An ideal combination is to soap the
body all over, using tepid water before
plunging into n cold bath. But there
are MANY good folks who cannot face
Il cold bath daily and who after taking
one are apt to he cold and Shiverng
all the day through. For these the best
plan is, after warm bath. to sponge
the throat and chest with cold water,
which is most stimulating and espe-
cially so where the bather suffers from

THE GOD OF WAR.
clustering Mars and His Name Month,
the Thracinn of the Twelve.

Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks. nor is his name month
a great fayorte among the Gothic
moderns. The god of war was a bar
barian Intruder in the Olympan circle
There was something Thracian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in his
manner He was more of a blusterer
than a fighter, and Homer narrateS
with evident relish how Pallas Atbene
tumbled him over in combat. his vast
bulk covering several acres OF wild
aspect, untutored ways and Indifferent
wits, he had little to recommend him
but his immoral origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes
its ugly looks and threats "A half
wild creature cast from natures lap
another calls it. The proverb mad as
March hare says the same thing
with less reticence. English people
call the month March Manyweath-
ers' and thereby intimate their doubt
of its capacity for sustained purpose.
| 1t is the Thracian of the twelve, as
| September is the Tyrian. There is
something clustering and barren in its
! aspect, as there is in what people cal
! "a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of it to the other are no
the winds of God" A peck of Mare
dust may be worth kings ransom, a

A RUSSIAN PROTEST
 AGAINST WORLD SHAME
An Appeal to Prevent the Appointed
 Massacre of the Jews.

St. Petersburg, March 30.-The League of Russian Writers has issued an appeal to the Russian people to and self-respect to prevent the Jewish massacres which, they claim, are be- yond doubt being prepared in south western Russia for Eastertide. The appeal says that it is not fancy but a fact that the police and gendarmes- are arranging to let loose the Black Hundreds upon members of the poor, helpless race.
 It recalls that the Kishineff. Gomel and Odessa anti-Jewish outrages were committed at the instigation of Minis lice Neidhardt and Count Podgori- chanie. chief of the gendarmes of Go- mel. Just as in the past times St. Bartholomew's days were arranged by agents of the government. the appeal declares. the recent proclamations emanating from the printing offices of the police master at St. Petersburg, and that of the military staff at Odes sa leave no doubt that the authorities are privy to the present propaganda.
 The League of Writers claims to hold proof that massacres have been plan ned to take place at Alexandrovsk. Minsk. Brest-Litovsk, Rostov- -on-Don Krementchug. The appeal asks how long the Russian people will remain idle spectators of an infamy which brings the shame of the world on the nation.

AWFUL SUFFERING
 IN SIBERIAN TRIBES
Whole Tribes Have Been Wiped Out
 by StaEvation.

St. Petersburg, March 3O.-Horrible of cannibalism and starvation among the tribes inhabiting the Arctic plain of the Chukchis peninsula, at the eXtrem- ity of Asia. Most of the reindeers died of starvation during the winter of 1904 05, leaving the inhabitants without means of communication or food. Dur ing last winter whole tribes have died, and members of the Omolons and Oloi- va tribes when facing starvation as sembled in council and decided that nothing remained but death They agreed that each head of family should kill his wife and children and then commit suicide. The tribesmen gathered on a plateau covered with snow and ice, and in the darkness of the Arctic winter the Spartan decision was executed, not a single member of two tribes surviving.
 More revolting still is the story of what occurred in a family of the Yuk- ahir tribe. A mother and nine of her children having died of hunger, the father a surviving daughter and nephew lived on the remains and when they were consumed, the father mur- dered the nephew. A Russian named Dolganoff who went to the region to buy furs reported the situation at Yuk- utsk Siberia. He entered snow hut of a Yukahir family while the latter were eating the head of a murdered relative.

The Opportunity for Proper Investi-

Washington.

Governor Gooding re- ferred to the confession of Orchard and Adams.
 President Gompers tonight tele- graphed Governor Gooding as follows: Surely, if Orchard and Adams cannot give the details of their confessions, what benefit can result from Mir Mitchelfs and my hearing their general statement In any event such state ments would only be ex-parte without cross examination and without being confronted with the accused men. The justification for the general suspicion lies in their unlawful extradition and brutal Kidnapping from their homes and states
