why Sand g,aths Are HeaithfuI.

A well known medical authority writes'
Sand baths, readily obtainable on the sea-
shore, arc very beneficial for rheumatism
and some other ailments. AS, however,
sand consists chiefly Of particles Of slick or
flint, including comparatively little veg
etable matter, the benefit occasionally re-
ceived from sand bath must be chiefly
derived from its constituting a slightly
moist paste excluding the air, the effect OF
which is TO promote eopious emulation
from the skin Wet soils. on the contrary,
found near mineral springs, sometimes eff
cacious in the treatment OF cutaneous dis
orders, are of course composed in varying
proportions of vegetable and mineral sub
stances more or less in solution. These in
sum represent chemical combinations that
are frequently beneficial to the skin when
diseased.
Sometimes very severe cases Of rheumatic
troubles have been cured by mud baths
There is place In Germany where the en-
tire cure consists Of burying the patient TO
his neck In tho damp soil. 1t II certain

And the bolts arc fast on the door,
With his sack OF sand he rides into town
With his sack Of sand before.

As sower scstters the seed In spring,
He scatters tho grains around.
Past no rides TO the wharf and the shipA
Past TO the foot OF tho hill
Ever finger is on his lips.
And his horses hoofs are stilk
He gallops up through tho old York lanes
And down through Rosemary street;

And they leap mp talt and sweet.

Straight into bloom they leap;
