MOORISH BATHS.
Religious Rites of Islam and
Destroyed by Spaninrds.

In Spain, while the Moors were in
the ascendancy, luxurious hot baths
were established, says Medical Talk.
They were used in connection with
the religious rites of Islam. The Is
lamites were required to battle fre-
quently. The manner Of bathing was
as follows:
After undressing, the bather is
wrapped in a woolen coat, sandals are
put on, and he walks to the hot bath.
After thorough hot bath, all parts
of the body are rubbed. The soles
Of the feet are rubbed with pumice
stone, then the body is annointed with
oil and sprinkled with perfumed pow
ders.
When the Moors were driven out Of
Spain, the first thing the people did
was. to destroy the Moorish bath
houses. This was done because Of
religious prejudice against the Moors.
1t was a bad thing for Spain, however,
from physical standpoint, as that
country has been noted ever since
for its want of personal cleanliness
and the entire absence of the facili-
ties for bathing.

re TEST NEW JERSEY GAME LAW
Philadelphia Fined s143.4o For Garry.
ina Rabbits Out ef the State,

ing ndpDits Out cf tnc otate.
Camden. n. J., Nov. II. Former
Judge Carrow instituted certiorari pro-
ceedings in the Camden county court
to compel Justice of the Peace Barr to
show cause for fining DR.. ]. II. O'Con-
nor, Of Philadelphia s143.4o for carry
ing game out of New Jersey.
This case is practically a test of the
constitutionality of the Jersey game
law prohibiting gunners from carrying
their prey out of the state. DR.. O'Con-
nor was arrested in the ferry slip on
Saturday by Ware and Post, game war
dens and seven rabbits having been
found in a package he carried he was
taken before Justice Barr and fined.
The doctor Immediately retained
judge Carrow to begin proceedings TO
recover the amount of his fines. He
says that he was merely a common car
rier and had been asked by Robert
Delaney, an Atlantic City hotelkeeper,
to carry the rabbits TO Mr.. Murphy
at the Hotel Scott in Philadelphia.
The outcome of the trial will be
eagerly watched by sportsmen. The
law in question has created a great
deal of discussion in sporting circles,
and its defeat would bring joy to the
hearts of many an ardent gunner who
has been obliged to eat or dispose of
his luck in New Jersey.

Curious LOSS md Recovery.

AT King Edwards coronation the
duchess of Buccleuch lost bracelet
in singular manner. 1t had become
attached to lady's dress, was folded
away with the garment and not seen
until the unconscious finder had been
away for holiday and had the robe
out again. That, however, is COM
monplace compared with the expert.
ence of an English clergyman. A
ring which was an heirloom in his
family was stolen from his keeping.
Nothing was heard of it for eighteen
years. Then it turned up inside q
glove at q bazaar in New Zealand
promoted bya relative of the original
owner. 1t had passed from hand to
hand and finally been left in one Of
the fingers of the glove which had
been sent to be sold.

Decreed her moods and maNners siry:
And smiles-I marvel much thereat
When cares great cross is hers TO carry.

She hath the art of seeming pleasant.
To beauty slight would be her claim
Likewise TO grace and lofty station,
And. though she bears an honored name.
Her hearts ne'er felt that quick pulsa-

That comes with picking fruits of fame
And earning critics sweet oblation.
Her placid life hath known no wimple,
Yet smiles keep e'cr her cheeks a-dimple.

Have, when with graces they endowed
her.

And fame doth crumble into powder.

ROBBED BILTMoRE ESTATE
The Cashier and Timekeeper Indicted
For Embezzlina $1,000,


Asheville, n. c., Nov. 17.-Daniel
c. Champlain, former mayor Of Bilt-
more and cashier of the Biltmore es-
tate. and George r. Tenant, hereto.
for6 timekeeper for the estate, were
indicted by the grand jury Of the Su-
perior Court for embezzlement Of $1l,.
600 Of the funds from George w. Van.
derbilt. Both men have left the state
and their whereabouts are unknown.
The finding of the grand jury is the
result of Investigations which have
been conducted for the last two
months. When the rumors of pecu.
lation Of the estate moneys were first
started . general denial was made at
the Offices. The sudden return of Mr..
Vanderbilt from Europe and the en-
ployment Of expert accountants to
examine the books are said to have
resulted in open charges being made
against the men, who were dismissed
from Mr.. Vanderblt's employ for 'vio-
lating the regulations of the Office"
The master of Biltmore made no effort
to prosecute the offenders, but at the
special term of the criminal court last
month Fred Hull, expert accountant,
and E. J. Harding were summoned be-
fore the grand Jury.

to maintain what corresponds in many
respects to the Continental salon.
Prominent among thees are the Chief
Justice of the United States. the Ad-
miral OF the Navy. and the Chief Of Staf
OF the Army. To periodically pay his
respects to the man at the head of his
service is regarded by every military
and naval man as a duty as well as a
privilege. whereas the Chief Justice Of

Gle made up OF the families Of the ns-
tionaI judiciary.
A noteworthy feature OF Washington
social life is found in the comparatively
short time which has in Some instances
suficed for the establishment on a firm
basis Of a conspicuous salon at the Cap
ital- For instance. the present Italian
ambassador and Signora Mayor des
Pianches had been residents Of the City
Of Magnificent Distances forIess than ?
year when they gained recognition IS
among the most lavish entertainers IN
the official world. and Mrs David Javr.s

Third Assistant Secretary OF State. re-
quired but brief interval TO make her
home more popular than that Of the
Secretary of State as a rendezvous fox
the diplomats.
1t may be interesting TO note in this
connection that one of the successful
methods followed by Mrs Hill In the
upbuilding Of her salon was the conduct
OF what were known as national even
ings" On one such occasion the Ger
man ambassador had an opportunity TO
meet the prominent German-Americans
of the Capital, hear the songs Of bis
native land, and taste the old familiar
dishes of the fatherland- Then, again.
the American-French colony was brought
together to meet the envoy from our sis
ter republic and his suite. and so the
series of gatherings was continued
through the list Of prominent rationale
ties represented in Washington Official
circles.
One of the points to be made IN favor
of the salon as a vehicle of intellectual
relaxation and social diversion is that
it does not necessarily entail extrava-
CANT expenditure for maintenance The
cultured hostess who is bospitable By
instinct and unremittingly tactful is rot
likely to fail in the conduct of her salon
because she cannot rival the gold dinner
service of Mrs. John P. Mclean or du-
plicate Mrs. Westinghouse orchid dec
orations This is attested by the success
of Mrs. Roosevelt's receptions when the
present Chief Magistrate was Civil Ser
