How Women Should Battle.

Everybody thinks. of course, that she
knows how to bathe. And some people
do. That certainly must be allowed The
best sort of bath to take, best for your
skin and best for your brain-for after all
brains need baths as much as do hands
depends altogether on your constitution.
For good proportion OF people it should
be pretty warm and creamy with soapsuds,
and you should plunge intoit and rub your
self entirely.
Then, after you have scrubbed and
rubbed until your skin looks like the pre-
verbal milk, and you feel as if you would
like to lie down and 20 to sleep, you want
to take your tonic bath. and that is the
shower one-cold as cold can be- The first
few streams will make you jump with
fright, but in a second or two you are alb
solutely enjoying the downpour, and you
come out Of it warm and glowing.
OF course you will think you can't stand
the cold conclusion. and the chances ara
you will think soquite strongly Probably
you will be mistaken, but if you should by
any chance he right in the matter, impro-
wise Russian shower; that is. one begin
ming at the temperature Of the water in
which you bathe and gradually getting
cold. You can do this by taking pitcher
after pitcherful of water and pouring them
over your shoulders and all over your body,
and the slight exertioa used IN handling the
pitcher will tend TO make you warmer and
to moderate what might be called the
shock. The knowledge how TO use water
and soap Is easily gained, and urges one on
TO greater wisdom, 10 wit, the knowieligs
of how to keep clean the house and E1oge

He Might Hare Known.


"Say, boyl'' called out an excited man Of
middle age, rushing from one of the tall
Office buildings on Dearborn street yester-
day afternoon, what will you take for
your whole stock OF those internal things?'
The boy had been standing ON the side
walk in front of the building all day rasp-
ing calliope whistle back and forth across
his mouth, stopping only when somebody
wanted to buy one and beginning again
with renewed energy when the sale was
completed.
He counted up the whistles he had on
hand made rapid mental calculation
and replied:
''I'll take dollar 'naf fur de lot"
''If buy all you've got win you go away
from here and not come back any more?"
asked the excited man.
"Surei | go out o de business"
'Hand 'em over Hold onl | want the
one you're blowing, too! Here's your
money"
"All right, bossI Here's de goods"
lie turned over his entire stock, pocketed
his sl.50 and disappeared.
The middle aged man went inside the
building with his load of calliope whistles,
and Il few minutes later he was at his desk
near one of the front windows in the third
story. The wooden whistles. broken to
fragments, were in his wastebasket, and
look of peace, to which be had long been a
stranger, was on his face.
Fifteen minutes had passed away-fif-
teen quiet, peaceful, happy minutes.
Then a weird, horrible, agonizing yet
strangely familiar sound broke on his ear.
He raised the window and looked out.
The sidewalk directly below was black
with struggling mass of boys. Each boy
was loaded down with calliope whistles
and each was blowing one of the instru-
ments OF torture with all his might The
uproar was frightful and getting worse
every moment.
Then the peaceful, happy look faded out
of that middle aged mans face. He shut
down the window, closed his desk, put on
his hat and overcoat. went out of the
building by the back stairs and faded
away presently in the gloom of Randolph
street.
He had made the mistake of his life

There was once a Fobber in Cairo who
fell from the second story of house he
was trying TO enter and broke his leg (said
Charles Dudley Warner recently at the
Aldine club on story teller's night. He
went to the eadi and complained The
mans window was badly made and ne
wanted justice. The cadi said that was
reasonable, and he summoned the owner of
the house. The owner confessed that the
house was poorly built but claimed that
the carpenter was to blame and not he.
This struck the cadi as sound logic, and
he sent for the carpenter '"The charge is.
alas, too true" said the carpenter, but
the masonry was at fault and | couldn't
fit good window" So the cadi, impressed
with the reasonableness of the argument
sent for the mason. The mason pleaded
guilty, but explained that a pretty girl IN
a blue gown had passed the bailding whiIe
he was at work, ana that his attention had
been diverted from his duty. The cadi
thereupon demanded that the girl be
brought before him.
at is true" she said, "that am pretty.
but it's no fault of mine If nv gown at
tTacted the mason, the dyer should be pun
ished and not l." Quite true said the
cadi send for the dyer" The dyer was
brought to the bar and pleaded guilty
That settled it, The cadi told the robber
to take the guilty wretch TO his house and
hang him from the doorsill, and the popu-
lace rejoiced that justice had been done
But pretty soon the crowd returned to the
cadi's house. complaining that the dyer
was too long to be properly hanged from
his doorsill. "Oh, we'll said the cadi. who
by that time was suffering with ennui, go
find short dyer and hang him Justice
shall prevail San Francisco Argonaut

Knowledge Under DimcuItie

"Jeptha," said Mrs. Jones, looking up
from book she was reading, what is a
periwinkle:"
"Why, Maria, don't you know" re-
torted Mr.. Jones in cautious way. Il
thought everybody knew what a peri
Wrinkle was"
"Y-e-s," hesitated Mrs. Jones, 81 knew
it was some kind of pollywog"
"Pollywog?" roared Jones; "that's
news to mel"
There was long silence broken only
by the striking of the cuckoo clock, and
then Mrs. Jones asked humbly:
"Jeptha, what is a periwinkle?"
"Maria, it's a periwinkle,' said Jones
in tone that admitted of no dispute
"Why do you ask"
Because it says in this novel, Her
eyes were as blue as periwinkle,' and
| wanted to know how blue that was"
Late that night lights fiickered in the
Jones household, and two seekers after
knowledge met face to face in the Jones
library.
I'm looking for periwinkle," said
Mrs. Jones.
"Tm looking for the dictionary" re-
marked Jeptha.
Mrs. Jones had the book and presently
she announced in tone of triumph:
"Ha. peri~inkle!-'a small shellfsh.'
Didn't knos as much as you thought
you did, Mr.. Jones?"
80! Her eyes We're as blue as she'll
fish? Beautiful definition that Gimme
the book, Maria"'
''Take it," said Mrs. Jones nearly
flooring him with an embarrassment of
riches in the shape of Webster's un-
abridged.
Him! shellfsh!-Ah, l knew there
must be something else! It's "a little
boat"
Her eyes were as blue as a little boat
there's no sense in that" said Mrs.
Jones. Give me the dictionary"
I've got it" she exclaimed, ''its
'gasteropodous mollusk,' that must be
Latin for blue"
Let me see that book" said Jones,
and the dictionary was dropped on him
again.
Maria, you always jump at conclu-
sions Here You are, a Towering plant

say they were china blue or saucer blue

Don't swear, Jeptha,S said Mrs.
Jones, ''if it hadn't been for that we'd
never know the color of periwinkle."

The jews on the Malabar Coast,

The house of the British resident at
the Court of Cochin stands on the Island
of Balghatty, in the midst of the lagoon,
and it il easy to visit from it both the
native and the British town. The most
curious thing in the former is the very
ancient Jewish settlement, which goes
back far beyond all authentic record
and is in possession of deed engraved
on metal which may well be as old as
the Seventh century A. D.; much older,
that is, than any existing manuscript of
the Old Testament. How the Jews came
there is a mystery. but it is perfectly
possible-nay. even probable-that there
were commercial dealings between the
ports at the head of the Red sea and the
Malabar coast at an immensely remote
period.
The pepper trade, which has its main
center between Calicut and Tellicherry.
rather to the north, must be one of the
oldest in the world d-M. E. Grant Duff

Travelling in China.

In north China You may perhaps have
your choice of three methods of travel
ing. You may, if you will, take your
place in springless Peking cart, kind
of box or cage with no seat. The pas
senger is obliged to squat on the floor
cross legged, or to sit with legs stretched
out at right angles with his body, and
as the cart jolts over great stones or
through the deep ruts in the road, he is
liable to be bruised black and blue.
Ii such cart looks uninviting, you
may conclude to try mule litter This
consists of an oblong box slung between
two mules, which never keep step. and
not infrequently quarrel, and the sway
ing, unsteady motion is as bad as that of
a ship in a heavy squall Or, once
more, you may prefer to ride donkey
with backbone like q razor, and proba-
bly, with no saddle and single rope for
bridle.-Exchange.

that the Parnellites are in favor of peace.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan, 2G.-Thousands of
peasants from the famine stricken districts
have started 10 Siberia. in the forlone hope
OF lettering their condition. On Saturday
last 400 emigrants. who had the city OF
TOboliski rs their objective point, arrived
at Ticomen, 120 miles from that city. Most
Of them were too i'll to proceed further.
They were all destitute. Their number
has been constantly added to, until now
there are Il, 600 persons in the town and ITS
vicinity absolutely destitute and helpless,
and whom it is entirely impossible for the
residents of the place to help.
The condition Of affairs is too horrible
for language to describe These people
are entirely dependent upon charity, which
affords hut the scantiest food. Their only
shelter is sheds of light board, which do
not save them at all from the horrors of
the Siberian winter. They try to keep
warm by budding together IN groups, and
thus disease generates and spreads with
frightful rapidity, and almost without eX
ception results fatally. So numerous
have the deaths become that there is no
pretense at holding funerals. The weather
Is so intensely cold that the bodies freeze
stiff shortly after death.
Amid all this deep and bitter misery the
action Of the priests of the Greek church
stands out in vivid contrast to the human
fly which should be shown by men of
their calling They fatty refuse 10 Off
ciate at the side of the dying or to perform
the funeral rites over the dead unless paid
by the wretchedly poor people, many Of
whom have not a single cOpeck.

Barred Out.

Mr.. W. Hamilton Gibson. the artist, tells
this as one of his experiences In New Eng
land. He was stopping at the home of
man named Galusha, where he had lodged
during the preceding summer. He had OBJ
served on his previous visit that the
Galushas were making great preparations
for the annual fair at North Adams, and
he was surprised to note that, at the time
of his later visit, no such preparations were
