THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. BE M IS HI Bishop Potter Says He Is Glad He Dedicated It. POINTS THE RIGHT WAY 'The Most Divine of Men Came to Give Ue the Right Way Self Control. Saya Barnum Wat a Good Disciple Praises Tavern's Work In a Re cent Address In New York. At the seventh reunion of the En tertainment Club held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York, Bishop Pot ter said in part: "When Mrs. Roswell D. Hitchcock asked me to address you on the Sub way Tavern I pointed out to her that my knowledge was limited, as I had been there only once, and then on the occasion of its opening. Since then I have received all manner of com Biunicatlons from opponents of practi cal temperance work, most of them saying that I have given countenance to the tavern because I am making money out of It. It is a curious thing that ideas in the abstract are less in teresting that the contemplation of facts. "I grieve that the public took the eharges against me with equanimity and did not aid In the practical work. In the accusations much was said on fundamental questions that were not understood. It was held sacrilegious that we sang the long metre Doxology at the end of the exercises opening the tavern. I wish they could remem ber the text 'When there shall be holi ness in the bells of horses.' They Blight take It that this means that sieighbells preach dolorous sermons, "Study of the problems of intem perance shows it is the underlying cause of the mischiefs, degradations, and delusions substantially the same lr. the various countries. "Nevertheless, the most conspicu ous note Is the convivial note. Shall I shock you by saying that the con vivial note is In our physical and men tal constitution because God put It there. Remember. 'And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing there.' "The intercourse of recreation is the proper and healthy part of life. "Barnum, the showman, and Bishop Cox were great friends and often to gether. When the Bishop once said to Barnum, 'Good-by adding that he night never see him again except in Heaven, Barnum, assured of himself, remarked that he would be there if the Bishop arrived. Barnum, with his circus, rendered a service to society entitling him to some reward. He en tertained those whose lives were hard, so that the farmer and his hands could, with their women and children, go to the circus when he came and forgot their sorrows and their toil. Have you thought of the conditions in which you and I live and those of our brothers and sisters? Have you ever been in a New York tenement? The day before I attended the opening of the Subway Tavern I was on my way down Twenty-sixth street when t saw the tenement people literally leaning out of every window for air on a torrid day. I thought of the Tivoli Garden in Copenhagen, where you could see the worklngmen and their families, together with the more fortunate, sipping their beer and eat ing their lunches in peaceful com munity, and so was ready for my place in the opening of the Subway Tavern. "I am proud that I live in New York and not in Boston, but I am ashamed that we have no gardens like those of Copenhagen. But, with the Sr.bv.-cy Tavern we 'have begun In the rliit way" with a place where a man caa drink like an honest man, and not at adulterated liquor." -. The Bishop told the story of a fnc:; wio visited a country home. Tbc mother of the family sold that for the jake of her boy there would be no wine on the table, and offered him a drink of brandy. The lather of the tamily offered him a drink of whiskey, and the son invited him to the baiu for a glass of gtn. Continuing, he snid: "The New Testament never mention ed law-making as remedial for the alns of man. The most Divine of men came to give us the right way eelf eontrol."

Use of Cayenne Not Diminished, Though Many Persons Think 80. An old (New Yorker recently com plained that in restaurants not strict ly first-class, where exigencies of time and business often compelled him to take a meal, he found it difficult now adays, and sometimes Impossible, to obtain cayenne pepper. He left this as a grievance, taste and habit having caused him to regard the condiment as the natural accompaniment of cer tain dishes, such as raw oysters, var ious soups, and stews, and even some cooked vegetables, as stewed tomatoes The subject being brought up a num ber of others gave similar testimony. Speaking of an old and well-known hotel, one said: "I dine frequently at the House, and it is only Tory rarely that I find red pepper on my table. When I want it with any dlBh, I have to ask the waiter for It, and he often has to make a tour of the din ing room before he finds any. Then he usually brings back a bottle of paprika, though what I wanted was cayenne." Another said that in a very larse downtown restaurant, where the prices are popular and hundreds eat every day, he had ventured only once to ask for red pepper. "Then." he said, "the waitress was gone so long that I thought she had forgotten the order, and my oxtail soup was getting cold. Finally she did bring a tiny pepper-box of cayenne, explaining that it had taken her a long time to find it." All agreed that in three cases out of four, where red pepper was called for, paprika was furnished, Instead of the old-fashioned cayenne. This naturally gave rise to the impression that the former must be cheaper than the lat ter. Inquiry in some of the sn.all cheap restaurants, of which there are now so many in New York, where ev erything is clean and the limited num ber of dishes on the blll-of-fare are fairly good of their kind, showed that in most cases no kind of red pepper was kept In the place. The explana tion given was that it "was never called for." Where the condiment was found in such a place, It was always paprika. One reason suggested for the alleged disuse of red pepper was the disap pearance of the old-time caster, la which a bottle of cayenne often accom panied that of black pepper, with the mustard pot and cruets. In surprising contrast to most of these statements of New York res taurant experience, it was found by Inquiry in wholesale grocery houses that the total consumption of both cayenne pepper and paprika is annu ally increasing in this country. Pap rika was first introduced In this city, about fifteen years ago, through the Hungarian restaurants, and its Impor tation began to be extensive some ten or twelve years ago. American con sumption of it Is Bald to have Increas ed 100 per cent within the last two years. Instead of being cheaper than cayenne, paprika costs nearly double. Its popularity is explained by the fact that most persons prefer its mildness to the strength of the pure cayenne pepper. As most people know, there la no danger of mistaking the two from their appearance, the paprika being a muc darker red than the other, and more coarsely ground. The best pap rika comes from Hungary, and the de mand for it has become so great that the spice man of one large wholesale grocery firm said orders for the best grade had to be given well In advance, to make sure of getting them filled. It was probable, he declared, that fifty cases of paprika amounting in all to about 6.000 pounds could not be found in stock in this city today. The price, he added, had advanced 25 per cent, vithln the last four months. This year's crop in Hungary was claimed to be short, but he believed that In creased consumption had more to do vith the rise in price. That a large amount is used in prl ate families Is Indicated by the exten oi e sale of small tins, and it is ship ped In this form to the Pacific Coast Despite the rivalry ft paprika, the imports and sales of cayenne pepper have been largely increasing from year to year. It has not lately advanced in price. The greater consumption, It is probable, is due chiefly to the increase of population and to the lessening of adulteration. Formerly cayenne was very commonly adulterated with cheaper materials, principally cereals colored red. Most of the best grade of ca.yenue pepper is obtained from Zan zibar, and some equal to it comes from Sierra Leone, while other supplies are derived from Bombay, Madras, and Japan. There are not enough red pep pers ,of nifttclent strength grown In the United States to be worth grind ing. Those grown in Mexico are alBO ol little strength, and are ground only for local consumption. New York Tunes. A Costly Meal.

Tales of tiger shooting In India are Common enough, but one does not hoar much about king cobra hunting. A. Mervyn Smith tells how) accompanied by two natives, he went to a spot where a pair of king cobras were known to be. On arrival at the place he was made to get under a basket, the meshes of which were too small for a king cobra to put its head through. While he was beneath this basket one of the snakes came out and was shot with arrows by natives. The other cobra then appeared and endeav ored to overturn the coop. Describing the incident, the writer says: "The terror of that moment I cannot ex press. What if It should overturn the basket! The strength of thirteen feot of muscle must be enormous, and if used in the right direction would soon overcome my pull at the cord. What would then happen? Certain death for me, I felt sure. Again the whiz of an arrow and I saw a gaping wound along the neck of the fierce brute as it quitted its hold to look for this new foe. Fixing my knee on the cord, I now placed the muzcle of my gun Just through one of the square openings In the basket, and, aiming at the hood, fired both barrels in rapid succession, and had the satisfaction of seeing the horrid brute fling up the leaves and dust in Its death throes." Mr. Smith says In his recently pub lished book: "Snakes and hyenas are strange pets, but strangest of all is a full-grown tiger, and such a pet had Maj. Mansell-Pleydell. It used to be chained up Just In front of the door of his bungalow. The major had a method of running up bills with local tradesmen, but there was great diffi culty In getting payment, as none of the bill collectors was venturesome enough to cross the guardian at the door. It was a great Joke of the ma jor's when asked to pay his bill to reply: 'Have you sent your bill? our man has never presented it at my house.' Brutus, as the tiger was nam ed, seemed to know what was re quired of him. When chained before his master's door he would lie with his bead between his forepaws and watch the gate. If a stranger entered he would lift his head and breathe heav ily, and this was enough to scare the most venturesome of bill collectors." Arthur C. Woodhouse, a member of the Indian civil service, met his death while tiger hunting near Rajahmun dry, southern India, recently. He shot at and badly wounded a fine tiger one night, which made off Into the Jungle. Next morning Mr. Wood house followed the trail. He came across the tiger, apparently in a dying condition, and fired at him with a gun loaded with buckshot, but the charge and shock, Instead of killing the animal outright, revived him. Rushing at his foe, the beast bit him twice near the left arm. The wound ed man was carried by natives fifty six miles on a litter to the nearest doctor and died in a few hours after his arrival. How to Get Fat. Absolute freedom from care and enxiety. At least ten hours' sleep out of every twenty-four. In addition to this naps during the day if possible. This sleep must always be natural. Nothing is so bad for the appearance and general health as sleep Induced by anodynes or narcotics In any form. The diet should be liberal and should consist largely of food containing starch and sugar; potatoes, fresh, sweet butter, milk, cream, fruits cook ed and served with sugar, all vege tates containing starch and sugar, such as corn, sweet potatoes, beans, peas, foods of the macaroni and spaghetti kinds, fish and oysters, ice creams, desserts without pastry; plen ty of outdoor life, and a moderate amount of exercise. Sleep In a well ventilated room. I do not believe any one can gain flesh If there is any in ternal disease, certainly not if there Is any tendency to dyspepsia or liver trouble. Where the patient is plump In one part of the body and fails in another a gymnastic course Is advised. There Is nothing better than bicycling, unless it may be a regular gymnastic course. In order to pursue the latter properly the patient is advised to go to a first-class gymnasium, submit to an examination and take the exercises prescribed by the attendant physician. These gymnasiums, at moderate prices, may be found in a town of any size in the country. Where the de velopment is meagre In the ujjper part of the body swimming is also an ex cellent exercise. Walking Is always wholesome. The patient who wishes to gain flesh can never do so If she worries, is harassed, or permits her nerves to get the better of her. Celery and Rheumatism Ho, all ye rheumatics! Celery nev eT was finer than that which you, find in the market Just now. Chop up the stalks In pieces an inch and a half In length, boll them in water uutll soft, then drink the water. Or stew them Id milk and butter, thicken with a lit tle flour and eat warm with toast or potatoes. Rheumatism is ini possi ble, it is said, if the vegetables be cooked and freely eaten. Besides, there is no greater delicacy than stewed celery. The value of the plant lies In the apiol, or parsley-camphor, It contains. This dilates the blood vessels and has few equals as a dia phoretic nd diuretic. Anything that produces a profuse perspiration Is good for the rheumatic patient. All the world knows that celery is the """"bent a drinking man can tak , and its action on the kldneva and vjscera Js most healthful. THE WILD DOGS OF INDIA Very Cunning, Very 8ly and Very Seldom Shot by Huntsmen. Mrs. Nora Gardner describes an ex perience while hunting big game in the central portion of India as fol lows: "We had been shooting for some months, and up to a certain date had had very good luck. Tigers and other beasts were all plentiful, ami our bag was a good one. Suddenly our luck changed. Blank day fol lowed blank day not because we had missed easy shots or had to reproach ourselves for losing wounded beasts; but simply that we had seen nothing In the snaps of a wild animal to shoot. Pachinark. the hot-weather station of these parts, was Just abovo us, so my husband and I, with n few servants and baggage-coolies, started to climb up the hill. He and I were riding a little In front, whon ho diew my attention to a number of kites and vultures circling In the air just aheiri. Here this, of course, meant carrion or a dying beast of some kind, and we sent on a 'syce' to see what It was. The man came creeping back on all fours. 'Wild dog, sahib! Wild dog!' he said. "My husband got his rifle as quickly as possible. He crept forward and suddenly came on the pack making off nearly 300 yards away. Te took a hurried shot at the last in the pack and missed. The rest galloped off to the right, the one he had aimed at going to the left While we were be moaning our luck the 'syce' touched my husband. 'Look, sahib, he comes back!' and, sure enough, away to the right, we saw the dog going back to Join the pack. How he crossed the track without our seeing him is a mystery. He was already 200 yards off. My husband made a most bril liant shot, and 'got' the dog just as It was crossing the bank to the river. "Wild dogs are not only very shy, but veryi cunning, and very seldom shot. They do an immense amount of damage. As soon as a pack takes possession of a jungle everything else leaves It. Even a tiger will go If he smells wild dog. This accounted for our recent bad luck and the little game we had seen lately. The one we got was a young dog, rather like a fox, but with longer legs and body, thinner brush and rounder ears. There were six In the pack and they were devouring a young buck they had Just pulled down." Dog Finds Money For His Living. ' Press Clark of Wilkesbarre, Pa., owns a fine bull dog which is earn ing his own living by finding money. For some time he has almost daily been carrying to his master pennies and nickels, and an occasional piece of silver that he has found in the street. On two occasions he has found bills, one of $2, and one of $1. But he has topped all previous achievements this week by finding a check for $125 and recognizing its value, and his proud master now be lieves that the animal's money finding capacity is unlimited. He expects him to bring home bonds and securities at the rate he is progressing. Clark was out walking the other day when the dog dashed up to hlra and laid a slip of paper at his feet, barking joyously. Clark paid no at tention to it and walked on. The dog again laid It at his feet and barked. Clark still paid no attention and the third time the dog dashed in front of him, placed the wet and dirty piece of paper at his feet and seized his trousers. This time Clark picked up the paper, while the dog showed his joy by barking and wagging his tail furiously. Clark found it was a check for $125 made out to C. D. Simpson of Scran ton. He called up Mr. Simpson by telephone. The latter said he had been visiting friends the day before on the street where the dog found the chock, but that he had no idea where he had lost it.

CITIES LEARNING TO BE CLEAN Free Baths Claiming Larger Attentlor Than Ever Before and Growing Rapidly. "Cleanliness la next to godllnoes," Is a familiar saying to which usually a Biblical origin is ascribed. Really, however, the phrase came from one of John Wesley's sermons. Its correctness is more widely ac knowledged today than ever before; and many cities throughout the Unit ed States are helping their Inhabitants to live better lives by helping them to be clean by establishing public baths and bath houses. It is only within the last fifteen years, however, that these public baths have become at all numerous; and they are not nearly as plentiful yet as they should be, and as they will be. Until 1890 there was only one public bath In the United States that was open all the year. It was In Boston. The other public baths were accessi ble only In summer. They were beach baths and floating baths only. In 1889 Dr. Simon Barush, of New York, brought the matter to public no tice, and a large shower-bath estab lishment was opened there shortly af terward. Since then a good deal of interest has been developed; and in New York and in Massachusetts laws have been enacted providing for public baths. Massachusetts was the first State to pass such a law; but it merely "per mits" such baths. The New York law "requires" them in ciUes of the first and second classes. Since 1890 cities have seen the value of public bath houses, until now there are thirty-four municipalities in the United States operating 136 baths, thirty-eight of them open all the year. Even since these statistics were col lected other cities have opened or prepared to open baths. Besides those owned by cities, there are eleven baths owned by private con cerns or corporations open to the pub lic at low rates. Experience shows that the shower bath Is the best for public service, and baths of that kind are now being In stalled in many towns. Pool or swimming baths are also found advantageous. Tub baths alone are tabooed as wasteful and requiring too much time for operation. At present New York has floating baths mostly, and they are open only in summer. But all-the-year-round baths are being put up in various parts of the city. Perhaps in time Now Yorkers may be as clean as the Romans in the days of the great empire. Personalities. Menie, a Greenland Eskimo boy, Is one of the most Interesting of the pu pils In the public schools of iNew York city. He was brought to New York by Lieut. Peary and has been trans formed from a blubber eater Into a clever young American, bright in his studies and captain of a baseball team. The tribe to which he belongs is very small, comprising loss than 250 poo pie. They are the northernmost known inhabitants of the globe, dwell ing in complete Isolation on the barren shores of Smith sound, on the west coast of Greenland, a region of desola tion and gloom. It Is said that the duke of Norfolk, one of the richest men In Great Brit ain, having a dally Income of some where between ftu.OOO and $15,000, un til a Bhort time ago had never taken a ride In a motor car. At the con clusion of the run, which was' taken with a friend, he expressed much pleasure at the experience and asked what the cost of the car was, On be ing told that It was $5,000 he said, thoughtfully: "Ah. I shall wait until they become cheaper before buying one." , FRLE TO EUritCRlHEho. The Groat American Farmer Indianapolis, diana.
