Admiral Meade's Leave of Absences Re-
v0ked.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secretary
of the navy has issued an order revok-
ing the leave Of absence granted to
Rear Admiral Meade several days ago.
When Admiral Meade became dissatis-
fed with his command and asked to be
detached from the command Of the
North Atlantic squadron, he also asked
for a leave Of absence Of a year with
permission to go abroad. The request
to be detached was Immediately
granted, as was also the request for a
years leave of absence. Then came
the request to be retired, but before
any action could be taken the interview
was published which has caused SC
much difficulty. No action has been
taken upon the request for retirement,
but the action revoking the leave of alb
sence indicates that the request for re-
tirement will not be complied with
The effect will be to place Admiral
Meade on waiting orders, subject tt
any duty, at any time, which the de
partment may desire tt assign him.

upon a governors warrant a short time
ago., charging him with larceny COM
mitted in that state, has commenced .
damage suit for $25, 600 against several
of the persons who were connected
with his hasty departure from Chicago
after his capture.
Benedict, who is a brother-in-law
Of x State Treasurer w. w. Taylor
of South Dakota, was arrested q short
time ago by private detectives and
taken directly to a train leaving the
city. The warrant under which the
extradition papers for his arrest was
made was issued by a South Dakota
justice of the peace. Benedict's lawyers
claim that he was taken away from the
city without an opportunity to consult
his counsel, as provided by the statutes,
and that he was the victim Of a con
spiracy. On his arrival in Dakota it is
charged that the case against him un.
der which he was arrested was dis.
missed and he was again arrested upon
another charge-that Of conspiracy.

The weather bureau at Huron has re-.
ports Of crop conditions from forty or
more COUNTIES up to Monday last. The
first three days Of last week showed
temperatures in many parts OF the state
ranging as high as 81, 90 and % degrees
above. The nights Of the 10th, 18th and
18th brought frosts OF more or less
severity all over the state, east OF the
Missouri river. Good to fairly heavy
showers occurred during the week.
Vegetation advanced rapidly but the
frost cut gardens, fruits, vegetables, po-
tatoes, earlX sown fax and corn to some
extent. few localities, however. seriously
injured. Wheat and oats, it is claimed,
will be benefited by the cool weather as
it was feared these cereals were growing
too fast. Corn will be set back some,
The frost was beneficial In checking the
Russian thistles which were gaining
Roadway and becoming a menace &c
wheat and oats. In many localities they
Yielded to the frost as readily as veget'
ables, while in others they were moi
affected.

II lQUBEuB u bHTUb IL ~ " OgoCSAv
AgainsS Facial Paralysis.
1t is to be feared that too many de-
prive themselves of what Shakespeare
calls ''valor's excrement" without
counting the possible cost. Whether the
beard be an ornament to the masculine
countenance we must leave the ladies to
decide. 1t certainly has it's uses in hid
ing a weak chin, and in some cases 1t
seems tt be cultivated as a vicarious
compensation for a hairless scalp. It is
not, however, in it's cosmetic SO much
as in its hygienic aspects that the bless
edness of the beard-in which term we
include the whole of the harvest usually
claimed by the razor-is most apparent.
That it is a safeguard to the throat is
generally admitted. The writer's of au-
thority have insisted on its value as a
protection against toothache and facial
neuralgia. This is a goodly sum OF ad-
vantages to the credit Of the beard.
DR.. Chabbert of Toulouse has, how
ever, yet more to say in it's favor. Ao-
cording to this practitioner, the beard
seems to be a very efficient defense
against that form of facial paralysis
which is caused by cold. This affection
is far more common in women than in
men, though the latter are Of course
much more exposed to the cause which
produces it. When facial paralysis q
frigore does occur in men, they are al
most invariably individuals to whom
nature has beer s~tepmotherly in the
matter Of beard or have wantonly
thrown away the protective covering
with which she had clothed their faces.
DIR. Chabbert cites the experience Of g v
eral physicians. in addition to his own,
is support of his opinion. Professor An
DIRE of Toulouse has seen several cases OF
the affection in question in women, but
not one in man. He had heard of one
indeed which would appear to be an ex-
cellent example of the exception which
proves the rule, for the patient was q
Lyric artist with the faccia di must
co SO distasteful to Lord Byron. Pro-
fessor Pitres Of Bordeaux has seen IL
cases in women and only two in men.
Both the latter shaved, though as one OF
them underwent that operation only
twice a week his case perhaps does not
count for much unless it be held tina,
his face was more vulnerable after these
periodical foundations. Similar obser
vations are quoted from DR.. Olivier o.
Toulouse and DR.. Sude of Carmau.
These facts, though hardly sufficien
to found an induction OH, seem at leas
to establish a prima facie case for tn
utility Of the beard against facial pa
ralysis of the kind referred to. In thes
days, when mans traditional privilege
: are one by one being invaded by tn
new woman" he may perhaps be fol
, given for making the most Of such ad
. vantages Al may be considered exclr
