SATURDAY BATHING.
A Custom the occident Borrowed From

the Orient.
Most barbarians, judged by modern
standards, were anything but clearly
in their personal habits. In England.
France and Germany bathing was an
almost unknown custom until after
the Crusades. The pilgrims from the
east brought home with them ideas of
the bath as help in the treatment of
disease, and bathrooms We're 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,
Establishments. although it was not until
the seventeenth century that the Turk
iSh bath was introduced, and not until
the eighteenth century that sea hath

Indians, was tried experimentally.
Saturday was chosen as bathing time
and the reason is not difficult to i'm
agine. On Sunday everybody was com

east bathed before entering the mosque

was even distribution of bath money
to the children whose parents were
unable to pay for their baths.-New

There are so many ways of giving
signs that they can be switched for

possible for any IN to read and tip

to a certain signal. If the signals are
changed for the mex batsman the tip
per Is at sea again and is likely to
suit in getting said batsman's block
knocked off.
The usual way is for the catcher to
indicate his signs by his fingers con-
cealed by his big mitt. 1t is also done
by showing/the teeth or shutting the
eyes. Sometimes a catcher will use
two signs. but one of them will be
ph0ny. The runner or coacher cannot
tell which is the phony with any degree
of accuracy.
The surest way to prevent signal tip
ping is the oldest method ever used
In the am and the most effective. II
h pitcher will take his position on the
slab and pause while the catcher takes
a look around he will give the back

prosper that what is known, in his

far n wide. killing every white per-

blankets. until 1t was possible>fo for them

This happens most frequently when

there is only a runner on third the
pitcher generally will take his regular
