Discovery Of Peat Baths.

The discovery of the value of peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago. ON the coast of France
there lived ut one time a poor family.
The father of the family ekcd out a
scanty living by killing aged cattle
ana divcsting them of their skins. The
CHASTITY remains he sold to tanners ana
reiiners.
or the three children which belong.
ed to this couple one was poor crea-
ture, delicate and wretchcd and appar.
entity half-wtted. The mother was 50
ashamed of this boy that she could
not bear to have the child in her sight
Consequently he spent most of his
time half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat boys which were
behind the cottage. Little by little il
was noticed that the child wis i'm,
proving In health, that his skin was
becoming as fair ana soft as peach
his eyes bright and his spirits and ac
lions those of strong, healthy boy
instead OF a half-witted little animal
The old country physician on on,
Of his rounds noticed the improved
condition of the boy and mentioned
the fact and the cause ut medica
conference In Paris. The result wa,
the use of the peat bath, which leaves
far behind any other kind Of hydro
therapic cure known to this day ant
its success is becoming greater eaci
season.

LIFE ON A WARSHiP.
why the Men Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sports.

why the Men Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sports.
To see a thirteen inch gun loaded
and fired is a sight not to be forgotten.
The projectile is thirteen inches in
diameter, about three feet in length
and weighs 1,1OO pounds. The powder
charge for target practice is 2oO
pounds. The cost for each shot is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds, there is
binding fash, a roar like thunder
and a jarring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech Of the shell, for
all the world like a fast express round
ing sharp curve. The projectile is
visible almost from the time it leaves
the gun. You see it rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up a column of liquid many
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the fiat stone skipper of our boy
hood, and again column of water
shoots up two miles or more farther
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell in it's flight can be watched
without the aid of glasses for eight
miles or more in clear weather.
While the life of a sailor, from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round of work, some time is
found for athletic sports, such as
boat racing. football and baseball. The
object of this is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides, 1t
makes the men easier to manage. The
ship with strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
| invariably has happy and easily
| managed crew-a crew that will swear
that it's officers are the finest men II
the world, and likewise the officer:
| swear by such a crew. Some ships
| have training tables for their athletic
teams. the expense usually being de
frayed by the officers. The team O
boat crew, as the case may be, L
| petted by the officers and idolized b.
the crew, and for some time before
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties in order that they ma.
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser has it
race boat, purchased by contribution
from officers and men. The prices pai
for these boats is, as rule, contingen
upon their winning certain specine
races. The builders are willing to tax
chance, knowing that the crew will q
its best to win. For winning boat III
price is often as much as $1,000, Will
for boat that proves less speedy tn
builder will accept $500 or less. On tn
result Of feet boat race as much q
$4,000 has been known to chang
hands, and large sums are ais
wagered on baseball and footba
games. This is, of course, contrary
the letter of the regulations; but II

PAupER APPEALS TO HIGHEST COURT
Expenses of Mrs Rogers, Accused Of Muir
der, To Be Paid by Government.
[From The Tribune Bureau.1


Washington Oct. 26.-Even a pauper may
carry his case to the Supreme Court of the
United States and the highest judicial tribunal
in the land in such will itself defray all
the expenses of the litigation. That there is a
statute which provides for such substantial jus
tice to those without financial resources was
brought to light to-day by the attorneys of
Mary Rogers, charged with murder, who, &C
cording to her counsel is penniess and would
otherwise be unable to meet the expenses of an
appeal to the Supreme Court This appeal was
favoraby received by the court. and Chief JUS
tice Fuller entered order providing that the
expenses be betrayed out of the appropriation
for the maintenance of the court.
Mrs. Rogerss attorneys Informed the court
that their client had been a pauper from the
day when she was first imprisoned for murder
They said further that as she had been unable
to retain counsel. such had been provided for
her by the lower court. and that their client was
now entirely unable to meet the expenses en-
tailed by the printing of the records. clerks
fees etc. Mrs. Rogerss case two weeks ago
was assigned 20 a place on the docket for a
hearing on November 6. but the attorneys would
be unable to prosecute the without re-
course to the provision made for paupers whose
cases were appealed to the Supreme Court. On
the conclusion of this representation Chief JUS
ttce Fuller issued the order of which mention
has been made. The expense of printing Will
be paid by the court. while the usual clerks
will be waived.
