Tha lard is melted, a little powdered alum being stirred In; then strainod, cooled, and upon an inclined slab rubbed briskly with a muller, while a stream of water is allowed to tricldo ovor it. For preserving the lard, experiments were made besides with benzoin, with balm of Oilead buds, storax, salicylic acid, turpentine and tolu. The best re sults were obtained by using one per oent. of balsam of tolu; the lard was white, kept well, and had its peculiar odor well masked by the slight but pleasant odor of the balsam. Coffee and Mlcrobei. According to the Lancet Dr. Ludcritz has recently made a number of obBorva' tions on the destructive power of coffee upon various microbes. He found that the organisms all died in a longor or shorter period. In one series of experi ments anthrax bacilli wero.dostroyed in three hours, anthrax spores in four weeks, cholera bacilli in four hours and the streptococcus of erypsipelas in one day. Good and bad coffee produce pre cisely similar effects. Till i.i. :,, .- .... ., ., A Parisian .ir,.- i :"..

It is not infrequently charged that Americans are so sordid iu sentiment, io eager and absorbed in the pursuit of material gain, that they are incapable jf heroism or self-sacrifice. The noblest daring, says the Chicago Herald, recorded in verse or drama, in battle or mythology, does not supasa that shown in incidents recorded In the llspatches of the Herald from the flood district in Iowa. Men did not hesitate to take the chances of losing thelr'own lives for the saving of others, and a aumber have gone down with the dead ly flood from whose peril they vainly wught to rescue women and children. It is not so hard for the human spirit, full of emotion and stirred to extraor dinary effort by sudden impulse on bat cli'field or in other scene of brilliant ipectacle or maddening excitement, to risk the loss of that which to every man is dearer than all else. It requires a sterner courage, a heart more deliber ate in self-sacrifice, to risk life for oth ers in a dismal river overflow, in rickety boat, with no skill against rushinp waters, little endurance in the chill o furious blizzards. Compared with the glowing pcanu that have handed down useless feats of fantastic chivalry, such tales may be called only dilapidated epics. 1 he con- ditions of their lives, the circumstances of their death, do not appeal to grand iose diction. Often their very names are unknown. Monuments do not com memorate their voluntary martyrdom. It is such men, oW-tuv, uncelebrated, that prove when the unexpected mo ment comes that there is in them the mettle of heroes. It is such sacrifices that vindicate the political and social experiment of democracy. It is homely, natural, simple deeds like these that prove manhood hiifher than caste. American greater than any other name left in the world. The merit in these men's daring is that it was rational and not expectant of rewurd, ideal or ma terial. It is the noblest tribute that man can pay to humanity. f. 1 j 1 1 i-J iJ I 'MJ II.' THE PEOPLE OUR Not only oooe, but again and again. full weight and good measure for tbe least money.
