There Is one influence that is work

another that has eountenanced and IN

Germs in Sleeping Cars.
Blankets Cleaned at Least Once in
Six Months" .

H b.
In reply to questions about the
cleaning of the blankets in sleeping
cars on certain road, an official of
that road said with an air of indig-
nant virtue that the cleaning took
place AT least once in six months. ,
This is q statement likely to cause un-
eanny feelings in those whose main
object IN life is the lodging of. the
germ. &.
Reflect on the subject. The berth
Iii the sleeping car is furnished with
blankets, sheets, pillows, mattress, and
curtains. OF these, there is evidence
that the sheets are washed every day.
We are told on excellent authority
that the blankets are cleaned twice a
Fyear. We are not told anything about
the cleaning of the pillows, or the
plush curtains, or the bed itself. We
know that every berth is occupied
nearly every night in the year, sell
dom two nights by the same person /;
and we know by observation, all of us
who have spent even one night in a
sleeping car, something Of the per-
sonai habits and character Of the av-
erage traveller. Can it be possible
that under this system the innocent
sleeper is not attacked by germs7
For the last fifteen or twenty years
timorous people have been made I'M
comfortable by reports from various
scientific sources that germs of differ
ent sizes, complexions, and aspects
were flying about in the air seeking
whom they might devour, and that if
even one of these germs found lodg-
n;ent in the human throat or on the
human skin, unpleasant results might
follow. There have been people s.
impressed by these statements that
they have boiled their metal money
and washed and ironed their green
backs. Imagine the CONSERVATION Of
these prudent souls when they find
that they have, every time they travel

saults of uneounted hordes of germs

The Approaching End Of One of ths

field of historical research comparable

another eminent German, the his

This Is not the place, probably, to
dwell IN detail on the achievements of
the modern school Of historians, of
which Mommsen was the most con

extraordinary zeal and diligence, be-

vivid in interest, and fruitful in

cnreality it had been before.
The rejection of the fabulous elx.
ment in the histories of Greece and
Rome, as Morrison wrote, was the first
step, but long one, which it required
many years and much effort to make.
The next was TO obtain a firm grasp

The Gibson Girl.
An Indignant Mother Accuses the Artist
of Spelling American Beauty.

An Indignant Mother Accuses the Artist
of Spelling American Beauty.
At the meeting of the National As
sociation of Mothers not long ago, an
indignant mother expressed opinions
on the Gibson Girl She said that Mr..
Gibson, by his drawings Of girls tail,
slender, and naughty, had caused the
American girl of today to become
angular, gawky, and self-conscious,
and that it would take years to undo
the mischief that the fashion set by
him had done.
Of course, we have all noted the
prevalence of the Gibson girl on the
public highways, and seen the maidens
who were but yesterday demure.

shirt-waists and uptilted chins, look

but we had never really blamed Mr..
Gibson for it. If he can only draw

to worry over permanent conse-
quences in the way of angular
maidens made by the Gibson fashion
Any woman who can take up the
kangaroo walk in a week, as most of
them did, can adapt herself to some
other model Of beauty or fashion with
equal ease. If some artist comes into
style whose talent lies in dimples and
curls and frills, it will be surprising
to see how fast the angles will disap-
pear and the curves round themselves
out, and the dimples blossom like
dandelions on the first warm spring
day. There is no reason to be uneasy
over the permanent adaptation Of the
American girl to any one type. She
IS creature Of infinite resource and
sagacity.
