BARE FOOT EXERCISE.
A Stirring Defense Of a Scotch Ma
tiOnal Custom.

In report to Glasgow parish
council on the children act, DR.. Will
liam Cutler, the district medical Of
hcer, says: The habit of going with
the feet bare is something of ma
tional custom in Scotland, and if less
seen now than several years ago that
is solely because of the changing
customs of the people, and in no sense
due to any diverse influence that it
ever had on the health, says the Lon
don Daily Mail.
IF the wealthier sections of the
community do not now, in the city,
permit their children to exercise in
the naked feet, they familiarly dress
them in sandals and cotton socks-a
custom which has little more than the
virtue of cleanliness to recommend it.
Even the kilt-the national garb
which exposes the knees-is a cruelty
in the eyes of some people, notwith-
standing every proof 10 the contrary.
Father Kniep, whose cure-the Knlep
cure largely in vogue some
years ago (and is still so, though to a
less degree), founded all conditions
of good health on exercise in the
naked feet.
In three separate industries To-
Gated in one part of the city there
can be seen daily, summer and win
ter, going to their employment, adult
young women in their bare feet. And
during nearly 20 years parochial ex-
perience in that neighborhood, have
never heard it suggested that they
were physically any the worse for it..
THE sensation of cold is nat
ural, physical call for exercise, and
only intensifies to one of pain when
the call is neglected, or opportunity
does not permit it's being attended to;
and just az exercise, by becoming
customary, lessons in the degree of
fatigue produced, 80 the sensation Of
cold, by becoming habitual, comes to
be so much less felt that it gets
ignored"

Swarm of Bees Attacks Bather.

Denver, August 26.-Removing his
bath robe and placing one foot in the
cool water that filled his bath tub
yesterday, Chaplin Gard, a Denver
mining man, was suddenly electrified
by a series of sharp pains in practi-
cally every portion of his anatomy.
At the same time a loud buzzing fill
ed the room. Then followed tur-
moil.
Other occupants of the house who
came to investigate the disturbance
found Gard in the costume of a pre-
historic warrior, vainly swinging a
wet bath towel and waging a battle
against a swarm of bees that had
invaded the bath room through a
hole in the window screen.

Illicit Distillery in Shadow Of Capitol

Washington, August 25.-Two
Asheyille revenue officers have sue
ceeded in bringing to task the own
ers of a still that is being Irregular
ly operated almost within the shadow
of the dome of the United States
capitol. The still is registered one,
but the officers discovered an en-
ployee in the act Of transporting
from the warehouse connected with
it a barrel of corn whiskey on which
the internal revenue tax had not
been paid. The result was that the
employee and the booze spent the
night at the station house, and the
next morning the owners Of the
place were added to the quarry and
taken before the United States COM
missioner. A hearing will be had
tomorrow.
Revenue Officers James A. Pierce
and L. F. Hansborough, who are well
known in Asheville as contraband
booze chasers, were the men who did
the trick in Washington. The owners
of the still, who are implicated in the
affair, came to Washington some
time ago from Louisville, KY, and
for some time they have been turn
ing out 100 gallons of corn whiskey
a day. They have had a ready mar
ket for their product. Most OF it
has been handled in accordance with
the revenue laws, but the office OF
the commissioner of internal reVe-
nue. became suspicious, and the ar
rests caused by the agents of the de-
partment were the result.
The revenue officers stationed
themselves near the distillery in
question and watched operations Tor
some time. A negro driver in the
employ of the concern, which is call
ed the Capital Supply company
drove up to the back door of the
warehouse. One of the managers OF
the company rolled a barrel into his
wagon, the driver pulled the curtain
of his wagon down, and drove on.
Then the officers took a hand, ana
discovered that the barrel was filed
with corn whiskey, and that had no
revenue stamps attached. The negro
claimed that he did not know the
contents of the barrel, but was only
obeying orders of his employees. He
was locked up, however, and waived
examination, being committed to jail.
His employers were then arrested
and will be arraigned tomorrow be-
fore the commissioner.
The boldness of the operations OF
the Capital Supply company IN
handling illicit whiskey in broad day.
night in Washington served to startle
the revenue department.

Woman Stands for Eight Hours in
Cistern Until Husband Comes.

Sedan, Kan, August 26.-Stand'
ing in five feet of water in the bot
tom of a cistern at her home near

farmer, for eight hours held aloft
her 2-year-old child until the arrival
of her husband to-day.
The child had fallen into the els
tern and the mother Immediately
sprang after it, seized the baby in
her arms, raised it above the sur
face Of the water and called for help.

woman's calls and she waited for the
return of her husband from his work
in the fields.
After being taken from the cis-

OLD PRINCETON CUSTOMS.
Students Forbidden to Employ a Hair
Dresser on Sunday.


Speaking of old customs at Prince
ton University, DR.. John B. Sturges
of Springfield, ILL.,, was seen at the
Shoreham, said that the strict obser'
vance of Sunday laws was at one
time one of the most important fac
tors at the college.
"a hint that more luxurious hab-
it's were creeping into college life is
found in the edition of the laws issu'
ed in 1902" said Doctor Sturges,
"where it is stated that no student
shall employ any. barber or hair dress
er to shave or dress him on the Sab
bath and also that no student shall
keep for his use or pleasure any
horse or riding beast, nor shall any
student keep a dog or gun or firearms
or ammunition of any kind. Ten years
later the words sword, dirk, sword
cane or any deadly weapon whatever
were added to the list Of contraband
articles and remained in the laws for
several college generations.
.tIn the middle of the nineteenth
century a new rule appeared directed
against horn specs, form of under
graduate bedevilment of authority
that had not been thought of in ear
lier days. At a preconcerted signal
on a dark night, from behind tree
on the campus, the footing OF innum-
erable horns would suddenly break
the silence. The din was hideous'
and the college proctor, and often
the vice president, himself would be
out hunting the lodging figures. 1t
was to stop this amusement that the
law against the blowing of horns was
put into operation.
'The college still forbids under
graduates to keep dogs in their rooms
and they are not allowed to discharge
firearms or kindle bonfres on the uni
versity grounds. 1t is a mystery
where the scores Of fox terriers ano
bull pups which seem to be the Ia
yorite pets of the modern undergrad
nate, are kept, and the din tna1
echoes around the campus during
what is called "Polar's recess" at y
o'clock in the evening, during the
examination period, signalling a re"
minutes respite from hard study IN
preparation for the tests Of the next
day. seems to indicate that there are
executions to the rule against dis
charging firearms too numerous for
the proctor to handle"

the we'll boy.
Mrs. Mamie I. Warn has been Sc
cured as matron of the girls dormi-
tory. While it has never been my
good fortune to meet her I take
pleasure in quoting from Brother
T. l.. Belvin, one of our Methodist
ministers, Il was Mrs. YARNS pastor
for four years and the Carlisle Fit
ting School is fortunate in securing
her services as matron."
The course of study at the school is
in accord with the requirements of
the Southern Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools. With the
teachers now in the school this means
that students who finish this course
will be thoroughly prepared for any
college or university in the South.
Those who do not find themselves
able to continue their studies will
have fair working education. In
order that this course or study may
be thoroughly and properly carried
out a study hall will be conducted
by one of the teachers for those STU
dents who have difficulties or who
are negligent of their work when left
to study in their rooms. This will
be splendid training and great op-
portunity for the boy or girl who is
backward or careless.
The moral and religious life of the
students is closely watched by the
faculty and they are constantly en-
couraged along these lines. They
have a Y. M. G. A. which furnishes
them opportunity for work among
themselves. Students are required
to attend services at some church
every Sunday morning and Sunday
school at the church of their parents
designation.
In almost, if not in every Charge
there are young people "no ale
ready to take up this preparatory
work. Prof. Guilds has been tireless
in his efforts to see the young people
in this entire section but no one man
can cover the whole ground. We are
now within four weeks of the open
inq The PROSPECTS are encouraging.
Let every pastor who has worthy
young man or young woman in his
charge who should be in such a
school drop Prof. Guilds a card at
once and then back up this card with
a personal word to the young STU
dent urging the claims and merits of
our own school.

AIENIINf PARTY
Christian fndeav0rer and Epworth
League Have a Fine Joint
Social Session

The Christian Endeavor Society of
the Congregational church and the
Epworth League of the Methodist
church joined forces last Saturday
evening and held valentine party
which broke all existing records for
attendance and good times for those
thriving Organizations.
At 8 o'clock the members, fifty
strong, assembled in the Methodist
church parlors where a very fine his
torical program was given and
thoroughly enjoyed.
Following this, the young people
adjourned to the Congregational
church parlors and sat down to a six
course spread. The eatables were
"the finest ever" and the members of
the two organizations had ''the time
of their lives'' putting them where
they would do the most good. The
tables were appropriately decorated
with hearts and other insignia appro-
pirate to the memory of good ST.
Valentine. After the inner man had
been duly attended to there was
post prandial program, Miss Mcmillan
officiating gracefully as toastmistress.
The pastor of the two churches made
appropriate remarks and a number of
others said few words. All voted
the function an unqualified success.

well known society young man of

A well known society young man of
Sank Centre who attends church with
more or less regularity slipped a cog
last Sunday and now the boys have
the laugh on him. He went to the
Congregational church a little before
five O'Clock expecting to participate
in the Vesper service. Five o'clock
came but no preacher and congrega-
ton. For another fifteen minutes he
sat quietly in his seat cogitating and
wondering; then as no other person
had put in an appearance he wended
his religious way homeward. He was
not at church in the morning, he had
also made the mistake of his life in
not reading last weeks Herald, so
was unaware that the service last
Sunday was at 7:3O instead of at S
O'Clock. Guess who it was.
