ration of dozens of patches of skin from
different persons in various stages OF
infection revealed the presence In each
one of a micro-organism or protocol,
and his was determined to be the spe-

Next a long series of carefully
guarded experiments We're made on anil
mails known to be susceptible to the dis
ease of smallpox, such as rabbits, etc.
These experiments were for the purpose
of settling definitely the question of the
suspected character of the micro
organism. In every case the introduc-
ton of these PROTOCOL INFO the skins Of
the animals produced unquestionabie
evidence of smallpox infection. 1t was
thereupon deemed certain that the dis
covery was genuine and capable OIL
proof, and the announcement of last
night was the result.
Professor Councilman did not attempt
to go into a discussion Cf the relation OF
his discovery to the determination OF
the exact causes of other diseases, but
he plainly intimated that it would be
only a question of a short time when
such kindred diseases as scarlet fever,
|chickenpox and measles will be vastly
better understood and the specific
causes known. All this, ne added, could
not but be of the widest importance to
medical men, and his discoveries, too,
will inevitably lead to the finding OF
remedies. Indeed, the search for an
a%ntitoxine for smallpox IS already be-
gun. But the greatest importance of the
discovery will be the possibility of GER

SMALLPOX CAUSE is KNOWN.
Or. Councilman of Harvard Discovers
Disease Germ That Causes Small

PONs
Boston, April 29.-At a meeting last
night OF the Boston Medical Society,
Professor William L. Councilman, OF
the Harvard Medical School, made a
formal announcement of the discovery
of the specific cause of smallpox. 1t
was contained in the following words:
THE announcement of the discovery
of the cause of the disease of smallpox
is based on the results of the exper-
iments conducted by myself, George
Burgess Mcgrath, Walter Remsen
Brinkerhoff, and with the cooperation
of the Boston board of health. 1t was
determined hat the disease was due
to micro-organism representative of
the lowest form of animal life. This
fact serves to relate the disease OF
smallpox with malaria, and to dist1n-
guish it from many other Infectious
| diseases caused by minute forms OF
vegetable life known IS bacteria"
He explained that the extraordinary
epidemic of smallpox in Boston winter
before last gave an unusual opportunity
for the investigation of the disease, the
Boston board of health placing at the
disposal Of the investigators every pos
sible facility in the way of specimens
from the skin of infected persons, and
opportunity of watching the progress
of disease in patients.
Professor Councilman related how ne
lcame to the conclusion that the cause OF
the disease resided in the skin OF the

matter of food. The food which your
cavalrymen are given each day is far
too highly seasoned. Plain but substan-
tial food, with no coffee and tea only
occasionally, combined with a thor
ough course of gymnastic exercises ana
a salt water bath every d3y in the week
when in barracks. is what the British
c~avalryman goes thru in order to Keep
himself in perfect physical condition.
Your cavalry have not as yet had a
good opportunity, such as we had IN the
Boer war, to show their staying powers
in a severe campaign. I s,m inclined to
think that if the chance ever comes TO
your mounted regulars the present
mode Of diet will tell its tale In the
enormous sick list. Your cavalry horses,
on the other hand, are perfection and
their like can not be eqi:aled in any
other country"

Of the most decided of the seasons
announcements, nothing but the prop
er pattern (for the material is, or
should be, most carefully shaped prior
to the kiltingl and pressing being re.
CURED. Take, for instance, the first
model here figured. Here we have a
skirt quite plain and tight fitting round
the waist and hips (the all round full
skirts, like those of absolutely curtafl-
ed length, finding few followers yeti,
the killed lounce, increasing in depth
as the back is reached, being added be-
meath a stitched band of the cloth, sim
liar bands being used as the ornamen-
tation of the upper part.
This gives a skirt with a narrow,
very narrow, front gore and a side and
back in one, three seams in all. 1t
should be cut intact in the lining, sell
wage to selvage, joins being made
where necessary to give width enough
for the wide piece.
One of the most popular skirts at the
present moment is found in the second
model, and 1t has the further advantage
of simplicity and straightforwardness,
both of construction and manufacture.
1t answers equally well in q light ma
terial-voile or cashmere, for Instance,
lined. or in cloth and its kindred fab
RIGS, the lining being conspicuous by its
absence. The front and yoke piece are
cut in one, the latter diminishing in
depth as the back is reached. On to
this the skirt proper, set in plaits SO
minute as to be practically tucks, Is
set. AT the back these plaits reverse
themselves, thus forming a narrow box
plat either side Of the center. The
placket hole is contrived down the mid
die of the yoke, and a inferred strap OF
the material pointed downward to the
center Of the plaits is added to make
all s%hipshape.
This skirt looks extremely well for a
walking costume Of cloth, tweed or
frieze with one of the popular little
plated sack boleros.
