FRAnKL!H'S COLD-AlR BATH
homeIy Philosopher Was One Of the
Earliest American Advocates of
the Open Window.

The cold bath In the morning is @
social fetch that makes two clear
divisions of mankind-the thoroughly
virtuous who do not shrink from the
full rigors and the LaOdiceans who
play with the hot water tap. AS a GUS
tom it may be peculiarly English, but
one hears less Of a variation Of 1t
that has respectable authority, says
the Manchester Guardian.
Benjamin Franklin, while represent
ing the American colonies in London,
wrote in one of his informing letters
to a French correspondent that the
"shock Of cold water hath always ap-
peared to me as too violent, and have
found it much more agreeable to my
constitution to battle in another ele-
ment-I mean cold air. With this
view rise early almost every morning
and sit in my chamber, without any
clothes on whatever, half an hour or
an hour, according to the season, either
reading or writing. The practice is not
in the least painful, but, on the con-
trary, agreeable, and if 1 return to
bed afterward, before 1 dress myself,
as it sometimes happens, l make q
supplement to my nights rest of one
or two hours of the most pleasing sleep
that can be imagined"
Franklin was siXty-two at the time.
He had still to live twenty-five of the
most active years Of his extraordinary
career, so that in his case cOld-air
baths seem to have done no harm.
Franklin was before his time in his
belief in fresh air, and he wrote some
savage things about the "aerophobia
that at present distresses weak minds
and makes them choose to be stihed
and poisoned rather than leave open
the window of q bedchamber or put
down the glass Of Il coach"

RAILROAD RATES

In the regulation of inter-
state commerce, the power and
right Of congress to control in
terstate railroad rates is more
clearly observable than the
federal supremacy in some 9th
er fields. Unless this right ex-
lists, the states might, and
doubtless would, unduly and
.unjustly discriminate against
interstate commerce.
And so the United States SUI
preme court holds that "com-
merce is a unit, with no state
lines"
The states may bewail the
disappearance of another por-
ton of their sovereignty, but in
no other way is it practicable
to secure uniformity of rates
for carrier in interstate COM
merce.

Old krook,

krook is the name of rather prom
inent but most uncanny character In
Dickens novel, BLEAK House." which
has much to do with the then dilatOry
procedure of the Court of Chancery.
The system Dickens describes ceased
to exist many years.
Krook is the proprietor of a rag and
bone warehouse, where everything
seems to be bought and nothing sold.
He is grasping drunkard, who even
tually dies of spontaneous combustion,
that is, he is so saturated with liquor
that he takes fire and is consumed.
In note to this chapter of BLEAK
House" Dickens cites case of spon-
taneous combustion that took place
In Paris, France, and which, he said,
was we'll verified by medical authority.
1t was probably from that case that
Dickens obtained the idea which he
made use of In describing Krook's Won
derful death.

FLOWER-P0T AS BRIDEGROOM
Unique Ceremony Which Transforms
Chinese Girl Into a FuIl-Fiedged
and Privileged Widow.

China is still land of strange GUS
toms, one of the most curious being
the ceremony of fower-pot mar
riage.
When the man whom a Chinese girl
is to marry dies shortly before the
date fixed for the wedding the grief
stricken bride-elect sometimes takes
Il vow never to marry. Should she
do SO, she goes through the ceremony
Of wedding an ordinary fOWer-pOt.
She is now considered q widow, and
upon the parents of her intended hus-
band falls the responsibility Of main
tanning her. Usually she goes to live
with them.
In many cases, especially where the
family is poor great sacrifices are nee
essary in order that the daughter-in-
law (as she is now regardeD may be
properly cared for. But the parents
have no option In the matter. And,
actually, they have no desire to shirk
their responsibilities, for the faithful
ness of the widow brings great
honor to the bridegrooms family, 1t
being considered quite a disgrace
should the bride-elect not wish to
go through the ceremony of marrying
the tlOwer-pot.
In the days before China was re-
public, the emperor, upon the facts
being brought to his notice, had a
handsome monument erected in com
memoratlon of the widows" faith

Purpose.

Ambition Is more than wish 1t Is
desire intensified into determined pur-
pose. All that is needed for the &C.
complishment of our ambitions is de-
sire so strong that we will sacrifice
whatever may stand in the way of our
success. The law Of compensation
never fails. If we would gain one
thing we must give up another. How
many people have you known who
complain Of failure through bad luck,
when your own knowledge Of them
tells you that their downfall came
through lack Of really trying? They
we're not willing to forego pleasures
or extravagances which interfered
with their success.

OUR FOREIGN
COMPETITORS

The steel trade in this count
ry has been hearing that Ger
man steel manufacturers are
about to enter the American
markets on a large scale, bring
ing cutthroat prices. And now
Hugo Stiffness steps out from
the atmosphere of rumOr and
announces that he has $4,000
tons of steel rails, ready on the
docks at Hamburg, which he is
offering for delivery in Ameri-
ca at lower than the American
prices.
To make 1000 tons of steel
rails in this country requires
the labor of 5000 men for one
day.
If Stiffness, instead of an A
merican steel mill, gets the or
der for $4,000 tons of rails, it
will mean that 5000 American
steel workmen will be idle for
Is days.
On larger or smaller scale,
thatsis the effect when any of
US buys abroad at a cheaper
price, something that could be
made in America.
Sharles NJ. Schwab, chair
man Of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, says an ounce of
gold today buys the labor of an
American workman for II
hours.
The same ounce of gold buys
so hours Of labor in England,
SO hours in Japan. 1T hours
in France, and 202 hours in
Germany.
The labor cost in manufact-
uring is, according to these
figures, II times as high in A
merica as in Germany.
This is largely due to the diff
ference in foreign exchange,
based on the gold standard of
money.

The foreign workmen, bar
red from America, have stayed

ton amounts to, cannot be esti-

Y. M. G. A. NOTES

The colored views on the CT
ty of New York shown after
noon and evening at the "Y"
were very interesting and in
structive. The afternoon, that
the little folks could come, was
we'll attended. The evening for
the grown-ups had a large at
tendance also. These views
were of the important parts
and buildings of the city. They
gave the audience some idea of
the magnitude and grandeur of
the various edifces erected for
worship, government, 'educat-
ion and industry: also the vari-
Gus means of conveyance for
the vast multitude who go to
and fro. Elevated, surface and
subways, being the means of
carrying the people. The parks
of New York so essential in
such a crowded city are very
beautiful and a wonderful
source of enjoyment for the
people.
On Good Friday" the "Pas-
sion Play" will be shown at the
Y M c A at 5 p m, for children
Ia and under and at 1880 p m
for those over ID and adults.
