opened her eyes languidly upon the room
where for weeks she had moaned and
tossed in pain and muttered in delirium.
She looked moment at the pleasant faced,

An old and cheerful citizen asks me
to publish his ideas of home. and do
it gladly, both because he is good
old citizen and because he has right
ideas. "A home" he says, lis not a
home ut all unless it is pleasant
place to live in. There are some
elegant palaces that are not entitled
TO the name of home; they are only
residences, shelters. places for eating
and lodging. A real home is some
thing better than that--it is place
where center the hearts best affe ctions
and the mind best thoughts. and
which is preferable on every account
to any other place in the world.
Home must have in it harmony and
love and attraetiveness; those living
there must by both word and
act. endeavor to make all its in
mates comfortable and happy Men
and women and children are often
driven from their home shelter and
become miserable and disgrace them

the home is not what it should be--a

The Bath House. of Parts.

The manner Of bathing is considered a
luxury, and the public bath houses are
the most used by people in moderate cir
cumstances. These bath houses are to be
found on every other block, and there are
first, second and third class ones, so there
is no excuse for uncleanliness in Paris.
They are always very nicely kept, and
the service is excellent. \ bower of
palms and flowers greets you as you
enter, and the whole appearance of the
place is inviting. In the first class estab-
iishments the waiting rooms and bath
rooms are very handsome. You take
your bath ticket at the door for plain
or bran bath with towels; peignoir is
always extra, and SO is the lining of the
tubs with a sheet. You can purchase
soape, combs and brushes, perfumery,
and all toilet articles at couEter in the
waiting room. You are allowed a half
hour in your bath room, aud bell rings
in your room to warn you it is time to
vacate when the regulation hour is
reached. Of late years all apartment
houses are being built with bath rooms,
and no doubt the public bath houses will
in time be entirely given over to the
poorer classes. Cor. The Argonaut.

Criminal biology is new development
of science, but one of eminent value.
The New York Academy of Antlropology
sends out the following questions: /.
What categories of criminals may we
distinguish? And what are the funda-
mental characteristics, physical and
psychical, which they display Q. Is
there general bio-pathological constitu-
ton which predisposes its subject to the
commission of crime? How does it orig
mate, and what form does it assume?
8. What is the proper classification of
human actions, based on the affections
which give rise to thom? What effect
does the education of the moral nature
have upon the passions, and indirectly
upon crime? 4. Does the number of
suicides stand in inverse ratio to the
number of homicides? 5. Epilepss and
moral insanity in prisons and insane
asylums. 6. Malingering among the in
sane. T. The utility of museuiA of
criminal anthropology. s. The Influence
Of atmospheric and economic conditions
on crime in America. These questions
are followed by others under the title of
criminal sociology. 1--WE cannot too
highly value the method of study of
crime which begins with the study of the
criminal himself. Globe Democrat.
