Hints for the Bath

Bathing after nap is injurious.
A rough bathing towel is better for any
kind of a bath than a smooth one.
For protecting the hair during shower
bath or in a large plunge a cap of water
proof silk is light and comfortable.
The rule is: Hot water for the tub bath.
cold water for the shower bath, water of
normal temperature for the plunge.
1t is hardly necessary to remind the
bather that weakened digestion is the re-
suit of bathing within an hour Of full
meal.
If the temperature Of the bath water is
either above or below normal the face and
edges of the hair should be thoroughly
moistened with the water before the plunge
is made.
One should never stay in tub bath more
than ten minutes, nor in shower bath
over two. In a plunge bath one may safely
stay twenty minutes, as the exercise pre-
vents bad effects.
A return from dusty trip or ride in
the wind should be followed by hot rather
than cold bath. The escaping steam in
duces Precipitation and the hot water
washes out the fine dust.
If one is contemplating the necessity Of
exposure to sA1 or wind. a cold water bath
is better than a warm one, as 1t toughens
the skin and makes it firmer in its resist
ance to unfavorable conditions.
The strained juice of three lemons, II put
in the bath water, will give one delicious
sense of cleanliness. The acid removes
all stoppage of the pores caused by the ac-
emulation of saline substances.
The bather who has had recommended to
her cold water baths and who cannot over
come her repugnance to them may be
sure that this shrinking is the warning of
a delicate constitution that the treatment
Is too drastic.

CLAY's CHALLENGE TO CHoArE
The Kentuckian Danced Breakdown
and Choate Cut Pigeonwine

In the long ago antebellum days, when
Southern ariStocracy made its head
quarters at the noted Virginia Springs,
where the planters came up from the
Carolinas, Kentucky Georgia and Mis-
sisSippi in their carriages, with great
baggage trains and a retinue of servants.
and when they came the first of June and
stayed until frost fell, those were gay
old times at the mountain resorts, and
life was worth the pain of living.
Beginning with the first register In
1905 and coming on down to 1860, one
finds succession of historical names
There are the Sumters, the Pickenses,
and the HamptonS of the Carolinas; the
Clays and Marshalls and Crittendens of
Kentucky; Corwin and Ewing and
Trimble of Ohio; the Choates and Web
sterS and Pierces of New England; Dick
inson, Marcy and Dallas of the Middle
States; Cass and Douglas and Benton
from the then far west the Floyds, Ca
bells, Prestons and a galaxy of bright
names from Virginia; the CAROLS from
Maryland, and host of others whose
names have rendered American history
lllustrious. Here these old notables
came in their shadbellied coats and side
board collars. and a proper, dignified
time they had of it as they mingled their
sulphur water and mint juleps together
and talked politics. 1t was away back in
1887, when there must have been some
thing in the wind of Importance to the
Whig party. On a musty old page of the
hotel register of that year, in that fine
almost feminine handwriting that is ia
miliar to all we find this inscription
H. Clay, Kentucky" while among the
next days arrivals are Rufus Choate,
Massachusetts,; Thomas Corwin, Ohio;
William c. Rives, Virginia, and Millard
Fillmore, New York.
Those were the days when the making
of julep was an art as we'll as do
mestic accomplishment. The night be-
fore Mr.. Clay's departure from the
springs he gave banquet in his cot
tage to his friends. Fortunately there
is still living eyewitness to thai enter
tainment, and if his description can be
relied upon, it was a gala event that
transcends all modern blowouts. Old
Uncle Jimmie Patterson, the venerable
gatekeeper who has been an attache of
the White Sulphur from time immemo-
rial, was the floor servant on the row
in which the Clay cottage was located,
and helped to serve the banquet. He
says that the department of the hosts
and the guests was eminently proper un-
til about the hour of midnight, but from
that time of the night until the morning
hours the fun was fast and furious.

THE TALKING FROG
His Observations Are characterized
bY Sameness

The frogs over in the water garden of
Bushnell park are very fair sort of frogs
in their way and do reasonable credit to
their undoubted Windham ancestry
They sing we'll, and they do as neat a
"ker chug" dive as frogs of any water
garden in the state, but their accom-
plishments otherwise are nil as compared
with the king of talking frogs who lives
in a small pond beside the suburban
trolley track "in the woods" just after
it leaves the Pennington road.
This frog has been, domiciled in the
pool until he has grown corpulent and
powerful, but his educatioir has not been
NEGLECTED. One of the motormen on the
line has made his acquaintance, while
waiting for the incoming car from Far
mington, and the motorman has proved
a competent frog tutor. AS soon as the
car stops the motorman climbs down
from his perch and, advancing to the
edge of the pool, calls:
"Chirrup, chirrup, Grover"
On the instant Grover, which Is the
frog, rises to the surface, swims to the
shore, scrambles up, and, sitting in an
appealing schoolboy attitude, begins his
lesson.
IT see you are at school with your face
washed this morning." remarks the
tutorman.
"S-u-r-r-e," replies Grover.
"Well, what are you going to say for
your lesson this morning?"
High water! high water!"
"K-r-r-r-u-u-m-m
Imme diately the tutorman throws
few crumbs at the frog, and with blink
in his eye the frog makes backward
dive into the pool. He sees the other car
coming and he is not acquainted with the
other man. A day or two since the
motorman put up scheme on Grover to
get him weighed. He carried grocer's
scale out and tried to induce the frog to
climb into it, but Grover croaked 'I'd
r-r-r-u-ther not" gave ker chug, and
was out of sight.
The frog is certainly very tame and
carries on responsive reading" as the

GREASE STOPPED THE ENGINE
Exciting Incident Responsible for a
Nickname

when the road was first built" the
storytelling railroad man continued,
(which now runs from Harrisburg to
Canandaigua, N. Y. it was nicknamed
the 'Davy Crockett and for many years
thereafter the name clung. 1t was
brought about in this way:
"One dark night, when the conductor
was taking three passenger cars through
to Sudbury, he noticed the headlight of
a locomotive in the rear. He instantly
informed the engineer of the fact and
both began speculating what it meant
The train was running at high rate of
speed, but the headlight in the rear was
gaining steadily on them. AS there were
no lights IN the rear of the headlight,
they concluded it must be an empty en-
gine. That road twists in and, out among
the mountains and skirts the banks of
the Susquehanna river in such way
as to permit anyone looking back to OBJ
serve what is going on in the rear for
a considerable distance
1.-The conductor ordered the engineer
to put on more steam, and the latter
pulled the throttle wide open. Then fol-
lowed a wild chase through the night.
Pursuer and pursued tore along at the
highest speed. Everybody on the cars
believed that the engineer of the pur-
suing engine was either drunk or crazy
"At last bright idea struck the en-
gineer. He recalled the fact that loco
motive can make little progress on
greasy rails. The contents of two large
cans of lard oil were poured on the
tracks from the rear of the last passen
ger coach. The idea proved good one.
Soon. the headlight of the pursuing en-
gine grew dim in the distance. When
it was safe to do so the train stopped
and backed up to solve the mystery. A
very funny sight was revealed.
"One of the finest engines of the road,
called the 'Davy Crockett'-they gave
the locomotives names in those days in
stead of numbers-ha6 broken away
from hostler up at Williamsport and
started down the track on voyage Of
destruction. The oil poured on the track
had baff1ed all the destructive abilities
that locomotive possessed. There stood
the 'Davy Crockett putting and snortng
like Texas Steer, the driving wheels
buzzing around on the creased track
like a f1ywheel in a machine shop, but
harly moving an inch."-St. Louis Globe

LONG HILL IMPROVEMENT.
Selectmen of Woodbridge and New Ha-
ven Can't Agree

Selectmen of Woodbridge and New Ha-
ven Can't Agree.
The negotiations which have been I'M
der way for some time between the
towns of New Haven and Woodbridge
have been abandoned, and each town
will go it's own way and follow its own
inclinations in regard to the improve
ments which it has under considera-
ton
1t was proposed that the towns should
make some extensive improvements on
Long Hill. 1t was proposed to cut it
down very materially and to use the
material thus gained in filing in at the
bottom of the hill The total cost was
to be about $4,000 and New Haven
thought that it should not pay over
one-half of the cost Woodbridge, on
the other hand, believes that New Ha-
ven should pay two-thirds.
This is where they split and there is
no prospect of any further negotiations
New Haven contends that while there
Is a little longer stretch of road in that
town than in Woodbridge, it is perfect
ly easy work, while the improvements
in the town of Woodbridge were more
complicated and would cost very much
more. The New Haven selectmen
thought that the greatest portion of the
benefit would be to Woodbridge
Selectman Lewis of Woodbridge has
notified Town Agent Hugo of New Ha-
ven that Woodbridge is going to pro,
coed with the improvement of its road
in it's own way.

CRICKE1ING IN ENGLAND.
Philadelphia Players Arrive at Oxford
and Eptertaip Tba,osalyas


and Entertain Themselves.
Oxford. June 6.-The Philadelphia criek-
eters arrived here about noon to-day. No
one met them and they spent the afternoon
quietly, either strolling through the uni
versity grounds or lolling at ease and en-
joying the hot weather There does not
seem to be much interest in the match
among the townspeople, who have been re-
lied upon to furnish good gate.
The present prospects are for fast wick
ct tomorrow, although Biddle and one or
two other members of the American team
f faor not nc yet fully ree9Tsred from the ef
confident that they will give a good account
of themselves. The oxford team, while
very much improved since the opening Of
the season, evidently stands in some awe of
the Philadelphians because of their achieve
ments over the Australians last year.
Christ Church College Cricket ground is
the only ground where gate money can be
charged in oxford, and the present match
Is the only one of the 1897 season where
the university dons will allow money TAX
ing.
oxford's team is somewhat differently
made up from what it was when it sus-
tanned defeat at the hands of the Surrey
cricketers last week by five wickets. Bards-
well, Fame and Fox have been replaced by
r. II. Foster, l.. G. Matthews and B. o.
hanson, the rest Of the team being f. H.
f. Cunliffe r. S. Waddy, J. G. Hartle, G..
Bromley, Martin A. Eccles, Il. C. Hender-
son and +, Fl. b; Champaign. Cunliffe and
Hartle are considered the best two anna
teur bowlers In England, which may be I'M
derstood when 1t is said that last week
Abel for Surrey was In so minutes for four
runs. The new men are expected to do as
well as those they replace, Boswell cap
tain of the Oxford team retres because of
a spraned thumb.
The Philadelphia team for tomorrow, &C.
cording to the arrangement tonight will
be as follows Bolly, Biddie, Bolen, Clark,
Coates, King. Lester, Patterson, Raston,
Thayer and Wood.
The American visitors are pretty gener-
ally expected to win 1t is also believed
that later on they will defeat Cambridge,
but it is not thought that they will be
equally successful in their other matches.
Their programme is ambitious, but it does
not include an all-England or represent
alive team. This is doubtless a wise step
! on their part, though disappointing to En-
glish cricketers, who would have liked to
see what Philadelphia could have accom-.
plished against an all-England team.
