THE OLD-FASHiONED BATH.
An 1nvigorating Indulgence Espe- cially Beneficial to Persons
 Who Are filling.

An 1850 bath is the very latest ching. It is bath made of sweet scented water in which there is enough . acid to be invigorating. It is a bath of a previous generation and it is one which every athlete of the present day should try. says the Brooklyn Eagle !
 To make an 1880 bath take tub ol hot water and pour into it quart ot bath vinegar if one can afford 1t. Il one cannot indulge in this extrava- gance, then take pint. If this is too much at least pour in few table spoonfuls.
 S A bath in bath vinegar is good for the muscles. It drives away rheuma- tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the thing for stiff neck, and it takes tho ache out of tired bones.
 A rose geranium bath is recom- mended to those who have neuralgia and sharp aches and pains. There is something very soothing about the odor of rose gerapium. It lulls the senses as not even violets can do.
 The aromatic bath, partly ammonia
  the bath of baths for the woman with a weak heart. Let the woman whose heart does not beat we'll practice walk ing Let her take the walking exer- cises vigorously. Then let her tak4 a bath in aromatic vinegar and let hei finally steep her nose in bottle of the vinegar, and while she is dressing lei a saucer of it stand in tne room. Thi; is the best way to get the full scent of the vinegar and the best results from it.
 Camphorated baths are much toe powerful for any but the sick. The person who has sprains or bruises can take a mild camphorated bath, but il is not a pleasant bath nor one which can be recommended for daily use Taken all in all there is nothing quite as pleasant as the rose geranium bath nor one that is cheaper. A great bot tie, half a gallon. of the scent can be made for dollar and this will last . long time.

A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
Learn to Do the Little Things That Give Enjoyment to Yourself
 and Others.

It is the girl who does things in this world who is attractive, both to men and to her own sex, which last counts little, too, in the. long run. You may not be able to do great things, to paint great pictures or to sing in grand opera, but you can learn to make bright little things for yourself and your friends and perhaps the light catchy airs of the day so that your friends will enjoy them, and if you can't do anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sympathetic, says Good Housekeep- ing.
 Every girl can do one thing well fl she will only take the trouble to find is that she often looks in the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all. But there are other talents within reach fl she will only look, and these -talenta may be such comfort to her in her dark hours that they will make life better and happier both for herself and those about her.
 How the world likes a cheerful plucky girl who makes a brave fight and hides her skeleton in a closet in stead of folding her hands and whin. ing because things don't come her way the girl who puts her own griefs as much as possible aside and whc takes wholesome interest in life-is the one who wins out every time.

A WORD OF COMFORT !]!||
 To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism if, ali its various forms, in. cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which arc acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgia troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi- cal apd mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and it is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, inflamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti- nate cases of Rheumatic Swel1ings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in a5 cent, and 50 cent, and <r oo bottles. Write for book of testimo- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. S, A.

SHE WAS ALL PREPARED,
So That When Hobson Sneezed His Good Wife Was Right There
 with the Remedy.

Mr. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson remarked that he must have caught cold. MT. Hobson is one of those men who hate to have a fuss made over them. He has been trying to impress that fact on his wife's mind for 20 years. relates the Chicago Daily News.
 What makes you think I've taken cold?" he demanded, irritably.
 You sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob son.
 That doesn't signify" He paused.
 But it does signify It is one of the first signs of cold. You went out with the ashes this morning without thing round your neck" T always do." "And now you've caught cold" MT. HobsOn returned to the reading of his newspaper without replying. In a few moments Mrs. Hobson said: Henry"
 "Well?"
 "Youve got to do something for that cold"
 Cant sneeze without being accused of cold? Is there any law against sneezing, or dc have to get a permit from the health department?" "I don't see anything foolish in taking a cold in time" Mrs. Hobson said. calm ly. 'Tf you would let me put your feet in hot water and mustard, and get you to bed"
 MT. Hobson resumed his paper, and as he did so he felt an annoying tickling in his nose. He struggled heroically for nearly half minute. Then he sneezed again.
 There" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan- choly triumph. You've sneezed again" !" I've sneezed twice, and I'm not ashamed of It." Hobson replied, coldly. ''f feel like it. I'm going to sneeze again. I'm" Three successive and violent sternu- tations interrupted him.
 Nov will you let me heat that water. Henry?"
 "No, thank you"
 "Will you take some quinine, then? ?" 'No."
 Mrs. Hobson sighed.
 "Sneezes," MT. Hobson explained, of a sensitive membrane. The irritation may be caused by the introduction of any small particle of foreign matter, such as a grain of dust Snuff has been known to produce sneeze; so has pepper. You can get up a fairly good imitation by tickling the nostrils with straw. It is not, as you imagine, an infallibie tndt- cation of cold"
 "I suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, reflect lively. "that you would object to an onion poultice, too?" q
 Hobson rose from his chair and started for the door. With his hand on the knob he paused to say, with dignity: n''I'm going up to my room now. I'vegot some work to do so guess had better be alone for the rest of the evening" ' Hobson sneezed twice on the way up- stairs. Then the door of his den closed explosively. Fifteen minutes later the door opened and Hobson's voice called down the stairs: 'Maria!"
 What Is 1t. dear?"
 "Say, if you think really ought to take hot foot bath suppose it won't do any particular harm, whether I've got a cold or not. Would it be troubling you too much to heat the water?"
 Mrs. Hobson's voice replied cheer fully:
 "It's all ready now, dear. I've heated 1t and got some blankets nice and hot. When you're ready I'll bring them up." ,A@en 1Aurn -nr ~lnac

A Danger Point.

General Sherman Bell Is about to
leave Colorado for Mexico. He will
be remembered as commander OF the
forces that for months kept Cripple
Creek and other parts of the State
under martial law. He is a natural
fighter, a disciplinarian. and If he is
afraid Of anything the fact never
has been discovered. He was a Rough
Rider during the war with Spain, but
his experiences there were only mild
ly stimulating compared with the
later ones in the heart Of a prosperous
country at peace.
General Bell has done enough 10
make him worth quoting. In a re-
cent interview he said that if there
were to be a revolution in this coun-
try It would start from Cripple Greek.
which he regarded as the powder
magazine OF the nation. The remark
demonstrated the influence OF en-
yironment The point of view mis-
led the vision. There was once a
farmer who thought he saw a hog
in the meadow. but ascertained that
what he really had seen was an insect
that had found Judgment in his eye
lash. General Bell sees an insect. and
errs in the attempt at classification.
Colorado was in "A turmoil for a
long time. A certain element. com
bined in the form Of a labor union,
became lawless and arrogant. To
preserve order and protect citizens
the militia was called out. The OBJ
iectionable element was bullied into
decent behavior. Having witnessed
its subiugation. and been elated at
the spectacle, the citizens IN turn be-
came lawlesg and arrogant, and were
guilty Of gross outrage, in many in
stances visited upon women and chill
dren.
However. the situation adjusted it.

the statutes cannot hang him or place

But it is not to be inferred that

Il buzzes and rattles in the task of
visiting punishment upon this pur-
veyor of painful death. There is a
suspicion that In making liquor in
his cellar he outraged the regula-
tons supposed to guide the con-
scienuOus rectiher. and the Govern
ment won't stand any such foolish
ness. The offender is in grave dan
ger of a fine. Regret is expressed that
he can't be held for evasion of the
tax, too. but as wood alcohol is not
taxed. and he used no other, he has
what might be called the laugh on
the Government there.
Anybody who desires to kill of
a few obnoxious people has only to
start a wood alcohol bazaar, tap bar

the rest. or course, he might occa-
sion some unpleasant comment, or
occasionally catch a victim not on

dents that do not seem TO rise above
the dignity of trifles.

The election was important. of

portant event which will mark No

No doubt the readers of The Times
noted this awesome prospect, and
made ready 10 follow the Wanderings
of these intrepid explorers. But it
is doubtful in the extreme If they
absorbed all the details of the expe-
dition. as set forth in the following
paragraph:
The members Of the committee will be
Representatives and also by some United
States Senators. The transport Sum
ner will be placed at their disposal for
the tour ana they viii go direct from
New York TO Colon.
The Times is not selfish, but It does
wish it might go along On that jour
ney. To be sure the risk is great.
1t is true the members of the party
take their digestive integrity in their
hands. But consider the glory-and
the feed.

Directing to Peace.

The movement for promotion OF
peace has won general approval. The
fact that not an argument can be ad-
duced in favor of war that cannot
be cited with equal fairness to sus-
tain murder, appeals TO human in
telligence.
However, not all the criticism evok-
ed is friendly. In Berlin the "Kreutz-
Zeitung" voices a decided exception.
II makes the admission that efforts
in the direction of peace may be
harmless" which is very good of it,
indeed. Certainly, the intent is that
they shall be not only harmless, but
a potent influence for good.
The fear of the "Zeitung" seems TO
be that America plunged into a
peace craze" may conceive the notion
that it must be the policeman of the
world. Silly as this conclusion must
anpear to the normal senses, it hap
pens 10 be little more than the echo
of sentiments heard from the stump
during the recent campaign, and ut
tered by professional orators, paid
for enlightening the plain people.
Therefore. pride dictates that the
phase Of mere foolishness be ignored.
The "Zeitung" affirms that the COS
pei of peace, save as to the United
States, is being preached by peoples
of the third or fourth class" This
courteous exemption Will be appre-
ciated But the paper is mistaken
IN its estimate. There is not a civ
ilized power Of any class but con-
tains a respectable and growing ele-
ment openly opposed TO war. This
is true even of Russia. 1t is true
OF Germany, where militarisr IS re-
garded not only as a hateful but as
a useless burden.
The theory of the dissenter is that
war can come TO an end only by
the will OF the combatants, but this
desire, il considers, must arise spOn-
taneously. Evidently, the writer haa
neglected the usual preliminary of
looking into his subject That two
nations as powerful as Russia and
Japan may fight, if they choose, to
the humiliation Of one of them. will
not be denied. Any war that is ac-
tually raging may be regarded as
beyond cure The hope of the inter-
national peace proponents is that of
teaching nations a better fashion
than fighting, a wiser course than ap-
pealing 20 arms, a finer utilization OF
capacity than the sustenance Of regi-
ments prepared for battle
If this movement is "chiTherical"
and offensive" as the Berlin journal
declares. the fault is not with the
movement. but with the stupidity
that fails TO place upon the impor-
lance. dignity, and benefcence Of it
