CathedrRI's Title Chain.

Patrick's cathedral in New York that
you cannot see in any other building
In the city, if indeed in the country. 1t

contains the complete chain Of title OF
the property on which the edifice
stands from the time it was first sold
until the church authorities bought 1t.
The only reason for its being there so
lar as any one knows is to put a stop
10 the old story that the property was
originally purchased by the church for
dollar. To settle this point the chain
OF title shows how much was paid for

A New York real estate agent has
been telling Of some of his business ex-
periences with women. Mrs. A., he
says, wanted to find a house that would
fit her carpets and wasted several
weeks Oh the job. Mrs. b. had six
children Of her own, but wanted a
guarantee that no other children would
be allowed in the building. Mrs. G..
signed Il lease with a clause that no
dogs should he brought in and then
deliberately brought several into her
family and told the agent such restric-
tons in lease We're of no account.
"Do you wonder" he asks, that men
do not like to deal with women" OF
course, however. Massachusetts wo
men would never 90 anything like
that.-BOSton Globe.

KNOW THY COUNTRY,
A Precept That Every Citizen Should
Take to Heart.

Juvenal said, This preccpt descends
from heaven-knoW myself" To this
we add-knoW thy country. Know Its
area, its population, its products, ma
tive and exclusive, agricultural and
mineral. Know its present output and
Its possibilities. Know its states, its
territories and large cities and what
they are seycrally noted for. Know
Its geography and Typography, its con-
stitution, principles and history, its
literature its art and its sciences, its
philosophy, discoveries and Inventions
Know its relation to other nations
both political and financial. Know its
possessions 49, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Ihiippines-their history
severally, the customs and languages
of their people and the sources of their
wealth. Many men know these things
now and love their country and are serv-
iceable to their fellow citizens in pro
portion to their knowledge. 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of SO called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
life's purpose is to make the utmost Of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way ana another IS developing
his country's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
to other lives. there are a relish and
delight IN the search for knowledge
that compensate thousandfold.

An Ideal Bath.

An ideal combination is to soap the
body all over using tepid water before
plungiug into Il cold bath. But there
are many good folks who cannot face
q colo bath daily and who after taking
one are apt to be cold and shiverlng
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-
cally so where the bather suffers from
chronic colds. TO insist on Il cold bath
is just as unwise as to have bath
that Is too warm and to remain in 1t
too long. That is the more general
mistake.

ANCIENT BELLS.

Well known to thc Egyptians Before
the Jewish ExOdus.
Bells were we'll known to the EGyp
tians before the time of the Jewish eX-
odus. In the description of AarOn's
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there were bells OF gold alternating
with pomegranntes of blue, of purple
and Of scarlet: "a golden bell and a
pomegranate, n golden bell and pome
granate upon the hem OF the robe
round about And it shall be upon
Aaron to minister, and his sound shall
be heard when ha goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when ne
cometh out that lie die not"
Hand bells were in common use all
over the ancient world. The earliest
use of bells in churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air. ana the earliest curfew
was rung at nlgbtfall to rid the neigh
borhood OF the village or town and
church of demons. Most old churches
Of Europe have small door on the
north side and at certain points IN the
service this door was opened and q
bell was rung to give notice to the dev.

The monument OF Porsena. the Etru'

which tinllled in the breeze. The army
Of Clothaire raised the siege OF Sens
on account Of panic occasioned among
the men by sudden chime from the

Mars was not favoritc among the
classic Greeks, nor is his name month
a great fayorite among the Gothlc
moderns. The god of war was bar
barian intruder in the Olympian circle.
There was something Thracian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in bis

than a fighter, and Homer narrates
with evident relish how Pallas Athene
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

its "ugly looks and threats "A hall

with less reticence. En- people

 Toward him, directly, when they met she would sometimes be glacial and forbidding, sometimes uninterestedly frank, as If they were but the best of commonplace friends. Yet sometimes she made him feel that she, too, threw herself heartily 10 rest in the thought of their loving, and cheated herself, as he did, with dreams of comradeship. She left him at these times with the feeling that they were deaf, dumb and blind to each other; that if some means of communication could be devised, something surer than the invisible play of secret longings, all might yet be we'll. They talked as the people about them talked, words that meant nothing to either, and if there were mute qYestionings, naked appeals, un- uttered declarations, they were only such as language serves to divert at- tention from. Speech, doubtless, has its uses as well as its abuses. Politics, for example, would be less entertain ing without it. But in matters of the heart, certain it is that there would be fewer misunderstanding if 1t were forbidden between the couple under the penalty of immediate separation. In this affair real meanings are rarely conveyed except by silences. Words are not more than tasteless drapery to obscure their lines. The silence of lovers is the plainest of all speech, warning, disconcerting indeed, by it's very bluntness, any but the truly mated. An hours silence with these two people by themselves might have worked wonders.

BATHS YOU TAKE AT HOME

s BATHS YOU TAKE AT @HoME
When you take your cosy little bath in your
own porcelain tub you can run the gamut Of
baths, and the oftener and closer you get to
your tub the better. Water is; the greatest cos.
metic in the world, and free to all who, want it.
Soap is very good in it's way, but when used
every day, it is inclined to make some skins dryt
In that case alternate with little bags of oat-
NEAL in which a little orris powder has been
sprinkled. Or bags Of bran are also cleansing
and have a tendency to whiten and soften the
skin.
There. is nothing more invgorating and de-
lightfuI than a bath in which some aromatic
water has been poured, or several bath tablets
may be substituted. Spraying the body after
the rinsing in cold water is refreshing, the odor
clinging to the person several hours after the
bath has been taken.
y A couple small bags in which pine needles have
been placed are toning to the system and indulg-
ed in by those afflicted with neuralgia and rheu-
matsm. This bath must be hot. Hot soda
baths are also recommended for the rheumatic.
Cold plunges are excellent for those who can
stand the shock, but should not be employed
unless your physician recommends them. These
baths are best taken on arising in the morning.
For ordinary bathing warm water, but not BY
any means hot, is good, followed by a rinsing
bath where the chill is just taken, off the water.
