vAPoR BATHS IN IRkUTsk

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Each house in Irkutsk has vapor bath apart from the main building.
 Stones are piled and heated in a fire and water is poured on them. so that when the door is closed the steam fills the bathroom proper, which is shut off by a board partition.
 The bathers. sitting on benches, steam their naked bodies both to cleanse them selves and relieve fatigue. They use a brush made of small cherry branches with leaves to strike themselves with for cleansing. and pour cold water from a small pail on their faces when the heat is too gr at. There is hot and cold water as in e Japanese bath. From time to time u " wash themselves and return again 10 the van

Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals 100000

Expressing his strong belief in mill
try education, General Rush C. Haw-
kins, organizer of the famous Hawkins
Zouaves in the Civil War, bequeathed
the residue Of his large estate to Nor
wich University at Northfield, Vt. Gen
eral Hawkins died October 25 at the
age Of eighty-nine, his death resulting
from injuries he suffered when he was
knocked down by an automobile. IN
his will, filed yesterday in the Surro-
gates Court, the Civil War hero also
makes specific public bequests of more
than 100000.
Of his bequest to Norwich Univers-
ity General Hawkins said he made it
because he believed "above ali else in
military education, it's tendencies be-
ing to develop self-respecting, real
men, who arc more likely than others
to be faithful in all relations, which
should adorn decent society. ! am
wich graduates in the field and at sea
whenever they have been called upon
to serve their country"
To the Actors Fund of America, Cen
eral Hawkins bequeathed $500 900. The
testator referred to this institution as
the home 'now occupied by aged and
dependant members Of the dramatic
profession, who have worn themselves
out in the service of the public"
General Hawkins added: "This gift,
at most, is an inadequate expression Of
my sincere affection for the actors and
actresses | have known and of my
gratitude of the many thousands Of
pleasurable hours their professional
efforts have contributed to my happiness
and instruction." General Hawkins
left 100000 to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Of
which he had been director, with the
instruction that the income of this be-
quest be used "to abate the wicked
horrors of vivisection and to compel
hose who practice it to make known
to the public the actual methods Of
their unspeakable calling"
