We made our host understand what we
wanted. and soon all hands were busy
bringing wooden pals Of water into the
yard. We noticed that with each pail
arrived half dozen Notwithstanding
natives. who had evidently scented some
novelty in the air
At last the water was ready. and we
were told that We could have our bath.
But what about all these people" we
asked. pointing 10 the crowd Of women
and children assembled I'm the yard. "Oh.

OF such base conduct. and / reminded
him OF the story in the Pink Wedding "
OF the gentleman who refused his bath
In the presence OF the mOOzmi attendant;
how she went out and told her friends
that the poor man was possessed Of a
caudal appendage; and how he had &c
fee the village 10 prevent maltreatment
as an agent Of the devil. Ny friend was
persuaded. and we stripped to the bun. ."

Now that the season for flannel suits is
upon US it will be interesting 10 learn
how the most fastidious mountaineers
who wear flannel shirts the year around,
preserve them from the abuses OF the
laundryman. The information comes
from a gentleman who spent years in
Colorado. and whose shirts cost 3 and
s. apiece:
Never wash your fannels." said he
IN Colorado 1t is regarded as sacri-
loge TO wash a flannel shirt no matter
how long it's worn. All that is necessary
TO keep 1t perfectly clean and up to san
itary regulations is 70 give it plenty OF
fresh air. When a flannel shirt is taken
or It's hung on a line where the sun
and the night air can daily with IL Tor
fofty-eight hours. Then It is carefully
busted and brushed. especially about the
collar and cuffs and is ready once more
10 be put OF 10 wear or course you
can't do this with a white flannel suit.
but you can with flannel OF any other col
or. and IL is the only approved way I'm
which garments OF such material should
be treated. wv ashington Post.

The Mcrrimac.

To the Editor of The Times:
Sir-1he general impression seems
to be that the idea of an iron-clad
vessel. with sharply sloping sides. armed
with a ram" originated with the distin.
guished officer. who superiDtondcd the
construction Of the Merrimac. Is This
true?
During the final Illness Of Governor
Henry A. Wise. i visited him at least
twice a week. both because | admired
the man. and because his disease. until
the last days. did not seem to be &C
ccmpanied by much suffering. so that his
power and will to speak were out ii;tle
less than when In health; and he was
always an interesting converser.
one afternoon l distinctly remember
his telling me that the idea of the Mer-
presented 10 the Naval Committee of the
House of Representatives at les st TWEEN
" years before the war; accompanied by
complete drawings and plans and includ'
irg especially the two distinctive fea-
lures above referred to. My recollection
Is that the author or inventor was some
one connected with the Gospost Navy
Yard. Gov. Wise was member of the
Naval Committee at that time, II not its
chairman. and he spoke with his accUs-
toned precision and detail as TO the in
vent.on.
or course the journal of the Committee
would verify this information: but per-

Hot, Hot. Hot Summer Is upon us.
Summer. with all its quvering heat and
treathcssness, and man cannot keep cool
He would like TO lie In a bath (whose
temperature is zero. with a block OF ice
for pillow and an electric fan over his
head 10 cool his throbbing brow. Pleas
ant; but wholesome? oh, no.
Cold baths, except for the very robust
are to be taken with great caution, says
a psychologist. If afterward there be re-
action. and if the skin become warm
and pink. they are beneficial: hut If the
skin become cold and blue, they are in
furious. In fact. this should be the test
for each individual 10 apply 10 his own
case. As a rule, hot baths are relaxing
and should not. therefore. be INDUCED In
too frequently: indeed. in persons suffer
ing from disease of the heart they may
actually endanger life. The Turkish bath,
taken under competent medical supervis-
ion, is often Of great benefit, and many
persons take il weekly, and even oftener
with the effect of toning up the system,
and Of making them more competent TO
endure both physical and mental fatigue
However, in parentheses, let me warn
you, not TO daily too often with festive
masseur. Remember Mark Twain, who
after having had one OF these baths, and
having been laid on The marble slab. said
he didn't know ne was so far gone, and
requested that his remains be carefully
gathered and sent home.
Bathing. except sponge-or plunge
bath, should not be practiced when the
vital powers are low. as early In the
morning; nor after a long fast: nor should
IT be INDUCED In TOO soon after eating;
II o'clock in the morning is for the av-
erage person. proper time for a bath OF
considerable duration.
By-the-way. the cold bath Is coming
into considerable use in the treatment of
various fevers. as typhoid and pneumo-
ma. cholera-infantum. etc. The average
person looks on this method with horror.
as barbarous But, II the physician pre-
scribes IL, his advice must be followed.
Sometimes. the bath Is impossible; then
recourse is had TO cold sponging.

THE NICARA9UAN SITUATION.

Some of the cuckoo organs are try
ing to make it appear that British
occupancy of Corintois all right-that
Nicaragua is wrong and needs to be
disciplined. Such is not the case.
Nicaragua is disposed to be fair III the
controversy, and the trouble grows out
Of England's prediction for bullying
weaker nations. The facts in the
Nicaraguan disagreement are briefly
as follows: Mr.. Hatch, a consular
representative of Great Britain, to
whom al exequatur had never been
granted by Nicaragua, was arrested
and imprisoned for participating in a
political intrigue in the Mosquito Res
ervation. Great Britain demanded a
fixed sum as an indemnity for his i'm
prisonment. Nicaragua agreed to
refer all financial claims to an arbitra-
ton board. Great Britain refused
this reasonable proposition and dis

tum by landing marines, occupying
the custom house and selzlng the Gus
toms revenues
Nicaragua's proposition was. She
offered to submit the whole question
to arbitration: but Great Britain pre-
ferred to run Il bluff because she knew
Nicaragua was to weak to resent it,,
and knew also that her diplomats could
prevail upon Cleveland to refrain frem
interference Oh the part of the United
States. II is stated that Gresham
wanted to protest, and was prepared
to do so, when Cleveland vetoed the
whole matter. Tile blame rests on the
president alone.-Hutctinson Ne,rs.

HERE is the way the Harper Sent,ne
hits the nail on the head: 1.-The time
was when the plains of southwestern
Kansas were covered with cattle, the
property of the cattle barons. That is
not what we want, however. The in
dividual settlers with their herds OF
cattle, creating in each county hun
dreds of happy and prosperous homes,
is what southwestern Kansas wants.
1t is that which will bring her wealth
and advancement
