Indeed there is more menace in this one kind of
glove than in all the other sorts combined. Think
of putting pair of gloves to sweep or to
dust, or to clean silver or to blacken stove and
then, after the dust and particles of silver pol
ish and bits of blackng from which you have
protected your hands have syy crept inside
the gloves through the opening above the first

work without gloves than to cover them with

whereas, if gloves are worn ten to one the hands

which is bound to come from the gloves gets
ground into the skin and is hard to remove.
As to amounting the hands at night and then
pulling gloves over them-too much cannot be
said against this In the first place it defeats
its own ends by reddenng, through overhead

gloves are used more than once the practice is
disgusting Think it over
So it seems that we are to go to balls with our
hands as nature gave them, to appear on
the streets with hands uncovered and we are to
do all sorts of cleaning without gloves. The
glove must go-and then the muff for the
muff is great dust collector. We must use our
pockets, if we are a man, and if we belong TO

~ sicians have announced that the wear
LCJ ing of gloves is not hyglenic, that it
is a "drty" custom! that it breeds
disease and makes the hands ugly. And the

whence sounds the warning, are eschewing gloves

hands more comfortable as a result, but that
they are growing beautiful
There have been an alarming number of
"donts" spoken by physicians and scientists in
this twentieth century and the bewilderng part
Of it all is that they make list full of contra
dictions that mankind to follow it conscien-
tiously would take, alternately, cures and their
antidotes. 1t does seem that the best solution
is to cast aside such contradictory science and
live by the rule of common sense. And this
latest don't has just that in its favor.
Another thing recommends it to the feminine
mind-though the warning is for as well as
for woman-it brings about change of fash
ion Before touching further on this point let
the M. DIS finish their war on the glove.
Tight gloves, they say, not only redden and
disigure the hands, but they also impair the
health of the body. There was more truth than
appeared on the surface of the reason for hasti-
ly pulling off his white gloves at big social
function, given by old gentleman unaccus-

ing wife.
TIGHT GLOVES INJURIOUS.
If the gloves were tight, as they most likely
were, there was some truth in this picturesque
cry for liberty, for the arteries of the hands and
wrists have direct heart connection and if much
pressure is brought to bear upon them a feeling
of suffocation is apt to result. Tight gloves are
as injurious to the circulation as is a tight collar
and they have about the same effect Everyone
knows that to have the neckband or the collar
too tight is to produce mottled face and red
nose, and wearing tight gloves will disfgure the
against tight gloves, but against gloves of any
size; because there is a tendency to wear too
snug fit, however gloves received their first
black mark.
"You can't wear gloves and be absolutely
clean is the startling statement boldly put forth,
and it is very good that the doctor who made
it back it up by proof sufficient to appease
the wrathful Indignation of the multitude OF
glove wearers. He called down upon him a
storm of angry protests to which he put the
questions:
How long is the average life of pair of kid
gloves?
How many baths of hot water and soap are
they given in that lifetime?
How often are they turned inside out, clear
to the finger tips and hung out in the air?
How many dirty surfaces have they touched
from newness to out stage?
How often have they been pulled over
hands not quite clean?
These questions are revelations to those who
have never thought seriously on the subject.

Engine-drivers require an iron nerve to
drive an express train during fog that OBJ
scures the signals, but the man on whom he relies
for safe running is the fog-signalman. The sight
of these men appearing at intervals along the
line inspires him with the confidence that no
amount of ingenious appliances could give, for
the fog-man is in practice human substitute for
the ordinary methods of signaling, which to the
driver are nonexistent for the time being.
[ Fogmen are drawn from the gangs of plate
layers, their occupation of repairing the line be-
ing too hazardous to follow during fog. Fog
men are divided into three classes-callmen, fog
sgnalmen, and reliefmen-and, for the purpose of
signalling the line is divided up into sections
the entrance of each section being guarded by
distant" or ''fsh-tail' signal. This signal indi-
Gates the state of the section ahead, and if at
danger the driver knows that he must reduce
speed, and be prepared to stop dead at the next,
or home, signal, until the section is clear
Each fogman has definite post allotted to
him, to which he repairs when fog comes on.
On his way to the signal which he is "fogging"
he reports TO the signalman at the nearest cabin,
obtains a supply of detonators flags, and a
hand-lamp. Arrived at his post, he fixes on the
rail two detonators, ten yards apart. So long
as the signal remains at danger" the two de-
tonators are kept on the rail, and are exploded
