''One of the pleasantest recollections
] have to look back on, /" said Adam
johnson, lis the fact that was one Of
the party that helped to run up the
American colors over Cleopatra's needle
when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
ont in the Mediterranean with a rowing
oOmmifsion, and we were at Alexandria
at the time the obelisk was being mov-
ed The big stone had been presented by
the Egyptian government to this coun-
Try, but the people were wild about hav-
ing It moved. We had to place guard
around the men who were working on
the shaft, and even then there was al
most . riot
but that was one Of the prettiest
pieces of engineering work have ever
sen. The engineers who were moving
our shaft had q couple Of big wooden
Oasee built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the lead
in . pencil There were q couple Of pro-
jectiles ON each side Of the castings just
an the center of gravity in the shaft,
like the trunnions ON a cannon. Under
these they put lifting jacks and just
picked that immense stone on Its
pedestal, swung il around horizontal
and then lowered it as gently as could
be on long sliding way. with cannon
balls under il for rollers. They had a
SQUARE hole cut in the stern Of the
steamship and slid it into the hull
through that ard replaced the sheathing
outside
.'Under the shaft in the inside of the
pedestal there were lot of bronze toads
and ornaments cnd the Lord knows what
not that the Masons claimed were placed
there by some of their progenitors cons
ago. l don't k-Uw anything about that,
though, and you can leave it or take it,
as you choose.
''The British were not half SO slick
with the obelisk they carried over to
England. They cased it up in big
sheet iron Arrangement like boiler, riT-
eted it in and floated the whole thing
of through trench dug in the sand
down to the water. Then they rigged
Jury sails on it and towed it over to
England, but they lost three or four
men off it before they got it in port and
had all sorts of a time generally.

English Churchyards and Their Deepl,
81. Gruven Accusations Of Murder.

Enslish Churchyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.
In the churchvards Of Britain several
tombstones exist with the accusations
of murder deeply engraved upon them.
A stone over the grave of three children
in Merrington (Durham) churchyard
bears the following inscription:
Sleeping we were slain.
And here sleep till we must rise again.
In Sandridge churchyard, Surrey, on
the tombstone Of custom house officer
who was shot in an encounter with
smugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal
Are the commands Jehovah did reveal.
But thou. o wretch, without fear or dread
OF thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
On. stone in Cadoxton churchyard,
Glamorganshire, is inscribed the most
fearful accusation of murder to be found
on any tomb in Great Britain:
ITO RECORD MURDER
tsrhis stone was erected over the body
ef Margaret Williams, aged 26, living
in service in this parish, who was found
dead with marks Of violence upon her
in q ditch Oh a marsh below this church
yard ON the morning Of Sunday, the
14th July, 1882.

DOOM OF THE BATH TUB.
Addition of the Future Will BE by Rain
and Shower Rath


The dwelling house of the future,
constructed on scientific and hygienic
principles, will be bathtubless The
porcelain-lined and zinc-lined and tin
lined tubs of to-day will be unknown.
Their place will be taken by tiled
room, in which will be arranged show
er or rain baths at various angles.
These douches will supply hot, cold or
tepid water at the pleasure of the bath
er, and the liquid will be carried off as
fast as it is used by a spacious drain
pipe. The idea is not a new one, but
it is good one, and wherever it has
been adopted the result has been graft
flying. There are three houses in Lon
don, recently completed, supplied with
this method of bathing, and there is
said to be one in Philadelphia.
1t is claimed for the rain bath that it
is in every way superior to the method
we have known since civilization be-
gan, aud this has been proven in many
public institutions. The first one ever
built in America was put in the New
1Orh Juvenile asylum ne DemllJ
dispensary has them, and so has the
bathing establishment erected by the
Baron Hirsch fund at Henry and Mar
ket streets. One of the largest rain
baths in the country is now in course
of construction in the state hospital
for the insane, at Utica, and it is pre-
dicted that within a very few years all
prisons and hospitals will have adopted
the system.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the rain bath is William Paul Gerhard,
who has made study of its advan-
tages. In the first place, he says that
it requires less space in the planning
of bathhouse, it consumes less time
in application, the body of the bather
does not come in contact with soiled
water, the mechanical and tonic effect
Of the descending stream is unques
tionable, the cleansing and stimulating
effects are greater than in bathtub,
less water is required and no time is
lost in waiting for the filing of tub
in houses where the supply is slow

The two went out of the club to-

On the way little was said. just at

Then they parted.
They met again-on the following

A modest Spectator, residing not far
from the busy haunts of men in the
city of Detroit was making few cal

when solemn visaged man came in.
Good morning observed the spec

How about your knee?" inquired he

Sit as fiddle now" replied the
latter. He stretched out his leg and
tapped his hee. against the floor and
patted the knee with satisfaction. He

fore. His eyes met the gaze of the
nearest ones. He smiled
"Tony," he said, indicating Metcalfe
by the sweep of the cigarette. "Tony's
a decent chap. Gave up his place be.
cause he knew I was keen on the
match. Decent of him, isn't it?"
Metcalfe laughed big, light-hearted
laugh The man with the near-set eyes
knew no more was to be said But he
looked again at the Canary" and the
Canary" smiled more placidly than
ever He talked all the way down to
Woolrich like the amiable, chirpy, bird
being he was.
1t was cold as Metcalfe said at Wool
rich, and there was bit of driving
wind, which the Canary" said might
bother the home team, whereat he
laughed.
The Old Harrovians won the toss and
kicked off. The r. M. A. played up as
they knew how, but they were long
way behind the Harrovians, and when
after half-time they succeed in getting
goal they thought themselves, Ger
tainly the on-lookers thought them,
rarely lucky. The third goal was
longer in coming. The game fuctuated a
lot. Each side had to touch down. The
passing of the Harrovian backs was too
much in the long run for the r. A. for
wards.
The Canary" never played better.
THAT chaps FORM" said Metcalfe,
lis SO jolly fine his size don't matter a
brass pin. He'll get this goal. l say,
look, he's off for the line"
So he was. Metcalfe and everyone
else strained their eyes to watch The
Woolwich lads gathered up CALAMITY
for last struggle.
"But those Woolwich Johnnies are
not in it," said Metcalfe, laughing.
Look at Mountaineering already.

head. He rammed it on again 81 say,
what's up?'
The man beside him didn't answer.
He was watching the struggling knot
of white legs and dark feet in the dis
tance. 1t seemed to him that the knot
was opening-yes so it was-and the
R NJ. A. forwards were getting away.
Suddenly there was cry. The for
wards turned back, arrested in full

Metcalfe took one more look, so did
the other.
Come on" cried Metcalfe; "he's not
getting up-his knee again, you bet"
The two raR straight across the

WHAT CONSTITUTES "srYLE."
Why Would Woman Prefer Being stylish
to Pretty?


Just what constitutes the most desin
able quality of style is very hard to d..
termine. Whether it is Unborn only. or
whether it may be acquired, is a very
important question, as it is possession
that many women deem of greater i'm.
portance than beauty itself. Ask any
average woman whether she would
rather be pretty or stylish" and she
will choose the latter qualification al.
most invariably. 1t is the intangible
something that gives grace and dis
tinction whereby the wearer of a cot.
ton froell may look better dressed than
the woman clothed in silk and velvet,
and, if in rich attire, will outshine all
rivals.
English women do not often have
style Il would like to show you
the gowns l am sending to England
for the season." said Nj. Worth to an
American customer, as he threw open
the door of his own special atelier,
where dozen or more of the most SUI
perb dresses were carefully displayed
on wire forms for the last critical
survey of the artist. and for private
view to few privileged clients. you
would never know them again." he
continued ruefully. my dear coun-
trywomen lack style awfully, and
have not half dozen customers in
London that can trust to do my
gowns justice"
To come back to the question as to
whether or not style can be acquired,
it may be said that in certain meas
ure it may be. Carriage, for instance,
has an immense effect on style, and
that certainly can be cultivated. A
dowdy woman rarely has good poise
of the head and neck, and never walks
grace fully, and although grace and
style are not at all synonymous, it is
impossible to have the one without a
certain amount of the other, says a
write in the New York Tribune As
grace or carriage is successfully taught
by those who understand the principle,
no doubt style also might be analysed,
and growing girls instructed in the
why and the wherefore of this
most coveted characteristic Toledo
