Referring to a verdict recently
given by a coroner's jury that death
was caused by the medical evidence"

NThis verdict may be added TO those
cited In the report of the select com

Doctor Ogle is quoted as saying, One
verdict came before me a little time
ago which was this "A man died
from stone IN the kidney, which stone
he swallowed when lying on a gravel
path In a state of drunkenness" That
was given as a verdict. / thought

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-
Cfally in the summer. But all sorts
of resinous solutions, such az benzoin
and balsam tinctures, should be avoid
ed, as they tend to stop tho exuda-
tions from the oleaglnous glands. 4
teaspoonful of cologne water, alone,
or with a 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. Alkali soaps should
be avoided, as they often produce 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 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.

So Much Luxury That ConVicts Have
Little Desire to Escape-Scenes
at Sarnen.

London.-Prison life in Switzerland
is luxury instead of punishment.
The comic opera Jail at Thorburg,
where the inmates did as they pleased,
as only recently been suppressed by
he Berne authorities, yet details are
published of a similar institution at
Sarnen, in the canton Of Oswald.
Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort, for the happy criminals who
are sentenced to terms Of detention"
in that institution have far better
time than hundreds of 'free" Swiss
citizens who are forced to earn their
bread.
A correspondent of Lausanne pa

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 Torning
and find work around Sarnen or walk
about the country until nightfall,
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-
ployed as a gardener by a local magis-
trate sends his monthly salary to his
wife and children.

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
egulating the employment of children
Inder fourteen.
Among the witnesses was Mr.. Jack
man, a London county council head
MASTER who said employment in bar
oers' 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 tho
lay
ITO say 1t is not natural for boys to
go to bed at 1880 is beside the point"
A doctor said, in commenting on the
evidence. The natural thing to do is
20 sleep when you are tired and get up
when you wake.
children Of fourteen want quite
nine hours sleep and should not have
20 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 well fed
boy who rises with the dawn to go out
and amuse himself coming to any
harm. 1t doesn't do to coddle boys
and it is wicked to overwork them.

adults, physically If not mentally"

ity and the special qualities Of the
skin. The oldest practise, that Of
amounting, Is seldom employed ir aus
tria, as the climate is apt to make the
skin too moist rather than too dry
For women particularly the best after
treatment Of the skin is with powder
especially for the face, neck and
shoulders. with few exceptions, when
properly employed there is nothing
TO be said against IT'S use. But strong
starch powders and Ill unknown
preparations should be carefully
avoided AS absorbent, quickly dry
ing and glistening powder for the
body there is nothing better tlan 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 or
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 viii take
some trouble, as yellow ochre pro
duces so many shades. For special
purposes other powders may be mixed
together; for instance, a large guam
tity of yellow ochre and umber 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
30 to so per cent. makes very good
mixture. Generally it may be said
that ointments are better for winter
use for blondes, and powder and 0l
cohol for the summer, and for bru'
nettes altogether.
