swans of solid silver, which spout Ie-
spectively hot and cold water from their
open bills.
The naughty plumber said that New
York people of wealth were very par
ticular about their bathrooms. They are
not only particular. they are capricious
People spend thousands of dollars fitting
up their baths, and after a little while
they take a notion that something else
will suit them better. They rip out the
onyx slabs; don't like the color. They
take out the costly porcelain tub; it's too
high or too low. And so il considerably
goes. Speaking of the hight of tubs. he
said that in many cases the new bath
rooms are furnished with tubs which rest
directly on the floor, instead of being
raised by marble or porcelain feet. As
for the cost of fine bathroom, one plumb
er said that khe finest one he had put
in cost $1,000 The ordinary fine bath
room costs from 1880 to 5000. The bath
rooms in the new hotels cost about 800
apiece. one of the largest of these ho-
tells contains S200000 worth of bathrooms.
As far as the durability of gold and silver
fixture is concerned, the naughty plum Der
said that there Is not much difference;
either will tarnish if not cleaned regu-
larly. II the fixtures are silver plated,
the plating will have to be renewed oc-
casionally, once every year or every five
years or every ten years. according to the
quality of the plating. II II is sterling sill

once year is quite often enough to have
the plumbing tested for the escape of sewer
gas. There are two methods of doing
this-the peppermint test and the smoke
test. The latter is regarded as the more
absolute, although both are used. When
such test is made the regular escapes for
the water are plugged up, and smoke Is
pumped into the pipes from the roof For
this purpose there is a special machine
which combine a furnace and a force
pump. In the little furnace are put old
rags or discarded Christmas trees or any
thing which VIII make a fine smudge. As
soon as these are In good smoking condi-
ton the smudge Is forced down into the
pipes and tour Of examination is made.
II the smoke escapes at any point Il can
be detected at once
The peppermint test Is managed from the
roof also. The escapes are plugged I'D.
ana then about pint OF peppermint oil
Is poured down the roof pipe, followed by
bucket OF hot water. The odor of the
peppermint is so penetrating that II will

the man who handles the peppermint has
to stay on the roof until the examination
Is complete, or the whole house will be
permeated with the odor 1t isn't so easy
to locate exactly a leak by this test as by
the smoke test, either, for the odor of the
PEPPERMINT quickly becomes general and
cannot be so easily traced. When the
plumbing of new building is completed
all OF the escapes are closed, and the pipes
are then filed with water clear to the too
OF the one opening on tn roof. They are
left this way for examination by an in
spector.

fact is that the bathrooms there. while

orleans seem TO have a mania for spending
money on their baths. Europeans never
cease to exclaim at the fact that even
the Americans of most modest means
and those coming from remote country
towns, are accustomed to have bathrooms

isn't uncommon to hear Americans ex-

she is past forty eight years of age, she is
ordinarily taken for from forty to forty-fve.

The duties Of trained nurse are arduous.
There is no profession or occupation which
makes greater drain on the nervous system
than the avocation which seeks to alleviate
the distress of others. The soothing of the
furrowed brow and watching over the ftful
sleep of patients, brings with it much that is
trying for the nurse.
1t pays we'll, and many are attracted to the
ranks of the profession who pay dearly for
their labors. One of the best known profess
sional nurses in Columbus, o., is Mrs. Lucy A..
Crawford, of No. 800 East Cherry Street. She
is the mother of seven children, and at present
lives with married daughter at the above
address.
Mrs. Crawford is highly esteemed by an
extensive acquaintance for her high quail
ties of mind and heart, and to q smaller
circle of friends she is endeared by years of
kindness and friendship. Her family love
her as only the mother is loved, who, for a
lifetime has lavished her time and energies

The following circular was issued yesterday
from he Office of Tom L. johnson in this city,
regarding the project Of raising money for q
memorial to Henry George:
Inc sudden death Of Henry George. which
was directly osused by his seif.sacrihoing ex-
ortions Tor the public good, while engaged in an
earnest and unsel1sh effort to serve the inter
esIs ottne people, has given rise to a general
expression OF desire that some memorial sub
scriptioh should be raisod In token OF public
sympathy and appreciation. This feeling Is
shared quito MS fully by those who differed
widely from Mr.. George in his views as by those
VINO either entirely or partially agreed with him.
The life OF Henry George. for at least tho
Iast twenty-five years, was devoted by him ao.
eoiutely and without reserve to tho service OF
mankind, according to his best light and sincere
convictions. Ho not only sought nothing for
himself. but deliberately sacrificed every chance
for personal profit or official honors for tho
sake of what he believed to bo the highest
good Of his follow men. Il was universally
recognized that, In finally standing as n candi.
entirely disintorested and that ho had, not a
tnought, either for his own profit or his own
fullest r Sss% nhtSs S and 4 he Tia highest Ss GoSss..' L
1t seems to us that no memorial to Henry
George could DO at once more grateful 70 him
minded mon than would DO q provision made, by
public subscription to put his widow In such a
position OF comfort as she would undoubtedly
have enjoyed had her husband devoted his re.
MUS and his wonderful skin and power as q
writer TO the benefit Of his own family instead
Of TO the benefit OF humanity at large.
Therefore. at tho request Of many friends
and admirers of Mr.. George. tho under
signed have consented to act as a com.
mittee to receive public subscriptions for a
memorial to him. These subscriptions. to such
extent as may BIO necessary to secure for Mrs.
Georre n perfectly satisfactory support for tho
remainder OF her life. will be used solely for
that purpose. II any surplus remains. beyond
thai amount 1t will be used In providing such
permanent memorial rs In the Judgment Of the
committee, acting for the subscribers will be
most suitable.
subscriptions. whether in large or small
amounts, may DO sent to George Foster Pea
