BUSY CLIFF JEWELLERS.

Tho Pueblo Women Are Literally Em-

''The cliff people are busy folk. 4"
writes Hamlin Garland in The Ladies'
Home Journal, in an article describing
the homes, home life and customs Of the
cliff jewellers Of the southwest--''t the
most mysterious people In America, AZ
he designates them. 1.-THE women grind
meal and weave blankets and baskets
and make very interesting and often
beautiful pottery. The old men make
moocasins very deftly. while the young
ar men 90 down from the cliff 10 the
fields to tend the growing crop, TO
watch the struggling corn AZ it battles
against drifting hot sand and against

of their climate. Each morning while

dawn go singing down the steep trail
down into the purple plain. Their qua

strange beauty. Each morning, while
IL was still dark, the women woke me
by entering the room where / lay to
grind corn, and each night went to
sleep to the regular rhythm Of the meal

gious chant Of the toiling women.

No. 157 Emerson st., South Boston, Is the
present home Of Rev. c. j. Freeman, A. B.,
Ph.D., the recent rector of st. Marks Episco-
pal Church at Anaconda, Mont. During the
reform movement which has swept over Bos.
ton, DIR. Freeman has been frequently heard
from through the various newspapers and
although resident Of comparatively recent
date be has exerted much public influence
which has been increased by the fact that he
was ten years ago on q commission appointed
In England to investigate the troublesome
question Of the vice Of great cities.
He has preached before cultured audiences
in the old World. as we'll as to the rough
pioneers in the mining towns Of the Rocky
mountains, and his utterances a. well as his
writings have been In the line Of progress and
liberality, well-seasonsd with practical com
mon sense. DR.. Freeman has written this paper
aletter which will be read with much interest.
He says
"some FIVE years since found that deep

The Prolonged bath.

Modern Medicine says that patient

kept immersed in bathtub for six
weeks for the cure of large sloughing
abscess, q current of water being con-
stantly passed through the tub. The

treated many cases Of gangrene. crush
ed limbs, sloughing sores. etc.. by this
method and has found better results
than by any other. Its success is due to
the asepsis secured by the constant i'm.
mersion. The presence of large quan.
tity Of water is not favorable To the de-
velopment Of pus forming germs, 40 that
suppuration is lessened and at the same
time the poisons resulting from the nc

toxic influence Of these poisons. and
healthful repair is thus promoted.
While in Vienna some IL years ago
the writer found patients living in tubs
of water who had been immersed for
periods varying from six months to n
year or more. The cells Of the bo,ly are
accustomed to contact with moisture. In
this respect they may even be compared
to aquatic animals. The blood cells are
carried by a current Of watery nuid,

The dissolution Of the monasteries had
greatly increased vagrancy in the six
teenth century. Rich abbeys, like that
of Reading. employed large numbers Of
workmen and servants, who when their
masters had fallen into evil case were
thrown upon heartless world and took
TO robbery for livelihood The bospitia
Of the monasteries in the good old days
always provided food and q bed for
weary travellers. Of whatever rank they
were, and needy wanderers sorely felt
the loss of their kind hosts The rich
courtiers grabbed the church g lands and
wealth, and the poor folk followed their
example by grabbing whatever they
could lay their hands on. Consequently
there were in these parts "a great stoare
Of stout vagabonds and maystsrless men
Gable enough for labour). which do great
hurt In the county by their idle and
naughtie life. The unfortunate persons
who were robbed could claim compen-
sation from the inhabitants on the hun
bred in which the robbery took place.
This old law was as ancient as the time
Of our great Berkshire king. Alfred; for
who is ignorant Of the fact that when
gold bracelets were hung mp by the
roadside on account OF the enforcement
of this law and the fear Of the vengeance
OF the hundred no one dared 20 remove

Bnt when these highway robberies on
Maidenhead tbickct were 30 frequent.
the burden Of making compensation fell
somewhat heavily on the inhabitants Of
the hundred Of Benhurst. In ono year
they paid as much as e255 for robberies
committed ON unfortunate wayfarers
Therefore special act Of parliament
was passed in 1897 in order 70 relieve
the inhabitants from their burdens. -
