A sixteenth Century Kneipp.

The late Father Kneipp had predeces-
sor in his cold water cure over three CEN
turies ago in the person of Father
George Bernard Penot, a Dominican
friar of Toulouse born near Nice about
1921. In his book ''De AquGe Naturalis,
Virtute," published in 1917, Friar PenOt
wrote: "In the morning, when the dew of
heaven gives new freshness to the earth,
thou shalt walk for two hours barefooted
and bare legged upon the grass, for the
dew is the daughter of God. 1t brings
with it a certain mysterious virtue,
which diffuseth itself in various forces
throughout the microcosm and driveth
away malign influences. Fear not that
the chill shall do thee evil, for all cold is
the source Of all heat, and water is the
vehicle of health and the paragon OF
life" Surely this is Kneippism in a nut.

unappreciated.-Tablet.

GUARDS AGAINST THEFT.
The Bank of England Buys Tips
From Clever Crooks.

All sorts of odd incidents occur in Eng
lands banking circles, where stIictest
measures are taken to protect treasure
from the robbers and burglars. Some
Of the institutions pay cash for infOrma-
ton Of, and in some cases from, the Grim
lnals themselves. The Bank of Englands
yearly budget always contains an eX-
pense item due to such outlays. The first
experiment of the kind dates back to
1850, when the directors of the bank lis
tened to n startling proposition made by
ditch digger"
The laborer told the directors that he
had discovered new and unsuspected
method of getting into the cellar vaults,
where the gold and silver bars were kept,
and that he would sell his secret to them
for money. The directors hestated, be-
heving that they had taken every precau-
ton against loss from the vaults in put
ting up heavy masonry, with plenty Of
iron bars, and by manning the building
with armed watchers, but finally they
granted the man, who seemed to talk
fairly, a chance to try his plan, and a
night was named for the undertaking.
AT the appointed time a committee Of
the directors descended to the cellar and
heard a peculiar scratching sound under
their feet. Two hours later the floor
opened, and the ditch digger bobbed up
serenely, like the evil spirit in the spec
tacular drama. All around them lay bars
of preciouRmetal, totaling in value f3,-
100000. The man explained satisfactori-
ly how it was done, and as a reward the
directors assured him an income for life
on an investment of $4,000. The crook
was content, and it is believed that he re-
mained honest ever afterward.
But other cracksmen were tempted by
his luck to try the same game, and the
directors were inundated with sugges.
tions and tips on new m, -hods of bur
| glary and how to prevent them. The
| directors tested them all and paid fol
many that proved to be of value to them

NOT VERY coNsoLING.

The teacher of English literature at select school for girls recently offered prize for the best essay on the Can terbury pilgrimage. The essays were handed in by the class fortnight ago and last Wednesday, there being spe- cial literary exercises at the school, tho best of the papers were read by their authOrs. and the prize q daintily bound Chaucer, was awarded. The teacher in literature had charge Of the exercises. and as she is by nature quite the most easily embarrassed woman l know. she was thrown into panic by the audience of fond parents who had been invited to hear the readings. However, she managed very we'll, and when she arose to award the prize she was outwardly perfectly calm and col lected. Her little speech ended with:
 And so, for these reasons, We have decided that the prize belongs right fully to"-and h. re for the fraction of second she hzSitated-"to Elizabeth Francis"
 Then she sat down. very red in the face. and the fortuhate Miss Francis received the congratulations of her much surprised friends.
 Friday the door bell of the house where Georgia Jones-of cours3, you understand these names are not to taken literally-lives was rung, and the teachers card was sent up to Mrs. Jones Georgia is 2 member of the lit erature class and had done her level best with her Pilgrimage essay. Mrs. Jones descended to the drawing 1'rom and the teacher plunged into the midst of her story.
 i've come 10 bring this Chaucer to Georgia" she Stammered. '1ts pre- cisely like tha Cna I gave 10 Elizabeth Francis. and want Georgia to have il. for Ge1rgia's essay was by far the best of thl m all. intended to give her the prize. but when I got up to make the announcement, why, all of a sudden 1 forsC- what 1 was going to say.

WORLDS LARGEST HOP YARDS.

In Sonoma, Sacramento, Mendocino, Alameda, YClo, Yuba and San Joaquin counties hops are extensively and sue ccssfUlly grown. The plantations of the state combined would form one enormous area of 7.5OO acres. a far twelve mixes square and containing more than 9.OOO,OOO hop vines, yielding in a favorable season almost 100000 worth of dried hops.
 It is not generally known, but the largest hep yards in the world are in California, along the Sacramento, Rus sian and Feather rivers. and the very biggest hop field on earth is at Pleas anton. in Alameda county, where there are 36S acres, with more than 445,000 vines under one wire.
 As the picking must all be done by hand and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best, an army of people has to be suddenly mustered for the harvest. The mild climatic conditions that favor the development of the hop and the pleasant inland val leys where it is grown. combine to make hop picking something of a sum mer time delight, for the work is nei- ther difficult nor arduous and the pay is fair.
 There are but two drawbacks to hop picking. One is so called hop poison ing. which is simply sort of prickly heat or rash sometimes produced by contact of face and arms with the net tle-like fuZZ on the stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark staining of the hands resulting from the resin of the blossom. It may be removed by rub ping with the crushed green leaves of the hOp.-San Francisco Chronicle.

In answer to the question. What must the democratic party do to be

 WHAT ton says it must repent
 TT of the crime of misce- MUST DO. genation with popultsts
 and free silver republi- cans. Has not the mixture of breeds gone too far to be cured by repent ance? It might be easy to remove Bryanarchy-in fact, that is practically removed already. But how will you lead back the tainted democracy to it's old policy of honest money, tariff for revenue only. strict construction of the constitution and a conscientious enforcement of the laws as interpreted by the courts?
 When Senator Jones of Arkansas was asked about party reorganization he replied that 'to attempt to talk about 1t twenty-four hours after an election is over strikes me as an inpertinence. It is not an impertinence, but it is to a certain extent an absurdi:y. The re- organization of a party is not some thing which can be done in week or a month. A corporation which has been carrying on business on wrong principles may be able to abandon those principles on days notice and adopt better ones. A great political party cannot about face" after such a fashion It does not deem it dig nified to do so.
 There are few prominent men calling themselves democrats among the sup porters of MT. Bryan who do not be- lieve 1t is the part of wisdom to cut loose from populism and populist and socialist doctrines But their power to banish such doctrines from the party creed will depend on the extent to which the masses of the democratic party absorbed those doctrines. Lead CTS cannot reconstruct a party with out the cooperation of the rank and file, and are slow in telling what they would like to have done until they are sure of followers.
 There will be no haste about the for mutation of new principles for the democracy. There is no need of haste. There will be no elections involving national issues until 1902. Three and a half years must go by before the next democratic national convention meets. By that time new issues may have arisen. The policy of the 'epublican party in future congresses may fur nish the democrats campaign material which they may consider of more value than any of the demands" in their present platform.
 There is reason to believe that when 1904 comes the democrats will quietly drop all or nearly all of the offensive features of their Chicago and Kansas City platforms. and will quietly shelve the men who have been the most cb- streperous defenders of them, Bryan heading the l.st
