Ths luxury of ths Pompetlan Baths was famous tbs bath was a social function; It was Improved from year to year and nsw refinements added until none but the rich could participate In Its delights. But It Is quits a reasonable assumption that the average American cltisen today may enjoy the bath to a much fuller measure of delight. He may net have a scors of attendants to meet his wants, nor a magnificent marble natatorlum. But be has far mors practical comforts. He has ths sensible bath rooms found even In small homes; the cleanly tub, the hot and cold water at a turn of the wrist, and best of all he has something which the Pompeilans with all their wealth did not even dream of a perfect sosp. In my Witch Hatel 8oap the man, woman or child who wishes to derive the greatest pleasure, comfort and benefit from the bath will find a perfect combination of the three. It will stimulate the pores, cleanse and freshen the cuticle, Impart a healthful glow to ths body and make ths skin soft as velvet, and at the earns time It will be doing Its work as a skin medi cine mui fooj, curls; all Sl"e4r mcV'"' "w and better complexions. -MUNTON.

There Is an old Spanish proverb which '.js: "He who goes sbroad to get knowl edge must tsks knowledge with him." For this reason, relates ths Washington Poet, his excellency, Wu Tin? Fang, who brought to the United States much of Oriental as well as Occidents! wlcdom, returns to China with much that will pros of lasting benefit to his country. No other envoy of a forelgu power, especially from an Asiatic country, ever showed a greater or more intelligent Interest In our language and customa or loft ns followed by a larger share of the sincere rrgret of countless Americana Ths position held for Ove years by Min ister Wu was at do time a sinecure, ths dissimilarity of the conditions and tbs di versity of the populations In ths t'nltsd States and China making It difficult to pre vent misunderstanding's eveu ilk time Of peace. Ths outbreak In China In June, 1900, brought Minister Wu Into peculiar and far reaching prominence, and there was much ustursl curiosity, la this country and Eu rope, as to ths manner la which this high tjf of Oriental, ingrafted with weatera culture and progress, would acquit himself. His fidelity to duty la remaining at ths legation during tbs Intenss heat of a Wash ington summer, his frequent visits to ths Stats department to furnish or rsceive ths lstest dispatches, his urbanity, even when threatened with personal violence, crltU clsed by the press, snd unjustly aecuaed by the public, and his unfailing faith and courags called forth the admiration of the civilised world. Few men, irrespective of race or clime, under ths same circum stances, would bavs mads so few mistakes. Minister Wu has shown himself master of that subtls art which ha defines ss "nothing mors than aa appeal to reason and to ths senss of Justice Inherent In mankind." Mr. Wa's legal education was finished at Oxford. Englsnd. Oa his rsturn to his homo id Hong Kcag he was appointed by ths emperor to ths office of police magistrate psi:lss cf gre&t hessr asd !ter becsTss legal adviser to the crown. He la a director of ths Imperial railway of China and bore a cotep'.iuous part In the peace negotia tions between that country and Japan. Hla appointment as minister to ths United blaies early la 1FI7 was sn Imperial recogni tion of his distinguished services to his country. Not tbs least of Minister Wu's causes for self-congratulation is ths fact that he was Instrumental In securing ths construction of ths first railroad In China. It waa 100 miles lsng and was used for the transportation of coal from ths Tal-ptng mines to tbs port of Taku. Alrsady It has branches In ssveral directions, and from ths first has paid a divldenl of $0 par cent. About 7,000 miles of railroad are la course of construction in China, ons concession being In ths hands of Americans. Minister Wu came to this country with a serious purpose to break down the preju dices sgilnst his people, and It Is still his dearest hop that, before many years, the Chinese will be placed on an equal footing with the other great nations of ths world, la respect to our trade relations with his nnuatry Minister Wi aitntoe etatUHre for his sssertlon that, of several staple com modities manufactured la the United States, China Is our heaviest purchaaer. Quoting Confucius' maxim, "What you do not like dons to yourself do not de to others, Mr. Wu declares that reciprocity originated with that ssge, five centuries before the Nssarene eald: "Therefore all things what soever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Mr. Wu's accomplishments as a public spesker ere too well known to require com ment His profound logic, forceful argu ment 'and lightning-like wit would have given him a high place among the Jurists and orators of any country. He speaka our language with a alight accent that char acterizes the English spoken on the contl. nent of Europe and hla mastery of our Idiom Is marvelous. Ones, by a little unconscious play on worda that escaped the reporters. Minister Wu provided much amusement for a large number of persons. About thrss years ago he delivered a memorable address for the benefit of one of the mission churches of ths city. Referring to the part played by Unite eM Tr'rT Tenia H. Roberts In securing hie services as speaker for the evening, Mr. Wu said: "When Mr. Roberts csms for me he looked so respectable that I could not refuse. Tou know, In China, we have great respect for age. At this the large audience Indulged In a shout of laughter at Mr. Roberts' expense. "I don't mean that he la so old," continued Mr. Wu. "It may be that he Is not much older than I am, but be looked so respectable that I bad to come with him." A committee called on Mr. Wu to request blm to address a society connected with one of the fashionable churches of Washington. Casual mention was mads of the fact that the youthful pastor of the church had re cently resigned to enter upon a new field of labor on the Paclfle coaet. "Why did he resign?" asked Mr. Wu. "Because he had received a call to an other church," was ths reply. "What salary did you pay hlmT" "Four thousand dollars." "What is his present salary?" "Eight thousand dollars." "Ah!" said ths dlsclpls of Confucius. "A very loud call!" Mr. Wu fces bn a keen observer of the difference between the manners and cus toms of this country and his own. His ob servations hsvs not been limited to bis own exclusive social clrele, for he has keenly enjoyed mingling with all classes of Amer ican people and has manifested to all the gentle courtesy which makes ths patrician of svery race and age. He has shown particular interest in re gard to courtship and marriage in the United States, and, comparing our observ ances with thoas of his country, considers that there Is room for Improvsment In both. He thinks tbs young people of China should be permitted, under proper circum stances, to converse occasionally with those to whom they are affianced and la equally convinced that there la too much freedom of association and too little deference to the wishes of parsnts and guardians In matrimonial affairs In ths westsrn hemi sphere. . In China persons of rank do not see their future husbands or wives until ths mar riage ceremony occurs. Mr. Wu hss related In his lnlmltabls manner how, with a little planning and the assistance of a few friends, ha managed to obtain at a distance of thirty feet, a glimpse of ths young lady who had been choeea to be his wlfs. Mrs, Wu. who la a slstsr of Ho Tow, Chlnsss consul general at San Francisco, waa un acquainted with English when aha arrived In this country, but shs has bsen a diligent student and now speaks our language al most fluently. Shs Is a tvoip.l M.h.....-' Chinese beauty and Is finely educsted. Mr. Wu, who Is ardently opposed to foot binding, deslrsd In early manhood to marry' a young woman with natural feet, but, though hla parents searched for three years, nons of suitable rank and education could be found. Antl-footblndina- have been In operation In China since 187.. ana r. wu, who Is authority for ths state ment that this strange cuatom originated in the dream of an emperor who ruled that country more than a thousand years ago, says that It Is waning In popular favor and sxpresses the hone that it win soon bo a thing of ths past. las mmd Oats. Chicago Post: Ths two young men reached the door at ths asms tlms. "Is Miss Wslslngham In?" thsy asked. The maid looked at them and shook her head, disconsolately. "Bbe'a in to wan sv ys an' out to ia other.' she said at last, "but ths two av ye comla' together has got ma so tsngled I'm blest If I know which la which, tout come right In. both av ys, an' I'll ask her to cems dowa an pick ys out. r
