LuxuRIss FOB SERVANTS.
Private Baths aud Suites in Some of
the Newest Houses.


the Newest Houses.
The new palaces built In this city
every year do not supply luxuries for
their owners alone. The employees are
also looked after and provision is made
for their comfort to degree never
known anywhere else.
In one Of the new houses on an up
town street near the avenue the man
servants quarters consist Of three small
rooms on the top door. Adjoining them
is a small tiled room with shower
and plunge bath and sprays. In the
same room are three basins In order
that the men may all wash stimuli
taneously II they want to.
Downstairs adjoining the entrance
hall is another sleeping-room for a man
servant, ami II has as much light and
air as any In the house, in addition TO
having a private bath.
The rooms for the woman servents
are on the third floor, and accommodate
six. They are so arranged that two
sleep In each room and have the use
of a bathroom In addition to these
apartments there are two rooms and
a bath to be used by any servant who
happens to be Ill. These two rooms are
so situated that & servant In them
may be quarantined so completely as
II out OF the house.
/ Adjoining the nursery and separated
1 from it only by a dressing-room is the
apartment OF the head nurse, which is,
of course, supplied with Its private
bath. Near the room OF the mistress
Of the house is the room OF her maid,
and 1t has the same conveniences as
| the others.
Thus are the servants OF the wealthy
housed. When 1t Is taken into con
sideration that these rooms are kept In
order and supplied with everything
needful by the housekeeper, the lot OF
the household servant In the United
States seems more desirable than ever
Most houses In which a large stat
of servants are employed have also
sittingroom for their diversion. o.

THE sAMURAI AND JlU-JlTSU.
The Most Wanderfui System OF Ath-
1etics Known in the World.

The Most Wanderful System OF Ath-
Ietics Known in the World.
More than twenty-five hundred years
ago there sprang into existence, In
Japan, an order of knights who were
known as the samural. To them was
impaired all the learning, the polite
breeding, and the forms of superiority
that mark the gentleman. They were
skilled In arms and versed In the arts
of war, for they were the Emperor's
hghting-men, and none but they were
allowed to bear arms.
As there could not always be war on
hand, and as 1t was considered beneath
the dignity of the samurai to go into
any ordinary callings. 1t came about
naturally that these little knights found
much idle time on their hands. Being
men OF war, they turned their attention
to athletic feats. One among the
samurai conceived the idea OF learning,
by practice, the location Of every sensi-
tive nerve and muscle In the body.
After that he discovered ell the joints
of the bones that could be seized in
such way as to give momentary power
over the muscles of an adversary. He
practiced with his fellow samurai, and
thus by degrees was developed the
most wonderful system of athletics
known in the world. The japanese call
this work jlu-jitsu. The deft pressures
applied in the practice Of jiu-jitsu pro
duce only momentary pain but do not
really injure the muscles or nerves
In all other things the japanese are the
most polite people in all the world
so 1t follows that even in their fighting
they have developed a humane yet
effective method of self-defense. They
do not strike out with the clenched
fist. and seek to brulse, as do the
Anglo-Sexons in their boxing contests
A knowledge of the jiu-jitsu enables
one almost instantly to convince hi:
opponent that it is useless to fight
There are now schools Of jiu-jitst
everywhere in Japan. Every soldier
sailor. and policeman is obliged TO per

the disgusting symptoms return.
.hroat can be kept clear OF mucous
and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance
and source of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces a feeling OF
personal defilement, and the odor OF
the breath is almost intolerable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid
neys and Bladder. 1t attacks the
soft bones and tissues of the head
and throat, causing total or partial
Deafness, the loss of smell, and Civ
ing to the voice rasping, nasal
twang. No part of the body is secure
from its ravages. Catarrh makes
you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease Of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
powders and salves have proven
failures.
The way to cure Catarrh thor
oughly and permanently is to cleanse
the blood OF the unhealthy secretions
that keep the membranes OF the body
inflamed, and nothing does this so
surely and promptly as S. S. S. AS
long as the blood is poisoned with
Catarrhal matter the discharge OF
