Mrs. I.angtry's Silver Bath Tub.

A curious story is told as to the origin
of Mrs. Langtry's silver bath. Bath
makers believe that there is only one
silver bath in the world. This was made
some years ago for an Indian prince by
London bathmaker, and he supposes
that. the owner having died, the silver
bath came into the market and was
bought by Mrs. Langtry. n silver bath
isa tremendous affair. Some few wealthy
people have copper baths plated with
silver, but the cost is but trillc COM
pared with the genuine article. Some
wealthy people who so in for luxurious
bathing fill their bathrooms with statu-
ary, have painted tile walls. and the bath
Is fitted into case of carved oak. Then
there are marble baths. They arc both
cold and costly.
The-niestt novel thing In baths, how
ever, is one fitted with 4 shower bath
overhead, needle spray bath at the sides
and wave bath that rushcs out at the
foot. These are in addition to the ordinary
hot and cold taps. So that n possessor of
one of these ingenious things can l-sS-e GU
stulas ~HLv.iravua dozen or moro differ
ent sorts of towels for bathing. After
the ordinary Turkish and huckabaclz
towels some doctors are fond of recon-
mending towel of rushcs, made appro-
priately enough by Russian peasants. 1t
is hard and stiff and feels like coarse
aishcloth. Its use is confined to bathroom
Rnatics who think they are happy in
braiding their skins. Then there is an
astic towel made of net, and another
kin raiser called loofah. This is i'm
ported from Egypt. The loofah is made
of dried grass and it doesn't soften by I'M
mersion in watcr.-Kansas City Times.

giving an account of the facts. From the
original letter we have the following copied
extract; the original letter was seen in June,
1887, by Mr.. Hodgson and myself:
The events of this week have been
such a shock-I have not recovered from it
poor Mr.. E dying there all alonel His daughter
was there three hours before his death. but he
pressure OF her hand, but it is doubtful.
Your brother and his wife had come in on
Wednesday morning to make purchases. Then
the telegram came telling of his death; they
had not heard of his illness, only of his having
cold. OF course it put other business aside,
and W. had to make arrangements for the fu-
neral, and everything devolved on him. Mrs.
E. came in from Ottawa. did not hear any,
thing till Thursday, when B. came up TO tell us
it was all so hurried. Pneumonia
had caused paralysis OF the heart, which caused
his sudden death. They had telegraphed that
he was very i'll, and they feared the result;
then, again, that he was better, and they hoped
danger was past; then in few hours that he
was gone. In less than two days he was
brought to Montreal and buried-so very hur-
ried.
in letter from the wife of Mr.. j. 7. to a
member of the family. The original of this
letter, also, has been in our hands;
expect j. home about the middle of
next month. What a strange dream ]. had
about Mr.. ELS death! He last saw him few
days after Christmas, when they both called to
see us. will answer your questions about the
dream as far as can: fortunately kept Us
letters telling about his dream, as thought it
very remarkable. For several DAYS before,
and exactly week after, Mr.. E.'s death there
were heavy snow storms in n. B., so that j. did
not see a Montreal paper or hear from me in
that time; ii trains wele showed up on the line
together. This explains why he did not hear
from me. l will copy what he SAYS in his letter
of Wednesday, March g. from st. John n. B.
Then follows the extract already given.l
In answer to questions, Mrs. j. T. has as
sured us in writing, first, that her husband
had heard nothing oil Mr.. E. for long time,
and did not know where be was. and, second,
that she herself heard of Mr.. Z. S death on
Thursday, the 25th, and at on,e wrote to her
husband, but that he did not get this or any
further letter from her before Thursday,
March 4. The coincidence is remarkable,
and is excellently established. As to the
closeness of the coincidence, the dream either
occurred, as is possible, at the time of the
death, or else, as think likely, few days
later, while in any case no news of the actual
death could have passed; and it was dream
OF serious illness, with sense OF something
mysterious and dark connected with the
matter, and in the course of it the impression
arises that Mr.. E. is dead.
