The point for emphasis, how ever, says the Journal Of the Ameri- can Medical Association, is the fact that such differences. amounting at best to only Is per cent, are too small 5 to possess any serious significance from the point of view of practical hygiene The argument for the sl1- periority of gas lighting in this re- spect can scarcely be maintained.

THE HYGIENE OF GAS LIGHTING.

When an innovation in the indus trial world tends to replace some older; long established practice one frequently sees $ vigorous defensive ,respon on the part of the support CTS of tho process that is being out distanced. This reaction usually rebounds to the advantage or all con- cerned. It spurs the losers to re- newed effort to regain lost prestige, and the end result not .infrequently is the discovery or invention of novel; ties which improve the conditions of existence and reduce the cost of Iiv- ing. AS a specific instance of such commercial rivalry, which is widely reflected in the affairs of everyday life, the competition between gas and electricity may be mentioned. Usual- ly the determining factor in the use light effects is a purely economic one. Electric lighting, when once perfect ed to a stage where it became an eff ficient and reasonably economical process. threatened to supplant gas lighting within doors for purely hygienic reasons. The pollution of the air by the products of incomplete combustion of the illuminating ma terfal is avoided by the electric light Large quantities of hot conbusti b1e gases are not formed and need mot be removed. The contract in the
 
 by the two systems is too obvious to require a detailed description. The defenders of the modern systems of illumination with gas have advanced certain consideration quite inde- pendent of the relative intensity and quality of the light produced. They claim that the great production of heat in gas-light fixtures brings about a natural ventilation effect through the air currents 1t produces, so that the products of combustion, notably carbon dioxide are never all lowed to accumulate undu1y in the temperature is also prevented by the movement of the air. To this has been added the statement that, with gas lighting, the micro-o organisms of the air in the rooms involved are de stroyed by thes flame itself and like I wise by the traces of combustion products like suIphurous acid which | exhibit an antiseptic action. The aI- legations in respect to the effect of gas lighting on the bacterial content 1 of the air have been investl gated in the Hygienic Institute of the Univers- l ity at Munich by Ahlborn. In a room of 57 cubic meters capacity under uniform artificial circulation of the atmosphere, the number of bacteria in the air decreased 24 per 1 cent. in one hour. Under precisely comparable conditions, including the presence of three large gas light flames with open globes, the mum

 Every girl has some idea of what kind of a beau she would like. On the list of likes she puts down: "He must be agreeable, good-Iooking, pop ular, in fact, a man I could look up to and be proud of.'' If that girl is introduced to two men at the same time, one a masculine. fashion plate, suaye of manner, whose eyes can flat ter as well as his tongue, and who has the knack of charming her-what chance has the bashful young man who is with him of holding her attenr tion?
 His clothes may be of excellent quail ity, but he hasn't the kanck of wear confused and shutters when he tries to talk. He is i'll at ease. When he opens his mouth he is sure to say the wrong thing. He tries desperately to pay her a compliment but fails. If he attempts to tell her that she looks like a red. red rose, he is more apt to twist it and say she looks like a red, red, rooster.
 He is mortified at his blunder when he sees how angry she gets. He is a diamond in the rough, but young fem mine hearts do not make allowances for this. The man with the hattering tongue will leave the outspoken rough diamond far behind in lovenaking. The datterer aootl1es her pride; the honest youth, careless of his words, ruff1es her temper. Nine women out of ten, if they do not know the wor1d,l will trust their 1ife's happiness to the man who knows how to pay them a. honeyed compliment; hold their hand, whisper low and sweet into their ear; cal them ssGiT1ie'' and imply by their actions that life would be nothing for them if they had to live without them.
 Even widows, who are supposed to not proof against being caught in the how old she is, she likes to be told that she looks as fair and sweet as a young girl That young women could profit by taking lessons from her in modesty and the art Of drawing a mans heart from his bosom, whether he will or no.
 Fathers and brothers know the Hat terer, this stamp of man, very we'll. They tell their women folks that all he says is mere lip service, not from the heart. They have no end of trou- ble in making, them believe it. They are sure to believe that an innocent man is being maligned. pitying him all the more. All the datterer has to do to get into the good graces of the silly woman is to talk a. little love to her. Then all the kings horses could not draw her from his side She believes \ him. There are women who are not to be deceived by the dattering tongue. l They know that he must have had much experience to be such an adept at 1ovemakings Women should beware from the outset of the men who begin
