HUMAN CURIOS
Tho Original "NIrs. Partinston

Iho original "Mrs. harrington"
The original Mrs. Partington, whose
fame as a sort of female King Canute
has passed into history. was a very re-
spectacle old lady who lived at Sid
mouth. in Devonshire. England. Her
cottage was on the beach and during the
storm of November, 1894. when some
sixty ships were wrecked at Plymouth.
the sea rose to such height as to in
wade the lady's residence. At last. in
fact, almost every other wave dashed in
at the door.
Armed with brooms and mops, Mrs
Partington. with such help as she could
command. endeavored to sweep the
ocean out OF the house. But as fast n .
she mopped up one wave. another had
swept In and she was finally compelled
to retire to an upper story
Tho first allusion to tho circumsta ance
was made by Sidney Smith In his speech
on the reform bill. in which he COM
pared the conservative opposition to the
measure to "the work Of Dame Parting
ton and her mop" and the expressIon
has since come to be generally used as
meaning a person who attempts the i'm
possible.

3 SWIMMING BATHS TO
BE ERECTED IN PARIS

Paris, Dec. 21.-The Paris mu-
nicipal council has decided that
public swimming baths are not on
Iy a necessity but that they are
likely to prove a paying venture
and has asked the city architects
to prepare plans for three baths
to be erected I'M Paris within IL
months. The only swimming baths
in Paris, except for those moored
along the Seine banks, which, al
though popular in the summer
months, prove no attraction in the
winter.
The probable cost OF each estab-
lishment is estimated at 5000, 900
francs. Delegates from the mu-
nicipal council have been sent to
Alsace to inspect the baths there:
The Paris baths are to be modelled
after those Of Strasbourg.
