Wo do not believe lu tho chromo busi

ford to glvo every subscriber a gold watch

this : Every subscriber who will pay up

The fallowing article from Sanitary Ofcait
inns will prove of usu in cases ot sickness 1
"Every family Is obliged to mnku uso of
disinfectants to a greater or less degree. It
Is therefore Important that the housekeeper
should know which disinfectants to use
und which to avoid for many substances
uro not really disinfectants, but merely de

uficlitrers, and tho fame tins used over
ngnln, while thu article so inadu would
have many ndvnnlnges. It could, in tho
first place, bo made ns strong as the ncces
sides of any particular occasion might re
quire, and In the'next place tho pure acid
may bo used for house disinfection, nnd so
lessen the dlsngreeahlencss of tho smelt,
whllu the common kinds may be employed
for yards, stables, fowl-iiouses, etc, Thu
method of making powders Is very simple.
About four ounces of the ncld, by weight
or measure, should bo added to one pound
of precipitated chalk, or lino sand, or
mould, or uny other harmless substance in
a finely subdivided state, and thoroughly
mixed In 11 largo bowl. This powder will
be suitable for till oiitlimry purposes, and
will be far supeilor to many of thu disin
fecting powders sold at twice the cost.'
Chlorine gas is a good disinfectant in
scurlet fever cases. There is no use In em
ploying this, however, unless It is thor
oughly done. In typhoid cases, chloride
and sulphato of zinc, and Biilphato 01 cop.
per arc excellent substitutes for carbolic
acid. Excreta frum patients should in.
variably be disinfected with a dilute form
of ono of these substances. It Is well to
boll bedclothes nud beds with thu addition
of some sulphuto or chloride of zinc solu
Hons. The wood. work of a room in which the
patient Is confined should be cleansed with
soup und water mixed with a little carbolic
acid.
In our lust number we spoke of thu ine
of sulphurous ncld gas or the vupors from
burning lump sulphur, und of the advan
tage of this disinfectant for fumigation
over others. Do not spare the sulphur in
contagious diseases where rooms have
been contaminated, ami be careful not to
set 111 0 to the clothes. Bedding must
sometimes bo taken apart before fumiga
ting u room nud Its contents.
It may be interesting to our readers to
learn uhj we employ disinfectants. In
disease decomposition takes place; dtciy
lug matter is present, full of minute organ
isms, and a fermenting process is contin
ually going on. Tho gases produced by
this process, by this decomposition, are, so
far as wo know, without exception, harm
fill. A good disinfectant either absorbs or
destroys the poison of these gases. Pre
vention Is thu first care of the sanitarian ;
but then if the poison is present, dettrvdion
must be thought of next. Good sewers,
well-laid drains, and properly arranged
pipes will frequently liretvnt the need of
disinfectants; but if diseutu find its way
into tliu house, it is ot thu most absolute
necessity Hint wo know how best to meet
It and its dangers, and to pi event its
spread to others, as well us to keep it from
assuming a virulent form lu the affected."
County Institute'.
.Monday's mission.
1 hu Institute wus called tu ordtr by
Supt, Grimes at 1:30 P. M. About 1C0
teachers have enrolled showing nn absence
of nbout one-fourth of the entire number.
The majority of the teachers arc deeply
interested in the work ntd will go uwny
benefitted ; but a few are bent on having a
good time at all events.
Tho address of Wei come was made by
Dr. Wuller. He made use of some statis
tics that should arouse tho teachers and
parents of tho couuty to u proper sense of
their duty. We nro below tho average In
all things appertaining to thu schools.
He lamented the fact that educated labor
in this couuty was on a par with the un
educated, while he claimed that the former
was worth 00 per cent, more than the latter.
Ho urged upon parents to attend tha ses
sions of the Institute.
No ono should bo more interested in In.
stltutes than those who have children to
send to school. The 'Dr. mado one mis-
take In saying that not a sluglo district of
the county had u library ; but instead of
one every district In tho county should
have a library, if not every school.
Dr. aroff of Luwisburgli who is the
author of many admirable little works on
hygeino and tho natural sciences, followed
with a talk on tho caro of the eyes. Tho
Dr. lias written a small book called "Plain
Hules for the Care of the Eyes." If those
plain rules which he gave the teachers aie
followed they wjll do much good.
Prot. Noctling completed thu exercises
for thu afternoon with a talk on penman
ship. He spoke of tho valuo of position
and penlioldlug only in so far nsjtliey were
In tho lino of forming right habits. The
Prof's, talk on habit cannot be repeated,
too often. Teachers are entirely too care
less on this point. Tho Prof. Includes in
penmanship, writing, composition, cup!,
tulization, punctuation und orthography.
In the evening Dr. Groffgave an illus
trated lecture on the Wonders ot tho hu
man body.
These evening lectures will form no part
of this report.
TUESDAY'S SKSSIOXS.
The first lecture of tho mornlug was
given by Prof. Saufordof Mlddletowii, New
York. Tho Prof, is authority on methods
ot teaching primary classes. He teaches
tho word method using thu, script letters
llrst. Ho advises that the words bu writ
ten upon all parts of tho blackboard to
overcome "local knuwledgc." Hu clulins
that there will bu no trouble in passing
from tho written to the printed word.
Dr. Gruff then gave n very Interesting II.
lustrutcd lecture on Physical Geography.
Tho several geologicnl uges of tliu earth
were repmsented by colored charts show,
ing tho animals and vegetable llfo in each
age. Ho spoke of tho origin and ixtcnt of
the coal deposits In tho U. S. of tho time
and manner of mountain making, ot wutcr
as un agent in thu formation ot thu phy.
slelal features ot the earth.
Prof. Noetling spoko upon graduatlou,
He said that many peoplu mado a mistake
in supposing that their education was
completed when they graduated from a
collfgo. Wo never nro done learning, and
when wo do ,not learn wo go back. The
object of the Iustltuto Is to get thoughts on
tcachlug and not to make Imitators, On
the usu of text books he Bald that those
who could teach better witli text books
should iso them, and that those who could
teach bctu without them should teach In
that way, 1 found fault with thoso
teuchcis who crammed n text hook Into tho
minds of his pupils. Ho found fuult with
the system of weekly or monthly reports,
He thought that tho report represented thu
failure or siicccet of the, teacher Instead of
tho pupil. Dr. Croft followed with some
very simple but very Interesting physical
experiment, to show how ensy It Is for
teachers to obtain n reptitntlon for wisdom
nnd nt the tame lime Interest and Instruct
Ids pupils.
This closed (he forenoon session.
Miss Gulu began tho afternoon session
with n talk on reading nnd volco culture.
Prof. Wilbur thought that all should
kiuw'moro nbout civil government. He
begun on the subject of elections, thu times
of holding both general nnd Ucnl, tho
qualification of electors when ho got Into
a discussion which took up all thu tlmo ot
this period, This mutter should claim the
attention of all teachers. E?cryono should
Imvo u respi-ctable knowledge of our elec
tion laws by the thnu they come lo vote.
Dr. droit then followed with a talk on
"Success." He gave tho best advice to
teacher that I Imvo ever heard. El'y
scntencu of It should bo carefully consld
ered by every teacher, Teachers might to
be tho greatest leaders. Every teacher
should spend their tobacco and beer money
for good books. Teachers should be
proud of their profession nnd determine to
succeed In it. Teachers should teach
more tlnn they find In books practical
knowledge, such ns they can learn from
tradesmen. There should bo a limit to ex.
nmlnatlou of teachers. Tcaohcrs should
take up new studies. They should become
learned In ouo branch at least. They
should save thu minutes for study.
Prof. S.iuford then introduced the Hub.
ject of phonics, when the Institute closed
for the day.
WKDN'KttDAY's SESSIONS.
Dr. Monroe gave a short talk to thu
