First Military Band.

Military bands first came into exist ence about 1885. in the reign of Charles II. That monarch had partiality for music. Anyhow, it was he who by q royal warrant which he issued in that year authorized the employment of twelve musicians in 'the company of the kings regiment of foot guards in London" Furthermore. in order to se- cure higher pay for the musicians than was granted to the other TOmmies of that day the merry monarch very "hon, estly" directed that fictitious nshe should be borne on the strength of each of the other campaniesof the reg iment quartered in the country" The money received for the payment of these Tommies who did not exist was then divided among the bandsmen. 8 simple if not very straightforward ar engagement certainly.-London Globe.

 STORAGE HOUSES CAN'T
 KEEP LIQUOR ON HAND

SEATTLE, Jan. fudge Ben Shocks, in the superior court yester- day decided that a storage company may neither receive nor store more than the legal amount of liquor. Judge Sheek fined the Eyres Storage
 & Distributing Company $5 for hav- ing more than the legal amount of liquor in it's possession. Several dray-
 loads of liquor were seized in tho Eyres warehouse May Il last, after search warrants had been issued
 from a justice court. The storage company alleged that the liquor be-
 longed to various drug companies.
 Judge Sheek held that to permit the storage company to receive, hold and deliver liquor to drug stores would in
 effect make the storage company a
 distributing agency for the distillery.

 Before taking bath iD a public bathhouse at the word of command from the bath master all bathers take long deal boards in hand and together stir up the water in the large tub for about an hour to cool It down to bear. able temperature.
 Then they kneel In rows along the edge of the tub and each pours 100 to 200 dipperfuls of hot water over his head to prevent congestion on entering the water.
 At the second command they all go in. very slowly and carefully. The temperature of the water is 5O degrees c. 122 degrees F), and a bath is not to exceed three minutes.
 The bath master calls out at intervals Gin Japanese, of course), 1.-Two minutes remain" "Only one minute" Put up with It a bit" Perseverance is neces- sary." and finally, "Now, then. get out" Confusion ensues, all leaping out with great alacrity, being eager to es- cape from the ordeal they have been undergoing.
 A similar process is gone through by each of the rows of bathers who stand along the side of the tub waiting for their turn.-Exchange
