was decided Monday when In the

over these measures and the need of q

The World Is Shaving Again After
Fifty Years of whiskers.
Nothing is presently palmer in a
world that loves its little mysteries and

Punishment of nearly two centuries,
from at least the Anglo-Saxon face,
says Harper's Weekly. During all the
time since the early eighteen-fifties the
full beard has been the exception rather
than the rule. The razor has not been
suffered to rust in disuse, but has been
employed In dlsfiguring most physi-
ognomies In obedience to the prevalent
fashion, or the personal caprice Of the
wearers Of hair upon the face, where
nature has put it for reasons still of her
own. For one man who let nature have
her way unquestionel by the steel, there
have been ninety-nine men who have
modified her design. Some have shaved
all but little spot on the under lip;
others have continued the imperial
grown there into the pointed goatee;
others have worn the chin beard square
cut from the corners Of the lips, which
has become in the alien Imagination
distinctively the American beard; 9TH
ers have shaved the chin and let the
mustache branch across the cheeks to
meet the flowing fringe Of the side
whiskers; others have shaved all but
the whiskers shaped to the likeness of
mutton chop; the most of all have
shaved the whole face except the upper
lip, and worn the mustache alone. All
these fragmentary forms of beard carl
catured the human countenance, and
reduced it more or less to ridiculous
burlesque of the honest visages of vari
Gus sorts Of animals. They robbed it OF
the sincerity which is the redeeming
virtue of the clean-shaven face, and of
the dignity which the full beard i'm
parted no less to middle-life than to age.

A remedy claimed by it's inventor az

specialists at Berlin and the medical
profession generally. 1t consists OF
the inhalation OF vapor produced by
heating mixture of eucalyptus oil.

that II is more effective than any
serum remedy hitherto tried.
Robert Schneider, druggist. of
berlin, conceived the idea while trav'
cling IN parts OF Australia, where the
eucalyptus tree grows luxuriantly.
Consumption is almost unknown
among the inhabitants OF these dis
tricts and sufferers from the disease
who go there improve speedily Herr
Schneider upon returning to Berlin
communicated his idea TO DR.. Sommer-
field, physician OF high repute, who

mouths As result 60 OF 100 patients
treated by him were completely cured.
The limitation OF the vapor kills the

were kept in an atmosphere impreg-
mated with the fumes night and day
until they showed signs of relief. Dr.
Sommerfeld will read q paper on the
subject before the Berlin Medical So

the new curative agent, which is called
Sanosin, constitutes an enormous ad-
vance in the trea ment OF tuberculosis.
