Brewer reports an epidemic of rheu-

from that city suggests the following
lines of treatment: 1T is said that an
excellent remedy for rheumatism in
the feet is to soak well in onion water,
but perhaps the patient would prefer
the rheumatism. For the back and
arms, peppermint rubbed in will have a
soothing effect. For internal uses,

BATH IN THE DEAD SEA.
The water Is Remarkably Duoyant,
but Not Good to Taste.


A tourist who visited the holy land
few years ago wrote as follows:
Reaching at last the most remarkable
of all the seas and lakes on the globe
(the Dead seal, we prepared to take a
bath, such as 1 can hardly expect ever
to take again. had previously bathed
in numerous seas, lakes and rivers, but
never did 1 enjoy such a bath as this.
The specific gravity of the water is
such from it's holding in solution SO
large proportion of salt, 261a per cent,
that one floats upon its surface like a
cork. At the time there was but a gen.
tie ripple upon the sea, and being a
good swimmer at once struck out into
deep water. l soon found out that
could not only swim and float with Won
derful ease, but that l could actually
walk in the water, sinking only to the
shoulders. Discovering this fact,
made for the shore, and, taking DR.
c., one of our party who could not
swim, by the hand, led him into the
sea where the water was many fathoms
deep. At first he was reluctant to fol-
low me, but he soon gained confidence
on finding there was no danger of sink
ing, and he enjoyed the novel bath as
much as if he had been an expert swim
mer. Should the bather allow the
water to get into his eyes or mouth he
would suffer considerable abatement in
his enjoyment on account of it's ex-
tremely salt, bitter and irritating na-
ture. No fish can live in this sea, but
various kinds of ducks abound here at
certain seasons of the year. The water
was as clear as ordinary sea water; its
tempe,nture was agreeable, and it has
an oily feeling"

ooUBLE-TWIST HAND SHAKE.

1t Is Very Effective If You Happen to
De Accustomed to 1t.
The newest handshake is called the
double twist" 1t was born at the horse
show, but it is such complex perform
ance that it is only just reaching per-
fection- The title is more than unat-
tractive; it is ominous, and the unin-
itiated may we'll beware of it, says the
New York Sun. Concerted action is as
necessary to shake d successful and
artistic double twist" as it is to make
way the shake works: Two persons
meet and clasp hands in the ordinary
way. Then, still holding hands, there
is a perceptible pause of q few Sec
onds, and each is apparently inspired
by q sudden impulse to make the greet
ing more cordial and less conventional.
AS though by an afterthought, the two
drag each other closer and give each
others hands hearty squeeze. a very
perceptible interval between the clasp
and shake is Indispensable to the proper
carrying out of the new greeting.
That's where the trouble comes in. If
one shaker understands this and the
other doesn't, q bumped nose, bruised
head, or twisted back is liable to fol
low the sudden jerk. But if both under
stand what might well be termed the
glad hand, things are somewhat equal
ized, and nothing more or less than
a healthy vibration of the whole body
results

NAVAL MiSHAPS.
We Make Too Much Fuss and Sensa.
ton Over Trif2cs.


We have q good navy, and we dc
not appreciate it. AS matter of fact
says the Boston Journal, casualties to
our new armorclads and cruisers have
not been particularly frequent when
their size and their number are consid.
cred. In this country every trivial
mischance is caught up and exploited
by the sensational newspaper, but moth.
ing is said of similar accidents in for.
eign navies. Barring the destruction OF
Admiral kimberly's fleet b. the Samoan
hurricane in 1889, which no skill or fore.
sight could have prevented, our naval
service for many years has been remark.
ably free from really serious disasters
There is nothing in our records to com.
pare with the capsizin., of the British
frigate Captain with half thousand
men in 1870, or the fatal collision OF
the British ironclads Vanguard and
Iron Duke in 1875. or that of the Ger
man ironclads Kaiser Wilhelm and
Grosser Kurfurst the year following,
when 800 men rerished, or the loss OF
the British training ships Eurydice
and Atlanta in 1878 and 1880 with Goo
officers, sailors and apprentice boys, OF
the sinking Of the British flagship Vic.
toria, with Admiral Tryon, % officers
and 800 sailors, by collision with the
Camperdown on June %, 1893, in Tie
Mediterranean, or the wreck of the
Spanish cruiser Reina Regente, on
March 10, 1895, with 420 officers and sea-
men.
The list of minor accidents to foreign
naval vessels in the past few years
would be too long TO enumerate. But
the stranding of the British ar1norclads
Howe and Arson, the flagship Amphion
and the cruiser Sultan were far more
grave affairs than any such accidents
which have occurred to any of our own
heavy vessels within this period. We
have had our fair share of trouble, per-
haps, but no more than that.

Few people have any idea OF the
enormous sums of money devoted to
charity by religious persons and bodies.
Over $1,o00,O0o Il year is spent help
ing southern negroes alone by one Bap-
tlst society, and that not anational one.
As part of this educational help there
has recently been organized at Rich
mord, Va, for the special benefit Of the
colored people of Maryland, the District
of Columbia, Virginia and West Vir-
gina, what is known as The Virginia
Union university, with affiliated acad-
emics at Hampton and Lynchburg.
Another part of this educational help
for the colored race is famous old Way
land seminary, in Washington, which
occupies one Of the most desirable
building sites in the city-in coed times
worth $25o,Oo0 at least. tits now under
discussion TO sell the old seminary, add
the proceeds to Union university en-
dowmcnt and remove the school to
Richmond, making it boys college Of
high grade. 1t is in handling these
large educational affairs that Baptist
and other mission boards of the various
churches sometimes become financially
involved.

At Cherokee, in Butte county, Cal,
during the mining operations in a deep
canyon there have been found several
mortars, evidently used in pounding
grain. One bad the pestlc actually
standing in It. These were discovered
from u to 40 feet below the surface,
in fine quartz gravel mixed with sand.
Eminent geologists have proved this to
be the bed of an old inland sea, which
existed long before the last ice period.
The canyon is 1000 feet deep, and, cal
culatiug that it has been eaten out by
water at the rate of 2l& feet a century,
We have 1900 centuries. Add to this
the time required for the formation of

and we are forced to the conclusion
that man sufficiently civilized to grow
grain and make bread existed on this
earth 10000 years ago.
