Perfumed Baths,

The most notable feature Of the fash
ion today Is the rema rkable extent to
which perfume is being used in baths.
Another modern fashion is the burning
Of perfumes in rooms. Perfumes have.
Of course. been burned in this way for
ages. but Of late there has been a re-
markable revival Of the custom. and
there are now on the market ingenious
little lamps. There has to be no fame.
The perfume is brought from the reser-
voir to the surface by an ordinary
wick and there volatillzed by redhot
needle. Oriental scents. which are
composed chiefly Of gums aud spices,
are used for t he purpose.

STUDYING Effect of Exercise.

A serious attempt to investigate
what may be called the hygiene of
sport is about to be made in Berlin.
To carry out the objects in view a
sport laboratory is to be established
and placed under the charge of the
Charlottenburg municipal authorities.
The idea had its origin in a depart
ment OF the hygiene exhibition held
recently at Dresden, in which every
thing that could throw light on the
influence of sports and gymnastic ex-
ercises on the human organism was
brought together. Special attention
was paid to bodily measurements
arising under different conditions and
from different muscular exercises, and
particular observation was directed 20
the good and harmful effects Of the
several sports and gymnastics on the
human body and it's members. One
of the chief objects of the new labora-
tory will be the observation Of all that
possibly affects school children in re.
spect of food and physical exercises.

Snow and sleet fell from the sunless

in the sea. When the storm ceased
there was no sign Of land anywhere,

safest and quickest method of escape
1t seemed to me this night, given up
to revelry, afforded the best possible
opportunity for my safely passing the
British guard lines. Tomorrow disci-
pline would be resumed, the soldiers
would return to their posts and the
citizens of the city would again ap-
pear on the streets. This would great
ly intensity my danger, for, at any
moment, l might encounter some one
who knew me, who might denounce
me to the authorities
That this was the exact truth of the
situation could not be denied, yet,
now. every reckless impulse of my
disposition urged me to remain; the
invitation Of those laughing blue eyes,
the challenge read in the lady's fair
face, the unsolved mystery of her iden-
tity, all combined in temptation |
found 1t impossible to resist. For a
dance with her, possible understand
ing, | was willing to venture life itself.
1t must have been nearly nine
o'clock when, in company with a
young cornet, I rode up to the house
given up to festivities, and, turning
over our horses to the care of cavalry
grooms, climbed the wide steps to the
door leading into the hall.
All was riot Of color, rich, bewil-
dering, with smiling faces, and laugh
ing lips everywhere. In such a spot,
amid such surroundings, war seemed
a dream, far-off delirium
My companion disappeared, and,
to escape the pressure of those surg
ing back and forth through the wide
doorway, found passage close to the
wall, and half circled the room, finally
discovering halting place in the re-
cesses of window, where, partially
concealed myself by flowing curtains,
I could gaze out over the brilliant as
semblage. Half ashamed of the plain
ness Of my own attire, and feeling a
stranger and an alien, was yet con-
sciously seeking the one face which
had lured me there.
Enough conversation reached me to
disclose a promised display of fire.
