How to Wash Ones Face.

The idea that soap is hurtful to the skin
is great mistake, providing the soap be
of pure, unadulterated kind, remarks an
exchange.
The face should be thoroughly washed
twice day. This is especially important
when the skin is inclined to be oily. The
real secret of blackheads is that the face Is
not washed frequently enough with soap
and water.
There is an art about washing the face.
Use cold or tepid water, never hot water.
The latter causes contraction of the skin,
which is inevitably followed by reaction
The constant use of hot water causes wrin-
kles Aabbiness and other things to be
avoided.
Filtered rainwatcr or water which has
been softened by chemical process is abso-
lutely necessary If you would keep your
complexion clear The face should be COW
cred with lather made from good soap.
which should be well rubbed in with the
hands. Then wash the face In perfectly
clear water until every trace of the SOAP is
removed. Afterward dry gently with a
soft towel Rough friction should never
be used.

The Craze Abating.
portland Press. }

The Republican convention in Iowa
had nothing to say in favor Of the free
coinage of silver at the 16 to l ratio,
though Iowa is one of the states which
in the not very distant past was very
tender towards the white metal 1t was
one of the first states to denounce the
"crine of 1878, and demand the restora-
tion of silver to equal privileges with
gold. Both parties there have been affected
with the rankest silver heresies. The
failure of the Republicans to endorse free
coinage shows therefore that the zeal for
the white metal is abating.

THE CURIOUS CANDLEF1sH.

are stored away and used as candles during
the long winter. After the Alaskan has
had his dinner he takes out a dried fish,
sticks the tail in cracE of the table and
touches Il match to the nose. Then the fish
burns with bright and steady glimmer,
and If unusually large may burn for an
hour or more before it sputters out. The
Alaskans also use these fish at their rude
religious ceremonies. Rows of candlefish
are stuck in board with their heads up
ward. Before the ceremony an old man
lights the fish. They burn like a row of
candles and throw a weird light over the
congregation at their devotions.
These fish are so common in the waters
of Alaska that the natives scoop them up
with board A large plank like paddle
is studded with nails, and an Indian stand
ing on the shore or in boat sweeps it
through the water, gathering in great
numbers of these natural candles when the
shoal is thick.
Another advantage about these candle
fish is that if they are not available as
candles they may be eaten, and they also
make an excellent substitute for cod liver
oil They are so full of fat as to be almost
transparent.
CandlelSn resemble the Smelt In form,
but with weaker dcntition and smaller
scales, and they are of dusky coloration,
growing to nearly a foot in length. In the
springtime immense shoals of these fish
are to be met with along the whole north
west coast of America, and they ascend all
the rivers north of the Columbia to spawn
The natives of British Columbia call the
eulachon the panfish and use it as a candle
by inserting in it the pith Of rush or a
strip of bark as wick
Another species is the Anaplopoma finn
bria, which resembles the pollock and
attains a length of 20 inches and weight
of five pounds. Such candle would burn
for several nights. This larger species is
also called the black candlefish, the horse
mackerel and the beshow, says the New
York World authority for the foregoing.

Son ewhat in contrast with the opera
tions of trade unions, In which all men,
bers are supposed to stand equally, is the
system which has been In operation sever
al years in the Midvale Steel Company.
This company has been very successful
under the operations Of this system, the
principal features of which are an elemen-
tary rate fixing department, differential
ate for piece work, and special methods
for managing the day work. Under the
first the cost of all the elementary opera
tions Is carefully estimated and recorded
and from the time and cost required for
performing each elementary operation is
estimated the time and cost for the whole
piece. A high price is paid for work per-
fcctly and quickly one and a price pro-
portonately lower for the same work i'm
perfectly done or for which more time was
required Thus individual excellence is
recognized and rewarded and increased
productivity insures increased wages
rather than decreased, as is often the
case under the ordinary systems For day
work the men are paid, as nearly as pos
BILE, according to what they do, rather
than by the number of hours actually
employed. 1t is the boast of those who
advocate the system that under its opera
tion for ten years there has not been q
strike. 1t would seem however, that
the contentment of the employe would be
dependent upon the impartiality and
good Judgment with which the estimates
are made and that the opportunity for
fault finding and distrust would not be
inconsiderable.

The crusade against vivisection has at
least gone sufficient length to arouse
defense. William T. Porter, assistant
professor of physiology in the Harvard
medical school, at the suggestion of DR..
H. P. Bowditch and others of the leading
professors Of the medical school, makes
public in the Boston Transcript state
ment concerning vivisection in that
school. The well known, high character
of the men from whom the statement
emanates will probably give it credence
among even the opponents of vivisection
In all forms. They say that almost all the
subjects of vivisection are put under the
influence Of anasthetics and killed before
recovering consciousness. In other cases
the pain of the wound is not sufficient to
affect the animals appetite and if it is
found that he Is suffering greatly he is
killed. In third class of cases narcotic
would stop the function of the organs un-
der investigation and hence cannot be
given. Here truth is gained at the ex
pense of suffering because there is no
other way say, the statement, and it
promptly adds, such Investigations are
rare None such have been made In the
Harvard Medical School within our
knowledge" Surely practses which have
resulted in relief for diphtheria, lock
jaw and hydrophobia, will convince
many people that there is such thing as
legitimate and proper yivisection.
