sort of bath has a wholesome effect ON chill

Tight Belts Unhealthy For Men.

pender business does not know what harm
he Is doing to himself. A doctor told me
yesterday that the wearing Of Z tight belt
by a man, especially a stout man, Is most
injurious to health. It stops the circula-

asked why it should be 30 much more in

Facts About Caves.

Caves have In all ages OF the world ex-
cited the awe and admiration Of mankind
and have been the centers around which
cluster many queer legends and supersti-
tions. They were the abodes OF the sibyls
and the nymphs of Roman mythology, and
In Greece they were the early temples OF
Pan, Bacchus, Pluto and the moon. They
were also the places where famous oracles
were delivered.
Their names not u~nfrequently show the
survival of some superstitious ideas of the
earlier world, for example, the "Fairy's,"
dragons" mt DEVILS" cave, which are
so numerous all over the world. Cave su-
perstition remained longer In Germany
than any other country, ind the Little

habit the forests, are In some Rhenish To-
calities still believed to exist In the form Of

The English Do Not Read Tennyson


So says W. 7. Stead in The Review of
Reviews. The laureate was not popu-
lar poet at home, not even well known,
and he never will be while the present
copyright on his books lasts Everybody
knows Tennyson in America. He is con-
siderably more familiar to the popular
mind than Emerson or William Cullen
Bryant. The reason is simply com
mercial one, in Steads view. Here there
was no copyright on his poems, and the
price was within reach of everybody.
In England, although he made more
money out of poetry than any other writ
er ever did, yet he or his publishers kept
the price of his works at such figure
that only the aristocracy and the rich
middle class could afford to buy them.
1.-THE English nation lives in the cot
tage," John Bright said long ago, and
tho cottager cannot buy gilt edged poet
~. In illustration of this. Stead tells us
that he himself was the son of a noncon-
formist minister, and therefore his fam
lily WIS rather above poor people in means
and standing: but Stead the preacher
received only $500 a year. He saved
shilling now and then and made addi-
lions to his scant library when he could,
but those additions never included Ten
nyson. The poems Of the laureate Of
England were too dear for English peo-
pie to buy. Stead was man grown be,
fore he owned a Tennyson, and for THU
reason he thinks he has never fully all
preciated the poet.

The whole answer to the question, Is
the health of the average young woman
equal to the successful prosecution of
the work of a college course? may be
given in the briefest terms as follows:
The first duty of the college authorities
is to give just as careful physical ex-
animation for original entrance as their
examination into the applicants scholar
ly proficiency, and their next duty. the
applicant having been admitted, is to see
that her advancement is symmetrical,
and that she is led across the threshold
of mature womanhood as well equipped
by reason of bodily strength and devel-
opment as by that of intellectual and
moral development for the full enjoy
ment of life's pleasures. tasks and vari-
Gus wholesome activities.
In the future the question whether or
not young woman's health is quite
safe at college will be absurd upon its
face. 1t will be absurd because one OF
the definitions of woman'a college will
be: A place where The health of young
women is sgdl iorsiy and scientifically
guarded, and where Ter physic;.l strength
and well beng are systematically i.evel-
oped. Tangible progress tOwlrl TIL 5
