Oriental Sand and Mud Baths.

In many low plains in the neighbor-
hood of the sea, in Greece, immense
quantities of sand are constantly being
deposited from the inrolling waves,
particularly at the promontory Sunium,
near Missolonghi, near Corinth, and on
some of the islands, as Noxos and Ny
kone. Professor Landerer, writing
from Athens to Nes0 Remedies, says that
these places are visited by persons af-
fected with chronic rheumatism, an
chylosis, and chronic synovitis of the
knee joint, for the purpose of taking a
sand bath. The patients (who are gen.
orally of the poorer classes) bury them
selves in the sand or cause others to
cover them with it, so that only the
head, which is covered with a night
cap or straw hat, remains free. 1t is a
ludicrous sight to see twenty or thirty
such odd looking heads sticking out of
the sand. In consequence of the weight
and the saline character of the sand,
the skin of the patients becomes so red
that when they emerge from their SAN
dy bed (Which they occupy as long as
possible) they look like boiled Holsters.
Wooden huts, or tents improvised with
oleander and plantain branches, are
used as bathing houses, and piece of
bread, some grapes, and glass of
wine, generally constitute the meat of
o patient. Direct inquiry of the pa
tients has elected the fact that the ef-
fects of this sand treatment are deci-
dedly beneficial. - ~ ~
Another variety of bath is likewise
not uncommon, the so-called z" mud
bath" In the canals and bitches into
which the sea water is allowed to flow,
in order to obtain common salt by spon-
taneous sevaporatien, mother water
containing chiefly magnesium bromide
remains behind, after the crystallized
salt has been removed. At the same
time, an aluminous mud collects at the
bottom. This mother water, together
with the mud, is used by patients af-
fected with chronic splenitis caused by
the frequent malarial fevers prevailing
among the workmen in these localities,
and with intestinal infarctions. The
method consists in smearing the whole
body with the saline mud, and in ex-
posing themselves afterwards to the
rays of the sun until the coating has
become dry, when it is washed off with
the saline mother water. Sometimes
both the sand and the mud bath are
used locally on a special portion of the
body only, as, for instance, the legs or
feet.-Scientifc american.

WHEN mans h0odse is building he

WHEN mans house is building he
never thinks the carpenter puts in one
third enough nails, and frequently and
with biting sarcasm asks him if he
doesn't think the house would stand if
he just simply leaned it up against it
self, and saved all his nailsp Then a
few years afterward, when he tears
down the summer kitchen to build a
new one, he growls and scolds, and
sarcastically wonders why that fellow
didn't make the house entirely of nails,
and just put in enough lumber to hold
the nails together.-HaUk-Ey Eye.

To Clean Corpets.--Shake and beat

mel wash it over with one quart of bull
locks gall, mixed with three quarts of
soft cold water and rub it off with q
clean flannel or house cloth. Any par

Plants in the winter require very much
less water than in summer. Never water
unless the surface of the soil is dry
There are exceptions to this in the case
of callas and such plants as require q
great deal of water, but this is good
rule for most plants. A great many per-
sons persist in watering plants every day
| whether it is needed or not. In this way
the soil becomes sour and heavy, and the
plant diseased. Always use water moder
! atelv warm.

The Depth Of Depravity.

A Western paper tells of new and
dreadfully mean swindle. A stranger
calls at a grocery and calls for two quarts
of molasses. The grocer draws the arti-
Gle and asks it the stranger has a jug to
put it in. "No,' says the stranger, 'Ebut
you can put it in my hat" The grocer
smiles broad smile, questions to himself
whether the stranger is a fool or great
American humorist, and disposes OF the
molasses as requested, laughing half to
death as he completes the job, end think
ing what rare good story he will be
able to tell the boys Who gather around
his stove during the long evenings to
discuss politics and chew tobacco. Sud-
denly he starts, however, and with most
excellent reason. The disgusting strang-
er has clapped the hat on the grocer's
head and firmly dra y n it down, the mo,
lasses and all, over his ears. 1t takes
him i've minutes to partially recover
from his establishment, the molasses and
the hat, and when he has sufficiently re-
moved sweetness, and tears from his ewes
to look around the deceiving person has
gone, taking with him the contents IF
his money drawer and such other arti-
cles as happen to be portable. The
mind which could invent such an out
rage is lost; the man who could transact
it is as diabolical as anything in human
shape this side of Mrs. Borgia. While
we have not that respect for con6ding
grocer which induces awe, we do look
upon him as respectable fellow citizen,
entitled to all the immunities; and to
think of the feelings of that person as
endeavors to tear off the hat and the
accompanying molasses-of his sudden
repulsion from good nature to astonish-
ment, and then to the extreme of most
ilnpbtent anger and indignation-is to
contemplate depth ofanguish not here
tofore reached by any sympathy in the
| world. We remembered the melancholy
spectacle, good many years ago, of q
police justice of great enterprise and
dignity sallying ont to do little arrest
ing on his own hook. He arrested two
| unpleasant men for being disorderly,
and started with them for his office, one
on either side. Suddenly one of those
| young men jumped high and brought
his fist down on the high hat Of the good
old public functionary, and in a moment
the rim of that hat was resting peace
| fully on his shoulders, the crown thereof
covering his countenance, and fitting as
firmly and closely as if it had been SO
much Incorporating stovepipe. The
wicked young man ran away, taking q
mean advantage of the frantic efforts Of
his honor to release himself. The look OF
J pain, Of wounded dignity, of extreme as.

Useless Expenditure.

At funerals and weddings, as conduct
ed nowadays, money is literally wasted
in ostcntatious display, which is always
Objectionable, but particularly so at fu-
nerals. Very often, too, they involve ex-
penses which the survivors are poorly
able to meet, and which entail distress
and sometimes dishonor. Still, the nat
ural feeling that impels the lavishing of
honor upon the newly dead is very
strong and hard to be controlled. Too
often the conscience of the survivor
smites him for his neglect or wrong of
the dead while living, and he wishes to
make compensation. ut is the last
thing that can be done, let us do it well"
is the thought. But this feeling should
be kept within proper bounds. An evil
dence of good sense is to be seen in the
growing simplicity of our wedding ies
tivals. 1t is becoming considered in rather
bad taste to permit, at the weddings even
Of our most wealthy people, the profuse
displays, either of apparel, jewelry or
bridal presents, that were deemed the
correct thing few years ago. A quiet,
elegant but inexpensive wedding is now
becoming the rule, in the best circles,
rather than the exception. This is oil
right and shows q wholesome tendency to
practice thrift and economy.
