INFECTION DUE TO SHAVING.
A London Medical Journal Says 30
Your own Barber.
From, the London Lancet

From the London Lancet
Notwithstanding that the subject has re-
Gently given rise to some discussion in the
daily press, there can be no reasonable
doubt as to the causation of parasitic sycoo
sis, and the frequent responsibility of bar
bers for its propagation. We will not deny
that the disease may occasionally arise from
accidental contact other than that of in
fected soap and brush. its close connection
with these, however, is affirmed by the
evidence OF a common and persistent Sc
quence of events. We need not dwell upon
the tenacity with which it clings to the hair
of the face, nor will we examine
the methods used by the dermatolo-
glst for its destruction. Sanitary clean
illness is here better than any remedy.
and the assertion Of this important fact is
the chief result of the somewhat lengthy
newspaper correspondence already men
toned. 1t has been impressed by different
writers in various ways. Thus we are
advised to shave ourselves. to avoid the
oneap barber, to use preoaution with
brushes and the like. Perhaps the advice
first given would prove the best. but the
professional operator is to many persons
Indispensable. The true,t wisdom for one
self In such a case is clearly TO use care In
selecting barber. Whatever he is not. he
must be clean and careful. 1t should not
be forgotten that there are possible
safeguards well within the reach
of this class of tradesmen which a
customer may fairly exact for his own
security as part of the common law of
shaving These include the use of perfectly
fresh water and soap, or preferably shaving
cream, as admitting of exclusive use, a
clean brush and clean razor for each per-
son shaved We should also advise, as
further but not superhuous precaution. that
instruments, after washing, be dipped in
some convenient autiseptio solution. Such
measures as these require but little time to
carry them out. They are needful in order
to insure immunity from contagion, and
the poorest will find them worth small
addition to the barber's fee.

HE GOT HE R.
How an Ugly Man Captured a Rich
and Winning Widow.

hIo w ALulES w 4OOWs
From the Philadelphia Record.
When a woman who has weathered fifty
winters travels 1.200 miles with S31, 900 in
her pocket to wed penniless man whom
she never saw, it is i'll jesting to say
that marriage is failure. Such woman
is Mrs. Lena Bennett, who Travelled from
Hillsdale. Mich. TO Wilmington, Del, to
marry Charles b. Cleaworth, q machinist
and marry him she did at Camden yester-
day.
Two months ago Mrs CIeaworth, who
has already buried two husbands, put q
tempting offer in q metropolitan paper. 1t
fell under the eyes of Charles B. Cleawor
and correspondence followed. Photographs
were exchanged, but the grOom-to-be was
not pleased with his own physiognomy, and
he transp 1rted the likeness of an Adonis
friend. The latter vancouver bound the
match. and last week the wealthy widow
arrived in the chief city of the Diamond
state She registered at the Western hotel,
Fourth and Orange streets, and learned
that the object of her journey was at work
at Trump BROS machine shops.
When the pair first met at the hotel on
Wednesday af sernoon thore were not the
expected embraces, for the lady could not
see in Cleaworth any resemblance to the
picture. No amount of persuasion could
make the coy widow believe that the
pleader for her hand was the bona
fide correspondent until Cleaworth ad-
nnitted that he had sent friends photo
graph instead of his own. So deceived
was the rich wife of two previous husbands
that she began to pout; but the sYmpatnetic
actions of the prospective third protector
won her over, and she actually said she was
willing to have the ceremony performed if
he was inclined likewise The next day the
marriage was solemnizsd in Camden, N. j.. =,
and brief honeymoon at Atlantic City
followed

The Century.

A portrait Of Talleyrand in his youth is thl
appropriate frontispiece Of the February
] Century, in which is given a very full anC
/ interesting instalment of extracts from tn,
TalleyTand Memoirs begun in the January
number Napoleon is almost the sole sub
ject of the extracts in this number. The in
stalment opens with TalleyTand's apology
for taking Office under the Directory. A
most striking description is next given oi
Bouaparte in the first flush Of his victories.
These extracts are full of plots. The 6rst
described is that between Bonaparte and
Talleyrand himself, just before Napoleon
overthrew the Directory and made himself
ruler of France. Then comes Talleyrand's
apology for supporting Bonaparte, followed
by a number of anecdotes of Bonaparte.
Miss Clare de Graffenried, of the U. S.
Labor Bureau, opens the number with
striking paper on "The Georgia Cracker in
the Cotton Mills illustrated by studies
from life by Mr.. Kemble.
The California series reaches the discovery
of gold. In the department Of "Californiana"
is given Marshal's own account of the gold
discovery as taken down from his lips in
'49 at Coloma. A third paper by General
John Bidwell completes his narrative of
events before the gold discovery and deals
with ''Fremontiu the Conquest Of California"
setting fofth view of those events some
what in conflict with that Of General FIRE. |

Water Works Again.

Under this heading some one pub
lished in the local columns of the Wea0.
and AdgeytiSey last week, an articl,
that favors the building of waterwOrk'
by private company. He claims
that the larger part of the community
favor this scheme His wishes are
father to the thought, and the "ear
marks" of the article are so plain, that
most the people knew from whose pen
it came. In speaking of the parties
who are anxious to do this work for
MilfOrd-and have the town pay them
81 900 annually for simply the privi
lege of using the fire plugs in case of
fire he says, his people are willing to
furnish the first spigot for $500 per
aunum; and then goes on to say that
income from water is small. Well, we
want TO ask just one question: Are
the capitalists willing to put water
system into Milford for simply the fun
of the thing, or are they to get some
profit for the money they invest?
The writer argues that mo careful
person can safely calculate the gross
returns from water works here, from
private takers at overSl OOOperannum,
and while it is true, there is generally |
a steady growth of patronage, yet it is
so slow as TO require a great many |
years to haYe any appreciable effect"
We admit his calculation ofincOme
rs approximately correct, aud concur
in his opinion about the steady growth
Of patronage For these two reasons,
If no other, the town should own the
water works in Milford. If private
consumers will pay 81 600 that amount
would pay the cost OF operating the
works, and with the additional income
o be derived from the electric light,
he town beable to pay the interest ON
he bonds without increasing our pres
mt tax rate-or laying water tax on
'eal estate benefited. We believe that
eal estate beyond the reach of the
water mains, should be exempt from
axatiOn should it be deemed eXpedi-
mt to lay water tax-which we do
lot believe will be necessary.

Eczema From Childhood.

When an infant my body broke out all
over with an eruption or rash, which became
more aggravated as I grew older. From
early childhood until was grown my family
spent a fortune trying to cure me Of the dis
ease. Every noted physician in our section
was tried or consulted. When I came OF
age visited Hot Springs, Ark, and was
treated there by the best medical men, but
was not benefited. After that, under the
advice of a noted specialist, tried the cefe-
brated Clifton Springs New York, without
any good results. When all things had
failed determined to try S. S. s., and in
four months was entirely cured. The terri
bic Eczema was all gone, not a sign left; my
general health built up, and have since
recommended S. S. S. to a number of friends
for skin diseases, eruptions, etc. and have
never known Of failure to cure.

The Pennsylvania Tours to Cali
fornia.


The wonderful popularity ofthe Peunsyl
vania tours to the Golden Gates is best illus
trated by the fact that the full complement
Of passengers for the first, starting on Feb
ruary 9TH, registered six week before the
date Of tour.
The space in the first train being all taken
engagements are now being made for the
remainder of the series. The second tour,
fixed for March sd. is an exceedingly
desirable one on account of the interesting
rout traversed, ss well by reason of the fact
that its members are in California at what
may consider the most delightful season of
the year. Eastern people who desire TO see
the Golden Coast in its most attractive garb
could not choose more desirable opportu-
nifty.
Names are being registered very rapidly
for the second tour, and those who wish 10
make their going certain should apply at
once for tickets.

Tne North AmeIIoan RevIew.

On opening the pages of The North Amer
lean Review for February one is almost at
loss to determine where to turn first. A
feast Of uncommon richness is spread before
the reader At the outset we have a most
interesting group ofreminiscences OF Get
tysburg Thirty Years After, called forth by
the visit to that historic ground last Octo-
Der Of the Count of Paris and most of the
living commanders who took important parts
ia the famous battle The contributors to
this symposium are the Count Of Paris him
self, General 0. o, Howard General Henry
W. Slocum, and General Abner Doubleday;
and there is the promise that in the next
number contributions will appear from the
pens of Generals Sickles, Butterfeld, New
ton, aud Gregg. Under the title A De-
Lucrative Body" Speaker Reed offers an
instructive and timely paper in reference
to debate and obstruction in the House Of
Representatives. Among other things, he
points out the surprising fact that the actual
volume of debate during the first session Of
the present Congress was greater than that
Of its predecessor.
