Stevenson was still a rather little
boy, says Chambers's journal, when
in the summer holidays, having been
reading a number of detective"
novels of a bad kind, he was passing
n Sunday afternoon along a road
which led through one of the suburbs
Of Edinburgh, and saw a deserted
house, left furnished, but without ap-
parently a caretaker. It suddenly
struck Stevenson that it would be a
very gallant thing to break into this
house. No one was in sight, and
stealing round he found it possible to
open q window at the back and SO
climb in. 1t really was u%noccupied.
and he prowled from room to DON
looking at the books and pictures in
a great excitement of spirit until he
heard as he thought a noise in the
garden. This sent him Immediately,
in an instant collapse Of courage,
under q bed, and then terror seized
him. He imagined himself pounced
upon. charged with robbery, marched
home with gives upon his wrists, and
arriving just as the family were as
sembling to attend evening service.
He burst out crying and could not
stop, and his sobs echoed in the empty
house.
He crept out wher9 he had crept
in, having done no harm to anything
except his little tender Scottish con-
science. But the spirit of adventure
was native to him, as exempliied in
the story, and also a sort of solitude,
as of a boy obliged to play by himself
for want of other pirates and burglars
to combine with.

For a 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 washing. Allow the salt to dis.
solve, OF hasten the action by stirring
it with the hand. The water should
be as cold as you have vitality tc
Withstand. Use no soap. Battle the
entire body. Do not neglect the face
and neck in the free use of salt
water. This bath has an exhilaratine
influence, tones the entire system,
and gives to the skin a healthful con.
dition that amply repays for the time
and trouble involved. If used in the
winter it will be an excellent proven.
tive of colds, besides being a substi.
tute for face cosmetics. No chapping,
no roughness of the skin and no clog
ging of the pores will trouble the per-
son who systematically and regularly
takes q bath of this sort. Ordinary
table salt or rock salt will do, but
will not do SO we'll. The sea-salt SON
tains medicinal properties not found

DAMAGE BY TEXAS FLOODS.
The Loss Placed at More Than ST.
100000, After an Official Estimate.
Results shown by a Tour of the Devas'
tated Observation-Disclosures OF Farms
Submerged Placed at 800.

wAsurxarov, D. G.. (SpeeiaD.--E. 8.
Holmes, Jr., an expert OF the Statistical
Bureau OF the Department Of Agriculture
uas Just completed a report to Mr.. HYDE
of that department, e~mbodying the results
)f a tour OF the food-devastated region OF
Texas, and making a careful estimate o.
he damage done, the aggregate Of which
be places at 81, Ala 900.
The report states that the greatest dam
age was in McLennan, Falls. Milan. Rob-
ertson, Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Wash,
ngton, Waller, Austin, Fort Bend and
Brazoria counties. The number OF farms
submerged is estimated at 800, with a to-
al area of $50 900 acres. I this area az

500, 900 ocres under cultivation, 1000 be-
ng in cotton, 1871, 400 acres In corn, lO,sVO
acres in sugar cane, and 28,60O acres In
)ther crops, with n total production In
sight equivalent to about 81, $50. 600.
Although nearly ninety per cent. OF the
.otal loss occurred in the destruction OF or
injury to growing crops, the damage TO
arm property and the losses of live stock.
Ste, amount to the large sum OF ssii 600.

Mr.. Holmes says that the precise effect
IL the food upon this years crops is difi-
,ult to estimate. While the crops over Il
arge area we're practically destroyed, the
effect Of the rains on the upland crops wilt
Je highly beneficial, and should. he thinks,
'esult In a large increase In yield through
he entire central part of the State, and so
much OF the western part as is under
cultivation. He says, however, that
/ conservative estimate of the act
lal destruction includes about 227,-
700 bales of cotton, representing at an
average price OF ~ cents a pounds about
rs, 100, 900; 400, 900 bushels OF corn, worth
1t twenty cents a bushel $3.50 900; sugar

Admiral Wanted to Take Luzon Capita
at Time of yirginius AFFAIR.

WASHINGTON. D. C. (Special).-In con.
nection with Admiral Dewey's home-com-
ing, an interesting historical coincidence
has been discovered. When the yirglnlus
affair brought the United States and Spain
to. the verge OF war, in 1873, Admiral
Dewey, then a Commander, was in COM
mand of the Narragansett, which was en-
gaGel in ocean survey work in the Pacific.
1t has been learned that there is on file
in the Navy Department n letter from him,
dated on board the Na~rragansett, and ask
ing to be assigned to the duty Of taking
Manila in the evens of war with Spain.
A search will be made for the letter In
the files of the Navy Department and ii
found an effort nay be made by the loca'
Citizens Committee to have it reproduced
as q souvenir Of the coming reception tc
admiral Dewey, which will include the
presentation of the sword voted TO him by
Congress. A formal letter OF acceptance
and approval ofthe reception has been re-
ceived from the dmiral by the Chairman
and Secretary OF the Citizens Committee.
