MUD BATHS.
How the Mushlike Mixture Is Prepared
For the Patients.

ToE thc aNlShts
1.-THE hot springs Of New Mexico
says q gentleman from Las Vegas, "are
on the Santa Fe railroad, six miles from
Las Vegas, and they are situated in a
basin about 80 acres in extent, sur,
rounded on all sides by hills rising to a
height Of from 800 to 400 feet, shielding
the place from wind and SAND storms.
The mud baths which are famous for
their curative effects are only to be had
in two places in the world-here and at
Carlsbad, G~CrmanyAand it has been
shown that the mud found at the hot
springs Of New Mexico and which il
used i'll giving the baths is Of the same
chemical composition rs that of Carls-
bad. 1t is very interesting to note the
formation of this mud or peat. II Is
formed by the vegetation which has
been washed down from the hill~prob-
ably a century ago, and which, settling
among the rocks, has become deComposcd
and formed into IA substance which is
practically carbon imnregnated with
salts, magnesia, soda, hthia and various
other ingredients.

dried and put through IA fine sieve in or
der to remove the sillcates, and after
this treatment it is as soft as -four. 1t
is then taken to the mixing room where
it Is put i'll large tubs and the water
from the hot springs mixed with it un-
til it is of about the consistency of mush.
The mud is now ready for use, and it is
taken into the bathing room, where the
patient is placed in a tub and covered,
with the exception Of the head, and al
lowed to remain in the mud for from 10
to 80 minutes. The application of the
mud has an effect similar to mild
poultice and draws the impurities from
the body through the pores of the skin.
The patient is then removed from the
bath, placed upon a slab and submitted
to a vigorous rubbing, the chemical
composition of the mud being such that
it can be rubbed from the body with h
dry towel, leaving the flesh in a clean
condition.. A great many people come
to this place to take the mud bath treat
effected. In one instance l remember to
have seen a man who was all drawn up
with rheumatism, and after two weeks
Of this treatment he had been relieved.
The treatment is especially beneficial to
persons afflicted with neuralgia, rheu-
matism and skin diseases. "-Denver

QUEER TRADE.
A Chicago Man Makes Money as q Profcs
sional Lemon Peeler.

A Chicago Man Makes Money as q Profess
sional Lemon Peeler.
A man has earned the title of Lemon
John because he knows how to remove
the peel from lemons and prepare them
for Immediate use better, perhaps, than
any other man. He developed what he
regards as an art in a West Side saloon.
He practices it now in as many saloons
in the down town districts as he can
visit between midnight and dawn. He
IS "a short, thiCkset, u~nassuming person
age and as methodical as he is deft with
his sharp little knife. He enters a saloon
with a mere nod of recognition toward
the officiating dispenser, steps hastily
up to a corner of a~bar, reaches out me-
chanically for his supplies and gets down
TO business at once. a lemon in his
hands seems to be in the power of q
magician and loses its hard, thick COW
ering with "a swiftness and sickness
that never tail to astUnish an %unsOphis-
ticated spectator. 1t energies from the
ordeal with only the filmy white cover
ing that comprises the inner layer of the
peel, and this covering, when John is
at his best, never shOws a scratch or a
tear, The finished lemon looks as if it
had been subjected to some machine APP
plication. This process is repeated until
the stock of lemons in the saloon esti-
mated as the probable supply for the
day has been exhausted. Then John
proceeds to the next patron.
Saloon keepers use a large number Of
lemons, and ordinarily their preparation
for use is made by the barkeeper at the
time he may be mixing a drink. Then
he has not the time nor the skill to re-
move the bitter peel, and it often spoils
the taste Of an otherwise pleasant bever-
age. When John appeared on the scene
and offered to do this work at "a nominal
cost, first one and then another gave
him "A trial, until his business is flour
1shlng and apparently a monopoly

THE GOLDEN THROAT.
Ecll-like Tones Not Always a Gift of Ma

Ecll-like Tones Not Always a Gift of Ma.
y ture. but May BE Acquired.
The power of the highest ~interpreta-
ton of music in song is vouchsafed to
but few favored mortals and is not to he
acquired by any amount of e%ndeavor, if
the true golden throat" with finely
adjusted chorda v~ocales, be lacking. A
voice of sweet and mellow quality in
speaking, however, is not always q gra-
cious gift of nature, but is a possible at
tainment to per>U.i. Of the most ordinary
musical capacity. A pima donna spends
scarcely more time practicing her scales
than an ambitious actress devotes TO the
cultivation Of a ringing, bell-like into
nation to her sentences, for public speak
ers and people of the theatrical profess
sion understand the value Of vibrant
tones, Of the thrilling, solemn, proud,
pathetic voice." whose echoes lingeI
long in the memory of the inthralled
listener.
Among we'll bred people low voices
are the rule-low. but not always music
al, a tendency to f~alsetto marking any
effort beyond ordinary conversation,
which is simply an evidence of the lack
Of proper training, or of a failure to
practice those primary principles of elo.
cution that are a part of the briefest
common school education.
Lessons under a teacher are not an
absolute necessity to the woman who
would secure the grace of clear, sweet
accents. Deep breathing and chest ex-
pansion are the first steps toward the
desired end, and a systematic course OF
throat strengthening, combined with
enough discernment to decide between
a nasal twang and pure tone, is about all
that is needed to achieve a fair degree
of success.
An excellent method Of strengthening
the throat is gargling with cold salt
water in the morning, bathing it at the
same time, first with very hot and then
with very cold water. 1t thus gets a
slight shock and is braced up and per-
manently benefited. New York Jour.

~HERRMANN'S GREAT TRICK.
How He Caught Bullets Fired by Expert
MarksInen Of the National Guard.

0O" N Taught HbuiIetS G1Teu ny ENpeEA
MarksInen Of the National Guard.
Now that Hermann the Great is gone
there can be no harm in explaining how
bis wonderful trick Of catching the bull
lets shot at him by six national guards
lCn was done.
On both occasions the famous presti-
digitatcur stood alone upon the stage
while six picked marksmen from the
New York state national guard fred
point blank upon him from a platform
built il the audience. On both occasions
Hermann. pale of face aud painfully
alert. caught the bullets, previously
marked ly a committee Of noted army
men, and handed them back hot from
the barrels for Identification.
OF course it was a trick, but it was a
dangerous trick, ard one that Hermann
disliked to do. But even he was less
nervous than the marksmen, who, act
ing III perfect good faith, feared that
they might kill the plucky magician.
or course there was en- ~accomplice,
and this accomplice was not one of the
narksmen, but the sergeant in charge
Of them. This sergeant took the six reg
ulation army bullet cartridges on q sill
yer platter to the committee.
The committee examined them, made
sure they were genuine, marked them
plainly and replaced them on the plat
ter. The sergeant instantly raised the
platter in plain sight at arms length
above his head, walked over to the
marksmen, and they themselves each
took a cartridge, examined it and placed
1t in the rife. Then came the shooting.
The trick lay in the platter, which
bad a false bottom. Under this bottom
lay six other cartridges, identical in
size, weight and appearance, but hold
ing bullets made Of a composition Of
plumbago and mercury. When the SER
geant held the platter aloft, he touched
a spring and by a clever mechanism
these six flake" cartridges jumped into
the platter, while the genuine cartridges
disappeared beneath the false bottom.
So it was the composition cartridges
that the marksmen unkowingly put
into their rifles, and on firing this COM
position was instantly melted by fric-
ton through the barrels and dissipated
in the air.
Meantime, however. the supposedly
empty platter was taken behind the
wings, where the genuine cartridges
were drawn out, quickly heated and
carefully placed by an attendant on a
table, where Hermann, just before tho
firing, carelessly picked them up and
palmed them. Holding them in his
hands during the firing. he immediate
ly produced them as the smoke cleared.
A simple trick, but a very dangerous
one, for if the platter's mechanism fail
ed to work completely one>or moro Of
the genuine cartridges might have got
into the rifles Of the marksmen and
thence into Herrmann's O dy.-New
