The English Cold Morning Bath
"A Snare and a DeluSiOn.
'eeee WSscsass ssaes@S8G o eoee o

Says "a plain American" in the
American Magazine:
Everyone knows about the ira
dition of the cold morning bath. All
Englishmen mention the fact in a cas-
ual manner thai they have one at
Least once each day, but | have Won
dered If they did not protest too
much. How can anyone prove that
they actually get into this aforesaid
cold bath? That two-hundred
pound man can get into a zinc pan
eighteen inches in diameter at the
bottom, or prGnce about the great
bilge keel which surrounds it, does
not seem reasonable
AFTER getting out of fairly warm
bed many times, and trying to do
acrobatic acts in tepid water with
a damp atmosphere of about forty
degrees, in a stone-walled room with
the concentrated cold of four hun
dred or more long years hermetically
sealed in musty old castle, I de-
cided 20 fake the cold bath, as now
believe all Englishmen do.
It's an easy game, and this is the
way to do it. Jump from the bed and
land, if possible, clear of the stone
floor on any old stray rug or piece of
carpet. Dress hurriedly and COM
pletely and draw razor over your
blue chop called chin, staunch the
blood with your own pocket handker-
chief-don't use the bath towel; then
drag the zinc bathtub to the centre of
the floor, lay bath towel or two
spread out beside it, then throw the
soap as hard as possible into the
water six or seven times (this gives
the effect OF natural English bath
splash, slap the ends of another
towel in the water, wet your hands
(no matter If it does make 'em ache)
you must do this) and slap them
on the towels to represent wet foot

shining morning face--the kind R, L.

Sixteenth Century Inns.

Supervision over the inns was far
stricter than at present, especially in
italy At Lucca and at Florence all
the inns were in a single street, and
in many towns the new arrival was
taken before the authorities by the
guard at the gates before he was al
lowed to choose his inn, to which he
would be conducted by soldier. AT
Lucca, too, was a department of the
judiciary which was specially con-
cerned with strangers, and to this the
innkeepers had to send daily report
Of each guest, Yet to Judge by the
tourists accounts the supervision
might we'll have been carried further
and reports upon the innkeepers re-
quired from the tourists. Such a sys-
lem of double reports would have
been a check on the numbering inn
keeper, to whom there are occasional
references. A landlord at Poitiers was
detected in the middle OF the seven
teenth century, and at Stralesund, SO
runs another Gale, 500 Cd persons
had disappeared at one inn. They
had reappes,red. 1t is true --- but

MARRIAGES IN FRA NCE.
A Large Increase Since New Law Sim.
pIiiled FormalitiesL

A Large Increase Since New Law Sim.
pIiiled Formalitiea
1t is an interesting and noteworthy
fact that since the promulgation OF
the law of June, 1907, the effect Of
which is to simplify the formalities
which are the necessary preliminaries
to marriage in that country, there
have been more weddings in France
than at any period since the begin
ming of last century with the excep-
tion of the years 1913 and 1872, in
the former of which men contracted
unions to escape being sent off to
fight, while in the latter many we'd
dings took place which had been de-
layed by the war with Germany This
very satisfactory state Of things, ac-
cording to a correspondent of the
London Telegraph, is due to the In
itiative Of the Able Lemaire, one OF
the deputies for the Department Of
the Nord He was not able to get all
his propositions adopted by his col
leagues, but the law which was finally
passed, such as it Is, has already done
vast ambount of good.
Among the relief which the act has
brought to persons intending to
marry, it has freed those who are
over thirty years OF age from procur-
ing the whole series of documents
and certificates upon which the Code
Civil insisted. Then, after the age
mentioned, it is no longer necessary
to obtain the consent of the parents
indeed, after the age of twenty-one,
this can also be dispensed with, pro-
vlded that it is shown that due no.
tice has been sent to them. These
are the two principal benefits of the
law of 1907, and the result Is that
many people of the lower classes are
now married who might have been
tempted to do without the ceremony,
as, they found 1t impossible to collect
the needful papers, or were prevented
by the caprice Of parents who refused
their consent for no valid reason.
What the relief thus obtained
means will be understood when 1t Is
explained that, in the case of persons
who had lost their parents, and who
were engaged to be married, upward
of nineteen documents were required
by the Code Civil of 1904, including
two certificates of birth, two of resi-
dence, two of non-opposttion, the
usual military record book. four cer-
tificates Of the death of parents, and
eight of the grandparents, for the en-.
tire set of which 22 had to be paid.
Naturally, it is in the large towns,
where people have been living awhile
away from their native villages, that
the result of this beneicent law of
1907 has been most conspicuous, and
all this, as need hardly be added,
makes for morality, which In these
days seems to require a good deal of
practical encouragement, at least In
the big towns.

Rhubarb.

While rhubarb has been cultivated
in this country since 1873, it Is only
lately that it has been grown as a
substitute for fruit The early culti-
vation of the plant was altogether
for the sake Of the root, which was
used to prepare the medicinal rhu-
barb. AS regards the date of the in
PRODUCTION of the rhubarb into this
country we may note that e. M.
Holmes in the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA states that it was introduced
into England through Sir Matthew
Lister, physician to Charles l., who
gave seed obtained by him in Italy
to the botanist Parkinson"
The rhubarb of our gardens is
native Of Siberia and the basin of the
Volga, and it's name recalls its Rus
sian origin. The ancient name of the
Volga was the Ria, and the name
came to be applied to the root of the
plant imported from thence. So the
Romans called it Ria barbarum, the
foreign root. From this came the
French rhubarbe and the English
rhubarb. During its cultivation in
this country many new varieties have
been raised from seed.--The Field.

Thrilling Feats in Baseball.
BY GEORGE JEAN NATHAN.

even more remarkable, he scored a
shutout in each game, and in the first
game allowed only two hits.
The most spectacular college
achievement for 1909---as we'll as for
several seasons preceding-was to the
credit Of pitcher Mcclure, of Amherst.
He pitched no-hit game against the
Naval Academy, winning by score
of to O.; held Yale down to one hit,
winning by the same score; pitched a
no-hit game against Williams, win
ming by tally of to 0, and then
pitched another no-hit game against
West Point, winning by a 8 to score.
In the way of thrilling pitching feats
it is to be chronicled that Samuel
Weems, of the Macon (Ga.) nine, last
year equalled the worlds record held
by "Addie" Joss and ICY" Young, in
q game with the Mercer team. Weems
did not give hit or base on balls,
and did not hit batter. He struck
out fourteen men and retired twenty
seven successive batsmen. Another
spectacular performance was that of
pitcher Browning, of the San Fran
cisco team, who won sixteen success
sive victories. He lost the seven
teenth game to Portland by the close
score of 1 to o.
A record-breaking day was Septem-
ber 26, 1909, as far as the Pacific
Coast League was concerned. The
first game of double header was won
by the Vernon team against Sacra-
mento in the fast time of one hour
and fourteen minutes, one minute
quicker than the previous record. The
second game was won by the same
team in the even faster time of one
Aeela.f twweeifFe and eff-lf&ll minutes;
the Sacramento nine being unable to
get hit off pitcher Vance for seven
innings.
In the way of a remarkable total of
hits made by teams in single day
the record Of the last day of the West
ern Association is unique. In the last
games of the season of 1909 in this
league Pittsburg made thirteen hits
to Muskogee' S eleven; Guthrie, twelve
to Springfield's ten; Enid, fifteen to
El Reno's ten, and Sapulpa, sixteen
against Bartlesville. le.-Harpers Week
