Cleanliness.

Among the cardinal virtues cleanliness is placed
next to goodness; the ancients early discovered
that a sound mind could not be expected in an I'M
healthy body, and without cleanliness there can
not long be maintained a healthy body Accord
ing to the Popular Science Monthly each square
inch of skin contains $500 sweating tubes or
respiratory pores, each of which may be likened
to a little drainpipe one-fOurth of an inch long,
making an aggregate length of the entire surface
of the body of POI, JOG feet or tile ditch for
draining the body almost forty miles long" Did
the omnipOtent wisdom put such drainage power
into mans body if he did not deem it necessary?
How shall the daily toiler for ten hours with but
one bath week keep such machinery in work
ing order? AS long as water and a sponge, or
even coarse rag, is not denied it can be done.
Dip the sponge or rag in water and wipe the skin
thoroughly and swiftly, then dry, rubbing brisk
ly. To prevent a scanty water supply from dry
ing in before the rubbing process, it is advisable
to take the body in'installments head face and
neck, neck to waist, and waist down; it can all
be done within five minutes. This simple course,
daily pursued, will keep the skin soft, supple
and healthy and add very materially to general
comfort.

Her Dead Bow.
SUNOL.

She was little and fuSSy and old. The thin row
of cOrkscrew curls which struggled along the rim
of her Sunday bonnet had been fattened close to
the wrinkled forehead by a faded blue veil. in
one hand she carried a black-bOrdered handker-
chief which she occasionally dabbed nervOusly
into her eyes.
1t was a little past noon the other day when
she walked mincingly into the Union depot, On
reaching the lower floor she paused undecidedly
"a thin wavering figure in black. amidst the hOl-
iday travellers.
Twill you, sir, kindly tell me where the bag
gage room is?'' she asked, timidly, of depot
usher.
"Yes, madam, down to the right was the
CHEEKY response.
The fussy little woman dabbed her handker-
chief under the old blue veil and pushed through
the crowd that had gathered in front of the bag
gageman'S window.
HAS my boy come yet?'' she asked falter-
ingly.
Don't know-ask the passenger agent" was
the grutf answer.
But they said he'd be here" she insisted
timidly.
"Where from?"
"Why, you see, he was up in Minneapolis
mean Aleck, my boy-he was such good-heart-

chief went hastily under the faded blue veil.
"Well, wel'' said the busy baggageman.

A cry of pain broke from the fussy little wOnl-

"Well, there's one here from Minneapolis, -

"Yes. yes it must be my boy
"Have you the certitcate?"
"Certiticate?" she asked. Must l have a
certificate to get my own boy-my Aeck?"
Then the baggageman explained that he could
not deliver the body without proper authority.
Through some mistake the fussy little woman
had Mt received the certificate. She gazed at
the long white box until her vision was bleared
by the tears on the faded blue veil. Then the
wrinkled hands, with their crooked, toil-marked
fingers casped cOnvulSively for moment. The
gruff baggageman drew his sleeve over his eyes
and the fussy little woman YEARLY climbed the
station steps. The holiday gangs dashed by

Big Meal for a Python.

In the geological gardens at Breslau
recently a South American boa con-
strictOr cOntended for rabbit with a
large python from West Africa. 1t did
not succeed, however, the python being
the stronger of the two, and it withdrew.
About two hours later the keeper found
the same snakes fighting for another
rabbit. AS the keeper supposed that
the boa, which was the weaker of the
two, would again give up it's prey, he
left them to themselves and went home.
The next morning he was horror strick-
en- to find that the unfortunate boa had
not let go it's hold and had been swal-
lowed by the python as pendant to
the rabbit. The boa was nearly seven
feet long and correSpOndingly thick.
The python had already swallowed one
rabbit before the one which proved ia
tai to the boa. Its circumference
throughout its length was from twenty
three to twenty-eight inches, and it's
skin was expanded to double its usual
size. The supposition that the snake
might, perhaps, not be able to digest
the boa proved false. Digestion only
proceeded somewhat more slowly than
usual.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The New York World proposes an
income tax of one per cent. on incomes
of $4,000, two per cent. on incomes of
$4,000 and so on up to 100000 incomes,
charging them ten per cent; but goes
no further in it's progression. About
the only objection advanced against
this method of taxation is the difficulty
of collection or of obtaining correct re-
turns. What sad commentary on the
loose, corrupt, or cowardly methods of
enforcing existing laws.

The Hawaiian Cable.

1t is fortunate chance that
brings this project so near success
just as this time. In the present
critical state of Hawaiian politics
it is of the last Importance that
American interests in the islands
should be kept at the front. The
country that is directly connected
with Hawaii by cable becomes at
once her nearest neighbor. This is
we'll understood at Vancouver, and
if we should delay much longer in
opening telegraphic communica-
ton with the islands our northern
neighbors would certainly relieve
US of the trouble.
When the stretch of cable be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu
is once laid we shall have breath
ing time in extending the work. 1t
is on that one line that we are in
danger from rivals. Everything
that is done beyond that will neces-
sarily contribute to our advantage.
Nobody will lay a cable direct
from Auckland or Yokohama to
Vancouver, paralleling the piece
from here to Honolulu. Those ex-
tensions will necessarily be attach
ed to our line, and we shall get the
benefit of them.
From the very start the cable
will help the commerce of San
Francisco. That fraction of the
Hawaiian trade that we do not
already possess We shall be likely
to get. A merchant who can order
goods by telegraph and have them
delivered in a week is not likely to
send around the world to have
them brought in four months. The
cable will be a magnet, attracting
trade to San Francisco from all the
regions it serves.-[S. F. Examiner.

A QUESTION
OF HEALTH

BY last steamer our
stock of DR.. Jaeger's I'm
derwear for men has been
replenished.
We are now prepared to
fit any one be he a dude
or heavyweight.
You've been suffering
long enough from that
horrid cold; you've spent
a small fortune for
patent medicines and
doctors advice for that
chronic rheumatism. Let
us prescribe for you,
we know what ails
you. You're wearing un-
derwear of dead vegetable
fiber, no wonder you're
sick.
Let US advise you to
make a change. You
should wear under gar
ments of pure animal wool.
Nature so intended it, but
you've been running con-
trary to nature until at
last, she has broken down.
Do you wonder at it? Let
us tell you something:
Animal wool is the mate
rial devised by nature for
animal covering and pos
sesses, as the simplest
experiments will prove the
valuable quality of not
attracting or retaining the
noxious mal-odorous mat
ters, which the animal
body exhales. Moreover
being a slow conductor of
heat animal wool does not
chill even when damp.
Some friend will perhaps
tell you that WOODEN under
clothing is too hot for this
climate. Don't be misled.
That all-wool clothing
protects the body from
chill is Ineligible to every
one, but it is a common
error to suppose that such
clothing is hot in summer.
Heat is felt to be oppressive
when the natural action
of the pores is hampered
and the exhalation cannot
escape.
If the covering is imper-
viOus there is a strong
desire to throw everything
off from the stif1ed skin;
but the wearer of porous
WOODEN covering through
which the skin can breathe
is no more oppressed by it
than is a cricketer by his
hannels, which every
athlete knows to be the
coolest, safest, most COM
Portable wear for violent
exercise in hot weather.
Ifyou value your health,
don't delay, but encase
your body in garments of
pure animal wool as made
by DR.. Jaeger, and for
