Rooms which have been occupied by
a person suffering from infectious dis
ease should, on the termination of ill
ness, be at once disinfected. To effect
this thoroughly, all crevices around
windows and doors and the fireplace
should be closed by pasting pieces of
paper over them. Lumps of sulphur
(brimstone), one pound' for every thou
sand cubic feet of space, should then
be put into a metal dish, placed by
means of tongs ovpr a bucket of water.
This being set fire to, the doors should
be closed, and the room should be al
lowed to remain without interference
for three or four hours. After this
time the windows should be thrown
open, and when the fumes have disap
peared, all the woodwork and walls
should be thoroughly washed with soft
soap and water, to which carbolic acid
has been added (one pint of the com
mon liquid to three or four gallons of
water), and the paper from the wall
stripped off. Iii whitewashed rooms
the walls should be scraped, and then
washed with hot lime, to which carbolic
acid has been added. The windows
should then be kept open for two or
three days.

THE FESTIVE FLEA.
The average woman hates a fica with
an intensity almost diabolical in its na
ture. She will persue one of these lit
tle innocents with the remorselessness
of fiend, and if you ever expect to
see a beautiful exemplification of wo
manly t rates never look for it when she
knows that a flea is about. And pro
portion as a woman hates a flea seems
to love, and is never enjoying ecstatic
buss unless favored with Ler society,
lie likes to see her couch in the still v
aours oi ine nigut, woo her from slum
ber, and from a sheltered nook witness
her fftverish exertions to escape his ca
resses; but perhaps he does not reach
the acme of enjoyment until he can
slyly accompany her to church and not
make bis presence known until she has
satisfactorily settled her furbelows and
flounces on the cushioned seat, all ready
to be admired, and make a note of how
others look. And then the flea begins
his manipulations, knowing full well
that he has his victim at a disadvantage.
Here there can be no hasty flinging of
starts, no assuming ot unbecoming pos
tures wuiie mating irantio grabs at toe
mischievous and inaccessible monster.
If you note the woman closely yoH will
see a compressing of the lips and a look
of hate and pain creeping into the face
which she would fain conceal and not
reveal, for are not many eyes upon her!
One moment she settles herself a
little more firtnsy on one side, as though
hoping to crush the aggressor, but the
next instant she feels him scampering.
Never use anything but light blank
ets as a covering for the tsick. The
heavy imprevious cotton counterpane
is bad, for the reason that it keeps in
exhalations from the pores of the sick
person, while the blankets allow them
to pass through. Weak persons are in
varibly distressed by a great weight of
bed clothes, which often prevents their
getting any sound sleep whatever.

Assembly has among its members over

Editor Democrat :
We are having very nice weather up
here in this bunch -grafts region, while
no doubt you are having Jots of mud
and slush; in fact we have had one of
the nicest and most open winters it has
ever been raj lot to experience. Grass
is growing finely and is full five or six
inehes high that is, the large or eoarse
bunch grass the fine bunch grass, or
buffalo grass never gets so tall as that.
Stock of all kinds is doing well. There
have been - some buyers in this section
recently, but holders, as a general thing,
are unwilling to take the price ouered,
aud are holding for farther advances.

Wine and strong drink form another
candle in which millions of men have
signed themselves, and destroyed both
body and son. Hero the signs are
more apparent than in the other form
of sensuality, because there ia less
secrecy. The candle barns in open
space, where all men can see it. Law
sits behind and sanctions its burning.
It pays a princely revenue to the ttov-
ernment. Women flaunt thiir franzeA
in it Clergymen sweep their robes
through it. Respectibility uses it to
light its banquets. In many regions of
this country it is a highly respectable
candle. Yet, every year, six thousand
persons die of intemperance ; and when
we think of tha blasted lives that live
in waut and m eery, ot wives in des-
air, of loves bruised and bloated ont.
of children disgraced, of alms-houses
filled, of ciimes committed through its
influence, of industry extinguished and
disease engendered, and remember that
this has been going on for thousands of
years, wherever win? has been known;
what are we to think of the men who
still pass into the firel Have they any
more sense than" moths! It ia almost
enough to shake a man's faith in immor
ality to learn that be belongs to a race
tnat maniiests so little sense, and such
hoi.viwis recklessness.
Thti-e is just one way of safety, and
only one, and a young man who stands
at the beginning of his career can
choose whether he will walk in it or in
the way of danger. There is a notion
abroad anion? men that wine is rood.
that when properly used it has heln in
it. that in a certain way it is food, or

The following is said to bo the French
metnoa oi tne meaning attached to
colors, but it appears to us to smack
rather of the laboratory than of genuine
sentiment. They hold ont that violet
is analogous to friendship, blue to love;
as suggested oy blue eyes and azure sky,
A bunch of violets would, therefore,
tell a lady's suitor that friendship is all
that he has a right to expect. Yellow
is paternity, or maternity; it is the yel
low ray ot tne spectrum which cause
tha germ to -shoot. Red fisures ant
bition; indigo, the spirit of rivalry;
green, tne love of change, fickleness,
but also work; orange, enthusiasm;
wljite, unity, universality; black, favor
itism, the influence exerted by an indi
vidual. Certain persons have the srilt
of fascinating all who approach them :
and black, which absorbs all tbe rava of
the spectrum, is the reverse of white,
which combines them in one. Beside
the seven primitive colors, gray indicates
poverty; brown, prudery; pink, modes
ty; silver-gray (semi-white) feeble love;
lilac, (semi-violet) feeble friendship; pale
pink, false shame. j

John B. Googh tells the folTowinr;
story: A minister of the Gospel told
me one of the most tbnliinr incidents
I have ever heard in my life. A mrm
ber of his congregation csme home f.ir
the first time in his life intoxicated, and
bis only boy was upon the dooTrteji,
clapping his hands and exclaiming,
Papa has come home! lie seized tbe
child by -the shoulder aw una him
around, staggered, and fell in the hall.
That minister said to me; "J sx-iit
the night in that house. I went out,
bared my brow that the ni"hta;r miyLt
fall upon it and cool it. I walked up
and down in the hail. There -wai i ij
child dead ! There was hi's wife in
strong convulsions and ho asleep." A
man about 30 years of ar'e wleep, with
a dead child in the house, having a
blue mark upon his temple where th
corner of the marble stp had com ia
contact with his head as he swum'
around, and his wife upon tbe brink of
the gravel "Mr. Gongh," said my
friend, I cursed the drink. He had
told me that I must remain nntil he
awoke, and I did. When be awoke he
passed his band over his face and ex
claimed, "What is the matter! Where
am II Where is my boyT You can
not see him. "Stand out of my war;
I will see my child." To prevent con
fusion I took him to his son's beads U it',
and as I turned down the sheet and
showed him the corpse, ho nttered a
wild shriek, "Ah, my child." That
minister said further to me, "one year
after that the father was brought fmm
a lunatic asylum to lie beside with his
wife in one grave, aud 1 attended his
funeral." The tnimister of the Gos;c-l
who related these facts to me is to-day
himseif a drunken hostler in a stable m
Boston.
Now tell me wht rum will do? Ii
will dsbase, degrade, imbrute and damn
everything that is noble, bright, glori
ous and Uoxl-like iu a human being.
There is nothing drink will not do that
is vile, dastardly, cowardly, sneaking or
hellish.
A CFBIwTs FAMILI BlsTwBT.
A enrions affair has just been made
public near Silver Station, Pennsylva
nia. Ten years ago a rich farmer named
Swingle, sixty years of age. who had
married for his second wife a vomi"
woman long resident in his family,
went ont one day to pay $I,S00 to a
neighbor, a mile or two awav, and never
returned. It was found that he
had paid tbe money and left for honie
on his horse on a dark, stormy evening.
A widow woman living in a loneiy
place on the road testified to bearing
cries of murder. Blood and signs of a
struggle were discovered in the road
next morning. The whole neighbor
hood was searched and Swingle's hors
found tethered in the woods. A band
of horse and cattle thieves wh- infested
the place were accused of bein tho
murderers, and left the country. Eight
een months afterward a skeleton was
fonnd in a pond by a man who was
fishing. , The bones were gathered and
buried as those of Swingle. A couple
of years afterward Swingle's son mar
ried the young widow of fcwmgie senior.
The couple were living pleasantly to
gether tip to last month, with three
children, wbfui a note was receivel from
Cleveland, from tbe missing Swindle, to
the effect that he was in a lodging houe,
sick with a fever. He was found and
brought home, tho wife attending him ;
tbe son was almost crazy, hwingte se
nior, however, died without knowledge
of what had occurred, and the young
couple were married over again. Swin
gle said that he had taken a notion to
leave while on the road, had geme to
Australia, grown rich and then lost ail
Tbe skeleton is now supposed to have
been that of a cattle drover named
Gibson, who frequently went through
.;e country before then, but has net
been seen since.
HAITI. BEAT.
When dry Bait is rubbed into fresh
meats a brine soon forms, amounting in
bulk to one-third the fluid contained in
the raw flesli. Iiebeg ascertained that
this fluid contained the chief constitu
ents of a concentrated sonp or in
fusion of meat, and that therefore
the salting process changv. tLe composi
tion of the meat mere than hoiii-t?. In
boiling, where tbe meat is jj!:tr.il in
boiling water, the albumen remains in
a coagulated stat in the mass of the
flesh, but in Baiting, the allwusen ix sep
arated aa ctagulum. It ii now easy to
understand that in salting meat, where
this is pnsbtxl so far as to produce the
brine above mentioned, a number of
substances were withdrawn from tl.e
flesh which are essential to its constitu
tion, and f iat it therefore loses in nu
tritive qualities in proportion to this
abstraction.
The great error of over-salting is on
of such often occurrence in this country
that it is seldom that home-cured meat
is free from this evil. In many in
stances, one-half or two-thirds of the
salt used would be amply scfEcient to
preserve the meat, and that is the de
sign of salting in bulk. Overealted
meat is not only very nnheaitLy, but is
not half so nutritious as when properly
salted. Exchange.
