Words Which Have Strayed.
Hardly any words in the English Ian

from Il forest mainly in the fact that
the hunting rights were vested in a

forest while warren was a piece of
waste ground over which the right to

In the same way the term affOresta-

Soap an AntIseptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases in
recent years. are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
terment OF conditions not to medical
science. but to the increased use of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with a clean
house and a clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. \ writer
in the New York Medical Record says:
Soap is ROW recognized to be anti
septic and to be etticaciouS must pro
duce lather Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are in

thorough use of Il pure potash soap is
not only a mechanical method of cleans
