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

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
standing dish in Great Britain but so
little were we disposed to credit the
habitual cleanliness of foreigners that
a piece of soap in the valise was till re-
Gently the habitual companion Of an
Engl;shman on his travels. All kinds
of theories have been raised to account
for this national tendency to ablution.
and most diverse qualities have been
attributed to its possession.
The familiarity Of islanders with wa
ter and the use of it occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Britons to paint their bodies are SOL
emnly 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
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 we'll 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 day. If, in addition. wa
ter is used in the morning and at night,
the skin will be kept in a 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 refnements 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 we'll as wet
ones.-Lancet.

A HEARTY, LAUGH.
The Wonderful Effects I: Has Upon
the Human System.

The Wonderful Effects 4: Has Upon
the Human System.
Laugh and grow fat' is saying as
old as the hills. 1t has long been an
accepted fact that humor is a promoter
Of digestion and merry words the dead
liest foes Of disease. DR.. J. e. Kenne-
dy, editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin,
writes an interesting article on the val
ue of laughter, in which he shows it is
not only a remedial agent, but is also a
valuable preventive against a host Of
diseases. The physical effects of laugh
ter are thus put down by DR.. Kennedy:
Laughter increases the blood circula
ton.
1t enlarges the heart.
1t expands the lungs.
It jiggers the diaphragm.
1t promotes the dioculation Of the
spleen.
In other words, laughter stirs up tic
vital regions Of the body, gives them
healthful exercise and produces men.
tai exhilaration which acts upon the
system much as brisk walk in a crisp
atmosphere does upon the appetite. AS
strong allies to laughter DR.. Kennedy
gives the following directions for men.
tai peace Of mind:
Beware Of theologians who have nc
sense of mirth. They are not altogeth-
er human.
Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you. Hang them on chair with your
trousers or drop them in a glass Of wa
ter with your teeth.
DR.. Kennedy has surely hit the nail
on the head. If his prescription and
advice are followed, his own bills will
be decidedly cut down. - Burlington

propitiating their captors. The friend
suggested song, and, taking the hint,
Mas broke forth into an operate Sc
lection which so delighted his eaptoTs
that they loOsened his bonds and de-
handed that he continue to sing. When
he got weary they revived his tagging
zeal by pricks with the points of their
knives, and So kept him singing All
night long Finally, as it grew near
dawn, the Indians one by one dropped
asleep and Mas and his companion
made their escape
MariO's wonderful voice once saved
MIN in a ike manner. He was travel
ing with some companions in Spain,
when he fell into the hands OF a
band of marauding brigands. who de-
manded money. Mario answered them
in imprOmptu song. which so delight
ed them that, according to the singers
story, they elected him captain of their
band. In the course of the following
day Mario managed to make his es-
cape with his friends. On another
occasion Mario was arrested in Ma
drid. as he was returning from the
theatre, on the charge of being a po-
ntical conspiratOr. The great singer
was indignant and, telling who he was.
demanded that his friends be cOmmun-
icated with. The captain of police be-
fore whom the singer had been brought
replied that if the prisoner were in
deed the great Mario, ne had a sure
way of proving It. Thereupon Mario
burst into song. and five minutes later
was bowed out of the police station
with profuse apologies for his arrest.
A good story is told of Lablanche, the
celebrated bass singer. One day, as he
was stTOlling leisurely through French
fair a cry was raised suddenly that a
bear had escaped from the menageTie
The crowd fed in every directiOn-ail
save the singer, whose massive proper
tons preCluded the idea of rapid move
nent. Re alone stood unmoved, await
ing the onslaught of the ferOciOus
beast, which, sure enough, soon came
rapidly toward him. When within a
few feet of the singer the bear halted
and gathered itself together as if for
a final rush. Then the mighty La
blache, stepping forward, sent forth
from the lowest depth of his immense
chest such a roar that the affrighted
beast turned and fed.

the vogue some women will wear it
even though it catch more bacilli than

want to chain fashion to the statute

Passengers on all the trains of the
Boston & Albany division of the New
York Central were wondering last
night and early this morning If they
were ever going to get to their desti-
nations.
The last train to arrive from the
West on time was the train due here
from New York at S.57, and fraIn No.
IA. due here at 1920, was just three
hours late arriving here at 1.20. Train
men on train No. IA report IL inches of
snow on the level west of Springfield,
and eight inches this side. West of
Springfield train No. IA was stalled for
an hour by two freight trains which
had run into a snowdrift and got
stuck there Men were sent out from
Springfield to shovel them out and
clear the track for the through trains.
The owl train, due here from Boston
at 1918 did not get into the depot till
1857, partly on account of the storm
and on account of a switch engine rum
ming off the track in the yard The
switch tngine ran off the track on ac-
count of a frozen frog and the service
of the Wrecker was required to replace
1t. Two freight trains and the Owl
train from Boston were stalled in the
y
the Owl said the storm was raging
fearfully this side of Boston and drift
ing as fast as 1t fell. The Owl had
two engines attached and the front of
the forward engine was covered with
snow to the top of the smokestack. A
snow pillow came through from Boston
arriving at 1890 and returning again on
the other track so as to clear the track
for No. IA when it came through.
Train No Ia had a vary liPht train
not having the regular number of cars
and not many passengers were travel
ing. Through passengers on the Owl
for New ork we're wondering If they
would ever get to the metropolis at the
rate they were travelling. The owl train
was very light, there being no more
cars than were necessary outside of the
mail cars.
Over 100 men were put to work in
the Boston & Albany yard early this
morning getting the track clear for
the freight trarins, and orders were re-
ceived to hold all freight trains in the
yard until it was seen how the condi-
ton of the track was East and West
of this city before any more were sent
out. Freight train No. 2 on the Boston
& Albany is stalled at Charlton, where
1t will stay until 1t is shoveled out.
The train left here at 1898 with 81 cars
and arrived at Charlton, distance of
10 miles at 11.53
Two snow plows were being got ready
to be run to the West early this morning
and men are being sent out from Spring
field toward this city and Albany to clear
the tracks. Trainmen report the snow as
drifting frightfully at the Charlton grade
and say that there will be some fun there
If the storm keeps up. Agent Charles

SEVENTEEN had
ARMS SCRATCHED
Many Avail Themselves of the 0p-
pOrtunity to Get VaCCinated As
a Precaution Against the
Snread of SMALLPOX

At the public vaccination last night
at the office of the Board of Health, II
persons had their arms scratched.
There will be another opportunity for
those desiring to be vaccinated free of
expense tomorrow night at the same
place from Z to olcock.
The Board of Health received a COM
munication yesterday from the Board
of Health of Camden, N. j., where
there were cases of tetanus among
persons vaccinated. Samples Of vaccine
were sent to hospitals and prominent
physicians and examined, All report
ed the vaccine to be pure. The cases
of tetanus or lockjaw were due, so the
Camden Board of Health wrote, to
carelessness on the part of the patient,
allowing the germs to penetrate
through the scab to the blood
Although an evening paper persists
in putting scareheads on smallpox
stories in its edition every day, mem
bers of the Board of Health say there
is no reason for alarm, but they al
so say it is the part of wisdom to be
vaccinated if that precaution was ne
elected last summer when there were
cases of smallpox in the city.

JACKSON STREET
GRADE CROSSING
Board of Trade Committee Has
a New Plan That is Believed to
Be An Improvement Over Any
Yet Suggested

The question of what to do with the
grade crossing on Jackson Street is still
bothering the members of the Board of
Trade and new plan is being consid-
cred by the grade crossing committee
of the board and it will undoubtedly
be presented to the commission at its
next session, Dec. IA The newest
plan is to cut Jackson Street clear
to Main Street instead of hav-
ing the new grade run out at Beacon
Street as the present plan of the city
engineer provides.
There is quite a hill in the street
that rises from both SouthbridCe and
Main Streets. Men who have looked
into the matter are of the opinion that
this hill can be cut down and the
change will be a decided Improvement
in the street as 1t will give another
avenue of communication between
Main and the Island district The
grade in the plan prepared by the city
runs out at Beacon Street and the
street is kept open chiefly for the bene-
fit of the Industries at the east end of
Jackson Street. If the grade is ex-
tended through to Main Street the hill
will be wiped out and the street made
available for other purposes. This will
necessitate a dip in Beacon Street on
both sides of Jackson Street but it is
claimed this will not be serious enough
to counterfeit the good that will be ac-
complished by making Jackson Street
with an easier grade.
A meeting of the Board of Trade
grade crossing committee was called
for yesterday afternoon to discuss the
situation but on account of the storm,
it was not held at the Board of Trade
rooms. Instead President Rufus B.
Fowler had the meeting over the tele-
phone, calling up all the members
who could be reached They are al
ready familiar with the situation and
all who could be reached said they are
in favor of the newest plan.
