FHR PUBLIC BATHS.

One of the most praiseworthy charities
of New York City Ia its free baths. The
great majority of those who profit by them
are lured into these pools of Bethesda by
the grateful feeling of the cool element
on torrid Summer days. But the fact re-
mains that those who were dirty are
cleaned. and the germs Of manifold dis
ease are drowned in the bracing anodyne,
However true tho aphorism may be
which puts cleanliness as the next door
neighbor TO godliness, II is rs evident as
that two and two make four that it Is a
benefit to tue grimy. perspiring inmates
of the tenement quarters TO be cooled,

application to their bare cuticles of in
vigorating salt water. 1t is fine thing,

THE GRIP CURE.

One good word for the grip is surely in
order after all the evil that has been de-
servedly said about the hateful thing.
The Superintendent Of the State Insane
Asylum at Westboro. Mass, says that
seven of his lunatie patients have had
their intellsets riRhted by severe attack
of the grip. 1t was blessing in disguise
for them. OF course, sane people are not
in it, except through a philanthI Opic
sympathy with one of the most afflicted
portions OF . community. But it is a
pleasure to say even this much good
about the dread epidemic.

EXTINCTION OF THE BUFFALO.
Hunter Bill Palmer Bays There Are
Only 500 Left Now.


"Bill Palmer. Rawhide Buttes, Wyo-
ming" was one of the hrst names written
on the Sherman register yesterday. says
the Chicago Tribune. Mr.. Palmer has
lived ON the plains for over twenty-five
years. and he is now journeying to his
old home in New England, which he has
not seen since the day he started out to
kill Indians.
" For twenty years. told Mr.. Palmer,
" I've hunted game from Running Water
to the Bad Lands, and ought to know
something about the country. When
first went West there were over 5000, 900
buffaloes running wild over the prairie.
Now you never see one.
You can see their monuments in the
form of bleached skeletons over all the
prairie lands. There are not over 800
buffalo on the globe now. There are less
than 100 wild bisons, about 200 in captivity
and 400 in Yellowstone Park.
" Nearly all of the wild ones have been
located. Twenty five are known 10 be in
Texas, twenty In Colorado. twenty-six in
Wyoming aud Montana and fifteen IN
Dakota The big herd said to exist in the
British Possessions was but myth"
