Jealousy in Woman.

In ordinary times, when no world
movements stimulate, the chief exas

1t differs from male jealousy. for the
male is generally possessive, the fe
male competitive. / suspect that Eu
ripides was generalizing rashly when
he said that woman is woman's natur
al ally. She is too sex-conscious for
that, and many of us have observed
the annoyance Of mother when her
son weds. Competition is always VIC

ever so slightly another woman. II

cause II is natural. woman attempts to
conceal that jealousy, nature being
generally considered ignoble by the
civilized world. In this respect we
must accept that an assumption OF

How sweetly she is sleeping
In her grave beneath the sod;
Oh. we could not wish to wake her
From her slumber there with God.
She has gone to live with Jesus
In that land so pure and bright;
She is with the happy angels
Robed forevemore in white.
She has passed from care and pain
And the ills of earthly life;
Nevermore to know of sorrow
Nevermore to know of strife
Oh how sadly we shall miss her
In the days fast passing by
But we hope to meet thee there. mother

TURN SEA
WATER INTO FLUID
FOR DiSINFECTANT
Electricity Is Used in Creating
New Anti-Septic For Treat
ment of Wounds and Health
Preservation.

London, Feb. 1S.-Sea water turned
into disinfecting fluid at the cost OF
six cents for a hundred gallons is the
novel method Of disfnfecting hospital
ships which has been successfully
tried out on the Aquitania and is now
adopted in the other transports of the
sick and wounded.
The apparatus consists of an cleo
trolytic cell, a reversing switch cap
able of carrying 100 amperes, and
some ordinary insulated electric cable,
costing in all about $3.50. The cell,
in order to insulate it, is placed on
a rubber mat and is raised upon a
low table to enable the contents to be
poured out easily. It is filled with
cold sea water. A current of COTS
amperes at 10 volts is turned on and
in about five minutes there is obtained
a solution combining two parts of 500
.ium hypochlorite or available chlor4
Inc to 1000 parts.
The solution is excellent as a steri-
lier of drinking water. one part calor-
inc to one million parts, and as an
antiseptic for wounds used unidluted
as obtained from the electrolyer. The
fluid is besides used in the butchers
department and in the laundry for
soaking undyed cotton and linen
goods. It is added to the ships swim
ming bath in the proportion of one
part in two million. parts, reducing the
bacteria in the water by 90 per cent
This use of eIectrolyed. sea water
has affected a great economy by re-
placing expensive coal tar disinfect-
ants such as carbolic, cresol and the
like. In the case of the Aquitania,
the saving paid for the cost of tho
apparatus in the course of a single
trip of three weeks.
