DEGENERATION OF THE SKIN.
IL Has Been Made Unhealthy by Too
Much Covering and Cod
ding.

BY almost constant overcovering, day
and night, for successive generations,
the skin has, by degeneration, adapted
itself to its reduced requirements.
From birth to senile death we are over
covered. That . full and vigorously
developed skin is desideratum, will be
generally conceded. The tendency is
for ours to degenerate to tissue paper
consistency. The exquisite structure
of the skin at once indicates its i'm
portance as one of the organs of the
body.
A homely showing Of that functional
power which can be developed in the
akin is indicated by the story Of the
Indian. Being almost naked, and yet
apparently quite comfortable in inclem-
snt weather, he was asked why he did
not seem to suffer and be made i'll by
the exposure, he replied: "White mans
face no pain no sick. Indian all face"
By this excessive covering our periphe-
raj nerves are too intensely impressed
by caloric changes, our capillary blood
system too feeble and incompetentlyd de-
veloped to battle most successfully with
heat, disease and traumatic impress
sions. It's muscular fat, and connective
tissue substance are all too deficient
and defective for our greatest comfort
and welfare. All its functional pow
ers have been reduced. Yet seldom il
heard q cry to develop the skin.-Phila
delphia Medical Journal.

THE BOLO OF THE FILIPINOS.
4 Weapon Which Has Proved lnef-
Acient Against Our Troops
and Their Arms.

A letter from Lieut.. William NJ. Copp,
Of the Sixth artillery, who is on the gun
boat Napidan in Laguna de Bay, gives
the following interesting information
concerning one phase of the fighting
with the Filipinos:
IAN odd trait in the character of the
natives is that they never leave one of
their dead if they can possibly get him
away. They leave more now than they
used to, for this reason: Formerly they
had at least five men for every gun, and
about all these men were good for was
to carry away the wounded and dead.
although they were armed with bolos.
These weapons were very effective
against the Spaniards, as the bolo men
apparently cared nothing for their own
lives, and the Spaniards did not have
the courage to stand when they
charged; so, of course, they were cut
to pieces, the bolo being without doubt
one of the most terrible weapons at
close quarters in the world. 1t is very
sharp and so heavy that it will smash
any sword in pieces that have seen.
They use them in the right hand. and a
long, heavy dagger in the left. l had
one of the many amigos who could han
die the bolo go through the motions for
me, and it was truly wonderful. The
rapidity of his moves was such that the
eye could hardly follow them, and all
the time he kept a constant guard. The
bolo is to cut, no point; the dagger is
used TO stab, no edge. When these bolo
men tried the same tactics on our men
that they were accustomed to employ
SO successfully against the Spaniards
they were killed in large numbers, as
our men did not run, but simply shot
them. Now so many of these men have
been killed, there are fewer Of them t.
gun, and they are not able to get thu
dead away quite as well as they did for
merly. =

pie of what was probably the most val

says a traveller recently returned from
South Africa. ut was a share certif-
cate in one of the richest gold mines
of the Rand. In the early days an Eng
lishman who worked in one of the first
mines opened took his pay partly in
cash, but chiefly in script or shares Of
the company. For many years the mine
yielded little, and the company was I'M
able to pay dividends. After time
the Englishman got discouraged with
working the pick for these nicely en-
graved, but unmarketable pieces of pa
per, and left the place for another part
of the country, where he continued to
work hard for living, barely making
both ends meet.
"The miners wife used the share GER
tificates, with some odds and ends of
prints from papers sent to them, in
papering the walls of their cabin, and
they remained there as a grim remind
er of the hollowness of mans expecta-
tions. Things got worse, and the
miner and his wife were near starva-
ton, when one day a broker newly ar
rived from England hunted up the
cabin and made an offer for the wall
paper. The price he mentioned was sc
large as to excite the miners curiosity
and on investigation he found that hi
was large shareholder in one of thu

SAILORS WHO CANNOT SAIL.
why So Many British Lives Are Lost
In the FishePies OF the
North Sea.

A startling explanation of the cause
of the loss of SO many fishing boats and
lives in the North sea is furnished by
the annual report, just published. of the
English inspector of sea fisheries.
In this report the almost incredible
fact is stated that at one of the leading
trawling centers on the east coast many
men presented themselves for examina-
ton for shippers and mates certiii-
Gates under the merchant shipping acts
who proved to be absolutely ignorant
Of the rule of the road at sea, and who
admitted that they never looked at the
regulations. Others, it is stated on
official authority, showed complete ig-
norance of the tides and were incapable
| of safely navigating vessel to their
own port. Others again knew nothing
about the rigging and equipment of
their vessels.
Undoubtedly it is the fact that the
substitution of steam for sails has much
to do with this astonishing ignorance
of seamanship, and the full extent of
this enormous change may be gathered
from the fact that, whereas in 1898
1000 smacks and seventy odd fishing
steamers sailed from the Humber, there
are now 900 steam trawlers and less
than half the number of sailing smacks
Hull, which had only ten steam traw
lers in 1883, had 304 last year. Grimsby
had but nine in 1883, and last year there
were 364 registered at that port.
The question arises whether this
enormous growth in steam power is de
stroying the value of the fisherman al
seaman, and the question becomes o
far-reaching Importance when it is re
membered that the hardy fishermen o
our coasts are largely looked on as {
nursery of the navy and subsidized n
naval reserve for the crucial emer
gency OF war.-London Mail.
