There are as many great baths IN Lon.
don as there are theatres in New York
city. They are Turkish, Roman, vapor,
electric, swimming, medicated, hot, cold
tepid and salt The most interesting are
the great public baths Nearly every
district Of London has one, and often
there are public wash houses in connec-
ton with them. Some Of the older Of
these baths are dark and more or less
gloomy, but the newer ones are very in
viting, Take the Battersea public bath
as an example. Its first class tank is 100
feet long by 35 feet wide, with depth
Of 6 feet ut one end and 81 feet at the
other. 1t is lined with white glazed
bricks, rooted with wood and iron and
ventilating skylights, and has fifty locked
dressing boxes. In the same building
there is q second class bath, rs feet by 25
feet in size. At certain times women
use both baths. The water is heated
when it is desirable. These baths are
distinctly popular The first class price
varies from a shilling to fourpence, and
the second class from sixpence TO two
pence, the cheaper baths being those in
the more thickly populated parts Of the
city. The wash houses connected with
many Of the baths seem to be Of very
great public benefit Julian Ralph in

For several months a Brooklyn man
has been terrified by the size Of his gas
bills. He is a family man and enjoys a
good income, but he does not tamely
submit TO swindling and extortion Be.
lieving he was being robbed he com
planned to the company which supplies
him, but it availed him nothing.
Still the bills were presented with un-
varying regularity, and as the days
shortened and the nights lengtheRed
they became larger. Finally he grew
desperate, but was still powerless, At
last he found an unexpected ray Of
hope. 1t came in the shape Of this ad-
vertisement in newspaper, printed in
big type:
Reduce your gas bills over 70 per
cent. Secret free by mail for only &C.
Address -, Cincinnati, o."
Eagerly the oppressed citizen sent on
his money and anxiously he awaited the
receipt Of the secret which he felt would
be the means Of keeping hundreds Of
dollars in his pockets. In afew days the
secret came. With trembling hands he
tore open the envelope and extracted
card. On this he saw in big, black
