A Bath in the Dead Sea.

A correspondent, after bathing in the
Dead Sea, describes his experience in the
following words: The water, which is
quite clear, and nearly the color of the
Niagara river below the falls, seemed to
me little more bitter and salty than that
of Salt lake, although brighter and more
attractive to the eye when S en- close at
hand. Its supporting power struck me as
a little greater, also, than that of Salt
lake, las the body foated more easily, and
the difficulty of swimming was greater
on account of the inability to keep ones
feet under water. So large quantity of
salt is held in solution that the water has
what is called, ! believe, a ''ropy" ap-
pearance, much like that of plate of
well-made tapioca soup. | observed,
however, that when we came out of the
water there was not so large a deposit of
salt crystals ON the body as after a bath
in Salt lake and the feeling of the skin,
instead of being dry and prickly as / ex-
pected, was rather oily and sticky. Our
dinner that night was seasoned with salt
made from Dead Sea water by solar
evaporation 1t was little lighter in
color than the best article of brown sugar.
Its crystals were large and hard, and,
though foreign substances were evidently

not unpleasant to the taste. / was told
that two quarts OF. water will produce
one quart of salt, but this is probably an
exaggeration. To complete the statistics
Of this remarkable body of water, / may
add, what many Of my readers may al
ready know-that there is no living thing
of any kind in it; that even the drift
wood brought down by the floods in the
Jordon is speedily cast upon its shores
chat its length is about forty-fve and its
| greatest width about ten miles; that 1t is
over 1900 feet at its deepest point; and
that the immense quantity Of fresh water
poured into it daily is undoubtedly taken
up by evaporation, as its great depth be
low the basin of the Mediterranean mus
preclude the idea of subterranean out
let.

Human ThOrus.

There are certain disagreeable people
in this world who seem to take special
delight in annoying others by reminding
them of things they would willingly for
get. They are human thorns, forever
torturing their fellow-men for the sake of
torture. Has man met with misfor-
tune in business, they are forever recall
ing the fact. Has man in times that
are gone wandered into devious paths,
they are forever reminding him of it,
often by congratulating him that that is
past. Has man blundered, they are
forever telling him what might have
been" When the thorn is Of the mascu-
line gender, there is one way of getting
relief. He can be knocked down and
taught manners. When the thornis of the
feminine gender, the case is different and
not so easily disposed Of But Causeur
hears of one such scourge in petticoats
who got her deserts the other evening.
1t was at little party, where some score
of fpeople where gathered together. The
thorn sat near a young man who, in days
gone by, had been guilty of foliies that
cost him dearly. He had put them all
behind him. But the thorn took occa-
sion to recall them, in subdued and
confidential tone. The victim, who had
been subjected to the same torture before,
spoke up so that all could hear
g Madam he said, for five years l
have been trying TO forget all that. You
have been trying to remember it. You
have succeeded better than l. Icongratu-
late YOU" The thorn subsidized.

SIipper-Throwing.

The ancient custom of throwing an
old Slipper after the bride as she leaves
her home is still in many places be-
lieved to bring luck to the happy couple
But it may be question whether the
old shoe was thrown for luck only 1t
is stated in Holy Writ that s'the re-
ceiving Of shoe was an evidence and
symbol Of rejecting or resigning it.
The latter is evidence in Deuteronomy,
twenty-fifth chapter, where the cere-
mony Of widow rejerting. her hus-
bands brother in marriage u BY looslng
his shoe from off his foot And in Ruth
we are told that it was the custom IN
Israel concerning changing thata man
plucked Off his shoe and delivered it to
his neighbor. ? Hence the throwing O.
a shoe after bride was a symbol OF re-
nunciation of dominion and authority
over her by her father or guardian. and
the receipt of the shoe by the BRIDE
groom, even if accidental. was an omen
that the authority was transferred to
him.

Slightly Sarcastic.

The professor of geology and miner
alogy came along after the hard listed
miners had found a rich gold mine and
said he: "There is no doubt but that
gold is here in large quantities. If you
find it rich it will pay This was in
California.
A little before this some hardy pro
spectors loaded little mule with flour,
bacon and tools. They travelled many
miles north and finally found a rich
mine in Cariboo. The professor of
geology and mineralogy came along and
said: g Everything hereabouts, Judging
from the formation of the country and
the gangue rock indicates the existence
of gold" Then the miners forgot that
they had discovered the gold themselves
and they gave all the credit and bowed
down before the professor. Then some
miners went south to Arizona, and after
starving for want of food and choking
with thirst. and few of their number
being toasted head downward by the
Apaches, they found rich silver mine.
Shortly afterward down came the pro-
fessor, and said he: 1.-THE metamorphic
and plutonic rocks hereabout certainly
point to the existence of argentiferous
ores.n And as usual the miners and all
around about forget they had discovered
the mine, and gave all the credit to the
professor. Well, he followed those
simple miners around to Utah, New
Mexico, Pixies Peak, Nevada and Fraser
river, and everywhere they dug first he
came afterward, looked down the hole,
with book under his arm, said some
hard words, and everybody straightway
said he had found the mine and that no
mine could be true vein until it had
been scientifically dedicated by a pro-
fessor.-Neao York GrGDlaic.

May Baskets.


Open the window, Margie,
And draw the screen away;
My life is dull December,
But my hearts as young as May.
Listen The laugh of children
'Tis a foolish thought, 1 know,
But it minds me OF one May morning
Seventy years ago,
When merry troop OF children
Wakened the quiet street
With babble of talk and laughter,
And swinging, like censers sweet,
The dear old-time May-baskets,
Ribboned, and pink and white
With the blessed bloom that gladdened
The gloom of the Pilgrims night.
And know by the robins carol,
And the tender green see
In the tops of the dear old willows,
That the May will come to me.
Margie, the scent of May-fiowers
surely, surely know
That one sweet breath! Could the south
wind
Bring it SO farY They grow
A mile away on the hillside.
But there's knock at the door;
Oh tor an hour ofq quiet,
To live my May-days o'er
What's this F? "a From Karl and Carrie. ;,
Oh, let my chair be rolled
just there-into the sunshine
2 And give me them to hold
knew their breath, dear Margie;
Forgive these foolish tears,
But God has sent these May-flowers
i Across the seventy years

A new experiment in surgery has been
tried in the New York Charity Hospital,
where two ounces of human milk were
injected into the veins Of a female
patient suffering from several Assesses.
At the conclusion of the operation the
doctor in charge said: The patient
will suffer no harm from the operation,
and possibly she may be benefited
However, / think that | have seen
enough to convince me that the trans
fusion of milk should be abandoned as
an unsuccessful operation. | think we
will stick to blood hereafter" Another
patient, also a young woman, was then
subjected to the operation Of blood trans
fusion. She was in the last stage Of
consumption. The blood was furnished
by strong male attendant at the hos
pital, who had already been bled four
times in the same cause. He warned the
doctor that this was the last time that he
would consent to the operation, saying
he was getting too old to be able to spare
any blood. About three ounces of blood
were drawn from his arm, and the oper-
ator defibrinated it by stirring it with
glass rod and straining it through a
piece of linen. Ammonia was then
mixed with the blood to prevent it from
coagulating, and care was taken to main
tain the temperature at the normal
standard. Then vein was opened in
the patient, and the blood injected.
