ment. While stroIIlng under trees my
attention was directed to the fact that
all those whom we met who were bare
headed or wore only lace on the head,
who were without gloves, and, perhaps,
barefooted, were of the sanitarium
Fancy London barrister cutting this

bility can make barefooted man look
anything but monstrous. This is what
one writes OF himself from a German SAN
itarium: My first annoyance occurred in
the dining room. Now we Englishmen,
if we do not live to eat, are at least
fond of good living. Imagine my dis
gust in being seated at a table which
excludes everything which we at home
consider necessary for health and
strength.
But, when l found that my prescrip-
ton ordered me to walk barefoot before
my fellow-men, l simply said l would
do nothing of the kind; l would go
home first. But the logic of the little
Jewish maiden prevailed again Other
patients had followed this advice and
been benefited So ! ate the con-
founded food, went barefoot, got well
and went home a wiser man"
Approaching my interest in health
science, DR.. L. very generously gave me
some valuable points, and took pains to
explain various features of the institu-
ton. One day he said. 1--WE will show
you our arrangement for keeping some
of our chronic patients in the open air
day and night" Instantly I thought
of what had read bout hanging peo-
pie NJ in baskets, and wondered If this
were the place, and how near TO the
truth the stories had come. DR.. Is
plan proved as follows: On a section
of the grounds was 4 series of little cot
tages, one-story high. inclosed on three
sides, the fourth entirely open By
means Of curtains the room was divided
into compartments for two or three pa
tents. Those occupying the cottages
were usually sufferers Of nervous or
chronic diseases Here they lived from
early spring till late IN the autumn
night and day inhaling the pine-lades
air. Day and night bells connected the
cottages with the main institution The
effect OF this life upon the patients is
found TO be satisfactory in the highest
degree
Another interesting feature here was

Only the pale woman remained, and I
saw her pass but once in long time,
and then she was always alone and ap-
peared to be in melancholy study. But
one day, however, she did not come
alone. She carried child in her arms,
and beside her walked a woman dressed
in black. 1t was Blossom" The pink
dress, the pink ribbons and the pink
cheeks were gone. After the two
women had passed beneath the branches
of the maple tree and were well down
the street l heard one of the men sitting
in the shade say: "He was shot I
always expected he would get it some
time"
A year had elapsed, during which
time Blossom" sober matron
dressed in mourning, had passed my
window but three times, when the
cloud that l had watched her through
lifted little and the golden sunshine
of hope was sprinkled across her path
way, and brought me JOY as well.
Grateful am that / one day saw
another carriage dash past my window,
in which were Blossoms" mother

bons and, better still, pink checks
and beside her was the young me-
chanic. / have never seen any of them
since that day, but l am sure they are
all happier, though l do not know
where in this wide, strange world they
may be. And l who from my invalid's
chair see the spring sunshine once
more sitting through the maple leaves,
and hear the tramp of hundreds of toll
ers going to and from their work, have
kindlier thought for the fates that
gave my Blossom" lone more chance"
to procure the happiness that might
have been forever denied to her.

graciously favored.-Nixon Waterman,

THE BAREFOOT CURE.
Remarkable Methods of Treatment In q

remarkable Methods OF Treatment In q

| During a recent visit to Germany the
writer accidentally noticed burlesque
reference to sanitarium where out
door air was so much thought of that
patients were put to sleep for the night
! In baskets, which swung from the tops
of tall poles, the object being to give
the patients the benefit of every particle

only to distinguish such an one from
the monotonous crowd. And so this
little fling about the night-air patients
only determined me 20 hunt out the
place, if possible, and see what they hat;
new in the department of health
science. Having made special study
of hygiene while at home, improved
every opportunity in this direction.
Months later / found myself in the
city of Dresden. Eyes and head worn

rest for time, and bethought me to in
quire if, perchance, there were a san
itarium in the vicinity, and thus learned
of the "Weisser Hirsch," less than an

as it may, there came a time when the
| manly young mechanic walked alone
once more. There were many other girls
gong and coming, but he did not seem
to- notice them His eyes were usually
wandering toward the girl with the
pink checks and pink dress and rib
bons, whom he often saw strolling
homeward with the young man who
wore the diamonds and fne clothes.
By and by there was a wedding up the
street somewhere; at the home Of a
widow lady, suspected, for Blossom
had never been accompanied by any
one whom thought was father, or
brother, or sister; but had on several
occasions seen her with lady who sp-
peared to be almost an invalid, and
whom guessed might be her mother.
One morning fine carriage drove by,
and Blossom" wearing a strikingly
large hat covered with white plumes,
whom had seen sitting in the shade Of
the maple tree at the side of the sa-
loon. Later an express wagon passed
in which were trunks thought might
have belonged to Blossom"
In the same old humdrum work-a-
day manner men went and came, but
Blossoms pink cheeks and bright
eyes were not to be seen. The street
for time seemed cherries without
her; and l wondered if the world
missed her as 1 did, and as felt sure
the pale woman did whom / had seen
walking with her. The leaves on the
maple tree, through which the sum
mer sunshine and harvest moonbeams
had splintered and sifted, lost their
bright green hue. By and by the
blighting kiss of the frost fell upon
them and in cream and scarlet
blush of mingled death and glory they
fell to the earth and were swept into
the gutter by the first breath of win
ter. The snow-shrouded season
stalked slowly past The bare limbs
of the maple seemed like uplifted
hands pleading for the coming of the
sun and the south wind.
One morning a robin perched in the
branches of the maple, sounded the
first note of the coming spring, and, be-
fore I scarcely realized it, nature had
thrown blanket of glossiest green
over the lawns and fastened it down
with a thousand golden dandelions.
And the summer with her voluptuous
attendants came again, and Joy ran
riot through the hearts of men. But
blossom" tripped along the street no
more; neither did the young mechanic
pass that way as he once did. Under
my window 1 heard some one say he
had studied out an invention for simpli-
flying some process Of manufacturing
and that he had become rich. In the
afternoon men sat in the shade of the
maple tree, but the young man with
the diamonds was not among them.
