They fulfill the expecta- tions which they were built to realize. But the indiVidual hot water baths and the wsshhouse arrangements do not fulfill the expectations so far as concern popular use. People will go much farther for aswim than they will go towasl: their clothes, or to merely bathe their bodies. This, at least, wncu the mercury marks that figure the swimming ponds bring in weekly receipts of $640. In some cases there are swimming baths for women as well as for men, but in places where the double accommodation has not been provided certain hours are set apart for the use of the baths by either sex. The charge for admission to the swimming ponds is 4 cents for adults and 2 cents for persons under 13 years of age. Packages of tickets can be purchased at reduced rates. ‘ Swimming clubs may engage one of the big baths for $1.50 a night. ,If the club has more than forty members an additional charge of 2 cents is made for every person in excess of that number. In the summer; the water in the great baths is changed 1 daily ; in the winter once or twice a week. In each main building are little rooms sep- arately fitted with tubs for hot baths. The use of one of these baths can be had for 4 cents, or for 8 cents, according to the ac- commodation. ' The washhouses which are attached to the bathing buildings are worthy the atten- tion of all dwellers in cities, not merely because the accommodations are provided by the municipalityâ€"they could be equally , well provided by private enterpriseâ€"but because they show what has been done in the way of supplying a need which exists in all thickly populated places. A washing- house consists, first, of a large apartment divided by low iron partitions into a num- ber of “ stalls,” each stall being provided with a complete washing apparatus, set tubs, hot and cold water baths, scrubbing- boards, soap, etc. Each stall has a sliding rack which can be pushed into a steam drying closet extending the entire length of the room. The washhouse at Townhead is the largest of the lot, containing seventy- eight stalls. The smallest house, that at Gorbals, has fifty-eight. The washhouse facilities are placed at the disposal of the poor women of Glasgow at a charge of 4 cents an hour. Two hours is found to be the average time required by each patron of the place. wasunovsrs so'r SFFFICIENTLY NUMEROUS. Now, a notable fact in connection with the washhouse is that while the city pro- vides 316 “stalls,” there are only 3,000 1“ families who appear to take advantage of the accommodation. Each stall is used by nine or ten women in the course of a week. Twenty hours a Week, or less than three hours per day, is the average demand upon each stall. There must be a reason why the municipal apparatus is not more fre- quently used. And there is a reason. The city made the mistake of building fivc large establishments instead of a great number of snall ones. It is proved by experience that there are few women having a family’s washing to manage who are inclined to carry their loads more than a quarter of a mile from their dwellings and a quarter of a mile back again. This fact has led the enterprising men of Glasgow to project a system of small washhouses scattered sta throughout the city, perhaps one to each _n tenement block. The latter scheme, how- ever, has not yet passed the visionary stage, nor is it likely to do so for awhile. Another interesting fact is that the 3,0150 women who are known to use the places do so at least once a week. so that the yearly cost of the family washing is estimated at about $4. When we consider the facilities provided it is reasonable to suppose that the work is done better and cheaper than it could be performed by the aid of the primitive appliances available to the women in their owu homes. r l E i l r J 8 i: The five huge swimming tanks provided by the municipality accommodated in the last year 453,718 bathers. Very naturally, when the temperature of the outdoor air is high, the baths do their largest business. An outdoor temperiture of 70 degrees is considered a high one in Glasgow, and when the mercury marks that figure the swimming ponds bring in weekly receipts 0t 3640.

He is now engaged in constructing a larger bell than that already submerged, in order to meet the requirements of the government authorities. The apparatus is beautifully worked out and comparatively inexpensive. Moreover, it is sutfici ently sensnive to announce the passage of steamers a mile distant from the bell. Obviously, such an instrument might also be used for submar- ine signaling, for a. ship, by stopping and starting her propeller, could send a message 11 the Morse code, and the shore could re- ‘ ipond by flashing the electric lamp. In the Scaseof another ship the response might be made by her propeller. l ACTUAL OBSERVATION is not required, for the indicator itself gives the alarm. This takes place when the swing of the armature carries it within the attraction of a magnetic contact piece fixed near it. The armature is then drawn to the contact piece and held fast there. The swinging armature and the contact piece are connected in the circuit of local battery, and when they meet the current flows to ring an electric bell or light an electric lamp. The torpedo boat thus announces its own arrival on the scene in spite of itself, ‘ and precautions can be taken against it. The hydrophone is at present undergoing a practical trial in England, and Captain Mc- l Evoy, the inventor, estimates that three of the instruments suitably placed would be I sufficient to protect Portsmouth harbord u- _._ _ A“ 7 . . I connecting the submerged hell with the ' l indicator or second part of the hydrophone, : situated on shore or on board one of the ships of the fleet. The contact is formed by a flat horizontal spring fixed at one end and loaded at the other by a heavy piece of brass, having on its upper surface a small platinum stud. A fine platinum needle kept upriwht by a. vertical guide, rests its ilower end loosely on the platinum stud. ‘ The needle and the stud are connected in the electric circuit through the guide and 1 spring, and when the needle dances on the 1 stud the circuit is made and broken. An I electric current from the ship or shore bat- } tery is always flowing through the circuit 1 â€"that is to say, between the submerged. bell and the indicator. Now, the propeller; of a torpedo boat or of a. torpedo sets up; vibrations in the water, and these, reaching § the submerged bell, agitate the trembling! contact, so that the needle dances on the i stud and interrupts the current. The con- l ‘sequence is that the indicator begins to, work and announces the submarine distur- _ bance. This part of the hydrophone con-l sists essentially of an electro-magnet, l through which the current passes, with an 5 armature free to oscillate when the current 5 ‘ is rapidly made and brokenâ€"that is to say, when the current becomes intermittent. The motion of this amature can be seen by ' an olficrver, if he chooses to watch, but i l The nyclrophone. Which Registers the Movements of any Craft a Mile Distant. Experiments are now being conducted on the perfection of the hydrophone, which, according to the London Times,promises to be of great value in marine warfare. The principal object of this simple apparatus is to give warning to a. port or fleet of the ap- proach of a. torpedo boat, even if the latter is totally submerged and, therefore, in- visible. It consists essentially of two parts, one submerged in the sea, at a. proper distance from the port or fleet to be warned, and at a. depth sufficient to escape the sur- ‘ face agitation. This part may be described 3 as an iron bell jar, which, on being plunged mouth downward into the water, retains a. volume of air in the upper portion or bot- tom, where a. copper box, protecting the sensitive organ of the apparatus, is fixed. The organ in question is merely a. very deli- cate vibratory contact, which makes and breaks , Officials associated with the management of the places seem to think that buildings without swimming baths, and provided With thirty tubs for hot water bathing and sixty- three stalls for clothes washing, would av- erage in yearly earnings say $5,000 apiece, and that a. couple of hundred such estab- lishments might be made to pay their ex- penses if judiciously situated. In other ; words, the mistake heretofore made has ‘ been in attaching the hot baths and the washhouses to the swimming baths. The five establishments at present in operation pay more than their working expenses. but ; the city has to make up a slight annual l deficit of $10,000 to $15,000 to cover interest 1 charges, etc. This dehcit decreases every year, as the patronage of the establishments increases. i GIVES WARNIN'} T0 WAR SHIPS. is Glasgow’s experience, and it is practical- ly determined that no more large wash- honses and no more extensive ranges of individual bath cubs will be put up at the expense of the municipality. What iurther work is done in providing accom- m odation of this sort will take the shape of small establishments easily accessible. But whether the municipality will feel itself Justified in planting a large number of such houses around the town or in hiring exist- ing premises for the purpose, or whether property owners or public companies will ‘ see their way to take up the work. remains to be seen. The municipality has determin- ed nothing with relation to the subject. Still. what has been found is that the facilities created by the expenditure of $615,000 seem to be taken advantage of by comparatively small clusters of people, one might say small districts, when we consider that out of the whole population the only persons who use the facilities are 3,000 washers, 5,000 hot bathers and 5,000 swim- mers.

That evening he was at Farmer Gray’sat the appointed time and did his work cheer- fully and well.

I will need some new books and I don’t; like to ask mother for the money and I thought by working for you mornings and nights I coull make the money myself and it would not interfere with my school,” “ Why,” he said, “ I didn’t know you liked to work.” “Mr. Gray; I~ understood you wanted a. boy to help you with your work. Will you take me? ’ The farmer looked at him in astonish- meat, Suddenly straightening himself and throwing his head back he said aloud: “I’ll do it, as sure as my name is Robert Glace,” and going to the fence he sprang lightly over and took a. “short cut” across the fields to Farmer Gray’e, who, he had heard, wanted a. boy to help him with his feeding mornings and evenings. Arriving at the house he saw the old termer out in the barn- yard. Going u_p to _him he said : But 'he was now thoroughly awakened and those two littl words were burning themselves into his bram, and as he re- viewed his past three years his head bent lower. The lad was aroused and doing some hard thinking. His father, George Glace, a highly respected man of the neighborhood, had died about three years before, and Robert, an unusually bright, intelligent lad, had been left to the care of his mother, whose will being weaker than his, he was mainly left to his own devices, which consisted chiefly in amusing himself. He left school and spent the greater part of his time in hunting and fishing. All at, once he turned “ right about” and began walking slowly back, his hands deep in his pockets and his hat pulled down over his eyes, and if anybody had peeped under that. old hat: they might have seen two earnest blue eyes under a consxderably pugkered brow. Ow eclear, bright day, one January, a boy wane fifteen years of age was walking ninmssly down a. beautiful country road, He carried a. stick in his hand with which 1 he would strike at the bushes growing by the wayside. He seemed wholly Without aim or purpose except to kill time. Sud. denly a. gust of wind blew a. piece of paper directly in front of him. He stopped and turning it over with the stick, the words, “ wake up” met his gaze. He picked it up and continued walking. He paid no heed to what else might be on the paper. He only saw those two words. YOUNG FOLKS. A Turn in the T1de. with a glad, sur- Empedocles was called the greatest of all Greek philosophers, but he couldn’t tell where the material went to when he found a hole in the heel of his stocking. 4‘ The World long ago accepted the first two of these principles without) reserve, and the third with limiuations.â€"[Lippin- cobt’s Rarey, the great horse-trainer, had three cardinal principles upon which he worked : let, that a. horse is so constituted by nature that he will not offer resistance to any de- mand which he fully comprehends, if made in a. way consistent with nature ; 2nd, that he has no consciousness of his strength be- yond his experience, and can be handled according to man’s will, without notice; 3rd, that man can, in compliance with the laws of the horse’s nature, by which he examines all things new to him, take an object, however frightful, provided it does not inflict pain, around or over or on the ‘ horse, without causing him to fear. A man who has not learned something of riding had best not try to train his own horse, for it would be impossible for master and animal to be educated at the same time. But when one has once mastered the rudi- ments of horsemanship he should by all means train his horse. Until he has taken a green horseâ€"I do not say an unbroken horse-and trained the animal to go the various gaits at command, he will never know the highest pleasure to be derived‘ from the exercise. When one has such a horse there is something like a double ownership in the animal, for the master has supplied the education which in- creases the animal’s value a hundredfold. By a green horse I mean a horse that has been bitted and backed, is no longer afraid to let a man mount into the saddle, and is what trainers call “bridle- wise.” And yet it is a pity that a gentlemen wantingto turn out a perfect saddle-horse, could not have him in the very beginning, and by patience and gentle- ness get the confidence. respect,and affection of the animal. The breaking of colts in this country is usually very roughly done, the young horse being conquered in the end by the greater persistency and ingenuity of man. The method usually employed is ‘onlya little less crude than the ‘°broncho~ busting” practised on the wild horses of the \Vest, Where a pony is lassoed, thrown, saddled, mounted, and ridden until its strength is exhausted and the animal has to give up. These rough methods very fre- quently spoil the mouth of a horse, and without a good mouth We can never have a good saddle-horse. And then, again, the temper is often hopelessly spoiled, and many of the “busted bronchos” are cruel buck-jumpers to the end. ‘hHA-.H»._.‘ y The \Vomcn [inveterate Disseml natal-s 01 e Political Gossip and State Secrets. Those who are best qualified by experi- ence to express an opinion are unanimous in declaring that there is no gayer or more brilliant society in Europe than that at St. Petersburg. It has a cachet all its own, says The Lady, and if it is less difficult of access to foreigners than London or Paris society it is so simply because hostesses too implicitly rely upon their friends of both sexes not to introduce into their salons any but persons of irreproachable character. The Russian lady is so clever that she does not require any details of a story. She guesses at these, and, if necessary, supplies them; in other words, invents them. The one word which a. guileless oflicial has let drOpâ€"which she has “ surprised on his ‘ lips”â€"serves her as the key to the mystery; the rest is easy. Of course she only com- municates these state secrets to her most intimate friends, who themselves are sworn to secrecy, but she has so many friends of both sexes that in an incredibly short space of time the important morscl oi gossip is literally all over St. Petersburg. To the foreign ambassadors she is more valuable than a. legion of spies. Those per- sons are assiduous visitors to the leading salons, Where, as may be supposed, they pick up quite as much as they want to know, and thus are often better informed than the l emperor’s minister of foreign affairs him- self. There is a mad race among the fair leaders of the grandc monde to attract the 4 largest number of diplomatists and great : personages in their drawing-rooms. Thus 1 ' it happens that the younger women, if not excluded from the salons which they would 1 so adorn but for this political craze, are not ¢ often seen in the principal houses, save at 2 balls and similar frivolous gatherings. The ‘ St. Petersburg salons are really not a whit ’ better than the men’s clubs, presided over by maitresse de maison. The very boudoirs are transformed into studies, the grandes salles into places of rendezvous for politi-l cians, and the bedrooms into warehouses of state secrets. inihn-qnn Training of the Saddle-H0130 GAY SOCIETY OF RUSSIA- An Austrian Project for Establlsllinga Colony in East Afriva. It is stated by the Manchester (England) Guardian that negotiations are still pro- ceeding for the establishment of the “ free land” colony in East Africa, where it is in- tended to make an attempt, on a scale never before contemplated, to carry out the idea. of a. socialistic community. It is in Austria that the idea. originated, and the district selected for the experiment is Lykipia, near Mount Kenia, in the British Sphere of influence. Representations have been made to the British foreign office and an ofler to purchase alarge tract of country, on the condition that while the community shall be subject to any general laws which the British government may make, they shall have absolute freedom to regulate their in- ternal affairs on a socialistic basis. The l experiments made in America and elsewhere lhave failed, it is said, because they were tried on too small a stage and on too small a scale, and the highest hopes are enter- tained that, remote from the bad example of society as at present organized, and with ample elbow room for development, the new community will show to the world what may be done by men and women (le- voted to'the socialistic ideal.
