In the mountains near Wilkesbarre


In the mountains near Wilkesbarre,
Pa, Pennsylvania judge has sum
mer cottage, and there he recently
had an adventure. While out on a
stroll he met a bear, also on stroll.
The judge says he first thought it
was calf, but when he found it was
bear he strolled more hastily. 80
did the bear, and in short time the
judge found himself on the edge Of a
cliff, while the bear sat down, ten
feet away and eyed him curiously and
the judge thought-hungrily. Then
an inspiration came to the Judge, says
local informant. Lifting his voice
to the utmost limit, he recited the
declaration of independence. The bear
was at first plainly amazeds then he
seemed to be bored, and twice he
yawned. Finally, he dozed, and then
awakening with start, assumed a
look of disgust, gave another prodig-
ious yawn and trotted back into the
woods. 1t was poor tribute to the
judges elocution, but he did not COM
plain.

DOBATHS REALLYPAY
QUEER CONUNDRUM HAS LATE
LY RISEN.
A Commentator Makes Bold to Say,
That and Water Are a Positive Hind
rance to CleanlIness-A Very Lively
Discussion. q

Writing of universities l am remind
cd OF baths-wh1ch are apt to be small
and ill-supplied with water at those
places-and of a discussion anent them
to which l listened the other day, says
writer in the Pail Mall Magazine.
You remember (or you ought to re-
member) passage in "Pendennis" in
which Thackeray remarked on the in
feriority of old buildings in the matter
of baths and water. Gentlemen, there
can be little doubt that your ancestors
were the Great Unwashed; and in the
temple, especially, 1t is pretty certain
that only under the greatest difficulties
and restrictions the virtue which has
been pronounced to be next to godli-
ness could have been practiced at ALL"
But 1t is by no means certain that con-
nection between baths and cleanliness
1s SO close and constant as Thackeray,
in the pride OF the improvements" of
which his generation boasted even
more than ours, supposed to be the
case. Somebody at this discussion
said that baths were a'luxury, stimu-
lus and refreshment, but were not
cleansing process; especially did he
deny this attribute to the cold tup OF
the morning. Another person went
further (some one will always go
further) and expressed the reactionary
belief that baths were hindrance to
cleanliness, because they interfered
with the natural action OF the skin.
which does the business more thor
oughly. Water. he said, did not so much
matter; soap was the enemy and the
morning tub, II 1t were of the sketchy
and soapless kind, was innocuous. AS
for me, did not know what to think.
I seldom do when arguments are going
about. l remember that as an infant
was soaped all over continually, and
I'm not aware Of worse skin than other
people-more interesting revelations.
So that will not give it as No. Of my
Hints to Mothers" that they should
never have their babies washed. On
the other hand, we see numbers of peo-
pie In this and other countries who
appear to be quite clean, but who
| would regard a bath as novel and
dangerous experiment. Man was orig
inally amphibious-wa he not?-and
| many OF us have an instinct for cold
| water-many for hot, also. The ac-
tual practice of the morning tub, OF
which Pen and Warrington were so
proud. came, l suppose. from Anglo
Indians. and 1t is possible that but for
them it would not have occurred to US.

THE WHIPPING POST.
Ancient Institution Growing In Favor
with Advanced HuIaanitarians.

with Advanced Hu1nanitarians.
Delaware has received much criti-
cism on account of the whipping-post
law, which has been in force some
years in that state. On Saturday nine
men were publicly whipped at New
Castle for the crimes Of burglary and
petit larceny, in the presence of about
500 people. There was no pretense
about the punishment. The lash was
laid on according to the manner pro-
vided by the law. 1t is easy to say
harsh things about punishment in this
form, and the so-called humanitarians
and the supersensitive have not been
sparing in their condemnation. THERE'S.
however, another side of the case. Inc
fact that Delaware has tried this
method Of punishment, and refuses to
repeal the law, is evidence that ex-
perience has shown that it is not ad-
visable to abolish the whipping-post.
There is nothing more valuable in the
study of crime than experience in find
ing out what method of punishment is
best adapted to certain cases. Della
ware has concluded that applying the
cat-o'-nine-tails to thieves is better
than locking them in jail for six
months and feeding them at the states
expense. There is a law in Baltimore
that provides for the punishment OF
wife-beaters by fiogging, but such is the
feeling here that but three men have
been whipped for this. one Of the most
brutal crimes, in over ten years. The
warden of the Jail few days ago en-
phatically declared that the only way
to stop men from beating their wives
is to string them up to the whipping
post and fog them. Such punishment
does not compare in brutality to that
Of strong man beating weak and
defenseless woman. If some OF the
tender hearted could see in the police
court the condition OF some of the
women who have been thus maltreated
their views might be different. Crime
cannot be studied at long range. and
only through the medium of books. The
opinion Of wardens and other experts.
who have to deal directly with crimi-
mails, is Of vastly more Importance than
the theories Of the supersensitive ana
the extreme humanitarian. The pun
ishment Of a wrongdoer must be made
to fit the crime, II society and the state
are to be Observation-Disclosures Ameri-

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
The Speaker Thought 1t Was His Own
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is a story which Representative Eddy,
of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has a sense of hui
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
I'm making the campaign, in my district
one year." said Mr.. Eddy, 81 took along as
an attraction a veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was famous hand
at beating the drum. He was a drummer
from away back and could arouse a whole
township. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captains
drumming was particularly stirring.
well, one night, after the captain drum
had given the usual overture, commenced
my speech to the populace which had been
lured to the scene by his drum. / noticed
at the foot of the rostrum, the same being
a big dry goods box, a bright-eyed little
fellow about y years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten.
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience of adults, but it
takes a genius to hold a child.
so, after the speaking, | went down and
spoke to the little fellow, and after shaking
hands with him asked him how he liked my
speech.
