How They Battle i'm France.

In all French houses the bathrooms
are unknown. Such luxury can only
be obtained at a bathing establishment.
An ordinary warm bath costs from 80
cents to 81, according to whether you
furnish towels, soap, etc, or not. In
first-class localities these places are
faultlessly clean, the attendance per-
feet, and the appointments all that
could be desired. There are no knobs
on the doors. Once in the bathroom
the attendant turns the key, and there
you are. A bell-cord is conveniently
placed within reach of the tub, and an
attendant always answers most prompt
" any call When you are ready, hay
ing previously ordered it, you have but
to ring and hot linen wrapper is
brought, and enveloping yourself there
In you can stretch out on the lounge
and dry off at your leisure.
One arrangement which ] think
might be advantageously introduced in
to our country is the luxury of being
able to have bath brought to your own
room at home. You leave the order at
one of these establishments, and at the
appointed hour a man appears with
large, bright, copper tub, and, asking
the temperature you wish-35 to 40 de-
grees centigrade is comfortable
war1nth-throws in a thermometer and
proceeds to fill with alternate pailsful
of hot and cold water till the tub is
full. His wagon is only large copper
receptacle with places for hot and cold
water. At the hour you designate he
returns and takes it away. For all this
you pay from 80 to 60 nts,-Paris

A high jump of six feet two inches is
not such an everyday performance that
one should pass it by unnoticed when it
is made. At the last Irish Athletic

within three-quarters of an inch of the
record of his own making. Mr.. J.
Brooks, the old Oxonian, it may be re-

STATE CONVENTIONS.

The Democrats of Connecticut assembled
in State Convention at Hartford and
nominated the following ticket: Gov
ernor, Thomas NJ. Waller; Lieuten-
ant Governor, George G. Sumner; Secretary
of State, S Ward Northrop; Treasurer, AL
fred R. Goodrich; Comptroller, Thomas P.
Sanford The platform approves the Presi-
dents veto of the River and Harbor bill, and
treats the prohibition question as follows:
eve fully recognize the evils arts
ing from the abuse Of in
toxicating liquors. We believe those
evils may be most effectually checked by
the force of enlightened public opinion
They may be partially restrained by wise
legislation, but such legislation should not
be so oppressive or so impracticable in it's
provisions as to trench on the personal
rights and liberties of the citizens, and ought
not to be made partisan question. Legs

erence to a subject where all honest men
seek a common object can most safely be
left to individual Conscience free from blum
ders of party prejudice We believe the
incorporation of police regulation relative
to the sale of Intoxicating liquors into the
State constitution to be opposed to the
plainest principles of sound government"
The New York State Temperance Conven-
tion met at Syracuse to agree upon the basis
of the Prohibition amendment to the State
constitution.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we recognize the hand of Al
mighty God in the movement that has already
accomplished so much for the suppression of the
liquor traffic in other States, and that is kindling
so great an enthusiasm among the friends of
temperance in our State.
RPSOlCed, That we call for the submission to
the people of this State of an amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic bever ges.
RESOLVED, That we do not identify ourselves
with any partisan movement, but as a ccnven-
ton representing the temperance societies and
Christian churches of the State of New York,
we do seek such legislation as shall free cur
noble State from the power of rum, which we
recognize as an enemy of all good and we do
hereby call on all good citizens, irrespective of
party or creed to aid in this object
ReSOlred, That we pledge ourselves to vote
for no candidate for tie Legislature who will not
publicly pledge himself in favor Of submitting
such amendment to a vote of the people.
