How to Battle.
rom the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
How many people know how to take a
bath properly In these days when personal
hygiene has taken its place as an exact
science and health is considered the great
secret of beauty. In the dark ages the re-
juvenatng properties of the bath were dis
covered by famous beauties, who perpetu-
ated their charms by decoctions used in the
bath to improve the skin, but the result of
cleanliness, so important now an aid to
health. was not the aim of the fair bather
in the olden time.
The hygienic bath is the one that is most
in demand at the present time, and tepid
water is the most likely to agree with all
lated by common sense. Because the BROTH
er of the athletic girl can take a bath every
morning before breakfast with a cold
douche and a brisk rubbing, it does not fol-
low that the same method is wise for the
sister. She may suffer with languor or
headache, because, although she is an ath-
letic girl, her life and pursuits are very diff
ferent from his. She may find a restful hot
bath at night more conducive to sleep and
agreeing better with her constitution
Nervous people should never take a bath
until noon or night. All the forces of life
are at low ebb in the morning, and the
bath requires an outlay of strength they
cannot give. Never remain too long in
either a hot cold bath, the maximum
bath within TWO or three hours after eating
hearty meal. If you are young you will
have a rush of blood to the head or a blind
Ing headache, If old YOU place yourself in
danger OF stroke of apoplexy. Wet the
head, the back of the neck and the wrists
before going into the bath. The Japanese
revel in hot tubs. and the best cooler on a
summer day of intense heat is the hot bath
with nap afterward. Use plenty of fric-
ton, very little soap and no perfumery,

Great, astonishing and mystifying all.
Frederick had many great qualities but
the greatest of them all was economy.
This was the standing subject Of humor
and conversation among his people, much
as the weather ID with u.s. On one occa-
sion, as ne rode through Berlin's streets,
he saw jolly crowd around a poster on
the WALL His orderly was directed to see
what 1t was. 1t was the effort of an anna
teur cartoonist, representing the king on a
stool, with coffse-mill between his knees,
grinding with one hand and reaching the
other to pick up a stray grain escaped to
the floor Orderly made his report, and
asked II he should tear 1t down. "Oh, no."
said the sensible old king, hang 1t little
lower. so they won't have to crane their
necks So" But the automaton got the bet
ter Of Frederick's economical instincts He
got SO interested in the unexplained mys-
terry That he bought at a large figure the
interesting creature, only to find that, like
the highiander's rundown watch, "she
died last night"
When Napoleon entered Berlin in 1906
somebody thought of the neglected Turk,
END MaelZel, a clever mechanic, was or
dered to inspect and repair the dusty old
enigma. From cobwebbed dreams of King
Fritz and the brave empress the veteran
chess player was awakened to encounter
greater man, fresh from the field of recent
victories. OF this remarkable meeting his
tory has been faithfully preserved by an
eye witness.
The emperor signifed his wish to do bat
arranged a second table near that of the
Turk, proposing to repeat the moves on
both tables. Napoleon Enthusiastically
struck his hand on the automatons board
and exclaimed: II will not contend at
distance! We fight face to face"
grave nod indicated the Turks assent,
and the game began. The emperor was
disastrously vanquished. Shortly afterward
second exhibition ordered On this
occasion Napoleon placed a large magnet
on the automaton's board Maelzel smil-
ingiy moved the iron SO as not to embar
rass the game. The Turk played with his
usual SKILL the fatal "echec" (check) was
heard again and again, and a second time
Napoleon was defeated.
The pieces were no sooner rearranged
than Napoleon quietly removed a shawl
from the shoulders of a lady near by, and
with great care enveloped the face. neck
and body of the Turk, completing his ar
rangements with an exclamation Of salts
faction. With a muff1ed nod. the Moslem
agreed to the new conditions. and for the
third time victory declared for the Turk.
For moment the emperor regarded his
antagonist: then, with gesture Of scorn,
he swept the men from the board, crying,
"Bagatelle,' strode over knight and pawn
and out of the room. The game is ap
pended, and the locals will recognize Ma
poieon as the inventor Of the queens at
tack.
