THE LOOMS OF TIME.

Miss Edmondson, the daughter of Chile
planter, is returning from school in Eng
land, and on the voyage falls in with a
young English officer, Captain Mccall
mont, and before they reach Chile they
are engaged. Her brother, Charles, how
ever, greets her return with ill-omened
displeasure and shows himself unlike the
brother she used to adore. At length the
secret is disclosed, and we learn that the
supposed Charles is really an impostor, q
rascally steward who has murdered his
master and takes his place, and it is not
till the end of the tale that his villainy
is revealed, and he himself is cut off by a
violent death, leaving Miss Edmondson
happy ever after. The story is most
charmingly told. The lady and her lover
are both delightful people. Carlos, the

NEWS FROM THE BIRDS.
BY Leander S. keyser.

Interest in natural history is growing.
This is shown by the great demand for
books about birds and animals that is be-
ing taken by the public in general. News
From the Birds" is one of the brightest
of these books that has appeared in a
long time. 1t is, in addition to interest
in the text, made most attractive by the
fine illustrations of birds as seen in their
homes and haunts in the meadows and
woods. The book is intended as a sup
Elemental reader for the home. 1t goes
upon the principle that the child while
learning to read should have subject in
which the reader is interested The
author does not worry the young reader
overmuch with science-only gives the
several birds their scientific as well as
common names-and that much will
please most young readers. He takes his
auditors with him to meadow and field
and woods during the warm months Of
summer and the frozen months of winter,
and introduces them to all the common
birds of the seasons. He shows their
habits, their modes of life; recites their
songs, their nest-building, their migra-
tions, their contests for life their hero
isms, and recites many anecdotes show
ing the intelligence of birds. The book is
written in pleasing, easy style, in strong,
expressive language d. Appleton & Co.,

THE PATERNAL STATE IN FRANCE
AND GERMANY

This book comes to Americans at a
time when it will be worthy of study on
their part. The attempts made by popu-
lists to form some sort of paternal gov
eminent are having a great deal of eff
feet on certain people. These should
read this book. Its interest is not so
much for its new historic facts, but for
the application of these facts to practical
questions in the United States. Our au-
thor says: For many years many citf-
zens, animated by the best intentions.
have advocated the adoption of certain
remedies-so-called populistic measures
by which, in their opinions, certain trou-
bles could be infallibly removed. But
these theories, aiming to put an end IN
the United States to the conflicts be
tween the interests of individuals and
corporate interests, are in reality very
old" They have under different labels
been tried In Germany and France. and
were always a failure, producing individ-
ual lethargy and practical decay. Our au-
thor has collected and arranged, method
ically, mass of evidence showing how
great has been the failure of the social
ed 'paternal government" 1t abounds in
wise, suggestive thought to the many
honest workers anxious to bring about
better conditions for the masses, and is
a timely book, written in good spirit.

THE REhEKAHS

Templar Lodge gave a euchre party last
night after the close of business, and there
being a good attendance there were nu-
merous groups of players who enjoyed the
intricacies of the seductive game. Next
Saturday the lodge will give a grab-bag

The feet auction held last Monday night
in the hall Of Loyal Lodge after the bust

deal of amusement. c. f. ONeil, very

IN COVENT GARDEN.

Covent Garden of London is famous
and well-known place. You can pur-
chase nearly everything, in and out of
season, there. Tuesday, Thursdays and
Saturdays are the great days, but in
the early summer, when fruits and vege-
tables are new, any day but Sunday is
full of business. The best time to see
the place is so early in the morning
that one had best stay up all night
linger at the club or stay late at ball.
Then stroll down to Covent Garden at
or $3.50 o'clock.
At 8 o'clock one will find a swarm of
people about, mostly porters, homeless
people and sightseers. When the buy
ers and sellers turn out the scene be-
comes very lively. They are driving in
from all points Of the compass, as far
as twelve miles. All through the night
carts arrive from the suburbs, heavily
laden with the produce of glass house,
garden and orchard, until every street

n Austria, near Vienna, a phySi-
clan has introduced on a popular
scale a form of cure which hun
dreds of people are practicing al
home-sunbaths Scores of people
place themselves under his care at
a big sanitarium In the mountains
every season and wonderful cures are
reported under his unique method of
dosing the naked patient with unadul-
terated sun rays.
The sun cure is essentially speaking
not new thing. Though strikingly
beneficial in effects, it has never re-
ceived extended consideration from the
physicians of this country.
l have tried the sun cure in several
cases with success. The conditions I'M
der which the treatment is given vary
in accordance with the system inaug-
urated. The usual manner is to allow
the patient full exposure to the sun for
a period not exceeding one hour. The
body is entirely bare. save for a pro-
lection to the head.
Immediately following the bath he Is
wrapped in blankets, and soon there
after taken indoors and plunged into a
pool Of tepid water. Then the rubbing
down process is applied.
The individual is placed on a regular
diet consistent with the treatment. The
eatables exclude meat and fruit.
Usually vegetables alone are advised.
The length of time generally con-
sumed for an absolute cure is depend
ent upon the nature of the case. The
subtle way in which the sun acts upon
every organ of the body may prove a
70
To begin with, the originator of the
sun cure rightly says:
There is no life without air, no
health without light. We not only
breathe through our lungs, but through
our skin, which contains myriads Of
minute blood vessels thirsting for oxy-
gen, and millions of nerves thirsting
for light. Where there is blood there
ought to be air; where there are nerves
there ought to be light. The light Of
the sun favors the change of matter
in other words, the process of liv-
ing"
This philosophic statement beauti-
fully expresses the advantages which
we cannot help but derive from an i'm
partial trial of the sun cure.
The skin is stimulated-a stimulus
not wholly limited to the body surface
by the influence of the sun, but cir
culates through the nerves to the re-
hottest internal organs.
The present allopathic system is dia-
metrically opposite to the physic hy-
driatic system.
One taxes the stomach with drugs;
the other effects its cures chiefly
through the skin. If the internal or
gans remain unfettered-that is to say,
are not subjected to medicinal treat
ment-the alternative application Of
heat and cold on the body produces Eff
fects which exercise a beneficial inf1u-
ence upon the whole body.
The myriad nerves which ramify the
human body act directl- upon the vital
organs, and the innumerable capillary
vessels discharge the effete matter with
which they are loaded through the
pores of the skin, and carry the oxy-
genated blood to the interior of the
body.
Drugs and countless preparations so
often and so recklessly used are never
required to call forth heavy reaction.
