There are many human tabernaeles

only when we are personally alarmed at

SELLING POISONOUS MEAT.

Putrefied Meat One of the Most Malignant
and Active of Poisonous Substances.
One Of the physicians, scientists and
expert microscopes who have exam
ined specimens Of the dried beef that
caused the recent Momence fatal cpl
demic has decided that the meat had
become tainted and poisonous before it
was prepared by sailing. smoking and
drying for the market. or that it became
thus unfit for food during the process
Of curing, or because it was incomplete
" cured. Putrefied meat is one of the
most malignant and active of poisonous
substances. 4 slight incubation with
fostering juices of decaying flesh, when
BY accident the abraded flesh comes in
contact with corpse under dissection,
or with the decomposing meat Of ami
mails, is liable to produce death by the
most malignant form of septic8mia-
When putrefied meet IS consumed as
food. the absorbents of the stomach
take up the poison, and the result is as
fatal as when it goes directly into the
circulation by contact with the raw sur
face of the flesh. To knowingly pre-
pare and sell as food meat so decom-
posed is a crime of the most atrocious
description. It involves degree of
criminalitv ike that of poisoning the
water supply of families, or putin
arsenic in their soup.
1t is altogether probable that the Sci
enlist who ascribes the epidemic at Mo-
mence to this cause IS correct in his
opinion. Other physicians who have
studied the case, however. regard the
insects found in the meat as the cause
of disease. This IS hardly probable. or
hardly probable in the form in which
the suggestion is made. The insects.
or bacteria. or micrococci. or whatever
they may be called. found in the poison
Gus meat are the product of putrefac-
ton. They exist only in putretied flesh.
They are as poisonous a. the meat
itself. in which they breed and feed.
But without their presence the putre-
faction would be equally poisonous,
and it is no more poisonous because
they inhabit it Chicago Journal

GATHERED WAISTS,
The Fashion of the Season For Thin Fab
RIGS and Light Summer Silks.


Lace dresses, gauzes, grapes, silk
muslins. India silks, and all thin wash
goods, such as lawns and null, are
made up in some one of the various de-
signs that have full waists SHRED in
rows or merely gathered in a single
row. The most dressy of these waists
is the shirred basque with the front and
middle back forms shirred at the neck
and again at the waist line. The collar
is very high and close about the throat,
and the slight shirring is just below it,
consisting of not more than three or
four rows very near together: at the
line of the waist in front there are
many rows of shirrIng. while the back
has only a few rows extending between
the seams of the side forms: the middle
back forms are not separated by d seam
up the middle, but are cut in one piece
in the old-fashioned way The lining
of transparent lace or muslin basques
is cut low in the neck either round,
square, or in ' shape, and there ere
short cap sleeves set in the armholeS.
An edge of narrow lace, usually Falen-
ciennes for light fabrics, and black
French lace for darker dresses, edges
the neck and sleeves of the lining.
which may be either linen or else silk
Sometimes the basque is in fan shape,
with the fullness of the front carried
back along the shoulder seams; this
gives the appearance of greater
breadth, and is used by very
slender figures. In other basques
the shirring is confined to the top
of the basque, while fine pleats or tucks
are laid at the waist line and for some
distance about it. The round belted
Wa st is also made in various WAYS, the
simplest and most popular form being
that with single row of gathering in
the front and back where it is attached
to the belt This is made without a
lining by amateur dress-makers. as it
is then more easily fitted, and is worn
over q prettily trimmed corset cover:
the modistes prefer to have lining of
linen or of the dress goods itself sewed
IN with the seams TO strengthen them,
but this does not answer with wash
dresses. as the two different materials
will not shrink in the same proportion
after being washed. Another full waist
very much used by those with slight
figures has the top shirred from the
neck low down On the bust to represent
a round yoke; the lines of gathering
are three-fourths of an inch apart. and
extend around the neck and shoulders.
making the waist quite low above the
armholes.
White null and Valenciennes trim
med dresses have this shirred corsace.
or else the plain belted waist and
black velvet ribbon belt confines them
at the waist The neck has Valencien-
mes lace turned down around it in a
close collar that is also very high. or
else the lace forms a puff with frill
below it Still Others have rows of
Valenciennes insertion forming point
down the back and front below the
neck, and others have the entire waist
made of strips of insertion alternating
with null stripes--Harper' Bazar.
