FRENCH ART OF TODAY.
Only the Genius of the People Keeps I
ErOm Hopeless DebasemeDt

Only the Genius of the People Keeps 1t
Prem Hopeless Debasement
For years all the art roads have led TO
Paris. 1t is today the center of the art
world, model of taste, skill and knowl-
edge as well as a hotbed of eccentrici-
ties, mannerisms, stilted affectations
and small trickeries 1t takes in the
world, takes credit for all its virtues
and is saddled with all its vices. 1t is
ruled by the quips and cranks of what
at times seems outrageous fortune; it is
magnified and belittled; it is over
praised and underpraised; it seems to be
rising to lofty heights at times and then
again to be sinking into the mire 1t is
at once the best and the worst art CEN
ter in the world, crucible where all
elements mix, all become allowed. and
yet all average up a reSpecrauIc tsrr.,sv-
of amalgam. That which keeps it from
hopeless debasement is the art genius of
the French people. Has that art genius
ever reached is apogee? Has it fulfilled
its mission and voiced the finer feelings
of France, as painting once did in Italy
and Spain? Did we accept the exhibit
at the Worlds fair as criterion we
might think her day was about finished,
that her artists had said all there was
for them to say. but the representation
was inadequate.
The French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiness displayed there. for
all the studio recitation, all the exag-
gerated realism, all the tawdry senti-
ment, and yet at heart they have little
sympathy with them. The academic
was foisted upon them early in life by
the example of Italy and the misdirect-
ed energy of royalty Poussin or Lebrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy up
held the academic because it smacked
of heroism and the empire because it
fostered the military spirit, but the re-
public has barely tolerated it, and the
radicals have always hated it. 1t is the
bette noir of French art, against which
there has been long series of reyolu-
tons Why, if not that it fails to repre-
sent the French? They are fond enough
of talking about such loyalists as Pous-
sin, David, Ingres and Cabanel, but the

foreign imitation than the outcrop of

ABS0g a PURE
PREmoNlTloNs or DEATH.

Soldiers Who Have Gone Into Certain Bat
ties Perfectly Conscious of Their Fate.
Soldiers had strange premonitions of
death before going into battle during
the war, said an old soldier ST could
not tell you how many times have seen
my comrades feretell their death They
seemed 60 feel it was coming and went
into battle fully prepared to meet their
end. So common was this, and so regu-
larly did death follow when foretold, that
often heard officers upbraiding their
men for speaking of death, remarking:
"A man never speaks of a fear of death
without death following shortly after
It's like the smallpox; the one that
breads it most is sure to be the first vic
tim. But the officers were reasoning
backward. In all the cases saw the pre-
diction of death was caused by an in
ward feeling, telling that his end was
near

Mcclellan, as we used to call him, who
came from Butler county He had been
a brave soldier, serving his full three
years, never once failing in his duty.
The day before his three years were up
he went into the battle of the Wilder
ness. He was so pale and careworn and
lacked SO much the usual vigor with
which he entered battle that some Of
his friends remarked how changed he
was He looked Like ghost and was
trembling all over. They asked him
what was the matter. Why he re-

But this only made the soldier break

VILLAGE DESTROYER. =
Forest Fires Doing Great Damage in New
Jersey.

OcTHcy.
Eco HARBoR CRY, N. j., July 49,.
There is no end yet to the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity
for the past week. Tuesday an entire
village was wiped out. The flames that
had been sweeping towards Bridgeport
were turned aside by the wind, and
during the early hours of the morning
they reached point near the little
hamlet Of Greenbush. The residents,
in the meantime, had driven their live
stock to place of safety, and when 1t
became apparent that the village was
doomed they loaded their household eff
fects into wagons and hurried them
away. Much still remained to be
moved when the flames reached the
houses. The village stood in the little
clearing in the pine belt, and the stacks
of hay and the dry wooden buildings
proved even better food for the ele-
ments than the woods around. The
villagers had been forced to flee long
before this and are now encamped in q
clearing some miles away. In addition
to the destruction of this village, many
residences and barns have been de-
etroyed -

MODERN SURGERY.
The Large Part That Absolute Cleanliness
Plays In Its Operations.

Tie Large Part That Absolute Cleanliness
Plays In Its Operations.
There are three locations, so to speak,
the absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator is
justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments and the integument covering
the part of the patients body at which
the operation is about to be performed.
How is the requisite cleanliness in each
case secured? So far as the hands are
concerned, by profuse scrubbing with a
nailbrush in soap ard hot water, fol-
lowed by thorough drenching in some
antiseptic solution, as that of in 2, 900
of perchloride of mercury. So far as
the instruments are concerned, by ster-
liking thenl-that is, by boiling them
in water, or by passing them through
the fame of a spirit lamp, or placing
them in steam sterilizer, and then,
when the operator is ready to begin, by
putting them into a receptacle contain
ing an antiseptic solutions, for exam
pie, that of carbolic acid. Lastly, SO
far as the patients integument is con-
oerned, by washing the part first thor
oughly with soap and water, having
previously shaved it, if necessary, and
afterward with perchloride of mercu-
ny solution, or, if the part be greasy,
by removing oil tho greasy material by
scrubbing it with ether. al
Without going into further details
these are the cardinal precepts of the
science of operating in the present day.
Of course each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use of antiseptic dressings until
healing has taken place. The results OF
this method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compar-
ison with those which the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain. What hap
pens after, say, the amputation OF q
limb nowadays? The rule is, nothing
nothing, that is to say, beyond the IN
eyentful convalescence of the patient
The dressings are not touched unless
the, temperature and the pulse OF the pa
tient indicate, by some disturbance, that
it would be expedient to examine the
wound. The temperature and the pulse
are the surgeons guide. He takes his
cue from them. Nothing can be amiss
in, the wound if these remain normal
and thus it follows that q large wound,
such as that following an amputation,
heals soundly from first to last without
any suppuration. What contrast with
that which obtained in former daysi
Suppuration was then thought to be an
indispensable part of the healthy proc
ess Of healing. In the present time, ON
the contrary. surgeon is held to have
failed in his practice of the principles OF
surgical cleanliness if, in wounds orig
inally aseptic, suppuration occurs. -
