BATHING AT piEPPR:
OF Comparatively Recent orlgln-ons
Woman's Experience.

vi NOIlRdI dt'NCIy
Woman's Experience.
II Is dificult to realize how compar'
atively recent Is sea bathing In France
Over M hundred years ago It was
quite unknown in Dieppe. The Com
Jesse de Boigne, In her Memoirs
! gives an account OF a visit she paid
/ there in 1906, which Is interesting In
, view of the position Dieppe now holds
among French watering places.
The poverty Of the inhabitants
she says, was frightful. The Eng
lshman, as they called him (and Tor
them he was worse than the deVll),
, was cruising necessarily before their
, empty harbor. With much difficulty
a boat was able to escape from time
to time and 60 fishing, always al the
risk of being captured by the foreign
err or confiscated upon the return jour
new. if the telescopes of the watchers
had seen it approach a vessel.
LAS for the comforts arranged Tor
the convenience OF bathers whlcn
Dieppe has since organized, they were
nonresident at that time. My brother
was able 10 find a little covered cart,
and with great trouble and great ex-
pense. notwithstanding the universal
poverty, a man was hired to Lead the
horses down 10 the sea and two
women TO 20 into the sea with me.
These preparations raised the pub
lie surprise and curiosity to such a
pitch that my first bath was watched
by a crowd on the shore. My servants
were asked II | had been bitten by a
mad dog.
Il aroused extreme pity as / went
by. and it was thought that | was be-
ing taken TO be drowned. An old gem
tleman called on my father to point
out to him that he was assuming a
great responsibility In permitting so
rash an act. 1t can hardly be imag-
ined that the inhabitants Of a sea
shore could be so afraid OF the sea.
But at that time the people of
Dieppe were chiefly occupied In keep
ing out of sight Of 1t and in protect
ing themselves from the disasters
which they feared the sea might bring,
so that II was for them nothing more
than a means of annoyance and suffer
ing. 1t is curious TO think that ten
wears later bathers were arriving IN
hundreds. that special arrangements
were made for their convenience, and
that sea bathing of every kind went
on without producing any astonish-
ment in the neighborhood.
81 have thus attempted to point out
that the custom of sea bathing,
which is now so universal, is compare
lively recent in France, for Dieppe
was The first place where it began"

GOVERNMENT FINDS FRAUD.
Decision Affecting tiomesteaders Is Of
Vital Importance to the Northwest.

The Mitchell land Office has JUS
received a decision from the depart
mcnt at Washington. which will ac'
as a guide TO people who are filing
on land with the bare idea OF making
final proof upon it and then leaving
for parts unknown.
A test case was made Ia a North
Dakota filing in the person of Gilbert
Satrang OF Canton. s. ID. The evil
dence submitted indicated that as
soon as Satrapg had proved up he in
tended to return to Canton or some
other point. His ensry was Cancelled,
and the land reverted to the govern
ment.

west of Chamberlain a year or two
K many people wen out there for
just that purpose. and the instances
were numerous when an entryman
had completed his residence on his
claim and was ready to prove up. Be
fore going to the land office they had
sold off their claim shanty and dis
posed of all evidences OF civilization
on their claims. Having done that
they have o n 10 the land Office and
proved up. In a number OF cases
these parties have lost their land by
reason OF others. knowing OF their in
tentions. have filed upon IL and won
out ON u contest of the property.
That the government inspectors are
keeping a close watch on settlers in
this respect is shown by the fact that
: proofs at Kadoka. 3s at Philip and
80 st Cottonwood have been o
mended for rejection. and hat several
parties in Lyman county have been
ordered back To their claims within
sixty days to show good faith OF their
residence.

The Dream of the Key,

Some small article had been lost--l forget now what; let us say a key-be. longing to one of two sisters who were travelling together. It could nowhere be found But one night one of the sisters dreamed that she saw the key in the pocket of her travelling bag She told this dream on waking to the other the sister asked. No, I have not" said she "for the very good reason that there Is no pocket in my travel Ing bag" Well" said the other, there Is pocket in mine. will just have q look there on the chance" And ence Is that the dreamer had seen with the eye of sense. though not with the eye of observation, the key put Into the pocket. Even when the key was 80 found she had no recollection of seeing 1t placed there. but the brain had unconsciously recorded the sensa. ton. In course of sleep it had stun. bled on that record, and by good luck the sleeper on awaking chanced to re member the mental operation that had taken place during sleep. It Is sin gular and almost alarming reelection that our brains are stored with count less such records of which we know nothing nor ever shall know unless the association of ideas or some peculiar mental state brings them to our no hce.--We Westminster Gazette
