BATHS IN PARIS.
They Are Something In the Nature OF
a Public Function.

They Are Something In the Nature of
Public Function.
American tourists when they visit
Paris find unexpected difficulties in
gratifying their desire for a bath. Con
ditions are slowly changing for the bet
ter, however, and some of the hotels
have introduced bathrooms, an innova-
ton brought about mainly to satisfy
American demands A writer in the
New York Sun tells how the bath is
usually enjoyed;
Like most intimate affairs in France,
the bath partakes of the nature OF a
public function. There Is also a choice
in the matter The ambulance bath
was one franc fifty a bath, or you got
a season ticket for one franc twenty.
A man wheels a handcart, which car
ries a receptacle filed with hot wa
ter, surmounted by a tub, to your door.
He brings the tub on his head to your
room and returns with the hot water,
vo covered pailfuls at a time. He
den retires to the courtyard and waits

cheerful whistle floats up to the win
dow to the accompaniment of your
splashings as reminder that you
should not linger-which you are not
tempted to do in the cramped quarters
of French bathtub.
The foreign lady's bath Is sort of
gala day for the neighborhood. If fire.
quent, the event is discussed by the
neighbors across the way. Truly,
that costs dear; they are bien des mil
lionaires. ces danes Americainesr'
And the children flock to count the
pals as they are turned out. All OF
this Is well calculated to make the occa-
sion one of keen embarrassment for
the foreign lady.

Introduces Loan Bill.

Washington, Oct. 10 Repre-
sentative Frank Buchanan of Illi-
nois, a member of the labor group
has introduced a bill in the House
amending the act of June %, 1910,
an act to establish postal savings
repositories for depositing savings
with the government. The bill
contains an elaborate scheme
whereby the government is to re
ceive deposits from individuals and
and corporations. 1t is also con-
templated that there shall be Great
ed loan burean, under the super
vision of board of trustees, for
the purpose of making loans on
agric Iltural lands aud improve
ments, homes, and for other pur
poses. The annual rate of intesest
is placed at 3 per cent, and with a
time limit of twenty years. 1t is
further provided that counties,
cities, villages, townships, school
districts, or any other public taxing
body can borrow money from the
government for a construction oi
public works within prescribed
limit. One provision makes it pos
sible for those who desire TO pur-
chase homes to borrow a sum not
to exceed 80 per cent of the as
sessed valuation. The scheme OF
the bill is for the purpose of pro-
viding means for those who have
small means to secure a home at a
reasonable rate of interest on de-
ferred payments as we'll as afford
ing states and subdivisions thereof,
empowered 10 levy taxes, an op-
portunity to promote public works.

CROOKED BILLET INN.
London's Oldest Public House and lta
Romantic Interior.

London's Oldest Public House and lta
Romantic Interior.
The Crooked Billet, an inn which
stands upon Tower hill, boasts itself,
says the London Graphic, as the Oldest
public house in London How far back
its history goes it would be impossible
to say. The records are wanting, but
there is every reason to believe that
the inn dates from the time of Henry
VIII. Certainly no London inn is more
romantic in the matter of sliding pam
els and concealed doors, secret rooms
and underground passages-one of
these reputedly leads to the Tower
and thick walls richly carved.
In the principal reception room are
to be seen some magnificent oak pam
elings, a quantity carved freize above
the door and a no less richly carved
mantelpiece The ceiling is covered
with number of strange devices, with
a female head believed to represent
Queen Elizabeth-in the center The
windows looking out upon the street
are fastened with shutters clamped
with huge iron bars
There is tradition that Oliver Crom-
well once lived (or lodged) at the
Crooked Billet The place was known
in those days as the old house at the
bottom of the Minories."

BOATS GROW ON TREES.
West Indian Boys Can Get All of Them
They Want.

WEST inoian Boys Can Get All OF hem
They Want.
When West Indian boy wants q
toy boat all he has to do is to visit a
cocoanut tree. These trees bear great
lunches OF nuts among their dropping
green leaves. and when the bunch
first sprouts out in the form Of q big
bud 1t is inclosed within hard,
tough, woody case or spathe two or
three feet long, eight or ten inches
iii diameter and tapering to u point at
one end and to a slender stern at the
other. In fact, it looks very much
like huge wooden cigar
As the buds and flowers develop the
spathe splits open, and the flower
bunch continues to grow out beyond 1t
until the nuts begins to ripen. BY this
time the spathes have become dry and
hard and break off and drop to the
ground of their own accord.
1t is the spathes or bud coverings
that the West Indian boys use for toy
boats. and. while the dry and fallen
ones win answer, better boats are
made from the more flexible and part
" green spathes still clt1 eing to the
flower stem.
The spathe as gathered from the tree
is almost in the shape of boat, and
all that is necessary TO transform it to
a very seaworthy and fast sailing toy
canoe is to sew the open end together
and fit rudder sail and seats or
thwarts.
When this is done the boat is almost
an exact model Of the big dugout ca
noes that the boys fathers use III fish
ing. In fact, these dugouts were prob
ably copied from one of the tree grown
boats. = From "Harpers Book For
