us. The average farm boy has a course in an agricultural college aft CT he leaves the common schools, and there are also peoples high schools for the grown-ups.
 The peoples high schools are a spe- cial institution of Denmark. They are attended by the men in the win ter when the farm work is light, and during the summer by the wom- en and girls. The winter term is from November to May. Most of the pupils live in or near the schools and they may have rooms and board in the establishment at very low rates. About three -fourths of the students belong to the middle class farmers, and small holders of land Four-fifths of the students are from 19 to 20 years of age. but there is no age limit. A farmer can start in II any time and take a special course in almost any branch he chooses. There are more than a hundred of these high schools in Denmark. and in addition there are 19 agricultural schools and schools of domestic sci ence.
 Schools for Wives.
 There are also schools for wives or of household economies. These are attended largely by girls preparatory to or in anticipation of marriage. They teach everything connected with house keeping and the purchase of domestic supplies. They are, In fact. somewhat like the domestic science schools and colleges of the United States.

It has a commodious and well lighted kitchen in which at the time of my call 30 young Danish girls of from IS to 21 years of age were engaged in the preparation of dishes of one kind or another. Some of them had their sleeves rolled up above their elbows and the faces of others were rosy from hanging over the stoves. Three were cleaning fish. half dozen were peeling potatoes. and others with meticulous care were compromising the ingredients of sweet meats and cakes.
 One of the teachers took me through the house and showed me the rooms of the girls. Every one was exquisitely kept, and all were beautifully furnished without the knick hacks and crazy bric-a-brac affected by the American college girl. Indeed 1t seemed to me that a man must be very particular If he could not be satisfied with such house keeping. and when l think again of how the girls looked. with such sweet good house keeping wives.

THERMOPOLIS. wyo.. April 10.
In recent years mud baths have
become popular treatment for rheu-
matism and kindred diseases. but
are not a new thing at Thermopolis.
according to some OF the older citi-
zens and to evidence that has been
discovered here.
On the bank OF the Big Horn
river. opposite the mineral hot
springs, workmen removing clay
for the purpose of analysis to ascer-
tain whether or lot 1t was of the
kind required for use in the mud
bath house to be erScted by Doctor
A. G. Hamilton and associates,
came upon a long. conin-shaped
box made of logs and set in the
heart of a large deposit Of this
curative clay.
1t is a supposition that Indians.
years ago.. discovered the value of
this clay deposit and in a crude way
gave mud baths before the feet of
white men had trod upon the banks
OF historic Big Horn river.
Several citizens of Thermopolis.
now growing old, who were boys
and girls here with the pioneers
who came to settle this country,
remember the old wooden bath tub.
They recall that they used to wade
in 1t, barefooted. and after h mud
had dried. wash it of in the hot
springs that bubble up in the bed
OF the river. Then It was supposed
that Indians had used the crudely
constructed tub in some n

covered the value of the mud bath

modern mud bath house and an
other hot water plunge. In con
nection there will be n dozen small
apartment houses. completely fur

who wish to come with their
families to take the baths.
There is a story about the wooden
tub to the effect that just before
