Lime as a Disinfectant.

The simplest things are the things
most likely to be forgotten. 1t is
never out of place, therefore, at this
season of the year for ell of us to
refresh our memories to the fact that
ordinary quicklime is one of the best
and cheapest of disinfectants. To two
pounds of unslaked lime pint of
water is added. When the Jumps
have crumbled and the heat generated
in the process of shaking has disap-
peared, there is added four volumes
of water to one Of the slaked lime,
making the mixture known as milk
of lime." 1t furnishes one of the
best of disinfectants for siek-roon
discharges. embarrassing fences,
pens and the interior of outhouSes
with it tends to render them more
sanitary. The unslaked lime scat,
tered about dairy barns, lots and
yards sinplifies the problems of saDi'

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Preparations for Canning.

The first steps in all canning, says
the United States department of ag
riculture, consist in the preparation
and cleaning of containers and in the
preparation of the products to be
canned by washing, pairing, trimming
and eating into pieces where division
is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with clean hands, clean utensils
clean, sound, fresh products, and pure
clean, soft water. No vegetables or
fruits which are withered or unsound
should be canned. If possible, only
fruits and vegetables picked the day
of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly,
should be canned. in fact, within FIVE
hours if choice product is desired.
Before the preparation of the prod.
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crockery Jars
are used they should be placed in a
vessel of cold water over fire to
heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used. All products should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared If
necessary, and small fruits, berries
and green's picked over carefully.

QUEER CUSTOMS IN BoRNEo
Norwegian Explorer Writes Of Some
of His Experiences in
That Island.

Quaint customs In darkest Borneo
are described by DR.. Carl Lumholtz,
Norwegian traveller. Doctor Lumholtz
says, in part:
We met six natives who had been
hunting the rhinoceros in the west.
The horn of the animal when pow
dered is in great demand by the Chi
nese as a medicine, and fetches high
price. Such an expedition may last for
two months. The hunters carry no pro-
visions, and live on sage and what
animals they can kill. When there is
scarcity of food they frequently go
three or four days merely on water,
and stay the pangs of hunger with
tobacco. / vas told that man would
tackle a rl'inoceros with a spear
single-handed, though the beast is
very difficult to kill.
One day we were surprised by the
arrival of a Saputan chief with two
companions In boat. They brought
with them dog, a blowpipe for darts,
and recently killed pig.
Not far from the Muller mountains
we camped upon the Upper Kasao
river, whica is inhabited by Saputans.
They are a crude. friendly people,
who, hundred years ago, We're mere
cave-dwellers in the mountains to the
east.
AT Saputan had the good fortune
to take cinematograph picture of the
ceremony of the piercing of chiefs
ears. 1t is their privilege to wear a
tigers tooth inserted in a hole in the
upper part of each ear.
The chief was seated and a board
was placed behind his head. Friends
and supporters assisted in the opera
ton, which consisted of an empty rife
cartridge being forced through his ear.
Blood streamed down, and the man,
apparently of a very robust type,
seemed to be near fainting. A medi-
cine man was hurriedly summoned,
and h. clapped his hands over the ears
and then, opening them, produced a
small stone. This he threw into the
river.
was told that this stone was the
supposed cause of the chiefs illness.
The scene was brought to a dramatic
conclusion by the exhausted chief be-
ing ANONYMOUSLY carried away on the
back of young man. During the aft
ernoon more pebbles were produced by
the same sleight of hand. and pig
was killed in order to appease the bad
spirit which had caused the chiefs ILL
ness.
The Dyaks of the Upper Mahakkan
are friendly TO strangers, and as the
great rapids down the river form a
natural barrier they seldom receive
visitors, and are little changed by out
side influence. The Mohammedan Ma
lays, for instance, have never been
able to extend their influence above
the rapids.
Luckily for the Dyaks. and incident
ally for ethnology, these natives pos
sess fine muscular development. The
women are Vaii formed and move with
grace and 'eedom. The headhunting
part of the native religion has been
practically suppressed by Dutch influ-
ence, and so far as 1 could ascertain
the last case of the kind in this region
| was at least five years ago.
