Bathing and Health.

A cold bath-we might as we'll get
at the straight of the thing-is not
really matter of cleanliness so much
as matter of getting the skin livened
up and the capillaries and veins next
to the surface full of blood. Ice cold
water or scalding hot water will do
that, but tepid water-no, no!
The skin is almost exactly the same
kind of an excreting organ as the
lungs. The same products seep through
the pores as are carried off in the
breath, and the air purifies the blood
in the same way. But the greater
part Of the skin is smothered up in
clothes day and night. What the cold
water Of the bath dissolves is matter.
we'll away. And the rubbing dry is
pretty vigorous exercise if you want
to know. Any rubbing is bound to
push the blood along toward the heart
and help the circulation, because there
are valves in the veins which prevent
the blood from going in any other di-
rection than toward the heart. What
ever loose flakes of outer cuticle are
rubbed off we needn't worry about;
plenty more where they came from.
The extra food the increased appetite
demands will make good that trifing
loss.,-Eugene Wood, in Everybody's
Magazine.

Indians Nose Breathing.

An English scientist thinks it unnec-
essary that children should be taught
to breathe through the nostrils only
and maintains that they cannot do so
under the stress of active exertion.
London Hospital thinks otherwise.
Among the North American aborigines
at a time when they were capable Of
extraordinary physical exertion the
precept ito shut your mouth was en-
forced upon the young by the most Sc
we're discipline.
Catlin founded upon his experiences
among the American tribes a curious
book upon the subject After depicting
open mouthed men and boys in every
variety of ugliness and stupidity, hE
says that he refrains from giving Illus
trations Of the fairer sex and would
only remind them, while counseling
them to be careful about closure of the
mouth at night, that Idiots asleep
cannot be angels awake"
The scientist declares that not all
nostrils are sufficiently wide to permit
of breathing being conducted through
them to the exclusion of the mouth,
but it is is certain that nothing would
tend more than breathing through
them to promote their development.

ly enough, as she admitted to herself,

the morning found her mind unchang-
ed, with determine ton fixed to take
advantage Of her leap year preroga-
tives.
The writer of the letter had gone
over in her mind its prospective con-
suit her editorial revision had ''boiled
it down" until it was brief and to the
point. 1t ran as follows:
Dear Frank-You have been COM
ing to see me for several years, and
the evenings spent together have made
me think how pleasant it would be if
we could go Oh spending them togeth-
er the rest Of our lives. Has the idea
ever occurred to you? MIRIAM"
Miss Leslie heard her brother pass
her door, preparatory to starting for
business, and she no longer waited for
the ink to dry, but grabbed a piece Of
blotting-paper and the letter was soon
in the hands of her brother, who was
told that it was important and that it
must be mailed by him when on the
way to his office. The brothers de-
parture was timely, as Miriam had be-
gun to weaken in her determination,
and as she gave him the letter she said
to herself: Here's where | don't get
a chance to change my mind" She
did, however, have many changes of
mind through the day, which seemed
to her one Of unusual length. Soon af-
ter her brother had left she was tempt
ed to telephone to him to try to get the
letter back from the postoffice, but
she didn't know if that would be posi-
BILE, and besides the request would
cause her brother to ask a good many
questions which it would be awkward
for her to answer, and so the request
was not made.
By the afternoon mail Miriam re-
ceived a letter addressed in the we'll
known handwriting of the young man
to whom she had proposed. rs it pos
sible that he has answered so quick
ly?" she asked herself, as she held the
envelope in her hand, fearing to open
it. She had had little experience as
writer and knew that quick returns
usually meant no sales, and her first
thought was that Frank had declined
the honor of being her husband. That
was a notifying thought in itself, and
the continuation of the train, of thought
suggested by the comparison of her Of
fer with the manuscript was not a
comforting one.
She had offered herself, even as she
had been wont to submit a story or
poem to an editor. The only consola-
ton she could get out Of the COMPARE
son was found in the thought that she
wasn't exactly placing herself on the
market, as if one editor, Frank Web

HARD RIDING in NORTHWEST

Ha1fbreed Who Made 100 Miles in
Ten Hours.
"You people who came here since
the railroads were built have an idea
that we used to have a bad time Of
it in getting about Washington Terri
tory" said the Old-timer the other
day. That's where you are wrong.
Distances were no greater than they
are now. True, we didn't always go
so fast as you do now, but we made
speed that would astonish you.
II remember one trip an old friend
Of mine made, big cattle man from
Kittitas County, afterward the owner
of considerable property in Seattle. His
divorced wife was living here, and she
took it into her head to 60 after him
through the courts for non-payment of
alimOny. There were number of rea-
sons why he shouldn't pay, but he
didn't care to stay here and argue it
out with the court, so, getting a tip
on what was doing, he decided to go
back to the cattle in Kittitas. About
6 o'clock one evening, accompanied
by his horse wrangler, who happened
to be here with him, he struck out
horseback for Ellensburg. The two
rode all night-it was in midsummer
and at the full of the moon-and the
next morning they ate breakfast in
Ellensburg-10O miles away. And they

that.
Rides? Why, l could talk all day
about rides in those days. One of
the best ever done in the territory,
however, was that by a young half
breed during the Nez Perces uprising
of 1877. When Joseph went out with
his band one Of the first things they
did was to cut the military telegraph
between Fort Lapwai up the Clear
water river from Lewiston and Walla
Walla. Fort Lapwai wanted to send
dispatches to Gen. Howard at the post
at Walla Walla, and wanted to send
them bad. At that time nearly all the
Indians on the reservation had q half
breed or at least one pretty good horse
in his riding string. This particular
young half-breed boy had an extra
good one, and he was selected to carry
the dispatches, being a reliable and
faithful fellow Well, he rode through
to Walla Walla in ten hours, distance
of 12O miles, and during the ride he
never slowed down from a gallop.
That was in midsummer, and if you
ever have been in that Snake river
region at this season of the year you
can imagine that was some riding.''-

MIRIAM LESLIE'S PROPOSAL.
CS

p DON'T care if it is unmaidenly,
man loves me, and what is leap
year for if it isn't to give girls an op-
portunity to help out those of the other
sex who don't know how to help them
selves? So here goes! He can't more
than refuse, and he won't do that; but
whatever the verdict, l know that
he is too honorable ever to breathe
word of the affair.""
When Miriam Leslie had concluded
the delivery Of this speech, which had
only Miriam for an attentive audience,
she sat down at her desk at once and
began to write the letter which she
had planned the night BEFORE, after
Frank Webster had left the house. She
had parted from him with smile on
her lips, but the smile had lasted only
long enough for the door to close upon
him, and as Miriam had entered her
room she had looked far from happy.
She had enjoyed Franks call; but it
had ended as unsatisfac torily as had
all the others, in that words which
would have made her happy, and
which she believed had been almost
upon his lips many times, had again
remained unspoken. If the man she
loved wouldn't take a hint, he must
be given something broader than
hint, and when Miriam went to sleep
it was with the determination to write
a letter on the morrow that even a
stupid man might understand. Strange

Butterflies and Moths.

Though butterflies and moths are
found widely distributed all over the
globe, they are by far most abundant
in the tropics. For instance, Brazil
can show to the collector not less than
roo different species within an hours
walk Of Para. There are not half as
many i'll all Europe. In Britain there
are 81 species, and in all Europe there
are 800 different kinds. They are
found as far north as Spitzbergen, on
the Alps to a height of 5000 feet and
on the Andes up to $4,000 feet. AS
there are some 100000 species it is
easy to see why butterfly hunters are
great travellers.

I'm sorry, sis, after all you said
about the Importance of that letter;
but-well, I've had an awful busy day
of it and l forgot to mail it. Here

Her arms were around his neck in
an instant. You dear, darling, forget

as he looked at her in amazement.
Now that you have forgotten to mail
the letter, just forget another thing;
forget that l asked you to mail it,
And the brother, who dearly loved
Miriam, and knew from her earnest
ness that it was important to her that
he should say nothing about the let
ter, kept her secret faithfully. But he
marveled as the days went by at her
continued sweetness to him, until she
told him of her engagement and then
he explained the problem to himself
by saying that there was nothing like
requited love to change a woman's dis
position. And to this day Miriam's
brother believes that her happiness in
loving and being loved saved him from
a scolding the day he forgot to mail
her letter. Miriam has been married
for ten years, and in all that time has
kept only one thing from her husband
That is the dark secret Of the letter

A GIRLS NATURE.
Little Signs That, 1T Is Said, Reveal
Phases of Character.


Much of a girls nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing a speck
off a mans coat. If she picks off the
thread or imaginary bit of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger it is an indisputable sign that
she is woman of very practical and
executive character.
On the other hand, if a girl should
brush the coat lapel of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger of her hand in her en-
deavOr to remove an invisible speck it
is sure sign that she is more senti-
mental than practical. The man who
marries her will live in continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping.
There is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck off a mans
coat with a broad sweep of the hand
in which all the fingers and thumb
play part. She is in all probability
an athletic girl who excels at tennis,
golf and the links and who will prove
a high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower in a mans coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips Of her
fingers is sure to be something of
coquette, while the maid who gives
you only the tips of her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room or
public street is probably an ambitious
girl.-Chicago Journal.

they read in their paper Therefore
preventive medicine could easily be in
stilled into the minds of this body.

From earliest times the laws delay
has been subject for denunciation. The
pompous pretense that the machinery
Of the law must move at slow and
dignified pace, is as strictly kept UP to-
day as in olden times. How much the
hunger of lawyers and court officials
for accommodating fees influences de-
lays is a question which it might be
indicate to discuss. The case Of
Harry Gagan of Cleveland, injured by
a railway train, which was begun
through his guardian ten years ago,
when he was boy Of IL and which
went up through all the courts and
was remanded to the original court for
retrial, has now been held invalid be-
cause the boy has become Of age ami
must sue in his own name. There
are cases like this occurring every day
all over the country. John Rudnik Of
Chicago was injured in 1885. In 1904
the Supreme Court Of Illinois award
ed him $4,000. If the person or firm
in whose employ he was injured was
prudent enough to put away a sum of
$4,000 in 1885 the beneficent opera
ton of the principle Of compound in
terest at 6 per cent has by this time
added $4,000 to the original deposit.
The injurer gets the $4,000. The in
jured gets the $4,000 Evidently a
A
leg is crushed earns his money when
the crushing happens. If appeals, de-
murrers, replies, rejoinders and other
jockeyings lead justice astray for 10
to suffer. A case similar to Rudnik's
came to light not long ago. A young
girl was compelled to wait nine years
for the $4,000 which constituted the
had received. Such delays give an un-
fair advantage to the stronger party.
A corporation can pay for lawyers, for
costs and for appeals till the poor liti-
some return to the poor litigant for the
money that he has lost meanwhile. If
interest were paid on final awards,
there would be less resistance to just
demands. The volume of litigation
would shrink and the damage claim
ant, with right on his side, would not
be deprived by legal filibustering of
large part of the value of his claim
that is, of it's interest-bearing capac-
ity. There can be no question that
thousands of worthy causes are never
taken into court because Of the lack Of
means for the long litiga ton. The de-
lay Is often SO extreme that even when
the courts grant the redress that is
due 1t comes too late to afford the re-
lief that might have been given if all
the resources of the machinery Of JUS
tice had not been used to deprive the
sufferer of what should have beeA
promptly awarded. Railways and 9TH
er corporations, whose numerous en-
ployGs are liable to be injured or killed,
complain bitterly of the damage suits
that are brought against them on mere
speculation. This Is the natural and
legitimate result of their influence upon
the procedure in courts. The widow
and orphans of a poor man who has
been killed by such corporation
would be utterly helpless to support a
long continued contest in court, except
for the Nemesis who comes in the per-
son of the lawyer who takes damage
suits on speculation.
