BATHS MADE EASY

CORE espondent Draws an Alluring
Picture of Lake Como" Reclaimed.
A correspondent is given free expression
below upon an interesting topic. Some
notes are added at the conclusion by the
RECORD UNION, to correct errors into which
the correspondent falls:
EDS. SUNDAY UNION: For the past month our
citizens have been talking of the feasibility of
bathing establishment. Various ideas have
sona interests. The first and greatest of ali in
terests is, will this pay interest on the invest
ment and expense of experimenting? The
writer thinks il possible to make it a paying
investment. We have as fine pond of fresh
and naturally pure wafer as can be found,
known as Lake Como" At present it is a
dumping g.ground for refuse and the water is con
taminated. There IS plenty of surface area in
it and TO spare, and the enterprising man will
readily see that the banks all around this lake
can be made pleasant grassy green.
1t caD be done by adding thirty or forty feet to
the banks OF fresh earth, few hundred car
loads of gravel put over the bottom, and we
will have pond at our doors. Then go up the
American river six or seven miles, lay one
foot sewer pipe with one-foot grade to the mile,
and We will raise the pond level three feet
higher than it now is. Put in a one foot pipe
leading 70 the river turn in the stream, and in
twenty days time all the stagnant pool will be
cleansed 1t will then be ready for use. Bath
ing booths and seats can be erected as de.
manded. Boats may be added for pleasure, and
small fee charged. large floating barge
might be put in or made stationary in the center
at small expense. where the more expert swim
mers could give exhibitions of skill in deep
water; or the place in the center can be used
for the evening concerts by our bands,
and the citizen, resting from his days
labor, can enjoy himself on the banks of
Like Como" and forget his toll. In time the
much disliked place can be converted into
recreation lake and a pleasure g'ound, for its
slopes can be made a garden. But while the pond
would be a bathing or boating resort, the pond
lily and other water plants could be cultivated
in it. and with trees snd towering rlapts on the
banks. 1t would be more ornamental than the
punches of willows that now partially encircle
II. Such improvement would show to the world
that we are an enteIprising people, and every
train that passes would take out for us an adj
yeriisement that Sacramento has the finest re-
creation pond in the land. 1t would be conye
nient of access. as it is adjoining to the depot,
and is reached By both lines of street cars.

In an address to 276 fair young women
who graduated from the normal college in
New York, General Sherman told them
not to be in a hurry to marry, but when
they did, to pick out manly fellow and
be womanly woman, not trying to usurp
the rights of man. He also remarked:
"The happiest life is the one that involves
labor. You must have some object in life.
Eight hours day is good days labor,
and if while you work you do something
good for mankind, you will be better salts.

There are two young artisans of Bristol,
named johnson, who are twins and be-
tween whom the similarity is far more re-
markable than in Shakespeare's two
Dromios even. Not only are they of the
same height and weight, having the same
colored hair, eyes and complexion, identi-
cal physical measurements and feeding,
walking, running, laughing, crying, singing
and speaking alike, but they are of the
same occupation, hold the same position
and have the same religious persuasion
and likes and dislikes. More singular
still, they have espoused very similar
wives and they have the same number OF
children, who are of the same sexes, three
girls and three boys each.

And They Moved.

Down in East Thirteenth street,
tho other day. two pedestrians sud-
denly halted and looked up Mt q
fourth-story window. The lower
sash was raised, and the head and
shoulders of q child about two years
old could be seen. In three minutes
there was group of a dozen men
and women, aad the child had got
it's breast on the lower sill and was
reaching to get hold of string
hanging from the cornice--a remind.
er of some disaster to q kite.
"Heavens he'll fall" gasped one.
Certain to smash down on the
pavement" added n second.
"Stopl stopl Go backl' shouted a
third.
Everybody had something to say,
and while they we're saying it the
child wriggled further and further
over the sill. At length woman
with n basket on her arm cried out:
"What fools you men arel Why
don't you run and ring the bell and
notify the mother?"
Three or four started, but they had
not crossed the street when the
child lost it's balance and pitched
out head first. There was amurmur
of horror, but it was checked as the
fall Of the child was stopped two feet
below the sill, and there he hung,
squalling, with a leather strap buck
led to his right ankle. His howls
brought n woman to the window,
and she pulled him up, depositing
him inside, and then said to the gap
ing crowd below:
"Thought I:didn't know my bussi-
ness, eh? Well, / just do, and you

the following as composition on
breathing" The instruction was:
Tell all you can about breathing"
He said:
Breath is made OF air. We breathe
with our lungs, our lights, our liver
and kidneys. II it wasn't for our
breath we would die when we slept
Our breath keeps the life a-going
through the nose when we are asleep.
Boys that stay In a room all day
should not breathe. They should wait
till they get out doors. Boys in room
make bad unwholesome air. They
make carbonicide. Carbonicide is
polsoner than mad dogs. A heap OF
soldiers was in black hole In India.
and carbonicide got in that there
hole. and nearly killed every one afore
morning. Girls kill the breath with
corosits that squeeze the diagra m.
Girls can't holler or run kke boys,

much. II was girl. ! had rather
