The Refreshing and Invigorating Salt
Path at Home. —
If }*ou cannot have the ocean, be
content with the bathtub.
Try a warm salt bath at home,
say after you have come from a
hot shopping expedition or
from traveling in the train or any
. time when you feel the need of
freshening up a bit. Away from
the seashore a very simple substi
tute for sea water is a cup of rock
salt dissolved in warm water and
added to the bath, When the salt
irritates the skin, take a warm bath
and sponge off with a mixture of
violet or lavender water and alcohol,
about half and half, and rub brisk
ly with a friction towel. Such a
method prevents the exhaustion and
dangers of cold which follow a warm
bath.
Sea salt is sold'in the shops.
It comes in bags of about ten
pounds, which cost ten cents each. .
Boxes of perfumed bath salt hold
ing about two and a half pounds
each are 15 cents. This can be used
in cold, tepid or warm water. It is
perfumed with lavender and, it is
- said, will impart a fragrant odor
to the water which is retained after
using. -
Among the tonic qualities as
cribed to it are "that it strengthens
the nerves > renews vitality, purifies
the blood and renders the skin
smooth and transparent.”
A more expensive perfumed bath
salt comes put up in bottles at 2o
cents. This is said to combine the
tonic properties of sea salt with the
odor of woodland violets. Two or
three tablespoonfuls of the salt are
sprinkled in the bath. When the
salt dissolves, the bath will have
much of the invigorating properties
of a salt water plunge. A few grains
of the salt thrown into the basin
impart a delightful fragrance.
The "Biscuit” Quilt,
"Biscuit” quilts are hardly new,
but they seem to have come into fa
vor again and are treated as the
most recent revival of the silk patch-
work quilt. To make one cut pieces
of muslin for lining three inches
square and silk patches four inches
square. Make a loose "biscuit” of
cotton batting, attach it to the mus
lin and fasten the silk patch over
this, making a small plait at each
side. The result is a puffed square.
The "biscuits” are sewed closely to
gether, so that none of the muslin
shows, and it is well to join them in
sections about two feet square for
convenience in handling. By ar
ranging the colors carefully in these
squares and then joining them with
regard for harmony.a good effect is
secured. When all the sections are
joined, the quilt must be lined and
bound. Sofa pillpws are made of
this "biscuit” design.
A Piano Cover. ,
Covers of oriental weave come for
the backs of upright pianos, 4mt
they are by no means inexpensive.
An experimenting housekeeper who
wished but could not afford one of
these bought as a substitute and at
much less cost one Japanese por
tiere. This was too long and too
narrow, but a piece taken from the'
bottom was fitted at the side, and a
second piece was added at the top
to go over the lid of the piano. A
pattern in shades of gold in a striped
effect was chosen, which lent itself
readily to the piecing scheme, and
the new cover is extremely effective.
A Novel Tea Table.
A curious tea cabinet has lately
been invented by a designer which
contains two deep drawers fin which
the tea things eouid be stored away
whenfnot in use. \Two mottoes are
inlaid in wood /at either side—
"There’s many a slip ’twixt the cup
and the lip” and "You can’t eat
your cake and have it.” A bacheloi
host would find this table useful for
keeping teacups in, but a hostess
would probably utilize the drawers
for biscuits and cakes.

NO PETRIFIED SONGS THERE.
Bepresentative Lacey, who is
chairman of the committee on pub
lic lands, was recently urging the
passage of his hill to make a nation
al park of the petrified forest in
Arizona and telling the house that
this tract was one of the wonders
.of the world - when Bepresentative
Bobinson interrupted him.
"May I ask,” said the Indiana
representative, "if this is a forest
where petrified birds sing petrified
songs as they perch on the petrified
branches of the petrified trees, the
one where the petrified fish are
swimming, in petrified streams;
where the petrified buffalo is seen
suspended in the petrified atmos
phere, having trifed to jump across
the canyon and having been petri
fied in transit and still hangs there
because the force of gravitation is
petrified too ?”
"Oh, no,” replied Mr. Lacey; "that
is in the Yellowstone. There are no
petrified songs in this forest; a v ll the
songs are up to date.”-—Washington
Times.
Kaffir English.
The historic Babu will have to
look to his laurels now that the
"educated Kaffir” has entered the
field, says the London Speaker.
The following is the text of a letter
sent by a government emplo}’ee who
had been officially rebuked for his
intemperate habits:
"Having promulgated by conduct
of drinking presumptuously, I beg
to tell me nominally the person in
formed you. r Consulted by specula
tions, the case should be reprimand
ed for the derogation of my name.
When you addressed your inspec
tion, I perceived dishonest intermed
dling; otherwise I am not a contro
versial acumen. Bemember you are
forced to tell me. The matter is
not to be approbated clandestinely,
because it was proclaimed publicly.
Quickness of the answer ' will so
oblige yours truly.”

College Genealogy.
Hr. William Everett at the Wil
liams college commencement gave
the genealogy of American colleges.
He said that Williams was a grand
daughter of -Harvard. The first
president of Williams was a gradu
ate of Yale, the first four presidents
of Yale were graduates of Harvard,
the first two presidents of Harvard
were graduates of Cambridge uni
versity, Cambridge was descended
from Oxford and Oxford from Par
is, that from Antioch, Antioch from
Alexandria and Alexandria from
Athens by way of the disciples of
Aristotle. Williams was sixty-nine
generations of men away from Soc
rates, but only nine generations of
institutions of learning.
* The Oldest Ship.
What is stated to be the oldest
ship in the world has recently been
sold at Tenerife to be broken up.
This is tfie Italian ship Anita, reg
istered at the port of Genoa. The
Anita, which resembled Christopher
Columbus’ ship, the Santa Maria,
was built in Genoa in 1548 and ef
fected her last Vovage at the end of
March, 1902, from Naples to Tene
rife six or-seven weeks ago. The
Anita was of tremendously stout
build and had weathered countless
storms and tornadoes in all parts of
the world; but, says the Shipping
World of London, it was also the
slowest ship afloat, taking 205 days
on one voyage from Baltimore to
Bio Janeiro.

nent authority for the proposition
that it is the most scientific of' all
the methods of administering cap
ital punishment. That it excites
horror, ^however, is indicated by the
fact thjp in the latest executions a
convict murderer acted as execu
tioner, as no other person could be
obtained to perform the duty. At
the garroting last year this same
convict acted as executioner, for
which service his term of imprison
ment was commuted. He will now
be set at liberty and will receive
$100 for his work.
Bamboo Lighthouses*
The French consul at Batavia
states that lighthouses are built of
bamboo cane in Japan and suggests
the importance of the wood in erect
ing builders’ scaffolding. The pow
er of-^*esistance of a bamboo cane
measuring eight inches to ten inches
in diameter, even with a length of
sixty-five feet, is enormous. More
over, bamboo is said not to rot ei
ther when in the ground or in water,
while the drier and older it grows
the firmer it becomes.

Trick With a Coin.
Place a piece of money on a shal
low plate, pour some water over it
and then ask some one to take away
the coin without wetting his fin
gers. As the coin is covered with
water, he will naturally reply that
he cannot do so.
To show him that it can he done

paper inside of it. The instant the
paper is burned place the glass, still
upside down, on the plate. As a re

The plate will then he dry, and
the coin can be removed without

communing With Nature.
A man went out into the woods
With nature to commune:
He longed to gather fragrant flow’rs;
To hear the zephyrs croon.
He saw a bulbous looking thing -
That grew above his head.
"Ah. here is .some new kind of fruit!**
Unto himself he said.
Alas, it was a hornets’ nest!
He pulled it off; not soon.
Again will this man venture forth
With nature to commune.

Russell Sage's Epigram.
“The chief responsibility of the
man of wealth is in using hismon—
ey for purposes that will do the
greater good to the greatest num
ber of people. ”
“It is observable that the very
rich men of today are far more
democratic than ever before in the
history of the world. v
“There may come a time when
the state will put a limit upon a
man’s fortune.”
“To put a premium on brains
and honesty is the only way to lev
el things up.”
“Any restriction of the rights
of capital would work incalculable
injury to the woorkiiigtBan.’ ?
“The people know that up to
present time the great capitalists
have been only c'aptaine of indus-
try.” '
“Concentration of wealth ... is
cirtainly good for the Americans.’’
“I fail to see the dangers arising
from wealth that the demagogue
makes such a True and cry about.”
“It is to the 'concentration of
capital and the concentration of
labor, which amounts to the same,
that our commercial supremacy
throughout the world will be due.”
“No man has a right to wealth
who has not a sense of the respon-
sibibstv that goes with it:”—St.
