ed of two army officers, u Spectator,
four miners and myself. The stage had
been held up pretty frequently, so we
all went fixed for trouble. Every man
had brace of six-shooters and we were
just aching to have the road agent

We commented very unfayorably upon
men who yielded to the derna nds of tho
freebooters without a struggle and
promised them n warm time if they
tackled u.s. One man had little to say.
He was the spcculator, red-headed
man with squint. Finally one of the
army officers asked him what he would
do if the robbers attacked us and he
replied that he did not know. AS we
swung around sharp bend in the road

driver threw up his hands and almost

gun and shot thesbandit so full of holes
that he died before he could touch the

Failing in Love,

The best authorities say that whoever
desires to experience the passion of
love at it's fullest perfection must not
be too yonng.@It-is as inconsistent to
seek for the constant and devoted
heart beneath the striped flannels OF
an undergraduate as to look for it
within the bodice of a raw school girl,
who may fall down and worship the
first man that crosses her path. In
order to fall in love vigorously and
satisfactorily man must have arrived
at the age of reason. He must have
outlived, that is to say, all that went to
make him hare-brained, impetuous or
incapable Of gauging the strengthen
his emotions while at the same time
he must not have entered that barren
and desolate region which is strewn
with dead illusions and shattered idols.
He must have come to know, of course,
that ''all is not gold that glitters,"
while retaining his appreciation, of the
precious metal when it is pure and un.
alleged. The sensation of heart
hunger which comes TO most men at
some period of their lives must not
have been succeeded by that Of either
repletion or safety, and he should still
be a believer in true and disinterested
affection, while admitting and deplor.

!. Cold bathing in the early morning is
beneficial only to those who have suf-

the practice.
Persons who have an abundance of
flesh and blood, who are sluggish In
temperament, and whose nervous force
Is not depleted, can take the cold MORN
ing bath to advantage. Others who are
inclined to. be thin in flesh, whose
hands and feet become cold and clammv
on slight provocation, who digest food
slowly and assimilate ii with difficulty.
who are nervous and who carry large
mental burdens should avoid early
morning bathing. For all such the
bath at MONDAY or before retiring at
night is far more desirable, and itshould
be followed by rest of body and brain
till equable conditions Of circulation
are re-established.
Some individuals who are weak in

A. Japanese Hygienic bath,

In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere a habit which may
have lesson for US. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always hot
as it can be borne. To foreigners this
habit seems very surprising, but the
most inveterate Englishman, if he stays
in the country long enough, abandons
his cold tub in its favor. The cold
taken which it is suspected must follow
it is not found to occur If the water is
hot enough. This heat is maintained
by little furnace beneath the bath In
the bath the bather or bathers take a
prolonged soaking, the washing proper
being done ON the bathroom floor; then
follows second and final soaking, dry
ing withtowel and a lounge in bathing
wrapper. This habit seems to promote
softness and suppleness Of the skin,
and by persons inclined to rheumatism
is soon found to be altogether prefer
able to the cold bath in every particu.
lar. The poorest Of the Japanese hear
of cold bath in amazement and would
be sure the man who used it must be o
barbarian. Rural Collaboration.
