GAS THEORY PREVAILS.

Developments from the inveStiGa-

Prot. Paschkis Of Vienna Gives
Valuable Advice.
Expert in Dermatology Tells Men and
Women What to Do in Properly
Caring for Skin--carefui
as TO Soap.

vienna.-Prof. Heinrich Paschkis, a
distinguished member of the medical
faculty of the University OF Vienna,
and a high authority in dermatology,
has been giving his colleagues some
valuable advice In cosmetics, the re-
suit Of many years experience. He
thinks that doctors make a mistake
in leaving beauty culture to mani
cures and quacks, as they themselves
are much better able to detect the
true causes of slight defects in phys
icai appearance and to remedy them.
hereby bringing happiness to many
women. and men. too.
Professor Paschk1s regards wash
ing and bathing as the foundation of
all cosmetics. The face should be
washed morning and evening, the
body once and the hands several
times during the day. The water
should not be hard; rain, river or
boiled water is best. For the body
the water may be according to custom
and sensitiveness, from go to 6S de-
grees, warmer for the hands and quite
hot for the face. AS reTresher i'm
mediately after the hot water cold
water can be used to bathe the face.

New York.-Possum and raccoon

Snakes are not at all bad, once peo-

skin too moist rather than too dry.
For women particularly the best after

shoulders. With few exceptions, When

ing and glistening powder for the
body there is nothing better than the
finest tale powder.
But as it Is shiny and doesn't stick
to the skin it must, when used FOR
visible parts of the body, be mixed
with some preparations of chalk OF
oxide Of zinc. AS white and rose
colored powders make the skin look
blue they should be mixed with vel
low ochre and a little carmine made
to a chamois color. This will take
some trouble, as yellow ochre pro
duces SO many shades. For special
purposes other powders may be mixed
together; for instance, large guam,
tity Of yellow ochre and lumber brown
for protection against the sun. In
every case before going to bed the
powder must be removed from the
skin by grease.
Another after treatment consists in
the use of alcoholic washes. scented
or unscented. Cologne water diluted
80 to SO per cent. makes a very good
mixture. Generally 1t may be said
that ointments are better for winter
use for blondes. and powder and al

EASY LIFE in SWISS PRISON

ner carrying bricks for the construc-
ton Of a new building. To his aston
ishment the correspondent found that
the men were convicts from the can
tonal prison close by.
These convicts were permitted to
leave the prison early in the morning
and find work around Sarnen or walk
about the country until nightfan,
when they return of their own accord
to the prison.
They are unaccompanied by war
dens and there is nothing to prevent
their escaping, but they are far too
comfortable to think of relinquishing
their quarters, for they have as much
liberty as other men and are, more
over, fed and lodged for nothing.
The money earned by those convicts
who choose to work can be spent as
they like. One convict who Is en-
Dloyed as gardener by local magis-
trate sends his monthly salary to his
wife and children.
Two or three convicts escaped"
several weeks ago, but they eventual
ly returned to the prison in half fam.

CARING FOR FACE

A quick succession of not and cold
face baths is very good for treating
red faces and the same may be used
for red hands.
Fragrant toilet additions for the
face washing are often desired, espe-
cially in the summer. But all sorts
OF resinous solutions. such as benzoin
and balsam tinctures, should be avoid
ed, as they tend to stop the exuda-
tons from the oleaginous glands. A
. teaspoonful of cologne water. alone
or with few drops of vinegar, can
be added with benefit to the water for.
washing the face.
For the ordinary bath aromatic
tinctures or ether oils mixed in the
water will not only produce a pleas-
ant odor, but will also exert a mildly
stimulating effect on the skin.
Great care must be exercised in the
choice of soap, Aikai soaps should
be avoided, as they often proddce skin
eruptions. Neutral soaps are TO be
preferred. The soap must be thor
oughly washed off and the skin dried
with rough linen towels by vigorous
rubbing toward the center. Sensitive
skins should be dried with a soft
cloth. An air bath is specially good
for the body after the ordinary one.
Very highly important is the treat
ment of the skin after washing. Some
sort of after treatment is really nee
essary, not alone in beauty culture,
but for the rational care of the skin.
Ointments, powders, alcoholic liquids
or combinations of various kinds can
be employed. according to individual

which appears periodically at their
islands, and the natives leave all
other occupations to gather the harv-
est of worms.
In Japan ferns of several kinds are
eaten to a great extent, while burdock
is raised extensively for the tuberoua
roots, and seaweeds of various kinds
form an important article Of diet.
On the American coast there are
numerous edible seaweeds, but few
people are aware that they are edible
and nutritious. In fact, the value Of
sea animals and plants as food Is lit

Asiatic or South Sea islander would
find abundant food If cast away on
an oceanic island.
Crabs, shrimp, sea shells, In fact,
nearly every marine creature is edi-

or 'sea cucumbers," so abundant In
many tropical seas. are considered a
great delicacy by many races, and the
industry of gathering, drying and
shipping these is very important in
the Malaysian and Australian waters.
Dried and prepared for market,
these creatures are known as beche-
de-mer, and bring good price In the
Japanese, Chinese, Greek and south
ern European markets The octopus
or devilfish is also eaten extensively
in China, Japan. Greece and West In

EARLY RISING BAD FOR BOYS
Londoner Maintains That Children Up
Before Sunrise Are Usually
Dull During Day.

London.-The old idea that 1t is
good for boys to get up early and hus-
tie about was vigorously assailed at a
public inquiry at Spring gardens into
the London county council bylaws
regulating the employment of children
under fourteen.
Among the witnesses was Mr.. Jack
man, London county council head
master. who said employment in bar
bers' shops was particularly objection
able. as the boys learned to bet and
talk about horses and horse racing,
Young children who had to get up
early were liable to be dull during the
day.
TO say 1t Is not natural for boys to
go to bed at 1880 is beside the point"
doctor said. In commenting on the
evidence. "The natural thing to do is
to sleep when you are tired and get up
when you wake.
Children of fourteen want quite
nine hours sleep and should not have
to work SO that their systems are
overtaxed.
If they do 1t Is quite probable that
getting up in the dark on raw winter
mornings will. particularly when they
have to trudge through snow and
slush, give rise to bronchial and lung
trouble. They are not in a condition
to resist chills.
But you never hear Of we'll fed
boy who rises with the dawn to go out
and amuse himself coming to any
harm. 1t doesn'a do to coddle boys
and it is wicked to overwork them.
Overworked children are failures as
adults, physically il not mentally"

Trapping Birds.

A bird expert has returned to Eu-
rope from the West Indies with over
two hundred captives. He boiled
down .tree-sap into thick, sticky
mess, and put it on shrubs and
branches at places where birds took
food and drink. Once they grasped
the sticky percnes they we're fast and
could not fly away, says the expert.
Some were caught by tying to a
string large grains which girds swal-
lowed, and there they were. Among
the captives are starlings, fnches,
pigeons, doves, hepons and canaries.
