HARMFUL BATHING.
Too Much Soap and Water Is Not
Good For the Skin.

Good For the Skin.
1t Is n familiar boast of English peo-
pie that we are above all others a
washing nation. Soap. and water is
standing dish In Great Britain, but so
little We're we disposed to credit the
habitual cleanliness OF foreigners that
n piece of soap In the valIse was TIL re-
Gently the hahltuul companion of an
Engiishman on his travels. All kinds
of theories have been raised to account
for this national tendency to ablutlon,
and most diverse qualities have been
attributed TO its possession.
The familiarity Of islanders with WA
ter and the use of 1t occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Brtons to paint their bodies are sol
EMMY urged as the foundation of the
English proneness to washing, and the
fresh compilations and smooth skins OF
young Englishmen are held to replace
the more dusky and hirsute counte-
nnnees Of the Latin races because of
their closer and more frequent ac-
quaintance with the articles of the
washstnnd.
IL Is quite obvious that even In Eng
land there are people who wash too
little. n is not so generally recognized
that some people wash too much. The
skin is not well adapted to frequent
applications of water accompanied by
even the least irritating of soaps. A
tendency arises to macerntion OF the
superficial part of the epldermis, which
Is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid Il prollferatlon
of the cells of the Malpighan layer
There is no doubt that many cases of
roughness of the skin of the face come
from the frequent applications of wa
ter. 1t is II good thing TO rub the face
with soft. clean, dry towel two or
three times day. If, In addition, wa
| ter il used In the morning and Mt night.
| the skin will be kept In n sounder,
smoother and healthier state than II,
as Is often the ease, soap and water are
used three or four times Il day.
Men are not often offenders In this
respect, most men sparing little time
for the rennements OF the toilet Wom-
en- and children, whose skins are the
most easily affected by sperhuous ab-
luton, are the very persons In whom
such excess Is too common. They
should be taught that there are dry
methods of cleanliness rs well as wet
| ones.--Lancet.

am one of the sergeants In charge
of the central police station at night,
and during the several years | have
held the position some strange things
have occurred One of them, and one
that attracted general attention at the
time, was the way the murderer of the
Bolton family walked in on me one
night \ family of five people named
Bolton living In Missouri WAS slaugh-
tered one night, and, though every
effort was made to find the murderer.
he got clean off. Two years later, one
night ut II o'clock. a tramp entered
the station and queried of me:
IF | VIII surrender myself, viii you

had nothing to eat for two days"
'What crime are you guilty Off |
asked without much interest
Murder. | am the one who killed
the Bottoms out vest
YES, I'll lock you up ana give you

stairs, placed him In cell and then
ordered lunch for him from a night
hawk wagon. | hardly believed him
guilty of any crime whatever, but his
face betrayed Ibis hunger, and l felt
charitably inclined. Before | went OFF
duty In the morning | told the fellow
that | should have him sent up as "A
yagrant, and II WAS then that he told
me his story in such words that | could
no Longer doubt him. The result you
know. lie was the murderer sure
enough. and he returned 10 Missouri to
be tried and hung for his brutal crime.
One night year or so later as | was
eating my lunch ut midnight an old
woman who ran laundry entered In
an excited state aud asked me If there
was such street In the city MS Desoto.
| told her there was. 1t was narrow,
wretched street In the toughest quarter
of the town. Then she asked me If
there was cheap hotel called the
Lincoln House on the street Again
answered in the affirmative. 1t was
resort of bad men and had been raided
several times.

growing more excited as she talked.

Twice Proud.

"Only twice" said a well known law
yer, have really been proud The
first time was years ago In court
I'd been admitted and had had charge
Of the preparation of an important
suit. The jury brought in verdict
for our side. and l felt happy, but
after I'd collected the papers and
books and was going out my chief,
who was one of the lights of the bar
In those days, put his hand ON my
shoulder and said: You prepared that
case well, my boy. If 1t hadn't been
for you we'd have been beaten And
l knew 1t was 80, for he had come back
from Washington only that morning
and had had to depend entirely on my
work. And the second time / felt
proud was when my married sister
came into my library early one after
noon and said In a half whisper, It's
a boy Exchange.

When the well known African trav-
eler. DR.. Robert Felkin. was staying
with the bloodthlrsty King Mtesa OF
Uganda many years ago, the king, out
of gratitude for his visitors medical
treatment, wished to cut off his head.
On DIR. Felkin representing that the
treatment WIS not finished and that II
interrupted II would cause Mtesas
death the latter granted him re

Then, however, nothing awaited, and
the execution was determined upon.
Emin Pashn. who was friend of
Dir. Feliln, had instructed him most
accurately about the state of affairs In
Uganda and the court of King Mtesa
and had revealed to him an important
state secret namely. where Mtesa y

remembered this at the right moment
and as last resort threatened that if
Mtesa killed him he would bring down

Headache and the Eyes.

Eye strain should be the first thought
suggested by any complaint of head
ache, for it Is by far the most common
cause or that symptom. The simple
existence OF headache, therefore, should
suggest eye strain but frequently n
careful inquiry M to the manner and
time of the attack and the location of
the severest pain will be almost conclu-
slve as to the origin Of the trouble. OF
ten II comes on whenever the eyes are
used and is absent whenever the eyes
have had n proper season of rest.
Congestion, lrrltablllty or inflamma-
ton Of the eyes and their appendices
should always suggest the suspicion of
eye strain. 4 single attack or NANTES
tation of this kind has no special sig
nificance, but repeated attacks of In
iammation or prolonged congestion or
irritabillty are suggestive Of continu-
ing cause. \ strange thing with refer
ence to eye strain is that IT often exists
TO an exceptional degree without show
ing any symptoms in the eye, The pa
tient will often say that the eyes are
perfectly good and have never caused
any irritation.

All receptacles for food should. as
far as possible, be kept germ and In

wares are therefore preferable TO
wood. They should have no Joints or
ticles of food. Before placing food in
them they should be thoroughly wash
ed, scalded with boiling water, wiped
dry and then be allowed to cool. Plac-
Ing them in the sun when practicable
for couple of hours will also add to
their purity.
