The history of the hasty wedding is
as spectacular as are many of the
other incidents in the careers of Clapp

TUBING AND RUBBING.
The Way to Keep the Skin In Perfect
Working Condition.

A great many people seem to
pride themselves On being we'll
bathcd individuals on the ground
that every morning of their lives
they jump for a short moment into
tub of cold water. As Il matter of
fact, it is quite possible to perform
this feat for 365 days in the year
and yet to miss entirely the real
purpose of the daily bath.
The cold plunge or shower is cx-
cellcnt in its way for those to whom
it is suitcd-that is, for the young
and the vigorous, who react perfect
ly. For these it is invigorating and
stimulating. As a cleansing process
it is hardly enough, because getting
clean docs 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 ccon-
omy, are kept cleared Of waste prod
ucts and in good working condition.
The skin is one of the most i'm
portant Of the scavcngers of the
system, but one cannot expect it to
do it's work properly if its myriads
Of tiny holes through which it gives
off waste matter arc blocked.
This waste matter is largely given
off in the perspiration, which is
coming through it all the time,
whether scnsibly or inscnsibly. If
this pcrspiration is checked the
waste products arc driven back into
the system, with the result that the
other organs of elimination, the
kidneys or the bowels, arc asked to
do double duty, and double duty is
not demanded Of any organ long
without a bill having to he paid
somehow, some time.
10 keep the skin in perfect work
ing condition an occasional bath
that really 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 water wash.
The skin is renewing itself all the
time. with the result that it is al
ways giving off minute scales, and it
is these which largely servo to block
the pores. Any one can stand in a
good light with a clean, dry nail
brush and prove this. Use 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 gingcrly dab with
smooth towel arc not enough
properly to remove these scales. In
fact, if one were so placed that ii
was temporarily impossible to get Il
bath the skin could be kept in con-
dition by vigorous dry rubbing SO
far as all the purposes Of health de-
manded.-Youth's Companion.

Tho Giant Spider Of ceyIon.

Far up in the mountains Of Cey-
Ion there is gigantic spider which
spins a bright yellow web, each
thread being almost as large an6
strong as "buttonholc twist" or EN-
broidcry floss. The net which this
creature forms from these webs is
often five to eight feet across. This
net is swung on mainstays or guys
which are from ten to twenty-five
feet in length and strong enough to
call the pedestrian to halt as sud-
denly as if he had encountered a
low hanging clothesline. These yell
low webs are collected by the ma
tives and woven into pretty mats,
screens, etc.

DAHLMAN SAVES BURNESTER.
Mayor Vetoes Resolution Of Council
Directed at Understudy.
ALSO TAKES RAP AT CITY CLERK
lnsinuntes Buffers G-RstronOmtc
Tastes Are Not HiEIy Cultivated
and Advises Careful Conduct
During Grand Jury Session.

Mayor Dahlman has vetoed the resolu-
ion passed by the council Tuesday even
ing, which purported to constitute the city
clerk and the city hall newspaper reporters
as part of the municipal government ex-
officio, and ordered President Burmestey
to give a banquet.
In his veto message the mayor gives the
following reasons for his action:
First-This resolution Is entirely too broad
In its character by making the city clerk
a part of your organization. He would
have no business at this spread II given; II
would be entirely too rich for his blood.
Dollar banquets are the kind he shines at.
Second| object TO the newspaper men
being made a part Of this love feast as
contemplated by your resolution. This
might be interpreted by some as a bride.
and the grand jury being in session now,
might result in a long and tedious investi-
CATION, and at great cost to the taxpayers.
Third-Thi resolution strikes me as
though your honorable BODY Is trying to
coerce the acting mayor, president of the
city council and chairman Of the fire and
police board, into doing something he may
not be able to do. It's true, with all OF
the above named titles, there should be no
question on that point, but nevertheless l
feel he should be given the benefit of the
doubt.
l have investigated this matter fully and
am satisfied there is a deep conspiracy on
the part of some of your members. So
knowing this and believing it, / must veto
this resolution.
l do not mean by this veto that, should
our friend Burmester on his W motion
decide, after having all OF these honors
conferred on him, that a little SS.quet and
proper refreshments on his part is not due
the honorable city council, the newspaper
men and the city clerks office IL he desires
to give It, and that we would all gladly
join him, no matter how early the date
might be.
L would suggest before a vote is taken
on this veto that he be heard from. He
may be able to satisfy your honorable
body If given an opportunity.

why's and Wherefores.

OMAHA, Feb. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: Judging from the complaints being
made against high prices, whether just or
not, there is apt to be much disappoint-
ment IL the world isn't turned over side
Ways, every one protected but ourselves,
and, in fact, everything done that we ex-
pect.
From some OF the more radical com
ments one would be led to think this evil
monster had come upon us In a night
standing over us with his horned club
while we yet rubbed our eyes. Not so.
Our worthy statisticians have been long
since pointing their pencils at him in the
dim distance.
What of the drift of the population to
the cities? We cannot expect the provls-
ions to be furnished by only one producer
at the same price it used to be with two,
at the pillow. Yet we do.
What of the wages now going, against
the one half, of before, and sometimes no
work at that? We cannot expect wages to
be double per hour n not have to pay
twice as much for flour. Yet we do.
There is force enough to either condition
alone to warrant the state of affairs, and
with the combination of the two it is rather
to be wondered at that we are not paying
more for commodities than we are.

CAUSE OF SHELTER TRAGEDY

The cause of accident at the works of

OF two men and the probable fatal injury
of a third by scalding with melted copper,
will probably remain a mystery.
After the most painstaking examinations
of the big converter which exploded and
the machinery involved, nothing which
would indicate the cause has been found.

Immediately after the accidens. and now
that we have taken it apart, the cause is
