THE BOTTLE r

Madison avenue was too restricted a

the ranks of emancipated cathood and
teach her downtrodden sisters to strike

her little family before their eyes we're
opened, and started in search OF broader
spheres. Two OF the kittens died, and
the third started out to battle with life
on four wobbly little legs and an un-
certain little tail that he used for steer
ing purposes. He steered himself as far
as Third avenue, where a girl. pushing ii
baby carriage, picked him up and put
him in. There must have been some free

TALK BY WRESTLING.

Have YOU ever heard of the so-cal,eI

,,olabilities are that you never have.
IL this curious method of speech--if
ia,1e.d one can so describe it--ddtes
rom prehistoric times.
The shepherd folk Of Teneriffe and
Genera use the "whistling language
md the first recorded notice OF it was
made by a French traveller us far back

tove called the worlds attention, at
lone intervals, to the Language" Some
years age, while roaming, with staff and
.rrjp. through ravines and over the
Mild mountain ranges of Teneriffe, it
an to the writer's lot to hear the shep-
herds thus conversing. BY placing two
or three fingers in the mouth it is pos
sib,e to make the whistle carry to a dis
lance of three miles, or whereabouts.
The lonely hills seem silent and de-
serted, when suddenly out OF the far dis
lance came u long, drawn and very
sllrill whistle-the summons to a con-
,ersation. In reply, a similar call strikes
piercingly on the ear from the opposite
direction. The whistles are widely sep
arated, but have no intention of being
lonely. Perhaps they are having some
difficulty with their focks. Perhaps
they are merely resting awhile after the
dinner of black bread and onions. At
any rate, if you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, a chat between friends three miles
or more separated.

WOMAN AND HOME.
~HeAL1A.GivlNo BATHS.
Dips in Water Made Fragrant BY
s Flowers and Herbs.

For hardening and strengthening the
muscles Of neck, shoulders, arms and
limbs nothing is more eftieaeious than
q bath of flowers or herbs. Any woman
aspiring to resemble the heroine in
Daniel Deronda," who always emerged
from her bath looking like a freshly
dipped swan" is becoming initiated in
the mysteries of these refreshing and
fragrant dips.
Rose leaves, crushed ~violets, hay flow
ers, oat straw, shave grass and pine
sprig-these form the foundation OF
the flower or herb bath. and conse-
quently excursions to the garden, the
| field or the hay rack will be in order
IN summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by n cold shower and
a vigorous rubbing until arms and
neck shine like glistening marble, are
firm of texture and smooth as satin.
All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should
be poured upon bags of the different
blossoms or herbs, each bag contain
ing from one-haf to one pound of mate
rial and the whole allowed to boil for
ten minutes: the vessel is then taken
| from the fire and allowed to partly
cool, when it is added to the prepared
bath.
Hay flowers consist of the remains of
stalks. leaves, blossoms and seeds, even
the hay itself. An oat-straw bath is
made by boiling the stalks and heads
of oats for one-half hour in a kettle and
then pouring the decoction into the
tub. Shave grass is prepared in the
same manner by boiling the stem, cone
and spore. Equisetum arvesne is the
botanical name Of shave grass, which
is a medicinal herb of great value.
Taken internally in form OF n tea it
p%urifies the stomach; externally in the
bath it washes away and dissolvcs ali
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance, in cases OF
violent bleeding at the nose a decoe-
ton of shave grass drawn up into the
n~ostrils gives immediate relief. A sup
ply of shave grass should be kept In
every ipitc disPSlShi 'ha' '''hN -
need it may be quickly at hand.
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better, small
branches, even resinous pine cones, cut
them in bits, put into a bag and boil for
one-half hour. The chief effect of a
pine-sprig bath is on the skin. which is
brought into activity by it. and on the
blood vessels. which it strengthens.
Moreover, it is fragrant and delightful.
For the mixed BATH herbs and flowers
of various kinds are used; this is in
case the due quantity of any one can
not be procured.

such tubbings. A warm flower bath

FLOATING FIRE ENGINES
Powerful and Effective Equipment II
New York's Fire Bonts.


Mr.. Charles T. Hill contributes to
st. Nicholas another paper in his series
devoted TO New York's fire department.
The present article describes the Float
ing Fire Engines" In writing of the
New Yorker, Mr.. Hill says of her equip
raent of pumps:
These pumps have a throwing ca
pncity of fully 10000 gallons of water
every minute, and under the best condi-
tons they have been known to reach
1900 gallons a minute--over 5000 gal
Ions more than any other fireboat atloat.
The water is drawn in through the sides
OF the boat, below the water line, into
what is known as the Suction bay
making all inner reservoir from which
the pumps are fed.
There are about 10000 little holes,
three-eighths inch in diameter, bored in
the sides of the boat just outside these
suction bays, and through these holes
the water is drawn in, and filtered 50
that no foreign substance may get into
the pumps. From the pumps it is forced
into an air chamber. thus equalizing
the pressure all around, and then into
d veritable water main IL inches in
diameter, which runs all around the
boat, between decks, and supplies the
various outlets. There are AZ of these
outlets (i%ncluding the four stand pipes
Or monitor nozzies), and they vary in
size from six inches in diameter down
to 2h inches 1.-THE size of the regulation
fire hosc). Two of the monitor nozzles
are mounted aft, on top of the cabin,
and a big and a small one on top of tho
wheelhouse. The two stand pipes aft
have 2h-ineh nozzles, the big n on the
wheelhouse having a 3hs-incf opening.
From the latter a solid 3H-inch stream
can be thrown a distance of 800 feet. and
If necessary this car be increased to a
sh-inch opening, and a mighty stream
OF water, having that width, can be sent
laundering out into space over 200 feet.
II you could hear this immense stream
as it pours into the bay, like a miniature
cataract, you could better appreciate
the power of this remarkable boat.
No body of fire could very long with
stand "a deluge like this, and it requires
