A REMARKABLE VIRGINIA SCHOOL.
Manual Training Institution for Poor
White Children.

Helen Gray, in Leslie's Weekly.
A few weeks ago il was my privilege TO
visit one Of the most splendid industrial In
stitutions in the Southern States. the Miller
Manual Labor School for poor white chill

mountains. of Albemare county. I'm the
beautiful and healthful Piedmont region OF

BATHS IN FINLAND.
Bathers Are First Steamed. Then
Rolled i'm the snow.

London Express.
In Finland the people are particular
about bodily cleanliness: but inasmuch as
the temperature is often 40 degrees below
zero open-air bathing cannot De INDUCED in
it is in this country.
The Finlanders, therefore, have recourse
TO a somewhat novel sort Of bath. 1t 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 bath
houses, which are for common use. When
you enter one you will notice that In the
middle there is an oven-like structure of
powders 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 fur
niture.
Bathing day is on Saturday. and early on
the morning of that day wood is brought
and fire started in the bath. When the
stones in the center become hot the fire is
put out. the place is cleaned, large vessel
OF water and slender birch twigs are
brought IN. WhereupOn the preparations
may be declared complete.
There being no dressing 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 bathhouse.
When all the men and boys OF the ham,
let are in the bathhouse the door is closed.
The water is thrown on the hot stones I'M
til the place is filled with steam. Then the
fun, from the youthful point of view, at
least. begins Precipitation pours from the
sweltering bathers. Nevertheless, more
active exercise Is demanded. so the
switches come into play. each bather
whacking his neighbor with a stick until
enough is cried.
Then more water is thrown on the stones.
more steam rises, and more switching is in
dulged 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,
all that is necessary to complete this novel
form of Turkish bath is a roll in the snow
and quick scamper home.

Restaurant Burglarized.

Derr Brothers, restaurant located In
the Philips building on Main street
was burglalized some time during the
early hours Of Sunday morning. 1t
is evident that money lust prompted
the crime as nothing but the cash box
was disturbed. When business closed
at twelve o'clock Saturday night the
receipts were deposited in the box, a
square tin affair which is protected
by a small lock, and placed in a
drawer behind the bar. Sunday
morning the box was discovered in
the yard in the rear of the restaurant
with its contents, amounting to eighty
dollars, missing. The robbers entered
the building by way of rear window.
There is no clue to the perpetration
of the robbery but the proprietors are
of the belief that the person or per-
sons who did it were familiar with the
building and knew where the money
was kept.
