BARBERs' SHOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Own Brush and Comb-Carbolic Acid
 for the Razor.

The transference to his GUS toners, by means of his hands and instruments, of many parasit- ic skin diseases has long been rec ognized as one of the unnecessary accomplishments of the necessary barber. Among these affections, says American Medicine, are sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo- pecia and furunculosis that is more or less chronic in type. Dr. Graham Chambers states that during the past five years impeti- go circinati has been very prev alent in Toronto, scarcely a month passing without an outbreak of from two to thirty cases, gener- ally traceable to a common source. The barber shop is so com monly the source that he desig- mates the disease as "barbers' inn petigo." Quite recently Dr. W. A. Hardaway has called attention l to point which he believes, and we think rightly, has been but lit tie realized by the medical profes- sion. That is the frequency with which carbuncles are acquired i'll barber shops. He has seen many cases of carbuncle in, which the evidence of this means of trans mission was to him indisputable. The relative importance of this se- rious affection as compared with l the other diseases mentioned needs scarcely to be impressed. For the prevention of contagion in barber shops, Hardaway be- lieves that we will be forced to rely upon an educated public opinion rather than upon compul- sorry laws directed against the l barber. He recommends that each patron of barber shop pro- vide himself with a box, contain ing his own brush and comb, . small package of absorbent cot ton and a five per cent. carbolic acid solution. The barber will then wipe his shears or clippers with the solution, and use the pa tron's comb and brush. For the man who slaves his own soap, cup and brush are necessities. These suggestions are sensible. To car ry them out properly means some inconvenience, but it is worth while, especially to the aged and debilitated, or to those suffering from diabetes or similar diathe- sis. Physicians attending such pa tients should extend them warn ing in this reEard.

ANCIENT DOLL-LIKE IDOLS.
Were Found Embedded in Walls of Ancient Cliff Dwellings Near
 Santa Ee.

While exploring the -Puye and Shufinne cliff dwellings near San- ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. Scheuss- Ter discovered some antiques of a kind not previously cataloA ued by students of that region. No ticing upon the wall of an ancient dwelling some spots of an unu- sual color, he dug into the soft stone with his pocketknife and discovered hole 5 inches in diam eter and 12 inches deep, partly filled with mud. Inside was i'm bedded a stick on which was mounted a dolls head. In the same hole was a small, highly pol ished turquoise.
 Dr. Schuessler investigated fur ther. He found three more of the sealed openings, each of them containing a doll and turquoise. One of the holes contained piece of petrified resin, in which tooth marks indicated that it had been used as the chewing gum of the day. The probability is that the doll heads were idols, but the sig nifcance of burying them in the mesa walls and the presence of the turquoise are not explained.

Expert opinion is divided as TO
whether a serious engagement is like

Some even are bold enough to take
it that Gen. Kuropatlxin is preparing
to assume the offensive; but in view
of the fact that most reliable advices
credit him with only about six divis-
ions at Mukden, this is exceedingly
improbable. 1t Is thought more likely
that the commotion had to do with
one or the other Of the Japanese
Ranking columns, which the Russian
commander may have been preparing
to check.
May Have Left Port Arthur.
In Russian oficial circles some
credenee is given to the rumor that
Admiral Wren has left Port Arthur

because q severe storm on Tuesday
is regarded as having made such q
dash possible. Time-expired members
of the Guards regiment In st. Peters
