TURKISH BATH IN FINLAND

Tn Finland the people are particular about bodily cleanliness, but inasmuch as the temperature is often 40 degrees below zero open air bathing cannot be indulged in as it is in this country. The Finlanders, therefore, have re course to q somewhat novel sort Of bath. It is about fifteen feet long by twelve feet wide; boasts no windows. and only when the door is opened can air or light enter. Every hamlet boasts one of these bathhouses, which are for common use.
 When you enter one you will notice that in the middle there is an oven- like structure of boulders piled one upon the other. Along the sides of the walls are rows of seats fashioned out of the branches of trees Apart from this the bath is devoid of furniture, Bathing day is on Saturday, and early on the morning of that day wood is brought and a fire started in the bath.
 When the stones in the center be- come hot the fire is put out, the place IS cleaned, a large vessel of water and slender birch twigs arc brought in whereupon the preparations may be declared complete. There being no ufesslng rooms toilets have to be made and unmade in the various houses. Needless to say. nobody loses any time in making the journey from the home to the bathhotlse.
 When all the men and boys of the hamlet are in the bathhouse the door is closed. The water is thrown on tho hot stones until the place is filled with steam. Then the fun, from the youth- ful point of view. at least. begins Precipitation pours from the sweltering bathers. Nevertheless, more active ey- ercise is demanded so the switches come into play, each bather whacking his neighbor With stick until 'Enoughr' is cried.
 Then more water is thrown on tia stones. more steam arises. and more switching is indulged in. As you may readily imagine, not only is the blood in active circulation by this time. but the bathers' bodies are more like the color of boiled Holsters than anything else. When this happy state has been reached al that. is necessary to con- plete this novel form of Turkish bath is roll in the snow and a quick seam per home.

PINNING A PROFESSOR DOWN.

A fact well known to medical men Is that frequently after a patient has swallowed some sharp object, like a fish bone or a pin, the sensation of pain will be complained of for a long time, even though nothing is lodged in the throat. 1t is often hard to con- vince q patient that his feeling of dis tress is altogether due to imagination.
 Such patients will go from one phy- sician to another, still convinced that the object is sticking in the throat. In such cases it is justifiable trick to fool the patient by producing a sub- stitute pin which the operator has at hand and which he triumphantly shows to the patient after touching the throat with some instrument. This invariably satisfies the patient and cures him.
 The professor wished to make an object lesson of this phenomenon and advised the students to watch for the look of satisfaction on the patients face when the imaginary source of lr- ritation was recovered After pro- longed examination says the New York Times, the professor, with an as- sumed air of exultation, handed the substituted bright pin to the patient, only to be greeted with the disgusted remark of the man:
 s.Naw, dat's not it. l swallowed a black pin"

The republicans of the house seem to think that democratic congressman were being allowed too many of the naval free delivery carriers.
 General Hughes told congressional committee that the Filipinos were like the Boers in one respeet-they kept on fighting when they ought to surrender

 Somebody will be selling Secretary Shaw gold bricks next. He actually tried to make personal inspection of one of the New York docks. in com pany with two of the local officials
 The department of justice has played another card in MT Roosevelt's game of trust bluff, by filing petition ill the federal court of Minnesota asking for the dissolution of the big railroad trust.
 So W. ". Astor will seek to break into the British parliament! Well, if the English can stand him we certain ly can. Tn New York. his native town. he could not be elected to the humblest office, notwithstanding his great wealth.
 Australia has lowered it's tariff on metals and machinery, but the stiff- necked worshippers of the god of higl protection are still steering the repub- lican party ill congress toward defeat by opposing q sensible revision of our tariff
 We are not going to be outdone by the London publisher who has offered a straight-way trip of 100 miles in his balloon, so We hereby offer q prize of 20 cents to any man who can fly 100 yards from our office door. The pres tige of American publishers has got to be kept up if we go broke.
 After endorsing President Roose- velt's order to dismiss any postal em- ploye who dares petition congress for an increase i'll salary, the Globe-Dem- ocrat remarks: '.The letter carriers have petitioned congress for a mod crate increase of salaries. They are a hard working body of men, and the pay they receive, at the maximum, is comparatively small. What they ask from congress is a minimum of 1,200 a year. It seems q reasonable prOpo- sition. Congress should at least con- sider it carefully. and take such action as it's best judgment approves. When the constant activity. the order of in- telligence and the fidelity of the letter carriers are taken into account, they have few equals as an organized corps whose duties are intimately connected with the entire business and domestic WorIdn

FORTUNE TELLING IN RUSSIA

A Russian writer, Miss Kondacheff, tells in the February St. Nicholas two ways of consulting the fates:
 New Years eve and Twelfth Night are considered the best occasions of the year for these amusing experi- ments.
 Whenever a number of young peo- pie come together during this time of the year, whether it be for dancing, playing games, or just spending a pleasant evening together, some one of the party is sure to propose s'fate reading" or ''gadat," as it is called in Russia.
 Seeking to know before hand the name of ones future sweetheart is a very amusing experiment, and there are two methods of going to work. The first is managed thus: A sheet of paper is cut into strips about four and half inches long. on every one of which 9 name is written. A big basin Is half filled with water, and by wet, ting one end of the strips of paper these are made to adhere to the rim of the basin all round, the dry ends pointing horizontally toward the center. A nut shell containing q bit of lighted wax taper is then set afioat by one of the party. the water hav- ing previously been slightly disturbed with the fingers so as to give it a ro- tary motion. Sometimes the skiff will pass by many names without harm or again, it may stay pretty long while before one without ignniting it; but the name set fire to is believed to be that of the person who is to play prominent part in ones future life.
 The next question of importance is to ascertain in what direction lies your fate'-that is. from which point of the compass you are to expect it. The an- swer is obtained in the following way: You step ont doors and throw your slipper high in the air; then, the quar- ter to which the toe points when it I-aliehts is that whence will come the person who is to influence your flu ture."
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-03-12

It has cropped out OH several occa- sions that the city fellows ill the con- stitutional convention do not know just what they want. They are not united, and, of course, not pulling together 1t is easier to defeat any measure they bring forward Ex-Governor Waller wants a large senate; Delegate Vance wants the district system; Delegate Guilfoile of this city is in favor of any good plan; Editor Clark of Hartford, who never was very deeply in love with constitutional reform anyway, is in favor of a little, even if it is only off the top. And so it goes, and unless the town delegates become weary ot waiting there will be very little gained. The Holcomb plan now seems to strike some of the men from the large towns as about what they want. for the reason that they cannot get anything better. This plan adds del egate or two to the large towns and cuts off few from the small towns, with a senate of not over forty. II may be the plan that will be put before the people for approval. h the mean time the delegates from the big towns must get together or they will not get anything.

WOMEN SMOKERS.

For the past five-and-twenty years, at least, society, using the word in it's more exclusive meaning, has looked upon the cigarette between the fem mine lips with more and more tolera- tion. One by one the fashionable restaurants have extended the same freedom of the post-prandial cigar cite to ladies as to genClemen. The smoking room is at the present. time q feature of all the ladies clubs, and so far now from it's being a secret sane tum into which the merely introduced guest could not be taken, one finds that ladies who have acted as hostes- ses to little parties of friends, which may include men, take their visitors to the smoking room after lunch or dinner and there offer them their own cigarettes. Gold cases for cigarettes, with monographs or notices in dia- mondS, may often be seen among the brides presents at fashionable wed- ding, and the match box is as much an appurtenance of the chatelaine as the pencil or the tiny puff box. And such fair smokers are fastidious as to the brands of cigarettes they buy. There are shops not far from Bond street which specially eater to their lady customers, who pay very high prices for their finely-favored, delicate and fragrant Turkish or Egyptian to- baccos.
 But it is in somewhat less aristo- cratic ranks that the real increase of cigarette smoking by women is most marked, and there it is that the lower prices with which combines and trusts" are concerned are an incen- tive. In no direction has the invasion of the sex into spheres previously re- garded by man as his own been more marked than in the city, where wo- men are now so much engaged as clerks, typists and shorthand writers. They are of necessity thrown much in to the company of men. They become | accustomed to an atmosphere where smoke prevails. In their degree they become connOisseurS also, and are we'll versed in the subtleties of weIl-adyer- tised makes. It has been observed by more than one of the great whole sale cigarette purveyors that women do not demand ladies brands but are beginning to prefer the milder general varieties so numerous upon the market. At present the west end fe- | male shop assistants do not as a class smoke. Living in," as is the GUS tom of most of the great firms, does not allow much opportunity to acquire the taste as regular practice, and at l the theaters or social gatherings which they enjoy on the weekly half holiday the temptation does not arise. Hos pital nurses also are not as rule, smokers.
 Though ill the streets one does not see much evidence of the fact. there is no doubt that working women are be- ginning to smoke The tobacco trade in London is vast one, and i'll the making both of cigars and cigarettes girls are mainly employed It may be noted as a curious fact that in choosing cigarettes, even of the least expensive description, the feminine smoker never selects dark tobacco. The paler it is the more likely 1t is to appeal to her.-London Telegraph.
