Bathing Is first of all for cleanliness,
but IL should be praetieed also for its
good effect upon the skin, the circula-
ton and the nutrition. II affords an
excellent stimulus for the skin, inn
proving the tone of Its minute network
of vessels increasing the excretion
which Is carried on by its glands, and
thus relieves the kidneys and liver OF
much of their work. II acts as an addl-
tional stimulus to the circulation by
causing the blood to flow more thor
oughly through all the organs of the
body as we'll as through the minute
blood vessels of the skin itself. 1t i'm
proves nutrition by causing a more
rapid removal of the waste products
from the system.
One of the most lnvigora ting forms Of
athing Is the cold sponge bath taken in
the morning before breakfast Persons
who do not react readily after such a
bath, such as the very young, the very
old, or those who are seriously weaken
ed by disease, should not practice 1t.
For person of average health, how
ever, the cold bath Is an excellent tonic.
The eXhilaration and warmth of the
cold sponge bath can be increased by
drying and rubbing the body with
rough towel
Care should aways be taken not to
have the bath too prolonged, or of
temperature so low rs to prevent the
reactlonary dilation of the vessels OF
the skin. If the cold sponge bath Is
taken regularly the blood vessels of the
skin are trained to contract and relax
easily, and therefore habitual bathers
are comparatively little liable to catch
cold. The number of red blood corpus
cles and the amount of coloring matter
in them is increased by cold baths. An
excellent way of becoming accustomed
10 the cold sponge bath is to begin with
water which is tepid, and gradually re-
duce its temperature until absolutely
cold water can be borne and enjoyed.

The Industrious Yellow Hammer.

William r. O'Neill of the Pacific
vinegar factory noticed n yellow hammer
industriously at work one day on the
siding of the factory building. Mr..
O'Neill watched the bird for some time,
and inside of an hour it had cut a
round hole two or three inches in d.
ameter through the inch planking. Mr..
O'Neill Is not mean man and If the
bird cared to make its home in his vine
gar factory-why, 1t was all right. Next
day, however, he noticed that the yell
low hammer was engaged on another
hole. "It's for a back door" thought
the owner of the building. But after it
had finished the back door it cheerfully
went to work ON the other holes, prob
ably for windows. By the time there
were 10 holes in the side of the factory
Mr.. O'Neill concluded that the yellow
hammer was taking liberties with his
property. So he obtained permission
from the chief of police to shoot it. For
whole day the office boy and Mr.
O'Neill's brother banged away without
feazing the little bird, and it was final
ly necessary to employ an expert marks
man to bring it down. The marksman
charged 90 cents for his services, and
Mr.. O'Neill also lost the best part of
day mailing boards over the holes in the
planking Portland Oregonian.

TWO MEETINGS.
A Very Old Man Tells of Something That
Awakened Tender Memories.


81 came across something last Sun
day." said an old, very old, man one
day in 1866, something that brought
tears to my eyes and started a flood of
recollections that | could not control.
had been out with my son-in-law for a
little excursion, and feeling thirsty we
dropped down in the yard of neat
looking hotel and called for some Rhine
wine and settlers
"'You will have to order NEAL
said the waiter, and we said, OF course
two meals. In time the Rhine wine
was brought. The glasses were smaller
than they were when 1 was young, but
their contents were otherwise we'll.
Then he brought the meals.
'They were the ordinary Sunday
drink meals. My son-in-law's was or
dinary in every way but the waiter
had dropped mine, and, picking it up
in hurry, had placed it on the plate
upside down. Otherwise, of course, I
should never have noticed it. On the
bottom Of the meal, carved deep into
the crust, were the initials 'B. G. r.,
and the date 1896, May IT,. Seventy
years old and more that Raines Sunday
meal wasl The initials were my own,
and, as 1 looked at the figures, almost
as fresh as when they were first carved,
my memory went back to the bright
Sunday in May, 1896, when friend
and I had ridden on our bicycles to the
self same hotel and ordered the same
drinks and meals. OF course, it was
only coincidence, but it was interest
ing.
"It was just about that time, 1" said
the old, very old, man, picking up his
cane, that the custom the boys had Of
carving their names on turtles backs
was given up; they carved them on
Raines Sunday meals, because they last
ed longer. And l think that was one
of the pioneers of the new custom. And
the old, very old, man went out New
York Sun.

He's mine. He will be true to me.

to herself In the wee small hours when

sleep. And thus that last summer ap-
preached its zenith If Frank had
dreamed of the torture she was under

little revenge that was so foreign to his
nature. He wrote that he hoped to be

The wedding day was II falr counter
part of that other one, and Hattie was
feverish with alternating hope and
fear. She started with every sound
and listened at every football, but the
day and night came and went and no
Frank come. Worse yet, the week
went by and did not bring the mlssire
that never before had failed her, An
other week went by and still no tidings.
Poor Hattie was almost wild with de
spair. She was fully convinced that
some terrible accident had happened on
the homeward journey, and she was
indeed widow.
"But he's mine-he's mine" she
moaned, clasping that piece of precious
paper to her heart. She was mt Franks

buried In the pretty covers-some Of

desolate life and wondering how many
years she would have to live before
death would reunite them. And, wolf
dering, she fell asleep only to dream
of an ominous yellow envelope being
placed In her hand. 1t was n telegram,
and her nervous fingers refused to
open 1t, for she knew but too well what
1t contained.
A sharp rap at the door reused her
from her half stupor, and instinctively
she rose and started to open 1t, think
ing of naught but the dreaded nessen-
ger boy with the yellow envelope.

gentleman, Weakening from his slumber

Her hand was on the knob when an
eager, living voice from the outside ex-
claimed: "Frank Hartley. Is Hattie

The door opened, and after three
long, weary years of waiting husband
and wife were reunited.
1t needed the clasp of loving arms to
assure Hattie that she had not slept
her last sleep and walked in heaven

NuTRIMENT IN FOOD.

The consumption of mutton is similar
to that of beef, and it is about equal in
nutritive value to beef. Lamb is about
the same.
Smoked ham is one of the most whole
some forms of meat. Ham is more di-
gestible when boiled and served sliced
thin and cold.
Veal is less nutritive, possesses more
waste and less fat than beef In Ger
many it is considered as excellent as
beef and is prescribed for invalids, but
in England and America it is thought
harmful for persons with weak di-
gestions.
Beef is the most nutritious of all ami
NAL foods and can be eaten longer con-
tinuously than any other kind of meat,
resembling rice and bread in this re-
spect. Fresh beef is almost completely
digested, more completely than milk is
by an adult.
Poultry is good fesh-forming food.
Fish is like poultry in it's large amount
of water and small supply of fat. There
is nothing to show that fish is brain
food except that the small amount of
fat makes it a suitable diet for persons
of sedentary habits.
