To take a bath at Tihis is TO court
a wonderful experience. Abundant
springs Of water. strongly impregnated
with sulphureted hydrogen, supply the
building, and in Its vauited chambers,
far below the street, there is no sound
but the splash Of the fountain and the
rolling echo OF ones own voice. Henry
Norman gives a description OF the
masseur who presides over the bath
and makes its most eccentric feature
HE is a Persian. who speaks but
word or two OF Russian. His head Is
shaved, rag is twisted round DIS
waist. and his feet are dyed orange.
First he rubs you, and then sudden

feet dug into your spine, his hands

the pressure. Slowly. with skillful ap-
probation Of every muscle. his feet

Our prOverb, Devil catch the hind

shadow legends. According to the Ia
bic. the devil had regular school at
Toledo, Spain Commencement was
inaugurated by the graduating class
running through a long subterraneau
hall. The devil hid ut a place known
only TO himself, and II he "cnuEht the
hindmost" heever after claimed Linn or.
her as his special property. Sometimes
he only caught the shadow, and the
persons thus deprived Of their second

astrologers and maSicians.
Nearly all East Indian tribes rs wen
as the AIalayans and several AHrican
sects believe that II a man walks
along the south bank Of river casting
his shadow across the water a croeo
die will seize it and thus draw the
owner to certain death.
Several writer's, Fiske among TIE
rest, say that the Zulus have superst
ton similar TO that OF the old BABY

maths OF Oregon formerly refused e

the process would take away Their

Somnambulism? What is 1t? Did you
ever walk in your sleep? II so. you
know just about as much about this
strange use Of the faculties and senses
OF the mind and the body as does the
average physician. Somnambulism has
been a mystery and matter OF discus.
sion to the medical profession since the
days OF the ancients. They knew as
well as we all now know that there is
such thing as somnambulism or walk
ing in the sleep. They attempted to ex.
plain it just as modern medical science
has been endeayorinG to explain It ever
since. But as 1t was then so it is now.
There are so many explanations that
even the physician is puzzled to decide
which to accept.

oueer African Mask.

Grotesque masks are worn in many
parts OF Africa during dances and relI-
gIous ceremonies. The reason is be-
cause a symbolic significance is at
tached to them and they are especially
supposed to possess the power OF pre-
serving those who wear them from the
influence Of evil spirits.
The masks are generally made Of
wood, and some are carved with rare
skin. When a chief or the head Of q
family dies, he leaves his mask to his
successor, and the latter is bound to
wear it. In every village there is an
artist who repairs masks and OCCASION
ally makes few new ones. and 1t is
said that no one does more thriving
business than he.
Bthnologists hare been trying to find
out the exact time when these masks
first came into use. but all they have
learned as yet is that they have been
popular IN Africa for many centuries.
