like length in the world that can furnish so
much variety and of SO charming and inter-
esting sort
There are only two or three streets here
IN this snug pocket. in the hemlocA hills,
but they are handsome When you stand
at the foot of street and look up the slant
OF 1t you see only block fronts of graceful
pattern, with happily broken lines, and the
pleasing accent of bay projections and ball
comics in orderly disorder and harmonious
confusion, and always the color is fresh and
cheery, various shades of cream with softly
contrasting trimmings of white, and now
and then a touch of dim red. These blocks
are all thick-walled, solid, massive, tall, for
this is Europe; but it is the brightest and
newest-looking town on the continent, and
as pretty as anybody could require. The
steep hills spring high aloft from the very
back doors, and are clothed densely to their
tops with hemlock.
In Bavaria everybody is in uniform, and
You wonder where the private citizens are,
but here in Bohemia the uniforms are very
rare. Occasionally one catches a glimpse
of an Austrian officer, but it is only occa-
sionally. Uniforms are so scarce that We
seem TO be in Republic. Almost the only
striking feature is the Polish Hebrew He
is very frequent He is tall and of grave
to his ankle bones, and he has little wee
curl or two in front of each ear He has
prosperous look and seems to be as much
respected ss anybody.
The crowds that drift along the pronl-
enade at music time twice day are fashion
ably dressed after the Partisan pattern, and
they look good deal alike, but they speak
a lot of languages which you have not en-
countered before, and no ignorant person
can spell their names and they can't pro-
nounce them themselves.
The Miracles of the Spring,
Marienbad-Mary's Bath-The Mary
is the Virgin. She is the patron
ess of these curative springs. They
try to cure everything: gout, rheuma-
tlsm, leanness, fatness, dyspepsia, and all
the rest. The whole thing is the property
OF convent, and has been for GOO or 700
hundred years. However, there was never
a boom here until a quarter Of century
ago.
If a person has the gout, this is what they
do with him: They have him out at 5:SO in
the morning, and give him an egg and let
him look at a cup of tea At he must be
at his particular spring, with his tumbler
hanging at his belt-and he will have plenty
of company there. At the first note of the
orchestra he must lift his tumbler and
begin to sip his dreadful water with the
rest. He must sip slowly and be a long
time at it Then he must tramp about the
hills for an hour or so, and get all the
exercise and fresh air possible. Then he
takes his tub or wallows in his mud,
If mud baths are his sort By noon he has
q fine appetite, and the rules allow him to
turn himself loose now and satisfy it, so
long as he is careful and eats only such
things as he doesn't want he puts in the
afternoon walking the hills and filling up
with fresh air. At night he is allowed TO
take three ounces of any kind of food he
doesn't like, and drink one glass of any
kind of liquor that he has q prejudice
against; he may also smoke one pipe if he
isn't used to it. AT $50 sharp he must be
in bed and his candle out Repeat the
whole thiSg next day. I don't gee any ad-
vantage in this over the gout.
Regeneratins Revolution.
In the case of most diseases that is about
what one is required to undergo, and if you
have any pleasant habit that you value
they want that. They want that the first
thing. They make you drop everything
that gives an interest to life. Their idea is
to reverse your entire system of existence
and make q regenerating revolution. If
you are Republican they make you talk
free trade; if you are q Democrat they
make you talk projections; if you are a
you have got to go to bed
Trunk every night till you get we'll They
pare nothing, they spare nobody. Reform,
eform. that is their whole song. If per-
'on is an orator, they gag him; if be likes to
'esd, they won't let him; if he wants to sing,
