NEW YoRK's BATHTUB HOTEL
Hosiery in the Eastern Metropolis
That is Unique


There is rapidly approaching compile
ton on Broadway hotel building
which has certain peculiarities of arch
itecture which attract the attention of
many who pass. The most striking
thing about it is the small number of
large windows and the large number of
small windows. The large windows are
single, rather than double, and on
either side of each large window is a
small one. One is at a loss to account
for it unless one happens to see a sign
on the corner Of the building, which
says that the So-and-so hotel will be
opened shortly with 1900 rooms and
200 bathrooms" The small windows,
Of course, indicate the bathrooms.
"They might have called it the
Bathtub hotel" remarked an old hotel
man, as he studied the building from
the opposite corner. 1T is the most
impressive evidence I've yet seen Of the
American craze for bathing. I can re-
member the time, and it was not SO
many years age at that, when hotels
thought they were well equipped Ii
they had@one bathroom on a floor. 1t
was used by evryone on that floor, and
we charged a quarter for towels and
service. This new hotel, with nearly
as many bath as guest rooms, shows to
what extreme the travelling public has
pushed the room and bath idea. IL 1t
keeps on some enterprising hotel man
will be offering a room and two baths,'
and he'll find plenty of occupants -

Winter Will Be Mild

Thomas Corklecorb, who has lived
near this place for eighty y-seven years,
and who has always been a close OBJ
server of natures signs, says that to
see heavy sleet hanging on the fruit
trees early in the winter is a never
falling sign Of a big fruit crop the
coming season.
Mr.. Corklecorb declares that the
present winter will be a comparatively
mild one, and gives as his reason for
this assertion the lifelong observation
of certain natural phenomena connect
ed with the cat. A normally construct
ed cat contains from 11,000 to $4,000
hairs at this season of the year, under
conditions; that is. where the tail has
not suffered loss through nischievous
boys, tormenting dogs, scalding wa
ter, other members of the feline race,
etc. On the approach of very mild
winter the undisturbed tail Of
healthy cat will contain about 1900
hairs, while a severe winter will be
ushered in with about 1900 hairs to
a cat tail. The seventeen tails that
Mr.. Corklecorb has already counted
have averaged H. ,204 hairs.-Richmorld

character of the central gem, which the
CLINT does most effectively. This par
ticular mother has treasured two of
these precious incisors, one of the first
born and one of the second, ard they
are identical in size, shape and color.
Just before Thanksgiving day the sug-
gestion came to her, and she consulted
an expert in jewel setting, entrusting
to his care two precious mites of ivory
and explaining her idea. She wasn't
certain of its practicability, but yes
terday she received the pair of golden
circlets, with the milk tooth set so
skillfully in each that a dozen or more
friends were unable to determine what
the middle stone was. One wise grand
father, regarded as an authority on
everything from beans to bricks, said
it was dead" opal, deprived of its
opalescence through some misfortune
of it's owner, and was upset when in

An Arabian Oath

"He does not mind that OATH" ex-
claimed Alex and Josef Abeod, who
are Arabians, when another Of their
race, Ali Ackmet, had been sworn on
Bible in special sessions court yester-
day. They were charged with assault,
and he was witness against them.
'T will swear as Arabians swear"
said the witness, and he placed his hat
on his head, faced to the east and then
removed his hat.
'I swear by the beard Of the prophet" :"
he said, and this, as all the rest of the
conversation, was translated for the
judges, "and by the Kaaba, by the sa

Baby Was kIsmet

The women of Ujiji, an old Arab town
en- the northeast coast OF Lake Tangan-
yika, are devoted to their children, but
are not less fond of the sport provided
for them by the myriads of brilliant, sill
very little fish in the lake.
In this connection an interesting story
is told by a correspondent writing from
Ujiji.
The natives keenly relish the fish, which
are but an inch and a half long, and are
as thin as pencil; and when shoal is
seen the men go out in their canoes and
the women and children rush down to the
shore.
Skillfuliy the shoai is driven toward the
women, who stand In the water in rows
waiting to catch the fish in cloths. The
correspondent story shows that every
thing is forgotten in the excitement of the
chase.

the sport, she plunged into the water with

A. Chameleon Hen

Wesley Lindabury's Leghorn hen is
in the public eye again, and poultry
farmers in and around Fairmount are
much mystified at her chameleon-like
proclivity for changing color. Last
summer she was white; now she is
brown. This particular hen is five
years old, and for the past two years
has been the chief attraction of the
neighbors at the Lindabury hennery.
She was raised by hand by Mr.. Linda
bury, and belongs to the brown Leg
horn variety. Last spring she turned
from brown to pure white. In Septem-
Der brown feathers began reappearing,
and today she Is seal brown in color.
In speaking of this extraordinary
hen Mr.. Lindabury says that during
the past two years the changes have
taken place twice a year, in the spring
and fall. She lis the champion egg pro-
ducer of flock of 200 fowls.-New

THE GROWING OF THE YEAR

The rose is dead, but still the bee has
slipped
The honey that was held within its
heart
The heavy sweetness of the dew that
From petals that the sun had coaxed
apart.
The orchard trees are bare, their lacing
Trace weblike patterns on the graying
sky;
The northern winds creep through like
murmured hymns
Or sober chants that softly rise and
die.
And yet the ruddy apples that they bore
Have caught and held the sunshine; and
they bring
The morns and nights of June to us
once more
And all the blossom breath of early
spring.
The fields are still; where once the wheat
Laughed in the gladness of the sum-
mer noon.
And waved saluting banners to the morn
And whispered softly in a twilight
There, now, the barren stubble meets the
eye,
And tn there the end of harvest days is
But granaries are heaped both wide and
high.
AS crucibles that catch the finer gold
So sun and rain have wrought their year
ly task,
Have given of their bitter and their
sweet;
The earth, that yields US freely when we
. ask,
Has left her summer fruitage at our
feet.
And now the trees and fields have earn
ed their rest
And we may read the message that is
sent;
When We have done our all, and done
We, too, may fold our arms and be con-

This doll-that lacks but speech to be

This china-that might shine at grown

This sled, these skates-what other could

Such bright. bewildering wonderments
as these?
It's hard to understand? / know it is!
The journey from far north, the mystic
way
In which he comes and goes. The secrets

Perhaps you'll have it from himself

But no, see brother mount his fine, new
steed
In all the rapture OF unshaken faith.
Renew your own and smile-a smile in
Less pitiably like the old ones wrath.

When life's decline you wearffully press?
O learn learn now, to hold tenaciously
To everything that makes for happiness.

Though Santa Claus may sigh and share

He'll never, never come to you again!

CROOKED GLASSES

If things were as they look through crook
ed glasses,
The fences would be crinkled like a
ruff;
The trolley car that by the window passes
Would be composed Of flowing. waving

The faces of our friends would be dis

Their bodies be misshapen, warped and
queer
In fact, the world would all be ill-assort-
If things were as they oftentimes ap

If things were as they looked through
crooked glasses,
Gods kindness would be merciless and
hard;
There'd be in all the world two only
classes
The favored and the always evil-star-

The aches that find our hearts would

But always make us bitter DER our

If things were as they seem. we'd falter
But thanks to him who made us, they
