Advocates Hot Baths.
From the New York Post.

A German physician advocates in Ger
man paper the frequent taking of hot
baths. These, he urges, are much more
healthful than the warm bath, and certain
ly than the cold plunge, which he thinks
few systems can stand The water should
be at temperature in the beginning Of
1882, this to be increased until the water
is as bot as can be borne. The length of
the first bath should be not more than FIVE
minutes, and at no time should it be long
er than is agreeable with no sense of dis
comfort apparent The writer cites in
support of his theory the practice common
in Japan among all classes of its people
of taking these hot baths. The porter
walking along with his load and fatigued
to the point of exhaustion drops it for 10
minutes while he takes hot bath at some
public bathhouse He energies refreshed
and strengthened and goes his way rejoic-
ing. The writer considers that there is no
danger of taking cold after hot bath, and
does not even advocate the use of cold
shower to follow the bath. Hot water is
known to be an excellent cosmetic for the
face, and it is only fair to assume that its
revival Of skin tissue is not confined to that
part of the body.

lighthouses in the United States.
From the chautauquan.

from tne Cnautauqudn%
Uncle Sam has been in the lighthouse
business since 1889. In that year he took
over from the States eight lighthouses
the only ones then on our coast Now his
stock in trade consists of over 1000 lighted
and about $500 unlighted aids to naviga-
ton, like fog signals and buoys Boston
Light, on Little Brewster Island, in Bos-
ton harbor, is the Oldest light station in
United States. 1t dates from 1715. Its
first keeper, Worthylake by name, proved
worthy of his trust. He was so faithful
in the performance of his duty that during
a severe storm part Of his flock of sheep
was swept off the island because he con
centrated all his attention upon keeping a
good light. To "keep good light is
the first duty of every light station keeper,
and it is a credit to the service to record
that its personnel follows the example set
by the first keeper of our oldest lighthouse.
For the purpose of lighthouse admins
tration the United States is divided into
sixteen districts, each in charge of an Of
fcer of theUnited States navy, as inspector,
assisted by an officer of the United States
Engineer Corps A lighthouse is erected
for the benefit of the world shipping. In
measure it is the result of alruistic i'm
pulse, and it lie hardly stretching point to
hold that maritime nations standard of
civilization may be gagged by the care with
which it lights its coasts. Therefore it is
gratifying to know that our country is GER
tainly second to none, and possible ahead Of
all others, In lighthouse administration. x

The most famous lighthouse on the Pa
cifc coast is that of Tillamook Rock, sew
enty miles south of the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, Oregon. \ 4 x
The rock is ninety two feet above the
sea, yet at the time Mr.. Lord made one
of his photographs wave was breaking
through creyasse and hurting its spray
higher than the summit. On this day it
was too rough for the Columbine's boat to
make landing. Coal for the station had
to be hoisted in net slings, and the keeper
had to be lowered in cage or basket and,
suspended in midair over the sea, report on
the condition of himself and his assistants,
as they were short of provisions, most Of
the supply having been destroyed during a
storm.
From the side of the rock heavy sea,
at the height of this storm, tore off two
pieces averaging sixty-three pounds and
hurled them upon the roof of the keeper 5
dwelling. With the weight of the water
these fragments made hole twenty six
feet in area in the roof, flooded the build
in to depth of over five feet and washed
out two walls, throwing three rooms into
one, an Improvement for which the
keepers were not especially greatful
Pieces of rock punctured the iron roof in
thirty five places. Although the focal
plane of the lantern is 1876 feet above the
sea level, eleven panes Of glass three feet
long and three Eighties of an inch thick
were knocked in by pieces of rock which
went through the lantern, and the water
put out the light. The building has now
been raised six feet, and thick concrete
roof has been laid on heavy steel girders.

Where the Twentieth Century
First Damned.
From the January pearson,s.


IF the change of centuries took place at
either of the equinoxes March 2lst or
September 21st-then, since on those days
the earth s axis is at right angles to the
plane of the orbit, and there Is equal day
and night all over the world, the matter
would be very easily decided. The dawn
line would coincide with the date-line, and
from Pole to Pole the first sun of the new
century would rise at the same moment.
But, unfortunately, this is not so, and
the consequence is that the line of dawn,
as it sweeps round the earth, first touches
the date-line to the south of the Equator,
and then gradually creeps up this line till
it leaves it far to the north So the first
sun of the Twentieth Century will rise on
the places along or near the date-line in
the order of their position: from the south
upward.
Now there is no land along this line
from the Antarctic Circle to Antipodes
Island, hence this tiny spot of earth will
first see the Twentieth Century dawn. A
few minutes later Bounty Island will see
it. Then it will sweep along the north
east coast of North Island, New Zealand !;
thenover Vanu Lew in the FIJI Islands.
Next it will shine on the scattered coral
islets of the Ellice group, and after travel
ing about nine degrees more to the north,
the light-tide will touch the crossing of the
dawn line and date-line at O clock.
Two hours and FIVE minutes will have
to pass before it reaches the banks Of the
Yarra. In 6 hours and 25 minutes it will
gid the temples and palaces of Calcutta.
In hours and so minutes it will be flow
ing over Lions Head and down the rugged
sides of Table mountain. In IL hours
and rs minutes it will have crossed Mont
martre and touch the base of Eiffel Tower
in Paris. Five minutes later it will have
passed the cross of ST. Paufs and be flow
ing up Fleet street In II hours and 80
minutes from the time it crossed the dawn
line it will be flowing round the feet of
the Statue of Liberty, and in three hours
more it will have reached the Golden Gate.
Thence it will cross stretch of ocean I'M
broken by rock or islet back to the dawn
line, and so will be accomplished the even
ing and morning of the first day of the
Twentieth Century.

A Glue in the Goebel Assassination
Mystery.

FRANKFoRT, KY, Dec. 25.-0ne of the
clerks in the State Auditors Office, in search
ing the vault for old records today, found a
cartridge box containing eight metal patched
smokeless powder cartridges, 98 30 calibre,
corresponding exactly to the bullet found in
the blackberry tree. and which was believed
to have passed through Senator Goebel's
body. The significance of the discovery lies
in the fact that Henry Youtsey, convicted of
of participation IN the Goebel assassination in
October, was a clerk in the Auditors Office
at the time of the assassination, and had ac-
cess to the vault where the cartridges were
found, and that George Barnes, another clerk
In the Office, testified he saw Yousey with a
box of cartridges.

BE CAREFUL WHAT you SAY


In speaking OF a persons faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those in houses glass
Should never throw a stone.
five have nothing else To do.
But talk OF those who sin,
IT'S better we commence ut home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not?
Thti old as well as young.
We may, perhaps, for aught we know
Fave fifty TO their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And fnd It works full well,
To try my own defects to cure
Before ofother's tell.
And though I, sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know.
Ny own short comings bid me let
The faults of Others go.
Then let US all. when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens roost at home
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.

men and women who have recovered
health by its means most of them
were induced to take it through the
persuasion of mothers, sisters, friends,
or relatives.
1t is a remedy for the aged as well
as for the young.
The fact cannot be too strongly en-
phasized that Paine's Celery Com
pound is a physicians remedy and as
such is freely used and prescribed by
the most eminent practitioners.

scores of instances in every commu-
nity.
