BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS TRANSMITS.
SlDl.E.

One OF the results OF the discoveries of
Professor Behring, who announced TO the
tuberculosis congress his development of
} cure for consumption. is the overthrow
Df the theory of DIR. Koch that bovine
tuberculosis is not transmissible to the
particular interest in this section Of the
country owing to the extent to which the
Koch theory figured in connection with
the war over over the bovine tuberculosis
years ago.
For the present the public is compelled
to take Professor Behring's word in rcla-
ton to the value of his discovery of a
cure for consumption. but the fact that
he is the discovorer Of the anti-dipth-
eretic serum. which has proved such a
boon to suffering humanity tends to in
cline people to accept his statements in
relation to his work. lie says he has not
perfected his discovery and consequently
will not give it to the public at this time,

ton in the thorouglness and fnality Of
the cure" He says that the new rcmed,
is not n serum or a vaccine. and that il
is not Il preventive but a cure. The dis.
covercr has confidcd his secret to Met,
chinkoff and Eoux of tho Pasteur In,
6titute in Paris, SO that in the event o.
his sudden dcccasc. the remedy will mo-
be lost to the world,
In tho meantime IL Is worthy of not,
that the tuberculosis congress was thor
Oushly impressed by Behring's discover
ies, and inclined to support his position
in relation to the sources and Treatment
of consumption. 1t appeared to be prac
ideally the unanimous opinion of the con
gress that the bovine bacillus was mor'
dangerous that the human bacillus itself

ARRANGEMENT OF FLOWERS
Few People Know How to Dispose Of
Blossoms with Due Regard
to Form and Color.

Nothing is more frequent in our
homes, and more especially in our gar
dens, than to see good things either
misused or merely got together without
any attempt to classify or to reconcile
or to harmonise. Already it is the rule
rather than the exception that arrange
ments Of flowers in rooms are made in
good taste. It is generally understood
that the old tightly-bunched mixed bou-
quets Of years ago are things of the past.
In country houses the mistress or her
daughters arrange the table flowers
with simple good taste, using one kind
Of flower at a time, or some pretty mix
ture Of not more than two or three kinds
of blossom and foliage They also
choose their flowers SO as to suit the coli
oring Of the walls, and soon get to know
the kinds and colors Of the blooms that
seem most happy to accord with the
various places where it Is desirable to
have the bouquets They find that the
room insists on having certain things in
certain places. One place may ask for
white flowers with rather bright green
foliage, and one finds that it is gratified
by being given Solomon's seal, or tall
white tulips, or great branches Of white
lilac; and later, white roses in large
sprays Of arching, or sheaves Of up
springing. blossom. Another place may
demand those Of su orange color, and re-
ceives the great orange lilies or alstro-
merias, or orange day lily, or African
marigold. Another again wants Grim
son, and has tulips-the tall May-fow-
ering knds-and, later, the old garden
paeonies, red, rose, and pink, and then
rhododendrons. and so on throughout
the year.

CASES FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
The Album Has Been Supplanted by
Fancy Boxes and Various Kinds Of
Leather and Silk Receptacles.

The good, old-fashioned album, bound
in desirable quality Of leather, is not to
be found in department store nor book

rather, many boxes, supplemented by
pliable leather receptacles resembling
glove and handkerchief cases, and for
unmounted photographs, the camera

Boxes for use in the drawing room
are covered with exquisite silk tapes
tries. A mauye tapestry, showing
stripes of tiny pink roses, forms the
cover for oIe Of these boxes. The
edges are bound with mauve braid and
bullion, and a large square piece Of glass
in the center of the lid reveals the con-
tents Of the receptacle. These boxes
are big enough to hold the large size por-
trait photographs, and can be ordered
in silk or tapestry to match the decora-
ton of the side walls. In this same size,
but heavier and more costly, are the
boxes Of beaten brass and bronze. These
have figures Of cupids or pastoral scenes
carved iii bold relief on the sides and lid
and stand on four low carved legs. A
carved box plated with silver showed the
reclining figure Of Father Neptune sur
rounded by water nymphs.
The housekeeper with scores offamily
pictures to care for will appreciates

particularly handsome box Of this sort
has a figure of st. George on a fiery steed
carved on the hinged cover and outlined

also shown on boxes Of weathered oak,
from which rugged Indians head, the
spreading antler Of deer or the figure
OF bear stand out as if nodded in
bronze. The thistle is another fayorite
design for carved wood.
Long, flexible leather cases contain
two pockets for photographs and are
tied with a silk cord and tassel Among
