BANYAX TREE WHISPERS.
Peculiar and Unprecedented Amic-
ton of a New Jersey Farmer.

From the New York Mail and Express.
If there Is a more peculiarly afflicted man
in a thousand counties than Haydock

yet to be discovered. Mr.. Briggs came to
New York on Saturday to consult a spe-
cialist in the science of dermatology.

said the man from New Jersey to a Mail
and Express reporter, IAN I reckon it's
abaout time l was gettin' cured"
Mr. Briggs afiliction is probably without
precedent. He has what he calls "banyan
tree whiskers." His beard, instead of
growing out straight curls when it be-
comes the sixteenth of an inch in length,
and takes root again, just as the shoot of
the banyan tree takes root and in time
forms an arboreal forest.
This is true of each individual hair, and
as a consequence, Mr.. Briggs face pre-
sents the appearance of forest of hairy
loops Some of these loops are elliptical
and others form the arc of circle. If the
victim permits his face to remain unshaV-
en- for six weeks, the loops enlarge to
about three inches in circumference and
form a trap for flies, bees and gnats. This,
Mr.. Briggs says, is extremely annoying.
"Ef It want fur thet," he said, Il might
stand 1t; but I don't want ter be takin' fur
a walkin' fytrap. It's all right when
don't shave fur two or three days, but eff
let it go fur week, them pesky hairs
take root at tn other end, and l begin
to look like l had tunnels all over my
face"
Further than this Mr.. Briggs IS annoyed
by remarks made by thoughtless young
people. They call him "Croquet Haydock. "
and ask him to lie down so they can shoot
croquet balls through the hirsute loops
of his face.
'sBin Tenders boy is the wust," said the
sufferer sadly, as he scratched his chin in
a reflective manner. I Wuz asleep on the

cal treatment, he thinks, to relieve him of

York he will keep closely shaved for fear

THE INVISIBLE FOOD OF FISH.
Some Recent Experiments and Re-
suits Obtained TherefrOm.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
Recent experiments on the food of the
oyster show that the oatmeal commonly
given to "fatten" them causes them to
lose weight and die, and that -four, often
used for the same purpose, soon poisons
them. though, on the other hand, the ty-
phoid bacillus is destroyed by passing
through the oysters alimentary canal
The latter discovery will be good news
to the owners of oyster beds. But the
study of bacteriolOgy is a new one. What
strikes the average reader as more curl
Gus is the lateness of the discovery that
the food commonly used in shops to fatten
oysters disagrees with and kills them.
Yet it is only one of the results of what
until recently, was very general ignor-
ance of the main food supply, not only of
the oyster. but OF all the swarming YER
Jebrate fishes of the sea except such as
are entirely carnivorous and live by prey
ing upon other fish. The food of river
fishes was better known; but what was
until recently thought to be their princi-
pal food, now appears TO play only lin
TIED part in their maintenance, and the
common fisherman's views that river
fishes, like robbins, live mainly on worms
and grubs, with change of ground bait
and paste, is almost as far removed from
TACT as the shoWman's description of the
elephants diet as consisting mainly of
But the case of the river fish did net
settle the obvious problem suggested by
TIE question OF the IOOQ supply IN the
sea. The sea, except in the shallow wa
Ter fringe along the shore, is devoid of
vegetables. 1t CONTAINS in general no
growth of weeds and plants to harbor
swarms of possible food creatures with
Their eggs and larvae, and where such
vegetable growths do occur, as in float
ing weeds of the Sargasso sea, a race
OF FISH and crustaceans at once appears,
limited to that locality, and obviously fed
from that source alone. Neither does the
sea, except in certain areas, greatly
abound in vertebrates fish. You may
catch large FISH al any point on the
voyage in the narrow seas from Gibral-
Jar down the Mediterranean to Alden.
But the open seas are not full of the fry

however, did not return the call, and the

MRS. HOKE SMITH.
Finds Many Amusing Things in
Washington Society.
Washington Cor. Chicago Record.

Washington Cor. Chicago Record.
Mrs Hoke Smith, the wife of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, is the wit among
the cabinet ladies, and her descriptions
of her experiences with Washington So
ciety are very amusing. Some of the
situations in which she has found her
self since she came to Washington would
furnish excellent material for writer
of comedies, but no professional could
possibly relate them with better effect
than Mrs Smith herself.
One of her stories concerns an encounter
with another lady by the name of Smith,
who has been spending the winter in
Washington and has been made a good
deal of socially. Shortly after her arrival
Mrs John Smith, as we will call her for
the sake of distinction, attended Mrs.
Hoke Smiths reception, and in few DAYS
Mrs Hoke Smith returned the call When
she entered the drawing-room she no
ticed that none Of the receiving party
recognized her, and by way of a self

ODD METHOD OF PERFUMING.
Injecting the FavOrite Scent Under
Fair Skin.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal
Very curious and not without it's sug-
gestion of danger is the newest feminine
fad, which started in Paris, then made
it's way across the channel to London and
within the past month has begun to win
popularity in some quarters of New York.
1t is the latest method of perfuming and
is accomplished with the aid of a hypo-
dermic syringe deftly manipulated.
The doctor, or whoever is working the
little instrument that until now has been
entirely a medical one-and some Paris
this way with great skill-forces in the
point of the tiny hollow needle so gently
that it pierces the skin and no more.
Then, with a further pressure, he injects
a few drops of the pungent perfume.
That is all that is required From that
moment the skin is charged, as it We're,
with the scent and a faint, subtle, illus
i've odor seems to breathe itself forth
from the fair woman who has yielded to
this freak of ashton.
The story of its introduction is at least
a curious one. Paris physician, who is
an eXperimenter and chemist had wo-
man friend-a fashionable lady-who was
always in search of the unique and the
new. He met her one day on the Bots.
Il have a sensation for YOU" he said
What is it?" she asked. Come to my Of
fee tomorrow morning" was all the doc
tor would say as he walked away
Complete success crowned the first ex-
pertinent and madame threw away there
upon her entire stock of sachets. Though
a secret of the bOudoir, it was too good =
one to remain a secret long and it was
but a short time before other women had
found 1t out and were clamboring to be
allowed to try it. The clever doctor had
a new specially at once and many were
the women that he perfumed by the hy-
podermic each day, using the favorite
scent of each.
Not very difficult, however, is the trick
of using the hypodermic needle and be-
fore many weeks had passed women found
that their maids could be taught to per-
form the little operation, or at a pinch
they could do it themselves.
The news spread rapidly, in that secret
way the mysteries of the toilet are COM
municated, to London, and made a hit in
the Inner circle" of that town
Its spread to New York has been slower
and fewer have taken it up for the posi-
Bile reason that more American women
have a horror of morphine and connect
the hypodermic syringe with that drug.
