to make a COW laugh. There is only one sort OF person
who is funnier, and that is one who Is just as hopelessly
good form. Some form is so good that it is bad, and
people WHO are afflicted with this laborious sort are truly
ponderous. Their efforts are as unlike the consummate
social grace of those to the manner born as Is the pay
ing of the person we used to call 2 "bumble puppy" at
whist to that of the real whist player. The humble pup
py," however, is all right, because he thinks he is.
1t IS only when we become n little bit doubtful OF our
own success that we begin to be pitiable, and people KICK
us from pillar to. post. People like impudence; they like
dupllcity they like vanity; they like display. II you
are meek and modest, mild and meritorious, just get
ready to turn the other cheek, for you will have reason
to do so.
If the thought that perhaps, after all, you are not the
smartest thing in town begins to creep into your deiuded
Uranium, eXpel it, as you would any other poisonous SEN
timent. Remember you are the center of the universe,
and let that thought console you; give your hat a little
tilt over your nose and step out jauntily, for If you stink,
somebody will throw 4 rock at you or tie a tin can to
your coat tail.

NO PROTECTION FROM HENS.
Chicago Journal

Bfcycliat injured Through the Fault
Of One Fails to Get Damages.
American wheelmen are likely to be
interested in the decision Of the Kings
Bench Divisional court in the hen-bicy-
Gle case, says the London correspond
emit Of the New York Times.
A hen scratching worms ut the side
of a public road was frightened by q
dog and few cross the highway into
the spokes Of a bicycle on which 4
young nan was taking a holiday spin.
and badly hurt The machine was ruin
ed The bicyclist sued the owner of
the hen for damages.
In the County Court the Judge found
for the defendant, holding that In or
der for the plaintiff to recover he must
show either that it was the usual habit
OF hens to fly into the spokes Of bicycles
or that the hen in question had ac-
quired that habit There vas no evil
dence Of either sort and, therefore, 1t
could not be alleged that the owner of
the hen should have kept her chained
or locked up in order to prevent the
hen from interfering with the sports OF
b~icyclists.
The plaintiff, not satisfied with this
decision, carried the case to the Di-
v~isional court, but the two learned
Judges Of that court sustained the
County Court judge, so, as the law
stands to-day, he who rides a wheel
on English highways is pretty much at
| the mercy of the highway hen.

AT A PERSIAN TABLE.

The new Shah of Persia, according to
a recent newspaper article, succeeds to
a most magnificent kitchen, the stoves,
pokers, tongs, and even the coffee-mills
of which are made Of solid silver.
What is not of silver is of copper,
heavily gilded. All the dishes, knives,
forks and such utensils are of gold, set
with precious stones. The kitchen it
self is a work of art. Its ceiling is of
wondrous lacquer, II its pillars of
marble and onyx. 1t is an apartment
fit for Aladdin's whims rather thar a
place Of cookery. MI. Wills, III Per
STA As 1t Is" gives an account Of Per
sian culinary matters, and also de-
scribes the beautiful sherbet-spoons Of
the country, which, although not made
of gold or silver, are highly priced.
The meals of the Shah are not social
occasions, and he knows little of the
benefit of jollity combined with the act
of eating. His breakfast takes place
at IL, a solitary meal, the monarch
squatting before fifty dishes or more.
From these he selects a few Of the
simplest, and quenches his thirst with
iced sherbets.
Dead silence reigns; the royal but
lers hand the magnificent plates and
bowls without Il sound.
Dinner is eaten at 8 in the evening,
and differs from the morning meal in
elaboration and the fact that it is en-
livened by a band. ..
The food is very varied and the cook
ing ~extravagant, Lambs, roasted whole
and stuffed with almonds, ~raisins,
dates Il pistachio-nuts. and sparrow
and pomegranate coup enter into the
delicacies OF the cuisine. Sherbets
are a ~favorite drink. They are merely
water sweetened and favored with
fruits, and iced. -a..
This sherbet is drunk from large
wooden spoons, deiicately carved and
of great value. A man often shows
his wealth IN the great variety and
costliness of his sherbet-spoons. They
are made OF pear wood, and are from
one to two feet in length, with bowls
which sometimes hold a tumblerful.
The carving is as fine and elaborate
as lace-work. and the wood in places
is cut so hin as to be translucent. The
bowls are often ornamented with in
scriptions. AN oil with which they
are treated darkens the originally
light-coloreG wood. No two spoons are
exactly alike. and some are real works
of art.
The Persian considers a silver spoon
an abomination to touch to the lips.

crobes. Following his own researches
Lister attended clinics given by Syme,
the foremost physician of the day.
In 1860, Lister was appointed profes-
sor OF surgery at the University of
Glasgow. 1t was while acting as sur
geon to the royal infantry that he made
the discovery which initiated the new
era in surgery. Before that time al
most all wounds, accidental and sur
gical alike, underwent a process of in
tiammation and suppuration, accom-
panied by much pain and loss of health.
The most trivial operations were not
infrequently followed by death. Many
patients died rather than face the hor.
rors Of IN operation. Erysipelas te
tanus and hospital gangrene were al
most constantly present in hospital
wards.
There was no knowledge of the
causes Of these diseases. They We're
considered to be constitutional. The
physician took no blame or RESPONSE
bility. Death was simply the victims
misfortune.
Such an appalling state Of affairs
acted on Lister and he decided to
solve the trouble, if possible. At about
this time Pasteur demonstrated the
fact of the existence of the germ and
that putrefaction and decomposition
were caused by certain micro-organ-
isms thai came from without. Lister
applied this knowledge to the cause of
wound diseases. .
The great deductions which Lister
made were Cd that 'putrefaction-' i Il
wounds was caused by microbes, (2)
that these were introduced from the
outside, (3) that "p~utrefaction' might
be prevented by keeping the wound
free from germs, (4) that this might
be effected by the employment Of some
substance which would destroy tile
microbe. The antiseptic system was
founded on these principles. Starting,
then, with the idea Of destroying, by
an antiseptic substance, the germs in
the wound, in everything csming in
contact with the wound, such as in
struments, and in it's surroundings,
Lister made his original tests with car
bolic acid-a fortunate selection, for it
is still regarded as one of our best
germicides.
He gave his method a thorough trial.
It proved successful. Now cases Of
gangrene and the like rarely follow
operations. Thousands of lives have
been saved by this discovery. 1t
has revolutionized surgery.
