an
opportunity of seeing a young French
girl dash down a steep incline in an
automobile, machine and rider leaping
high in air and making two complete
somersaults in space before alighting
on a spring platform.
1t is the first time in the history OF
this sort of circus feature that either
a bicycle or an automobile has achieved
a double somersault In mid air. De-
scription of the act defies the powers
of English. 1t Is a brief momen of
exquisite suspense that pinches the
spectators heart and whitens his face.
Nerves are drawn to the swapping
point and the relief of the audience
when the act is finished in safety is
expressed in shouts Of applause and
the waving of handkerchiefs.
1t is truly a wonderful performance
that Ringing Brothers are offering
patrons this season-far superior tc
any that has been seen in the past

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
GATHERING SIGNETS.
NEW fad is the gathering of sig
nets and seal impressions. The

A NEW fad is the gathering of sig
~ nets and seal impressions. The
outfit necessary to begin needs
only to consist of a dozen sticks of seal
ing wax. Red, white, brown, gold, green
and black will be the range of colors.
A light wooden box to keep the equip
ment in, a white taper cut into several
pieces to permit it's insertion into the
box, a box of matches, and a stock of
urruled white writing paper, complete
the outfit. The paper. should be cut
into various shapes, such as squares,
ovals, oblongs, etc, in sizes varying
from one-half incl 10 a couple of
inches in length.
Now you are ready for your quest.
Just keep your eyes open for the dis
covery of rings or watch charms adorn-
ing your friends or acquaintance,
which have a figure or symbol en-
graved upon them. You will be sur
prised to see how many curious seal
rings and fobs you will find, and when
you come across those which you de-
sire to begin your collection with, ask
for permission to obtain your impress
sion.
This Is done by laying a piece of your
writing paper on a solid, smooth sur
face. A table is the best support. Hold
a lighted match to YOU sealing wax
stick till it melts, hen rub the sealing
a quickly over the middle of the
paper. Then wet the seal with the
tongue so that it will not stick to the
burning wax; press it into the yielding
mass a second or so, being careful to
lift it straight up when removed, thus
securing a clean cut edge. Repeat the
operation as many times as you wish
duplicates, for # it is a particularly
fine signet you will have little trouble
in trading your duplicates for others
which you may not De able to- procure
except by this means.
When you have enough to make a
good showing then comes the time to
mount o collection for exhibition.
This is done to the best advantage by
pasting the specimens on a stiff card
board, say, sixteen to twenty-five inches
in size, inc if you combine your colors
and sizes happily you may achieve
quite a tasteful artistic effect and add
an attractive, interesting ornament tc
your room by framing the group Of sig.
nets and hanging them on the wall.
