Terms Young Naval Officers Use In

THE ENGLISHMAN'S BATH.
Not So Very Long Ago It Was al IN
known Institution.

We boast ourselves clearly people
does not daily perform the ritual Of
the tub Yet, the British Medical jour
nal points out. il is not so long ago since
we had the reputation of being an ex-
ceptionally dirty people. In the year
1900 there was not a single private
house In London provided with a 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 labortng
classes was washed all over was i'm
mediately after birth and after death.
Even at the present day our contem-
porary doubts II 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 n 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 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 it was believed that
washing the face with water made il
more susceptible to cold In winter and
to tan In summer. The story OF Lady
Mary Wortley MOntagu'S hands is toe
well known TO be repeated. Johnson
said he had no passion for clean linen
and even the fine gentlemen of bis day
were far from scrupulously clean IL
their persons.-WestIuins Gazette.

MILLION WORTH OF AUTOS.
The total attendance at the fair was
in the neighborhood of $4,000, which
is a marker This is six times the
total population of the city of Aledo
and more than half the total popula-
ton Of Mercer county. People came
from a larger area than ever before,
many travelling 40 or 80 miles by auto
or rail. Automobiles were parked in
an adjoining field, 500 machines, rep
resenting over half a million dollars,
being gathered together on a 1O-acre
lot In addition there we're at least as
many more elsewhere about the
grounds and in Aledo. That there were
81, ZOO, 600 worth of automobiles at the
fair during the day is a conservative
estimate.
A notable feature was the good or
der that was kept and the complete,
systematic methods followed in hand
ling the crowd and providing for its
wants There was no confusion, no
disorder, and no accidents worth men
tioning, and more TO the point there
were no vexatious delays and no ex-
orbitant charges.

About the first thing that you see
is a west side player and a visiting
player over on the side lines shaking
hands and visiting.
THAT should not be possible. The
thousands in the stands are partisan
They feel that there is a lot of rival
~ between the players on the various
teams and they don't care and do not
want 10 see this hand shaking and
the visiting.
A few minutes before game time
the umDires stroll out and they think
it is necessary for them to visit
a while. Then the captains come up
and turn in the lineup and there is
more visiting. Then, after a while,
the home team goes to the field

REAL ESTATE TRANSFER.

Brief mention was made in the issue
of last week that Frank l.. Smith had
sold his ranch, located on the hill side
a few miles east of Oroville Mr..
Smith was in town Saturday and con-
firmed the report. The purchaser is
B. J. Cutler, of the contracting firm of
Jordan & Cutler. A portion of the pur-
chase price was in the nature of in
come property in Spokane, and the
consideration was based on a valua-
tion of $4,000 Mr.. Smith is one of the
old time residents of the north part of
the county. He is pharmacist by pro-
fession, and was for long time en-
gagged in the drug business. Some
years ago he discarded the mortar and
pestle, filed on homestead and turned
his attention to pushing the plow. He
wisely set out an orchard, among his
other improvements, when he took up
land, and the Smith hill ranch today
is one of the most desirable places in
this part OF the county. Mr.. Smith
will leave for California in a short
time and spend the winter at Los An
geles. His intention is to return to
the Okanogan country in the spring
Mr.. Cutler, the purchaser of the Smith
ranch, and who is now in possession,
has spent his life showing a plane and
knocking nails, and knows no more
about farming than mud hen. but he
has the necessary energy, has taken
up the work with enthusiasm and
good property will be none the worse
under his management. He escapes
the hardships of making farm out of
the raw material, which is an advan-
tage he holds over the original owner.
