GROWTH OF GERMANY's CAPITAL
Shows Influence of Modern Trans
portation Methods.

The influence of improved modern inter-
urban transportation in the growth OF the
German capital is the subject of a recent
report by United States Consul General Ma
son at Berlin in giving the results of re-
cent census
by the census of December l. 1900" says
he. 1.-The aggregate population of the twenty
two suburban towns and cities which form
the outer fringe of Berlin was 6S,. u.s. which.
added to that of Berlin itself gave a total
of 2.112. O26 inhabitants. BY the census OF
December 1904 the same suburbs show a
population of SS6377. gain of 203. 1871 souls
in four years. which, added to the gain OF
101, $50 in Berlin proper. gives a net Increase
of 321 900. or an average of ~. 26i per an
mum. The present enumeration, therefore,
raises the German capital. counting only
the territory and people who in fact do bust
ness in and belong to the city, toa metropolis
of 2Sl'.OSS people. with reasonably GER
tain prospect of passing the 1900 90 mile
stone some time in 1906.
1T would be interesting to know how
much of this steady increase has been due
to migration-the removal of people from
country districts and other cities to the cap
ital-and how much represents the natural
increase of this vigorous and prolific race.
Unfortunately the statistics do not reveal
this, and We are left to draw what inference
is most obvious from the archives of the bu-
reau Of vital statistics. where the records of
births and deaths are kept with character
istic thoroughness and accuracy. From this
evidence it appears that during the seven
years from 1894 to 1909, both inclusive, the
excess of births over deaths for every 10000
inhabitants of Berlin carried from 81 in 1873
to los in 1897, with an average of % per an
mum. With total population of say 1.SO,-
CO., this excess of births over deaths alone
would give net annual increase of $40
souls, SO that nearly four-fifths of the rapid
growth of population in Berlin and its sub
urbs remain to be accounted for by migra-
ton from the rural districts. other German
cities and immigration from foreign coun-
tries

Disorders.


Although the majority of womankind
IRE fairly we'll informed as to the vari-
,us methods used in the newest treat
ment for skin or scalp troubles, or in the
work Of removing traces Of neglect, not
one in hundred stops to inquire into
The especially important subject OF ster-
LIKING all instruments necessary in this
work in such a manner that the well be-
ing of the patrons may be assured, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In fact, SO careless are many women
in this respect that. although the souls
Of daintiness as far as their personal be-
longings are concerned, they seem to be
perfectly oblivious to the dangers they
may run in submitting to treatments
from the hands of one who is not well
enough informed to realize the impera-
tive demand for scrupulous attention to
the details Of her work.
For instance, in the popular works of
massage alone there are many ways in
which most disagreeable cutaneous dis
orders may be acquired, unless the ut
most precaution is observed. First of
all. one should demand that for each
subject clean covering for the top Of
the operating chair must be provided.
The bandage used about the head to
keep the locks from becoming oily must
also be taken from freshly laundered
assortment, while the towels used about
the neck OF the gown will naturally come
from the same source. This is but the
beginning Of the good work, and now
one must observe the operator. If she
does her work carefully she will scrub
her hands thoroughly not only the mo-
ment she finishes one massage, but also
before she commences another, and in
addition she will immerse them in an
antiseptic solution.
The cup that is used for cleansing the
face before the massage is commenced
must also be immersed in a sufficiently
strong lotion and allowed to remain in
this mixture until ready for use, when
it may be rinsed with very warm water
or washed in milder lotion, if neces-
sary.
All electrical instruments, such as the
rollers, tiny hammers, vibratiles. must
also be sterilized in the same manner,
and here, when one might think precau-
tions could cease, still another matter is
to be considered. This is in connection
with the cream to be used upon the skin
for the purpose of aiding the manipula-
tion and also for remedying various de-
fects.
Although this cream is a necessity and
may even have medicinal qualities, still,
if the operator dips her fingers into the
jar and applies the cream to the face Of
one patient, then continues the same
tactics whit others as they appear. the
oils may easily become fertile breeding
places for the very germs one has sought
to avoid in adopting the other precau-
tions just mentioned. The only way to
avoid this danger is to remove sufficient
cream for use in one massage by dip
ping a bit of cotton into the jar, or else
by means of a small ivory instrument,
thus not inserting the fingers at all.
