As there is much apprehension in re-
gard to the effects Of a bath in Great Salt
lake, | determined to try the expert
ment. There are three bathing places
about ten miles from the city. reached
after a ride over a strip Of desert
try on a narrow-guage road. Scarce u
ripple disturbs the smooth surface Of
daik green water, which stretches away
as far as the eye can see. The places So
lected for bathing have II bottom of soft,
white sand, the boundaries of the shall
low water being marked by lines of
rope, and extending out 200 or 300 feet.
II is a strange sight to watch several
hundred people taking a sea bath and
coming out with hair rs dry as when
they entered. To swallow a quantity Of
the water is to invite s~trangulation, but
the head can safely be ducked under
water, provided the mouth and eyes are
kept tightly closed. However, very few
seem inclined to take these chances, and
so the number that dive under are easily
counted, but they prove that the dangers
are oyerestimated and that the terrible
effects Of a thorough immersion are the
result of a baseless superstition and have
no existence in fact. A severe burning
results from getting the water into the
eyes, but frequent repetition aecustoms
the bather to the strength Of the saline
solution, and the few who indulge in a
genuine plunge do so with the utmost
impunity.
A novel spectacle is furnished by a
long line of men and women, with hands
intcrlocked, strung out over the water,
floating without effort, the density ofthe
water keeping them above the surface.

A few years ago the custom Of weaving
in some form a lock of hair from the head
of departed friends was quite fashion
able. The style changed, however, and
the hair jewelry makers nearly became
bankrupt. Within the last year the fash
ion has revived and now rings, brooches,
pins and all sorts of jewelry are made
from human hair.
There are several artists in hair in
this city, but one man is the master.
His process of working the hair is a Sc
cret, and he not only makes iewelry, but
landscape and figure pieces fashioned so
skillfully that they look like etchings or
paintings. Flower groups, composed of
rosebuds, lilies, pansies and daises, are
fashioned cleyerly, nature being copied
in form and color almost perfectly, tho
different tints and colors being pro-
duced by the use of different shades of
hair .@Philadelphia Times.

Piles are frequently preceded By a sense
Of want Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present

A moisture like p%erspiration, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant Blind,

A French savant, NJ. Garaud, has just

He says: The patois of Painters, in the

than Latin exiled on the borders of the

its original pronunciation and accentua-

Filth is not one of the peculiarities of the
Freneh-C Canadian. Take n walk through
the most settled districts Of our own
city. You win find floors unexpected,
perhaps, but as clean as a man-o'-w wars
deck. Go into the f~arm-houses, and
neatness and cleanliness are marked
characteristics. They are not dirty-far
from it. The mechanic and laborer who
goes home from his work in the evening
will be found with his hair brushed and
his face washed sitting at his doorstep.
It is a libel to call the French-C Canadians
n dirty race. The smallpox plague in
Montreal is not attributable to the UNI
cleanliness of the French people. II Mon
