Bath { Japanese Institution.

From the very earliest days baths
and bathing have been known in
Japan And at a time in European his
tory when the Valois kings Of France
were requesting their courtiers to use
perfumes to counterfeit the lack Of
bathing, the Japanese, high and low,
we're reyeling in hot steam and warm
baths, which are still to be found in
every corner of the country.
In one of the earliest books, called
the "Wakun Shiori." the Detroit News
observes, it is stated that the "Yuva"
the "hot water house'-is a sacred
house, in the book called the "Teiioz-
aki" the phrase 30 yu dono' is used.
This also has double meaning
drinking water" or 'place for max
ing hot water" and from this latter
meaning there comes the use Of 1t to
denote "bathing place" But the word
90 VII dono" was really used by mis-
take to denote the place near the
kitchen where hot water was pre-
pared. All these books were written
before 1900 A. d.

ALL COMPETITION WAS A JOKE
Judge Had Another Think Coming il
He Thought He Could Do Away
With Chimney Sweeper.

A well-known judge in Ireland was
very fond of relating the following
story to his friends: 1t was at the
time of a general election and one day
when he was leaving the law courts,
Dublin, a sweep aCcosted him and ad-
dressed him with familiarity. BE off,

swered his lordship "Yis, We have, yer
'oner OF swept yer 'Oner's Chlmneys."
"Oh 1t was you, was it? I'll never en-
ploy you again." replied the judge.
you did the work badly and they've
smoked ever since. I'll never have you
again" "Oh, yes We will, yer 'oner,"
replied the man. And l tell you I
won't" angrlly answered his lord
ship. The sweep persisted that he
would be employed again, so the Judge
asked why, saying there We're plenty
of other sweeps in Ireland. Sure, yer

come Numbers OF parliament" was the
reply-Chicago American.

THE SLEEP WALKER"

The three stars of The Sleep
Walker" which comes to the Grand
theatre June % and 26 are Con-
stance Binney. star of the produc-
ton; Florence Roberts, famous old
time stage star in Tara "Sapho. -
and The Eternal Magdalene" and
Cleo Ridgely, star and co-star in
Paramount Pictures, who, after a
prolonged plunge into private life,
recently returned to the screen.
The story deals with the expert
ences of an innocent convent girl
suddenly drawn into a vortex of in
trigue, complicated in a thrillingly
dramatic manner by her own habit
of slaep-walking. The fact that it
was written by Aubrey Stauffer, a
former theatre owner and manager,
is offered as proof of its possession
Of audience quality. Wells HASTINGS
wrote the scenario while Edward lie

Infamous Tree Grows on Island.

For one Of its features Christmas
island, in the Indian ocean, may be
said to be infamous rather than ia
nous. a bulletin Of the National Geo
graphic society tells of tree, believed
not TO exist elsewhere, which is de-
scribed by one disguised visitor to the
island as emitting the most disagree
able odor in the world" With trunk
as sturdy as an oak, and leaves as
graceful as those of an aspen, it gives
to the eye no indication of its true
character. But its scent permeates the
air for hundreds Of feet in every di-
rectiOn, and II one is unfortunate
enough to so much as touch its bark
or leaves, nothing short Of repeated
scrubblng with strong carbOlic soap
will make him again fit for human So
ciety.
The island Is a British possession,
having been annexed in 1888 after the
discovery Of rich fertilizer deposits.

the story of two men, one who did
not know and sowed his wild oats
and is now paying the penalty; and
the other who had the idea of the
average man. and felt that it was a

can not marry the sweetheart OF his
childhood days on account of being
infected with a venereal disease.
Ezra, his boyhood chum, who has
Just enlisted in the navy, calls on
him and wants to see the town and
have his last fling before he enters
the navy. He tells Bruce that he
wants to SOW some wild oats and
take in the Gay White Way that he
had heard so much about.
How Bruce saves his chum from
the risk and is at last cured himself

"A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN
KING ARTHUR'S COURT

The William Fox special produc-
ton of Mark Twain's "A Connect
cut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre June 81 and %, deserves to
rank with the best picturizations of
famous literary classics which Mr.
Fox has given to the public.
"A Connecticut Yankee is pure
" American classic. 1t has been
translated faithfully to the screen,
and all the rollicking humor OF the
book is heightened by the visual ap-
peal
Mark Twain was not humorist
alone; in each of his books, even
the funniest, he pleaded a cause. In
"a Connecticut Yankee" he argues
for the modern way of doing things,
and proves that we are lucky to be
living today and not in the days of
old when knights were bold.
Martin Cavendish, the Yankee
young, shrewd, up-to-date, finds
himself suddenly back in the Mid
die Ages, among King Arthur
Knights of the Round Table. His
adventures there are made to play
a part in Martins own modern love
romance.
There Is hardly a moment with
out a laugh Thanks to Emmett j
Flynn, the director, the settings are
superb-notably the scene of th'
tournament, wherein Martin, dress
ed as a cowboy and armed with
revolver and lariat. routs all of KIM
lArthur's knights.

Drapery fabrics will be considered

curtains. upholstery. etc.
OF all the great number of available
stuffs. probably the most generally used.
most widely known and most adaptable
for the greatest number of uses are the
printed cottons or cretonnes. 1t is be-
cause of their wide range of coloring
and design. of price and weave.' that
they lend themselves so well to so many
uses and are SO popular. Every year
they are more beautiful and artistic.
more varied and attractive.
The imported cretonnes, made princi-

the highest prices. que partly, of course,

derful hand-blocked materials. both OF

and (clearness of color that is lacking

Naturally. these hand-printed cretonnes
are much more expensive, but are well
worth the price where one can afford

manufacturers are producing a great
many very lovely figured cottons at
much less than the cost of the imported
ones.
There are many places where figured
materials cannot be used or are not de-
sired. and 1t is then that the home fur
nisher turns to that other big group,
the plain colored fabrics. which come
in many good colors. many weaves and
textures, from the very thin cotton
easement cloths and lightweight silks
to the heavy weight reps nd velours.
Probably OF all these the most gener-
ally popular are the mercerized poplins,
reps and cotton velvets, the cheaper
silks and artificial silks, since they re-
tail at a price within the reach Of the
greatest number Of people. The reps.
poplins and velvets are the most dura-

being suitable for upholstery as well as
