In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere habit which may
have lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always as
hot as it can be borne. To foreigners
this habit seems very surprising, but
the most inveterate Englishman, if he
stays in the country long enough, aban-
dons his cold tub in its favor.
The cold taking which, it is suspect.
ed, must follow it is not found to occur
if the water has been hot enc lgh. This
heat is maintained by a little furnace
beneath the bath. In the bath the
bather or bathers take a prolonged
soaking, the washing proper being done
on the bathroom floor; then follow a
second and final soaking, drying with
towel and a lounge in bathing wrapper.
This habit seems to promote softness
and suppleness of the skin and by per-
sons inclined to rheumatism is soon
found to be altogether preferable to
the cold bath in every particular. The
poorest of the Japanese hear of cold
bath with amazement and would be
sure the man who used it must be a
barbarian.

The Bachelor.

A western editor pays this tribute to
a type which has not its fair share of
song and story: "The bachelor repre-
sents the most congenial and big heart,
ed type of our commonwealth Els
name, while held in public derision by
host of people, will always remain
closely interviewer in the history of
pioneer life. He it was who pushed
out into the wild and woolly west at q
time when the buffalo, Indians and
coyote were lords of the prairies and
by persistent efforts and under priva-
ton and want led a heroic life by
converting vast areas of the barren
wilderness into fertile lands of peace
and plenty. Then, without aid of femi-
nine piety to keep vigil over his every
day acts, this sturdy empire builder
remained at his post, blazing out the
path of fame and introducing thrift
and civilization in his wake. Like the
cowboy he is slowly passing into his
tory, but his fame is as farreaching as
civilization, his name indelibly stamped
on the pages of history, while the hum
BILE dugout with its original environ
ments will appear in scenic pictures
above the footlights of future genera
tons"

In Luck,n Way.

Custom house men have sometimes
made other captures besides those of
contraband goods. A man who had eff
fected aheavy jewelry robbery in a sea-
port town was retreating with his
plumber and, having deposited it in a
boat, he rowed himself across the har-
Dor to timber wharf, landed and. put
ting the sack across his shoulders, was
making off, when Il revenue officer,
who had been doing among the tim
Der, reused by the noise. came out and
stopped him and asked what he had
got in the sack. He quickly replied:
You are welcome to lcok. I'll go on
board and fetch the other" And off the
went, and, as may be imagined, he did
not turn up again, as no other sack eX-
listed. The officer on opening the bag
was rather astonished to f..d it full of
watches and spoons instead of a few
hundred cigars, such as sailors some
times try to land.

nenconsleld,s Love-.

Disraeli, afterward Lord Beacons-
field, wrote to his sister when he was a
young man: by the bye, would you
like Lady Y. for a sister-in-law-
very clever, f25,000 and domestic? AS
for love, all my friends who married
for love and beauty either beat their
wives or live apart from them. This is
literally the case. l may commit many
follies in life but | never intend to
marry for love- which | am sure is a
guarantee of infelicity"
Within four years Dlsraeli had mar
ried, not Lady H., but the rich widow
of Wyndham Lewis, of whom he had
written on meeting her for the first
time: "A pretty little woman, a hirt
and a rattle; indeed, gifted with vol
utility l should think unequaled and
of which l can convey no idea. She
told me that she liked silent, melan-
choly men, answered that bad no
doubt of it."

opponents of the new school winning by
