 Future historians. iu telling of the wondrous days of the closing of this ccn- tury. may probably describe this age tn which We live as the'mlcrob" age. Those of us who are outsid. the pale of bac- teriology sometimes wonder why We are not killed several times over by the mi- crobcs that mrk in the water We drink and in the air We breathe. lt is lucky for the rac, that no opticiau has as yet in- vented spect1cles which would enable us Co see the millions of microbes fighting each other around us. for th" honor of giving us a death blow.

 A New York physician recently saw one Of his momen patients walking along Fin avenue. and he noticed that sh" wore a long. trailing skirt She had a fine figure and the long skirt added Co her regal charms. but the physician observed that the long skirt faithfully fulfilled the vo- cation of 70 scavenger-it gathered and bore along pieces of lose paper. orange skins. refuse. and. no doubt. our friend the microb..

 Henry Laboucherc. member of the British Parliament. recently stated tn his newspaper. known as Truth. that when the British Parliament rcasscm- blcs. in January, a bin will be Intro duced having for It's object the compul- sory disinfection of the trailing skirts of women before their wcarcrs arc per mittcd to enter theatres or other pub lie places. In London the complaint is made that most women think it unfash- fashionable to nit their trailing dresses and skirts when walking over a muddy crossnlg. Next day they wonder how they have caught cold. lt k related that when the first great Eiass house was built. nearly fifty years ago, in Hyde Park. London.
