SEARCH FOR BEAUTIFUL
Unclean Mind and Matter Make a
Bad Temple.
Suggestion.
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."

WOMEN'S HOTEL WORK.
3Iany Positions Pay Fairly Well and
Arc Easy.
Leslie's Weekly.
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

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.
