Col John A. Joyce is no longer
one of the landmarks of Washing
ton, says the New York Times.
He has had his hair cut. For years
the hair of Col. Joyce has decended
to his shoulders. 1t was pure white,
and formed name that reminded one
of the Falls of Niagara. There is
an institution In Washington known
as the "Seeing Washington" car.
Visitors to the city board this car
and are taken along the trolley
roads. The conductor has a
megaphone, through which he calls
attention to the points OF interest in
to lie that can be heard on the
sidewalks. The regular repertoire
of the ''Seeing Washington" mega
phone has for long time comprised
something like this: son your
right, ladies and gentlemen, you
see the White House. The build
ing we have just passed is the
Treasury Department. The build
ing just ahead is the State, War and
navy department building. Across
the way you observe the Riggs
National Bank. See that man with
the wide, black sombrero and the
long, white hair half way down his
back? That is Col. John A. Joyce,
the poet, who accuses Ella Wheeler
Wilcox of not writing Laugh and
the world laughs with you.'" Now,
the t'Seeing Washington" man is
deprived of one of his best cards,
tor Col. Joyce is shorn. He looks
now like an ordinary citizen with
short, white hair. He still wears a
sombrero, but has even been seen
IN public occasionally wearing a
1erby. Washington mourns, but
Col. Joyce says he feels much
cooler.

The editor of the Alvarado
(Texas) Bulletin is the philosopher
of hard times. Listen to what he
says:
Young man, do not clamor for too much
pay at the beginning of your career. High
wages has ruined more men than low wages,
Save reasonable income and the day is
not far distant when you will be indepen-
dent. Do not permit over-pay to wreck you.
The Houston Post suggests that
perhaps the Bulletin man wants to
hire boy.

A REAL SNOW STORM.

Portland WAS visited yesterday by the
most severe snow storm of this winter.
The iiikes began to fall at noon and con-
tinued until early this morning, adding
several inches to that which was on the
ground, and making excellent sleighing.
Big piles drifted mp in the streets so that
walking was difficult The electric car
service was not greatly affected in tie
city proper. but In the Deering sections
there was considerable delay. The snow
plows were piscsd on all of the lines In
the afternoon and ran through the eve
ming breaking the way in effective style.

SKIN DISEASES.
Simple Precautions by which They
May he Prevented.

Among the most common diseases of
the skin are acne and eczema, one of
which is known TO be and the other
probably is the result of the presence
of a microbe on or in the skin. This
microbe is a vegetable growth, although
a very minute one, and, like other nox-
ious weeds, when once it has been plant
ed and has begun TO grow it IS often eX-
tremely difficult to dislodge it.
Every farmer knows that it is easier
to keep field clean by constant care
than to clear it after it has once been
overgrown with weeds. 1t is the same
with the skin. 1t is easier to keep the
skin in health and to arrest commenc-
ing disease than to cure a disease once
it has become firmly established.
If it were generally understood that
the presence OF a few pimples constitutes
a true skin disease, which, if neglected,
will probably grow worse, fewer persons
would suffer from the Disagreement Of
acne.
The skin is much like the system in
general. Ii it is in good condition, Il
will repel the assaults Of disease, but
il neglected it becomes less resistant
and soon offers a favorable soil for the
growth Of noxious germs.
The skin Is one of the so called eN-
cretory organs, and il the other organs
OF similar function-the kidneys and the
bowels-do not perform their work prop
erly an undue proportion of the waste
products of the body must be got rid of
through the pores of the skin. This
throws work upon the integument which
it is not accustomed to perform. and ii
soon becomes diseased in consequence.
The first thing necessary TO keep the
skin well is to maintain the health OF
the body by exercise, cleanliness, fresh
air day and night. good food properly
cooked q sufficient amount of sleep and
suitable clothing. In addition to these
general measures the skin itself should
receive special attention in the way of a
daily bath, followed by vigorous rubbing
with a coarse towel or flesh brush.
Some persons have naturally clear
skins, while others appear TO have a
special predisposition to black heads and
pimples. The fortunate ones must see to
it that they do not mar what nature has
given them by an unhygienic mode of
life, but the others need not despair, for
their tendency 10 eruptions may often
be overcome by scrupulous care both Of
the body and OF the skin itself, after
the manner above indicated and in such
other ways as the physician may direct

orirln of the short story.

1t voiced not only the dialect but the
habits OF thought of a people or locality.
From a paragraph of a dozen lines it
grew into half column, but always re-
tanning its eonciseness and felicity Of
statement. 1t was a foe to prolixity Of
any kind. 1t admitted no fine writing
or affectation of style. 1t went directly
to the point. 1t was burdened by no
eonscientiousness 1t was often irrever-
ent. 1t was devoid OF all moral respon.
sibility, but it was original. By degrees
it developed character with its incident,
often in few lines gave striking pho
tograph Of a community or a section. but
always reached its conclusion without an
unnecessary word-Bret Harte.

THE CRANKs TURNED OUT.
BiG Crowd saw Portland defeat Bath

Some eight hundred crnnks wad I'd

expected that there would be much Of an
attendance 90 that this splendid pouring
out OF ths rooters In such inclement
weather proved that the game has q firm
footing in Portland. There were many
good plays and during the contest much

were somewhat handicapped by the ab-
sence OF Captain MoGilvray and Mercer.
but did very well, and although always
behind the Portlands succeeded in
making things interesting. The game
started In sharp and swift By Portland
caging two balls in the first period. Then
the locals continued In their CONNIE nd
abls work In the second by putting up
one OF the best passing exhibitions that
has ever been given in this city. MUIR
taugh and Farrell did the star work for
their team. while Burgess made many
wonderful stops. The Bath boys started
out with determination to square them
selves, but soon lost their speed. In ths
final psriod the Portlands had everything
their own way, letting mp just before the
bsIl sounded in order TO show a little
courtesy to the crew from the shipping
city.
A notable feature OF the evening was
she fast work OF Campbell. The popular
little fellow fairly flew over the surface
and managed tot get in every rush. A.
the blowing OF the whistle he was of In a
twinkIing and had reasonable time to
spare before the opposing rushers were
able to hardly be In sight.
Everything went of In the best of
fashion and there was not a ripple OF
tronbls TO mar the evenness of the game.
