hot baths from the Japanese, but be-

ble Mrs Langtry did much to start ac-
tresses on a course of hot baths, for TO
them she attributed (and attributes)
her success in preserving her looks.
Such bath as this, with plenty Of
soap and a bath brush, taken every
other DAY, leaves one free to take cold
plunge on the day between with good
conscience. That is the greatest safe
guard against colds and pneumonia in

cate the plunge can be exchanged for a
quick cold sponge, but generally tie
plunge is the less shock of the two.
Again, any approach to the tepid con-
ditiOn makes the bath very chilling,
very trying. The water should be

and nothing more, in the tub. Neces-

quaint epitaph from Welch grave

departed matchmaker and written on

Here lies, in horizontal position,

matchmaker. whose abilities in that
line we're an honor to his professl on.
Integrity was the handspring and pru-
dence the regulator Of all the actions
Of his life. Humane, honest, and In
dustrious, his hands never stopped until
he had relieved distresses. He had the
art of disposing Of his time in such a
way that he never went wrong, except
when set going by persons who did not
know his key, and even then was easily
set right again. He departed this life

great men, any One.OI whom wa- and ],
an honor 10 the state. nd Of whom
our people have been ard still are ju.tly
proud but II is no disparaeement tc
those to say that Zebulon Baird Vance
was the Mount Mitchell Of all our great
men, and that in the affections and love
Of the people he lowered above them
all. As ages TO come will not be able
to mar the grandeur and greatness OF
Mount Mitchell 30 they will not lie able
to efface from the hearts and minds Of
the people the name and memory Of
their beloved Vance.
In the day. Of his tolls and labor-
when fatigue and weariness came upon
him. he was fond Of retiring 10 his ma
tive mountains, and there beneath their
shadows. he found rest and restoration.
When his life-work was done it was
meet and proper that his body should
be laid to rest at the feet Of these same
mountains. Shall his body again be
restored Is death an eternal sleep, or
is it rest to the body. which in God 5
own appointed time shall come forth
again restored and reunited with the
immortal soul?
This man was not too great to accept
the teachings Of the Christian religion.
He believed in the Immortality of the
soul and the resurrection of the body.
He was a great student of the Bible,
and but few were more conversant with
the Scriptures than was he. He obeyed
its precepts and seized upon. its prom
ises. 1t was in this faith that he passed
from time to eternity And oh, Mr..
President, what a comfort it is to know
that our friends die in such a faith
How insignificant human greatness
becomes In the presence OF death or
any great manifestations of divine
power.
Man. isolated and alone is but a tiny
atom in the created universe In the
busy hustle Of life, with his friends and
fellows shouting his praise, man feels
his importance and his power; but let
him stand out alone in the dread dark
ness of night when the heavens are
black and angry, or when the earth
quakes and trembles, and then how
utterly helpless and dependent he be-
comes. Tt is in such times as these. as
we'll as III the still more trying ordeal
when he enters alone, as he must Go,
the dark valley and shadow of death,
that man is ready to acknowledge his
and to cry out to an invis-
lble power for help.
Oh. what blessing it is in an hour
like that to feel that He who created
the worlds and controls all the forces OF
nature has us in His keeping, and, like
a loving father, doth care for us and
guide Us. Our dead friend had that
blessing. While in the sunshine and
vigor of life he complied with tire con-
ditions set out in the Bible upon which
he could have the love and companion
ship of his Heavenly Father when the
storm came and death claimed him as
his own Shall we see him again?
May God, in His infinite mercy, receive
us with him into His Kingdom above.

He has gone. His massive and ma
iestic form, his full, flowing white locks,
his playful, twinkling eye, his calm
homeIike face, his lndescribable voice
have left US forever. He still lives in
our hearts The great Mlrabeau in his
diving moments asked for music and for
flowers. and for perfumes to cheer and
brighten his mortal eclipse.
Vance died blessed with the fragrance
of sweetest affections, consecrated by
the holiest love, embalmed in the tears
and sorrows of noble people. The last
sounds that struck his ear were the
echoes OF their applauses and gratitude,
and his eyes closed with the light of
Christian promise beaming upon his
soul.
On the night of the 10th OF April
last we took his casket from these walls.
We bore it across the Potomac--through
the bosom of Virginia, close by the
grave of Washington, almost in sight
tOnbs of jefferson and Madison, over
the James. over the North and the
South Roanoke, over the unknown
border line of the sister States-to the
sad heart of his mother State. The
night was beautiful. The white stars
shed their hallowed radiance upon
earth and sky. The serenity was lovely
The whole heavens almost seemed a
happy reunion of the consultations.

We carried MIN to the State House
in Raleigh, the scene OF his greatest
trials and grandest triumphs the heart
of the State melted over her dead son.
Her brightest jewel had been taken
away We left Raleigh in the evening,
and passing over the Neuse, over the
Yadkin, over the Catawba, up to the
summit of the Blue Ridge, We placed
the urn with its noble dust on the brow
of his own mountain, the mountain he
loved so we'll. There he sleeps in peace
and honor. On that exalted spot the
willow and the cypress, emblems Of
sorrow and mourning, cannot grow, but
the bay and the laurel, the trees of
fame, will there flourish and bloom IN
perpetual beauty and glory. There
will his great spirit like an eternal SEN
tinel Of liberty and truth keep watch
over his people.
Senators, l feel how unable / have

would have been one of the supreme
Joys of my life to have done justice to
the life and character of this great and
good man to have enshrlned his mem

whatever may have been the faults OF
these words, I have spoken from heart
full of sorrow for his death, and throb-

The death of State Senator John W..
Watts, of Jackson. had the effect Of de-
laying legislation Monday. The House
met at O'Clock In the afternoon, and
after a brief session adjourned until
Tuesday out of respect to the dead Sem
ator. The Senate took similar action.
Representative Chamberlain introduced
two joint resolutions, submitting impor-
tant constitutional amendments. One
provides for increasing the terms OF Of
fee from two to four years, half the
members to be elected every two years.
The other provides for the payment Of
the salaries of members by the legisla-
tive term and not by the day.
The bill abolishing the present Board
of Health of Detroit, which 1t Is charged
Is a political machine of the Mayors,
came up in the Senate Tuesday after
noon. Senator Smalley, of Detroit, NOV
ed to amend the bill SO as to place the
appointment of the health board In the
hands of the Mayor instead of resting 1t
in the Governor. He cast the one vote in
its favor. The rest Of the Senators were
against the Mayor. Very little imper-
tant business was considered by the
House.
On account of the funeral of Senator
Watts, at Jackson, the Michigan Legis-
lature transacted very little business
Wednesday. The Senate did not convene
at all, and the House adjourned after q
brief session. The only thing Of note
worthy occurrence was the introduction
by Representative Wiidey of bill to
create the Office of tax statistician In this
State. The duty of the tax statistician
will be to collect and compile statistics
relative to taxation and to present such
figures in an ineligible form to the pub
lie.
The bill to abolish the Detroit Board
of Health came up Thursday on its final
passage in the Senate. 1t was expected
that not more than one or two votes
would be recorded against II, and that the
eccentric Mayor would be badly downed.
When the roll was called, however, only
twenty-five Senators answered TO their
names. Six Senators voted against the
bill, leaving but sixteen affirmative votes
recorded The number of votes neces-
sary to the passage of the bill was sew
enteen. The vote was, however, recon
sidered and the bill laid on the table. The
bill to provide for a general registration

The friends of tie Detroit Health Board
bill turned the tables on their opponents
Friday. Taking advantage of the abb
sence of two Senators, one of whom voted
against the bill while the other refrained
from voting at all, the measure was
passed by vote of % to 2 and given i'm
mediate effect. 1t will now go to the
