Tho Doctor and the BARKER;

+: Whether or not a physician should
shave is a question which is now agi-
tating medical circles. Examinations
of the boards Of doctors who have been
among patients suffering from con-
tagious diseases discloses the fact that
they have sometimes brought away
with them large numbers 5of disease
germs in their whiskers. ssa4C Certainly
there is every reason to suppose that
this may be the cases. Every one who
has ever given thought to&the matter
is aware. that the odor OF tobacco
smoke stays in. the. beard for a long
time, and it is reasonable to, suppose
that other odors with their accompany
ing germs may dge.stheressalso.. a
clean-shaven man ( is, therefore, all
things considered, much the more de-
sirable as a family doctor than the
man with bushy whiskers.

sKOch's Study of LeprOsy.

The results Of Prof Koch's study
5f leprosy in East Prussia last year
nave just been published in Berlin. He
is of opinion that the cases he saw
here were not connected, like those
in Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc.,
with the leprosy of the Middle Ages,
out had probably been introduced since
1870, through the close intercourse be-
:ween East Prussia and the Russian
Baltic provinces. =: Twenty-seven cases
revealed themselves. before. September
1896 ;saaand OF those seventeen ended IA
ally. OF the ten living patients six
Ire being treated at their own homes
and four in hospitals. The introduc-
ion and propagation of leprosy took
place mainly between 1882 and 1890.
Infection, DR.. Koch says, seems to be
caused mostly by low living, or over
:rowding in small houses, and to some
.xtent also by the wearing Of infected
clothes. He found no evidence of he
'editary transmission. The duration
If the disease is generally from five to
.en. years.

New Method for Extracting Glycerine
In the manufacture of soap there is
often a large amount Of lye left over.
This, of course, is a waste product and
heretofore no attempt has been: made
to turn it to account A series ofHex-s
periments has demonstrated that gly-
cerine and soda can sbe recovered from
this waste by means Of electrolysls.::
The following is the description OF the
process: The anode is plate OF zinc
Or carbon in contact with the liquor un-
der treatment; the cathode is in por-
Gus pot. The current decomposes the
caustic soda, forming sodium hydrate
at the cathode; the glycerine is set
free, while the albuminoid and color
ing matters are rendered insoluble and
are easily removed by filtration. At
T ter this treatment the insolubles mat
ter is separated out and the liquid is
distilled, forming perfectly pure,
clear glycerine, the caustic soda being
also practically pure and usable by the
soapmaker

Eating CLAW.


That large number of people live
and thrive on a diet of earth may sound
incredible to those who have never
heard of the clay-eaters of the South.
but in Alabama there are many per-
sons whose daily food is clay dug from
the banks of the small mountain
streams. 1t is oily and almost with
out taste, and certainly contains nour-
lshment of some sort, as it is almost
the entire diet of the inhabitants of
these localities. When the clay-eater
begins this line of diet piece the size
OF a pea is all that can be taken with
safety. After they have grown up on
it piece as large as the fist of the
average man may be taken with i'm
punity. Clay-eaters enjoy average
health and live to good old age. clear
ly demonstrating that there is nothing
specially injurious in this most curl
GUS article Of food. The most marked
effect produced by it is change in the
appearance. The skin grows sallow af-
ter while, becoming pale, unwhole-
some-looking yellow, almost the color
of the clay itself. Those who begin
clay-eating il their infancy have the
look of premature age and never wear
the hue Of health or vitality. They are
thin, angular and spiritless, although
rarely ill. They are full of belief
in signs and superstitions. They raise
a little corn, potatoes, peas and a few
other vegetables. The corn is conyert-
ed into whisky, which is probably the
only luxury in which they indulge ~. =,

German Manufacture Of Needles.


The Germans during recent years are
said to have made very remarkable
progress in the manufacture of nee
dies. Last year the Germans exported
100000 pounds of these small but in
dispensable articles, as compared with
100000 pounds in 1895. AS showing
the rate at which the export side3of the
German business has grown, it is stat
ed that in the eight years, s18S0-87, the
shipments were 11,615 900 pounds, and
in the following eight years, ending
with 1895, 15,425, 900 pounds. The fact
Yories Of sAix-la- Chapelle alone produce
s50,000,O00 needles a week, and they are
said to be for the most part OF supe-
rior quality. The best outlet for these
goods is China, which in 1896 took so
per cent Of the whole export, as com
pared with no more than 20 per cent
in 1894. Other markets Of considera-
bile Importance are British India,
France, Great Britain, the United
States, Austria-Hungary, Italy and
Turkey. :$.s I y !, 4. .4s G# sz

To read of the. dimensions Of the
Oceanic hardly gives an adequate idea
of her tremendous size. Her model
shows that she will be beautifully pro-
portioned, and So, like a very large
man OF fine physique, she will not look
her size unless some object be placed
beside her enabling comparisons. For
instance, the Ethiopia, of the Anchor
line of steamships, that plies between
Glasgow and New York could be al
most placed between decks aboard the
Oceanic. While I. have never seen the
steamer Northwest, which travels the
Great Lakes in the United States, the
= dimensions which have read of her
depth, length and beam-show that she
is hardly half as long as the Oceanic
Twill be, and of depth and beam proper
1tionate thereto. She will be more than
third larger than the steamships
which ply between San Francisco and
Japanese and Australian ports. She
will possess but two smokestacks, it
is true, but, either of, these ARE of, suf-
ficient size to permit of an opening be-
ing made through them large enough
to admit of the passage of double
team from farm wagon.
Her promenade deck is three blocks
long. There is almost sufficient space
to play a game of base ball, and Ger
tainly hand ball could be played with
out difficulty. 1t is among the plans
of the builders of the boat to so ar
range a portion of the deck that golf
can be played thereon. Twenty-one
lifeboats, each capable of carrying
| forty-five persons, will be secured to
davits on each side of her upper works..
The captain, or whatever officer may
be upon the bridge, will havesa prom

A pretty member of one Of the best

conduct that the mans mother, a tor
tune teller, persuaded her that death

lin was the name of the unfortunate
girl, Jim Courtney being her husband.
The couple went to the residence of

and proceeded to the shabby room
where Courtney had been living. But
the honeymoon Of the i'll matched pair
was of short duration. The parents
of the girl, hearing that their daugh-

quickly ,ascertained the truth and, CIV
ing chase, found their daughter and
took her home. When Courtney ap-
peared on the streets he was met by
ugly looks from citizens, so he left
town afoot. It was thought the young
woman had lost her mind and her ex-
planation of the reasons and fears
which Influenced her marriage indicate
that her reason was impaired. An
effort will probably be made to get the
legislature to annul the marriage, but
there is no precedent, and it is unlike

The cotton industry is to be benefited
n a new way. by an improved process
If packing. According to the ,Manufac-
:urers'7 Record, the American cotton
oale has long been noted as the
;lumsiest, dirtiest, most expensive and

n fact, any other commodity of like
value is put up." The new bale is to

Ter, and the new system is expected to
save millions to the south. The in
combustible character of the bale is
perhaps it's greatest value, if it really
has that quality. Fire has been one

While the speed power of the Oceanic
will be tremendous, the ship will be

commodations to passengers superior
to any that now exist. The Lucania;
and the Campania are supposed to be
the ideal floating palaces, but the
Oceanics state rooms will give that one
Improvement for which transatlantic
travellers have in vain sighed-plenty
of room. The additional space which
the greatly increased size Of the ves-
sci will afford is not to be utilized to-
ward increasing the numberaof state
rooms as much as toward making the
state rooms larger It will also be
possible for traveller to securesa room

of the most popular passenger. steam
ships that ply between New York and
European ports. There are no start
ling innovations from structural
standpoint, and no effort will be made
to place her at the front of the fleet
that are known as ocean greyhounds.
Nevertheless, her engine capacity will
be sufficient, it Is believed, to take her
across the Atlantic in four days. The
present time record is little more
than five days and four hours The
total combined horse power of the
Oceanic will be 45,000.' That of the

will have three sets of triple expansion
engines, the capacity of each of which
