How to Make the Dining-Room an At.
tractive Place.
1t goes without saying that dainti'
ness upon the dining table is regarded
as necessity in every well ordered
home. The two or three daily meals
are often the only occasions when the
entire household gathers together. anG
the mother knows that Il prcttily ar
ranged table is really powerful factor
in forming the characters and habits Of
her children. Absolute cleanliness is
of course. the first essential. The cloth
must be spotless and smoothly laid. the
napkins must be neatly folded, and tn.
glass and silver must be beyond re-
proach. Every good housekeeper now.
adays places PAD beneath the table
cloth. This protects the cloth from
contact with the table, greatly increas
ing its durability. and it ensures per.
feet quiet and an elegant adiustmen,
of the cloth. The use of table mil.
iinery"-that is strips of ribbon, plush
or velvet, and other decorations of g
similar nature-is no longer approved.
so that even at the most elegant dinners
the trough of flowers in the center OF
the table is often the only ornament.
No high dishes or accessories are
seen upon the strictly modern table.
The silver caster may he very beauti-
full in itself, but it has had its day. In
it's place, small pepper and salt
shakes are distributed at convenient
intervals. two of each being sufficient
for IA family of six: while vinegar is
placed in low glass bottles shaped like
fancy pitchers, with handles. long.
slender necks and large, ornamental
glass shoppers. These bottles should
not be more than three inches tall.
Tall celery glasses are also in dis
grace, as are also the silver water
pitcher and high vases of flowers and
tall towering plants. The modern
table is not distigured buv mats, which
are never really ornamental and are
wholly unnecessary if pad is used and
the dishes are not overheated.
Glass carafes are mt present used in
stead of the water pitcher, and add
much to the beauty of the table. They
are by no means expensive. and those
that have rather squat, broad bowls
are to be preferred. Perhaps the most
popular shape is that which looks as
though pressure had been put upon the
top and the bowl thereby bulged out

WOUND TREATMENT.
Dawn of the New Era in Modern Surgical
Science.

Dawn of the New Era III Modern Surgical
Science.
The dawn of the new treatment.
which was ultimately destined to revo-
lutionize the whole subject of wound
treatment. and to lead surgeons into
paths of surgical enterprise which could
never have been dreamed of in earlier
times, was at hand. Sir (then Mr.
Joseph Lister was at work in his labora-
tory in Glasgow and in the wards of
the Royal intirmary at Glasgow. He
had conceived the idea of the antiseptic
treatment of wounds, and was engaged
in celebrating out of it a system which
ever since has borne his name In
brief, his method was based upon the
assumption that the infiammatory
changes occurring in wound, asso-
ciated with suppuration, were due to
microbic infection. Here was con-
viction which seemed to convey with
it an intinity of problems, the solution
of which might rebound to the credit
of surgery.
What vast field for speculation and
experiment it seemed to open out! The
fact, however, having been established
by incontrovertible scientific evidence
that it was the presence of pathogenic
germs in wound which caused all
those deplorable complications of blood
poisoning of which surgeons had SO
much to complain, the next step in the
evolution of the system was compara-
lively an easy one. Naturally the only
thing to be done was to insure the ex-
clusion of all possible sources of infec-
tion. In order To arrive at this desira-
bic condition of things, the most elab-
crate measures were deemed necessary.
Evidently ut the first very serious
view was taken of the wicSedness of
germs, and of their ill;mitablc power
to propagate evil.
The science of bacteriology could
hardly then be said to be in existence,
and all micro-organisms consequently
were able to do very much as they
pleased. but their time came" when
bacteriology blossomed into a sci
ence. The ARCHAEOLOGICAL laboratory
is now the Scotland Yard" of micro
organic life There is so much known
of the evil ways of germs that when
ever an indefnable disease breaks out,
or an epidemic occurs, the first ques-
tions asked are: What and where is
tl.- germ? Then the bacteriologist.
like the detective sent down from the
central police office, proceeds to take
up the case, and 1t Is seldom now that
he fails to drag the evidence before the
tribunal of science, and furnish proofs
by which the micro-organisln can bc

Pingree, of Detroit, and asks if Mr..
Caldwell will join with him in re.
questing George M. Pullman to set
tie the present trouble by arbitration.
The telegram further states that Mr..
Pingree has sent the same message to
the mayors of fifty different cities. 1t
is likely that this movement will be OF
some effect, representing as it does
millions of people. Mayor Caldwell:

able that he will lend his personal in,
