Mr.. George Ticknor, who wrote 1.-THE

1.-THE Life of Prescott" remembered
distinctly the death of Washington. He
says in his diary:
There never was more striking or

was paid in Boston when the news
came of Washington's death.

well, wasn't it his deal3"
Why We Rnthe

Professor Vivian Lewes, at the Lon
don institution, recently furnished the
following answer to the question,
why do we bathe?" Twcnty-eight
miles of sweat glands in our skin are
discharging 26 ounces of water per day
and leaving upon the outer surface Of
the skin full ounce of solid matter.
These are aided by the oil glands of the
hair, which facilitate the adherence of
external dirt. Hence the refreshing
character of the morning bath and the
necessity for grease absorbing alkalies
in soap.
