LIARS HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM
That II Was Before the Days of

In the days Of Queen Elizabeth Of

Drag" in which the victory went to
the competitor who was adjudged by
the audience to have emulated most
successfully the example OF Ananias
Of dubious memory. 1t may, per-
that the popularity of this form OF
amusement was due to the fact that
The art of novel-writing was unknown
in those days. Writing in 1880, an old
author says, Lying with us is so
loved and allowed that there are many
tymes earnings and prizes therefor,
purposely to encourage one TO outlye
another" The custom persisted until
more recent times, and as late as the
eighteenth century liars clubs were
a common feature OF London life One
OF the best-known of these clubs met
for many years at an old hostelry,
now vanished, known as the Bell
Tavern, Westminster, and the most
important of the rules of this contra
ternlty of liars ran as follows

Keep Bath Water Hot.

The usual objection to hot baths Is
that the bather takes cold unless he
goes straight to bed as soon as he
has dried himself. Otherwise, so they
say, he goes on perspiring and takes
a chill Now this is due not 10 hav
ing had a hot bath, but because the
water was not hot enough when the
bather got out of It. Hot water has
the same effect as cold in bracing up
the sweat pores and preventing them
from continuing TO pour out unneces
sary Precipitation. Lukewarm water,
on the other hand, leaves the skin lax
and moist, and II is then that people
are liable to chills The best tempera
mre at which to take a hot bath is 700
degrees Fahrenheit, or just below
that. If more water is added after
ward il should be hot. not cold so as
to maintain the temperature at tho
same level. With the aid Of these
precautions ii will be found that dry
ing is simple process, and the skin
IS left in a delightful state without
any undue perspiration TO follow.

They looked as If they had all been

There were gadwall and spotbill

the description of all the ducks All
had been swallowed head foremost.
The python, when stretched out and
roughly measured. was fully eight
feet long Is not this an unusually
heavy meal for a python TO make?

NEW animal HOSPITAL
S. P. C. A. Preparing to Build
Home in Brooklyn.

In carrying out its recently adopted pol
lev of expansion the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals is prepar-
ing TO build it's own headquarters in
Rrooklyn after the design Of the head
quarters recently opened at Avenue \
nd 2ith street Manhattan. The building
in Manhattan includes Offices Sara5e'
repair shop. hospital for animals etc.
This IS said to be the first hospital Tor an
imsls opened by society of the sort In
America. perhaps in the world. Hereto
fore such hospitals have been opened by
organizations formed especially for tho
object.
The headquarters in BROOKLYN will be on
Z less elaborate scale. but the entire plan
will be carried out here just as IL has
been in Manhattan, after time The so
ciety has purchased A plot OF ground 10
feet wide and 100 feet long in Butler
street. opposite the end OF the Gowanus
Canal. On the property one story buiid-
ing will be put up as shelter Tor stnaH
animals At present the society rents
premises at No. IL Lawrence street, but
the quarters have become unsatisfactory.
The site Of the new quarters is in neigh
borhood where there is small likelihood
that homes will ever be built. Across the
street the city occupies large plot OF
ground as a tool yard, and not far away
are big gas tanks.
The neighborhood was picked out on ac-
count of its character, as 1t was not de-
sired to place the shelter in vicinity that
would object to fits presence The shelter
will be so constructed that It can he util-
lied I'm the completed building hereafter.
The land and the proposed building VIII
represent an outlay Of more than s3oep,
but considerably more money will be re-
duired TO carry out the entire scheme or
the society. Several years will probably
elapse before the rest Of the building rs
nut UP. Last week, the contract for the
building was let and. II all goes well, II
will be ready for use about May 1.
.'AIl the features which make for clean
Illness, sanitation and the comfort ana
happiness of animals will be carried out
I'm the new shelter" said w. X. Horton
general manager of the society, yesterday.
THE shelter will be built on the western
half of the property in Butler street. and
later we will erect building two stories
high for an ambulance house and garage
and the executive offices, which are now
located AT No. ia Lawrence street. After
that we expect TO erect there free DIS
pensary and hospital for horses and all
sorts of animals
