May peace, prosperity anil health and hap piness itter,.' him through the unuie of his new official position. Ex-Mayor Ituss, born ami roared in the midst oi the people he has served for nearly four yearn past, h is boon an acceptable official, and in casting aside the mantle of chief executive- of he Old North Stile's capitol .'ity may rest well assured tha; he will carry with him the b-'st wishes of the good people of his native hearthstone.

Surely then- is not one who knows Bill Russ and has associated with him, but will rejoice in his official elevation, and wish him every success. ENTHl SIASTIC ATLANTA.

Cibwford, of the Meth odist congrega'tioh of this town, has headed off a projlct to raise funds by holding a baby mow in the church. Some dime ago 13 lumber of enterpris ing young people Interested In the Sun day school decided! that a baby show would be Just the Jight thing to draw a paying crowd, andlnext Saturday was fixed as the date. Bew'teen thirty and fonty mothers were leen and all enter ed heartily into theWair.- The babies were promised and a royal good time wast booked. Two rrizea were to be' offered and a prominekt lawyer was se lected as one of the jidges. Pastor Crawford herd of the 'affair and put his foot dowij on it. He said he did not think thaf. babv shows should be held In the Hftuse of God, the committee of young people who had charge of the show promptly declaring it off. The disappointed1 mothers, how ever, do not take kindly to the rather sudden termination of the anticipated exhibition. 1 SUNLIGHT AS A DIStNFBCTANT. Old Sol's Rays Are Death and Destruc tion to Most Bacteria. The work of many investigators has clearly established the falct that direct sunlight has a powerful1 disinfectant action, says the Sanitary Inspector. The infectious agents ofl tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid fever, choleia and even bacteria so hard M kill as that of the germ of suppurajion and an thrax spores are when exposed to rapidly destroyed the action of direct sunshine. Disregarding he question of the direct revivifying .ffect of light sunshine is in important element of salubritv. Those regions i of country . 1 o-tv- liftlp rilUli. ft)T and smoke are less troubled will consump- tion. other things being equal, because. for one reason, the bacillus 01 tiiuei culosis is rapidly destroyed by the great abundance and intensity of the sunshine. For the sime rtason homes around which sunshine ha4 free access are less likely to become "phthisis nests." Esn. area's careful experiments dem onstrated that the disinfecting rays of the sun penetrated several layers of white linen of cotton ololh and des troyed the easily-killed bacillus of the cholera in from one to four hours. 1'nder the same onilui jns the bacillus ef dinh hei ic was destroyed In live hours, hut the germs of suppuration remained alive after six hours' expos ure. In the interiors of cushions, mat tresses, etc., prolonged exposure- to the action of the sun was powerjess to de stroy the diphtheria bacillus. "These .ir.d ether experiments convince Es maih that ill th- action of the sun light we have no trustworthy means of disinfecting. When we can assume that the pathogenic germs arc upon die surface of articles. as in most cases of diphtheria, it would suffice 10 expose the articles to the ae ion of the sun for 1 few hours; but when, in cases of cholera, or typhoid fever, the de jections of the patient may have pene trated to the Interior of mattresses the action of the sunshine cannot be trust ed." e-tlier investigators conclude tnat, while diri"t sunshine rapidly destroys infectious germs when weil exposed to the rays of the sun, it can be trusted only to disinfect the surfaces of ar i cles. It his also been determined that the disinfecting action of sunshine docs not extend far below the surface of water or sewage, the limit of ef fectness being influenced by ihe degree of transparency of the liquid. THE IGNORANCE OF JUDGES. Household Words. "There are," says Mr. MacDnnagh, in his article In the Cornhill Magazine, "many amusing instances of the in fantile ignorance of judges, such as the late Lord Coleridge's 'Who Is Connie Gilchrist?' Sir Henry Hawkins' 'What is hay?' and Earl Halsbury's 'Who was Plgott? In a libel 'iction v a ladv Journalist against Mr. Gilbert a few years ago, Sir E. Clarke read from a book of the plaintiff's a description of Chopin s umber-shaded .hair. Lord Russell of Killowen's face assumed a. look of blank astonishment. 'What shade?" said he. 'Umber-shaded,' re plied Sir Edward. 'Yes, but what shade is that?' pressed the Chief Justice. The British jury could stand it no longer. 'Brown my lord, brown!' they all cried with one voice, and the case oroceed- ed." Waen the iudirp's simnlicltv la poal and not assumed, the humor of the sit uation is m'ore assured. Some men were indicted at the Cork Assizes for riot and assault, before Mr. Justice Ball. The prisoners had beaten two laborers who were drawing; turf from a bog belonging to an obnoxious land lord. One of the witnesses said in the course of his evidence: "As.ie came near to the bog we saw tne prisoners fencing along the road." "Eh! What do you say the prioners werp rimmr?" asked the Judge. "Fencing, my lord.:' "With what?" "Spades and shovels, my lord." The Judge, looking amazed, said to the Crown Connspl- t. hi. be true? Am I to understand that pea sants in this part of the country fence along the roads using spades and Fhov- ri ior ionsr' "i can exn ain it mv lord," said the Counsel. "The prison ers were making a ditch, which we call a fence in this part of the country."
