HARMFUL BATHING.
Too Much Soap and Water Is Not

It is q familiar boast of English peo- Die that we are above all others washing nation. Soap and water is q standing dish ill Great Britain, but so little were We disposed to credit the hahitual cleanliness of foreigners that piece of soap in the ya!ise was till re- gently the habituai companion of an En~liShman on his travels. All kinds of theories have bc"u raised to account and most diverse qualities have been attributed to its possession
 The familiarity of islanders with Wa ter and the use of il occaSiCncd by the national custom that led the ancient Britons to paint their bodies are sol emnly urged as the formulation of the English pronenesS to washing, and the fresh complex ions and smooth skins of young Euglislltneu are held to replace the more duslsy and liesGte counte- nances of the Latin races because of their closer aud more frequent ac. quaintance with the articles of the washstand.
 lt is quite obvious that even in Eng sand there are people who wash too little. It is not so generally recognized that some people wash too much. The skin is Dot well adapted to frequent applications of water accompanied by even the least irritating Of soaps. A tendency arises to maccraton of the superficial part of tue epidermis, which is too frequently removed and 0cca. sions probably too rapid proiferation of the cells of the Malpighian layer.

The Away-from.Home Girl.

Write your home letters regularly
and keep In touch with your parents
and old friends by weekly correspond
ence," writes Margaret Il. Sangster, in
the Ladies' Home Journal, addressing
girls who have gone from home into
the world to seek their livelihood.
"Never let a Sunday afternoon drift
out without your hour spent In an inti-
mate and loving letter to the dear
mother. This is good occupation for
Sunday, and can hardly tell you how
minute and confidential and affection
ate this writing should be. But there
Is no need. You know what you like to
hear from home, and what mother and
father most long for, when your letters
come. follow those letters. Mother
Is In the kitchen, washing the dishes
She wipes her hands and sits down In
the low rocklng-chair by the window
where the lilac is beginning to bud.
Father stands between the table and
the door, waiting to hear what you
have said, and aware that he must wait
until mother has satisfied her heart
with the first reading. Then 1t will be
his turn. To them both you are, and
you will always be, just their own lit
tie girl, and you can never send them
a line which they will not scan with
eagerness. So never put Off your fam
lily at home with a scrappy, hurried
scrawl; take time; and tell them every
thing"

satisfled with Hia Ioh

One Of Cleyeland's leading business
.-oncerns hired a new man the other
day. and little later. when the superin-
tendent passed by, he noticed that the
new man was smoking a pipe. The rule
against smoking on the premises is a
rigid one.
"See here, my man." cried the official,
''you can't smoke here"
The new man looked up and nodded
and the superintendent passed along.
A half hour later he was back again,
and 10! the new man was still enjoying
his pipe.

you that smoking was not permitted
here?
''You did" replied the new man.
"Didn't you understand me"

That's true word"
'Well, Pm the superintendent"

And he calmly returned to his work.

Dlscordant Custom in Rerlin-

Berlin is probably the only city of
any size in which there Is absolutely
no attempt at anything like general
dinner hour, or even at uniform busi-
ness hours. Each circle of professions
has its own hours of business, which
naturally regulate the household meal
arrangements. Army and official cir.
cles have certain hours Of duty; bank
ing and commercial houses have their
own hours; writers, actors and artists
theirs, and the university and the
schools form another set with other
hours. If you have a wide visiting list
in Berlin you may be asked out to
dinner at any time from 2 until Z.

But the present effort Is 10 reveal the

DR.. vacher and Nj. Bertiilon fix the
average longevity In the nineteenth cen.
tury at % years, Ali things being
equal. the number OF people who reach
ed the age of TS was greater In the gen.
erations OF the nineteenth century than
It was In those OF the eighteenth.
vacher only arrives at approximations.
He tried to find out II professions pos.
sessed any influence over the chances
OF life. and he was unable to come to
a conclusion. because he found cen
tenarIans in all professions. even the
most unremunerauve. For all that, he
thinks that he can give the palm to
agriculture, because 1t was In the fam.
lies Of farmers that he found the great.
est number OF persons who had reached
an advanced age. Here statistics are In
accord with the most rational prevls-
Ions.
The profession which presents hap
py medium In the matter OF longevity
Is that of the scientist. Among the sa.
wants one nnds as many men who die
young as the number who die very old.
We know that Fontenello lived 100
years, and that Chevreal was los.
Among those who reached ages quite
respectable, although their years Were
fewer in number. are Humboldt, who

The list Of those who died very young,
like Bichat and Paschal, Is just as long:
but It includes, unfortunately, the mar
tyrs of science. those who fell upon the
deld of honor In the effort to harvest
some new truth--Jacquemont and Com.
merson in France. Hasselquist and Abel
In Sweden. Solokoff In Russia and many
others. Such deaths are beyond the
reach OF the massive rules OF statistics.

longevity and scientific genius lasted
