PAPER ON LANGUAGE
OF ANCIENT MEXICANS

Among the papers in the appendix to
the annual report OF the Smithsonian
Institution for 1911, made public yester-
day, Prof. Alfred NJ Tozzer OF Harvard
University, contributes Interesting in
formation concerning the value of an
cient Mexican manuscripts in the study
of the development OF writing.
These manuscripts and those OF Central
America have been much neglected, ex-
cept by specialists. an unfortunate state
of affairs, as they constitute important
examples Of primitive ideas regarding
art and Illustration, as well as data OF
great chronological value. The countries
of Mexico and Central America are the
only fields of the New World where any
appreciable data on prehistoric life other
than monuments. implements. and other
objects are found.
The manuscripts OF Mexico are divided
by Prof. Tozzer into two classes, those
written before the advent of the Span
iards and those written during early
Spanish occupation.
Unfortunately, the material available
is very limited. The number of existing
manuscripts is exceedingly small, for
through their efforts to stamp out the
religion, ancient doctrines and teachings
of the natives, the Spaniards destroyed
a large number of manuscripts. The
few remaining are mostly in European
museums, although few are in public
or private collections in Mexico.
The author follows out carefully the
development OF picture-writing into
phonetic writing. where signs are used
without regard to their meaning as pic
lures. but simply for their phonetic
value.
This paper is issued separately from
the report.

SOAPS INJURIOUS TO
MANY DELICATE SKINS

SOAP of any kind is positively injurious
to certain skins. This Is because deli
cate skin is extremely thin, and there
fore easily irr.tated by free alkali and
impure rancid fats, which enter into the
composition OF many soaps. The trrita-
. ton is particularly noticeable after the
use of certain perfumed soaps, due to the
acrid reaction caused by impurities con-
| cealed by the perfume, or else to the
alcohol in the perfume itself.
1t Is for this reason that giycerine-
particularly in its pure form-is TO GER
tain skins one of the most dangerous
lotions that can be applied. particularly
those having a tendency to dry
ness. 1t has a great affinity for water,
literally eating up the natural moisturs
OF the skin. causing II to- chap and crack
painfully. On the other hand, giycerine
Is comparatively beneficial to oily skins
though personally 1 do not advise It
Sea salt in water answers the purpose
much better. than either glycerine or the
majority Of soaps.
Substitute Olive OIL.
Abroad many women have ceased the
use OF soap altogether. substituting a
few drops OF olive oil applied with bit
of absorbent cotton It Is generally con-
tended that olive oil will discoior the
skin, and It is true that In some cases
II will, but the oil is so efficacious In
many other instances, and otherwise sc
harmless and helpful. that 1t Is well
worth a trial. II, however, upon expert
ment, the difficulty exists. q rose-water
and oil combination, which Is white, will
be found to produce agreeable results.
and certainly will be voted preferable to
the highly scented soaps.
Do not misunderstood me either that
soap is to be avoided or that all per-
fumed soaps are injurious On the con-
trary, a good, pure soap should be used
on the face at least once a week, when
ever its effects are not actually Injurious:
and there are several perfumed soaps
that can unhesitatingly be recommended.
for ii must be admitted that without the
use of a soap one hardly feels thoroughly
clean. Cleanliness is. in fact, next to
godliness, and no one can hope to be
considered well groomed and really at
tractive, however regular her features
may be. unless her skin Is perfectly
clean. 1t may not be smooth and fine,
but It can be clean.
Liquid soap, being more sanitary and
rather more economical than the cake
soap. Is being used now privately as well
as in the public places. and here is a
recipe in case you wish to be assured you
are using q pure soap:
Mix thoroughly together a small
amount Of CASTLE soap. powdered or
finely shaved. a pint OF orange water.
one-half dram Of oil OF cinnamon. one
fourth dram of oil OF violet, and one
half ounce Of tincture OF orris. and one
half ounce of rose water. Bottle ii, and
II Is ready for use.

off few trifiing jobs, until they
went to Baltimore, where they put
up at a notorious resort in Caroline
street. There they mapped out a
route through Maryland and Della
ware. Half a score of postofiices
were visited by this little band, and
while the receipts were not especially
big, all received a handsome bonus
for their fortnight's campaign before
arriving at Harrington, Del, where
the band was augmented by the arri-
val Of Johnny Mccarthy, "Pennsyl-
yania Mickey" and Brooklyn Har-
ry.' Several Offices in that immedi-
ate vicinity were rifled, but when it
came to a division of the spoils a
! quarrel arose, and Irish Jimmy"
and Charley Cross left the band and
decided to go it alone.
Jimmy and Charley Cross contin-
! ued to operate in the vicinity Of Will
mington, Del, and then drifted into
Virginia, where they made several
rich hauls-enough to give them sew
eral lively weeks in the resorts of
; Baltimore, Norfolk and Alexandria,
! Va, which last city has long been a
rendezvous for yeggmen who affiliate
with those bands in which Portland
Ned" operated.
While in Alexandria Jimmy and
Cross were told Of an opportunity at
Louisa Court House, Va. So to
Louisa they went. All arrangements
were concluded. and after blowing
the safe they were chagrined to find
1T empty AS they emerged from the
building in i'll humor and sorely dis
