man you Inay at trifling expense, make
the tub quite desirable. Procure a small
can of common paint of any light color
desired, can of enamel paint of the same
color, and a good sized brush Cut eight
or ten pieces of yellow soap into bits.
and put 1t over the fire to dissolve in
couple Of quarts of water, fill the bath
tub with very hot water, and throw
in generous handful of powdered borax
and the dissolved soap. When the water
becomes cool enough to put the hands
in it, scrub the surface with brush,
letting the water run off as the work is
done. Again partly fill the tub with hot
water and scrub it with the brush and
sand soap to make sure that all greasy
particles have been removed. Then rinse
it in clean hot water and thoroughly
dry. Cover with two coatings Of COM

dry before putting on the second

Archie Gracey Considers
Their Effect
22,s4s MILES LAST YEAR
WAS HIS OWN AND THE WORLDS
RECORD
Believes Bicylce the Greatest Aid Of
Health-Great Feats Possible
to the Rider

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-Archie
"A. Gracey holds the Century Road clubs
century record Of 1856 centuries, and q.
mileage of 22,S4S miles, between January
], 1896, and December Of the same year.
Every wheelman will know what this
means. To the limited number who do
not ride a wheel. it is stated, by way Of
explanation, that a century Is a run Of
q hundred miles in a day on wheel.
No one can belong to the Century Road
club who cannot maks such run as the
one referred to. Therefore, when rider
holds the record in club nsade up of
century wheelmen 1t goes without say
ing that he Is rider par excellence.
A natural question is, how does GEN.
fury riding affect the wheelman's
health? Perhaps the best answer to this
question is given by Gracey himself in

Of the Century Wheelmen's club, or per-
haps I ought to say 80 per cent of the

and day out. I generally took a half

as the Century club rules say that 80
per cent OF every century run must be

over 70 per cent of the run on asphalt.

R1vALED N1MRoD IN HIS DAY
Wetzel Killed Lions and Tigers in
Their Native Businesses

A great hunter has Just died In Cochin.
China, where he lived for the past TWEEN.
ty-seven years. His name was WetzeI.
He was an Alsatian. During the war of
1870 he served in a French regiment of
cuirassiers, and at the cloe Of the war he
asked to be sent to Cochin China. His
request was granted. and he was en-
ployed in that country as gamekeeper.
Soon he became famous by his exploits
His hunting record which he used to
show with pride, foots up eighty nine
elephants. thirty tigers. twenty-one pam
thers, five rhinoceroses. about twenty
wild buffaloes and an immense number
of bears, deer. etc. The natives held him
In great veneration on account of the
services which he rendered to them.
At one time two tigers carried away
some persons in the neighborhood Of
Tayninh. On being notified Of the fact
by the authorities, Wetzel set out In the
night to hunt them. Concealing himself
in one Of the haunts Of the beasts, he shot
them down, one after another. He never
used any strategems: all his hunting was
done in bold and daring fashion One
day while hunting buffaloes he was
charged by bull. The natives ar.
more afraid Of a bull buffalo than they
are Of tiger. Wetzel was knocked down
and paved by the brute. He pretended
to be dead His rifle escaped from his
hand as he fell. Slowly he dragged
himself up to it. To seize it, shoulder
it and lodge bullet in the head of his
adversary was matter of an instant.
He was confined to his bed for a long
time after that adventure. On another
occasion wounded tiger bounded upon
him and struck him with her claws in
the face. inflicting a serious wound, but
he killed the beast The traces of the
wound could be plainly seen on his face
In rough-and-tumble fight with pam
ther his left shoulder was badly lacer-
ated, but he managed to plunge his hunt
ing knife into the panther's heart. His
death was the result of sunstroke. His
numerous friends are about to erect a
monument to him, which will recall his
exploits as soldier, an elephant hunter,
tiger hunter and an all-around man
with a gun.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

KAFFIRS ARE HARDY MEN
Seldom Feel Pain and Are Exempt
From Ordinary Ailments

Nearly everybody knows that the
kaffir has an extra skin beyond the
number apportioned to the white man,
and the fact of this additional cuticle
may account for the extraordinary in
sensibility of this race to physical pain.
The following facts are vouched for as
being absolutely correct:
In smithy near Bloemfontein, one
afternoon, someone noticed strong and
pungent smell as If flesh burning. On
inquiry being made 1t was discovered
that stout kafIir boy was standing
barefooted on a redhot horseshoe, which
had somehow fallen on the ground.
