A cold bnth-we might as we'll get ut

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 great
er part Of the skin is smothered up in
clothes day and night. What the cold
water Of the bath dissolves is matter

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 d.
rection than toward the heart. What

Restaurant hospitality is a remarka-
BILE feature OF the times, and many is
the weary housewife who blesses the
arrangement. 1t lifts from her oil wor-

q chance Of enjoyment as any Of her
guests. The very popularity Of this
form Of entertaining, however, con.
stitutes excellent photographs OF mod.
ern society. The first thing that
strikes one on entering is the babel Of
voices. Every one screams. Women
who should be and ostensibly are so
ciety leaders yell their remarks. 1t Is
not unusual to see crossed knees, ell
bows on table and cigarettes when the
meal is over. To certain extent. per-

different species within an hours walk

species. and in all Europe there are 800
different kinds. They are found as far
north as Spitzbergen, on the Alps to
height Of 5000 feet and on the Andes
up to $4,000 feet. As there are some
100000 species 1t is easy to see why
butterfly hunters are great travellers.

Picnic Season Here,
Lots of People Glad

The summer picnic still prevails, and has
to-day, II that be possible, a greater
popularity than ever.
There are held nowadays in the season
many monster political picnics, outings
given by district political leaders, at which
entertainment h provided for thousands,
requiring fleets Of steamboats, and barges
for their transportation 70 and from the
picnic grounds, and calling for a well or
Ranized commissary department to provide
and distribute the enormous quantities Of
supplies required for the feeding Of COM
panies so numerous.
There are also given at this season in
Vulnerable outings-outing is a favorite
word for this form Of entertainment-of
political organizations and clubs and Of
numberless private associations, many OF
these bearing the name OF their president or
organizer, and many others OF them bear
ing names quaint or curious or fantastic.
There is no end TO these lesser organiza-
tions or coteries, OF TO the strange names
they bear. Banners are swung across the
street or great tTansparencies are
placed in front Of the headquarters Of the
greater organizations announcing well in
advance the outing Of one or another associa-
ton, and placards displayed in windows,
OF printed small bills that can be put un
almost anywhere, and which are posted
in the neighborhood or district from whicn
their members and guests are drawn, an

Il Is pretty generally agreed that the
population Of the city Of New York, as IL
viii be shown in this years state census
10 be taken in May and June, will certainly
reach and will most probably exceed 900 600
It Is pretty generally agreed, also, that at
the present rate Of increase as shown by
the Health Board and other reports, the
population Of the city by the next Federal
census in 1910 will not be below 100000.
How many New Yorkers-natives Of
New York-are there in the city at present
out Of the total population Of s,4S7,2o2 five
years ago and 100000 now2

only two we're actual LondonerS, the others
having come from other parts Of England,
from Ireland or Scotland or from Condnen-
tai countries. London has a much larger
native born population than the city Of New
York, and receives much smaller accretions
Of population through immigration than
this city.
By the last Federal census about a third
Of the whole population OF the city 40 900
was born abroad, and none Of these resi-
dents, Of course, came under the designA-
ton Of New Workers, strictly speaking.

At the hower exchanges one Of the In

flower girls are reserved for comic operas
and three volume novels. These women
most Of them Germans-raise their own
flowers, usually on Long Island, and bring
them TO EAe exchanges, where, for the
usual percentage TO the owners Of the place,
they have the privilege Of displaying thar
wares and dealing with the retailers,
Some Of these women have very beautiful
collections, and even the heavy market
baskets, the Newspaper wrappinRs and tho
red pots cannot hide the abundant glory.
Ono woman had q booth entirely filed with

when they are sold by retailers, are usually
imported directly by them, for the reason
that they are very expensive and there Is
little call for them.
Yet the orchid by reason Of this very
exclusiveneBs remains the flower OF the
elect. There Is, however, about this strange
flower a certain anuiness which prevents
its popularity, even In the face Of It's value,
for on many women it has the same effect
as the reptiles. In fact, It is called In floral
vocabularies the snake flower

No matter how carefully you keep them
there is always a distressing odor about
