our knowledge is put to practical use, and
to sec old customs still unchanged, old
habits which wo know to be obstructive
carried on, and to find the housemaid on
her knees, with her brush and dustpan,
stirring up dust to tho dutrlment Of every
one, and breathing germ laden particles
to her own destruction,

OF all ways Of removing dirt from car
