Not many of tho BARRIERS understand tho
hot towel shave. To be done properly,
not one towel alone, nor two, should be
applied, but at least half dozen, com
pletely covering the face with the steam.
ing CLOTH each towel being replaced as 1t
becomes cool with another fresh from the
hot water faucet. A dreamy languor creeps
over the senses
On the hottest day in summer, as well
as the coolest in winter, one goes forth
feeling much better for his steaming. The
philosophy of this new adaptation is this;
The hot towel draws the blood away from
the brain TO the face, making in summer
the skin much warmer than the air, which,
when the towel is withdrawn, strikes the
skin cool and refreshing.
III winter THO blood offers the same re-
sistance To The cold as Il it were heated by
exercise, and the unpleasant chapping of
the skin which sometimes follows the old
fashioued shaw is obviated The steam
also removes The oil which exudcs from
the skin and leaves the complexion clear
and fresh, therefore a person feels better,

PASADENA, Cal, Feb. ar. G. Dun,
president Of the Mercantile Agency asso-
citation, is quartrred at the Raymond
hotel with his wife. When questioned
with regard TO the. arrest of Erastus Wi
man he stated that Wiman's peculations
were known before his connection with the
mercantile agency was severed, and were
the cause Of such action on the part Of the
agency officials. This was in February,
1898 When questioned nA to why action
IN the case had been so long delayed Mr.
Dun said it was largely on account of
Wiman's wife and relatives.
With reference to the circular published
and industriously circulated about a
month ago by some unknown person, in
which were revealed many hitherto very
dimly understood facts in regard to mer-
camille agencies and their methods of do
ing business, Mr. Dun said he did not at
tribute its authorship TO Wiman, nor did
it have the slightest bearing on the push
thought chat Wiman had given the author
some valuable suggestions.

HETTY GREEN'S PRoMPTNEss
IL Pleased the Tax Collectors, and They
Let Her on Cheap.

HAMPSTEAD, L. l., Feb. 24-People are
chuckl1ng over the readiness which the
tax assessors placed small assessments
on the property Of Mrs. Hetty Green, who
is the richest women In America a. well
as one of the mostlclose fisted She resided
here last summer. II appears that her
eagerness to secure her tax bills, her fear
lest she should be overlooked when the
assessments were levied and her prompt
ness In paying her taxes so pleased the
assessors and tax collector that il did not
occur to them 20 inquire too particularly
into Mrs. Green's affairs. Then Mrs.
Green insisted upon her husband and her
daughter being taxed. They had their
legal home where she resided. Therefore
all three were assessed g., 500 each. The
assessors thought Mrs. Green an excep-
tionally liberal woman, and when she
paid her s235.5 as soon as she received her
bill the tax collector was charmed with
her promptness. Now that the tax as
SCISSORS realize how very rich Mrs. Green is
1t occurs to them that they might Just as
well have assessed her personal property
at very much higher valuation. An Mrs
Green's tax bills are paid for this year, the
assessors will have TO wait until next year
before Mrs. Green's assessment can bs
