BAYARD TAYLoR'S GRAVE.
The Resting Place Of One Of the Great
Literary Men.
1Philadelphia Press.

Down at Longwaed in the trinity
kept but venerable-appearing burying
ground connected with the history Of
Longwood Westinghouse is the grave
of one of Pennsylvania's greatest lite
rary men, Bayard Taylor, and it is the
Mecca to this day OF many tourists ofa
poetical and romantic tura of mind.
The grave is marked by column Of
green granite in Roman style, which
bears the dates Of the poets birth and
death and the legend "He being dead,
yet speaketh." It was in accordance
with his wishes that he was buried
here, where so many of the friends Of
his youth sleep, and there is something
very touching and gratifying in the
fact that the world wanderer, who had

the noble aud mighty turmoil and lie
in this humble restful spot. 1t was a
realization in certain way of the long.

it was an almost always present, ever

region and the people round. The old
meeting house itself was one OF the
fortresses in the beginning of the long,
great war for freedom, and in those
days echoed the voices of Wendell
Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison,
and it was there that Anna Dickinson
made her first appearance as public
speaker.

Successful. Rain Making.

GooDLASD, Kas.,. Oct., 9.-Frank
Melbourne, the Australian rainmaker,
closed his experiments at this place
yesterday. Melbourne explained that
the cold nights counteracted all the
work he did during the day. Since his
experimenting began, Northwestern
Kansas has had more rain than has
ever fallen here before, and the people
are satisfied with his explanation.
Melbourne was asked last night to sub
NIT proposition for watering the forty
counties in western Kansas, and he
offered to do it for ten cents for each
cultivated acre. There were this year
, 2,000,O 900 acres under cultivation in the
counties which it is proposed to water.

From the disfobing room you are
conducted down stairs into a warm
apartment, which feels like kitchen
in July. A man is willing to turn
back, but his attendant pushes hirl
forward by telling him not to block the
way for the next man behind him.
It's all a ruse. No man is behind.
Then the cork doors open and you are
in Hades sure enough. Hot air from
the furnace almost blinds and stiles.
You stagger and family ask leave to
write letter home before you go any
further, but by this time you can't
struggle. The blood rushes to your
hair and you feel like you were shod in
muffin rings. The perspiration oozes
from your shoulders and the rubber
ring around your arm is ready to sizz
You are carried, half blind, 10 deep
canvass chair, and pushed down. You
get up and walk around, but the place
grows hotter and hotter. More beads
came out on your neck. Your atten-
dant tells you to keep quieG for ten
minutes and he will give you a shower
bath. Ten minutes Of quiet in this
oven! Your head is bursting now and
your heart ready to stand still.
docs this thing ever kill a man ?'

often"

comfortable, you are carried around a
slnuous passage, and Lound up the
steps to the waiting room. 1t is quiet
and cool, without draughts, but full of
comfort. A broad, Morocco lounge
awaits you. Wrapped in sheet you
lie down and waiter now covers YOU
with a spread and tucks it close around,
just as the nurse used to do on Satur-
day nights, when you were a boy and
laid down to pleasant dreams. You
drop like a mummy, forgetting the
world and by the world forgot" You
are at peace with everybody. You for
give the man who charged you forty
cents for hauling your valise across the
Terry; the Danville buttermilk and
Lynchburg clarat have been boiled out;
you only remember the brutal scrubber
of the marble slab with gentlenss. Up
over the high arcade which spans this
trysting place colored globe muffies
an electric arch and sheds a soft
gleam over the half-toned room. A
shapely palm stands in the Centre of
the place and catches the spray from a
graceful fountain. The broad, soft
lounge and white, sweet spread hold
in grateful touch and seem to invite
you to repose, recalling the Elysian
wish Of Voltaire; "Cover me with per-
fume, sprinkle ME with flowers, let me
die to the sound of the sweetest"
: Two hours have elapsed since you
entered this building with the dusts
and stains Of life. Now you are white
as statue as and restful as star. You
dream and drift for hours under the
white spread, while the blue globe
fickers and the silvery spray from the
fountain rises and falls. Your blood
flows through your pink veins like
electricity-even the rubber band and
rusty key seem vibrant with new life.
When you return to your dressing
room you order garments of split silk
and fine linen and give away your old
clothes. You redeem your Waterbury
and elm leaf and step back to Broad
way with a feeling Of vitality which
suggests that you "could tear down and
bear the gates Ct Gaza." PAS.

From the New York World.1

From the New York World.
PHILADELPHIA, October 2.-All the
sales-women and cash girls in the
Wanamaker store reported for duty
this morning in black attire. This was
the result OF an order to that effect is
sued several days ago. There was much
feminine excitement and indignation
when the order was communicated to
them, AMI some of those who affected
bright colors and jaunty styles declared
that they would resign before they
would don the sombre robe prescribed
but they didn't.
"After while,n said one of them,
~ will be ordered to eat certain
things and SEe others alone. dom;
object so much to WesG:Ssss-hlac :ss- black in the
store, but I do object to wearing + sza7l
the time, and that's what We'll have to
do now. Heretofore when our Sunday
dresses began to look old We wore them
in the store; now we can't do it unless
We wear black all the time"
Another Lright-eyed little saleswo-
man gave hint as to the cause of the
order being issued.
Pm not bothered much about the
order," said she. II always did dress
in quiet colozs. But some of the girls
have been dressing little too gay;
wearing terribly striking colors and
having their dresses cut rather low.
That's why the order was issued"
The girls are required, it is said, to
buy the material for their black dresses
at the Wanamaker store, but are al
lowed discount of 50 per cent OF the
price.

But the pool is clear apd cool, and
there is no further trouble. You paddle
and kick about for fifteen minutes,
preferring the tank to the endless vapor
of that deep canvas chair or the hot
tiles with their muffin rings. When
you 60 out the attendant feels your
head and waist and shows you that the
former is hot and the latter cold; you
must return to the bath and duck your
head until both become OF equal tenn
perature. Five minutes more in that
bath; things are becoming more COM
Portable. You are getting reconciled to
fate. Your skin is growing pink and
white under the rubber band. When
you decide to go out, you are met by a
deputy grandmaster and carried to a
little room with lounge where two or
three men rub you down with crash
and give you massage ordeal which
makes you glow. The temperature of
this room is several degrees cooler. The
towels irritate; the reaction has set in.
Your head and waist are equally cool,
the rubber band has ceased to siZZ.

The Unspaakable Turkish Bath.
Augusta Chronicle.

Did you ever take Turkish bath :?
When You are in New York be certain
to go down to Twenty-ffth street, and
inquire for the bath house. After an
all-day jaunt in New York such place
is worth seeking. You have bee.

until your bones ache. Then two days
travel has broken you up with every
extreme Of diet from Lynchburg claret
to Danville buttermilk. You want to
be boiled down and smoked out. There
is but one way to do this.

Entering the stone steps of this Rus
so-Turkish establishment you hand the

the folder. The Office man locks them
in drawer before your eyes and gives
you the key. 1t is attached to a rub
ber ring which is worn around the
wrist all through the fiery ordeal. If
your purse contains leaf pulled from
the elm tree at Cambridge where

The candidate for fursu-c cSrdvance-
ment lapses into moist despair anu
wonders if he will live to see that show
er bath. t1e asks for an iced melon, a
fan, refrigerator, anything to relieve
this Sizing monotony. Finally the
grand-masEer, who is dressed like an
ordinary brother, comes along with his
white trunk and satisfies himself that
you are going to die. He notes that
you are not going to die. He notes
that you are in profuse perspiration
and carries you into small closet,
where he turns on q shower of cold
water. This shock is severe and elec-
trical. You haven't very much feeling
after this and follow the grand-master
with submission. He locks you up in a
marble room and puts you on a cold
slab which looks like a dissecting
table. He folds your hands over your
breast, puts coppers over your eyes and
tells you to keep your mouth closed.
Then you think of your past conduct
and reflect upon the number of things
you have done and haven't done. An
hour ago, life was sweet and hope was
young-now you are two stories under
ground on marble slab, with strange
man scraping you like hog, and moth
ing for the coroner to identify you by
except the rubber ring aud rusty key.
He makes a few massage passes over
you with soap and sea-moss farine. He
rakes your hair with currycomb and
tickles your feet with a bastinado. He
slaps and rubs and beats until you
aren't t"ny better than cadaver. Then
he stands you up and you are ready for
the undertaken. You go back to the
steaming room where long pool of
water stretches out in marble tark.
The air is dim with vapor, but the
wafer is clear and inviting. You are
thrown into the nataorium anG the
house doesn't give itself any more con-
Germ about you. The grand-master
hunts another candidate and dresses
down another carcass.
