When the awful results of the

places erected for the assembling
of large congregations of people,
went over the country. All suoh

There was fire escape in another

Military Marches.

In military music the march occu-
pies prominent position and has
been employed not only to stimu-
late courage, but also from about
the middle of the seventeenth cen
fury to insure the orderly advance
of troops. One of the earliest in
stances of rhythmical march is the
Welsh war strain, "The March of
the Men of Harlech," which is sup
posed to have originated during the
siege of Harlech castle in 1863. In
England the military march was of
somewhat later development. Sir
John Hawkins in his "History of
Music" tells us that its character
istic was dignity and gravity, in
which respect it differed greatly
from the French, which was brisk
and alert. And apropos OF this
subject the same author notes q
witty reply of an Elizabethan sol
der to the French Marshal Biron's
remark that "the English march,
being beaten by the drum, was slow,
heavy and sluggish" "That may
be true" he said, "but slow as it
it has trayersed your masters coun-
try from one end to the other."--

gems in the kings collection of
Irish bulls. 1t was time of fam

the former premier of England, Ar
thur Balfour, then chief secretary
for Ireland, was one of the noble
hearted band of men and women
who were helping with food and
clothes the victims of those black
days. AS she sat in a cabin one
morning an old man called down
blessings on the head of her distin-
guished brother and on the heads
of all those who had ministered to
the wants of the poor.

A MISSING BUTTON.
Tho Way a French Detective Forced a
Criminal to Confess.

Theatre indeed are some of the
methods of the French detectives.
They look for the little clews rather
than the staring ones. Unlike the
English and American detectives,
they often do not wait to get ire
futable evidence before charging a
man with crime, but first charge
him with the crime and play upon
him SO that if he is guilty he is led
to confess.
Some time ago woman was muir
dered in Paris, and from her room
were stolen $50 francs in money,
her watch and jewelry. Two broth
ers, George and Paul Amot, had
been seen near the house. The
night of the day after the murder
was committed NJ. Hamard, chief of
detectives of Paris, entered wine
shop where the two brothers were
drinking. To the mans amazement
he arrested George, charging him
with the murder.
"You have changed your coat"
he said to the man, safe guess if
he had committed the murder. cit

was accidental.

SHAPING HIS CAREER.
Stephen oirard's Method With HE
FaVorite Clerk.

Stephen Girard, the founder of
Girard College For Boys, was as ec-
centric in his philanthropies as he
was shrewd and farseeing in his
business. The following story is
one of many which are told about
his novel methods of distributing
favors:
Mr.. Girard had favorite clerk,
about whom he always said he in
tended t'to do well by Ben Lippin-
colt" So when Lippincott got to
be twenty-one he expected to hear
something of his future prospects
and perhaps get helping hand to
start. But Girard carefully avoided
the subject. The clerk mustered
up courage.

he, "and l thought 1 would say
something to you as to my course.
What do you think l had better
do?"

the old millionaire, "and my adj

earnest he would do 80.
81 am in earnest" And Lippin-
colt sought the best cooper in
Spring Garden, became an appren-
tice and in due time could make as
good barrel as the best. He an
nounced to Mr.. Girard that he had
learned his trade and was ready to
set up in business. The old man
seemed gratified and Immediately
ordered three of the best barrels he
could make.
The young cooper did his pref
tiest and wheeled them up to the
old mans counting room. Girard
pronounced them first rate and de-
manded the price. "One dollar"
said Lippincott, SIS now as low az
| can live by"
"Cheap enough. Make out your
bill"
The bill was made out, and Gil
rard settled it with check for $780,
600, which he accompanied with this
moral to the story: "There, take
that. Invest it in the best possible
manner, and if you are unfortunate
and lose it you have trade to fall
back upon which will afford you a
good living"

HOT BATHS in JAPAN.
The Water the Natives Use Would
ParboiI an Occidental.

Tho Water the Natives Use Would
ParboiI an Occidental.
The extreme heat at which the
Japanese take their daily baths has
been the cause of wonder on the
part of many Caucasians, and the
prevalent opinion that one is liable
to catch cold after hot bath has
been unable to reconcile itself with
the immunity of the japanese from
colds.
In paper entitled "Baths and
Bathing In Japan" published in the
Journal of the Royal Army Medical
Corps, Major e. Bruce Barnett ex-
plains these things. He says: "The
japanese in their persons and
houses are the clcanest persons in
the world, and every man, woman
and child of high or low degree has
daily hot bath, The bathing habit
is universal and dates back to the
days of mythology, the baths being
taken at temperature which is
perfectly astonishing to people who
are only acquainted with the tepid
water of Europe and America.
There are many public baths in
Japan, but nearly every private
house has one, either in the house
itself or adjacent to it. Tho or
binary bath consists of large wood
en- tub, oval in shape and fitted with
a cover. AT one end it is travcrsed
by copper tube, in which charcoal
can be made to burn, the water in
this way being readily raised to the
required temperature. Before he
enters the tub the bather thorough
ly fathers himself from head TO foot
and washes the suds off by means of
wooden ladle or dippcr. He then
sits in the tub immersed up to his
chin for several minutes, enduring
a degree of heat by which Euro
pean would be well nigh parboiled.
When first japan began to study
the methods of western nations the
excessive heat of the baths was
strongly condemned, and law was
made that the water in the public
baths should be only moderately
heated. This caused great discon-
tent, so committee composed Of
European and japanese medical
men was appointed to decide the
question. The verdict was in favor
of the national custom, which was
pronounced to be not only harmless,
but beneficial. The high temporal
ture of the water was said to open
the pores of the skin thoroughly,
even without the use of soap, and
healthy action of the skin and clean
illness were secured which it was inn
possible to get with any amount of
washing in cold or 80 called hot
baths. The hotter the water the less
chance there was of catching cold,
while very hot bath taken when
it was felt that cold was coming
on was the very best method of
aborting it.
The fnvigorating effect of very
hot bath after tedious days jour
ney in hot or cold weather was won
derful and very different from the
relaxing effect of tepid bath. 1t
soothed the nerves, eased the tired
muscles, promoted appetite and gave
sound sleep. In very cold weather
a really hot bath had the effect of
preventing the cold being felt for
several hours afterward, while in |
hot weather it had distinctly cool
ing and agreeable effect.
