A number of New York's foremost
citizens have organized themselves into
the New York Bath Association; with
the purpose of establishing in that city
system of public baths similar to that of
ancient Rome. The plans for the baths
have been settled upon. The building
will occupy nearly whole city block,
and accommodate vast number of per.
sons at once. 1t will be patterned after
the Roman baths, with all modern appli.
ances and comforts, and will be three
stories high. The outer walls will be Of
terra Gotta and brick or stone, and all
the floors marblcd or tiled. The upper
doors will be converted into Libraries and
gymuasiums, and the bathing rooms will
have large swimming pool, hot baths,
plunges and dressing rooms.

Effects of Coca Leaves.

The increase of ones power of endr.
ance by the use of coca leaves, especially
in the higher attitudes, is something mar,
velous. Aside from relieving sirroche-
the distressing difficulty of breathing in.
cident to exercise in the thin air of the
Andes, it is said to completely abolish all
sense of hunger and fatigue. 1t is an
nndoubted fact that an Indian, when well
Mpplied with coca, will travel from fifty.

The-Chifago Herald notes with pride
that "the English seem to be taking
somewhat to baseball-a game which
they have always despised and rejected
heretofore. Even when played on
British soil by crack American mines they
could see nothing in it, and put it down
as poor game, compared with cricket.
But some Englishmcn, encouraged by a
few Americans, have now organized a
league on the plan of the American as.
sociations. 1t is called by the high
sounding title of the National League
OF Professional Baseball Clubs of Great
Britain, and embraces clubs from Derby,
Preston, Birmingham and Stoke-on.

England shoald get aroused on the SUBJ
ject of baseball just as the excitement at
games, the interest in the vicissitudes of

grca. name in the annals of ball playinr

with less than on"-teRth OF the capital or

In my last l spoke principally Of fruit

fact that vegetables Of all kinds yield

Care of the. Hands.

The first mysterious step towards hav-
ing white hands is to have clean hands,
and for this use tepid water and as pure
soap as YOU can buy. \ few drops of
ammonia or powdered EoraX are also to
be used frequently TO clean and soften
the hands. Stains may be removed by
lemon juice. or fine white sand, or
pUmice- stone. The use of lemon Juice
occasionally also whitens the hands, as
does thorough rubbing in oatmeal,
mixed with water An excellent and
trustworthy preparation to be used on
the hands at night is the white Of an
egg with grain of alum mixed with 1t.
Sweet almond oil Will also soften very
rough hands, and may be thoroughly
rubbed into them at night, and then
covered by loose kid gloves. 1t is we'll
to cut off the ends OF the fingers OF the
gloves worn 1T night, so as to keep the
finger tips and nails from looking dry,
and also to ventllate the skin. When
lemon Juice will not remove fruit stains,
oxalic acid may he used. Vegetable
stains may often be removed by raw po-
tatoes.
Many cases of rough and chapped
hands are caused by not drying the
hands sufficiently after washing, and
then exposing them TO cold or heat while

Curing Corn.

The common practice IN the interior,
and indeed one very general elsew here,
has been to cut corn and shock il in its
early maturity. By this process the
grain dries ont and hardens and the
stalks retain most of their leaves, SO
that after the corn has been husked Il
crop of grain and II crop of fodder Is
| realized from the same planting. From
experiences made by Prof. Shelton, at
the Kansas Agricultural Station, it was
found that in nearly every case where
adjacent rows of corn were cut at inter
walls of seven to twelve days. the largest
yield of the best quality of corn was
found in the rows cut latest. 1t was
plainly taught III the seventy odd cases
tried that corn continues to improve in
weight until the very last-after the
blades of the plant have been dried up
and quite likely blown away, and seem
ingly until the juices of the stalks have
been completely sucked up.
The figures shown in the careful cut
tings and weighings of corn at different
stages OF rlpeness, says the Professor,
seems to point to a real principle in the
growth of the crop which the farmer
! cannot afford to ignore. 1t is perfectly
clear that We must raise corn for corn.
with no thought of fodder: and again,
corn which has no higher purpose than
fodder. We must, in short. have two
com fields on every farm, receiving radi-
cally different treatment to correspond
with the different purposes for which
they are cultivated.
In considering the above, says the
Worid it must be remembered that
corn fodder in Kansas has a smaller pro
portion of leaves and blades than is
found on the varieties grown in the New
England and Middle States where pick
ing the ears from the standing stalks
and leaving the latter unharvested,
would be thought a wasteful process.
