A Finland Boys Bath.

When the boys of Finland want to take a bath this Is the way they do it.
 In the first plce, 1t is very, very cold in Flnlano-and the bathroom is not in the house at all. but is building quite separate
 IL is a round building, about the size of an ordinary room. There are no windows SO light and air can only come in when the door Is open.
 Inside benches are built all along the wall and Tn the center Is I great pile of loose stones Early on Saturday morning word Is brought in and s great vessel standing rear the stones is filled with water.
 Then someone cuts ever so many birch switches, and these are placed on the floor of the bathhouse Next. the fire Is made under the stones and 1t burns all morning In the afternoon, when the stones are very hot. the fire Is put out, the place Is swept tean and all Is ready.
 The boys undrpss in their homes and run to the bathhouse. As 1t is generally 30 below zero, you may be sure they do It n double quick time.
 As soon as they are In the bathhouse they shut the door tight and begin to throw water the steam rise. More water is thrown on, and there Is more steam, until the place Is quite full of It..
 And now comes the part that think you American boys would not like at all Each boy takes birch switch and falls to whp- ping hls companions. This Is to make the blood circulate, and though 1t is real hard whipping. no objects, but all think 1t great fun At last, looking like lot of boiled lobsters they all rush out. have roll in the snow and make for home.

Annie's First Trout.
BY MINNA c. SMITH.

Little Annie was wading In the shallow ripples of the Laramie River out of sight of the ranch house. She had on her blue denim apron, overalls. her old shoes and pair of black knit woolen stockings. Her father always wore rubber boots when he was fishing for trout, and Annie was q papa's girl. She was out by the first bridge over the irrigatlng ditch when her sister Dora had come out to call her in to supper, and she started for the house at once.
 Annie did not mean 10 run away. but she went round 10 the woodshed a minute to look at sick lamb which had eaten too

 ter show Jimmy what she could catch it she had rod like that. So she took 1t down, slipped ont of the woodshed through the back fence, across the river on the biz bridge of cottonwood poles and disappeared in a little thicket of cottonwoods opposite the big corral. She felt the old familiar joy in running away when she found herself on the meadow bank above the thicket out of sight -t the house. She wanted to wade and fish in the next ripples, but she remembered that her father had told her they were so swift that they would pick up little girl and run her down stream into the deep pool by the thicket and drown her before she could say Jack Robinson. So she went on up stream until she came 10 a broad. shallow place. where the nipples danced slowly ln the sunset lights and tho water

CONGRESS.

There we're two speeches in the Senate
yesterday on the Cuban reciprocity bill,
one by a democrat in support of the bill,
and the other by a republican in opposi-
ton to it. The opposing speech was
made by Mr.. Bard, of California, who
contended that the United States was
under no obligation to give further aid
to Cuba, especially when to do so we
must pursue course injurious to our
own industries. Mr.. McCreary, ofKen-
lucky, made his maiden speech in sup
port OF the bill, as in line with our past
magnanimous course toward Cuba, and
especially because he believed it to be 4
step toward tariff reform. He said that
the protective policy of the United
States already had brought about retail
iation by Germany, and predicted that
other European nations, possibly includ-
ing Great Britain, would soon follow the
example set by that country.
Yesterday the House had before it the
pension appropriation bill, and in COM
mittee of the whole the debate took a
wide latitude. The opportunity TO talk
was mostly seized by democrats, but
Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs, answering
speech by Mr.. Dinsmore, Of Arkansas,
vigorously defended the policy of the ad-
ministrstion with reference to the new
republic of Panama. Mr. Williams, the
democratic leader, answered Mr.. Hitt IN
an equally vigorous speech. Other mem
bers talked on various subjects, and at
4;06 the committee arose and reported
that it had reached no conclusion on the
pension bill. The House adjourned I'M
til Monday.

MR.. BRYAN'S LEGACY.

Counsel for Mrs. Bennett, widow OF
Philo S. Bennett in New Haven,
Conn, yesterday filed long statement
of the reasons for the appeal recently
taken from the decision of Probate
Judge Cleaveland in relation to Mr..
Benefits will. In the formal notice of
appeal it was briefly announced that OBJ
lection would be taken to all of the be-
quests in the will providing for trust
funds for educational purposes to be adj
ministered by Mr.. and Mrs. William J.
Bryan, and also to the appointment of
Mr.. Bryan as executor and trustee
That statement was elaborated in the
document filed yesterday which, after
repeating the clauses of the will to
which objection is taken, says in effect
that Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan "induced and
persuaded Mr.. Bennett to sign a paper
addressed to William J. Bryan and to
copy a considerable part of another
paper, the said copy to be addressed to
Mrs. Bennett. The papers referred to
are the sealed letter by which Mr.
Bryan and family we're to be given
$50, 900 by consent of Mrs. Bennett, and
a letter similar in puaport which Mr..
Bryan produced IN court. The appeal
says it was then the intention CT Mr..
Bryan and his wife, that only the sealed
letter addressed to Mrs. Bennett was 10 be
brought to her knowledge, land that was for
the purpose ofinducing her to permit Vim. J.
Bryan to get the $4,000" 1t is also de-
clared to have been the intention of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan not to make public the other
paper addressed to Mr. Bryan as "My Dear
Mr. Bryan" or to have it brought to the
knowledge of Mrs. Bennett. The several
clauses to which objection is taken, the sealed
letter and the letter to Mr. Bryan are declared
to have been prepared at Lincoln, Neb., by
Mr.. Bryan and his wife without the knOwl-
edge of Mrs. Bennett and without the knowl-
edge or presence of any Of Mr.. Benefits
family or business associates. Allegations of
undue influence are made concerning all the
clauses appealed from.

British Politics,

London, Dec. l2.-The Duke Of Dew
onshire has become the hero of the liber-
ais. His speech on November oath, in
which he advised the unionists OF the
country to vote against the preferential
tariff candidates of Joseph Chamberlain,
has been widely quoted by all free trad
ers, and the Duke has sprungt to the front
ranks OF the opposition to the Zollverein
policy. 1t is now suggested as likely
that the outcome of the next election
will be q coalition ministry of liberals
and unionist free traders, with Devon
shire as premier. His attitude has in
fused new life into the free traders who
are now more confident of victory than
at any time since the campaign began.
