Life without Microbes.

LIE Without Microbes.
The oft-debated question 40 to
whether there can be life without mi.
crobes 10 held to have been solved by
NJ. Michel Cohendy Of the Pasteur In.
stitute Of Paris, who has reared live
chickens In an enclosed space which
was quite free from microbes. BY the
use Of an ingenious apparatus for
Matching the chickens and then rails.
ing them for q certain time, he was
able to produce animals which did not
contain any microbes, and they were
able to live. and appeared to be a.
healthy as usual. His apparatus
served in the first place az an incu.
bator for Matching the eggs and then
as q chamber where the chickens are
able to live as long as may be de.
sired. M. Cohendy kept the chickens
in his apparatus for 45 days. and the
contents Of their digestive organs,
blood and so on. were found to be free
from microbes. Those that were kept
alive did not seem to suffer at all from
being Transferred to the germ-laden
atmosphere, for they grew up success.

cpean fashions originate with the ar
istocracy and are patterened with no
idea OF utility and are therefore un-
adapted to American conditions.
The middle classes in Europe still
constitute comparatively small ele-
ment and their needs must suffer be-
cause of the magnihed importance Of
the aristocracy.
In America, whore we have come
at least somewhere near our ideal OF
equality, we are fast developing a
style OF architecture and home fur
nishing suited to wholesome, grow

For covering, leather is still used
to some extent, but because OF the

The Magic Word sanitary"
II is generally considered that all
furnishing must start with the floor,
therefore, that Is where we win be-
gin.
For some time past there has been

going on in this country a great move
ment for more sanitary conditions,
not only in what I'VE eat use and wear,
but the very house we live in The
first step In this direction was the
large percentage Of houses having at
least two or three rooms foored with
hard wood. This, among other things
has given great rise to the vogue rugs
instead cf carpets. Indeed, this vogue
went so far that many people who
had merely pine floors I'm their rooms
laid Gown rugs and painted the edges
of the floor. This has not been en-
tirely satisfactory, and now the pen
dulum is wlngng the other way again,
and those who are in close touch with
lhe market realize that theer is a larg-
er demand for carpeting than for
some years past.
1t is stated that the advent of the
vacuum cleaner has also favored the
return Of carpets.
One fact little known regarding
floor covering Is that America leads
ana has always led the world in this
particular branch Of industry 1t was
in this country that the first power

WnlI Coverings

Styles i'm wall coverings have made
as marked an advance as carpets and
furniture.
We have learned that 1t is the duty
OF a wall covering to be inconspicu-
GUS to form background for the fur
nishings of the room.
In the bedrooms it is well that this
background be light and cheerful
with PERHAPS q small figure or stripe
with an attractive border, which Is
often an appllqued effect
In the living room and library a
little darker tone can be usel to ad-
vantage Greens and browns are very
effective and are often used with
little or no border effect.
: In the dining-room n deep red is
always a cheerful and inviting color
and while brown and green are al
ways largely used the red. If well
selected, gives a cheerfulness that Is
very pleasant indeed. Tapestry pa

Drapcrics.
Never has there been so wide a
range of dralpery fabrics used as at
the present time.
For the portieres, etc, high grade
Of repp, gobelin tapestry, velour,
either double faced or a combination
of velour and tapestry. etc. are still
used in the large majority of houses
In the city apartments, where the
rooms are small, and. as one man puts
1t, placed very close together" these
hangings are too heavy to be entirely
pleasing.
For this reason the lighter weight
fabrics. known generally as madras.
vegetable silks. lightweight mercer
lied fabrics and even such materials
as printed scrlms are used in apart
ments to quite u large extent.
As is usual with a new thing, the
use of these fabrics spread also to the
more roomy homes but there is little
likelihood OF their being used to any
extent there Indeed, there seems to
be an indication OF the return of the
heavier fabrics, for the lightweight
fabrics in "man's-size' house have
a rather flimsy effect and sway with
every little passing gust OF wind
In the windows, however, these fab
'ics are very largely used for over
lrapes and in soft colors are strik-
ngly attractive.

AS to the pattern of the floor COW

noticed by our foreign friend above
referred to Is the tendency toward

always be a demand for rugs with O

in some grades of Oriental rugs. hut

Leaving the living room and library
We can also find n trace of the semi.
tary idea throughout the dining room,
bedroom and nursery.
In these rooms there has been a
surprising increase In the use of lin
oleums, with merely a small rug here
and there thrown down to give relief
from the general severeness Of this
material. OF course, the idea has
teen to make these rooms more sani-
tary and more easily cleaned. but this
idea has been helped and fostered by
the manufacturers, who are now pre-,
senting much wider range Of pat
terms than ever before.
one OF the Innovations In this line
has been the Introduction OF mating
and novelty patterns, both of which
are proving very popular.

"The American people," said dis
tinguished foreigner recently, "are de-
veloping a taste in house furnishing
that is astonishing to those who have
been used to thinking of America as
new country"
1t Is not likely that we will take ex-
ceptton to the remarks of our foreign
friend on this subject, in spite OF the
fact that they carry little back slap.
The facts stand ais stated. In the
past decade or so the widespread inn
pro- emen. in home furnishing is little
short of striking And right here we
can take a slap at Europe. for 1t has
only been since America began more
anlH more to disregard European die
tates that our homes have improved
both in beauty and utility.
All of us remember the days when
there were two classes of people in
America--the ones who had some
money and assiduously followed Paris
and London. and those whose sole
idea in life was a front parlor with in
grain carpet and set OF haircloth
furniture. Indeed, most of us re.
member the hair cloth very well, from
efforts to divide our attention between
the people in the room, the continual
danger OF slipping and the insldlous
little horse hairs working their way
through our garments and finding
tender, places in our skin.
Paris Styles.
There are two styles of furnishing
In Paris. supposedly the fashion cen
ter of the world. neither OF which IL
1 suitable to America. One has been
called the Intensified French style. 1t
consists of examining every nook and
corner of the room with hangings,
trimmings or furnishings of some
kind. and then, for good measure
adding a vase of artificial flowers.
The other Partisan type is one that
started In Venice and runs strongly
to straight lines and black and white
trimmings.
The particular reason that Europe
can furnish us nothing Is that I'VE have
stepped so far In advance Of Europe
in the culture of the masses. Eur

madras fabrics Is the fact that they
are now made by a number of manu-
tacturers in sun fast dyes, and are
therefor durable as well as pretty.
Another form of overdrape that has
been and continues to be both popu-
lar and pretty is that made from the
printed fabrics such as cretonned, ct
amines, etc.
These materials are often chosen to
match the wall papers and are FIN
ished with an applique which matches
the border of the wall covering For
bedrooms in particular this treatment
Of the room is an artistic one.
While we are speaking of the bed
room it might be wen to mention that
rdplicas of the old four-poster bed
OF colonial days are being sold to
large extent and especially in rooms
furnished as last described make an
almost ideal combination.
As to the curtains, the choice here
is even wider than in the colored fab
rics. This has come abotl. largely
because of the great increase i'm the
number Of bungalow and similar types
of houses where the windows are ir-
ifBuldI III size anu IbtullOHs
In the more dignined rooms. such
as the living room and library, the
curtains are used at fun length. as
has been customary for years. but in
the bedrooms. nursery, and even in
the dining-room, the predominant
style Is the sash-length curtains.
Where an overdrape Is used the cur
| tain is often Of a fine cross-bar ma
terial with either merely Il hemmed
edge or a light applique
Porchcs.
In this day and generation, when
we believe in living out OF doors as
much as possible, the porch gets
nearly as muoh attention as any Of
the inside rooms.
AZ TO the furnishing. there are a
number of good ami serviceable rugs
to be procured. These are usually Of
a green or brown color the best being
made either of grass or a jute fab
rlc. Each of these types of rug has its
special advantage.
OF course, on the porches we look |
for naturally, wicker furniture
Sometimes this Is painted green to |

one thing which our foreign friend !
did not say which IT is well to men II
ton Is the fgct that America is fast
