Worlds Laraest Bath Tub.

When Emperor William of Germany
ordered a pure porcelain bath tub,
seven feet six inches in length, the
largest in the world at that time, he
thought he was going some. But right
here in Seattle Alfred II. Anderson.
the millionaire logger, is Installing
the largest porcelain bath tub in the
world, which is two inches longer
than the one made for the Kaiser.
AT Mr. Anderson's home, 7lS Mintr
avenue, a crew OF men have been al
work for two weeks preparing the
bathroom, which is 10 by 1G feet, and
IL feet high. The floor is to be done
in Mosaic, while the walls and ceiling
IRE OF the finest Alaska marble.
The walls are clabs OF marble by
IL feet. and reach from floor to cell
lug. The ceiling is done in selected
marble panels.
The bath tub itself is 46 inches
wide, and some idea OF it's size may be
gained when 1t is said that a very
good quality of the standard-size bath
tub, feet by II inches by 2 feet,
weighs S75 pounds The porcelain tub
being put in for Mr.. Anderson weighs
5000 pounds
AZ one side OF the room viii be
pure porcelain shaving table, with
French plate mirror in front, and
swinging mirrors on the sides. On the
opposite side will be dressing table
in front of mirror 9 feet 6 inches
high. At one end OF the room Is an
annex for a shower bath. A heavy,
sliding glass door, with sterling silver
trimmings can be used to close this
room, In another part OF the annex
is to be a beautiful lounging room.
Instead of faucets, push buttons are
to be used for turning on hot and cold
water. All the trimmings for lights
and other ordinary use will be silver
plated white metal The trimmings OF
the dressing table, shaving table and
towel racks will be of sterling silver
fancifully wrought.
The outlay will run far into the
thousands, the entire equipment being
a special order placed in New York.

Other Side Of divorce Problem.

II Is seldom that government sta
tistics have been so thoroughly dis
cusscd by both press and pulpit as has
been the case with the bulletin on d.
vorce issued by the census bureau a
few weeks ago. The startling reyela-
tons OF the figures have aroused in
tenslied interest in one OF the ma
TONS greatest problems. Comment
which began upon the publication OF
the statistics still continues, and while
the adyoca es OF greater restriction Of
divorce, even to the extent In some
cases of practical elimination from the
law books, are apparently in the ma
jority, yet there is a strong and yigor-
Gus minority OF thinkers, both In the
pulpit and the press, who, while de-
ploring the evil effect of divorce upon
the home, yet see in its rapid increase
in this country distinct progress in
the direction of higher social ideals,
particularly in connection with the
status of women.
Distinguished rabbls, ministers and
publiclsts whose utterances challenge
the attention and thought OF intelli-
gent people, constitute this minority
which defends divorce, and the mere
weight of their names demands re-
spectful consideration of their argu-
ments And it is evident that the d.
Yorce evil, so called is not the simple
problem the advocates of restriction
would have us believe. No such vide
spread social phenomenon ever is.
Rather. IL is evideuce of y deep-seated

EXERCISE JOINTS AND MUSCLES
Novel Machines Installed in a New
York Medical College.

The 30 steel machines, with their
complicated mechanism, which will be
used in the new department of me-
chanicotherapy in the Vanderbilt
clinic of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at New York have been
placed on public exhibition The ma
chimes are a gift of Mrs. Ray Mat
shak, in memory of her husband, who
was prominent merchant. Arranged
IN long rows in a room of the clinic,
they look like gymnastic apparatus of
Intricate design.
DR.. Charles HI. Jaeger one of the
surgeons of the hospital, explained
the machines would give strength to
the tissues, bones and muscles of pa
uents convalescing from operations.
The principle of the system is to ex-
erclse the joints and muscles to re-
store them to their normal condition.
These machines are so planned,
pr. Jaeger said, that there isn't a

MAIL DELIVERED TO SAILORS.
River Postmen Employed on the
Thames at London, England.

1t is probable that London has the
distinction of being the only port where
ships lying at anchor are privileged to
have their letters delivered to them
by river postmen, it being customary
at other ports for sailors TO apply per-
sonally for their letters unless the
ship is in dock The Thames is di-
vided into two postal districts, each
under the control OF a river postman,
who delivers letters and parcels every
morning, in a craft which resembles
fisher boat more than anything else.
OF these districts the first extends
from the custom house to Lime
house, and the second from Limehouse
to Blackwell. The river postmen start
on their rounds punctually at eight
o'clock every morning, and, needless
TO say there is only one delivery a
day. The mail bag may include as
many as 500 letters, but this number
is largely increased about Christmas
time. AS he glides from ship to ship
the postman calls out: "Ahoy there!'
and hands up the letters attached TO
Doathook to the waiting crew. 1t
only takes from four to five hours to
deliver the mail, so that the postman
does not waste much time. In foggy
weather, however, it takes consider
OF finding the various ships, and OF
steering between the large vessels as
they lie at anchor.

CEREMONIES OF Pillow MONDAY
Quaint Observances That Were Once
Universal In England.

Flowing operations in England do
not commence, as rule, till the frst
Monday after January IL, and for that
reason it is known as Pillow Monday
states an English writer For centuries
the formal Inauguration of the blowing
season has taken place on this day, and
even now its quaint observances are
still kept up in some part or other of
the world
Before the pious ancestors OF the
present generation would begin to cal
tivate the ground, in Catholic times,
they would attend a special service for
the dedication of the pillow. At this SER
vice the plowmen kept lights burning
before certain images in churches, to
obtain blessing upon their work; and
they were accustomed, on this day to
go about in procession, gathering mon
ey for the support of these pillow
| lights as they We're called
After the Reformation the religious
| form of the festival changed. The peas

Thirty or forty companions, wearing
| their shirts over their Jackets anc
| heir shoulders and hats ablaze with
| highly colored ribbons, used to draw
the pillow in state through the village
preceded by one of their number in The
dress of an old woman nickname(
Bessy." Any who refused to contribute
10 the funds had their gardens plowet
up. All the demonstrators would GO
through the village with dancing an(
singing. The whole scene was one o
excited merriment.
Except in few local instances these
quaint obseryances have passed away
heir places being taken by the more
serious occupation of plowimg competi
