Grapes as Medicine.

At a certain town in Switzerland,
grapes are grown solely as medicine,
and vineyards are put to no other use.
Instead Of drinking water, as in other
places, the patient is sent out to eat
grapes, and must pick them himself
from the vines. Where the doctor
ordinarily ins,ructs the patient to
drink SD many glasses of wa'er, he is
here instructed to eat just so many
punches of grapes, and no more. 1t
is assumed to be dangerous to 60
beyond the doctors prescription a
single grape. As strange as it may
appear, the invalids experience the
! est of good effects from The "raisin
cure" or at least think they do, and
10 away very well satisfied.

and when short distance from the
turn, near the Magnolia Garden, on
the City Railroad track. discovered a
man lying there dangerously cut in

officer came up to him be was groan-

most ag1nizing pain from the effects
of his wounds He was very much

cutting or anything about the affair
All that he stated was that his name
was Emile Rub. He was conveyed
to the Suburban Station and attended
by physician and afterwards taken

There are no fish in the Great Salt
Lake. The only living thing beneath
its waters is a worm about quarter OF
an inch long. This worm shows up
beautifully under the lens Of a micro
scope. When storm arises, the worms
are driven ashore by thousands, and
devoured by the black gulls. We found
pure stream pouring into the lake. IL
was filled with little clubs and sinners.
The fish became frightened and were
driven down to the brook into the briny
lake. The instant they touched its
waters they came TO the surface belly
upwards and died without gasp. The
water is remarkably buoyant. Eggs
and potatoes float upon it like corks-
Mr., Hood and myself stripped and went
in swimming. 1 dove into the lake
from long pier, which had been built
for the use Of small steamboat that
formerly piled upon the waters. The
sensation was novel. The water was
so salty that my eyes and ears began To
smart, but SO Duoyant that | found no
difficulty i'm floating even when the air
wa exhausted in my lungs. As Istruck
out for the beach felt as feather.
In spite of all that | could do, my head
would fly out of the water. The light
ness Of the water and the surgingof the
waves forced my feet from under me.
A person who could not swim might be
easily drowned in five feet of water.
His head would 90 down like lump of
lead, while his feet would fly up like
pair Of ducks. The water is n clear as
that Of Seneca Lake--so clear that the
bottom could be seen at the depth of
twenty feet. When we reached the
shore and crawled out upon the sand in
the light of the sun our bodies were
quickly coated with salt. We were com
PEELED to go TO the little stream from
which we had driven the clubs and
sinners, and wash oil in fresh water be-
fore we put on our clothes. Our hair
was filled with grains OF salt which
could not be washed out. The Nor
mons occasionally visit the lakes in
droves for the purpose OF bathing.
Many of them say their health is i'm
proved by leaving the salt upon their
bodies and dressing without wiping
themselves with napkins.-Ncw York

the Juror he had created, was rather an
exception To his countrymen in his per-
sonal history. But of that history IL is
only necessary To say that the rumor OF
his having been crossed In love was not
correct. He had been crossed in mar
riage, not i'm love. His own temper
far from base sort-had made the
cross by decidedly refusing match
proposed for him upon worldly princi-
Plies alone.
Personally, Lord Lindehurst was a
man who, without a title, would not
have been popularity remarked. He
was "A travelled, but not "A society"
man; observantly, not experimentally,
educated; nor was he particularly in
tellcctual. But he possessed IN agree
able presence, refined manners, an am
pie fortune, and an excellent heart.
lie had presentiment that he should
find his wife in the New World, and his
presentiment was fulfilled.
lie fell in love attirst sight with Irene
Wolf.
The night Of his arrival was the night
Of Ircne's beauty. In whatever degree
she faded from her perfect brilliancy
after that, his kindled imagination sup
piled the defect. He saw her first IN
the apotheosis wrought in her by the
one cruel moment Of her life. He never
altered from his faith in her bright SUI
premacy from that time forth.
For fortnight he studied her unob-
served and "atar OFF, then he asked
To be presented, and from that time he
devoted himself to her with an increas-
ing devotion.
AT the close Of the season their en-
gagement was announced.
The refined prejudices of the young
lord were not disturbed even bya pro
longed visit in the Western home of Pa
pa and Mamma Wolf. He found there
what he esteemed most, the aristocracy
of heart.
1t was long wedding journey that
Irene took, and for many months and
even years she had no visible part IN
her first-loved Western life. But hel
image was idolized in that home. "My
little girl - was the theme of incessant
delight; and dearly a. her affection
