FROM Demorests Magazine.
As We all well know, decorous Britishers
of both sexes refuse to frolic in the dig sea
informally and in joviai fellowship, as do
the unconventional American "bretheren
and sisteren." Mr.. and Hrs. John Bull or
the Misses Bull have little movable rooms,
inside OF which are the conveniences We
enjoy in our seaside bath houses. The
rooms are on wheels. Enter Mrs. John
Bun with a bathing suit and number of
towels on her arm; a little pony Is hitched,
by primitive harness, to the room, and
when Mrs. j. b. gives a sign at the window
of her queer little house the pony is driven
down to the beach. even out into the water
as fa- as he can so, is unhitched, and
trotted back to the shore. Out. then, by
the back door of her little room. comes
Mrs. John Bull. arrayed for the sea. into
which she hops, and SO long as she wishes.
enjoys a dip. The bath over. she enters
her wheeled room, the pony is sent down
and hitched on, and the protean mermaid
inside is brought back to terra firma. When
the public see her again she is clothed in
the common garb of civilization.
Now this whole idea SO pleased a friend
of the Van kortlandts, who went abroad
for the first time last summer, that on
settling down in her Long Island home she
quite made up her mind to have a bathing
machine like those at Brighton. She had
little gable-roofed box built about five by
five feet, and at least eight feet from floor
to roof. Outside It's painted a clear sea
green. and IL is swung on two big black
wheels. There is window in the roof.
and door and pair of steps at the back.
Inside. madame's imagination has worked
wonders that would make Mrs. John Bull
turn green with envy. The interior is all
done in snow white enamel paint and one
half of the floor is pierced with many holes
to allow of free drainage from wet fiannels.
The other half of the little room is covered
with pretty green japanese rug. In one
corner is a big-mouthed green silk bag
lined with rubber. Into this the wet bath
ing toys are tossed out of the way. There
are large bevel edged mirrors let into either
side of the room, and below one juts out
a toilet Shelf on which is every appliance.
There are pegs for towels and the bath
robe, and fixed IN one corner is a little
square seat that when turned up reveals a
locker where clean towels. soap, perfumery,
/ &c, are stoweu. RufIies of white muslin
! trimmed with lace and narrow green rib
bons decorate every available space. When
! the mistress steps out of this bathing ma
! chine her maid dries and airs it, then tits
securely locked and wheeled high and dry
/ up behind the humble bath house of ye
vulgar American.

lieved that quorum in committee should
be the same as that in the House. The
great business bills were considered in COM
mittee of the whole and every member
should be present. This clause had been an
innovation OF the Fifty-first Congress and
the people had spoken out against il. He
believed it to be fraught with danger TO
the country
MIR. Cultivate (Ohio) opposed the amend
ment and argued that the adoption of the
clause as 1t stood would facilitate the trans
action of public business. He did not think
that the making of 100 members a quorum
would result in absenteeism. Members
would come here If they had proper inter-
est in business whether the quorum was
100 or 150
The discussion on this amendment con-
tinued without interest except a passage
at arms between Messrs. Catchings and
McMillin. The House agreed to adjourn
until next Wednesday.
Legal Holiday.
The House at 3:25 adopted the resolution
making Monday. the Sth of September, the
day of the centennial celebration of the
laying of the corner stone of the Capitol,

some familiar tune on the piano. There

The little toe Is disappearing from the

average size of the toe has decreased so
much that instead of three joints it has
most frequently only two, and that in ad-
