Tn, First Days Bathing in the Tubs
Provided BY MIlIlonaIre Lick.

Tn, First Days Bathing in the Tubs
Provided by Millionaire Lick.
Il was very evident that the public was
not unaware OF the hour at which the
Lick free baths were to b opened, as at
l o'clock that day large crowds were be-
fore the entrance of the building on
Tenth street, near Howard. From this
time on until the baths were closed at 7
o'clock the attendants had their hands
quite full in caring for the patrons and
visitors. Men, women, boys and girls
were all there, and the responsibility of
the class of people who benefited by the
generosity Of the great philanthropist
was particularly noticeable.
In less than half an hour after the
opening of the baths the mems depart
ment was completely filed. and the large
waiting room had from thirty to forty
in it awaiting their turn, while the cor
rider leading from this room to the bath
room was filled as well. The depart
ment for the opposite sex was not so
well patronized at the start, but-was
fully filled, and those who did accept
of the advantages offered were of the
better walks of life. Women came by
twos, mothers with their children, nurses
with their charges, and many others
hocked in to obtain visitors cards with
the evident intention of taking their
bearings and coming again.
In the department for males there are
forty rooms. These are large and light,
with walls of corrugated iron, about 8
feet high and open at the top, for the
free circulation of air. The whole in
terror is painted white, and n more
scrupulously lean apartment could not
be found. Each room contains a large
tub, in which you can have either a hot
or cold bath. Each is furnished with a
o table and char, a mirror, beside
which is suspended brush and comb, and
at the end of the tub there is a flesh
brush n n lea wire crate full of soap.
Half an hour is allowed each bather. II
a bather comes with his own towel there
is no charge for the bath. and a blue
ticket of admission is issued to him; if
he requires a towel a deposit of five
cents is asked, and he is provided with a
yellow ticket, while if he must have two
towels he is required TO deposit ten
cents, and a red ticket of admission is
given.
The major portion of those patronizing
the baths asked for the yellow ticket.
which must be returned with the towel.
In the mems quarter is an excellent
shower bath, but in the women's depart
ment there is none There are just half
as many rooms in thesa as in the mems
quarter, and from the attendance this
seems to be a wise provision, as the pro-
portion of patronage must have been
three or our to one in favor of the males.
A great many visitors tickets were
Issued, and among those who applied for
these were many prominent business
men and many ladies who are interested
in the welfare of the masses. The baths
are open from l to Z p. IN. ON every day
except Saturday and Sunday. On Sat
urday they open at / and close at 8. while
on Sunday they are open in the morning
from 7 to 10.
The baths are supplied with water
from IN artesian well 200 feet deep with
a capacity of 5000 gallons an hour

Mans Relation to His Country.

Not recognizing the fundamental dis tinction between a society which, having fighting for it's chief business, makes sustentation subordinate, and society which, having sustentation for it's chief business, makes fighting subordinate, there are xnany who assume that dis cipinary policy appropriate to the first is appropriate to the last also. But the relations of the individual to the state are in two cases entirely different. Un- like the Greek, who, not owning him. self was owned by his city, the English
 man is not in any appreciable degree owned by his nation, but in a very posi- tive way owns himself. Though, if of fit age, he may on great emergency be taken possession of and made to help in defending his country; yet this contin~ gency qualities to but small extent the private possession of his body and the self directing of his actions.-Herbert Spencer in Popular Science Monthly.

A Sacred Log.

There is a log of yellowish colored wood standing just outside of Ch'l Hua gate, Pekin. This. log has remained in it's present position since the fall of the old Ying dynasty. It is in good preservation and has commanded the respect of all classes and conditions of people. Insects in China usually make inroads in timber in a very short while, but they are said never to alight upon this sacred tree trunk, and it is true that they have not left single trace of their work upon it, while the timbers in every direction are perfect honeycomb of insect work.
 The Chinese people believe that the log is the habitation of some god, and on that account gather and worship at it's base at least once year. Among the higher classes the day for this unique species of worship is the first of each succeeding month, unless that day should happen to be a new moon day. Oct. of every year the emperor com- mands the board of ceremonies to ap- point committee to pay their respects to the deified log.-Chicago Times

Men Who Do Not Smoke,

There is prevalent idea that men who abstain from tobacco indulge to ex- cess in some other stimu1ant. There is some truth in this. Balzac, who es- chewed tobacco as a weed that injured the body, attacked the intellect and stu pefed the nations, drank great quanti- ties of coffee, which produced the terri ble nervous disease that shortened his life.
 Goethe was a nonsmoker. So was Niebuhr. But the former is computed to have drank some 5O,O0O bottles of wine during his lifetime, and the latter took a tremendous quantity of snuff. Nevertheless it must be acknowledged that very large number of brain work CTS indulge in no stimulants whatever, or use them very sparingly.-New York Sun

Using Old Dress Goods.

The remnants of party dresses and ancestral bridal robes furnished the material for some exquisite wall pockets for letters Cor what not) that were sent to woman's exchange. Circles of pasteboard the size of a small tea plate were covered on the right side with white brocade dotted with tiny rosebuds. The side next the wall was covered with silesia. The pocket piece was half circle, cut out little at the top so that it was slightly crescent shaped. This piece was also covered with the brcsade Around both the circle and pocket piece was laid a very narrow ball fringe with a gimp top, and the balls made over buttons. The colors in the fringe were of pink and white silk, as was also the cord by which it was to be hung.
 Other pockets were covered with yell low and white- with pale pink and pale blue. A piece of moire makes beau tifufcovering for these pockets. .-New York Post.

The Magnetic Button Fastener.

A clever adaptation of electricity is found in the magnetic button fastener. The difficulty in the common machines has been the absence of plan sufficient ly simple for feeding the buttons from the receiving hopper on the top of the machine down the tube leading to the stamping mechanism. This is now ef- fected by the magnet, which, playing up and down in the hopper through a slot in the bottom, attracts several of the loose buttons at each upward movement On the downward stroke the buttons which cling to the magnet are rubbed off into little trough.-New York Tele- gram.

Ouarrying Salt in Kansas.

Nearly 500 feet below the rolling prai- ries on which Lyons, Kan, stands we are quarrying rock salt. The supply is simply inexhaustible, as drills have pen etrated it to the depth of 300 to 400 feet. The salt is almost pure, the foreign ele ments not being more than per cent. of any given bulk or quantity. We mine the salt outright, while at Hutchinson they get i: out by pumping fresh water on to the bed rock, pump out the salt water and then evaporatei it. Our method is cheaper and more satisfactory?-Inter view in St. Louis Globe Democrat.

 HEALTH, PLENTY AND LIBERTY.
 wish you good cheer for the nation al health. Pestilence, that in other years has come to drive out it's thou sand hearses to Greenwood and Laurel Hill, has not visited our nation. It is glorious thing to be well. How strange that we should keep our health when one breath from a marsh, or the sting of an insect, or the slipping of foot, or the falling of n tree branch might fatally assault our life! Regular ly the lungs work, and their motion seems to be spirit within us panting after its immortality Our sight fails not, though the air is so full of objects which by one touch could break out the souls window. What ship, after years tossing on the sea, could come in with so little damage as ourselves, though we arrive after years voyage today2
 I wish you good cheer for the na tional harvest. Reaping machines never swathed thicker rye, and corn husker's peg never ripped out fuller ear, and now poles never bent down under sweeter hay, and windmilrs hop per never shook out larger wheat. Long trains of white covered wagons have brought the wealth down to tho great thoroughfares. The gamers are full, the storehouses are overcrowded, the canals are blocked with freights pressing down to the markets. The cars rumble all through the darkness and whistle up the flagman at dead of night to let the western harvests come down to feed the mouths of the great cities. A race of kings has taken pos- session of this land--king Cotton, King Corn, King Wheat. King Rice, King Grass, King Coal.
 wish you good cheer for civil and religious liberty No official spy watches our entrance here, nor does an armed soldier interfere with the honest utterance of truth. We stand here today with our arms free to work and our tongues free to speak. This | Bible-it is all unclasped. This pulpit there is no chain around about it. There is no snapping of musketry in the streets. Blessed be God that to- day we are free men, with the prospect and determination of always being free. No established religion-Jew and Gentle, Arminian and Calvinist, Trin- itarian and Unitarian, Protestant and Roman Catholic on the same footing | If persecution should come against the most unpopular of all the sects, I believe that all other denominations would band together and arm them selves, and hearts would be stout, and blood would be free, and the right of men to worship God according to the dictates of their consciances would be contested at the point of the bayonet and with blood flowing up to the bits | of the horses brides.
 For mercies temporal and spiritual let consecrated lives be offered When ever Gods light shines and Gods rain descends. and Gods mercy broods, let the thanksgiving arise!

Food for Very Young Children.

While child between one and half and two years old must generally be fed five or six times day, between the second and third year no more than five meals will be needed, and, as a rule, four will be quite sufficient. After it's second year greater variety of foods may be given, but all which are not easy of digestion must be religiously excluded from it's diet. Until two and a half years old it's meat should be in- variably crushed into paste. From this time until it is three and half years old roast turkey and chicken may be allowed, but these foods, as we'll as beef and mutton must be minced fine, for digestive disturbances are liable to occur if this is neglected.
