new PLAN GIVB BS EIGHT
HOUR DAY FOR POLICE
System VIII Become Oper-
atlve September /.
Time Divided Into Three Tricks of
Eight Hours Each With an Extra
Shifting Section.

Major Sylvester yesterday announced
that beginning with September, provid
ing the District Commissioners concur
red with his views upon the subject, he
would inaugurate the eight-hour system
OF working among the members sf the
local police force. The subject of eight
hour shifts has been pet scheme ~
Major Sylvester ever since he assum-
ed charge OF the department
Only few weeks ago he proposed
system OF shorter hours for the police
men, but after devoting considerable
time TO it, found that the city would
not be amply protected. owing TO the
limited number OF men on the force
Therefore. he had TO abandon that plan.
He was not in the least discouraged,
however, and at once took up another
plan which was suggested by Night In
spector Matthews. This is the one il id
now proposed TO adopt.
The Washington times., 1902-08-20
Time to Visit Families.

Under the new system the policemen
will work four less hours each day and
every other day viii have sixteen hours
at home with their families. At the
same time the force win be strengthened
by the change and a number of men will
be on hand in each station house at all
times in case of emergency.
The force will be divided into four
sections, three to work in eight hour
tricks" ana the fourth TO be known as
the shifting section. doing nothing
but reserve duty unless there should be
unusual coming on hand re
quiring extra men. All of the men will
have a turn at the shifting section
work, about once a month, unless some
thing important happens, so that the
shifting section has to be put on street
duty.
The system which will 20 into opera
ton on September ] is known as the
-four platoon system" and is similar
TO that now in operation by the police
Of Chicago.

Strange Facts About Animals.

Have you ever noticed that all ami.
mails which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most of those which
drink water by suction are herbivorous
the carnivorous variety tapping 1t with
the tongue, like the cat, dog, tiger, etc
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether
Unlike most animals, horses have nc
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat.
ter cannot be shut, and thin men,
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye of the owl is also very
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in its socket and cannot stir In
any direction. TO compensate for this
seeming disadvantage 1t can turn Its
head almost completely round without
moving its body. If you were to keep
a frogs mouth open many minutes, II
would soon die, as owing to its peculiar
construction 1t can only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand, fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira.
tory organs full play. 1t Is also q
strange fact that the deer has addl-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as If nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to fee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth in the head
but one variety In Africa, whose prin
cipal food is eggs, is provided with
substitute for them in it's stomach.

A Church kicker.

''When l go to the theater," says a
churchman quoted in the Philadelphia
Record, II sit in finely upholstered
seat. Underneath is a rack for my hat,
and on the back of the seat ahead is a
place to hang my oyercoat. In the
church which l attend every Sunday
is an uncomfortable, straight backed
pew, into which the ushers always In
sist upon crowdlng visitors after my
wife and l are seated until sometimes
six persons are seated in a space
scarcely large enough for four to sit
comfortably. Hats and wraps must
look out for themselves.
"Of course, when go to the theater
I pay for my seat; but, in spite of the
fact that salvation is free, also pay
pew rent in church. might also enter
a protest against women wearing their
hats in church, but | won't. Some
times it's a relief to retire behind one"

POINTERS ON MANlcURlNG.

When the nails are fragile, little
wax and alum rubbed upon them will
strengthen them. If brittle. little
almond oil or cold cream will be found
beneficial.
To remove white spots from the nails
use mixture of refined pitch and n lit
tie myrrh upon them at night, wiping
it off the next morning with olive oil.
When about to manicure the hands,
dip the fingers into warm, soapy wa
ter and hold them there for minute
or two in order to soften the nails and
the scarfskin about them.
The scarfskin should be gently push
ed back from the nails before they are
polished. 1t should never unless abso-
lutely necessary be cut with the scis-
sors.
Agnails, improperly called hangnails,
may be prevented by proper attention
to the scarfskln which surrounds the
nails.
For manicuring only pair of curved
nail scissors nail file, an orange stick,
chamois pollsher, bottle of yaseline
and a box of rose salve or nail powder
are ecessary.-Mary e. Walker. III.

cleanliness makes them centers of IN

Pneumonia Is the cause of 40 per cent
of the deaths occurring in the fall, dur
ing the winter and throughout the
spring in our climate The danger Of
exposure from which colds may be con-
tracted cannot be exaggerated. Not
withstanding many denials there Is no
doubt that Grover Cleveland was re-
Gently in serious peril from this cause.
The death of young George M. Pullman
from pneumonia in California Is not
perhaps an instance that can be cited
in speaking of that disease in the lake
belt or along the seashore. But it is an
instance illustrating the fact that in the
Pacific as we'll as in the central and
eastern parts of the continent eonsti-
tutional debility from any cause invites
the ravages of pneumonia and that
strong systems only can repel its at
tacks. Beware of pneumonia. Build
up the system by nutritious foods re-
enforced by innocent tonics. Keep the
raw airs from chilling the respiratory
organs.
