RATING THE GIRLS.

Terms Young Naval Officers Use In
Fixing Feminine Beauty.
The younger officers In the navy, and
the gallant young midshipmen especial
ly, have a method of their own for re
cording feminine beauty, and they use
1t on many occasions. This is a sys-
tenn of estimating the attractiveness of
a visitor by sliding scale from %
to 4, which Is the system OF marking
at the Naval academy.
One particularly attractive girl was
walking along the deck OF one OF Uncle
Sans big warships on a day when it
was open to visitors when she over
heard two midshipmen say:
"I'n give her a 3.5, anyway. She
comes nearer to a than anything I've
seen yet"
OF course she did not understand
what this conversation was about. If
she had she would have felt rightfully
fattered, as 3.5 is an excellent mark
and one rarely given.
A 2.5 means passabie- That Is the
lowest mark that will pass at the acad-
envy. If n girl is attractive and jolly,
but without any particularly striking
beauty. she is put down as a %.

THE ENGLIsHMAN'S BATH.
Not So Very long Ago It Was an I'm
known institution.

Not So Very kong ago IL was an Sn-
known institution.
We boast ourselves a clearly people
and are apt to scorn the foreigner who
does not daily perform the ritual of
the tub. Yet, the British Medical Jour
nal points out it is not so long ago since
we had the reputation of being an ex-
ceptionally dirty people In the year
1900 there was not single private
house In London provided with bath
room.
A witness stated before the health
commission about the middle of the
last century that the only two occa-
sions on which one of the laboring
classes was washed all over was i'm
mediately after birth and after death.
Even at tie present day our contem-
porary doubts If dirtier people could
be found anywhere In the world than
among our lower classes. "a French
workman would be ashamed to wear
the clothes In which the British labor
er goes to his daily work There Is
nothing that tramps who apply at
warehouses think more brutal tyran-
ny than the enforced BATH
In the middle ages, we are reminded,
our dirt and squalor were the theme
OF comment by foreign visitors. Three
centuries ago what most struck a Por-
tuguese traveller In England was the
fact that the English gentry never
washed. Erasmus has left a picture
of the dirt that prevailed in the houses
Of noblemen-
1t is not difficult from this to imagine
what the state of things must have
been among the poorer classes. At one
time both men and women who were
careful of their compilations cleaned
their faces with a dry white linen
cloth, because 1t was believed that
washing the face with water made it
more susceptible to cold in winter and
to tan in summer. The story Of Lady
Mary Wortley Montagu's hands is too
well known to be repeated. Johnson
said he had no passion for clean linen,
and even the fine gentlemen of hissday
were far from scrupulously clean in
their persons.-W estminster Gazette.
