ThacLeray and the Cabman.

Thackeray loved to relate Jokes on
himself, and one he especially enjoyed
was about Reading hackman The
author was unacquainted with the
town, and the moment he emerged
from the railway station he told a
hackney coachman to drive him TO the
nearest hotel. The driver closed the
door tremendously, mounted his box
and they started. In half a minute the
cab was at a standstlll and Thackeray
saw the cabman at the door, bowling
to him to come out. He did so with
out a word. and found that he was at
the portico of the station hotel. which
he had failed TO see was not dozen
yards off.
But he handed'the man a shilling and
was entering the hotel rather pleased
with his own sang froid, when he was
amazed To see the cabman taking off
his coat and loffering to fight him
for the other siXpense." 1t appears
that on that fday n resolution Of the
Reading town council had come into
operation empowering hackney coach
men to charge eighteenpence for any
distance within the township. This
was its first fruits. 1t is unnecessary

Salt water Baths.

For hand bath Ia bath given to the
body by use OF the hands only or by
sponge or cloth place a handful OF salt
in a basin as ordinarily filled for wash
ing. Allow the salt TO dissolve or has
ten the action by stirring 1t with the
hand. The water should be as cold as
you have vitality TO withstand. Use
no soap. Battle the entire body. Do
not neglect the face and neck in the
free use of the salt water.
This bath has an eXhilarating lnflu-
ence, tones the entire system and gives
to the skin a healthful condition that
amply repays for the time and trouble
involved If used in the winter, il
will be an excellent preventive OF
colds, besides being a substitute for
face cosmetics. No chapping. no
roughness OF the skin and no clogging
of the pores will trouble the person
who Systematically and regularly
takes a bath of this sort.
Ordinary table salt or rock salt will
do, but will not do so well. The sea
salt contains medicinal properties not
found in the others. Whether one ex-
ercises or not the body should receive
q daily hand bath Of cold or cool wa
ter, especially in the summer. either
upon rising or before retiring. Ed

The Army Canteen.

Judge SimOnton, OF Harrisburg, Pa,
has decided that an army canteen for
the sale Of liquor To soldiers cannot be
carried on without regular license
from the courts This decision was
made in the case OF two men who were
arrested on complaint Of the Anti-Sa-
loon League OF the state for maintain
ing canteen at Camp Meade. Coun-
sci for the defendants argued that they
were acting under instructions of the
commandant OF the camp, who was
acting under authority OF military law.
Judge Simonton said that he did not
recognize such IL law when in conflict
with the law OF the state: that the
United States had no authority To IS
sue license TO sell liquor in the states.
He directed the jury to find verdict
of guilty and then suspended sentence.
At the same time he notified all con-
cerned that If there were any more vic.
lations OF the law he would sentence
them all. The commandant OF the
camp promised that the canteen would
be suppressed.

Growth of Golf.

The growth OF golf in this country
can best he judged by reference to
the number Of players, says the New
York Times. A few years ago such a
thing as a golf stick was scarcely heard
Of and the few links that existed We're
in the west. Now there are in the
United States no fewer than 200
players. or practically twice as many
as ia Great Britain, the home Of the
game. Sticks are daily in evidence,
and links are numerous The men from
the west. too have within that time
been forced TO bow down 10 the eastern
ers. who are now the acknowledged
champions in this country and are rap
idly nearing the state of perfection Of
the old country players, But while the
growth in numbers has been so great il
has been too great for the good of the
links. In other words. in order to keep
pace with the tremendous and sudden
growth in the number of players links
have been Impoverished, as il were, in
a day. The result is that there are in
the United States only very few real
ly first class links and certainly very
limited number that can at all begin TO
compare with the English and Scottish
links. However, all this will no doubt
be remedied in few seasons. after
which il might not be bad idea to try
TO inaugurate an annual golf contest
between the old country and the United
States teams.

Apropos OF the bugs and things in
whiskey, the following extract from "A
recent sermon by the Rev. Il. Dewitt
Talmage will be OF interest:
A celebrated doctor of France has
recently discovered something which
all drinkers ought to know. He has
found out that alcohol in every shape,
whethe of wine or brandy or beer, con-
tains parasitic life, called bacillus
potumana. BY powerful microscope
these living things are discovered, and
when you take strong drink you take
them into the stomach and then into
your blood, and getting into the Grim
son Goals OF life they go into every It's
sue OF your body, and your entire or
ganism is taken possession of by these
noxious infinitesimals. When in de-
lirium tremens "a man sees every form
Of reptilian life, il is only these para
sites OF the brain in exaggerated size.
1t is not u hallucination that the vic
tim is suffering from. He only sees 10
the room what is actually crawling and
rioting in his own brain. Every time
you take strong drink you swallow
these maggots, and every time the i'm
biber Of alcohol in any shape feels YER
tigo or rheumatism or nausea, it is
only the jubilee of these maggots. Ef-
forts are being made for the discovery
OF some germicide that can kill the
parasites OF alcoholism, but the only
thing that will ever eXtirpate them is
abstinence, To which | would before
God swear all young men and old.

Two Big Baseball Leagues.

There Is plenty of room for two eight
| club leagues in this great and glorious
country and such cities as Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia and St Louis
are large enough to support teams in
each circuit, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser In the big cities it
is an all day job to go to a ball game.
For instance, in Chicago. with the Ma
tional league park in its present loca
ton and another strong league having
grounds on the South Side, the attend
ance would not be visibly affected at
the League park. 1t will be very easy
to start baseball war, but it will be
much easier and better for all concerned
TO get together and have an understand
ing before the new project is fairly
launched 1t will be bitter pill to
swallow for the monopolists who now
control the game. but there is surfeit
of good players and ii would do little
good for the old clubs to seize the best
talent in the new league by paying
fancy salaries. as such action would
displease the public, the players would
be stamped as traitors, and even then
their places could be well filled from
the ranks of the minor leagues with
fair prospects of developing fast and
dangerous teams. A war is all right in
its place, but diplomacy is far better in
the approaching crisis in baseball af
fairs, and when the new league APP
proaches the condition that forestalls
an extended lease of life it will be
great surprise if peace treaty is not
drafted and everything arranged salts
factorily to the ones who dare to enter
the field that has so long been occupied
by the present incumbents, the men
who have hurt the game far more by
their chickering's than it has ever suf-
fered as the result of rowdyism on the
fold
