A BATHLESS AGE.
For a Thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.

For a Thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.
When Egypt. Greece and Rome were
at the height OF their ancient power
their citizens made bathing social
function. municipal duty and re.
hgious observance. The public baths
OF these nations were magnificent ar
chitecturally and important as centers
Of hygienic and municipal sentiment.
With the decadence OF these coun
tries the world seems TO have reverted
10 period OF mental sloth and physi
cal unclcanlncss. As an authority ON
the matter puts %:
For 1000 years there was not p
man or woman in Europe that ever
took bath. IL the historian OF these.
times. Micheiet, Is 10 be believed. The
ancient love OF the bath seemed To
have disappeared from on the land
There was no Greece or Rome to

that the people OF the continent be-

they were in spite Of tradition to the
contrary.
1T Is not strange that there came
the awful epidemics that cut of one

mental epidemics that followed in their
train-the dancing mania. the mewine,

A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Wased.

The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century. the period Of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between FIVE and six
years between Il bankrupt grocer OF
Berlin and the elector Of Saxony. who
was the most powerful German prince
Of the period. The grocer's name was
Hans kohlhase. and the immediate
cause OF the quarrel was the arresting
Of two Of his horses in the electors
territory. he being n subject Of the
elector Of Brandenburg. Failing 10
get redress. he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal eXpedient and de
clared formal war on the realm Of
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
in due form, and the war began
The extraordinary part Of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went TO the extrem-
ity Of declaring war on his own sover-
eign in the meantime before he was
caught. He burned farms and even
villages. employed mercenaries after
the fashion Of the times and made
himself the terror Of the district He
was finally Influenced TO stop hostiIi-
ties by Luther. and after he had taken
the sacrament from his hands he was
betrayed into a further act OF hostility
by treachery and. being captured. suf-
fered death on the wheel after refus-
ing an act of grace which granted him
the painless and honorable death OF
the sword. The story is perhaps the
strangest of all the romances OF that
romantic age.-Westminster Gazette.

and spoke of his feelings in that regard
saying he was going to die. About 8
o'clock he was taken with an attack of
apoplexy. The doctor was called but
could render little assistance and a few
hours later he died.
Mr.. Maxson was a veteran OF the

The sale of a large number of farms
and the changing of tenants has occa-
stoned a large amount of moving in the
country districts this spring, and it
comes too when the roads are in such
condition as to make itquite disagree

farmer who tipped over his load twenty
times in few miles trip. Where
changes are being made it is quite nee
essary that the farmer should be on

which his firm has in Wisconsin leaf.

not necessarily effect the cost of living
ato the average citizen. Not if economy
is practiced and the table not supplied
with all the useless dishes with which
we Americans are wont to pile it. Dio
Lewis years ago proved beyond dispute
that person could live reasonably well
on 90 cents week, but Dio was ex-
travagant beyond measure as compared
to an Edgerton lady, who lived well on
SO cents week and at time when the
price of all things is so high that one
has to stand on the top round of a step
ladder to reach it. The lady referred
to is Mrs. Nancy Howell, wife of Isaac
Howell. The Howells are extremely
ecopomical, not by compulsion from a
financial standpoint, but because they
sincerely believe it promotes longevity
and produces the greatest amount of
happiness. Mrs. Howell demonstrated
that person can live reasonably well
and keep the hungry wolf at bay on SO
cents week. That's what she did.
The menu for the week commencing
February 20 was: Graham bread, sau-
sage, egg, corn fakes, soda crackers,
oleomargarine and hot water, the total
expense of what she ate being just SO
cents. Her appetite was good, she ate
all she. wanted and was in the best OF
heath. and spirits. And now If you
hear of anyone grumbling at the high
price of living refer them to Mrs.
Nancy Howell.

The Bible in Practical Life.

From Clayton Sedgwick Cooper's "Coll eye
Men and the Biblel' in the May Century
One of the most practical features of
the present uprising of students lies In
the fact that the Bible is being trans.
ferred from the region of dogmatic and
theological conceptions to the realm of
real life. The book is being rediscov.
cred mot simply as a store-house of
mysterious and sacred information, but
as means leading to successful and
normal human life. The Bible is tax.
ing its place among the serviceable
books of the world. 1t is proving itself
to be the first book for conduct, which
Matthew Arnold asserts composes three.
fourths of human life; the simplest
thing to know and the hardest thing as
regards doing. A student coming out
of one of these Bible groups was recent
ly overheard to say to friend; II feel
as though l had much to do in the
world"
