WHO do not bring their own towels will be
furnished those necessary articles on pay
ment of cents.
The history of the splendid Institution
which is now ready for public use shows
what care and foresight the Trustees
brought to the fulfillment of their trust.
The original bequest of James Lick for
pubic-bath purposes amounted to S150000.
OF this sum the Trustees expended some
site (only part OF which is now occupied by
the baths) and since then they have spent
GOO additional in street improvements,
building and furnishing, leaving balance
in hand to-day of S2T, 800
This balance, though quite respectable
sum in itself, would not be sufficient to carry
On the trust were it not for the fact that the
prOperty has trebled in value since its pur-
chase, and large revenue will be derived
from rentals OF the unoccupied portion,
which it is intended to lease for a term Of
years. The valuation Of the property is now
estimated as fellows:

The Cantcen System.

X recent announcement to the effect that he 'eanteen system was to be introduced in the military post at Fort Smelling awakened no litllc curiosity. not only among the younger generation of civilians, but among Grand Army men, veterans of the war of the rebell- ion. The eanteen system, as under stood by tho latter, consisted during the eyentful years intervening between 1861 and 1865 in smuggling peach and honey and eommissary whisky into camp. This is, in reality. about all the canteen system of which the old boys in blue were cognizant. But the can teen system which it is now proposed 10 introduce into the American Army is altogether different one. It Is an adaptation of custom now general in European armies, particularly so among English troops. There is to be wet and dry canteen. The wet canteen consists si2nply of post club room fit ted up with library, games and rc- freshment annex, where, for an exceea- ingly small sum, tho private soldier can procure coffee, tea. cocoa. or chocolate, eggs, soup, or square meal. The dry canteea will dispense articles of wear ing apparel. notions for the toilet and all the stocks usually found at the post traders or the sutier's. Both will be under government control. and. instead of exorbitaat prices being the rule. first cost is all that is expected from Uncle Sam's blue coats, The canteen system has proved success In Europe; that ie will be in the United States is regari. ed as undoubted. --Sf.

THE CONGO sAvAcES.
Herbert Wards Account of the Horrible
 Human Sacrifice.

The victim is placed on block of wood, with his legs stretched out stiff in front of him. Beside each ankle a small stake is driven firmly into the ground, the same at the knees and al the sides, running up under the arm pits. These are then firmly bound together by cords. securing the cody rigidly in it's position His head Is then placed i'll kind of cage formed by a ring of cane fastened round the neck with numerous strings attached to 1t which are drawn up over the head and tied together in a loop, A pliant young saping k now stuck in the ground about twelve feet from the vic tim and bent over toward him until the extreme end k caught in the loop, and all the strings round the ring drawn taut and the neck stretched stiff by the strain.
 The executiencr then makes his ap- pearauce, escorted hy the young men and women of the village. each holding over him palm-leat fan, forming q kind of canopy. On reaching the vic tim they fall back and leave him there alone. He wears cap formed of large black cocks tails; his face is hlackened with charcoal down to his neck; his hands and arms are also blackened up to the elbows. and the same with his legs down 10 the knees. Around his loins he wears several wildcat skins. Standing In front of his victim, he makes at first two or three feints with his knife. to get the proper swing. Then deliberately bending down and taking piece of chalk, put there for the purpose. he draws a thin line around the neck, and putting a little tine sand on his hand so as to get a good grip, with one quick blow of his knife. sewers the head from the trunk. Until just before the execution the whole village is wild in expectation of the event. Group of dancers are to be seen drummers at work. and every kind of musical intrument to add to the tumult. The head after being severed. is jerked mp in the air by the released tension of the pole.
 Then, upon the sight of the blood, their silesl and most inhuman passions arc aroused. They act like wild beasts, clutch at the head smear each other in the face with the blood. and general serimmage always ensucs, resulting. moro often than not, fatally Scsao'ssr.

and we have some hnc specimens Ia this province. including somo selec- tons from the best kennels of Germany.
 The Great Dane is the most elegant of the large, short-haired dogs. and he has many good qualities which. in conjnnc- tion with his size and strength. make him desirable and useful animal. He reaches tho weight of 1S0 pounds, aud dogs have been known nearly three feet in height
 This, of course, is an exceptional spcci- men, but the breed ranges from 1a0 pounds. and dogs thirty-two and thirty. three inches high arc not uncommon. A. Maclean Howard. Jr.. has two puppies, Bismarck and Won Moltke that will bc very large dogs. tue former being now about thirty-three inches. and they will grow for some time yet. Charles Cluthe's Biz is another very large dog. The Dane is easily controlled, and as play mate for children has tho recommends ton that he seldom resents bad treat mcnt or teasing, but at the first oppors tuuity withdraws in e dignitlcd manner from his young tormeniors. The cour- age, strength. intelligence, and fidelity desired in a watchdog are his, and his imposing appearance adds 10 his ability as 6 protector. The remarkable variety of marking found among the breed no doubt has much to do with the distinc- ton sometimes ueedlessly drawn as to the varieties. The tiger msstiff got his name from his peculiar markings, for he never hunted the tiger. The black or blue is splashed all over the white ia the most unreasonable style. and tho white runs even into the eye. The glassy wall.eye that would be deformity in any other breed is a regular feature in the Great Dane, and adds to bis striking appearance.
