TOOK A COLD SHOWER BATH.
New and Elderly Pupil stayed
Under Ii Nearly Fifteen Minutes.

A gentleman about 60 years Of age en-
tered a gymnasium and physical cul-
ture school in Brooklyn the other day
and announced his intention of becom-
ing a pupil to build himself up" re-
ports the New York Times After hard
exercise for an hour it is customary for
each pupil to take a warm or cold
shower bath and then be rubbed down
by an attendant with coarse towels,
thus promoting the circulation Of the
blood and putting the body in healthy
glow. The shower bath is in n small
compartment, and the pupil enters ana
closes the door, manipulating the spig-
OTIS TO suit himself, while the attendant
waits outside until he is through.
The elderly pupil was told after his
first lesson that he had better take n
cold shower, and he entered the com
partment and closed the door. The at
tendant waited for nearly 10 minutes
outside, and wondered what the man
was doing, as he could hear the cold
water running, but no other sound.
Finally from the compartment came
the chattering query: How longmust
l stay in this place? I'm freezing"
The new pupil was promptly rescued
and resuscitated, and it was explained
TO him that it was not customary for a
man to stay under the shower longer
than two or three minutes on a cold
winter day.

GLAD HE WAS NOT LIKE THESE.
Had No Use for Those Who Always
Talked of Their TroubIes.

AAIhSu
Il haven't any sympathy for these
people who are always complaining and
whining" remarked the man with the
troubled frown upon his forehead, ac-
cording TO the Chicago Times-Herald.
In fact, believe that the men and
women who are always fancying them
selves i'll used and grumbling at other
people ought TO be confined just as
much as if they had hydrophobia or
got drunk, but there are some troubles
a man really can't help mentioning.
Now, for instance" he continued,
fretfully, Il don't suppose any man in
Chicago has more real worries than l
have. My wife tells me every night
that she's tired of hearing me talk of
them, and the other men in the Office
begin to tell funny stories just as soon
as | come around out of sheer aggra-
vation, l believe. My children run out
OF the room whenever get ready for a
nice, long, confidential chat with one
Of them, and even the dog bowls when
l get ready to talk I'm nearly always
so sad. But do not go round telling
people what martyr TO fate and other
people l am. Well, I guess not, my
friend. l haven't a particle of use
for chronic complainer."

SIBERIAN oENTLEMAN's LIFE.
Mapping and Eating Occupy IA Large
Portion OF His Time.


For five months in the year the ST.
berian man Of fashion lives in the open
air, either at the mining camp or in
the hunting field" says Thomas c..
Allen, Jr., writing of Questionable
Life in Siberia" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. HE is an early bird under
all circumstances, and invariably rises
between seven and eight o'clock, al
though he may have had but a couple
OF hours rest. Nearly every meal is
succeeded by a nap. However, dressing
operations do not take very long. for
when he retires the Siberian only di-
vests himself of his coat and boots.
Shirts are unknown in Siberia, and in
many houses beds, also. The samovar
is set on the dining-room table at eight
a. m, together with eggs, black and
white bread, sardines, jam and cakes,
etc. Breakfast is eaten. and washed
down by five or six glasses Of tea stirred
up with sugar, cream and sometimes
jam. At one o'clock dinner Is served,
and az five in the afternoon another
small meal. much like that Of the morn
ing, is taken. \ meat supper follows
at nine o'clock"

HER GOLDEN HAIR FELL OFF.
There Is a Hot Time In store for the
Inlrdrcsscr.

All faith in the efficacy of the Golf
feur's art for restoring the ravagcs Of
time on the person and features of the
fair sex has been scattered in the mind
of certain lady, says the London Tele-
graph. The lady in question had
reached that period in life when the
nut-brown tresses of youth were liber-
ally besprinlIled with the silver of adj
vancing age. a day or two ago she
received an invitation to the wedding
Of relation, and, as she had
before her the prospect Of meeting
some who had known her when she was
young and beautiful, the lady deter
mined, in order to avoid any shock TO
their feelings, TO pass half an hour in
the hands Of a coitleur, so as TO emerge
reiuvenated and respondent. She did
so and when, later ON in the day, she
came forth with golden locks and wavy
curls in the place Of her hitherto striped
couture, the good dame called down the
blessings Of Providence on the head OF
the skillful dresser.
But alas. a terrible catastrophe &C.
CURED. When, on the morrow, her
maid proceeded to comb through the
luXuriant tresses the whole came off in
her hands. and all that remained TO
show that her mistress had been TO the
hairdresscr's was the similarity be-
tween her own head and the BARRIERS
pole As for the person who effected
this deplorable metamorphosis, he may
expect lively time before long, when
the threatened case comes into court.

At the annual banquet of New York's

other night, Ferd W. Peck of Chicago
presented the plan which has already
received the sanction of the president
and the senate for raising a fund OF
S25O.00 by contribution from the
school children of the United States
to erect an appropriate monument In
Paris to the Marquis de Lafayette.
President Mckinley has consented to
serve as chairman of national com
mittee to be composed OF the COVER
nors of the several states; the senate
has already passed and the house will
probably adopt a resolution authoriz-

William olms;ed. who died recent

of a small farm to his wife. to the fa-
