tHe pain as neIp IN the treatment OF
disease. and bathrooms were gradually
introduced into the hospitals. From
the hospitals the ideas of bathing
spread generally. People who had
been treated there saw the value of
keeping the body clean in order to re-
sist disease. The great plague that
swept over Europe in the early years
of the fourteenth century helped to
teach this lesson.
By the fifteenth century there was
scarcely large city that did not pos
sess well patronized public bathing es-
adjustments. although it was not until
the seventeenth century that the Turk
ish bath was introduced, and not until
the eighteenth century that sea bath

Indians, was tried experimentally.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Stock Letter.

New York, Sept "a weak tone
prevailed at the opening, but in the
afternoon a fair crop report finally
made its appearance, there was some
thing of a rally, possibly covering on
the bad news, because goodness knows,
there is nothing bullish about that
report There was a little covering
of shorts in New York Central, after
the amount of the declaration of the
regular dividend; and the petroleum
stocks gave a good account of them
selves.
London was said to be Influenced
by pessimistic estimates regarding
the corn crop figures, and arbitrage
brokers sold here during the early
trading. The street looks forward
with interest now to the steel figures
the market continue to indicate a
scarcity of stocks; and as the invest
ment situation, as indicated by the
bond market is undoubtedly better, we
are inclined to believe all the money
in the market lies with the optimistic

Aftermath Of Heat Wave.

Chicago, Sept s.-We are getting
further reports of confirmation on the
serious damage to corn by the last
hot wave.
In our opinion the government re-
port will be more optimistic than the
real conditions; trade hesitating on
the possibilities of rain.
No matter how much rain we can
get from now on, it will not add bush
Ell to the crop.
We fail to see where corn is dear at
this price, with the conditions, and
continue to advise purchases.
Possibility of rain in the winter
wheat belt has put the Spectator in
q hesitating mood.
We are willing to disregard this
feature as of minor importance, feel
ing confident that the world will re
alize the strength of our position.
A large Duluth exporter informs us
that the three states will have little
wheat for sale; the domestic milling
surplus.
Oats receipts will make favorable
showing for the holder as compared
with former years.
We think the unwillingness of farm
ers to sell at present prices will prove
the market factor
On provisions, we prefer the purchas
ing side, as it will take three or fou
years to recover the worlds cattle
/ shortage.

A SARTORIAL NIGHTMARE.
The college Toga" Spocted by Hsr-
ward Students In 1886.

Inc NoieSe io9a' Spoc1eo by f7aF-
ward Students In 1886.
The old time college toga" worn by
the Harvard students back in 1886 was
an amusing sartorial creation. or may
be it would more properly be CLASH
fed as the result of the dressmaker's
art OF course, no one now living
remembers it, but the ancient "toga"
is described in the annals OF the col
lege, and the present oxford cap and
gown are very simple and sober things
in comparison.
AS described by a writer whoss
curiosity had been aroused by stories
concerning the gay festive college
toga," even the togas worn by the old
Roman senators were negligible guam
titles. In 1886, when Harvard cele-
brated her two hundredth anniversary,
this fanciful summer garment was
much in vogue, and for at least two
seasons it was in high fashion with the
undergraduates.
1t was made of gingham and of a
color and pattern to suit the taste of
the wearer. 1t was loose fitting gar
ment reaching to the knees. was gath
cred at the neck and also at the waist
behind. 1t had a turned over collar. a
small cape rounded in front and belt
of the material of the dress. The
sleeves were either hooked or buttoned
at the wrist. 1t was trimmed with a
long tasseled white fringe. The accom-
paniments of this dress were a low
crowned, broad brimmed straw bat,
secured by a broad ribbon under the
chin; trousers and silk or thread gloves
of a color in harmony with that of the
toga, and usually a heavy cane.
1t is not known to whom the distinc-
ton belongs of having first conceived
the college toga." Like Jupiter, it
came into being complete in its match
less grace and adornments. 1t was
probably due to the creative genius
and skillful fingers of 'Ma'am" Dana,
the college tailoress of that day. who
was probably the sole manufacturer
of the strange garment

Deep and Shallow Diamonds.

In buying a diamond see to it that
your stone is neither too deep nor too
shallow. If it be too deep the table"
at the top Of the stone will have dead
look instead of showing as much color
and light as at the edge, where the
diamond is cut thin to receive the
light. You are simply paying for ex-
ira weight that adds nothing to. but
rather detracts from the appearance Of
the gem. The shallow stone. on the
