BATHING AT Alx-LES-BAINS.
Carried to the Bathing Establishment II
a Sedan Chair-The Let Alone Plan.

Carried to the Bathing Establishment In
a Sedan Chair-The Let Alone Plan.
At Aix-les -Bains you may choose your own
time for getting up. The physicians there
rely chiefly on baths and massage-those in
Marienbad chiefly on drinking the waters
and on exercise, with the baths as supple
mentary. At AK you arrange beforehand
at what hour you will take your morning
bath, and you may make this as late as you
choose. When the hour arrives, you hear
heavy and regular footballs in the corridor,
and something is set down in front Of your
door. 1t is not your coffin, though it sounds
as il it might be- The maid knocks: 1.-THE
chaise porteur is ready for madame"
You rise drowsily to your feet. Jeanne puts
on your flannel wrapper-you go into the hall
and step into the sedan chair-and two bear
ers lift it by its long poles and trot away
down stairs with you and along the street,
thronged with other such curtained chairs,
till you come to the bathing establishment
nay, till you get into the very room where
your bath waits. There, only, is the chair
set down. Then two women take of your
wrapper and sect you on a stool of repent
ance, and one douches you from one side, the
other from the other side; and both knead
fine glow This performance lasts for nearly
half an hour. Then you are wrapped in
blankets. arms and all, till you look and feel
hike mummy-you are lifted into the sedan
chair-the concealing curtains are drawn
around you, and the two men bear you back
again TO your own chamber.
This time they carry you into the room
they set down the chair beside the bed-they
lift you tenderly out and lay you on your
couch as if you were a helpless infant; then
they go away, and Jeanne covers you care
fully and leaves you to swelter in your blank
cts for twenty minutes or more. After this
she comes in, bringing q sort of portable
stove with her. She takes you out OF bed;
she extracts delightfully."- hot linen from the
little oven of the aforesaid stove and rubs
you dry; then she puts on your dressing
gown, also well heated, and leaves you, COM
Portable to the last degree, while she goes Tor
your morning coffee This is literally all
that is required of you by way Of cure
No one tells you to swallow Wiley tasting
waters-no one exhorts you to walk-no one
interferes with what you shall eat or drink
you have been bathed and kneaded, and you
may pass the rest of the day as you please.
Your Figaro and your morning coffee
while away an hour of it. Then you dress at
your leisure You wander about the little
town, if it is cool, or you saunter into the
casino and read the papers or write your let
tiers, you buy some tempting trltie ct one of
the shops or you get novel at the very good
circulating library and sit in the shade and
read it-Louise Chandler Moulton in New

Rev. A. j. r. Behrend's Sermon Making.
For a number of years continued to read
half of my sermons and to prepare the other
half without use OF the pen. But my written
and speaking styles were out of harmony. /
found myself living double mental life. My
preaching lacked uniformity and the indi-
viduality which grows out Of the use of a
single method. So abandoned both methods
and adopted the third-that Of preparing
careful brief, mastering its contents without
special attention to the language and then
freely reproducing it in speech and without
the use Of note This has been my habit
for over fifteen years, and / am sure that for
me it is the best The written preparation
ordinarily amounts to about 1900 words,
one-third of a fully written discourse The
thought is put as compactly as possible, ard
with special regard to clearness and precision.
No elaboration, either Of argument or OF
imagery, is attempted at the time of compo-
sition; this is left to the subsequent review,
to which an hour or an hour and half is
given Immediately preceding the service, and
very much is left to the friction of thought
which an active and attentive audience al
wars excites.-"J. A Mex" in Brooklyn

From the Chronicle:
Died, June Sth, of quick CON
sumption, Mrs. Martha Dickinson,
wife of Charles Dickinson, of this
town, aged 81 years.

A very serious accident occurred
here last Saturday afternoon by
which Albert Pound, of LaValle,
Wis, one of the carpenters for the
III. Central railroad, was severely
hurt by having three ribs broken,
and Henry Proctor, of Freeport, H.,
another of the carpenters, had his
back broken. The carpenters were
all engaged in putting up the last
bent for the round house, and from
want Of proper fastening at the bot
tom, the lower end of one of the
timbers slid out causing the bent to
fall, and as it came down it dragged
another bent with it, thus precipitat-
ing the two into confused mass
among the workmen. The timbers
were twelve inches square and about
eighteen feet high, and Mr.. Pound
was on the top of them when they
came down, and as he neared the
ground he sprang for his life, and
falling among the timbers broke
three ribs. Mr.. Proctor was hold
ing the bottom Of the timber which
slipped, and had not time TO get out
of the way, and one of the heavy
timbers struck him in manner that
resulted in breaking his back, or at
least dislocating a joint. He was
taken out and carried TO the resi-
dence of Thomas James, and DR.. j,
w. Pearce attended him. On Sun
day the DR.. had succeeded in get
ting the bone into its normal con
dition and with a plaster Paris cast
hopes to preserve it so until the
bones aud muscles become firm
again. On Monday Mr.. Proctor
felt quite comfortable, his appetite
was moderate, and he was removed
| by the morning train to Freeport,
where he has a wife. Considering
| the number Of men about the scene
of the accident, it was a marvel that
no more were hurt and none were
| killed.

PRIVILEGES OF FOREIGNERS.
Hot DiscussiOn-What Foreigners Have
Done.

X New YORK, Dec. Last winter Gov
7srnor Hill under a legislative act ap-
pointed a commission to revise and
combine the excise laws of this state in
an effective and comprehensive form.
The commission is now at work
in this city. The commissioners are Rev.
Howard Crosby, an old New
Yorker named Smart and Gal
luss Thoman. The latter is editor
of journal in the interest of brewers and
matters. The Sunday saloon question
was under discussion to-day before the
commission, when Commissioner Smart
turned to his colleague Thoman and
said: "Do you think the people who
come to this country should ask those
who are in this country to change their
opinions?
Mr.. Thoman grew red and started
vicious attack against Knickerbocker
commissioners.
"Let me tell you, - said he, ''that 1
have exactly the same right to utter my
wishes as you or anybody else who hap
pens to be born in this country. Ameri-
can character, as a type, is absolutely
nothing, nothing. To us you owe all.
Who was it that first raised his voice
against slavery but German? Who
brings music that hath charms to sOothe
the savage breast to this country? What
rights has Mr.. Smart because he hap
pened to be born here? What has he
done?''
Mr.. Crosby then quietly spoke, and re-
ferrIng to the great year 1916 when his
parents came to America said: "My
blood boils when I hear the talk of these
abominable foreigners as soon as they set
foot in this country. There are 100 900
of these fresh arrivals here who rudely
and roughly threaten us American peO-
pie, who want to tell us what to do. The
remaining 200 200 Germans here are re-
spectacle citizens. We want no Mosts
and Schwabs here. -
