Many wemcn have an Idea that to fol low a dally regime looking inward phy sical development is" a wasto of time: that t take thought of what they cat Is sacrilege: and so even go to the extreme of boHeving that any effort on their jiart to Improve the body is a tadt acknowl edgment that the Creator did not do hls work justice. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of the Holy Spirit? Therefore what ye eat or whatsooircr ye drink, do It as unto the Lord." God's work Is al ways prfect. It is woman who cramps, disfigures .and distorts her body by wear ing, corsets, long and heavy skirts, tight bands, high collars, clost and ill-fitting shoes; and yet she does not rcallzo that by so dolngshe is perverting the work of the Almfgbty. She not only injures her own body, but the bodies of indi viduals of future generations, and that which Is injurious to the body is hurtful to the mind as well, even limiting to a remarkable degree the spiritual dcvelop mcnL As water is contaminated by a muddy vessel, so arc mind and spJrit made unclean and impure by a diseased body. Thus woman should realize that she owes It to herself and to all those with whom she may come In touch to tw healthy in mind and body. Her temple (bod) is the vehicle through which the real self functions, and the beauty of its outer walls, the well-formed structure, the harmonious curves, the grace of movement, the llghu springing step, the firm flesh, the glowing skin and Sashing eyes are but the outward expression of the cleanliness, the healthfulness. the calmness, the hopefulness, the sweetness and sanctity of her Inner being. " TIs only such a woman who may bear the right to be called beautiful." What to Eat? Everybody's Magazine. Germany is eating horse.

The employes In the llncn-room In a big New York hotel receive $20 a month, with room and; board, and their hours arc well regulated, in most of the large hotels. The parlor maid or molds come next on the salary list, with XIS, room and board, and the tips often bring this sum up to $30 or even $50. The maid's duties are to keep the parlor swept and dusted and her self tidy and ready to attend the women guests who desire her services. The chambermaids, bathroom girls, paint cleaners and scrubwomen (of whom every hotel employs a small army) each receive 512. The work of the two last named is distinctly diffcrenL A scrub woman would not think of cleaning paint and a paint cleaner would feel that sho was demeaning herself, in scrubbing the floor. Throughout the house the question of social distinction is argued, the maids feeling above the bathroom girls, the par lor maids above the other maids and the linen-room girls above the parlor maids. and so on. Human nature is much the same the world over. In the parlance of hotel employes scrub women are known as soubrettes." the chambermaids arc the "chorus." while the parlor maids arc called "show girls." The "soubrettes" begin their work at 1 o'clock in the morning and do not finish until about 5. They scrub the floors and go throughout the house with soap and hot water. At the Hotel Victoria (the ex ception among the various hotels men tioned) the employes are permitted to en ter the help's dining-room at any time of the morning or afternoon between regular meals and have a cup of tea. and a light lunch a system which has much to do with the contentment reigning among the employes of this establlshmenL The cost is only a trifle, and although the plan has been in operation for some time, those who enjoy Its advantages do not abuse 1L MADE HIM TAKE THE TRAIN Landlord WoHldn't Allow Drummer to Change His Mind. Washington PosL "Some years ago when I was a "knight of the grip I was witness to a scene be tween the proprietor f a small tavern In an out-of-the-way town In West Virginia, end a fellow drummer that still strikes; me as a supremely ludicrous happening." remarked George I. Avery of Chicago at the Raleigh. "There was only one train a day ou: of this burg, and it left at the hour of 4 A. M. "This drummer and I had to occupy the same room. I was going to remain over, but he wanted to catch that train, and I lvsard him cauttotifttg the landlord by all that was sacred Ht to fall ta wake him In time to make tle stattee. H sM that failure on hki part .to leave UhiI meant financial loss and perhaps utter ruin. The tavern keeper, thus adjured,, promised faithfully that he would rous his guest In due season, although to do it he would himself have to stay awake un til almost train time. The ground. I re member, was covered with snow and the weather bitterly cold. "Well, along about 315 there came a vlgorbua knocking at the door of our room and Immediately in came the proprietor, bearing a kerosene lamp. In his hearty, country" style he admonished my compan ion' to Jump up and get on his clothes, as the express would be along pretty soon. The drummer set up in bed. rubbed, his eys. yawned loudly and listened to the shrieking of the fierce December 'wind outside. 'Landlord. said he. as he began to snuggle back in his warm resting place. I think I've changed my mind. I beg your pardon for the trouble, but this bed feels mighty good to me. and I'll stay over another day. With this he started to recline as though the matter were settled. "What, changed your mind about go ing on that 4 o'clock train, have you? Well, yousg fellow. I am here to tell you that I have not changed mine. and. by thunder, you'll go on that train, pro vidin it gits In here. quoth the landlord. He was a big. strapping man. and there was suppressed wrath in his voice. 'Do you think. he went on. 'that I will stand to sit up all night and lose my sleep to wake a two-bit drumtner. who- then tells rne he has changed his mind? No, sir, not by a d n sight. You git right out this minute and make that train or there'll be the devil to pay and no pitch hot. Git up. I say. lnstanter. "There was no need for further argu ment. The logic of the situation was all with the hotel keeper, and the outgoing train carried away a gloomy looking com mercial missionary who was swearing un der his breath all the way to the station that one West Virginia town had seen the last of him." TREES' EFFECT ON CLIMATE Deforestation Causes Arid Wastes and Sometimes Floods. ' Whether forests exercise a percepti ble Influence upon the climate is an old question, and even today it Is not defi nitely settled. In many countries a drying up of the climate has occurred. which is shown perhaps most strikingly In almost tne whole of Africa. That deforesting has assumed constantly growing proportions in almost every part of tne world is still more appar ent. The climate of Greece, where to day only 16 per cent of area Is covered with forests, has deteriorated. An In crease of temperature and decrease of rain, are noted, compared with ancient times, especially in Attica, which was thickly covered with forests about 3000 years ago. and where hardly any ram now rails, while the heat In the open air attains a degree which would make the Olympian games almost ah Impossibility. A similar condition exists in the pe ninsula of Sinai, where thousands of years ago the people of Israel lived in a luxuriant and fertile country and where today only forestless deserts abound, palmyra, also once a nourish ing oasis in the Syrian "desert, presents today only a desolate waste of stones and ruins. In Mexico, where the Spaniards cut down the forests In the mountains. drouths changing to devastating floods are now noticeable, especially In the vicinity of the City of Mexico. In Up per Lgypt. where only 100 years ago rain was abundant, drought now. usu ally prevails. In Algeria, where, since the middle of the lasL century, the for mts have been cut down on a large scale, dry weather has increased, and in' Venezuela, the level of Lake Tacari gua. to which Alexander Von Humboldt drew attention, has been lowered In consequence of deforestation. If these and other facts are kept In mind the sentence. "Man traverses the earth and a desert results," Is under stood. It must not be forgotten, how ever, that this applies mainly to the influence of civilization upon appear ances and Is not always due to climatic changes produced by deforesting. Some authorities even deny the influence of forests on the weather and climate. It canont be denied, however, that dense forests favor moisture ana prevent the drying out of the soil to a considerable degree. At any rate deforesting, which in modem times assumed constantly growing proportions for Industrial and agricultural purposes. Is of universal importance. Germany, with a forest area of about 26 per cent, realizes annually nearly 360.000.000 worth of timber therefrom, while the wood Importations are about of the same value. The consumption of wood increases from year to year and systematic forestry has not succeeded In keeping up the forest area of Ger mauy. If It is furthermore born In mind that Canada, which formerly pos sessed more than 300.000.000 acres of forests, has today only a forest area of about $225,000,000 acres, it becomes evident that the question of deforesta tion assumes great importance If civil ization continues to change the face of the earth the problem of Its wood sup ply will present itself like that of coal and force the finding of a suitable sub stitute THE PUZZLING DIVINING ROD Use of the Instrument in. Locating Underground Streams. New York Tribune. Accounts of the discovery of sub terranean streams, with the aid of a forked twig, held by a perambulating explorer on the surface of the earth, have usually been regarded with skep ticism and often with derision. Geol ogists, engineers and other scientific men have usually laughed at the stories themselves, and pronounced the per sons who made use of the divining rod conscious or unconscious deceivers. With in the. last few years, though, such tales have been treated with more respect than formerly. They are not Infrequently ex amined with enough care to indicate whether they rest on good authority. De tails are occasionally considered with a view to ascertaining if test conditions were imposed on an operator whose feats were described. A willingness to be con vinced of the genuineness of the phe nomenon, it suitable evidence is forth coming, is thus evinced: and even though no verdict may be rendered, an attitude of serious attention Is really a concession. Engineering News, a technical period ica, whose management 1 marked by an admirable mixture of independence. Judg ment and caution, recently reproduced In its news columns a narrative which It found Jn some foreign publication. Herr Franxius. associate director of Important government work at Kiel. Germany, Is responsible for the truth of It. The neces sity having arisen for more wells at the navy-yard there, use was made of tho services of a diviner named Von Bulow Bothkamp. First the latter traced for some distance the course of an under ground flow which was already known to the engineer in charge, but of which there were no superficial signs. His skill was then tried in another way. Without any Intimation of the purpose of the experi ment, he was led to and frd over a pipe running horizontally underground from an artesian well, the pipe Itself having been cut and plugged some time previous ly. The diviner could get no hint of water whatever, and for a few minutes It was believed that he was at fault. Subsequently It proved that the pipe was empty, the well having gone dry. When at lenctfc the duty of fladlng water In a locality where aobedy could yredlet its existence was Iijoatd or Herr Von Bh-tow-Botkkxmp. he meeedd: and he spe- the depth at wMck It wwid e Xoud. To his report of the performance Herr Fraaztus adds an expression of con fidence that' "there must be something In tha matter." Many feats similar to those of Herr Voa Bmlow-Bothkamp are vouched for by critical witnesses In this country and in Europe. Whatever interpretation be put upon them, the most careful sifting leaves considerable residuum of fact- Perhaps the largest collection of these tales which any one ever made can be found In a trea tise bv Professor W. F. Barrett, of Dub lin, which appeared about five yeafe ago. This writer found It necessary to dis credit some of them, for one reason or another, but he ound a few which seemed to mm to stand critical examination. The suspicion entertained by Herr Franzlus. one of the engineers of the Kiel navy- yard, that "there may be something In the matter," does not, therefore, appear strange. It Is worthy of note that the device em ployed' by Herr Von Bulow-Bothkamp was a loop of wire, and not a twig. Though the preference has usually been given to wood, some diviners (or "dowsers," as they are called In England) rely on ona kind and some on another. There is no apparent difference In tfiu efficiency o the old favorites, the witch-hazel and the peach tree. Instances are related. Indeed, In which the discovery was made without twig at all. Exactlv how the unseen fluid operates so as to reveal where It l5 must still be a matter of speculation; but It can hardly be doubted that the sus ceptibility to the influence resides in tne diviner, not In what he carries In his hands. Those who exercise the nower are probably not particularly well qualified to explain it. There are indications oC tho presence of a more or less perfectly de veloped sense which nobody yet fully un derstands. . These Justify Professor Bar rett's treatment of the underlying prob lem as a psychological one; but the in quiry Into the nature of the faculty needs to be conducted further before any saf-i conclusions can be drawn.
