From the Boston Traveller July %.
The rapidly increasing facilities for the apart
ment hotel system OF living in Boston is q fact
that challenges the attention of the social econ.
omist. Within a radius Of one mile from the
museum of fine arts there are 81 apartment
hotels, and this location is hardly exceptional.
On the horse car route to Dorchester the m ultj-
tude of these hotels in process OF construction
impress the passer by, and in the west end
several new ones are in various stages of COM
pletion. A large proportion of the new ones
are TO combine family suites, which will be
let by the year, and limited number of rooms
to be let to transient guests. Those with house
keeping facilities are growing less, and few of
the hotels now being built permit this
method OF living. The cafe is intended to ac-
cominodate the entire house, meals being sent
to the suites, Or partaken OF in the public din
ing room. as desired. The growing popularity
of this system OF living marks the decadence
of what we have usually considered domestic
life. l. must now take on new significance We
must recognize that housekeeping is not neces.
sarily synonymous with housekeeping. The
new departure offering greater leisure and op-
portunilies for women must result, eventually
in u higher state OF social life.

The Holloway college is a magnificent institu-

and teaching, each with separate bed room
and sitting room, besides a conversation room
for every six, and reieetory, library, lecture
rooms and picture gallery. No male is to be
allowed on the premises. The service In the
chapel is to be "Chrstian," but not associated
with any church or sect. There is an altar
under Il canopy OF carved oak, an organ and
stalled seats. The site is noble-high airy and
spaclous--with extensive strawberries and ter
race gardens. The question remains, however

PLEA FOR WOODEN WEAR IN SUMNER.

| PLEA FOR woOLEN WEAR IN SUMNER
! From the Sanitary Engineer.
BY this time our readers, or, at least those of
them who are in the large cities, are probably
using the thinnest undertaking they can find

mer wear some have no doubt taken cold, ag-
gravated their rheumatism somewhat or had
some other disagreeable little experience but

best in summer as well as in winter. that it is
! upon the whole more comfortable and health
ful than linen or cotton stuffs, will be received
with doubt by many and by some with posi-
| tive denial, yet it is the truth as regards the
| great majority ofpeople.
There are, it is true. a few persons who cannot
! wear wooden next the skin either winter or
summer without the production Of great irrita-
tremely small and the majority of those who
think that they belong to this class can in
reality wear wooden underclothing with ease
! slight stimulation of the surface of the skin
which is produced by the wooden fibre is desir-
able and agreeable unless it produces irritation
| In unusually sensitive persons.
| The objection often made to the use of wooden
| underclothlng in summer on the ground that
lit is too heavy" simply means that the director
| has used too heavy garments, for as a matter of
fact, properly made wooden undergarments for
summer are ligher than those made from other

In winter nor in summer is silk to be preferred
| to wool.
The great value of wooden underwear is that
| 1t prevents or lessons the bad effects which re-
suit from the rapid changes OF heat which occur
! In our climate, both from variations In the tenn
perature and movements OF the air, and from
differences in the conditions OF the body as re-

| tor and does not permit of the rapid evapora-
ZION OF perSp1ratlOn as soon as il is formed: but
after little time the difference in this respect
| will be small, and when the exertion ceases the
man with the WOODEN underclothing will be
lnuch less likely to catch cold and experience
! discomfort.
The only valid objection to be urged against
wearing WOODEN next the skin in warm weather
quently as is desirable because it does not show
dirt as quickly as linen.

The Story OF cnlumI,ns.

The London Standard tells a story which
many bright little Americans will appreciate.
The following story comes from q school in
the mid!ands: The master told the boys of the
third class TO write short essay on Columbus
The following was sent up by an ambitious es-
sayist Columbus was man who could make
an egg stand on end without breaking it. The
King Of Spain said to Columbus: Can you dis
cover American Yes said Columbus, if you
will give me ship So he had ship and
sailed over the sea in the direction where he
thought America ought TO be found. The sail
ors quareled and said they believed there was
10 such place. But after many days the pilot
came to him and said Columbus, / see land
Then that is America said Columbus. When
the ship got near, the land was full of black
men Columbus said: Is this America p
Yes, il is,' said they. Then he said: Il sup
pose you are the niggers?' Yes they said,
we are The chief said: l suppose you are
Columbus You are right said he. Then
the chief turned to his men and said: There
is no help for it; we are discovered at last"
