Regarding the proper time for bath
a simple general rule may be given
Take cold baths on rising in the morn
ing ard warm ones just before retiring.
In taking Turkish or Russian baths
the hour need not be considered, ex-
cept as in all baths. none of which
should be taken less than an hour or
SO before or after meals. Where it is
possible, use fresh. clean rain water
for the bath. This Is the nearest APP
proach to distilled water, which is too
expensive for general use. Soft water
is next best to rain water, and little
borax or ammonia In hard water will
soften it. Brisk rubbing should all
ways follow bath; then the bath will
do all that is claimed. for.itrin the way
OF renovating the person. invigorating
the system, increasing the fineness and
softness Of the skin, and making one
look and feel younger. q Cleanliness Of
the skin has great effect on the gem
eral health. and 1t Is well known that
II one as been exposed to injection
the best thing to DO by way OF precau-
ton is to take hot bath Immediately.
It is mistake to remain too long in a
tepid bath. Thirty minutes should be
the limit. Throughout the winter and
early spring it is best II one is at all
liable to chills, to take ones bath at
night, just before going to bed. II
taken in the daytime. brisk exercise
Immediately afterward-either walk

Gqod rront Made by Topeka In Selling
EleetriuttY.
la the current ISSUE or the Indus
trialist, magazine published at the
stage agricultural college, there is an
exhaustive article on the Topeka elec-
trcel light plant, by Henry M. Thomas.
/. LAS evidently made thorough in
vcs igation OF the situation in Topeka
ard he arrives at the following con-
clusions: "In spite OF the mistakes
6. :. have been made. ciey ownership
ard operation OF the street lighting
system has proved paying invest
rnent to the municipality. As one re-
suit, of the experience, 1t is not un-
reasonable 10 expect that in the fu-
ture the city will exhibit great capa-
bilities Of management, and will still
further improve the service and re-
duoe the expenses. When the plant
was founded the lowest bid that had
been received from a private COM
pany was for $40 per light per month;
and while there are no data beyond
November. 1889, yet it is believed to
be near and safe approximation to
assume that the cost per lamp did not
exceed that for the thirty-eight
months Immediately following the
date just mentioned, for which time
we have already presented exact state
ments of cost. According to the ta-
BILE given, the cost per lamp per month
from November, 1889, to January, 1898,
was $S.40, which leaves difference
of SLIGO per lamp per month in favor
OF the city operation. The number
of lamps at this time was 1884, and on
the assumption that the saving just
mentioned was continuous from 1887
to 1898. there was total saving to the
city over what a contract for $40 per
light per month would have involved
Of s21, 1850. And had the same rate
of economy been prolonged up to the
time Of the rebuilding OF the plant.
the amount retained to the city would
have been the large sum Of $33,561.60.
When the building of the plant was
under contemplation the Edison COM
pany endeavored to secure the street
lighting, by representing bid for the
extremely low figure of Sc per light.
but even at this rate the city would
have suffered loss of 81 cents per
light per month, amounting, for the
year covered by this investigation, to
$2,693.52. in view of the economies eff
fected by the new apparatus. Ne

According TO the WasnluB'"'
correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript the department Of agri-
culture has taken steps toward
acquiring the right to use q recent
invention, a kind Of mutascope
camera, Desired for a kind 81
picture making never attempted
hitherto.
For example, the contriyance
is set up in front Of a stalk OF
corn just sprouting, and takes q
photograph Of it every hour for
six months, the exposures being
made at such intervals by pecu-
liar automatic attachment. Sub
sequently the film ribbon on
which these pictures are recorded
il put into a magic lantern ma
chine of the ordinary sort and run
off at the rate of thirty a second,
thus giving to the spectators in
five minutes a view on the screen
Of corn plant growing out OF the
earth, putting forth leaves, devel-
oping tassel and silk, exhibiting
the ripened ears and finally de-
caying.
Anchor this new style of cam
era in an open space; attach to it
a wire, and it will make an expos
ure every two hours from the be-
ginning to the end of the year.
The result will be ribbon Of the
seasons, and in five minutes the
spectators seated in theater will
have an opportunity to behold all
the succeeding phenomena of the
year. At first the ground will be
seen covered with snow, which
will vanish as the first vegetation
makes it appearance. The trees
will put forth leaves with visible
rapidity in the sight Of the audi
ence, and when at last they fall
and the landscape has assumed its
former dreary ASPECT the white
mantle of Jack Frost will be
spread again over the land.
One of the most interesting OF
the photographs made up to date
with this novel apparatus repre-
sents an apple tree, which is seen
in a few twinklings to display its
new foliage, put forth buds and
blossoms and ripen its fruit.
Equally notable is a picture Of q
sunfower, snap shots of which
were taken every minute from
sunrise to sunset of day. When
the ribbon is run off at the rate
Of thirty photos a second one sees
the flower turn on its stem stead
lily, always keeping its face to-
ward the solar orb. 1t should
be mentioned, by the way, that
the views do not jump about in
the way that is SO annoyingly
familiar, but are perfectly sta
tionary, owing to the fact that
each snap" registers perfectly
with the ones preceding and fol-
lowing.

BIG TROLLEY STRIKE
Bro 1klyn Rapid Transit Lines
Badly Crippled.
COMPANY WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
Men Demand Revision of the Time
Tables, Adherence to Ten Hour
Law and Payment For Over
time-POIice ON Guard.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Another troll
ley strike is ON in brooklyn. So far it
has not been as effective as the strike of
1895, but there is no telling how long or
faTeaching it may become. For some
weeks past the employees on the several
lines controlled by TIE Brooklyn Napid
Transit company have been complaining
that the management did not live up to
the ten hour law. The men demand
revision of the time tables at the differ
ent barns and also claim that they should
be paid 20 cents an hour for overtime,
which is equivalent to 81 per day, the
price which they set for a working day
of ten hours. Meetil. IS have been held
daily and nightly for the last week, and
it was inferred from the reports given
out by the employees and their advisers
since Thursday last that while strike
was imminent it would not occur for
some days to come.
General Master Workman Parsons and
District Master Workman Iynes had
charge of the mems affairs, and a strike
was called at half past Sunday morn
ing. AT that hour most of the motormen
and conductors on the Brooklyn Ira tion
company's lines had completed their
night trips, and the leaders decided that
this was the most opportune moment to
begin what was expected to be a stub
born fight with the Traction company.
heavy rainstorm was in evidence at
this time, and there was very little pas
senger traffic.
Throughout the afternoon powders
and large pieces of granite were taken
from a nearby yard and placed on the
tracks in the vicinity of Greenwood GEM
etery, and as cars came along at inter
walls of 20 and 80 minutes their farther
progress was considerably delayed until
these Instructions were removed. No
sooner did the cars pass than the bowl
ders were laid on the tracks again, and
the police were unable to stop the will
ing efforts of the obstructionsts. During
the day 300 additional police were sent
over from New York, and a close watch
was kept all along the Brooklyn bridge
to see that no person interfered with
the trolley wires.
Several arrests were made during the
day among the ranks of the strikers and
their sympathizers, but no disturbance of
a very serious nature occurred.
