everything in its way had to go.
Neither a theater nor a church was

is going down before the ring of the

MODEL TOWNS FOR
YOUNG AMERICANS
Twelve New Villages Near New York
for Children of the City Streets-The
"eoy Specialist" and His Work.

New York. Sept. 4.-(Special CORE
spondence Of the Republican-)--Includ-
ing several now being built, twelve
villages have been established within
the vicinity of New York during the
past few years to serve as homes for
children. The New York Juvenile asy-
Ium was the first OF the reformatory
institutions in this city TO move out
into the open country where its young
charges could live in pretty cottage
homes surrounded by gardens. farm
lands and Fairgrounds. The success Of
this change from the oldtime barracks
life was so marked that eleven other
reformatories have followed the eX-
ample set By the Juvenile asylum. In
all these village colonies, children from
the slums and the tenements are
taught farming and various trades In
addition to receiving common school
education and learning how 10 play
the street boy is pathetically lacking
in all knowledge Of healthy pastimes.
The young villagers in their rural sur
roundings are brought into contact
with Mother Nature who browns their
cheeks, builds up impoverished bodies,
and straightens out mental and moral
kinks.
The new order OF things is a vast
helping the street boy. And. apart
from the change in his surroundings,
the asylum boy of today also benefits
from a better understanding of his
case By those who have him in charge.
Time was when it was thought that
any ruffian was fit to be tine keeper Of
l,tr+
colIeel now prevails and it is recogniz-
ed that special knowledge and training
are required in dealing with the boys
if the work OF reform is to succeed.
Such knowledge and experience are
needed to gain the confidence Of the
typical street boy at the start. IL any
one doubts this, il would be made
clear to him should he attempt to learn
anything at first hand about one Of the
army OF New York gamins who have
been called the princes of the street"
The novice is Immediately "up

THE GENERALS CORK LEG.

The man who captured Gen. Santa
Annals cork leg. the most interesting
relic of the Mexican war, is still living.
He is Edwin Elvin Elliott, who now
lives at San Rafael. Cal. Mr.. Elliott
belonged to the Fourth Illinois regi-
ment, which captured the gaily capa-
risoned coach Of General Santa Anna.
The coach had been riddled with bull
lets, and the harness had been cut. As
the soldiers came up they saw one man
escape on one of the mules. They
found afterward it was the general
himself. Mr.. Elliott was the first man
into the coach, and the first thing he
seized was the generals cork leg.
which he handed out to his comrades.
Also, the soldiers came across a nice
basket OF luncheon, which they de-
voured, and some $4,000 in gold coin,
which they guarded and turned over
to the government.

A USE FOR CACTl.

Outside of its use as a hedge 10
turn cattle. the cactus plant has been
pretty much of nuisance wherever il

a company has just been formed to
erect a plant for the extraction of
alcohol. ether, and fiber from all forms
of cacti- The concern will be knwon
as the Ell Paso Chemical and Fiber
Works. The works will be in an adobe
building because it is easier to MAIN
tain certain temperatures necessary in
the process. The capacity of the works
will be twenty tons a day. which
means that profitable employment Will
be found for many in cutting the cacti

is to sentence the refractory boy to the

healthful are terribly monotonous

pleasure and play enjoyed by all the
other boys. this method is quite suffi-

WHlsKERLEss EPOCH, THIS
Clean Shaver Faces Are the Rule for
Health, is the Modern Edict.

This is whiskerIess generation,
: says the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch. Nine
men out of every ten wear neither
boards nor mustache. and the ratio be-
tween the smooth shaver and mus
tached men on the one hand and the
bearded men on the other is one to
one hundred or even greater.
The Spanish American war called a
brieS revival of boards. the Van Dyke
being a fad among military men. and
a few young men who did not serve in
the army but who followed the lead set
by the soldiers. But the old-fashioned
bushy beard. or burnsides." and the
goatee, are under the ban. Boards to-
day are worn almost exclusively by
elderly men.
The beard naturally is a sign of
strength and fighting proclivities. The
buffalo who roamed the plains. led the
herd on its wanderings. headed the
charge when enemies were met, wore
black goatee-like cluster of long hairs
under his great chin. The lion has a
tawny beard and great shaggy name.
which add much to the ferocity of his
appearance. Male goats and deer have
very well-developed boards, especially
the elk. Many of the more powerful
OF the ape and monkey tribes are sim
ilarly adorned BY nature.
The ancient Saxons and the North
men wore their hair flowing and uncut,
and long boards fell upon their great
muscular chests. Ii was the sign of a
serf or slave with them to cut the hair
or the beard. The "free-necked man"
and the warrior was as proud OF the
profusion of hair on his face and head
as he was of his courage.
But the ancient Roman who stands
out among the men of all history as
the arch type of personal and national
force was smooth shaver and his hair
was worn short.
In England, germany and Russia
the beard is wsrn most. 1t has not
been a very popular adornment in
America excsus during the civil war,
and for some years after the war, by
men who took part in the events Of
that time. Boards and war go togeth-
er. Men wear boards when they go to
fight. But the japanese, who admin
istered such a drubbing TO Russia, are
"a beardless nation.
This is an aseptic age. The microbe
is a great bug-a-boo OF our modernI
civilization. Physicians, who are the
only persons that ever really saw a.
microbe, declare that the beard and the
mustache are regular happy homes for
these invisible enemies of the flesh.
The doctors tell us that germs grow
in Furnishes like tadpoles in stag
nant pool. That is one of the great
est reasons why facthirsute adorn-
ments have been moved from the
cheeks and chins of our countrymen.
Few will heed the medical man when
he pronounces against the kiss, the
great joy of so many lives. But many
will heed him when he assails the
germ Laden lambrequins. No man
wants a flowing beard with a company
of microbes laughing and dancing on
every siiken strand thereof. Better a
smooth face, though the chin lack
pulchritude, than glossy mutton
