Then again, the hiring OF clothes is
dangerous. In cities it has become an
everyday matter to hire wearing APP
parel, particularly dress suits, and
these suits are worn by men Of all
sorts, of all associations, and possibly
by men who have some infectious dis
ease. If the wearer has not such a
disease, the clothing may be worn in q
place or among people where disease
germs will be taken away in the meshes
ofthe cloth. Costumes for masquerades
and theatricals are worse yet, for they
are more especially worn by the lowest
as well as by the highest, by the vicious
and depraved as well as by the decent
and respectable; and these costumes
are rarely or never washed and are
used until they are worn out.
Books, too, are dangerous, Rub the
finger over a clean sheet, and thin
streak OF dirt, perspiration and skin
cells is the result. Once reading a
volume through leaves a minute de-
posit on every page touched, from
from title page to finish. Sick people
leave germs of their diseases. BY de.
erees the hollows fill up the oil of the
skin tinges the pages and tn book be-
comes dirty. Under the microscope
this detritus is nitrogenous, loose,
moist and decaying. One germ intro
duced into it will breed and produce
millions OF bacteria and these will live
for unlimited time in the rich soil that
has been gathered from a hundred
hands. 1t is soil for the germs OF
scarlet fever. smallpox and various
blood diseases. Cleanliness is NOT only
next to Goodness but it is next to life
and health, and though the germ scare
may be overdone, yet it will produce
good results in the hands Of intelli.

Lawyers Labo-S.

Within the memory of men still living, it was not difficult task for a lawyer in active practice to familiarize himself with all the leading American decisions. How is it now? Unless his memory IS abnormally developed he cannot retain the names of the reports, even, much less their contents. In this multitude of au- thorities, both luminous and fuliginous, no proposition, however absurd, is re- quired to stand with apparent support. The lawyer of the present, instead of basing his judgment upon broNd, general principles of right, is apt to spend his time and waste his faculties ill delving and searching among the yellow covered literature of public law library (no one but a millionaire can afford one of his own) for some case similar to the one in hand. He shrinks into mere decision index or an echo." He becomes a pa tient toiler searching for the threads oi precedent to twist a rope with which to strangle principle. A writer who took the pains to gather the statistics asserts that from December, 1886, to August, 1SS7-a period of eight months-the su- preme court and the courts of last resort of the various states rendered S,325 de- cisions, in most of which opinions were written.-Forum.
