It is d round building. about the

Inside, the benches are all built
along The wall, and il, the center is a
great pile Of loose stones. Early on
Saturday morning. wood Is brought

Then some one cuts ever so many
birch switches. and these are placed
On the floor Of the bath-house. Next
he fire Is made under the stones, and
Il 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 undrcss in their houses,

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 birch switch, and
falls 10 whipping his companions. This
Is 10 make the blood circulate. and

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word cti'

etiquette meant simply a Label. Il
received its present signification from
the face that Scotch gardener who

conrtiers walking over his newly mace
paths ond at length had labels placed

One Of the sights which everywhere
greets the travellers eye in this coun-
try is thousands Of saw mills, greed!-
ly chewing up our forest wealth, Ia
ments the Louisville Courier.Journal.
The number o, these is so great that
one can readily believe we are con-
suming 45000,000oOO feet Of lumber
each year. This does not take into
account the damage that is done TO
timber and underground by forest
fires. When this loss is added TO that
being cut for domestic use, for eX-
port. for telegraph and telephone
poles, for cross ties and fuel, and Tor
timbers to be used in mining opera

ply of timber can hardly last more
