rak,nr a bath without rowolA

Many people will be surprised to
hear that a great number of our pro-
fessional athletes look upon cold
bath, without the aid of towels, as
their principal aid to health. The
method is to take q cold sponge bath
every morning immediately upon
rising and then, while dripping wet,
to draw ON ones flannel singlet
and pants. The bather then starts
walking up and down his bedroom at
smart pace. He is soon bathed in q
delicious perspiration, and in about
five minutes finds himself deliciOusly
fresh and as dry as the proverbtal
bone. His underclothing is perfectly
dry rs we'll, and he can finish dressing
at his leisure. Cinquevalli, the Jug
Rler, equilibrist and athlete, sscribes
his years of unvarying heSlth and his
muscles of iron to this method Of
bathing without towels.

A we'll bred man puts his hand over
his mouth when he yawns, but not
one well-bred man in ten thousand
knows why. The reason is this: -Four
or five hundred years ago there was
q superstition common in Europe that
the devil was always lying in wait to
enter a mans body and take posses
sion of him. Satan generally went In
by the mouth, but when he had waited
a reasonable time and the man did
not open his mouth the devil made
him yawn, and while his mouth was
open jumped down his throat So
many cases of this kind occurred that
the people learned TO make the sign
of the cross over their mouths whom
ever they yawned In order to scare
away the devil. The peasantry in
Italy and Spain still adhere TO this
method, but most other people have
dispensed with the cross sign and
keep out the devil by simply placing
the hand before the lips II is most
remarkable survival Of practice after
the significance has perished.

HOTEL GUESTS.

Women who Will Have What They Want
and Men Who Won't Register.
The average guest at a frst-class
hotel puts his fist on the register and
takes what the lord of the rooms gives
him meekly and uncomplainingly.
There are rooms and rooms, just as
there are hotels and hotels; and when
the hotels are crowded it takes an ex-
perienced and determined man to get
the best-or woman. No hotel clerk
has ever stood up before the onslaught
of lovely female bent on having a
front room lighted on two sides and
not higher than the third story. But
there is another class of the dwellers
in tents-the men who never register.
Every hotel has them, and Washington
hotels more than any other city. There
il means the game of politics The
man who wants an Office, and Is afraid
his rivals are going to put up combina-
tions against him. will slip into his
hotel and tell the clerk that he does
not want TO be seen or put on the book,
and the clerk tells him that it il all
right. In some cases such actions
would be rightly regarded as suspi-
cious, but not in Washington. The
leading hotels will average two day
during the first year of a new admins
tration; after that they drop off to two

Almost all the molasses which comes
