The Uses of Worry.

necessary to the complete health of the spirit worry Is as surely related to content on one side as it is to mis- cry on the other. It is as wholesome an exercise for the spirit. and as re- freshing. as the physical exercise which the man finds so necessary to his wel-being. The spirit must have it's peculiar gymnastics; the soul can not afford to become stagnant; it's waters, if one may say so, must be stirred occasionally if they would be kept fresh and sweet-Joel Chandler Harris In Uncle Remus' Magazine.

People Who Have Lived to Sec Many
 of Their Descendants.

It is given to few men, as to M, T. Wullschleger of the canton of Vaud, to celebrate the birth of great great granddaughter, but even more remark able experiences than this are on rec ord. according to the Westminster Ga zette. Dr, Plot in his Natural His tory of Staffordshire" quotes the case of old Mary Cooper of Kings Bromley, who lived to see the sixth generation of her descendants, and was in the position to say, Rise up, daughter, and go to thy daughter. for thy daugh- ter's granddaughter hath daughter" while Horace Walpole lived to sae seven descents in one family. the pro- geny of Mrs. Godfrey, mistress of James II.

The other kids beat the flames out as best they could and saved at le.st the front part of Paddy's brooches. Tommy Glynn and Billy Rooney were more or less badly burned about the hands, and Paddy was more severely burned elsewhere.

WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
 Situation.

c. B. Shockley, who lives across the river, was recently blowing in some new ground near the edge of the river hills, says an Oklahoma correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. He was accompanied by half-grown shepherd dog. The dog in hunting went over a small hill and soon came kiting back with coyote close to his heels. See ing the man the coyote ran back and the dog plucked courage to follow. Out of sight of his master he weak ened and came back over the hill with the coyote after him. This was re- peated several times, to the amuse- ment of Mir Shockley, who offered neither counsel nor assistance, mean ing to see how the dog would figure 1t out. He had not long to wait. The dog sat down and seemed to think over the situation, and then started for the house on keen run. He was back in very short time, accompanied by a big dog whose reputation as a coyote fighter was established. The young dog led the old one over the hill and soon the coyote had disappeared.

"5LEST BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to
 Be Written.


 Not one in a thousand of those who sing that good old hymn "B,cst be the tie that binds" knows the history of its homely origin. According to the Church Eclectic, 1t was written by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the latter part of the eighteenth century was the pastor of poor little church In Lockshire, England His family and responsibilities were large, his salary was less than four dollars a week. In 1772 he felt himself obliged to accept a call to a London church. His farewell sefmon had been preach ed. six wagons loaded with furniture and books stood by the door. His congregation, men, women and chill ren were in an agony of tears. MT. Fawcett and his wife sat down on & packing case and cried with the oth- CTS. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said: "Oh, John, John, I cannot bear this! know not where to lgo!" ''Nor eith- CT" said he; nor will we go. Unload the wagons and put everything back in it's old place. His letter of accep- tance to the London church was re- called and ne wrote this hymn to com memorate the episode

SCHOOL BATHS.
New System Of Scrubbings in Groups
Of Sixteen in Germany.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
School baths are settled feature of popu-
lar school organization in Germany, and Of
late they have developed into a large-sized
school problem. No system in use gave en-
tire satisfaction and all the sanitary ex-
perts have been busy devising better ones
The douche has been found Intellectual and
V68or baths are injurious to many children;
>fub baths have been frowned upon as tend
ing to spread all sorts of germ diseases:
every scheme, of course, had to be econom-
ical to have any practical utility.
The latest plan and the one which comes
nearest to solving the problem in the judg-
ment of the school authorities is the inven-
ton of Karl HANSON Berlin sanitary en-
gineer. He proposes to construct batteries
of baths, consisting of sixteen circular tubs
sunk in the floor of the bath room, with
wide alleys between them in both direc-
TONS
The tubs are bowl shaped without any
sort of seam or angle and are constructed
of cast iron covered with white enamel.
Each measures about 30 inches in diameter
by IA in depth. The drain pipe is In the
very lowest part of the hollow, SO arranged
as to draw off every particle of water.
Around the edge of each tub is copper
tube pierced for spray at intervals of two
inches throughout its length. The Jets are
turned backward against the walls OF the
tub so that they can be used either to fill It
or to wash 1t out thoroughly.
All these tubes are controlled by single
valve and the drainage of the tubs is also
led into single escape pipe. so that the
process of emptying. washing and refilling
can be performed with a minimum of labor.
Over each tub there is a shower.
The bathing drill consists in thorough
washing with antiseptic soap In water at q
temperature OF 80 to % degrees. After ten
minutes the tubs simultaneously emp
tied and the showers are turned on, begin
ming at the temperature of the bath and
cooling to about 60 degrees.
When the children leave the tubs these
are thoroughly sprayed out and refilled. the
whole process taking about five minutes.
Thus in an hour three sets of children, or
AZ altogether, can be bathed efficiently and
under strictly sanitary conditions, with
plenty of time to spare. The consumption
of water is about 1.2JO gallons an hour and
Of coal about 80 pounds.

At an expense far more lavish than any

he has never bestowed on any other am

Mr.. Tower is dean of the American am

is the property of a Hebrew banker. More
than fifty rooms compose the dwelling, and
the tash of getting them in order required
something like a year.
The ambassador now has the satisfaction
of knowing that for the first time tho
American embassy in Berlin is properly
maintained. Andrew d. White was only
moderately endowed with this worlds
goods and during his long stay at the
German court he lived at a family hotel.
The emperor or the big lights of the
court never visit hotels, and the United
States was under an eclipse till 1t came into
possession of the present magnificent home.
A Dignifed Embassy.
The American embassy is a marble palace
in the most aristocratic section of tho
German capital. Almost opposite is tho
great Brandenburg gate, and in the imme-
date vicinity are the stately houses Of the
reichstag and the grand avenue of Inter
den Linden
Throughout the massive building the in
terror is of rare white marble, carved by
the best master, after the decorations OF
the famous palace of the Signoria.
Few private houses, even in London or
Paris, are provided with a stairway such AZ
winds from,the main entrance to the draw
ing rooms on the second floor
The floors of black and white marble are
gultless Of rugs. Five drawing rooms lead
into each other, and all have their indi-
vidual furnishings. Louis Cirque decora-
tons are used in the main drawing room:
empire and directoire styles prevail in the
smaller chambers.
The dining room is grand with Flemish
tapestries. priceless paintings and maple
and rosewood, centuries old.
But everywhere the American visitor
catches glimpse of home scenes There
are portraits of Washington, Presidents
from Lincoln to Roosevelt and william
Penn.
Mrs Tower has been one of the most
successful hostesses which the republic Of
the west has ever sent to the fatherland.
In some quarters there has been a dis
position to criticise this lavish expenditure
on part Of Mr. Tower but those who arc
familiar with the problem say that no
country can hope to get proper considera-
ton abroad unless 1t maintains its embas-
sizes on a properly generous scale.
