Dips In water Made Frnnrant by
w aud Herbs.

For hardening aud Streugtheuihg the
giuscles of neck, shoulders. arms and
limbs nothing is more enicacious than
a bath Of flowers OF 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 y%iolets, hay flow
ers, oat straw, shave grass and pine
sprig-these form the foundation of
the flower or herb bath. and couse-
quently excursions TO the garden, the
field or the hay rack will he in order
in summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by a cold shower and
n 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-half 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 il 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 oue-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 il
purifies the stomach: externally In the
bath it washes away and dissolvcs all
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance, in cases of
violent bleeding at the nose a decoc-
tion of shave grass drawn up into the
nostrils gives immediate relief. A sup
ply Of shave grass should be kept in
every home dispensary. that in time of
need ii 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 n
pine-sprig bath is on the skin. which is
brought into activity by il. and on the
blood vessels. which il strengthens.
Moreover, il 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.
A word apropos of the duration of
such tubbings. A warm flower bath
may last ~one-quarter hour, followed by
a cold shower lasting possibly one
minute, no longer. Flower and herb
baths may be taken two or three times
a week.-Eleanor Lexington, in Amer
lean Queen.

Cloth Dyed on Both sides.

In England "A new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth a different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for a lining. At first it
is dyed through in the usual manner.
1t is then taken to a printing machine
provided with a roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over its surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up TO the cloth. 1t is SO
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
is finished in the ordinary way.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

TAN AND
The Light Not the Hent of the sun Re-
sponsfblc for Them.

While il was formerly believed that
the suns heat was responsible for tan
and sunburn, il has now been proven
that it is the light of the sun which
colors the skin. Persons exposed to
sunlight on mountain tops, at low tenn
perature, are burned as il they had
~ dergone heat as well. Painful burns
often result from light reflected from
Snow and water. Persons exposed TO
severe heat in mines, tirerooms of steam
err and rolling mills do not become
tanned in the same manner as those
working In the sun. The present the
DRY is that the actinic rays Of sunlight
produce tan or sunburn. These rays
affect chemically certain substances
upon which they fall. Blue or violet
rays have much greater effect upon n
sensitive plate than red rays, and
tn!s is also true of the human skin.
Red glass allows red light rays to pass
through 1t freely and rejects the COM
Elementary blue rays. Blue glass adj
inits blue or violet rays and excludes
red, A red fabric would be the most
effective protection against sunburn.
Blue is a most undesirable color for
wells. A woman, a member of a party
OF tourists, wore a striped red and white
waist during a long exposure to suns
rays. She found herself burned in
stripes, the white affording no protec-
ton, as all rays pass through it. The
pigment or coloring matter of the skin
is the portion which receives the chem
ical action of the sunlight. 1t is not
definitely known why some people
burn red, while others freckle or tan.
The darkening of the skin is an effort of
nature 10 protect the sensitive parts
beneath. The darker the surface upon
which sunlight falls, The more difficult
1t is for it to penetrate. Wind and
heat by irritating the skin sometimes
produce congestion which predisposes
10 the effect of the suns rays.-Chicago

XVIII.

One soft, warm evening in early June
quite a family party had gathered on
the yeranda of the old white homestead
al Pass Christian. The air was rich with
the fragrance of jasmine and magnolia;
a great bunch of roses lay on the little
table beside the reclining chair, where,
propped up with pillows, Mrs. Walton
was placidly enjoying the beauty of the
moonlit scene and rapturously contem-
plating the stalwart form OF her soldier
son. 1t was too much-it was too soon

The Crime Was Committed in Lam,
pazaS Last February and He
Sought Refuge in the United
States He Had a Friend
Here In San Antonio.

After successfully lodging the Off
GERS for several weeks, l,amOn Gar
cha was arrested last Friday in Lare-
do and is now III the BeXar county
Jail. He is wanted in Mexico on
charge of murder and is held here
while eXtradition papers are being for
warded. Garcia arrest was effected
by Estevan SandOval, who was sent
to Laredo by Sheriff Campbell He
was in San Antonio for several days
up to March 10, in hiding at the house
of a friend who is a barber in this
city. When he learned that his pres
ence here was known he lost no time
in making himself scarce. SandOval
with six others had been watching
night and day since last Wednesday
for their man and he was caught in
little house in Laredo by Leonardo
Garcia. When arrested he told the
officers that they had the wrong man
and gave his name as Nicolas Flores,
but Sandoval was onto his game, and
he then admitted that he was the man
they were after.
Garcia is a butcher. about 33 years
of age, and is charged with killing his
wife on February 20 last in Tampa
EOS, Mex. 1t is said that he was
drunk at the time and in a quarrel
with her he stabbed her. He was not
too drunk, however, to take the first
horse he could get and ride to the
border, He crossed the Rio Grande
and came to the United States for ref
uge. He was in Rio Salado for several
days. then went to Encinal, Tex, and
from there came to San Antonio. He
then went to Austin and returned to
this city and from here went to La
redo.
Garcia has been married to the wO-
man he killed for two years, although
he had lived with her about nine
years.
The penalty of the crime he is
charged with is death. and the death
sentence in Mexico is to be shot. The
Mexican officers are expected here to
morrow to take Garcia to Mexico to
stand trial.

DAVIS CLAIM REJECTED.
The Only Relief He Has Is
To Bring Suit.
EUGENE DAVIS WANTS Sis AS
ARBlTER IN THE COURT
HOUSE MATTER.
The Commissioners Referred 1t to
The County Attorney, Who Says
That Mr.. Davis is Entitled to
as Much Compensation as
Is Mr.. Shields,

A claim of Eugene Davis against
BeXar county for $175 for services
rendered as arbitrator in matters per-
tanning to the new courthouse. was
rejected by the county commissioners
yesterday in accordance with an Opin-
ion of the county attorney, to whom
the matter had been referred. County
Attorney DeWitt's opinion in this
matter is as follows:
The record shows that the arbitra-
tors in the ward are silent as to who
should pay the costs, The statute saws
when the award is silent the costs
shall be taxed equally against both
parties. The county of BeXar paid
her full share of the costs. Mr.. Kroe-
ger paid nothing. All the money paid
by the county was turned over to Mr..
Shields who had been chosen arbitra-
tor in behalf of the county. This. in
my opinion, was an error. The costs
paid regardless of who paid them
should have been pro rated equally
amongst the persons to whom they
were due. If Mr.. Davis used due dill
igence in presenting his claim, it
seems to me he was as much entitled
to compensation as his colleague, Mr..
Shields. Each should have received
one-half the amount which was paid
in, but in no event is the county liza
bic for more than the amount of costs
incurred by herself. l can suggest no
method of relief to Mr.. Davis, but suit
against Mr.. Shields for one-half the
money wrongfully paid to him by the
county. Mr. Kroeger is liable for
One-half the costs incurred and Mr.
Davis has the right to demand that
execution issue for their collection for
the benefit of the persons to whom
they are due"
