it to them where nature intended they
should get it. And don't get soft:

only spoilS them. Lay it on to them
with a will. so that whenever they
are attempted to do wrong they will
stop and think of the punishment they
received :"

In Sight.

Mr.. Glyn of the Liverpool dock board
predicts that 1t will not be many years
till steamers 1000 feet long will cross
the Atlantic In S1S days
1t Is almost certain to be so. But
meantime still greater changes await us
on land. Land locomotion by steam has
probably nearly reached its limit. To
increase the speed of a train the size.
weight and carrying capacity Of an en-
CINE aud tender must be increased. The
added weight takes constantly from the
increase of speed. The electrical car is
the light little device that will replace
the huge railway trains propelled by
steam. With the electric car there is
no limit to speed except the safety OF
the passengers. 1t could travel 1000
miles an hour as easily as 90 If material
could be found to build q car strong
enough to stand the strain Of such tre-
mendous speed.
1t is almost safe to say, however, that
the close Of this century will see cleo
trical cars travelling regularly 100
miles an hour. With that speed it will
be as easy to go from ST. Louis to Oma-
ha or st. Paul as it now is to ride from
the heart of city to a suburban town.
Railway engines will be abolished. So
will sleeping oars and dining cars ex-
cept for long distances Long, heavy
trains will be done away. So will time
tables. Passengers going from Chi
cago to Cincinnati will simply step
upon light, swift car at any hour Of
the day and be whirled to their destina-
tion before they have time to even yawn
in their seats. We shall travel from
New Orleans to San Francisco is less

steaming College Boys.

Many reader has made merry over
the story of steam and sweat baths the
Indians of this country used to prepare
by plunging redhot stones into a vessel
OF water and placing it beneath pa
tient, who wrapped In blanket, was
sweated half to death before he was re-
leased. Yet tho learned physicians of
the world are just now discovering that
nothing is so ef1cacious ON general prin-
ciples for every body as the steam sweat
bath. prepared In a manner very little
different from tho red mans way. The
pores of civilized man 8 skin are chooked
up by lint from his clothing as we'll as
by the dead scales.
The steam sweat bath apparatus is
merely box large enough for the bather
to sit in comfortably with his head stick
ing out. Underneath him is pan of
boiling water, kept hot by gas jet or
spirit or oil lamp. In this box, shut
tight for 10 minutes to half an hour, the
bather remains. At the end Of that time
streaming with perspiration, he plunges
into bath tub Of cold water He does
not stay there minute, but jumps out
and rubs himself briskly off. No matter
how tired he was before, he feels like q
new man.
The steam bath Is an essential part Of
athletic training among football and
other teams of England. Last year it
was introduced into the Pennsylvania
university by Professor Bryan, who
trained the athletic boys. The result
was the Pennsylvania students gained
sweeping athletic victories on many
fields. 1t was said that one could tell
the minute he laid eyes on the sweat
bath man the difference between him
and men not thus treated. The bath
looses and dislodges the scurf skin and
let's the true skin underneath shine out
warm, pink and bright. There was q
deadness in the skin. lack luster In the
eye of the students not subjected to the
vapor treatment that showed them to be
out of condition compared with the
Pennsylvania boys.
The Indians were right. after all

Why did the terrible explosion In
Butte, Mon, occur? Because dynamite
and gunpowder in large quantities had
been stored in the most thickly settled
part of the city. If there is no law in
Butte to punish those who stored 1t, then
one ought to be made at once to punish
the next man guilty Of such criminal
recklessness.
