NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Talk of Additional Financial Institu-
tons in Washington.


There have been no further developments
along the line of establishing new financial
institutions in this city. The three projects
which, as stated in The Star, are under way
have not as yet been actually organized.
The preliminary steps have been taken in
the case of the proposed new national
bank and the savings bank. but nothing
more positive in regard to the proposed
new trust company is known. but there is a
pretty we'll settled conviction in local finan-
ciaI circles that such an institution Is be
started.
There are no late rumors relative to the
establishment of other concerns Of like
character. although it is understood that
one of the existing trust companies has had
under consideration plan for starting
branch in Georgetown. No positive conclu-
sion has been reached, SO that project yet
remains among the possibilities.
The opening here for additional financial
institutions was looked upon so favorably,
1t is stated, that a large trust company in
New York seriously contemplated organic
ing company to do business in this city.
1t is also understood that one OF the
large life insurance companies had In view
a similar plan, with the exception that
what was specially in mind was the chance
for finding a profitable investment in an
office building which should be used in
part by the proposed new trust company.
In view Of the later developments 1t is
thought that the out-of-town projectors
will abandon their purpose in this direction.
One reason assigned for the apparent con-
fdence in tine need Of additional financial
institutions is the record made by the trust
companies that have been in business here
for some years. 1t is stated that since 1898
the deposits In these institutions have more
than doubled In amount, while the earnings
have also risen to favorable figures. At
the same time there has been a steady in
crease In the business Of the national banks.

RISKS OF SHAVING.

Danger From the Bacillus in the Bar
s ber's Shop.
From the London Lancet.
The use of soap iather prior to shaving
the beard is regarded merely as q means
Of facilitating the troublesome operation
Soap Is said to extract the oily matters
from the hair ssnd thus to render 1t brittle,
SO that the blade Of the razor saws through
it easily. for1aftsr all. shaving is deli
cate saving process. With sensitive skins.
Of course, a S6Apsof good quality and pre-
ferably free 1fenssalkaline excess Is desir-
able. On the other hand, 1t might be
thought that an excess Of alkalt would pre-
pare the beard more readily than a pure
soap superfatted soap. The corrosive
effect Of aakaii, however, leaves no doubt
as to which description Of soap should be
used. Soap probably plays more impor-
tant role than that Of sapon4fier of the
natural oil OF the hair.
In spite of the fact that those who use
the razor frequently cut themselves, yet
Gus than cut follows. the slight wound
generally healing quickly, and the risk of
septicaemia arising in thds way would seem
to be almost nil. In the majority Of cases
therefore, Ut Is clear that the razor blade
must be bacteriologically cleanA. e., free
from septic matter-which may be attribut-
ed to the fact that probably 1t is dipped
into hot or -steriltzed water before use, or
else that the soap lather Is antiseptic. The
latter explanation seems the more probable
OF the two. The amount of soap rubbed on
the skin is considerable If the shaving is
to be In any degree comfortable, and soap
mas considerable antiseptic power, per
cent solution being sufficient to destroy the
typhoid bacillus There can be little doubt
therefore that the skin Is rendered sterile
by the liberal application of soap, and this
fact Is IN favor Of any cut that may be
made remaining healthy and without any
serious consequence. In a word. soap, In

Mr.. Sanborn entered college at Har-

Teaching the Housemaid How to Do
Her Work Properly.

Teach your housemaid never to
enter room without tapping at the
door, except, of course, parlor or

work is more sure to be done on
time, and insist that her bed shall
be aired az well and her room as
neatly kept as your own.
Give her a tablet and pencil to be
hung on q nail behind the front
door, that she may take the names
of callers who have no cards and
write down messages. Near the tab
let find place for a silver waiter,
on which all cards, notes and bun

When she sweeps room, let it be
done thoroughly. Show her how to
take every ornament from its place
and put it busted and clean on
the bed cover with busting sheet !;
to open the windows, to put all NOV
