bathing.

AS the season of the year is ap-
preaching when the custom of bath
ing is most popular, we deem 1t advi-
sable to throw cut few hints on the
subject. Though it should be prac-
tised the year round, yet it has its
periodical fits, like marbles among
boys. hoops among girls, and house
hunting among the heads of families.
Bathing, like eating and drinking,
is an old, old custom. 1t is not un-
unlikely that Adam and Dive tried its
virtue before they went out of the
garden. At any rate, when they
were expelled they both took bath
in tears. Sorrow almost invaria-
riably resorts to that method of COM
fort.

erable institution in his early day.

Wood CarpetinS.

The Scientific american describes
the new wood carpeting, which is
coming into extensive use, as follows:
The fabric is made of Stats of some
ornamental shape, glued or cemented
upon cloth backing. The Stats or
strips of wood are different eolors,
and are arranged to produce all the
effect of tessellated floors, mosaic
work, etc, and. being about a quar-
ter of an inch in thickness, they will
wear many years. They are finished
in oil, and fit together so tightly that
the joints are as perfect as inlaid
work. The surface thus produced
can therefore be scrubbed, washed,
and oiled when needed, precisely like
other floors made of ornamental
woods, which floors they resemble in
all respect when laid"

The death Of Senator Sumner leads
the Albany Journal to indulge inter
estingIy in political retrospect: The
year Of the gres compromise meas
ures,' says the Journal, seemed the
turning point at the new era. Hale
had been chosen to the Senate in IS47
the first Of the noble company.
Seward and Chase were elected in
the same month in 1916. This small
band, stoutly resisting the compro-
mise with a great moral power in
cOmparably disproportioned to its
meagre numerical strength, was soon
after reinforced BY Sumner. In that
group each member counted legion.
Henry Wilson followed three or four
years later. William Pitt Fessenden
was borne in on the great tide Of
moral feeling which the Kansas
Nebraska outrage excited. Wade
was sent by Ohio to support Chase.
Collamer, from ! Nerm0nt, deserved to
rank among the earnest anti-slaverv
members, and his colleague, Foot.
though less Of force, concurred with
him. Lyman Trumbull came from
the west, and by IS5S, with the ac-
cession Of Hannibal Hamlin. Preston
King and a few others, the small
body had grown to a formidable par
ty-still in the minority, indeed, on
the floor, but with the majority of
the nation behind them.
Ofthat group the members have been
rapidly falling. IL IS but a few
months since Seward died. Chase
followed soon after. Now we are
mourning Sumner; and Wade and
Wilson are almost the only survivors
of that memorable company. In the
