Conductors and Trainmen
Delegates in Convention
in Washington.

Plans for the readjustment of the pay
scale and other conditions affecting the
conductors and brakemen on railroads
operating in the South, are being
formed by the delegates attending the
annual convention Of the Southern
Association Of Conductors and Train
men in session in this city.
The delegates 10 this convention,
which is meeting in the Jolly Fat Mems
Club, are the presidents Of the various
sO-called local unions. and are 23O in
number. Although the conditions under
which the men are working are not as
satisfactory as might be. according to
them, a strike on any Of the half-dozen
railroads affected is by no means con-
sidered likely. The officers of the assO-
citation feel certain that the various
roads will consider any reasonable
proposition offered by the men 10 the
satisfaction of the latter, and that there
will be no trouble growing out Of the
requests to be presented.

TABLET WILL MARK
FIRST STATION SITE

The three-story building at the north
west corner Of Second street and Penn
sylvania avenue, the first floor of which
Is occupied by a fruit and clothing store,
is built upon the site of the first steam
railroad station in Washington. This
site has been tentatively selected by the
citizens historic site committee to be
marked with a permanent tablet.
The first station was built at that
corner in 1885 by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and it was abandoned
as a station in 1853 when the larger
building was constructed at New Jer-
sey avenue and @ street, which served
as the terminus of the Baltimore and
OHIO railroad at the National Capital

Of pressed brick and was three and 4
half stories high. II stood back from
the present building line about fifty
feet. and it was Joined on its Second
street side by . long car shed. The so

away, located IN what would now be
the center Of the Census office build

Prot, PasChkIs of Vienna Gives
Valuable Advice.
Expert in Dermatology Tells Men and
Women What to Do In Properly
Caring for Skn-CarefuI
as to Soap.

Vienna-Prof. Heinrich Paschkis, q
distinguished member of the medical
faculty of the University Of Vienna,
and high authority in dermatology,
has been giving his colleagues some
valuable advice i'll 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
ical appearance and to remedy them,
thereby bringing happiness to many
women, and men. too.
Professor Paschkls 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 60 to 68 de.
grees, warmer for the hands and quite
hot for the face. AS q reTresher i'm
mediately after the hot water, cold
water can be used to batne the face.

SOCIALISTS URGE CITY MARKET
Would Bring Producer and Consumer
Together.

La Crosse.-The chief plank in the
socialist city platform will be one re-
lating to the high cost of living"
Home rule, comprehending a great
er degree Of democracy, will be an
other plank.
The Farmers Equity society's
movement for a state packing house
is indOrsed, and the idea will be ex-
tended so as to include a city slaugh-
ter house
The adoption of the various planks
suggested for the platform will be
passed upon at a referendum to be in
itiated by the local socialist party
The offer of Mayor Seidel of Mil
Waukee to deliver an address here has
been accepted, and later similar of
fer from Victor Berger, congressman
elect from the fifth district, will be
accepted
The relief for the cost of living will
be a general city market in which the
food necessities of life will be
handled. 1t is possible that this may
be extended to a free city market
where farmers and others can sell
their produce. A general competitive
market for grain and livestock, with
local buyer to promote competition
may be added.

For the last five months losses have

Suspicion pointed to Sanska.
1t has been customary to throw the
mail sacks into the car early in the
morning before the arrival of the
clerks, during which time Sanska was
engaged in cleaning the car. Fraser
concealed himself behind the sacks in
the car and caught Sanska opening a
sack and taking out several packages.

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 all unknown
preparations should be carefully
avoided. AS absorbent, quickly dry
ing and glistening powder for the
body there is nothing better t!lan 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 yell
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, 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
so to so per cent. makes a very good
mixture. Generally it may be said
that ointments are better for winter
use for blondes, and powder and al.
cohol for the summer, and for bru-
nettes altogether.

CARING FOR FACE

quick succession of not and cold
red faces and the same may be nsed
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 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 q 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 proouca 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

Crickets are also dried and ground
into meal by Oregon and California

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-

Japanese, Chinese, Greek and south
ern European markets The octopus
or devilfish is also eaten extensively
in China Japan, Greece and West In
dies, and when this repulsive looking
creature is pounded into a pulp and
made into soup it is really excellent.
In the West Indies the natives are
fond of the great tree lizards known
as iguanas. These creatures often
grow to five or six feet in length, and
the meat is white, tender and favored
much like chicken.
In the West Indies there is a ma
tive land frog which is considered a
delicacy by natives and European
visitors alike These big tropical
frogs are eaten whole, and are either
fried, broiled or stewed, and taste so
much like chicken or quail they are
commonly called mountain chicken
when served on hotel tables.
The French and Italians consider
snails and slugs as dainties of the
highest order, while picked earth
worms are a common relish in south
ern Europe and Asia.
In New Zealand there occurs grub
which lives in the earth and which is
often affected by fungous growth
that springs from the grub's neck and
pushes upward to the surface of the
earth. These worm grown nush-
rooms are gathered and eaten, and
are said to be very delicious when
properly cooked.
Doubtless many other insects are
edible, and the Chinese even devour
the chrysalids of the silkworm after
the silk is unwound from the cocoon.
