CAN'T STAND KEROSENE

II never knew until this winter" said
the superintendent of dog and cat hos
pital "how thoroughly most animals de-
test the smell OF kerosene. Several
times the steam heating apparatus in
this place went on strike and we tried
TO raise the temperature by means Of
an oil stove. The smell of the oil pro-
duced a regular mutiny among the ami
mails. Cats are particularly sensitive
to the odor OF kerosense. Next door to
my house is a stationery store which
has been heated all winter long with
an oil stove. In the beginning OF the
season the proprietor owned fine cat
that seemed well satisfied with his
comfortable quarters. No sooner, how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
q home for the winter In steam
heated fiat farther down the street He
comes back once In while on visit,
but the smell Of the oil prevents his
becoming a regular inhabitant Of that
re."--New York sun

A POINT OF ETIQUETTE

Seven and twenty years ago, when
the present German emperor was a
young man, he made quite a long stay
at the Ilfracombe hotel. He was any
thing but popular. for. although he was
then quite youth, he maintained an
attitude Of extreme hauteur toward
every one with whom he came in con-
tact.
Only one person ever succeeded in
penetrating his frigid reserve, and that
was the attendant at the Tunnel swim
ming BATH where the prince went for
his morning swim. The famous bath at
the Ilfracpmbe hotel was not built at
that time.
This attendant was a typical Devon-
ian--shrewd, CHEEKY, independent; and
every day, when the prince came to the
bath, he, oblivious OF royal etiquette,
bade him hearty "Good marnin'." >" re-
ceiving nothing but a chilling stare by
way OF reply.
Nothing daunted. on the third morn
ing the man supplemented his greeting
with the remark 'It be the custom In
this country for folks 70 answer when
q body says Good marnin' to un.'
The prince stared for moment at
the audacious native, laughed good
humoredly and promptly saluted him,
and from that time the morning greet
ing never passed unacknowledged.v~

THE COLD, ,,coRRuPTINe BATH

In a paper read at a meeting of an
association for the study of tubercu-
losis DR.. Norman Bridge of Los An
geles asserts that one of the curious
facts connected with the practice or
the cold bath in the morning is that
so many of its votaries positively de-
clare that they enjoy it. He contends
that they do not and cannot enjoy II.
DR.. Bridge is doubtless right so far as
he goes, but he does not go far enough.
He misses the main point, perhaps the
only point worth emphasizing.
There is abundant reason to believe
that the most curious fact connected
with the cold bath in the morning is
that so many people who insist that
they enjoy it do not take it. There is
vicarious atonement, and there is also
vicarious bathing; and 1T is a very
easy matter to enjoy 'bath that is
not taken, the bath of somebody else.
Almost anybody gifted with a little
Imagination can sing the praises Of a
cold bath in the morning. There are
tie pleasurable, even delightful, shud-
ders of the first dip and splash; the
brisk rub with a coarse crash towel;
the warm, health-giving glow; the new
man feeling, exhilarating, uplifting, as
one gets into his attire for the day s
work, and, above all, the sense of
cleanliness impaired by the cold bath
every morning.
And it is equally easy to take a cold
bath every morning. 1t only remains
to turn on the hot water faucet and
enter the tub. Or both faucets may be
turned on and, without entering the
tub, one may stir the water violently
with his hands, draw long breaths and
shiver, not perceptibly, but audibly. IT
will all sound remarkably life-like, this
performance, wonderfully like taking a
cold bath. Even an alert and suspi-
cious sentinel, stationed at the door
his ear delicately attuned to what is
going on within, may be readily de-
ceived by the cold bath in the morn
ing.
Contemplate, some broiling August
forenoon, the man who tells you that
he fairly revels in the cold bath on
winter mornings, as he gingerly steers
his bare feet through the ripples that
are lazily tapping the beach at shore
resort and believe in him and trust
him If you can Watch him advance
as If he were going to meet his doom
hesitate, glance shoreward longingly
retreat, immersing himself slowly, re-
luctantly, inch by inch. Suddenly he
remembers that he must wet his head
II he would avoid a chill, and he
pauses to shampoo his hair In the sac
sea waves-this hero OF a thousand
frigid baths on q thousand frozer
morningsl
AS a matter of fact what man may
do alone with his sponge in his batf
room no other man may know, and
what he pretends he does may be al
false as dicers' oaths.

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

! 1t is expected that today will witness
the opening of a worlds exposition
commemorating practically the birth
of this mighty Yankee nation. The ex-
position will be at Jamestown, Va,
where the first settlement was made
by English speaking people three hun
dred years before.
Because of this natal character of the
jamestown exposition the federal gov
ernment has taken a larger and more
direct interest in it than it does usually
in su,h events. The opening feature,
for instance, will be the grandest naval
display ever seen in American wtaers.
Half a hundred of Uncle Sans great
battleships and cruisers, with scores of
smaller war craft, will be on dress pa
er with many representative war ves-
sells of other nations.
While the jamestown settlement ante
dates that of the Plymouth Rock pill
grins by thirteen years, its date is
seventy-one years later than that of a
Spanish settlement at the jamestown
site, which was soon abandoned. The
Spaniards failed to know a good thing
when they saw it, satisfying themselves
with settlements much farther south.
! There is but little else than memory
at the present time to mark the James
town of three centuries ago. Only a
few ruins tell of the birthplace OF Yam
keeland. but history and story endear
its by the career of Capt. John Smith
and the love romance of Pocahontas
daughter of Chief Powhatan. In the
early days jamestown was situated on
promontory extending into the James
river, but the tidal flow subsequently
cut off the, site from the mainland
making 1t an island.
Jamestown was the original capital
of Yankeeland, having house of bur-
gesses, which was the first Legislative
body in America. During what was
known as the Bacon rebellion in 1876
the town was burned and 1t never has
been reconstructed. The proximity OF
the jamestown site to Hampton Roads
Norfolk and Newport News makes II
an admirable point for the great ter
centennial exposition.

THH HERALps FLoWnR SCHEME

Formal consent has been obtained by
the floral decoration committee for the
use Of all the street electroHers for the
Fiesta period, and now the only OBJ
stacle to the conversion of Los Angeles
into a city of beauty is lack Of a small
sum-something like S1OOO-to pay for
the embellishment of these posts. 1t
would seem that this sum would be
forthcoming even without asking.
In every other respect The Herald's
floral decorative scheme is growing
faster than the proverbial green bay
tree. The list of merchants who have
adopted flowers instead of bunting for
their store fronts grows hourly. They
being shrewd business men, are quick
to realize the advantages to be secured
by appealing to the easterner in way
that he cannot be reached at home
They know that no other city can put
through a plan like this, and they ap-
preciate that its very novelty and ex-
clusiveness will make for its success
beyond measure.
Chairman Blanchard of the floral dec
orative committee has taken the right
step when he suggests that committees
of women confer with storekeepers and
help them select flowers and designs
for their use. Women are keen in their
knowledge Of floral effects and quick
to catch a hint of the best method of
utilizing a color scheme. This commit
tee will be large and any merchant
should feel at liberty to call upon its
members for aid and advice.
OF course, the plan itself, is now so
much a certainty that it only is a ques-
ton of how far it will be carried. The
small shopkeeper has come to a reali-
cation that with flowers he can do more
at vastly less cost and make far
handsomer display than with tawdry
bunting, which is neither novel nor
beautiful. Seeing that he can save
money and add beauty at the same time
1t appeals to him, and the use Of flowers
is thus assured generally.
Every aesthetic interest in Los An
geles is unified for the plan and is
heartily supporting it. The generally
noted backing of the scheme has shown
how acceptable the original idea was
and what a breach it filled. The Her.
aid is proud to have been the first to
suggest it and is immensely gratified
at its already assured success.

PET DOG TO GET ARTIFICIAL LEG

If money and mechanical skill can
provide it, Ulapco, a splendid Russian
wolfhound, the pet OF Sidney L. Breese
and his fiancee, Miss Betty Morton, will
have an artificial leg which will suffer
little in comparison with his other
legs.
1t was about a month ago that the
keeper of the Suffolk hounds fired a
shotgun to scare Ulanco out of the pad
dock where the pack is kept. Ulanco
had been a frequent intruder. Some OF
the shot struck the Russian hound in
the left leg. He was tenderly removed
to the barn on the Breese estate, and,
with a silk pillow for a head rest and
Miss Morton and other members Of the
fashionable colony for nurses, was
operated on. The wound began to heal
but few days ago Ulanco unmuzzled
himself, gnawed away the bandage and
reopened the wound, with the result
that poisoning set in. During the next
few days Ulanco received the best pos
sible medical attendance and was over
run with callers But despite the ex-
pert care the wound grew worse. A
consultation was held and 1t was de-
cided to send him to a dog hospital to
have his leg amputated. Many tears
were shed as he was borne away, and
bulletins were received from the hos
pital with as much frequency as II a
memper of the family were under the
knife The leg was taken off. and he is
recovering. New York Herald.
