southern states" This aroused the
united actions of the New England
states and the motion was lost. Then
came a long season of controversy.
Every farm around Trenton became as
valuable as a gold mine. Land specu-
lators secured options on farms for
building lots. New Jersey strengthened
her position, and in November, 1884,
congress met at Trenton and 500, 900
was voted for the erection of suitable
buildings, and the ordinance passed
provided that a district should be laid
out on the Delaware river, near the
lower fall, for a federal house OF con-
gress and for the executive officers and
houses for the president and secretary
OF foreign affairs, war and marine and
treasury. Three commissioners were !.
appointed to proceed under the act and
start the capital. They we're Philip
Schuyler of New York, Philemon Dick
iinson of Trenton and Robert Morris,
the great financier, living opposite
Trenton. Washington was forced to
take sides with the south, and in an
open letter to Richard Henry Lee, then
tine president of congress, he said that
the Trenton location was not a good
0ne. Washington's letter had the eff
feet oof withholding the appropriation
$50, 900, for which the commissioners
asked. The sectional feeling grew a
and caused Washington much distress.
Jefferson and Hamilton were author
ito make the best bargain they
could before the trouble took deeper
root. Hamilton did missionary work
among the eastern members, and Rob
ert Morris took the middle states mem
bers. When the bill came uD for the
approximation of the $780, 900 for the
beginning of the building at Trenton
a compromise had been reached. Mas
.sachusetts and New Jersey stood to-
gether for the appropriation; the
other states opposed it. The motion
for the appropriation was lost. Tren-
ton was not to be the capital Of the
States. Such is The story of

A Siberian Religious Sect.

The most peculiar religious sect in
the world exists in Siberia. The mem
bers style themselves "Slaves of
Christ" To the question, "Who are
you?" they answer, "a slave of Christ"
They teach that the earth is fat, stands
on three whales, and that in the middle
of the ocean is a gigantic chanticleer
which crows at sunrise. Railways,
telegraphs and telephones are consid-
cred creations of the devil.

RULES FOR THE BATH.
suge estions to Those Who Are Suffering
from Poor Circulation.

AAOo Nho al SuuGF1ng
from Poor Circulation.
An 1nvigorating tonic bath is prepar-
ed by soaking several slices of lemon
or lines in the bath water for an hour
then adding a handful of bran. Bath
bags of oatmeal n orris, or of shaw
ed soap and almond flour, are also
pleasant additions to the bath. The
bath is one of the best agencies in pre-
venting old age, SO far as appearance
goes. h people who battle them
selves properly are few in number.
The great unwashed are not found
among the poverty-stricken, but in
every class in life. The person who
talks about his plunge that he takes
daily, is not the person who has a.
proper bath any more than is he who
takes a sponge" The cold plunge and
the cold sponge are tones, and good
for those with whom they agree. For
the morning sponge warm salt water is
delightful and very in~vigorating. The
water is easily and cheaply prepared by
dissolving a cupful of rock salt in a
pint of warm water, then adding it to
49, " WoICl' AALSI the sponge rub
briskly with a Turkish towel. Rough
ness OF the skin and chapping in win
ter are often caused by the skin be-
ing imperfectly dried. For persons
sufferlng from poor circulation bran
baths are recommended, and as they
require only a tub of warm water. a
peck OF bran, and a rough towel or so,
surely they are within the reach of
everyone. The bran costs only a few
cents, and should be emptied into the
warm water. The surface of the body
must be well rubbed with the mixture,
and after the bath one will be found
to be not only beautifully cleansed,
but warmed and in~vigorated. Oatmeal
may be used instead of the bran, but
of course is more expensive, although
with some skins, especially delicate
ones, it agrees much better. 1t must
not be forgotten, however, that the
cold plunge or the morning sponge ia
not enough to keep the skin in good
condition. They bring the blood to
the surface, but do not keep the outer
layer of the skin, sweat-glands and the
oil follicles healthy.-Philadelphia

The London Saturday Review is
taking comfortzin the belief that war
is bound to come between the United
States and Germany over the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t thinks that our unreas-
enable conduct lin refusing either to
steal South America ourselves or to
allow anybody else to steal it would
justify Europe in suppressing us as
a common nuisance. And, really,
when o look at it from that point
OF view, our course must seemeincom-
prehensible and e~xasperating.

SILK Association of America, the secre-
tary points out that more than five

In 1870, and there are moe than five
times as many operatives in our mills.
We import almost six times as much
raw silk as we did then, but our i'm

from nearly a dollar per capita in 1870
to about forty cents per capita in 1900.
The fact that we import less is credit

Government trials of plans for the
destruction Of mosquito pests have
led to the recommendation of certain
measures which have proved most eff
'hcient. They are the draining, where
ever possible, of marshes and pools
of stagnant water; the spreading of
kerosene on all such bodies of water
as cannot be drained, and the intro
duction of sticklebacks, minnows and
other small fish.

Russra's Proposed New Transport.

The Russian government is about to
construct a new transport, intended to
serve at the same time as a training
ship for stokers and engineers. The
proposed vessel is to be able to stow
1000 tons of coal, and to be of 10000
tons displacement. Her boilers will be
of four types: Schultz, Belleville, Nj
clause and Yarrow, and she will have
two triple expansion engines. Her es-

The chemist, who, it is said, arst
manufactured sugar-coatad pills, died
in Philadelphia the other day, and his
principal achievement is now respect
fully commended to the attention OF
debating societies. 1t is rather a large
question, when one looks at all sides of
it, whether the man who made it easier
for people to take pills was or was not
a public benefactor.

It would be difficult to name anv
achievement of medical science which
contains more of the picturesque or ap-
peals more powerfully to the magma
tion than the discovery that two of the
commonest species of mosquitoes are
responsible, the one for the spread of
malaria, the other for the dissemina-
tion of yellow fever. Here are two
members of a family long known to be
somewhat troublesome and disagree
able, but usually regarded as nothing
more than a common nuisance, un-
worthy Of any very serious attention.
Meantime however mysterious and ter
r1ble crime occur. Here a man is
bound and tortured, there a whole fam
lily is murdered, an entire community
wiped out; and the assassins always
succeed in concealing their identity
and making good their escape. But
the patient detectives at work on the
case pick up one clue here and another
there, until at last the eyes of the com
munity are opened, and it sees that the
W insignificant and despised crea-
lures who have been coming and going
almost unnoticed are in reality the
great criminals for whom the whole
world has been searching. When such a
case is made out against human Of
tenders, justice is prompt. Sanitary
science is proceeding with equal ener-
.gy against the two guilty members of
the mosquito family.
