Enormous quantities of citric acid are used in calico printing, in pharmacy and in the preparation of artificial lemonade. About 1V ounces (570 grains) of pure citric acid dissolved in a pint of water gives a solution which has the average acidity of good lemon juice. When di- luted with several Tmes its bulk of wa- ter," sweetened wit ‘ sugar and scented with a single drop of essence of lemon, 1111 artificial lemonade is cheaply pro- duced, which is much used as a cooling drink in fever hospitals. It has also been used in the navy as a substitute for fresh lemon juicoin the treatment or' prevention of scurvy, but has been found much less eliicient. In fact, this artificial lemonade is by no means equal to that made from pure liamon juice, whet-her used at table or for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu- matic gout the fresh juice of the lemon is preferred on account of the bicitrate of potash which it contains. Pure lemon ' juice is also a valuable remedy in sore throat and diphtheria. Cases have been recorded in which children have appar- ently been cured of this terrible disease by constantly sucking oranges or lemons. Pure citric acid possesses, like some ‘ other acids, the power of destroying the bad efi'ects of polluted Water used for drinking, but it is perhaps best to boil the water before adding a little citric acid to it—Chambers’ Journal. ' USES OF'OZONE. __—.§~ Valuable For Artificially Aging Liquor or Seasiming Wood. . Ozone 1s now practically applied for several purpOses. Experiments with it brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines and liquors. Ozone will also improve cofl’ee by rendering harmless oily beans. The aroma of tobacco is also considera- bly improved by the application of ozone. The latest application of it is for rapid seasoning of wood for sounding for the purpose is left in a hermetically closed, heated room from 12 to 24 hours, ozonified air being freely intro- duced into the room. It seems that this process will harden the wood, increase its resistance against the influence of temperature pnd moisture and give it considerably more acoustic or resound- ing quality. Another recent application of ozonified air is that of the thickening of linseed oil for the manufacture of linoleum, which by the old process took several months. By the liberal use of ozone linseed oil is now thickened to the re- quired consistency within a few days. Most remarkable, however, is the ad- vantage of employing ozone for bleach- ing linen, since the time employed is less than one-third of the bleaching proc- ess by sunlight, not considering that .this latter is dependent both upon the season and the weather. The ozone proc- ess of bleaching renders the work abso- lutely independent of outside influences. Ozone has also been found very valua- ble in chemical and technical processes, particularly in the production of pure derivatives of starch, for instance, solu- ble starch, dextrin, crystal gum, etc. Here the ozone is instrumental in tak- ing away all the matter which causes the dark color, bad odor and taste.— Philadelphia Record. Hotel Kleptdmaniacs. . I was talking to a hotel clerk, and he said: “Talkabout kleptomaniucs at dry goods stores, they are scarcely a circum- stance to those at a first class hotel. People who cheerfully pay $5 a day for board will steal a 10 cent cake of soap and put themselves to a great deal of trouble to do it. But the principal things guests take are towels, and the collection of those articles has become a regular fad. They are taken as souve- nirs of the hotel, and a lady who has traveled a great deal will have a whole trunkful with the names of the hotels on them. This. is conclusive proof that they have stopped at these houses, and a person whose towels bear the marks of hotels throughout the civilized world is to be envied as possessing a most inter- esting collection of mementos. A few napkins are taken and occasionally spoons. Door keys and checks used to disappear in great- numbers, but none of these equals towels in the eyes of collect- ors of hotel souvenirs.’ ’—-Washingtcn Star. A Blighted" Life. “Farewell for ever. then, ” cried the weeping girl. “We part, but the sorrow of this shall sear my young life for aye. " she threw herself upon the couch as the street door slammed shut behind the haggard young man who had torn him~ self from her presence. Then hastily arising she brushed away the traces of tears and went down to match that love- ly piece of heliotrope.—-New York Her aldv O One Drawback. There’s no such thing in this life as complete satisfaction. If a man has no money, he is miserable. and if he has lots of it, it is next to impossible to ine vest it remuneratively. There is no busi- ness which is sure to pay, not even the business of stealing, but that’s because there are so many persons in it, and them would be many more in it if the penitentiary did not prevent it from be- ing open to everybody, and so be utter— ly ruined. —Boston Transcript.

HER FIRST , PATlENT. A mum Incident In the 01111111111511 or. ‘ Florence Nightingale. There is a beautiful incident related of Florence Nightingale, when she was a child. It shows that God had already planted within her the germ which .was to develop so beautifully in after days. Her first wounded patient was a Scotch thepherd dog. Some boys had hurt and apparently broken its leg by throwing stones, and it had been decided to hang it to put it out of its misery. The little girl went fearlessly up to where he lay, saying, in a soft, caressing tone, “Poor Cap, p Cap.” 'It was enough. He looked with his 5 ak- -ing brown eyes, now bleedshot an full of pain, into her face, and did not re- sent it when, kneeling down beside him, she stroked 'with her little un- gloved hand the large, intelligent head. To the vicar, he was rather less amenable, but by dint of coaxing he at last allowed him to touch and examine the wounded leg, Florence persuasively telling him that it was “all right.” In- deed, she was on the floor beside him, with his head ofi her lap, keeping up a continuous murmur, much as a mother does over a sick child. “Well,” said the vicar, rising from his examination, “as far as' I can tell, there are no bones bro- ken; the leg is badly bruised. It ought to be fomented to take the inflammation and swelling down. ” “How do you foment?” asked Florence- “With .hot cloths dipped in boiling water,” an- swered the vicar. “Then that’s quite easy. I’ll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy, get sticks and make the kettle boil. ” There was no hesitation in the child’s manner. She was told what ought to be done, and she set about doing it as a simple matter of course. “But they will be expecting you at home,” said the vicar. “Not if you tell them I’m here, ” A answered Florence, “and my sister and one of the maids oan come and take me home in time for tea, and, ” she hesitat- ed, “they had better bring some old flan- - nel and cloths; there does not seem to be much here. But you will wait and show me how to foment, won’t you?” “Well, yes,” said the vicar, carried away by the quick energy of the little girl. And soon the fire was lit and the water boiling. An old smock frock of theshepherd’s. had been discovered in a corner, which Florence had deliberately torn in pieces, and to the vicar’s remark, “What will Roger say?” she answered, “We’ll get him another. ” And so Flor- ence Nightingale made her first com; ' press and spent all that bright spring . day in nursing her - first patient—the ’ shepherd’s dog. —Everywhere. . The Southern Aurora. On Feb. 1, in ' latitude 66 degrees, longitude 17 2 degrees 31 minutes, we ran into open water again, having this ti mo spent only six days in the ice pack. On the 1 7th the aurora appeared, stron- ger than I ever saw it in the north. It I rose from the southwest, stretching in i a broad stream up toward the zenith ' and down again toward the eastern hor- izon. The phenomenon this time had quite a difierent appearance from what we saw on Oct. 20. It now presented long shining curtains rising and falling in wonderful shapes and shades, some- times seemingly close down to our mast- heads. It evidently exerted considerable influence upon the magnetic needle of our compass—C. E. Borchgrevink in Century.- Hard wear and tear, and hurry-up, will in time wear out the best human engine.
