The publication of Tyndall's "Essays on the Floating Matter of the Air in Relation to Putrefaction and Infection," in 1881, gave a great impulse to the new practice; but that practice had been already confirmed by the great and original work of Sir Joseph Lister, an English surgeon who as early as 1860 had introduced the antiseptic method of bandaging.

The white wave at the bows indicated that the vessel was steaming fast and it did not look as if she was going to stop. In order to reach the channel across the bar, she must pass near the hulk, and Lister waved to the captain. "What about the coal?" he shouted.

If the leakage was not excessive, her bow ought to rise when the next tide flowed. For some hours he kept his watch, dragging himself wearily about the engine and pump. He had helpers, but control was his, and to an engineer a machine is not a dead mass of metal. Lister, so to speak, felt the pump had individuality and temperament, like a spirited horse.

If you study the sales people, you can sometimes tell how a store is run." "That's so. Those girls don't want to grumble. They're treated all right." "Oh, well," said Lister, "since I don't know much about enameled goods and deerskin truck, I'm glad I've not got stung." When he went off the other smiled, for a hotel clerk is not often cheated, and he thought he saw where Lister's remarks led.

most obedient and most humble servant, Th: Jefferson. LETTER CXXXVII. TO LISTER ASQUITH, November 23, 1785 Paris, November 23, 1785. Sir, I have received your letter of the 14th instant. It was not till the 8th of this month, that I could obtain information from any quarter, of the particular court in which your prosecution was instituted, and the ground on which it was founded.

"What's matter with thee?" said his mother as he entered the house. "Nowt's matter wi' me." "Ay, but there is. Thou'st bin' drinkin' agean." "Weel, and what if I have? It's cost me nowt." "Ay, I know: thou'st been to the Thorn and Thistle after that Polly Powell lass. Ay, you ninny. I thought you looked higher nor that. What about Alice Lister?"

Irving W. Ziegaus, secretary to Governor Lister, testified that the letter concerning Everett sent from the Seattle I. W. W. had been received; Steven M. Fowler identified certain telegrams sent from Everett to Seattle officials by David Clough on November 5th; after which Chester Micklin, who had been jailed in Everett following the tragedy, corroborated parts of the story of Louis Skaroff.

There was one she liked specially, and always took care not to tread upon: Jane Lister Deare Childe. Aged 6 Years. 1629. By degrees she had built up a history about this little girl, and felt that she knew her quite well, so that she was always glad to pass her resting-place and say something to her in her thoughts.

A few days after his visit to the factory, Lister sat one morning under a tarpaulin they had stretched across the hulk. The paint on the canvas smelt as if it burned, but the awning gave some shade and one could not front the sun on the open deck. The sea breeze had not sprung up and dazzling reflections played about the oily surface of the swell.

A big box carried an iron wash-basin, and a small table some drawing instruments. Lister was not fastidious, and, as a rule, did not stop long enough at one spot to justify his making his shack comfortable. Besides, he found it necessary to concentrate on his work, and had not much time to think about refinements. All the same, he felt the shack was dreary and his life was bleak.
