Even men are progressing gastronom-
ically. Scientific dietetics has at last
revealed to US the fact that the woman
who eats salad on hot day in July,
August or September is displaying
sound gastronomic sense, says What to
Eat. The long haired dreamer in the
restaurant may have been nineteen diff
ferent kinds of fool upon every other
proposition in life, but he knew what
to eat on hot day. Tie human ami
NAL needs grass or its equivalent in
summer. With their oil the salads sup
ply everything man physically needs
in hot weather. All the civilized races
of the world are salad eaters, but Amer
leans eat less than do any other people.
1t is not a sign of mental decay or NOR
al degeneracy for a man to eat salad; 1t
is gastronomic sense.

BIue and Other Eyes.

An optician is thus quoted in the
Philadelphia Record: "Nine-tenths Of

ness of vision are a necessary adjunct

noticed the penetrating quality glance
from an azure tinted eye seems to
have? The cold, steady look from such
an eye appears to read you through

of practice I've discovered that very

Of money In a Bible, writes Berlin
correspondent:
A business man with a large and

A lover of horses recently noticed q
custom in France which he thinks
ought to be adopted in this country
On every street in France which has
a steep grade there is stationed an Tex
ira horse" The law compels draymen
and others to make use of this horse
until the summit of the hill is reached

cate the point where the extra horse
should be taken on and also where he
may be dispensed with.

HARMFUL BATHING.

Too Much Soap and Water IL Not
Good For the Skin.
1t is a familiar boast of English peo-
pie that we are above all others a
washing nation. Soap and water is a
standing dish In Great Britain, but SO
little were we disposed to credit the
habitual cleanliness of foreigners that
piece of soap In the valise was till re-
Gently the habitual companion of an
Englishman 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 it's possession.
The familiarity Of islanders with wa
ter and the use of 1t occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Britons 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-
nances of the Latin races because Of
their closer and more frequent ac-
Quaintance with the articles Of the
washstand.
1t is quite obvious that even in Eng
land there are people who wash too
little. 1t 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 maceration of the
superficial part of the epidermis, which
is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid proliferation
of the cells of the Malpighian 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 good thing to rub the face
with a soft, clean, dry towel two or
three times a day. If, in addition, wa
ter is used in the morning and at night,
the skin will be kept in sounder,
smoother and healthier state than If,
as is often the case, soap and water are
used three or four times a day.
Men are not often offenders in this
respect, most men sparing little time
for the refinements Of the toilet. Wom-
en- and children, whose skins are the
most easily affected by superfuous alb
luton, are the very persons in whom
such excess Is too common. They
should be taught that there are dry
methods of cleanliness as well as wet
ones.-Lancet.

IT'S SUNSHINE AND MUSIC.

A laugh is just like sunshine;
1t freshens all the day;
II tips the peak Of life with light
And drives the clouds away.
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong;
A laugh is Just like sunshine
For cheering folks along
A laugh is Just like music;
1t fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart,
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet;
A laugh is just like music
