Soldering a Drunken Bridccroom.

AZ a remedy for dissipation the Turk
ish bath is sometimes an important factor
in social life. Not long since the youth
full hope Of a Murray Hill family had an
important engagement at IL O'Clock in
the morning. 1t was, in fact, no less
than a wedding at church, with himself
as the groom. At $50 O'Clock he was
scarcely sober enough to summon a de-
voted friend TO his room, where he told
him how he had been erticed into an
over indulgence the night before and led
into a dissipation that had lasted until
morning. lie had not even dared TO 90
TO sleep lest he should oversleep himself,
and had reached his house at 8 o'clock,
with a brain so b%efuddled that he could
scarcely manage 20 tell his friend that it
was liquor that had upset him. Fortu-
nately the man he had summoned knew
what a Turkish bath would do. In ten
minutes the young fellow was beginning
a process Of heating and cooling and
pounding and kneading and rubbing, out
OF which he emerged at 1890 an entirely
new man. His wedding suit meanwhile
had been brought 10 the bath house, and
at IL O'Clock he marched into the church
with the suppleness OF an athlete and the
firm tread Of a soldier. Ii was a close
shave, and he made any number Of good
resolves by way Of penance.-New York
