a Necessity 90 the Aneients, 90 Most Oi
Our People AN rnSeeesslble Luxury.
From HaEper's Bdzar.
1t Is only people like our own, that
claim the best of civilization, to whom
the public bath Is almost thing I'M
known. We have here and there a
swimming school. which is mere pri-
waite exercise and amounts to but little
at the most; and we have in the hot
summer few enclosures at the head or
a wharton on the side Of a bridge, which
one needs the bath bitterly before enter
ing. Acknowledging this, we claim
that we have instead private baths in
private houses for those that can afford
to pay the Rent Of such houses.
But so had the ancients private
baths besides their public ones, and
of beauty far exceeding the visions Of
our most extravagant dreams, with
pipes of silver and floors Of precious
stones. When even the rude Russian
in his island village, the Lapp. the Mex
lean, the japanese, has a public bath,
although of but mean description, IL
seems incredible that We, who boast
ourselves so near the top of possibility
o1AONAN -
on par with, If not actually beneath,
such rs they. Nne may say with truth,
perhaps, that emperOrS built the vast
and superb affairs to divert public atten-
ton from the loss of liberty, that they
ran into fearful abuses where one ruler
INDUCED himself in eight or ten baths
a day, and where another all but dwelt

full scenes. But il may be saidt all the
latter, as we are well aware, that the
abuse Of the thing is no argument
against its use; it is to be hoped that
our knowledge and religion would be OF
better proof than what answered for
those things with those ancients who so
degraded themselves, and for the former,
if the enjoyment of the baths really
could divert the Romans from the
thought of liberty, If an emperor could
win devotion by building them, then it
was because the people priced them aud
held them even abeve the worth of lib
erty. Heaven forbid that our people
should ever follow such example so far!
But one cannot help seeing that If we,
as a people, showed but the first
thrill of such q desire for these

any desire for them at alive
should have them. For it Is we who are
the emperors and rulers here. 1t is our
own voices that govern, and If we want
public baths, and when We went them,
they will rise like an eXbaltation. That
it is not advisable, that il Is not desir-
able, to have them made vehicles of
mere luxurious sensation and objects of
magnificenceis evident. But if cleanli-
ness is next to gOdliness, then it Is
shame that the masses Of our pOpula-
ton are kept so remote from godliness,
and our unwashed milliOns-eyen our
board shantees on wharves and bridges
being miserably insufficient and our
Turkish and Russian cOntrivances be-
ing too costly for any but the rich or the
reckless cannot obtain at any price
what the Roman citizen, at a time when
money was worth far more than now,
obtained for the eighth of a penny.

pisobeying Orders.

The following story Is told Of General
Harvey when he was In demand ut

ly dipntied officer, and ifthere was one
thing he detested more than another 1t
was lndignified haste. One evening;
lust ache was about to hold dress parade,
he pfrceived that he had forgotten his
handkerchief, and as the weather was
very hot, he said to his orderly: ITO
to my quarters, quick, ana bring my
handkerchief" The orderly touched
bis cap and started for the quarters,
several hundred yards distant. After
he had proceeded short distance, re-
memberIng that there was no time TO

continued Harvey to another soldier,
Ego after that man and tell him say
to walk" The second soldier started
after the first, but as the first one kept
on running, the second one saw his
only chance to delivery the message
was to hurry up, 80 he, too, broke into
a run. To say that Harvey swore is
but a m lid expression. "Here, sergeant,
90 after that man and tell him II he
don't stop running Ill hang him up by

in brisk walk, but as his predecessor
had good start he, too, began to run

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Mayor POWderIy's Statement of the
Aims OF the Organization.

Aims OIL the organization
Ny,,or PJ,rcIerly ia North imsricGR RerielC.
Men who found the trade union too
narrow and contracted to suit their
views find all they sought for the
knights of Labor, an organization
founded in 1869, but which was kept
profoundly secret until the beginning Of
the present year. One reason Tor Keep,
ing il so closely guarded was to shield
its members from being discharged, as
they were so often in the old trade nm
ion.
The seed, if not properly protected, Is
easily blown away or destroyed by the
elements, but if sufficient care Is taken
to cover it in planting it will take root
and grow. The rains wind and sun
shiae, elements that would have de-
stroyed it lift were left exposed, that
contribute to give it life and strength.
So it was with the Knights OF Labor.
Had that body been organized openly
public opinion and the opposition It
would meet with from other labor So
cieties would have prevented its growth.
But it was properly covered, 1t took root
and grew all over the United states,
and to-day it assists in molding public
opinion itself, for it controls several OF
our leading journals and need no longer
fear opposition. 1t teaches its members
to think for themselves and that a full
understanding may be arrived as De-
tween employer and emplOye. The
workman and the manufacturer may
meet in the assembly and exchange
ideas. Business men meet with work
ingmen within its folds, where they dis
cuss their mutual relations. The or
ganizatiOn has adopted the motto;
"That is the most perfect government
in which an injury to one is the concern
of ALL" Members of isolated trade un-
ions are becoming members of the
knights of Labor, men all creeds, all
natiOnalitieS, all occupations Except
lawyers, bankers, stock gamblers and
idlersl are admitted. The idea Is to
bring within the folds OF the organlza-
ton every department Of productive,
industrial and moral worth, not wealth,
the true standard Of individual and ma
tiOnal greatness.

The "fish story" about the red-Rosed
hay-maker, who caught fine trout for

used 70 "wear the honors" Ia the news

L NeW York Sun.
A very pretty novelty in jewelry,
says Lucy Hooper in her Paris Letter
to the American Queen, has made its
appearance within these last few week.
It consists of spray ofleaves in dia-
monds, the foliage of some Towering
plant, such as rose, lily Ofthe valley,
a violet, and etc. In the center OF the
spray small gold socket Is arranged to
bold real or an artificial flower Of the
same plant as are the diamond lea YES.
The effect is exceedingly pretty, though
some skill is needed to set to the bios
som Alright amid its glittering foliage.
The lilly of the valley lends itself adj
mirably to this combination, the long,
narrow leaf in diamonds forming q
charming background for delicate
white bellies of the flower A spray of
diamond rose-leaves surrounding q
splendid crimson natural rose Is also
very handsome.

Mrs. Jesse James is doing some re-
markable things. She has sent to a
Philadelphia gentleman, Mr.. Charles

her husband two years ago in Kentucky.
Mr.. Dovey did not know James at the

rogue's gallery afterward as that of the
gentleman who led the party who asked
him for the time o. day on that occa-

Some years ago Lord Lonsdale's
younger brother INDUCED in extraor-
binary pranks. Not satisfied with con-
sorting with boxers and dog-fghters,
he went on a tour as ''nigger minstrel"
and finally married a young lady of the
music hall persuasion. AS the present
Lord Lonsdale has no issue, this lady
might some day have been a countess,
a prospect at which well-bred England
shuddered. But it is now represented
that she was already married when she
married "Charlie'' Lowther, that she
is therefore a bigamist, and that the
heir to the coronet will be set free.
There are rejoicings accordingly.
