the Turkish bath. 1t is well to take
the water at the steaming stage, but
leave the "hot stuff" until the drying.

For the cooling process afterwards it
is only necessary to turn out the lamps
and allow the steam to subside. A dip
in tie warm water of the tub answers
the place of the shampooer. Let the
water in the tub cool until quite cold,
and the graduations of the Turkish
bath are experienced. Rest an hour
before going out the same as though
in a Turkish bath establishment. This,
properly worked, is a great success.
But it. like every other new thing,

To have a Turkish bath at home is

it isn't stretching it any TO say that
the woman who invented the home Tur-
kish bath this season has assisted IN

TURKEY AT HOME.
This is the way she manages. And,
as it isn't difficult, any woman might
do it from the recipe, which, by the
way. was for a long time kept a secret.
But it isn't patented, and any woman
with enough ingenuity can have Tui-
kish bath of her own at home without
much trouble.
The room in which the Turkish bath
is made is usually the bath room. ANY
small room VII do, provided 1t has d

The room is stripped of all furniture

in the middle of the room.
Suppose the bath room is used; there
is water ready, and the room IS pre-

chair is placed in the spot furthest
away from the window TO AVOID the

PUMPING EARTH FOR A LEVEE.

Interesting Experiment Being Made
by Engineers ON the Mississippi.
Lieutenant Roche Of the United
States engineer corps, who was in
charge of the levee district below New
Orleans, has been trying a plan Of
building levees with hydraulic pump
at a point sixty miles below the city.
If the experiment is the complete sue
cess that is claimed for it it would re-
duce the cost of levee construction to
minimum, and save the people of
the lower Mississippi valley hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars annually.
The idea is not altogether new, but
the difficulty was in holding the mix
ture Of water and river mud thrown
up on the shore by the dredge. This
has finally been overcome by means
Of planking, which keeps the mixture
within a limited territory. The plank
ing leaked at first, but the use of will
lows stopped the leaks and the expert
ment is now success.
The levees in Lieutenant Roche's dis
trict are being built not by manual la
Dor, as all have heretofore been con-
structed, but by the mammoth steam
dredge Ram. The old system was OBJ
jectionable, not only because it cost
a great deal, although it had fallen IS
per cent. in cost during the last ten
years. but also because the levee, be-
ing made of dirt and not pounded
down-this has been found impractic-
able-is not compact or solid enough
and yields readily to the pressure Of
the river Lieutenant Roche tried the
system Of building levee by pump
ing the water and mud from the Mis-
sissippi, and now announces that it is
a success. Levees can undoubtedly be
built in this way, for there is the
Plaquemines levee to show for it, and
can be built more quickly. It is more
solid and substantial than the levees
built by hand, the soil being so COM
pact that the crawfish, the bane Of the
Louisiana planters, cannot penetrate
it, and this alone, Lieutenant Roche
thinks, will make the mud levees ex-
tremely popular. The matter Of cost
is not thoroughly satisfactory as yet.
The new pump-built levee costs about
the same as one constructed with scrap
ers of wheelbarrows. but this is attrib-
uted to the fact that the Ram was not
intended for levee building, but for
dredging. A much cheaper boat can
be built which will do the leyee work
far more satisfactorily and will reduce
the cost one-half. When this is done
the e-building machine will do all
the leyee work along the Mississippi.
and get rid of the thousands Of labor
ers and convicts who now do the work.
