The next stage in the bath was dive
IN the plunge. We descended the steps
gingerly. The water was so intensely
cold that when the feet touched it an
electric shock ran through the body.
Another gasp, another Shiver. we set
our teeth hard, and in we went! The
first shock over, the water was simply
delightful. 1t reached very nearly to our
ears as we stood upright; then we dived,
plunged, SWAN, if we could; SplaShed,
if we couldn't, and came out of the
other end warm and rosy. This we re-
peated several times. Then came the
needle bath in separate room, the
walls lined with silver and perforated
everywhere with minute holes. The
water was turned on, and above, below
and at the sides the water rushed out
in sharp, singing sprays with great
force and envel0ped the bather in a
thousand needle-like points. Two min
utes of this was enough, for it left one
tingling, breathleSs and very much
alive.
After that we were dried and wrapped
up in heated sheets and then went to
our separate rooms. As the hair never
dries as quickly as one might wish, we
determined 10 spend ten minutes in the
hot-air room attached TO the Turkish
baths, which is generally situated on
the floor above.
Wrapped in our sheets, which swept
the floor behind us in a stately train
which BabylOnian queen might not
have despised, we swept up the carpet
ed stairs and into the hOt-air room. 1t
was furnished like an ordinary sitting
room, ard on low chairs here and there
five or six women sat, wrapped in white,
looking like so many mummies.

Drop the Cigarette.

"Medicus" writes to the London Lam
Get from MIddieseX hospital: Having
found i'll the course of my private prac-
tice and that of the hospital, marked
increase in cases of malignant throat
diseases, |, together with some of my
colleagues, have made some careful re-
searches into the cause of this, and find
ing that males were almost exclusively
affected, led us on the track that smOk
ing was Ill great many instances the
primary cause. l am not by any
means one of those who con-
slider the pipe, cigar, or the ordi-
nary cigarette injurious, but am per-
suaded that the cigarette imported from
Egypt or Turkey is mixed, presumably
to give it peculiar taste or flavor, with
some insidiOus poison. l am led to this
conclusion by careful analysis of both
the home manufacture and that of the
foreign. In the latter a large proper
ton of opium and an unclaSSified aka
loid was manifest, which was totally
absent in the former, and it will he OBJ
vious that an irritant poisson constantly
brought into contact with the region
of, perhaps. the most sensitive part of
the human orga iZation is calculated to
bring about trouble" w

Negro Martial ArdOr.

Charles Dudley Warner In Harper's
There are cynicS who think it strange
that men are willing to dress up in fan
tastic uniform and regalia and march
about in sun and rain to make holiday
for their cOuntrymen, but the cynics
are ungrateful, and fail to credit hui
man nature with its trait of Self-sacri-
flee, and they do not at all comprehend
our civilization. 1t was doubted at one
time whether the freedman and the COL
Ored man generally in the republic were
capable of the higher civilization.
This doubt has all been re-
moved. No other race takes more
kindly to martial and civic dis
play than it. No one has a greater
passion for societies and uniforms and
regaliaS and banners, and the pomp of
marchings and professions and peace
full war. The negro naturally inclines
to the picturesque, to the flamboyant, to
vivid cOlOrs and the trappings Of Office
that give man distinction. He de-
lights in the drum and trumpet, and so
willing is he to add to what is spectacu-
lar and pleasing in life that he would
spend half his time in parading. His
capacity for holiday is practically I'M
limited. He has not yet the means to
indulge his taste, and perhaps his taste
is not yet equal to his means, but there
is no question of his adaptability to the
sort of display which is so pleasing to
the greater part of the human race, and
which contributes so much to the
brightness and cheerfulnesS of this
world. We cannot all have decorations,
and cannot all wear uniforms, or even
regalia, and some of US have little time for
going about in military or civic process
siOns, but we all like to have our streets
put on a holiday appearance; and we
cannot express in words our gratitude
to those who so cheerfully spend their
time and money in glittering apparel
and in parades for our entertainment.

Matrimonial Catechism.

Detroit Free Press.
He was very practical, and in order
to b ave everything fair and square be-
forehand he said:
"You know, darling, that promised
my mother that my wife should be a
good honsekeeper and domestic
woman. Can you cOok?"
Il can," she said, swallowing a great
big lump In her throat.
"Can you make good bread? That is
the fundamental principle of all house
keeping"
Yes; l went into bakery and
learned how to make all kinds of bread
She added under her breath, "maybe."
land can you do your own dress
making? L am comparatively poor
man, love, and dressmakers' bills would
soon bankrupt me-"
YES" she said, frankly,I can make
everything l wear, especially pattern
bonnetS."
You are jewel" he cried with en-
thuSiaSm: 'cOme to my arms"
''Wait minute-there's no hurry"
she said, cooly. "Can you saw wood
aud carry in coal?"
why. my love, I should hire that
work DONE"
"Can you make your coats, vests,
trousers and other wearing apparel?"
But that isn't to the purpose"
''Can you build house, dig bitches,
weave carpets, and"
Il am not professional"
Neither am |. 1t has taken the most
of my life to acquire the education and
accomplishments that attached you to
me. But as soon as have learned all
the professions you speak of will send
you my card. Au revOlr," and she
swept away.
And the diSconsolate young man went
to the nearest drug store and bought
twO-fOr-a-quarter cigar. with which he
speedily solaced himself.

FIGHTING EDITOR.
Parties Desiring Corrections Will Please
APPLY RIGHT HEEEi

One afternoon the soft scratching of
the repOrtorIal pencil and NANCY Office
dog was interrupted by the abrupt ap-
pearance of fiery little red-headed man
with blood in his eye, who rushed to-
ward the nearest deSk-the city editors
kicking the dog out of the way, and
at the same time pulling a yesterdays
paper out of his pocket. They always
come in that way and pull a paper on
you; so the city editor, without giving
the man time to speak, observed with a
balmy smile:
''If you would like to have some arti-
Gle corrected, sir, please step to that
desk over yOnder, pointing to where
Jim Johnston was sitting in his favOritR
lazy attitude, huddled down in chair,
with his feet upon the desk.
Boiling with rage, the little man
danced over to Jim'S desk, slapped his
hat down on it, pointed to an article
John Jones running Off with somebody
elSe'S wife and committing few other
trifiing peccadillos, and rOared into
Jim'S ear: ~
That is lie! - lie! ! am that
John Jones, and never did anything of
the sort all my life. Where's the man
that wrote that about me? | just want
to see that man. I'll thrash him within
an inch of his life" And the little man
danced around like drop of water on
hot stove.
Without shifting his easy position,
jim drawled out slowly: "HOw-so-
let's see about this now. Is this the ar
ticle you mean?" While speaking he
had lazily lifted his hand behind his
head and gathered in the long poignard,
with which he carelessly traced the
words down the column as he proceeded.
'.Ah-yes-JOhn Jones-I see. l be-
lieve wrote that article myself. Must
be some mistake. What did l under
stand you to say about it?'
AS that Misunderstanding weapon
came within that fiery little mans range
of vision he gave start. His fascinated
gaze travelled up its length to the heavy
fist that graSped it, then took in the big,
long legs, the great solid frame, the
cool determined countenance, and,
finally, the frOwning array of death
dealing weapons on the wall above. He
shivered as he looked hastily from one
to another, and stealthily reached out
toward his hat, which he had in his
hand by the time Jim had drawled out
his last question.
'Oh, nOthing-nOthingw he stam-
mered in a hoarse, broken whisper.
Its all right. OF course there's mis-
take somewhere; I'll come again and
explain all about it: Pm in hurry
now" And the quaking little red
headed man. without reply OF once
looking behind him, tip-toed out as rap
idly as he had rushed in, closed the
door carefully and noiselessly, and then
was heard leaping down the stairs three
at time.
He never came back.

The "Chippy" Young Drummer.


Chicago Drummer. in Globe-Democrat.
To an old timer and the road nothing
is so amusing as the 'chippy" drum
mer. We can always tell him at sight.
He may look as fly as thoroughbred,
but his baggage gives him away. He
comes on his first trip with trunk full
of clothing, and when he gets on car
he is loaded down worse than an old
maid who is going sixty miles. He is
sure to have two valiseS and q sachel
with strap hanging from his shoulder.
A hat box, two canes Zone for every day
wear and the other for Sunday,
small silk umbrella. three railway
guides, half dozen Rand & McNally
state maps, silk travelling cap, new
novel, pair of slippers, a rubber coat,
mohair buster, flask and pipe, are
a few of the things which he surrounds
himself with. We know him because
rough or crooked, er the time is slow.
He notifies the conductor of the Pull
man before he leaves the depot of his
intention to report him. He discOurses
for an hour upon the eXtortion of the
baggage master.
When he gets off at a station he re-
fuses to pay so cents to the omnibus
man and walks to the hotel. and SwearS
later when required to pay drayman 70
cents for hauling his baggage from the
depot. He asks for the best room in the
hotel, and does not get it. Meet that
same fellow four years later, and he
has dropped all of his valises except
one small Che, and he no longer travels
with canes, umbrellas. slippers, rail-
way guides, maps, rubber coat and
all that. One side of his valise will
contain his samples, and ali the clothing
he will need for two months trip is on
the other side. He carries two suits of
underclothing, two white shirts and a
change of socks. When the train is
side-tracked while the road is being
cleared of a freight wreck, he takes a
nap. When he goes into hotel the
clerk recognizes him as one of the boys
and gives him the best the house affords,
and then he takes hand in having fun
with ''chippies" himself.

How She Mounts a Bicycle.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
You may wonder how lady can
mount a bicycle gracefully, but it's
quite easy. You know a man puts his
left foot OH the pedal or step and throws
his right leg over the rear of the sad
die. A moments reflection will
convince you that this would never
do for lady wearing skirts. Bicycle
inventors racked their brains for long
time to invent woman's bicycle, and
the appearance of the low machine with
chain gearing and wheels of equal size
solved the problem. All that remained
to be done was to get the ''backbone"be-
tween the handles and the seat out of the
way so the lady could step Oh the pedal
and throw her right leg around in front
of the saddle instead of behind. This was
easily done, and the fate of the ladies'
tricycle. was sealed. l see almost every
day a lady of at least fOrty-five years,
who only few months ago took her
first lesson, and she now cuts graceful
caperS on her machine and skins about
like swallow.

AT THE POINT OF A DAGGER.
An Editor Who Corrected Errors

An Editor Who Corrected Errors
With Bowie Knives and Pistols.
Pittsburg Dispatch. e
There once existed in one of the large
cities of the land newspaper whose
proprietor was so firm believer in ag-
gressiye sensational journalism that he,
offered new hat as prize for any re-
porter that succeeded in getting himself
kicked bodily out of doors while in qnest
of news. Half the staff sported new
plugs within three days after the offer.
ut was a natural Outgrowth of this
spirit that led to the establishment OF
the arsenal in the reporters room; If
they skirmiShed with the enemy so
actively, they must be ready to defend
their citadel against attack. The arsenal
was evolved. not created. First, one of
the boys brought in long. wicked
looking dagger or poignard that he had
found somewhere on his rambles. An
other picked up big horse pistol
among the debris left from a drunken
row. A third sequestrated stray pair
of Indian clubs; while, from time to
time, others sWelled the list with
hand billy, pair of knuckles, sand
bag and various other implements of
internecine war.
Altogether they made a formidable
array, hanging there on the wall behind
jim Johnson's desk. Jim, by the way.
was quiet, good natured, big hearted
chap. with good bit of ruminative
philosophy in his makeup. He would
walk mile rather than step on one of
the cockroaches swarming around his
desk, and gave nine good reasons for
doing SO. But he was a great, big,
solidly built specimen of humanity,
standing six feet two in his stockings,
with massive shoulders, shaggy head
sledgehammer fist, and the habitual re-
pose of his strongly chiseled features
might be taken by strangers for look
of logged determination "a mask COW
ering unsounded depths of ''ugIiness."
That is how the boys came to use the
wall behind Jim's desk as the hanging
place of the arsenal above described,
together with the following big lettered
placard.

in daylight and was either unconscious
0 regardless of the publicity to which
she was subjecting herself. There wasn't
any thing particular to see, anyhow,
and all the charm of it, to those mascu-
inc eyes, lay in the fact that their vie
was surreptitiOus. The girl was clad,
except for the mere outer garment. and
she was engaged in laying on a stage
complexion. Smearing her hands with
what, suppose, was grease paint, she
rubbed her face, neck and arms with
the coating, on which she afterward put
spots of pink. But it was comical to see
how eager the mob was over this glimpse
of ballet-girl through her dressing
room, while a little later they saw
heap more of her across the fOotlightS
