Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 16, 1S56-A meeting of dis
tinguished savants" was held this
morning at the corner of Tenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, south side, to
determine the character Of certain phe-
nomena developed there in the shape of
two immense conical projections of
earth, of which nobody-not even the
street commissioner-was able to give
any satisfactory account. Continuing
its report of this unusual scientific"
conference, The Evening Star this aft
ernoon says:
Various theories were preached as
to the nature and cause Of these up
heavings. Prof. Guyascutus was of the
opinion that they were of volcanic orr
gin and he had been at same pains to
ascertain their geological character,
with the following curious results:
"The primary formation bore O re-
markable resemblance to the paving
stones Of modern times, demonstrating
conclusively that the Wanted discov-
cries of the age are nothing more than
limitations and adaptations of natures
works. Upon this formation there rested
stratum of marine bivalvular testocea
similar to oyster shells, mixed with
stalks Of gigantic plants of the car
boniferous period. Prof. G. was conf
dent these were not cabbage stalks,
though from their close resemblance
they were well calculated to deceive the
inexperienced eye.
upon this stratum there was q de-
post Of quartz-of dirty water-the pc
culiar aroma of which had offered con-
siderable impeachment to the march of
scientific research, but his labors had
finally been rewarded by the discovery
of fine specimen Of argilaceous slate
singularly enough, with q pencil at
tached to it-also specimen of trap,
or rather the spindle of one, baited
with cheese. In consequence Of having
received severe fall, when these masses
were first brought to his notice he was
able to exhibit some remarkable epeci-
mems Of blue kneiss (knees?).
From the suddenness with which
these cones have developed from their
sulphurous and pungent odor, and from
other circumstances, he had come to the
conclusion that Tenth street Is rapidly
becoming volcanic and that an eruption
may be looked for any moment.
these mounds were Indian tumulti, of
Western States. Prof. Daffodowndilly
was inclined to believe that these bodies
were OF meteoric nature. Prof. D. an
nounced his intention to write imme-
diately to Profs. Bond and Mitchell Of
the Cambridge and Cincinnati observa-
tries asking them to search the heavens
to ascertain II any asteroids are miss

culated report Of misconduct on the
part of Jarnac, hoping the latter would
be drawn into duel with him and 30
perish.
Jarnae was q brave man.
Permit us. SIRE" he pleaded with
Francis I, Ito settle this matter by
judicial combat"
Francis refused. But when he died
and Henry II came to the throne the
situation changed. Henry. gave his
consent.
The combat took place at st. Ger
main-en-Laye on beautiful June day
in 1547, with the royal family, the no.
bility and officers Of the court and army
looking on.
When the word was given to "let
the combatants go" confident Chas-
taignerie rushed upon a pale but de-
termined Jarnac.
The latter for time took the defen-
sive. But soon he began to counter as
savagely as his opponent attacked.
Both received desperate cuts upon their
arms.
There was a brief breathing spell.
Then they resumed. La Chastaignerie
now attempted a murderous lunge, when
Jarnac by q skillful thrust cut the ham
Of one Of his legs, seriously Gripping
MIN. a moment laLer, avoiding announcer
fierce lunge, he cut the ham of La
Chastaignerie's other leg. He fell to
the ground, completely at Jarnacs
mercy.
A great murmur ran through the as
sembled spectators. Then silence fell
as Jarnac approached his fallen foe.
"Congess you are liar. restore to me
my honor. and you shall live" he was
heard to say.
La Chastaignerie was silent. In his
defeat and humiliation he had no de-
sire to live.
Jarnac turned to the King.
"I beseech your majesty to accept
the life Of this man for Gods sake and
for lowest he urged. II do not wish
to have his blood on my soul. fought
merely for the restoration OF my honor"
La Chastaignerie. on his knees, wished
to continue the battle, and refused all
surgical aid. But loss of blood weak
ened him. He fell over dead.
Henry II praised Jarnac as one who
fought like Caesar and talked like
Aristotle" The next day he issued his
historic edict.

q few days you'll probably find the
most stubborn case Of constipation will
disappear.
Mrs. M. NJ. M: For an EPSON salts
bath the proportions are four heaping
handsful of the salts to half of bath
tubful of hot water. This would be a
bath intended for opening the pores a
great deal In case Of colds, or clearing
the system when there Is tendency to
rheumatism or other illnesses Of sim
liar nature.
Miss l.. E.: I am sure that the tonic
would help your scalp recover from the
sluggish state it Is in as result OF
your bad attack of flu. It has helped
a great many others who were affected
just as you are.
Nora T. k: At 81 years of age the
lines on your neck may easily be erad-
icated even though you must bend over
your work most OF the day. Massage
them out every evening with a little
cream on the fingers to facilitate the
movements, carry the strokes or the
rotary movements up and over the chin
to help you get rid Of that extra full
ness that is just beginning to appear.
Learn to carry your head perfectly
when not at work and that will coun-
teract the strain Of the daytime bending
forward.
H M: Try simple astringent like
witch hazel whenever the perspiratioE
in your armpits becomes excessive. A
powder with a very small per cent of
salicylic acid added to 1t Is sometimes
used with very good effect in such
cases, as 1t becomes an astringent and
also a deodorizer Too much perspira-
ton in any one part Of the body may
be traced to nervousness or a rundown
state, and the cure would come when
the person Is built up again.

Acne.

Doctors tell me that an increasing
number of people are suffering from
acne rosaceae, one of the various forms
of acne and one of the least pleasant.
This comes from a variety of causes,
generally an alimentary disturbance,
and quite frequently from dyspepsia
and from too much tea, too many cur
ries and particularly too much alcohol.
The immediate cause, however, Is .
disturbance Of the oil glands Of the
skin; usually the scalp develops dan
druff at the same time.
Rich foods, and particularly currieS,
tea and coffee should be eliminated as
far, as possible; alcohol must be COM
pletely eliminated. Cosmetics, at least
the oily kind, should only be used when
the skin feels uncomfortably dry. The
face should be washed with quite warm
water and lather of CASTLE soap twice
a day, If It. is then too dry. o little
almond on NAV be rubbed into 1t before
powdering. Last thing at night the
skin should be cleansed with soap and
water, lotion. applied containing ich-
thyol Cyou'd best get q prescription for
this from your doctor. You must not
only cover the spots but all the area
around them with this dark looking but
very valuable lotion. If this makes the
skin too dry, Use q medicated cream
next morning. Your doctor can give
you a prescription for this at the same
time.
You must take particular care to

The directors assure us that the new
long skirts are unhygienic. They permit
their pessimism to persuade them that
the tendency to longer skirts will end
only with skirts that trail on the ground.
And they see in the tendency toward q
more defined waistline indication That
we shall soon all be wearing stays.
There really is something to be said
in favor Of the present mode even from
the point Of view of hygiene and good
sense. These new more stately clothes
that follow the lines of the figure
more closely demand a more upright
carriage than the straight, loose clothes
they have supplanted. 1t Is shoulders
