The Only Accepted Modes of serving a
Dinncr-The French style.

There are, according to a ConnOlSseur in
such matters, two, and only two, modes If
ing dinner, i. e.. the pure French style ora
la russo.
The French style is, to tho sournlunl, the
best when the guests are few and close
friends. The dishes TO DO consumed appear
in three services or relays. This method en-
tails vast responsibility on the host. Let him
lie a poor carver AMI the dinner Is spoiled
The first service comprehends the soup, hOrs
dUuvres, relieves and entrees, the second
comprises the rotis, vegetable aud sweet
dishes; the third the dessert. All the dishes
appear upon the table
a la russo means "A table tastefully adorned
with fruits and flowers, tho triumph5 of the
confectioners art and indeed, ali the cold
dishes, The hot dishes are carved apart and
served to the guests, A Ia russo is the form
when IA banquet or ceremonial dinner for
many is to he served. A very graceful mode
II that Of placing "a corSaBo bouquet at the
plate OF each lady and a bputpuniara ut that

Many writers have 'ir,'apt,i ~ the duties
Of the host and the proper manner Of dis.

make ladies or gentlemen. Here is a gour-

to satisfy themselves beyond the shadow of q

Berlin engineers have adopted two differ
ent systems for diminishing the noise Of
trains ON their viaducts One is to bolt to
the bridge structure long troughs of sheet
iron, about sixteen inches wide, SO arranged
that rail will come in the center Of each
The troughs are then filed with gravel. in
The middle OF which is buried the longitud-
inal timber carrying the rail and the space
between the troughs is covered with iron
plates, on which is spread a thin layer Of
gravel The second method, which l. found
TO be more efficient than the other consists
In placing continuous series OF shallow iron
troughs, about five feet square, along the
line of tho tracks. These ere filled with
gravel on which the ties and rails are laid

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.



A Berlin correspondent OF Science News
announces an interesting discovery IN a new
fever cure called phenacetin or picnic acid,
which is said to be far superior to its immedi-
ate predecessors, antpyrin and antifebrin. 1t
Is prepared from petroleum and appears in
the form of gray red finely crystalized
mass, while its lack of taste and smell makes
it pleasant medicine. Professors KnSt and
Hinsbcrg, in Freiberg, first discovered the
value Of phenacetin as fever cure, and upon
their recommendation the clinical professor
Won Bamberger in Vienna first put it to
practical use, and with excellent success In
doses of one-tenth to one-fifth of a gram for
children and one half to one gram for adults,
1t quickly reduces the temperature and effects
the cure of the patient. The chief value Of
this over other similar medicines is its harm
less effect upon the system. 1t is found
effective also in cases of rheumatism and in
Illumination of the joints, us well as in head
ache and neuralgia.

There was special meeting of the Board

sion Of their views relative to certain pro-

use of highways by Telegraph and telephone
companies, TO electric and power companies,

troll of the Board of Aldermen, in the respect
named, not interfering with the chartered
rights.

tween the telegraph, telephone and cleo
trio light and power companies and the
