UNCLEANLY MIDDLE AGES.
Period of 1000 Years When People Seldom
Bathed.

Lord Playtair has recalled the fact that
Queen Elizabeth used to write her Lord
Mayor scolding letters because he allowed
the city to grow fast; it actually con-
tanned at the time 100000 people, who,
as the. Queen wrote, became heaped to-
gether, and in a sort smothered,' and ac-
cordingly she forbade any more houses to
be built within three miles of London
and Westminster The rate of mortality
was, then 80 in 900, whereas now it is
10, and is being steadily reduced. No
one was ever a better hygienist than
Moses. The conditions which he enjoined
were those which we now seek to attain
clear air, clean water, clean food, clean
soil. The Romans also praoticed cleanIi-
ness and enjoyed good health. Unhap-
ply, between the ancients and ourselves
there was period of / 200 years when
Michelet, the historian Of the period, said
that not man or woman in Europe ever
took bath, states the Saturday Review.
Those poor middle ages are suffering
sociologist the dirty ages Lord Playfair
built cathedrals that we can not even re-
store becomingly, and gave us chivalry
and an idsel of woman's purity that is
still transforming life. Lord PIayfair
thinks he has characterized ST. Francis
when he says that ST. Francis knew moth
ing of the bath; but wonder what ST.
Francis would have thought of Lord Pay

The colors of the different races depend
upon the pigment in the epidermis espec
tally in it's deeper strata. NJ Breul, a
recent French authority, finds, according
to science, that the coloring matter is in
the interior of the epithelial cells, while
even in the negro the inter-cellular spaces
are white. The pigment itself may be
quite black, or of any shade up to d light
yellow. 1t may be confined to the nucle-
Gus, or extend over the cell. A close ex-
animation shows that it is distributed in
patches over the skin, between them the
tissue being colorless. This is true even
# the black races. although in them the
stches are close together and may not

Surprised the COWBOYS.

Before the people knew as much about
bicycles as they do now,'' the man who
ha lived pretty much all over the civil
lized world is quoted by the Detroit Free
Press as saying, "there were some funny
things happened. I'll never forget what
occurred while 1 was visiting friend of
mine running a ranch up in North Dako-
ia. A young college boy on vacation
came through there on a wheel, the first
one the cowboys had seen. Their COM
nents on the machine were amusing.
q Wonder if the burned thing bucks?'

accommodated them all, as far as posi-
bic, and the race was arranged for next
day. The send-off was like Fourth of
July celebration A flying start was
made over a straightaway course on a
we'll known trail, twenty-five miles and
return. Dick was in his gayest attire,
and when my friend gave the racers the
word there was fusillade of revolvers
mingled with yells that must have
reached the man at the turning post. OF
course, Dick forged ahead on the start,
and his partisans were jubilant, railing
at me till my watch and pin went up
against their accepted valuation. Things
had quieted down, and we had done a lot
of smoking, SO that the time seemed
short, when we saw my favorite coming
on his wheel as though an electric motor
was supplying the power. He was a
humped-up scorcher, and no mistake.
There was strong disposition to ques-
ton his claim of having gone every inch
of the route, but when Dick came In, his
mount in complete state of collapse and
Dick with both hands in the air above
his head, the crowd wilted gracefully,
and had enough to buy half interest
in the ranch.
