GLIDDEN TOURISTS

of Sleeping in Tents

JACKBdAN. Ne. July 25.-Fifty small
tents and one large circus tent were
all pitched ready for the Glidden trophy
contestants and tourists when they
reached here from QueUec. Each tent
had three cots in II. and when the tour
lists learned that the thoughtful com
mittee intended to charge fifteen dollars
for the night per tent they started on a
hunt for lodging IN the village cottages.
The country people. who never under
stood why the "Dowie camp" as they
call 1t, was pitched when the town is
capable OF holding a thousand visitors
easily. were quite willing 20 room and
feed all at S1.50 a head. The result was
that the committee. which paid a New
York firm $.2OO to put up the camp,
found itself at dark about 500 In the
lurch.
The Foolish Camp"
The committee was indignant and an
nOunced unOficially that 1t would as
sess each entrant for tent whether 1t
was used or not. The entrants IN turn
announced Officially and IN plain Ian
guage that they would not pay for the
foolish camp" where they could not
get a mOuthful TO eat.
The days run from Quebec was a
hard one. and the added controls and
increased speed caused several cars to

An early start was made today for

in Quebec. several controls were added
to the regular schedules today, with
view to cutting down the number Of

What Boston Has Done. !.
By way Of encouraging and stimulat-
ing the citizens of Minneapolis, DR.. P
M. Hall, commissioner of health, sup
plies an interesting account of the pub
lie baths of Boston, which was the
pioneer city Of the country in this
movement. DR.. Hall writes: ,sr
The work of supplying public bath
ing facilities in Boston began in 1856,
with the provision Of several floating
bath houses and the L street bathing
beach. This movement was aided by
the city council, and the control was
placed in the hands of a committee of
tee. It was this committee that built
the L street beach bath and the several
Hfloating baths.'' Thus Boston may
be said to have taken the lead in the
movement. and the work she has done
has served as a pattern for the other
large cities of the country.
The L street beach bath is the Oldest
municipal bath in the United States.
Of the five floating baths constructed
at that time the general type consisted
of low wooden building, resting on g
floating platform, ard covering a shall
low tank, thru the partially open sides
of which the water flowed freely.
HoW the City Does It.
The public, baths were kept and main
tanned by the city. and under the con-
troll of the Public Bath committee,
until 1879 when they were placed in
charge of the department of health.
This department looked after them fol

There has been 2 decrease of from IL
to 20 per cent in Juvenile arrests in
Boston during the past ten years and
a part of the credit is given to the
training and discipline given at the
public gymnasia. The instruction is
given in classes and no contests are al

Baths in Public Schools. E.
A new feature in the bath movement
in Boston is the provision of bathing
Baths were established in the, Paul
Revere school in 1889, consisting of two
sets. one for each sex at opposite ends
| Of the basement, which are open every
school day. Soap and towels are fur
nished without expense to the pupils.
Similar baths have been provided at the
Copely school.
Thus is Boston meeting the bath
problem in the highest and most intel
igent manner, and it becomes the most
progressive city i'll America. 4 word
might be said regarding the Hpublic
convenience stations. - There are
thirteen under the, controls of the de,
partment of public baths The most
important is the underground one at
Boston common, where separate apart
ments are provided for men and women,
and where the patronage averages 6,JOO
persons daily, running as high as
10000 on holidays. r.,
Much more might be said upon the
question of baths, play grounds and
public convenience stations, but
enough has been shown to indicate how
well an aroused enlightened community
is caring for this great work.

round municipal baths or gymnasia.
In 1897 work was begun on the bath
house on Dover street, which was
opened the following year, and has been
available for use by both men and
women on every day OF the year from
that time to this. H.
In 1898 the Etst Boston gymnasium
was presented to the city and placed in
charge of. the department z Of baths.
The success Of the East Boston gym
nasiun1 led to the granting of an ap-
preparation fer the building of a new
gymnasium on D street. South Boston,
upon land owned by the state. The

Women teachers in Japan.

The Japanese have apparently come
to the conclusion that women make
better teachers than men. Fifteen
years ago, the women preparing for
the profession of teaching were only
20 per cent. of the total number. To-
day they constitute IS; the demand for
women as instructors is much greater
than that for men. The number OF
girls who receive a regular education
is eight times what it was a decade
ago. There is also an ever-increasing
invasion of business Offices; in some
of the largest houses in Toxic and
other cities, most of the clerks are
now women. 1t would be mistake,
however, to interpret this movement
as a sign that the women of Japan
have suddenly become, mannish. They
have from time immemorial done the
hardest kind of drudgery, such as
weaving, coal-heaying, and tilling the
SOIL which is infinitely more the work
Of man than teaching and bOOkkeep'
Ing. Their new employment may
mean a relief from their more arduous
old ones.

Money Value of Politeness.

The attitude of too many public
servitors seems to be one of hostility
toward the public. Manifest indisposi'
tion to answer perfectly proper ques'
tions Is shown. Such defects of char
acter are almost certain to bar the
way to advancement in any calling,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Superior
ability may bring a high degree OF
success without any grace or suavity
of manner, but the majority of EN-
ployes do not possess exceptional tai
ents and must rise by energy, integrity
and a pleasing personality. This last
named quality more than any othe1
explains the rise of certain persons tc
high estate. Very ordinary men have
smiled their way to honors and for
tune. A cheerful, friendly person may
pass for something much better than
te really is, so great is the value
which the world sets upon good ma
cure.

As to the general policy of going
abroad and buying or borrowing ideas
whenever we can find good ones, it
should be encouraged. Great as this
nation is, it is not in possession of all
Of the worlds available stock of Wis
lble supply of wisdom, says the Wash
lngton Post. If Japan had been as
narrowminded and bigoted as China,
If she had been so much enamored OF
herself and SO contemptuous of for
eign devils" as were the celestials a
few years ago and as most of them
are to-day, she would have turned her
face to the past, her back to the fu'
ture and continued in that position.
But having a splendid equipment OF
practical sense she sent her most in
telligent young men into all progress
sive countries to gather the results
Of experience. From those she Sc
ected the best and it is only justice
% say that in many instances she i'm
proved on the best. And that is why
Japan has achieved more progress
in so years than any other country
ever made in 500 years.

FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES.
Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure
by Age Catch Artists Eye.

To the eye of the artist the gar
ments of the modern man are only
tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average artist a new suit of
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new clothes are
more ugly than DID," said a knight of
the palette who discussed the queS-
ton; ito my mind no one can be prop
erly easy or graceful in them.
Il never feel that l properly know
man until l have met him wearing an
old suit. Certainly no man can pOssi-
bly, be his natural self in evening
dress.
81 have noticed again and again
how different the same people are
when wearing different clothes. I
went, for instance, to large family
gathering some time ago, and for
some reason everybody had donned
full evening dress. What a differ
ence it made! We were all on terms
of intimate friend ship, but somehow
the clothes brought in an element Of
coldness and formality. We all felt
f-even the women, although, Of
course, the fair sex are not easily per.
suaded of the merits of well-worn gar.
ments. But no man who has discov.
cred the ease and comfort Of them
will readily give them up. AS for the
artistic side of modern clothes, it only
comes when they have mellowed by
use!"
