How long have the English upper classes been so perfectly and continuously clean as the* today? Observe that it is the con¬ tinuity of the cleanliness that makes all tho difference. Tho skin of a Frenchman ia clean after he has taken his warm bath, bat ho does not take one every morning. Tho Englishman, unless his health is too delicate to bear it, sponges himaelf cA over every morning in his own dressing This custom began to be prevalent I amongst young men Fn England whoa was a boy. The .men of the preceding generation did exactly as Frenchmen do to-<lay; they took a warm bath occasion¬ ally for cleanliness, and they took shower baths when they were prescribed by the physician for health, and they bathed in summer seas for pleasure, but they did not wash themselves all over every morn¬ ing. I remember an old gentleman, oi good family and estate, arguing against this strange, new-fangled custom, and maintaining that it was quite unneces¬ times, sary to wash tlm skm in modern as the impurities were removed by linen. However, the new custom took deep root in England, because it became one of the signs of class. It was adopted as one of the habits of a gentleman, and afterward spread rather lower, though it is not yet by any means universal. It is chiefly upon this habit that the present English claim to superior cleanliness is founded. In former times the English were proud of using more water than the French for ordinary ablutions, and they pretended to believe that the French were unac¬ quainted with tho use of soap, because they did not provide public pieces of soap in the bed chambers of their hotels. The English have now- a clean upper class, but not yet a clean people, at least according to the evidence of physicians who write on health. The same physi¬ cians are still more severe on the con¬ cealed dirtiness of many people in the middle classes, a subject that is pleasanter not to dwell upon. The English upper classes are, by theii good example and by their habit of trav¬ eling, the great teachers of cleanliness in western Europe. Their baths, ewers, water basins and other complicated toilet arrangements are coppied very extensive¬ ly in Franco. If you visit a pot shep in a ■mall provincial town, find quite remote from the channel, you will English wash stand services of full size, or good Fwncb copies of them; and if you go to the iron monger’s you will find all kinds of haths for domestic In use, including English sponge baths. French houses, where the old, small ewers and basins are re¬ tained, they are now almost invariably ■upplemented by a capacious tin water jug on the floor. In fact, the French are becoming a cleaner people, an improve¬ ment in which the English have taken the load, being about forty yearn in ad¬ vance.— Philip Gilbert iiamerton in Tbs Atlantic _ _ 1 ho Maj flower ns a Slaver.

One of my companions, having mads a bargain with the smith, handed him three English florins which he desired to have manufactured into one bangle of the choicest East Indian design and workmanship. The coolie man heated tho coins, cut them into narrow pieces, of which ho -welded the ends together, using hammer and anvil, thus making a bar four or fivo inches long, and, as I remember, two or three lines in width and thickness. Covering one end of this strip of metal with damp clay, to protect his fingers from the heat, the bangle maker stuck the silver into the diminutive charcoal fire, which ho set aglow by blowing through a tube similar in appearance to a glass blower’s pipe, When the metal was at a dull red heat he l«at it soundly, forging it round and smooth carefully to the diameter of telegraph wire; then, lx-nding it in a circle, joined the two ends, welding them to¬ gether neatly and with dispatch. This done, and the joint having been covered •with a rough mass of hot silver fashioned Into a ball of tho size of a small cherry, tho Hindu held out tho half finished trinket for our inspection and approval, lie next smoothed and polished the sur¬ face of tho ball by hammering; then ho graved and stamped it with various dies, cutting simple, conventional patterns of irregular design. Next, having selected a small silver serpent from an assortment of ready made devices and charms which ho kept In a eocoanut shell, ho plunged it into the lire, and blew through his blowpipe until tho cobra became Wood red. Pinch¬ ing tho reptile’s tail between two bits of moist clay, the Hindu drew it from The fire, and, before it lost its angry hue, deftly corkscrewed the emblem of im¬ mortality around tho wire of the banglo in four completo coils, all the time tap¬ ping the snake hero and there gently with his mallet, in this way fastening it securely in its place. Plunging the orna- sient into a calabash of eocoanut oil, he waited till the serpent ceased hissing, and the Indian bracelet was then ready to bo clasped cn the wrist of whomso¬ ever gallant gentleman had in his mind when he found it in his heart to give the order for it.—William Agnew Paton. The Strength of Wood. In a paper on the strength of different kinds of wood for building purposes, Professor Johnson calls attention to tho fact, as now demonstrated, that many cheaper kinds of timber may prove more valuable for structures than more ex¬ pensive varieties, which have, been sup¬ posed to be stronger, and, therefore, more desirable. Thus, pine supports or pillars have been found stronger than oak ones, when tested in large samples. —New York Sun. Kind to Contributors.

The United States Government Chemists, in their examinations of articles of food offered for Government use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking powders upon the market are made from alum or phos¬ phates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulter¬ ants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of these deleterious ingredients, and absolutely pure. Alum is used as a substitute for cream of tartar to produce a cheap baking powder. The effect of alum upon the system has been ascertained to be poisonous, and over¬ doses have been attended with fatal results. The phosphate are next to the alum powders in cheapness. They contain a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a gift are of the alum or phosphate class. lame when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount of carbonic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found twelve per cent., or one*-eighth of the weight, of some of the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime. The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of other brands—arise from the exclusive, use of cream of tartar which is specially refined by patent processes that totally remove the lime and all other impurities. In his report, the United States Government Chemist says: 4 ‘‘The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have bo found it in many tests made for the United States Government. I will go still further and state that It is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.” CAR 1*0AD Fresh Melons To-day! J. H. Keith & Co.
