MICROBES OF MALARIA.
What Passes for Them Just Elk
hibited in London,

Somewhat conflicting notions are still
entertained by those who have investi-
gated the causes of malaria as to the
genuineness of the alleged microbes
which are associated with the disorder.
The old theory was that specific poi
son, originating dn soil full of decaying
matter, would be thrown out into the
air when the earth was disturbed by
excavation, ard from shallow water into
which sewage drained.
This mischievouS agent was not Tor
merry considered a living organism
But several psychologists think that
they have identified bacillus which
causes malarial troubles, and two or
three experts have found these forms
of life in great abundance in mosuui-
toes. DR.. Manson and Surgeon Major
Ross of England, have thus been led
to suggest that the mosquito is largely
responsible for the dissemination OF
malaria
Two criticisms have been made of the
microbe theory. 1t is asserted by Dir.
Laurie of India, that the objects seen
by Ross, Manson and others are not
parasites, but products of a diseased
spleen. Again, it is alleged that mala-
ria abounds I'M parts of Italy where the
mosquito is never seen. The latter
fact merely exculpates the mosquito
however. 1t do $ not d spi owe the exis-
tence of a. malarial microbe.
Fresh attention is drawn to the mat
ter by series of exhibits at the latest
conversazi one of the Royal Society in
London. In confederation of their views
DR.. Manson and Surgeon Major Ross
showed a number of specimens of the
parasite under the microscope. The de-
velopment OF the creature was Illus
trated by showing it in different par s
4of~the mosquito Excessively. 1t was
thus traced all of the way t. the in
sect's poison gland and thence down
his or her proboscis. 1t is only the
female mosquito, naturalists tell us,
that bites. 81 ~
Surgeon Major Ross is of the opinion
that the mosquito capable of carrying
this contagdon is of a peculiar species.
and that its extinction may be looked
for at no distant date. OF course. this

About Perfumes.

The too free use of perfumes about Tho
person has been avoided for many
years, and held inadmissible in good So
ciety, the merest hint of faint odol
being all that was possibly allowed. Re-
Gently this edict of good taste has 1ot
been SO strictly regarded, and such per-
fumes as violet and sandal-wood, both
of them expensive ones when pure, to-
in favor again. 1t is quite likely that
the very general wearing of large
punches of violets has led the way TO
this.
1t is not easy to eradicate the love
of perfumes any way, for the nerves
made to appreciate them will always de-
mand satisfaction; and since the race,
civilized or uncivilized, has existed, the
love of perfumes has existed too. Even
animals are sensitive to perfumes; and
it used to be said that one OF the helps
of the great horse-tamer Rarey was a
bunch of violets.
Emperors, and priests, and people in
power, have always been lavish in their
use of perfumes. Saladin washed down
the walls of the Mosque of Omar with
rose water to make the Mohammedan
heaven more attractive. Some of the
hours were declared to have bodies of
pure musk. The Turk has always been
more fond of musk than the Occidental
is
At later period than that of Rich
ards great foe one of the French mon
archs-Louis Quinze, we think-used a
different perfume for every day in the
year, although some of the shades OF
variance must have been infinitesimal.
1t was a poetical custom of the court at
about that period for two lovers to use
the same perfume.
Our grandmothers, and theirs before
them, sometimes scented their hair
dressings by means of an apple stuck
full of cloves and spices, kept long
time in the pomade, which was perhaps
as simple method and provided as
simple an aroma as could have been
invented. They loved, too, the odor
of patchouli, with Which everything
coming from India or China in those
rich old days of the India trade was
loaded-somewhat too powerfully for
modern taste; but perhaps they loved
the scent more for its association with
the wonderful shawls and scarfs and
stuffs which it accompanied than for
itself.-Harper's Bazaar @
