Using Sand for . Towel.
From the Christian Herald.

It has already been indicated that
the great desideratum OF the Navajo
country is water. A perennial water
famine is not conducive to habits of
bodily cleanliness, and q real bath in
real water Is something of which the
Navajo knows nothing.
Nevertheless. these Bedouins Of tho
southwest realize that q thorough
cleansing Of the body IL necessary, and
have invented a method of accomplish
Ing that end that Is we'll adapted to
the land Of thirst in which they dwell.
This Is tho sweat bath.
A miniature hogan 10 built Of sticks
Of wood and banked up with earth
until 1T is alright, with the exception
OF an opening large enough to admit
the body. A fire ia built outside. in
which large stones are heated red hot.
Then these are placed in the sweat
"bather' will be unlikely to come in
contact with them. Then the candi-
date for q bath crawls in, keeping his
head In b open air. One or moro
heavy blankets are placed over the
opening and tightly around the neck
Of the occupant OF the sweat house, to
prevent h escape OF the heated air.
The Indians remain in the sweat house
for several hours, perspiring with in
credible freedom. When they emerge.
they dry themselves by rubbing with
the hot sand Of the desert. As a
cleansing agent, the sweat bath would
be hard to beat. although It is a
bath OF civilization. Nevertheless, it
opens the pores Of the skin. promotes
circulation. n has much to recon-
mend 1t In preference to the practice
OF the members Of some other tribes.
OF eve taking a bath at all.

A Monumsnt 70 kesciusko.
From the Duluth Herald.

A handsome monument to the memor
OF kosciusko. one OF the brightest and
fairest OF III young lovers Of liberty from
other lands who a splendid aid to the
STRUGGLING colonies in the war of indie
p~endence. has been unveiled at West
Point: and the act is one upon which
every American citizen may take pride.
1t IL a sadly tragic thing that this re.
public should have gained such q splen.
did victory by the aid of patriots from Pc.
land like Kosciusko and Pulaski. and that
the fair land that gave them birth should
nave been 80 unfortunate In all it's strug-
giles for liberty.
There Is no more li~berty-loving a peo-
Pile on earth than the Poles: yet even to
this day, after a glorious history, their
land lies divided and oppressed by foreign
m~onarchies.
Led solely by his love OF liberty. Kos.
ciusko came to this country at the very
beginning of the war. and he rendered
brilliant and legal service to the cause Of
the patriots ever to the end. He was
made colonel! Of engineers in October,
1776. was adjutanr to General Washington.

for the preceding five years? A.
$12.0OO,O0 in the latter period, CON-
pared to $5,0 O0,O 600 in the preceding
period.
Q. Was your net corporate in-
come in 1913 greater or less h the
average for either one of these
five-year periods? A. 1t was great
a-
He was equally rude in his handling Of
Vice President Shriver of the Baltimore a
Ohio:
Q. 1 ask you If, during the five
year period ending 1913, the rail-
roads do not show a greater pros
perity than in the five-year period
ending 1908? A. They do.
q. And you admit that the year
1913 shows a better average than
any other year, except 1910-better
than the average of either OF the
TWO f1Ve-year periods? A. Yes.
And the -presumptuous Iowan forced
President Rea of the Pennsylvania to ad.
init that his compan in 1913 earned 9.6l
per cent upon its capital, after payment OF
all operating expenses. taxes and fixed
charges-a rate of interest that most peo-
pie would be mighty glad to receive on
any sort of investment. Mr.. Thorne want
ed to know how much higher the rate
ought to be, but President Rea declined to
answe He was forced to admit, how
ever, that the railroad should be allowed
to pay dividends not only upon capital, but
also upon the "unearned increment In
real estate, terminals and rights of way.
The well-informed Washington corre-
%spondents of the Chicago Tribune and the
Philadelphia North American agree that
the increased rates will be denied. III so.
the mar who will he more to blame, or
most to be congratulated, will be Clifford
Thorne, of Iowa. For it has been due
more thar anything else to his compre-
hensive knowledge of railways. and his
mastery cross-examination, that the case
of the railroads has crumbled.
