SORT OF BATH TO TAKE.
An Important Ceremony That Is too
often Rushed Through.

This is the time of the year when
our cold bath begins to feel as II 1t
were living up to its name so it may
not be amiss to speak bit upon the
subject. First of all, cold bath, as
many suppose, is not necessarily water
as it comes from the faucet. In point
of fact, it is any bath of a temperature
below 50 degrees. Strange as it may
seem, some people far from strong
have been driven to plunging into icy
water just because some other persons
sang the praises of the cold bath so
loudly and persistently. The people
who in cases of illness used to fairly
Shrek at the thought or mention Of
a bath, are even getting educated. Not
that great care isn't necessary. In
deed, it is in all bathing, and the bath
thermometer should be used by both
sick and well. OF course, an invalid
is only bathed according to the physi-
clans instructions. The bath is a
boon. Anyone who has tossed and
turned in nervous unrest knows the
soothing powers of the sponge bath.
Each part must be sponged and dried
thoroughly and covered. The arms,
and legs in turn, then the back, then
the chest, then the abdomen. This,
with ice on the head, will even quiet
delirium. AS for our ordinary, every
day bathing, we must decide which
gives us the best results. A hot bath
is least injurious taken on going to-
bed. They are weakening, however,
and should not be too often INDUCED
in; perhaps one a week. A hot bath
means a temperature of 100 or 10 de-
grees. A warm bath means anything
from 30 to 100 tepid ranges from 80 to
80, while cold is anything below so.
Never stay in over fifteen or twenty
minutes; ten is enough for most Of
us. The morning is the best time for
the daily bath, and those who find the
plunge or the shower too much for
them, should consider the sponge bath
Many who are exhausted or chilled by
other sorts of baths would find this a
splendid tonic. 1t is more work,
though. We do not consider these
things enough, and are prone to for
get that bathing is or an Importance
on a par with our food. Above all, let
us take the sort of bath which is most
beneficial Wisconsin.

CHAPTER VII.

For several minutes Rob stood there
in the dark cavern looking at the thin
streak of light that came in through
a chink by the side of the blockad-
ing rock, with terrible sense of ter
ror. He was literally buried alive.
He did not know how often the
smugglers, or pirates or whatever the
gang might be, came to this place.
II their visits were limited to such
times as the BLACK Cat" brought car
goes of smuggled goods. then it was
certain that he would be confined there
for weeks. and perhaps months, and
that meant that he would die there.
When the full sense Of the disaster
broke upon him, his boyish heart
throbbed with fear AS young and
healthy American, he loved life. He
loved his mother, and he had looked
forward to the day when, having by
skill and attention to his uncle's busi-
ness. won wealth and position, he
could make a comfortable home for
that dear mother. for which she would
not be beholden to any one for char
fly. To die with this brilliant proc
pect before him would be hard. But

THE SPINSTER GIRL.
SHE OF TO-DAY COMPARED WITH
SHE OF OTHER DAYS.
One OF the Most Remarkable Social
Developments of the Age - Girls Are
Now Young when They Are Thirty
In Her Prime ut 40. A

One of the most remarkable social
developments Of these latter days is
the evolution of the mature heroine OF
romance, says the London Worlc'
Formerly this post was allotted to the
young girl or the young woman. In
those times, moreover, the adjective OF
youth would not have been applied to
the maiden who had passed her 25th
year and only in the spirit of the gross
est flattery to the matron who had
seen her three decades. 1t is typical OF
the age that this explanatory note
should be necessary. Now the express
sion young" is purely relative. The
period of middle age has been entirely
abolished. Where almost everybody Is
younger than somebody else 1t Is only
the few who are proud of their extreme
antiquity who can be regarded with
any degree of certainty as old. At ~
the girl of today no longer retires ON
the shelf as a failure, to pass the rest
of her life in the humiliating position
of the maiden aunt who devotes her.
self to the children or revenges herself
on the poor. She is merely preparing
to start on a new phase of life with a
more definite plan and a clearer vision.
Very often she marries and begins
afresh at 40. Sometimes she has been
known to be so greatly daring as to
enter on matrimony for the first time
when she has passed her 50th year.
For the matron the range is even more
extended. At 30 she is quite young
thing gay, frivolous, skittish, to
whom society and filtration are the
chief objects in life. Ten years more
bring her to her prime. 1t is the period
of fascination, of adventure, of i'm
pulse. The woman of 40 is capable OF
anything. She is the object of the
widest plans, the center of the most
daring romance. At so she is probably
marrying for the second time. Three
score will find her approaching the
altar for her third wedding, and If she
lives long enough she may even reap
pear at later date to bring her record
up to four.

The caverns were as still as death, ex-
cept for the trickling water on the
rocky walls. Rob cruched In his
to him almost an entire day.
His limbs ached. His face was sore
from Torrevo's blows. His hands had
swollen from the excessive labor ne
had performed. The WEAKNESS at last
overcame him. First he fought against
the drowsiness, then welcomed 1t, Tor

fast asleep.
How long the boy slept he did not

start, and wondered how long he mad

toward the entrance to the caverns.
Then he made discovery that made
his heart almost stand still.
The entrance had been closed with
a great stone.
He was locked in.

But smothered torch gives no light,
and Rob could not feel that he was
any better off than before. He had
never learned to smoke, and therefore
carried no matches. If he only had
a match!
Suddenly it occurred to him that he
did not have on his own clothes, but
the fantastic garments given him by
Captain Torreyo, Of the BLACK Cat"
Instinctively he felt in the pockets Of
his velvet jacket.
First he brought out package of
Spanish cigarettes, which he threw
away, not having any use for them.
In another pocket-oh, joy! he dis
covered a box of matches. 1t was
something to wear the jacket of a
smoker, after ALL
With feverishly trembling fingers,
Rob lighted a match and applied 1t to
the torch. In an instant it burst into
fame and lit up the gloomy cavern
around him. The smoky flame, while
n gave light enough for him to see,
made the shadows even more terrible.
And with the light held above his head
Rob gazed with strained eyes into the
inky blackness of recesses opening out
on three sides.
But Rob had been through the cav
ems when a dozen such torches had
been blazing, and he knew there was
nothing there that would harm him.
There were no wild beasts. So, bolster
ing up his courage with this one con-
soling thought. he began thorough
exploration of the place. From one
cave to another he went, closely ex-
aiming the sides, always on the alert
to catch a glimpse of what might be
another opening. But he saw none.
There were the great stores Of contra
band goods-enough to make a dozen
men rich IL sold at fair prices, but
nothing that Rob wanted.
To all the rest of his discomfort now
came the pangs of hunger. He did not
know how long he had slept: therefore
he could not judge how long he had
been in the caves. But he knew he
was very hungry.
He now applied himself to searching
for something to eat

HONEYBEE'S WINGS.
A Microscopic View of One of Natures
Wonderful Schemes.

Microscopic View OF One or Natures
Wonderful Schemes.
At meeting of the New York
Microsopical Society the president OF
the organization exhibited, besides
other things, the honeybee's wing,
showing the booklets by means of
which the lower of the two wings OF
the bee is joined to the upper wing
in flying thus making them prac-
tically single wing. The upper Of
the two wings is about half an inch
in length, the lower little shorter.
The wings come together where they
are joined to the body; they are other
wise separate. When the bee goes into
its hive, 1t folds it's wings together,
one leaf over the other, so that they
will take up less room. When it goes
abroad, it spreads its wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though 1t
had an extra plate or rib stretched
along there, and to this rib, spaced
apart at regular intervals, though tney
are all contained within a total space
of little more than a quarter OF an
inch. there are attached nineteen or
twenty tiny, bony hooks. There is
a little thickening at the base of each
hook, where nature has strengthened
IL. and one is inclined to regard the
hooks as inset separately and to look
for Hhe rivets wherewith they were
secured to the plate or rib from which
they spring. The lower edge Of the
upper wing. as looked at under the
microscope, is seen to be curled up into
a fiange or trough. When the bee
comes out of the hire, 1t hooks the
hooks on the upper edge Of the lever
wing into the fange or trough at the
lower edge of the upper wing and
SO makes the two wings practically
one.-New York sun.
