A Bath in the Dead Sea.

{. A. kmsbury writes as follows,
in Forest and Stream, of a bath i'll
the Dead Sea: ''Reaching at last this
most remarkable of all the seas and
lakes on our globe, we prepared to
take a bath-and such a bath | can
hardly expect to take again. | had
previously bathed in numerous seas,
lakes and rivels, but never did | enjoy
such bath rs this. The specific
gravity of the water is such from its
holding in solution SO large portion
Of salt (265 per cent? that one floats
upon its surface like cork. At the
time there was only gentle ripple
upon the sea, and being 4 good swim
mer, | at once struck out into deer
water. | soon found that | could not
only swim and float with wonderful
ease, but that I could actually walk
i'll the water, sinking only to arm-pits
Discovering this fact, | made for tho
shore, and taking DR.. c., one of oul
party, who could not swim, by the
hand, led him into the sea where the
water WAS many tathoms deep. Al
first he was quite reluctant to follow
me, but he soon gained confidence OF
finding that there was no danger Of
sinking, and he cnjoyed the novel
bath as much as if he had been al
expert swimmer. Should the bathel
allow the water to get into his moutl
or ewes he would suffer considerable
abatement i'll his enjoyment on &C
count Of its salt, bitter, and irritating
nature. No fish can live in this sea
but various kinds of ducks abounC
here at certain seasons Of the year.
The water was as clear as ordinar,
sea water, its temperature was agree
, able, and it has no feeling, and alto
gether its action on the surface o-
the body was such as to develop
those pleasurable sensations pertain
ING to the sense of touch, accom-
panied by the most delight exhilera
| ton"

Pooling Maggie Mitchell.

Olive Logan tells, in the Balti-
more .1mcricuo, how jim Collier the
actor fooled Maggie Mitchell, who is
his kinswoman, while spending II
few days at her Long Branch cot
tage.
1t is Il story of wicked and elabor-
ate deceit. Snakes were thick in the
yard, and Collier habitually went out
in his slippers. The repeated WARM
ING cry Of the anxious lady was:-
''Jim, look out for snakes! AdderS.
The grass Is full of them since the
rain. Better come off the grass with
those slippers on" He basely re-
paid this solicitous attention, accord
ing to Olive, in this way
'Procuring one day at toy shop
on Broadway one o. those paper
mache snakes which make one shud-
der to look at them, he fastened it to
his trousers LEG by n string, whose
action he could regulate at his waist.
The family are seated on the piazza.
Suddenly Il howl rent the air. 1t
emerged from Collier, The alright
ed group looked toward him, and
with horror beheld Il snake writhing
out Of his trousers leg. Snake!

hammock and careering wildly over
the lawn. Pm bit. Oh, take him
off! Murder!' 'Bringhim something!
quick! whisky-arnican cried Mag

the whisky-don't bring any arnica,
shouted Collier, rolling on the ground
and making the snake perform gym
nastcs in the alr. Mr., Paddock
(Maggio's husband) having got u big
stick, was ABOUT to rush to the rescue.
Keep awayn roared the sufferer
1T shall bite nobody but me Oh.
oh! Then selling the reptile in both
hands ut the ends, he attacked it with
his teeth in the middle, and apparent
ly accomplished its destruction by
madly 'chawing' it in two, to the in

The Influence of Muggy Weather

Herbert Spencer advances a theory
singularly consonant with some pop
uIar impressions. All know how en-
ervating is the damp "mugey" wealth
er such as we have had one or two
days of this week. This debilitatior
is due to the difficulty of carrying OF
the normal evaporation of TIE body
when the air is already loaded with
moisture. Spencer finds that 1t is the
hot and dry regions of the earth
which have produced the smartest
races, while the hot and moist have
produced Ethiopians. The great
rainless quarter extending across
North Africa, Arabia, Persia and
Tibet, has produced all the conquer
ing races of the worlds. The Tartar,
Aryan, Semitic and Egyptian races
have all sprung from this region, and
gone forth from it to conquer the
earth. On this continent is the rain
less region Of Mexico, Central Amer
lea and Peru which attained high
development in the prehistoric era
Livingston and Schweinfurth attrib-
utes blackness Of skin to the union Of
heat and moisture.
Spencer has here put in sober scien-
tiic form what shrewd observers
have long noticed sporadically. The
rainless climate Of California gives
snap to her people, and so does the
raretied air of Colorado affect the set
tiers of that region. All Americans,
in fact, are more active and mercurial
than the descendants of our common
ancestry still dwelling i'll dripping
England. The singular:ty Of it is
that the Aryan races received such
tremendous vitality from the original
high and dry sleeps as to be able in
successive ages to sofonize and hold
the best part Of the world, overcom-
ing all climatic influences with the
impetus received from its origin.

MY GUEST.

The greatest monarch of the earth,
To whom all living must pay tribute,
Is holding court within my house to-day:
His sable banner hangs beside my door:
His subjects come to pay him reverence,
While his victim lieth there extended,
Her little feet placed in their final pose;
The hands. SO busy and 30 useful once,
Folded in rest over the pulseless heart,
The heart that ever beat so true with love,
And with such grevlng for another's woes,
And was so tender and pittful it ached
To see the torture of the humbest thing
The fringed curtains cannot be uplifted
From the blue windows of the absent soul
Those curtains tell the house is tenantless.
Within the hollow of those wasted cheeks
Have bloomed and faded many lovely rose,
And those dear lips so pinched and blue and cold,
Were once the casket of the whitest pearls.
With all thy vaunted, dreaded power, Oh Death
Thou'rt but servant of the King of Kings,
Who sent by thee troupe of angels down
To bear a sister angel up to him.

A Good Joke.

i good joke iss told of a wealthy
New Yorker, with an eye for good
horse, who, shortly after betaking
himself to his summer residence on
Long Island, IN April last, was sitting
on his piazza one fine morning, and
noticed a pair Of fine steppers that
were being driven on the road in
front of his house The team consisted
of bay and a gray mare, and the
driver was an unassumnng, quiet,
well-behaved young man. The New
Yorker noticed them again on the
following day, and was more than
ever impressed with their fine style
and graceful step, and he decided al
once to buy them. Accordingly, on
the next day he stationed himself at
his gate, and when the team came
Jogging by he signalled the driver to
stop. "That's pretty fair team you
drive" says he. "Ies they are mod
erately good steppers." was the re-
sponse. care they for sale?:" asked the
New Yorker. "Well, yes; Iwould sell
them," was the rather hesitating re-
ply" Send them along down the road
and back, so that | can see how they
move," says New Yorker Up and
down they were sent u few times, and
at length the gentleman seemed sat
isfed, and signalled the driver to
pull up" | like them," said he" pret
ty well, and will buy them if the
price is not too high; what do you
ask for them?" "Sixty-fve thousand
dollars" was the reply,very cooly
given. The gentleman opened his
eyes and mouth in astonishment, ano
Charley Green drove off with Lula
and Fleety Goldust at 4 2:25 gait
leaving the old gentleman to wonder
at the high prices of good tair road

The beautiful Empress of Austria
passed through Paris recently, and
hundreds Of people gathered at the
railway station to get glimpse OF her.
She is well worth looking at, is the
fairest of royal ladies, though she is
thirty-eight years of age and a pos
sible grandmother besides. She
dresses very simple now, usually in
black, gray or lilac, never having
worn gay colors since the death OF
her eldest daughter, several years
ago. Her manners are marvelously
sweet and winning, and she is as
popular rs she is beautiful. 1t is cur
rently reported, however, that she
henpecks her Imperial spouse unmer-
cifully, and that he, like a wise man,
submits to her dominion. She gave
immense oHense to her naughty
mother-in.law, the Archduchess Sc
phia, of evil memory, by insisting
upon going out walking and carry
ing an umbrella, which last is y fa-
tai sin against Royal etiquette. She
lnherits the simplicity of her man
ners from her father, Archduke Max
imilian Leopold of Bavaria.

Frum the Worlds Disfensa-y Printing Oh
flee and Bindcry, Buffalo, New York, We
have received 'rhe Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser, in Plain English; or, Medi-
cine Simplified," by K. \. Pierce, NJ d.,
Counselor-in-c chief of the Board of Physicians
and Surgeons at the Worlds Dispensarv.
Whoever helps humanity in its struggle with
It's inherent weaknesses and diseases, 10 Dear
or care, is its benefactor. Ignorance is not
only of itself a cause of disease and mortality,
but it is the enemy of every effort to cure or
mitigate. Nothing will so speedily remove
this cause as knowledge (an elementary cne at
least) of the diseases to which we are heir, as
those superinduced by our own imprudence
DIR. Pierce has rendered, in our Judgment, a
benefactor's service, both to the afflicted and
to the profession, in his diagnosis of the dis
eases treated of, and in the presentation OF the
philosOphic principles involved in their cause
and removal. He is sparing of remedies, and
usually prescribes such as are safe in unskilled
hands. AS book merely of abstract knowl-
edge, it is exceedingly readable and interest
ing, especially the following subjects :-Cere-
bral Physiology, Human Temperaments,
Pseudo Hygiene, the Nursing of the Sick
Sleep, Food, Ventilation, etc. In one chapter
on another subject, so delicate in its nature
that it is shut up beyond the domain of warn
ing to all but physicians, so accursed in its re-
suits in modern society, he is most explicit,
and alike true to God, to virtue, to life, and to
society, shows the truth as presented in the
teachings of Scripture, life begins with
conception, great force, to which is
added faithful warnings.
Price of the Medical Adviser Ssl.5O, sent
postpaid. Address the author at Buffalo,
New York.

MASSACHUsETTS.

Rice has gained {, ,255 in Boston alone.
Present Indications point to Rice's elec-
ton.
Two hundred and forty-seven towns
give Rice, Rep, SILL; CASTOR 80, 776;
Baker 1920 A special from New
Bedford places Crapo's. Rep. majority
for Congress at 1000. Rice carries
Boston by7 votes.
The election of Rice is now generally
conceded. The estimate of the JOlun-
al places his plurality at from 5000 to
1000, and these figures may be increas-
ed or lessened by complete returns.
The vote for Baker, Prohibition candi-
date, will be between 1000 and 5000.
Adams vote will resch $1,000 and may
go beyond this estimate The entire
Republican State ticket il probably
elected.
Boston, November 2.-Complete re-
turns from 322 towns in this State, all
hut Is, give Rice 50, 1874, CASTOR II, ,3449,
Baker S,904, scattering 334. Rice's
plurality is 4,S35. These figures will be
but slightly varied. The Republicans
elect all their Councillors, and 81 Sen
atOrs. The Democrats elect 8 Senators.
One district remains doubtful. The
Republicans gain heavily in Repre-
sentatives but the figures are not vet
footed. Crapo is elected TO Congress
from the First District by over 1850
majority.

RAPIDLY Recovering.

The business depression which has
fallen upon the country in the past two
years, has been blamed upon the Ma
tional Government, and as the effect of
Republican policy but as the same de-
preston was prevalent throughout Eu-
rope, it is clear that it must be due To
other causes. The country is already
rapidly recovering from its effects, a
result which, when panics occurred
heretofore, required from five to seven
years to accomplish; and as the only
remedy which Democracy offers is free
trade and a return to the destructive
policy which produced the ruinous re-
yulsIons of 1887 and 1857, the people
will find it murh safer TO trust to lhe
policy under which the country is now
recuperating than to fall back upon the
exploded one that prevailed under
Democratic rule.

ALLEN said at Pittsburgh that his de
feat was accomplished by thousands o.
Democrats selling their votes, for the
cash. Democrats of Ohio are used tC
these insults from Allen; but the New
York Evening Post permits itself to be
surprised tnat he should use insulting
language even in speaking of his party
antagonists. 1t says:
Governor Allen, OF Ohio, made his
first speech i'm Pennsylvania at Pitts
burgh last Monday evening. His vex-
alton over his defeat permitted him to
insult more than half the people of the
State of which he is the chief officer by
saving that the heavy vote cast for him
on the 18th inst. is to be accounted for
nv the fact that ''every body felt there,
except q few bankers and a few ofii.'e
bolders-and no few either-and few
defaulters-no few of them either--that
there was something wrong in the
Country"
