LIVED ON so CENTS A WEEK.
London Miser who Is "'~rth
Quarter of q Million Dollars.

A miser who had lived Tor years in
was in receipt of an income of $4,000
year and had, it is believed. s250,000
worth of property, has just forsaken
his solitary life and sought better shell
ter in a Stafford hospital. New York
Suns London correspondent says. His
name is John Clarence Hudson. He
was found by the hospital officials
lying on a bedstead covered with a
dirty rag, with a stick by his side to
keep the rats from his food.
He told the officials that he could
live well on so cents a week. A cents
worth of milk had to last him four
days and a loaf of bread for a week.
His meat allowance was half a pound
week, and he bought half a pound
OF sugar every three months. Yet he
admitted that he had $17,500 of rail
way stock and house property. and it
is stated that he received a legacy of
si50,O0O from his parents.
He also declared that he had not
been bathed for twenty years, and ii
took two nurses two hours and half
to make up the arrears in that respect
But amid all the squalor of his home
the officials found a touch of a long
dead romance.
A table was laid in one room for two
people to dine. 1t had always been
kept like that, they were informed by
the woman who attended the miser
Hudson, who practiced years ago as a
solicitor, is said to have been crossed
In love.
Another feature of the case was the
discovery of picture of Spanish beg
gar girls, which, Hudson declares, is
| a Murillo.

The man was neither neatly nor web

ging, and had just turned away from
one passer-by when he saw a young
man walking briskly toward him.
Please, mister" said the tramp, "can

The young man stopped. Whats

Tubing and Rubbing.

A great many people seem to pride
themselves on being we'll bathed indi-
viduals on the ground that every
morning they jump for short mo-
menl into a tub of cold water. AS
a matter of fact it is quite possible to
perform this feat for three hundred
and siXty-five days in the year, and
yet to miss entirely the real purpose
of the daily bath.
The cold plunge or shower is excel
lent in It's way for those to whom it
is suited, that is, for the young and
the vigorous. who react perfectly. For
these it is invigorating and stimulat-
ing. AS cleansing process 1t is
hardly enough, because getting clean
does not mean merely letting water
pass over the surface of the body.
To be really clean one must make
sure that the millions of tiny pores,
by means of which the skin does its
work for the physical economy, are
kept cleared of waste products and in
good working condition.
The skin is one of the most impor-
Nohb VI bAC oNoNCn6ClS VI Tue b1bltul,
but one cannot expect it to do its
work properly if its myriads of tiny
holes through which it gives off waste
matter are blocked
This waste matter is largely given
off in the perspiration, which is COM
ing through it all the time, whether
sensibly or insensibly. If this per-
spiration is checked, the waste prod
ucls are driven into the system, with
the result that the other organs of
elimination, the kidneys or the bow
els, are asked to do double duty. and
double duty is not demanded of any
organ long without bill having to be
paid somehow, some time.
To keep the skin in perfect working
condition an occasional bath that real
ly washes it is called for This bath
should take the form of plenty of
warm water, some good mild soap. a
small brush, and above all a good
rough towel, for the final rub is really
more important than the soap and wa
ter wash.
The skin is renewing itself all the
time, with the result that it is always
giving off minute scales, and it is
these which largely serve to block the
pores. Anyone can stand in a good
light with clean, dry nail brush and
prove this. Us the brush vigorously
anywhere on the skin and observe the
minute dry particles that will fly off.
1t stands to reason that a swift
plunge into cold water and a gingerly
dab with a smooth towel are mol
enough to properly remove these
scales. In fact, If one were so placed
that 1t was temporarily impossible to
get bath, the skin could be kept
in condition by vigorous dry rubbing
so far as all the purposes of health
manded.-Youth's Companion.

EGGS AS OMENA
Curious Dfvfnation Custom Among
Hill Tribes I'm Fnrthest India.


The egg enters in a peculiar way
into the lives Of the people OF the
khasi Hills, in Assam, Farther India.
No event of any importance in the life
OF Khasi takes place without divina-
ton by egg-breaking. The number Of
eggs broken for omens is only limited
by the resources of the owner. Groups
of Khasis may be seen arguing and
wrangling for hours, and accompany
ing their calculations by furiously
banging an egg on the ground, until in
time they are standing in disgusting
mess Of egg shells, yolks and the
blood-red saliva caused by betel-chew-
ing. When the success or failure of
some prospective event is in question,
the custom is to drop an egg on pc
culiarly shaped board, and then, from
the conhguration of the splashed yolk,
and the position Of the bits OF shell
draw an augury concerning what is
likely to happen. When il is desired
to discover the cause OF some sickness
or misfortune. the man addresses the
egg after this fashion: "Oh, egg, l am

Body of Late Portland Editor Rests in
Cemetery.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 14.-Under the
pines of Riverview cemetery, which
overlooks the Willamette valley and the
great city of which he had been so i'm
portant part, the men of Old Oregon
laid to rest today the body of Harvey
Whitfield Scott, late editor of the Port
land Oregonian.
To the cemetery the body was es-
corted by a cortege the size of which
has never been equaled here, and which
was composed of the men who are now
and who have been high in the councils
of the great northwest, as well as the
friends who had known Mr.. Scott from
his youth and those alongside whom
he had passed his days of labor.
The funeral services were held at the
home of Mr.. Scott, and were private.
They were conducted by the Rev. T. l..
Eliot, pastor meritus of the First Uni
tartan church, the longtime friend and
pastor of the dead editor. At the grave
the services were in charge of the Ma
sonic fraternity and the impressive
service of that order, of which Mr.
Scott was a member of high degree, was
read.
