Show NEWS SUMMARY. THE BATH IN LAW. Now Before a California Court for Decision. jwhat constitutes a bathT IThis Is a peculiar question with t.ich a California court Is now wresting. An anxious world impatiently fait the decision. A California householder is belug and for the price of a heater that was irantoed to heat sufficient water for Jbath, and the defendant has proved tut it supplied only 35 gallons of hot he alleged to bo Insuffijter,forwhich a bath. j cient Tbo plaintlfT insisted that 35 gallons 1 ample, declaring that a man could one side and then on tt wet firstandon that "it is not necesho other," a plunge in take should he that sary swimming pool." fOn this question the Issue is Joined. The court has the matter under advisement. I The decision will, of course, be of (jeat importance, no matter on which it is rendered. The legal quantity water necessary to a legal bath taught to bo clearly defined, for the protection of the public against people wlio evidently regard a pint or so sufficient. Bible students will recall the fact that among the ancient Hebrews the "liath" was a regular liquid measure, wid scholars have agreed on eight and f gallons as its modern equivalent It would seem, therefore, that it eight and one-hal- f gallons was the regulation amount for bodily ablutions Ih the days of Solomon, .then 35 gallons ought to be ample at the present time. I This important fact is cited, not $om any desire to unduly Influence (Jie court, but merely to substantiate tjie point that the bath ought to be legally defined now as it was in the (me of Solomon. And when the requirements have boon fixed, even Chicago professors ought to be made to conform to them. 4- Worcester Gazette. liestJon The New York World claims to have received private advices that Manchurians are rising against the i Russians.

Never in her whole history had the government been at once ao thorough and so penetrated with a desire for honesty and capacity. For the first time, the sense of social duty to the state took the place of the old spirit of loyalty to the sovereign. For the first time and only time in the history of Europe, morality and religion were the qualifications insisted on by a court. In the meantime Spain was helping Charles with monoy which was spent in plots to assassinate the Protector. The effect of this was several petitions and addresses offered in Parliament begging Cromwell to assume the ancient offleo of King, If only for the settlement of the nation. He was quite strong enough to have taken it, and there was nothing unmanly either in his desire for the crown or in his refusal of it. One thing he knew well, that the title of King would take all meaning out of the Puritan revolution, and he could not so break with his own past, with his own spiritual life, and with the godly men who had bo faithfully followed and so fully trusted him. Why should he fret himself about ft mere word? All real power was In his hands; the army and the navy, the churches and the universities, the reform and administration of the law, and government of Scotland and of Ireland. Abroad, the war with all its details, the alliance with Sweden, with France, with the Protestant princes of Germany, the Protestant Protectorate extending as far as Transylvania, the planting" of the West Indies, the settlement of the American Colonies, and their defense against their rivals, the French all these subjects were Cromwells daily & king Is not in my commla- Count Leo Tolstoi has contributed "Which Is the shortest way to a thousand sets of his works, the ?" asked Senator Foley. profit from the sale of which is to Aire them your hosses, stranger? lie expended for the benefit of the Rus Why, whats that got to do with slan troops taking part in the camitr "Well, theres a short cut to your paign in the far east ioft which would save you half a mile The Russian minlstor of finance, it more, but if yon go that way, the is stated, has again declined firmly void's so tarnation bad that youre to the ofierg of several groups of leading break iikoly your hosses legs, and sif theyro yer own I thought ca how foreign banka to float a Russian loan, irou might bo a bit particular.

These three years were full of glory and romance, and the poorest family in England lived through an epic of such national grandeur aa few generations have witnessed. Yet, amid it all, the simple domestic lives of men and women went calmly on, and birth, marriage, and death made rich or barren their hemes.

I think I may, with Justifiable pride, remind you that this la the chief grain market of the British Empire, and through its excellent geographical position, aa well as through the enter prise of its millers, It Is now the second milling center In the world.
