FOR THE FAIR SEX.

~ .
Perfect healthfulness is impossible with
out perfect cleanliness. Frequent bathing
IS necessary to free the mouths OF the in
Vulnerable little sweat glands from obstruc-
tions, and permit the eliminations of i'm
purities from the body. Another import
ant effect of the bath is its influence on the
circulation Of the blood. A bath, properly
taken, Invariably accelerates the clrcula-
ton. +
One should never battle Immediately after
taking hearty meal, but should wait two
hours at least; nor should he battle when
greatly fatigued. The best time IS just be-
fore retiring at night.
The entire body should be bathed two or
three times during the week in the winter,
and from three to seven times week dur
ing the summer months.
It should be remembered that quick,
hot bath, especially when followed by
cold sponging, is strengthening, while to
remain long in q warm bath is weakening.
A hot bath is one in which the temperature
IS from So to los degrees; a warm bath IS
from 20 TO so degrees, and a cold bath, be-
low 90 degrees.
There are many people to whom cold
bath is injurious. 1t should not be in
dulged unless, when it is followed
by drying and rubbing the skin glows, and

out the body.
1t is desirable to exercise little before
bathing, either by taking short, brisk
walk, or by using dumb bells or Indian clubs
for few minutes. The temperature OF the
bath room should be from IS to 50 degrees
The regular bath of the average person
| should be taken at temperature OF from 20
to 50 degrees. The soap used should be
such as does not irritate the skin. There IS
none better than the genuine white CASTLE.
| One should remain in the bath not more
than ten or twelve minutes, using soap and
sponge freely. 1t is well to use the cold
water faucet two or three minutes before
stepping out, or to take a cool spray or
| shower bath instead.
Immediately upon leaving the bath it is
well to envelope ones self in loose gown
of Turkish toweling or thick flannel. This
will prevent rapid evaporation and the
chilling of the body, and absorb much of
the moisture on the skin. The skin should
then be rubbed with a warm towel till per
fectly warm and dry. The use of the flesh
brush is strengthening and healthful.

not talking, save in jerky, desultory sort of
fashion, but they smoked in a grim, persistent
way that told of meditation The night was
warm and the door stood ajar. Outside the
rain poured down necessarily, ever and anon
the thunder growled like a wild beast hungry
for its prey, and the lightning flashed its
darts OF fame across the lnky sky. An occa-
sional gust of wind rolled in, whereat the gas

The voice was that of new conner, who
had that instant entered the door. His face
wore the bright, audacious, aggressive look
of the man of the world, and it also bore the
stamp of youth and health and hope. Each
ones countenance frightened at his greeting,
and hands were outstretched in welcome. He
took seat at the table and quaffed his beer
with the eagerness of thirst. Then he glanced
about and queried:

Heisteraagen was buried with all the hon

who sat with him that tempestuous evening

many of its kind. The twelyemonth passed,

Then they drank, and drank deeply. The
spell of that former meeting seemed to be
upon them. A hideous mirth unclaimed each
ones tongue and impelled hiui.to chant the
charms of the grave and the WEAKNESS OF
life. A chair was set at the table for Hester
hagen. They shouted for his ghost to join
them, and placed glass of liquor in front OF
the empty seat They asked friends who
dropped in to become members of the club,
and secured several additions to their num-

JOHN kINZIE.

Here, indeed, was an idea to drive away
ennui and gloom. All acquiesced, and the
proposer of the scheme George Leavenworth,
city editor of The Bridgeport Farmer, drew
paper and pencil from his pocket and drafted
a constitution and oath of initiation By the
provisions of the former document any one
weary of life was declared eligible. The club
was to meet monthly, 'or oftener," in Kin
zie's saloon, and on each anniversary of its
birth the members were to shake poker
dice" The one making the smallest cast was
bound by the VOW TO which he subscribed to
kill himself within the ensuing twelvemonth
Those who affixed their names 10 the grus
some documents were Max Heisterhagen
William Nickel, John Kinzie, Wendell Baum,
Carl Roberts, MAJ Pfalzenheim and George
Leavenwcrth.
'sNow, gentlemen cried the last named
nierrily, ''schooners around in which 10 drink
short life and happy exit to the members Of
the Bridgeport Suicide club, and while John
draws the beer I'll give you a verse or two
suitable to the event. Silence ALL
And he began that famous song written by
an English officer IN India when the cholera
moved down men more swiftly than the
battles bullets:
We meet meath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare;
AS they echo our peals of laughter,
It seems that the dead are there
Then stand by your glasses steady,
This world Is a world of lies;
Here's health to the dead already,
Hurrah for the next that dies
The group seemed imbued with certais
Aysterical rilirth; a strange recklessness too
possession of all present.
''Bring the dice" shouted some one "We'I
shake now; we won't wait a year. Hurrah
for the next that dies"
The ivory cubes were produced. Each man
had three throws in which to secure as high
a hand as possible. Remarkable TO state-I
have the story from an eyewitness-all BE-
cured four of a kind; but Heisterhagen and
Kinzie, the lowest two, tied on trays and had
70 shake second time. The latter threw
three tours and pair of deuces. The former
got two skies, two fives and four. His cast
was lower than any of the others; he had
drawn death in the lottery of the dice, and
by the terms of the compact he was bound to
Hill himself within the year.

chuckled over the jolly evening they had
spent together, and congratulated Leaven-
worth on his novel scheme for dispelling the
s'blue devils" that had enveloped them prior
to his appearance.
''Don't forget to kill yourself" they cried
alter Heisterhagen as he said good night, and
plewed his way down side thoroughfsre
through the darkness.
That was the last ever seen Of Max Heis-
terhagen alive He went to his saloon on
Gold street, unlocked the door, lit the gas,
wrote note, took q pistol from drawer
back of the bar and blew out his brains. The
note was addressed to my respected friends

the message was simply this: 81 have kept

b. Fleming was the first witness to-day be-
fore the Raum Committee. Cooper asked
if Butler Fitch had not told him that Brad.
ley Tanner had given the names of six OF
seven Pension Office employees who held
refrigerator stock.
Witness replied that. Fitch had said So
Witness had written an article on the SUBJ
ject, which appeared in an Indianapolis
paper, and had furnished the information
to st. Louis paper. Six or seven good
men besides Fitch supplied witness with
information, four of them being Pension
Office employees. He sent the men to Tan
ner to talk with him and bring the infor-
nation TO witness. He (Fleming) desired to
use it in his newspaper business. His OBJ
ject was not particularly to put up case
on the Commissioner, but to get at the
truth. He had never said he was going
afterithe Commissioner because of his dis
charge. He said he would get even with
the man who got him out, Theodore
Smith, and he had done SO. He (witness)
had been Postmaster at Charlotte, Mich,
and the Postoffice had been robbed
The Com missioner inquired whether the
witness had not been involved in some
sh,dy real estate transactions in Grand
Rapids, but Cooper objected to these per-
sonal matters.
The Commissioner replied that he
wanted to prove that witness was rascal
Cooper-'If you go into that, want to
show that men who live in glass houses
should not throw stones"
Commissioner Raum-"I think your
house is as CLASSY as anybody's."
Cooper-"Well, defy you.

ton Cooper exclaimed: "If cannot. show
more rottenness in his (Raum's) record
than in that of any man in Washington
will Withdraw"
Reference having been made again to
the robbery of the postoffice. Cooper asked
If the Commissioner expected to show that
witness had robbed it.
The Commissioner replied that Cooper
had letter from gentleman who stated
that the witness was suspected of the rob-
berry.
AT this point the committee insisted on
cutting off the examination into this mat
ter, and there being no more witnesses, the
case closed
