A Finland Boys Bath.

When the boys Of Finland want to
| take bath, this is the way they do
| it:
cold in Finland, and the bathroom is
not in the house at all, but in build
ing quite separate.
It is a round building, about the
size Of an ordinary room. There
are no windows, SO light and air can
only come in when the door is open.
Inside, the benches are all built
along the wall. and in the center is
great pile of loose stones. Early on
Saturday morning. wood is brought
in, and great vessel, standing near
the stones, is filed with water
Then some one cuts ever so many
birch switches. and these are placed
Oh the floor of the bath house. Next
the fire is made under the stones. and
it burns all morning In the afternoon,
when the stones are very hot. the fire
is put out, the place is swept clean,
and all is ready.
The boys undress in their. houses.
and run to the bath-hOuse. As it is
generally thirty degrees below zero,
you may be sure they do it in double
quick time.
AS soon as they are in the bath
house they shut the door tight, and
begin to throw water on the hot
stones. This, of course makes the
steam rise. More water is thrown
on, and there is more steam, until
the place is quite full
And now comes the part that
think you boys would not like at all
Each boy takes q birch switch, and
falls to whipping his companions This
is to make the blood circulate, and
though it is a real hard whipping, no
one objects. but all think it great fun.
AT last, looking like lot of boiled
Holsters, they all rush out, have a roll
in the snow, and make for home

Planning Out Gold in City Streets.

"The days of old, the days of gold
the days of 49," were recalled in a
vivid manner in the heart of the
business section of town the other
day. Considerable sand had been
washed down the gutter and street
from the hill above, and some think
ing mortal tried a shovelful in a min
er's pan. He quickly found colors,
and in a short time any number Of
business men and others were hard
at work with all kinds of pans and
utensils, washing the dirt in tiny
stream in the gutter nearby. Some
made as much as 81 in a short time,
while even the veriest novice found
eolors. It is argued that rich ledge

Yvette.

There was weeping and wailing
when DorOthy's mamma decided that
Yvette could not go to the seaShOre
Yyette was Dorothy's best plaything,
dear little French poodle, as black
as Dorothys own eyes. Her curly
hair was cut in funny tufts all over
her body. with crownins knob on the
end OF her thin tail. these queer orna-
ments made her look like the unicorn
one sees on the flags and banners.
So Ivette was taken up to Aunt
Margaret's house by Dorothy herself.
The parting was painful, but Dorothy
whispered cOnsOlingly in her pets
ear, as she left last kiss atop OF the
little black nose:
Never mind. you lovely thing. III
send for you as soon as come home
Yvette, being sensible dog, looked
at the bright side of life. and wagged
her tail peacefully through the sum-
mer. accepting Aunt Margarets atten-
tons with a royal grace, learning a
lot of new tricks.
At length there came letter from
Dorothy: Aunt Margaret read it aloud
to grandma as they sat by coy log
fire-the first of the season. Yvette
was curled up on the rug in front Of
them, close to the fender, for the
weather was growing chilly, and she
lOnged for her winter furs.
Dear Auntie," Dorothy wrote
1T is getting too cold to stay away
any longer. Tell Yyette to go home;
must have her the first thing tomor-
row. I'm just crazy to see my darling
treasure.
Lovingly, DOROTHY
You hear, Yvette?" and Aunt Mar
garet tweaked the long silky ear near
est to her.
iyette got up. turned around three
times. and lay down again; this was a
sign of deep thought.
Tie next morning there was no
Yyette: she could rot be found in the
house or in the neishbcrhood; she had
never Strayed before and Aunt Mar
garet was nearly distracted. In great
distress, she hurried to Dorothy's
house, and the first thing she saw
when the door opened was Yvette
herself. who came patterng joyfully
down the stairs with Dorothy just be-
hind.
''Oh, you dear thing, to send Yvette
so early" she cried. I'VE found her
on the steps as We drove up to the
door"
But never sent her-I thought she i
was lost; l can't understand it, Doro-
thy"
Dorothy looked puzzled at first, then
B sudden idea flashed upon her: "She |
heard you read my letter, auntie, and ,
she trotted home by her dear little I

truth, miss, this Instant

TO SEARCH FOR
LOST TREASURE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Bar
ring unforeseen accidents or delay,
gold and treasure to the amount of
$1,575,000 which was lost when the
ship Golden Gate sank in 1862 off the
coast of Mexico near Mazanilla will
be recovered during the first months
of next year. A number of eastern
capitalists, residing mostly in Phila-
delphia have formed company for
this purpose and their representative,
c. w. Johnston, is now in this city
making preparations for carrying on
the work in the southern waters.
The shipwreck lies 200 feet from
the shore and is completely covered
by sand in fourteen feet of water. A
pier will be built to the place where
the wreck lies and from the end of il
a dredge pump will be operated. The
| materials have been assembled here.
| but the commencement of operations
is delayed by the inability of the
company to secure a vessel suitable
for the work. Mr. Johnson have in
spected number that have been Of
fered him about the bay, but none of
them fill the requirements. Unless
one is secured shortly the materials
will be sent to Mexico by steamer and
transferred to the base of operations
by lighters so that work can be com
menced early in November.
The lost treasure consists of ST.
100000 in bullion and coin in the
strong room, $4,000 in jewelry and
money in the safe and $4,000 in a
second smaller safe, besides money
and valuables the passengers threw
away in attempting to save them
selves. This large amount of trea-
sure was in the hold of the ship.
which sank when it burned to the
waters edge.

HELPLESS jews
Are ATTACKED

ODESSA. Oct. S.-United Union
lists of Odessa continued today their
attacks and outrages on Jews. They
began by surrounding the Hebrew
cemetery, where funeral service
was going on. They stoned and then
fired volley of revolver shots at the
mourning Jews, many of whom were
wounded. The Jews fled in panic.
Members of the Black Hundred divid-
ed themselves into small groups and
ransacked several Jewish shops, mer-
cilessly beating the proprietors. A
police sergeant, who attempted to in
tervene, was brutally attacked,
whereupon he drew his revolver and
killed one of his assailants. There
were fewer police than usual on the
streets today. After further Jew
batting, detachments of Cossacks ar
rived on the scene, but instead oil
pursuing the Black Hundred the.
laughed at the rapidity with which
! they made their escape. Up to the
present time Governor General No
/ whisky has made no attempt to stoI
the outrages, but nevertheless the,

COUNCIL PASSES
IT UP TO PEOPLE
IBy Associated Press.]

LOS ANGELES, Oct. S.-A petit
ton carrying more than 5000 names
was presented to the city council to-
day asking that it pass an ordinance
requiring all theatres to close on Sun
days. The petition was presented by
Rev. William F. Ireland, who made
short speech in support of Sunday
closing. Representatives of the Sew
enth Day Adventists were present in
opposition and addressed the council
against making Sunday observance
compulsory. Representatives of the
Theatrical Managers Association pre-
scented petitions from number OF
local unions objecting to the pro
posed ordinance. After listening to
both sides, the council decided to
submit the question to the voters at
the next municipal election, which
will take place in 1909.
