SOME BATHERs
At Manhattan Beach who Play
too Nice, and Whose Antics
BOrdered ON the Naughty.
New York Cor. Buffalo Courier.


The capering that goes on in the
surf is all quite innocent, too, sup
pose. One kind that l noticed looked
very much that way. A party Of six
three men and three women, all
young-seened to be having a good
time. l dare say they are very re-
spectacle persOns-at home. The
men wore tight suits which made
them look like models. The young
women wore at least enough clothing
for Black Crook ballet. and perhaps
a little more. One of the young wo-
men seemed rather afraid of the wa
ter. However, she allowed her escort
to lead her in where it was about
waist-deep. He then playfully pushed
her back and put an arm behind to
catch her. As she fell the arm caught
her just below the shoulders. Then,
after a little skylarking, the Other
arm went down and caught her under
the knees. Holding her in this way
us one might carry tired child, the
man "fcated" the young woman here
and there in a remarkably free and
easy way for several minutes.
At the same time one of his compan>
ions was swimming out beyond the
breakers with another young woman
on his back, and one of her arms
clasped around his neck. 1t may not
have been at all improper, but the
scantiness of clothing on both made it
look rather queer. The third couple
left the water and lay down on the
sand. The woman stretched herself
at full length, and the man began
putting sand on her until she was
completely covered. He then got a
board that had been washed OH the
beach, and stuck it in the sand at her
head. That done he fell on his knees
beside her, bowed his head and went
through the motion of wiping away
tears. A crowd gathered around and
laughed heartily at the pantomime,
but the man went on pretending to
weep, and the woman pretending to be
dead. After about ten minutes she
gave a little scream, burst out Of the
sandy grave and ran into the water,
pursued by the amateur sexton, who
soon caught her and rolled her over in
the surf. A great deal of the play
among the bathers is harmless, but |
don't think it is all so. If some faith
ers and mothers saw how some sons
and daughters carry on when schools
out" on the Coney island beaches, they
would probably make a fuss about it.

The Chicago Tribune prints reply
from Will H. Herman, late associate
editor of the Okolona miss States,
to the resolutions of a recent meeting
ofrespectable citizens of OkOlona, in
which he was denounced ms literary
tramp and mendicant," the paid hire
ling and pimp of Radicalism," born in
Chic and sent to Mississippi in 1876
as a Radical emissary." Herman,
having been discovered in his true
character, has left the state of MisSis-
sippi, and writes a letter to the Chi
cago paper denouncing the citizens of
Okolona who took part in the recent
meeting as liars, towards, vagabOnds,
libertines, gamblers and social out
,aws."

ButterIniIk as Summer Food,
Drink and Medicine.

A Detroit physician asserts that for
a hot weather drink nothing equals
buttermilk. II is, he says, "both
drink and food, and for the laborer is
the best known. 1t supports the sys-
TEN, and even in fever will cool the
stomach admirably. 1t is also a val
liable domestic remedy. 1t will cure
dysentery as well and more quickly
than any other remedy known. Dys-
EMERY is really constipation, and is
the opposite of Diarrhea. 1t is infam-
nation of the bowels with congestion
of the portal circulation'-the circu-
lation of blood through the bowels and
liver. 1t is Il disease always prevalent
in the summer and autumn. From
considerable observation / feel war
ranted in saying that buttermilk,
drunk moderately, will cure every
case of it-certainly when taken a
the early stages.

A White Infant Turns Black.

About xteen months ago child was
born TO John Salter and wife, of Phila-
delphia, which promised to develop into
a arobust man. He was beautiful child,
with fair complexion, dark eyes and
silky, dark brown hair, which grew in
profusion. But in few days the parents
were alarmed at a remarkable change
that was coming over the child. He
gradually grew dark. At first his skin
became q pale yellow, then deepened
into a saffron hue, and then, to the ter
ror of the parents, grew darker yet. The
color was uniform all over the body.
except at the joints, where it was little
darker, and in the palms of the hands,
where it was lighter. The once brown
hair grew stiff and jet black, and the
eyes also grew darker, so that the line
between the pupils and the iris could
not be distinguished. In spite of medi-
cal treatment the boy became worse, and
grew very weak, all the time the color of
his skin deepening. At asthe became as
black as full-blooded negro. Then he
was attacked by convulsions, which grew
more frequent and violent until they
threatened the child's life. 1t was in
one of these that DR.. Reynolds was
called in. He succeeded in curing the
spasms, and then devoted his attention
to the strange disease which afflicted
the child. He at once recognized it as
melanosis or augmentation, which is
mentioned in the books in general way,
but there is no case given where it had
developed all through the body. This
was over sixteen months ago, the child
being then thirteen months old. Since
then the boy has greatly improved, bv
degrees becoming lighter, until now he
is of a light chestnut brown color. Since
DR.. Reynolds has had the case in charge
the child has been visited by over 200
physicians.

The Cars Daily Life.

According to a correspondent of the
Presse, of Vienna, the car is now to all
intents and purposes prisoner in his
own palace. Ten officers of the guard
are charged with the protection of the
building, and their duty is to keep watch
over all its inhabitants and report their
doings at stated times. Special regula'
tions are issued for the surveillance of
each floor of the palace. 1t is ordered
that the officers on guard at the floor
where the emperor resides shall tur.
back every one who is found there vii Il
out special authority and does not be-
long to the imperial family. Between
twelve at night and eight in the morn,
ing not even the czarewitch is admitted
without special pass, to be obtained
from the court marshal, Won Grote
This regulation is so strictly carried out
that DR.. Botkin, the empress body pay-
sician, had to wait one night for pass
before he was admitted TO his patient.
and the medicine he had sent for was
also kept back until authority tor is
admission was obtained. The subtfr-
ranean apartments have all been bricked
up, it having been decided that they
shall no longer be inhabited.

ArroWr00t.

A Sandwich Island letter to the San
Jose (Cal.) Mercury says: The unde-
veloped resources of the island are Won
derful. The cocoanut palm requires only
to be planted, when it becomes in few
years very profitable. Indigo is indi-
genous and grows everywh here. The
manioc, from which starch or arrow
root, farina and tapioca are made, yields
enormously, and the Hawaiian arrow
root, one OF the most valuable natural
products, grows all over the group. At
some future day these will be developed
with profit to those who turn their at
tention to them. The manioc is. a low
spreading bush having a smooth red
stalk, with short prominent joints along
the stems and growing tuft of small
palmated leaves at the top. The roots,
after running foot or two in the coarse,
volcanic soil, enlarge by intersticial de-
posit and attain two or four inches in
diameter by two or three feet in length,
so that one plant may produce nifty or
sixty pounds of tubers, which being
carefully dug up without breaking the
smaller roots, are reproduced in another
year without the necessity of replant-
ing. The plants require no cultivation.
The tuber is prepared for food by grating
the entire root; the pulp is then sub
jected to strong pressure under lever
or by wringing in a canvas bag until
the milky juice is expelled; then
nodded into cakes and baked like gems,
or on a shovel by the natives, until just
little brown; in which condition the
most careful Investigation can detect no
difference from the taste and general
appearance of well prepared dry toast
of.swheaten bread. ] ate of it and exam
ined it as carefully as possible, and saw
no difference. This bread, or cassava
cakes. constitute large part of the liv-
ing of the Portuguese in the Azores, and
of the inhabitants of Central and South
America, and is every way superior to
the taro and its products as an article OF
food. Strange as it may appear, tine ex-
pressed juice of the grated manioc is. by
inspissation and some not well under
stood manipulation, used as an arrow
poison by the natives of Central and
South America.

The Zodas bury their children: the VIC

the Greeks used both burial and burn

the earlier custom. Burning was not

The Dalecarlian Peasant.

The people in. this Swedish district
still cling to their old costumes: which
are quantity picturesque; but they sell
dom go abroad in. all thei: splendor un-
til Sunday. Then both men and women
come forth as clean and neat as it is pos
sible for soap and water and clothes
brushes to make them. Short red waist
coats with green sleeves, kneebreeches,
and long leathern aprons covering the
chest, these constitute the usual male
workaday apparel; while the women
wear thick ankle boots and short dark
woolen skirts, which, on Sundays, are
cnlivened by bright bodices and aprons
of red and blue, or black and yellow,
with large, snow-white linen sleeves,
and rather tightly fitting white or scar
let caps. How they contrive to keep
their fnery in such a spotless state,
while their houses are so small and their
furniture so scanty, is a problem which
the stranger will find it hard to solve.

mine for comfort, but I had nothing

ready to say.
II could not stand being alone" he
muttered, after a short silence; "the
doctor is with her now, and in a mo
ment I may hear that my little
daughter muslin fact may hear the
worst"
While he was speaking, I seemed to
have fifty consoling remarks to offer
but when he stopped, no one sentence
would disengage itself from tine rest.
What I blurted out at last seems
almost ridiculous as I look back on it.
You must hope for the BEST" / said /;
"you know she has youth on her side" ."
The words were scarcely out of my
mouth when / heard q measured step
upon the stairs; presently the door was
opened by the noiseless footman. and
the most famous of London doctors en-
tered the room. My friend leaned
heavily on my arm, but looked at the
man Of science with seeming calmness.
Il am happy to say" said the ply
sician cheerily, that our little friend IS
getting on as well as possible"
And she is out of danger"
"She never was in it,"
Never i'm danger?" cried I, almost
disagpPoiptsd'n is gPo Rss no+h;na tho matter with
her," he replied, "but slight fuverish
cold. I have seldom seen finer or
more healthy child. Good morning"
Inever was more annoyed. Here was
a waste of my finest feelings. Here
was I stirred to the depth, well-nigh
moved to tears, by baby's feyerish
cold. Of course was glad it was no
worse; but my friend was too absurd d,
and l would not spare him.
won't you resume your studies?"' l
asked, sarcastically, pointing to the dis
turbed book, which was lying on the
ground at our feet. His humility might
have disarmed me. II am afraid I've
been a fool" he said; " but if you had
seen her all flushed and breathing hard !;
and then she is so small and fragile"
Eyes, for q noble woman" I re-
marked. He received the dart meekly.
Philosopher" said |, suddenly deter
mined to rouse him at any cost, when
entered this room you were engaged in
prayer" His color certainly deepened.
"May I ask" I inquired with an ap-
pearance of difference, whether you
were addressing yourself to the Personal
First Cause. or to the Unknowable-but
perhaps you were merely bowling to the
rational order of the Universe?"
He made a gesture of impatiencG but
answered still with studied admiration:
Il was alone and in trouble"
"And the efficacy of prayer?"
asked.
"For heavens sake" cried he. burst,
ing into excitement, ''stop your iargon!
Nothing shows such ignorance of SUBJ
ject as having all its cant phrases on the
tip of your tongue. Can't l speak to
God without expecting to be paid
for it?"
This was turning the tables. If he
was going to take to questions ! knew /
should end by admitting myself fool.
So to avoid Socratic dialogue put my
hand on my friends shoulder and said:
" You are good man, philosopher; may
you and the noble woman live thous-
and years."
"Thauk you," he said, simply; "and
now you must let me 60 and sing pecan
with the nobler woman, my patient
Penelope, my sweet wife"
So he went with long strides over the
asbhodel meadow, and took myself to
my tent full of pleasant thoughts
