GOOD BATHING RULES.
That Much Misunderstoed Hrsesr the
Cold Bath.

In a suggestive article On bathing.
q doctor In the New York Evening
Telegram gives some hints which
should never be forgotten, and
which are Of interest to those who
have long known them as well as to
those who have not. Here are
Eew excerpts:
Should one feel chilled after cold

baths are bad.

says the physician.
AS to the method OF taking baths.
I believe that needle. shower or
sponge bath Is best, for few are
strong enough TO stand plunge, and
as to sitting or lying in a tub OF cold
water, / would say unhesitatingly
that 1t is unwIse. for 1t takes too
much animal heat and results in a
loss OF energy that is unnecessary.
Frequently those who are not strong
enough to take q cold water bath

1t Immensely beneficial when a bag
of salt ID placed in the tub; or by
taking the chill of with the addition
Of warm water, the bath will still be
practically cold, for the temperature
will De much cooler than the body.
Cold baths should, as a rule. be
taken only In the morning directly
after rising. unless person Is very
warm and wants a cold tub on hot
day, or, in a few cases OF extreme IA
tigue. When very warm | would sug-
gest that the Individual walt until
the Precipitation was entirely drie1
on the body before getting into the
water. For the shock to the nerves
and the rapidity with which the blood
is drawn to the surface OF the skin
by the cold Is not good. The same
rule applies to salt water bathing
And many persons who jump into
the surf when very warm and COW
cred with perspiration often wonder
why they feel nauseated after they
have been in few minutes.
One of the most refreshing baths
have ever taken is a combination OF
a cup full OF cider vinegar and cold
water. II it is not too cold | would
suggest lying in it from five to ten
minutes, when particularly fatigued
for the reaction is remarkable.
There is this to be guarded
against in cold water bathing, that
1t is not to be done unless the person
is physically fit, never when the
thought OF the cold on the body
brings a shiver, or il one feels weak
At such times a bath in tepid water
will be far better, and will have nc
bad results, as the cold one might.

SOLVING A HARD PROBLEM.

Poor old John Smith, a Georgia far
mer, died, as all men do sooner or
later and left as personal property
seventeen horses and three sons. His
will, when read by the lawyer, provid-
ed that John, Jr., his eldest son,
should have one-half of the seventeen
horses TO hold and keep forever; that
Bill, the second son, should possess
one-third of them, and Jim, the boy,
should have one-ninth of the seven
teen horses. The day after the funer-
al of the old man the seventeen hors-
IS were in the lot and the three sons
were quarreling over the division un-
der the terms Of their papa's will
One-half of seventeen horses would be
eight and a half horses, and as they
were valuable animals il would be a
pity to cut the roam in halves.
Deacon Jones. riding down the pike
on his gray mare, heard the dispute
and stopped. After some good chris
tian thought he turned his old gray
mare into the lot with the seventeen
horses. He then led out nine horses
and gave them to John as half of the
lot, half horse more than the will
gave to the favorite son The deacon
then led forth six horses and gave
them to Bill, at which Bill was joyful,
as he had one-third of7eighteen horses.
instead of seventeen animals.
Jim, the baby son, was not neglect
ed. The deacon led forth two horses,
one-ninth of eighteen, and handed the
brides to Jim. Then good old Dea-
con Jones mounted his old gray mare
and rode on to his home. Each of the
three sons had received a fraction
more of horses than the fathers will
bequeathed him, and yet only seven
teen horses were divided Let the
Wise Bunch" take eighteen or an
equal number of beans and they can

FOR PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The idea of introducing manual
training, while not altogether new, is
at its beginning in this section Of the
country.
Only a few years ago the shermsn
schools took up the subject. and today
it is one of the most important
branches of the school system in this
city
In this business era people must
know how to do with their hands as
well as their heads, and the best time
to learn to do things is while they
are young
Speaking along this 1kpe. Mrs. Eu-
gene Hamilton, an educator of much
repute, writing in the Chickasha Star.
says:
knowledge, therefore, is of most
value which informs and develops the
whole man, intellectually, morally and
physically. Has not our educational
system in recent years devoted itself
to the mental and ornamental to the
neglect of the physical? II education.
as Carlysle says. is the history of the
recorded experience of mankind, how
can books alone bring that experience
home to the student? A mere smat-
tering of what is contained in text
books is no preparation for the issues
of life. Hence progressive educators
want to ingraft upon the public school
system what is called the industrial
idea. In this they have the approval
of growing public opinion"
Continuing, Mrs. Hamilton quotes a
leading manual training teacher. DR..
Woodward of St Louis:
DR. Woodward of the st. Louis
Manual Training school says: We
want an education that shall develop
the whole man; all his intellectual.
moral and physical powers should be
drawn out and trained and fitted for
doing good service i'm the battle of
life. We want wise heads, but also
skilled hands. There is a growing de-
mand not only for men of knowledge.
but for men Of skill in every depart
ment Of human activity. The ten
dency, then. in modern education.
should be towards the practical. We
must have less book work and more
Of the shop and the garden; more Of
time should be given to work
relating to the anticipated occupation
Df life, and less to nOn-essentials. In
The city schools. manual training.
botany. economies, bookkeeping. stem

led. In the country schools knowl. |
edge Of gardening. agriculture and |
animal husbandry should be added to
