The t,rimar Petrol.

The fulmar petrol somewhat resembles
a common gull at distance, hut has a
much more graceful fight, skimming the
waves or lowering by the cliffs without
perceptible motion of its wings 1t makes
its nest upon the grassy lodges and cliffs
of st. Kilda, and is caught with a rod
in the same way as putin, only, as it
is found en- the precipices, it is more diff
cult to secure.
1t was greatly valued formerly for its
oil. of which each bird has about half a
pint, and which it uses as a means of
defense, and elects with great force at
the enemy. The present general use of
mineral oils makes that of the fulmar of
less Importance, but it is the purest ami
NAL oil in existence, and is still used for
various purposes, and also incidentally by
the natives for sprains and bruises

ORIGIN OF OUR ARMY.
Articles of War Adopted by the Com
tinentaI Congress in I775.

tineutal Congress in I775.
In the month of June, 1873, the Cont
mental Congress. in session at Philadel-
phia, passed three important resolutions,
writes Gen. Francis v Greene in Serb
ner's. The first adopted and took over
as Continental army the force of New
England troops which, under the lead
of Massachusetts. had assembled at Bos-
ton soon after the battles of Lexington
and Concord; the second appointed
George Washington General and COM
mander-in-chief of all the Continental
forces, raised Or to be raised, for the de-
tense of American liberty" the third
adopted rules and regulations for the
government of the army'-the articles of
war. which. modified and amended from
time to time still govern the army and
form the basis of the military law.
This was the origin of the American
army. In the intervening 126 years
nearly 5000, eco men have worn its uni
form; it has conducted with success five
great wars, covering a period of seven
teen years, and numerous minor cam
lpaigns against hostile Indians and Phil
ippino insurgents; it has been the chief
Instrument in restoring order and inaug-
uratng civil government after the war
with Mexico, the Civil war and the war
with Spain; from its ranks have come
eleven of the rwenty-four Presidents of
the United States4nd many hundreds of
men occupying the highest civil offices,
governors of states. senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress- cabinet ministers,
ambassadors and judges of the most inn
portant courts.
For a people who have never sought
war and have only res0rted to it when re-
luctantly forced to do so, the army has
filled large place in our history.

DISSERTATION ON BATHING.
Anyone Can Get Clean with a Gallon
of Water, it Says.

A most important sanitary and political
question, that of public baths in the tenp-
ment house districts of cities. is now be-
ing discussed with much heat. City gov
ernments are commanded to supply such
baths, and the basis of all the arguments
used is that there is no cleanliness except
the body is immersed in or sprayed with
a barrel or two of water. None more
than we would advise the extended use
of baths of this kind, but as we have
previously urged, it is high time that by
gienists should educate the public up TO
the point of recognizing that the spray Of
the tub bath is not necessary for cleanl-
ness. An editorial in great journal
says: How many would battle if all the
water had to be carried by hand from Il
hydrant often up several flights Of
stairs| And then this foolish writer
draws the necessary deduction that the
city must furnish free baths to its cit-
ZenS.
Now, in the first place, not all the peo-
pie OF the United States live in cities.
We think more than a half do not. If
the community must furnish its citizens
free tub and spray baths, by what logic
is the duty limited to the taxpayers Of
cities? The price of pure water land if
it is not pure it IS not advisable even for
bathing) is growing greater every year,
and the water meter must make tub
bathing, and other methods requiring
large amount of water, too expensive eX-
cept for few of the well-to-do cities
The faliacy that there is no cleanliness
except By immersion is a most perniciOus
one, productive Of no bathing; and hence
of disease. BY all means encourage I'M
mersion and spraying and Tubing for
those who can afford it, but do not let US
be guilty, as hygienists, of teaching the
people any longer that there is but one
method of cleansing the body. A sponge
or wet towel with two gallons of water
will cleanse the body as well in FIVE min
uteS as a hundred gallons in two hours

Delighted at His Fathers Election.
William Travers Jerome, Jr., who is
known to everybody in Lakeville,
Conn, by his pet name Of "Chinky,"
is hugely enjoying the national promi-
nence into which his father has sprung
by his election as district attorney of
New York county.
He doesn't exactly understand what
it all means, but he knows that his ia.
ther has received message Of con-
graduation from the president of the
United States and hundreds Of tele.
grams and letters from distinguished
men all over the country. 1t Is his
proud privilege several times day,
says the New York World, to carry
bundles of these communications from
the telegraph office and the postoffice
to his home. He delights In reading
them, and he is eager to learn some
thing about the sender Of every one.
"Chinky" is essentially country lad.
He has passed good share Of his elev-
en- years up at Lakeville among the
Connecticut hills. He attends the La
comic school, an institution for girls,
with a primary department to which
boys are admitted. The lad is red
checked and freckled. His parents are
thorough believers in the value of out
door country life. Little restraint Is
placed on his movements. Outside Of
school hours "Chinky" and his boy
companions wander through the woods
and over the golf grounds near his fa-
Tiers home. He is followed about
most of the time by two dogs--Duke.
greyhound, and Snap, a fox terrier.
The happiest member Of the party
that received the election returns with
Justice Jerome the other night was
"Chinky." He was permitted to sit up
far beyond his usual bedtime. The re-
turns were received up stairs over the
long distance telephors~ end written on
