THE DAILY BATH.
It's Necessity and the Tempera-
ture at Which it Should be
Taken,

Morning is the proper time for
the bath. The elimination OF
.effete matter from the skin has
not been excited during the
night, and the cleansing is nec>
essary. The bath exciUes cir
culation and freshens the sys

in room heated from "a TO IA
degrees. The water should be
fully as cold and the tempera

better than the common method
of rubbing. The skin should be
dried on soft towel, and no,
reddened by rough friction. This
irritates the pores, and inter
rupts their proper action. The
glow some people enjoy, if pro
duced by the friction Of a harsh
towel, is not healthful for the
skin. The flesh brush, except for
the hands aud feet, is not gooe
for the daily bath. It is only
safe in the Turkish bath, where
the massage given later sub
dues the irritation which would

of soap, except where it IS obvi>
ously necessary, is unwise, as ii
dries too much of the oleaginous
element Of the skin. anc
if it is not thoroughly washed off
it leaves another kind of dirt in
the pores. One complete soap
bath in the week is sufficient fol
the daily bather.

Gen. Lee and the War in Cuba

Utu, Lee duU tue w Ill Ill OuDd
1t is to the credit of Consul
General Lee that, unaffected by
the Spanish influences around him
in Havana, he has from the first
sought to learn for himself the
true condition of affairs in Cuba,
and has uniformly found them IA
vorable to the patriots
It is understood that his latest
reports contradict Gen Weyler' 5
pretences that the revolt is de-
creasing, and insist that it was
never stronger than now. His
view is believed to be that the
resolute adherence of the patriot
forces to the policy of harassing
and skirmishing, rather than
pitched battles, is the real and
only reason which may have led
some observers to imagine that
they are less active. But as soon
as Weyler reports a region paci =
fed and moves elsewhere, the
patriots, by tl~sir resumed oper
ations, show the folly of his as
sertion. Again. the Information
which Gen. Lee gives of the ruiz
wrought in the island, the suffer-
ings Of the people, and the losses
of our own trade, must be Sc
riously weighed in determining
our course.
1t is easy to believe that Gen
Lee has written with the freedom
that comes of believing that his
news would be welcome at Wash
ington. The procuring Of thi:
information may perhaps bt
traced to the same eagerness fol
the exact facts which has inspir
ed the sending out of Mr. Cal
houn as special commissioner
For, although ostensibly the lat
ter goes only to investigate the
circumstances of the death O
Ruiz in Spanish dungeon, it il
currently believed that he will
bring back the results of a broat
inspection of the true condition
of the affairs in the island.

Error of an Undertaken.

New York, May 14.-Mrs.
Arthur Scroggs. her daughter
Ena, and a governess, Miss Sco-
vile, are speeding to Europe on
the American Line steamship St.
Louis, for Southampton. They
left this port yesterday. Mrs.
Scroggs believes implicitly that
the body of her sailor husband is
on the vessel, but it is not. Sealed
in metallic casket, the remains
are in the morgue. They will
probably be buried in day or so
in Potter's Field.
Arthur Scruggs, thirty years
old, who was owner and master
of the steamship Spinster, was
swept overheard off the coast Of
Vancouver Island. The body
was recovered and taken to Victo-
ria, B. G. An undertaken pre-
pared the body and placed it il
a metallic casket for shipment to
England. Mrs. Scroggs wanted
the remains taken to England, as
that was her husbands home, anc
it appears that she understood
the undertaken would give direc
tions to have the body shipped
via. New York right through to
England.
There was some misunder
standing, however, and the un
dertaker billed the body to New
York. It arrived in the Crane
Central depot Monday, and afte
remaining there for two days i
was transferred to the morgue. .
Mrs. Scroggs, thinking her in
structions would be obeyed, en-
gagged passage on the st. Loui
by wire from Chicago, and CAV
no thought to the transfer of tn
body from the railroad to th
steamship.

TURKEY EQUIPs MORE MEN
Preparing to Mobilize Her Forces
in a Part of Asia Minor.

London, May 14-A despatch
to the Standard from Constan
tinople, says that since May 8 six
transports have sailed from that
city for Trebizond, Samsoun, and
Sinope, bearing officers and war
material for the DIVISIONS sta-
toned at Erzeroum, Sivas, and
birmingham. The initial summons
ses for mobilization have been
issued to the redifs or reserves
Of the Erzinghiam district.
The correspondent connects
these movements with the state
ment made by an exalted Otto
man official to the effect that Rus
sia had made such exhorbitant
demands as the price of her
moral support in the Armenian
and Greek crises that to accept
them would be tantamouat to re
signing the title Of a free nation,

der Of the troops will shortly

out, they realizing the futility OF
hoping for annexation now.

Minister Clayton i'm Mexico.

Mexico City, Mex, May IA
General Powell Clayton, the new
ly-appointed Minister of the
United States, officially presented
his credentials to President Diaz
at noon to-day, in the Hall of the
Ambassadors. The State coaches
bearing the arms of the Republic,
were sent to the hotel where the
Minister is residing for himself
and family. On arriving at the
palace they found a large detail
of army officers assembled to
greet the party, while many prom
inent American residents were
present.
General Clayton was dressed in
the full uniform Of a brigadier-
general of the United States army
and made a soldier-like appear
ance. His speech communicated
assurances of his desire to cult
vate still closer bonds with the
Government of Mexico, and he
assured General Diaz of the sym
pathy and goodwill of the Amer
lean people, The President re-
piled in a most cordial speech
and the Minister and family were
taken back to their hotel in the
State carriages.

BARNARD'S AIRSHIP AGAIN,
He Turns it Around Several
Times Over Nashville and
Drifts Off With the Wind.

Nashville, Tenn, May Ia
Prof. Arthur Barnard sailed away
yesterday evening on the second
trip in his newly invented airship.
Preparation for the second voyage
had been in progress since last
Thursday, when the first experi>
ment was made, but until yester-
day the weather conditions were
unfavorable.
Although the weather was not
entirely satisfactory it was de-
eided to make the trip, despite the
heavy looking clouds which OBJ
scured the sky. Along about i
O'Clock the sun burst through the
clouds, and Prof. Barnard began
Immediately to make preparations
for the ascent. The airship had
previously been filed with hydro
gen gas, and it was brought from
its quarters and placed in position
on Exposition Hill. A large
crowd was gathered, and the num-
Der of spectators continued to in
crease until about 1000 people
were present.
Owing to the fact that the ship
was not filled to its full capacity
with gas the ballast, consisting of
bags of sand, was removed, the
navigator deciding to make the
trip without them. Considerable
delay was experienced in the
preparations, and it was about Z
O'Clock when the ship arose grace
fully and sailed over the domes of
he white buildings of the fair.
The wind was blowing about four
miles an hour from the southwest,
but in a short while increased in
velocity to six miles an hour. The
manipulation Of the machine got a
hearty cheer as he passed far above
the heads of the people who
thronged the grounds, but he was
100 busy operating his craft to
give any sign that he heard the
plaudits.
While passing over the grounds
Prof. Barnard turned the ship
around several times, evidently
70 show that it was subject to his
will Yet with this manifestation
IF his power, the ship continued
% drift with the wind, which
vas blowing directly over the
city proper.
Before the ascent Prof. Bars
GARD announced that he intended
TO make a circuit Of the fair
grounds and the city, but when
asst seen he was some distance
beyond the city limits and going
in the direction of the wind.
Whether this was done purpose. :.
iy Or because he could not pre-
| vent it is a matter of conjecture.
According to weather Bureau
employees Prof. Barnard may
have encountered a stronger wind
at the altitude at which he was
sailing than that lower down and
be was unable to control the
course of the ship. No tidings
had been received from Prof.
Barnard at late hour tonight.

Tariff Bill DELAYED.

Washington, May 14.-In the
Senate to, day Mr.. Aldrich, in
charge of the Tariff bill, said
that in view of the unavoidable
delay in the preparation of the
comparative statement which was
to accompany that measue and
the desire Of the Democrats for
more time to examine that state
ment, he would not call the Tar
if bill up for general debate on
Tuesday next, in accordance
with his previous notice. He
hoped. however, to call it up
next Thursday, AMI certainly not
later than Monday, the Oath.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas. a
Democratic member of the Fin
ance Committee, said it had been
a physical impossibity to com
plete the comparative statement
before. All the available force OF
the Bureau Of Statistics had been
at work on it, and it was only
finished to-day. It had now gone

in a few years to the establishment
of railways all over England

The history Of the American locomo-
tive begins with 1929, the same year
that the Rainhill trial took place in
England. The early forms made in
this country were copied largely from
English machines, of which a num-
Der were imported. Within the COM
paratively brief period of 68 years
which have since elapsed, the process
of development has brought to us a
distinctly American type of locomo-
i've, which is adapted to the condi-
tions of the service to be met with on
cur railways, and which surpasses
n speed and power those of any other
country. The estimated aggregate
power Of the steam engines of the
United States, both locomotive and
stationary, is equivalent to about forty
million horsepower; the locomotives,
$4,000 in number, supply 80 per cent.
of this vast amount. They burn about
10000 tons of coal per day. Taken
altogether, they travel 100000 miles
per day, or a distance equal to about
80 times around the globe. Consider
ing the statistics OF the railways of
the United States, we find that they
represent in value eleven billions OF
dollars, or about Is per cent. of the
total national wealth. This is nearly
twice the valuation OF the entire man
ufacturing industry Of the country.
Their gross annual income is over one
billion dollars. They employ nearly
one-ffth as many men as those en-
gagged in all the manufacturing indus
tries Of the country put together
Their yearly pay roll amounts to over
$50 millions.

type Of locomotive a contribution of

not be true. Nevertheless, a young

him excellent recommendations, and
equipped for journalistic work by sew

at the editorial office of that paper.
He made so good an impression that
the managing editor was about to as

FOOD FOR THE MASSES.

Many people are aware that honey,
either simple or prepared in combina-
ton with other ingredients, is de-
sirable medical agent in certain cases,
as in diseases of the throat, especially
those of d mild nature, like hoarse
ness and a dry, iniamed condition;
but not so many are aware that as a
regular article of food it has prop
hylactic and even a therapeutic value
which can scarcely be oyerestimated.
Many sweets are to be taken with
caution, as they are liable to impair
the action Of the stomach, or other
wise injuriously affect the system;
but honey may at any time be eaten
freely, according to the taste of the
recipient, and will be found corrective
and beneficial. In some cases, espe-
cially where the appetite has been
pampered and demoralized by hurtful
Indulgence in unwholesome sweets or
other foods, the taste for honey will
need to be cultivated; but it will al
most invariably grow with the restora-
ton of the general physical tone and
become an individual characteristic.

THE FIRST CAB.

Getlemen's Magazine: Like the
buses, cabs were introduced from
Paris, but some ten years earlier, or
say about 1920. Although its type
was not at all settled, the Cabriolet
was a little hood-shaped vehicle, quite
above its axle, aud therefore very
high and difficult to get into. 1t was
only intended to carry one passenger,
though two slim ones whc did not
mind squeezing could generally man
age to find room. The driver sat on a
little shelf or perch on the right-hand
side, quite outside the body of the ma
chine. This was an English innova-
ton; in Paris driver and fare shared
the same seat, and this was continued
here for private cabriolets
The ingenious Mr.. Joseph Hanson
(who was an architect of Hinckley
Leicestershire), however, bethought
him il 1884 that if he used larger
wheels and suspended the body of the
cab between them, the vehicle would
hold two easily, or three at a pinch
would balance better, be easier tC
draw, and safer if the horse fell. Fur
Their improved by putting the driver
behind and the axle under the seat
the invention soon made its way, anC
by the SOS, the hanson was as muct
the favorite cab of London as it is to-
day. The original patent IS dated Dec
%, 1884.

Dec. Is. 1t is almost certain that at
least one Of the regular appropriation
bills and probably two will be passed
before the Christmas recess is taken.
Most of the members who have al
ready arrived in town express the
opinion that the coming session will
be short and the regular session the
longest in years.
