TO DISINFECT A SINK.

In hot summertide very strict attention should be given to the sink, so that no ill odors from it may be able to permeate the house. After washing dishes, etc., at the sink, a bucket of water mixed with powdered charcoal should be thrown down the waste pipe, as charcoal is a renowned purifier and disinfecting agent. Cabbage water should never be thrown down a sink, as it smells for days; but thrown upon the garden-beds, out of doors, it may do the plants real service.
