The Whiskers Peril. (Schenectady Union.) There are rumors that whiskers are “coming back.” The war in Europe seems destined to have the same effect on mankind over there that the Civil war is conducive to whiskers. The inconvenier of shaving, even in this age of safely razors, puts a premium beards. Then, too, a beard sives a man a war-like appearance. If vou doubt it, look at the pictures of ome of the Russian troops, and doubt 1o more. If this style becomes obligatory we may well engage In fasting and through any old family album in existonce is enough to give one bypochondria.

And, worst of trained his long, sweeping moustache to grow on and on till he could pull it back to his ears. There is no question but that a Leard on a man whose chin flowed into his Adam's Apple without any apparent dividing line was a help. It is true that there are some men So homely that whiskers that cover up facial horror so that tears bow-legs with ore without stopping all the clocks in the establishment may be looked upon as a blessing. But these are the exceptions that prove the rule. We live in a comparatively hairless age. For this let us be thankful. If a n’'s head is bald, it's an act of Irovidence. If he grows whiskers, Frovidence ought to get busy. War's Waste- (Waterbury Republican.) British in about tihe trenches careless wasteful, both of ammunition and “bully beef."” soldie and are and as “corned beef” is known there. This statement has the authority of John Hodge, M. P., who recently returned from a visit to the troops in France. He was informed, he said, that thou- sands of tins of beef and millions of rifle cartridges were lying about the trenches and trampled into the mud Wastage, Mr. Hodge found, some cases checked by the officers in charge. The trouble is the men get an excessive amount of meat—twelve ounce n their daily ration. No ac- count is taken of es or of the sick- So the tins lie around the trench- es fall into the bottom and get stept on. Ultimately they are buried in the trench mud. This is also the fate of the cartridges left behind by the men when relieved, In some cases the offi- cer of the relieving party would ascer- tain now many fired so as to keep a check on the amount lost. But these officers, according to Mr, Hodge, are in a minority-: The same complaints as to wastage have been made against the troops in the English training camps. Here the blame is laid to overabundant rations and the wastefulness of cooks who throw avay whole ioaves of fresh bread and lcft-over beef and vege- tables. War is an cpidemic of waste, course, but with the rising prices of fcod and raiment at home and the rising prices of munitions, it is only to be expected that the members of par- liament who are at all keen about the welfare of the poor of Great Britain will kick up some fuss about wastage. Tt is not at all improbable that there are thousands of pounds of canned beef being shipped to the allies from merican packing houses and at the me time there is a constant demand made on Americans to send food and clothing and money to buy more food and clothing for starving victims of the war in Europe. Here is double waste and Americans, non-combatants and neu'ral, are bearing the burden There is a phase of the war that few of the belligerents will get until years after the conflict has ceased, if ever, et it is an illustration of what ghtful waste war entails the whole world over. i of RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES., 225,000,000 Holiday Stickers Already Distributed in United States Few people have any conception of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas Seal campaign. Here are a few figures that will show what a pigantic movement this is. Already 225,000,600 Is have been printed and practically that entire number aistributed to agents in every state and territory of the Union from Alaska in the North to the Canal Zone in the South and from Porty Rico in the E: to Hawaii in the West, Advertising circulars, posters, ards, etc., to the number af several million have also been distributed. Not less than 1,000,000 T nal let- ters asking people to buy seals have been sent out. It is es d that the army of workers, all of whom are volunteers, engaged in selling the seals numbers well over 500,000, The advertising and pub- iicity donated to the campaign amounts to several hundred thousand dollars, Every eoffort is being put forth to sell 75,000,000 seals, or less than one for cvery man, woman and child in the United States. This will mean $750,000 for the anti-tuber- culosis campaign in the United States and particularly all of the 1,200 anti- tuberclosis associations of the coun- try derive their support from Red Cross Seals, Ll was in | Men of Macedonia Wear Abbreviated 3a_llgt Skirts Washington, D.

It continues: { “To begin with, the traveler In { Macedonia forms the impression that he is come to a land of bewhiskered women; for most of the men of Mace- donia wear skirt Some wear a sort of ballet skirts, like the southern | Albanian and some, long Mother Hub- | bnrd skirts, like the Saloniki Jew. The i skirts worn by the Jewish men are | wonderful things in brilliant colors, and of a kind of bed-curtain material. While a great many Macedonian men | have cast aside their skirts, enough | of them have clung to the time-hon- ored fashion to make the scene a con- | fusing one to the Westener his i sit. The Macedonian, also, has a cus- tom all his own for observing the ceremony of baptism. Many of his priests use oil instead of water in this office on account of the general | Macedonian prejudice against water for any other use than as a beverage. It is said that the people of Macedonia bathe as often as they marry, which is only once or twice in a life time. Bathing is thought by many of the superstitious mountaineers to be dan- gerous to health. “The peasants of this country, on the other hand, are very fond of ornamentation. Their wives and daughters work long hours weaving and embroidering for the town mar- kets, and with their savings they buy brass belt-buckles and bracelets. The bracelets often weigh more than a pound, and the belt buckles, that is the more coveted sort, are great things ten inches square and more. “There is an amusing custom ob- served in some of the smaller thea- ters of the Macedonian cities, which enables the theater-goer to pay ac- cording as he is entertained. Be- tween the acts, the actors and actress- es. make their way about the house and take a collection. The leader of the band comes first; then comes the leading lady and so on down the list ! until the least of the entertainers has “hml his er chance at the sts | pocketbooks. The actor re large- ly Armenians; the plays are mostly comedies, with the tragedy touch of on or {is his invariable excuse when blame the interludes of collection. Despite the voluminous criticisms which have been written about the backwardness of Macedonia, the Macedonian might boast of having among the few ho- tels in the world that go in for teach- ing their patrons manners. There is ch a hotel in Saloniki. In a con- sPicuous place, on the walls of its bed rooms, the following rules of con- duct are displayed to guide the trav- eler aright. “ ‘L. Messieurs the voyagers who descend upon the hotel are requested to hand over to the management any , money or articles of value they may | hav 2. Those who have no bag- gage must pay every day, whereas those who have may only do so once a week. 3. Political discussion and | playing musical instruments are for- bidden, also noisy conversations. 4. 1t is permitted neither to play at cards or at any other games of hazard. 5. Children of families and their servants should not walk about the rooms. 6. It is prohibited to present oneself outside one's room in a dressing gown or other negligent costume. 7. Coffee, tea, and other culinary preparations may not be prepared in the room, or procured from the outside, as the hotel fur- nishes everything one wants. 8. Voy- agers who take their repast descend to the dining room, with the excep- tion of invalids, who may do so in thelr rooms. 9. A double-bedded room pays double for itself, save the case where the voyagers declares that one bed may be let to another per- son. 10. It is, however, forbidden to sleep on the floor.’ “The Macedonian criticises much ana often unjustly, has become very sensitive to fault-finding. He has developed one all-inclusive excuse for his sins and failings, and that ca on pr sh. $7 is placed upon him that he has been under Turkish rule for so many, many vears. He hastens to assure the dis- gruntled stranger of this fact often before criticism can find verbal ex- pression. “He trusses up his pigs for market, binding their legs so tightly together that the thongs bite deep into their flesh, causing the animal agony while on the way to market and during the wait for purchaser. To the European, who remonstrates at this unnecessary cruelty, the Macedonian peasant, gaz ing with sad tenderness at the suffer- ing pig answers: ‘but we have been <o long under the Turks.. Another thing that nearly touches the trave- | ler in Macedonia, is the extortionate prices he must pay in a land where 1 is naturally cheap. The Jew, the Greek, and the Wlach unmercifully | . {heir bills, lodging and board rzed at many times their nor- mal sales, and scencry, Balkan smells, and bed-bugs also figure in the total.” GETTING EV} A Tonsorial Incident That is Counted Unusual in Breathitt County, Ky. WITH A BARBER. (Louisville Courier Journal.) Bob Wallace, a barber, whose place of business is in Jackson, is re- covering from the temporarily debil- fating cffect of 22 wounds made hy bullets from a .38 caliber revolver of the type known as “special.” Some of the bullets perforated the barber's midriff, and others were distributed over other parts of the target. Both in the matter of the number of wounds inflicted and the tenacity with /hich the barber held on to life after a double handful of lead had passed through him from the muzzle of a long barreled pistol, the inci- dent is rated unusual in Breathitt | County. The “forty-five” always has heen favored as a weapon of revense because the shock of a large caliber bullet more certainly knocks a man down. But it has been believed gen- erally that in ultimate deadliness the “thirty-cight” almost ec iled the “forty-five.” As a compromise he. tween an innocuous pocket pis such as a vain youth in a city might show to his best girl to prove himself o bold fellow, and a really useful weapon, the “thirty-cight special” has been looked upon favorably perienced murderers. The case of Bom Wallace long remembered in Jackson. tablishes the fact that hands of a patient man will- ing to reload scveral times, and when used upon w man who for onc reason or another does not reply in Lind and allows himself to be hot as long as the supply of ammunition holds out, a “thirty-cight special’ is not always deadly.

Rut aside from the clinical aspects of the case, and its suggestiveness to | young men about to purchase their | first weapons of offense and defense, | the experience of Bob Wallace holds a hint for graduates of colleges for | barbers who are casting about to find | lucrative practice. It will be unwise | to “locate” in Jackson. In many parts { of the world the barbers’ persistency | in the matter of offering to elaborate the service is not hazardous.
