Public Baths In cities.

Many cities, including st. Louis,
are giving increased thought to the
subject of public baths. New York
city has just introduced a bath equip
ment into one fits public schools, sit
uated in a crowded tenement district.
1t consists of IA shower baths, the
spray system having been found to
give the greatest cleanliness and econ
omy of time. Germany is credited
with leading off in this addition to
public schools. Spray baths were es-
tablished in the Goettingenschools in
1885, and rs per cent. of the pupils
use them. The system has been
adopted in Berlin and many other
German cities, and has spread into
Switzerland, Denmark. Norway and
France.

Mr.. Clement Scott draws attention
to the fact that there are ladies who
have the right to sit in the British
parliament Excellent authoritieshave
assured him that those few people who
are "peeresses in their own right" can
claim to sit in the house Of lords dur
ing any ordinary assembly of that
house. Such ladies as the countess
Of Cromartie, the baroness of Com
yers and Baroness Burdett-Coutts
might at any time appear in person
and "claim" to take theirseatsin that
house And if they can sit and vote
there, they can certainly take part
in actual debates in the house.
