Heroic Treatment.

To take bath at Tif1is is to court a
wonderful experience. Abundant
springs of water, strongly impregnated
with the sulphureted hydrogen, supply
the building, and in its vaulted cham.
bers, 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 de.
scription of the masseur who presides
over the bath and makes its most &C.
centric feature.
"He Ia Persian. who speaks but a
word or two of Russian. His head is
shaved, rag is twisted round his
waist, and his feet are dyed orange
First he rubs you, and then sud-
denly, as you lie face downward on
the marble slab. he is upon your back,
his feet dug into your spine, his hands
grasping your shoulders to increase
the pressure. Slowly, with skillful
appreciation of every muscle. his feet
grind up and down your back. They
encircle your neck; they are on your
head.
Then he vaults lightly off, and in a
moment, from a linen bag filled with
soap, he has squeezed clouds of per.
fumed bubbles, and you are hidden
in them from head to foot as COM
pletely as If you had fallen into a
snow-drift. You are not absolutely
bruised, but you are clean"

His First Dress Suit.

1.-THE first time ever put on dress
suit" said ex-Gov. Scofleld, was at
the reception and ball which followed
in the evening Of the day that l was
inaugurated. l remember that we
had to stand on little platform,
raised a few inches from the floor,
while the crowd passed along and
shook hands with Mrs. Scofield and
myself.
Il weighed just ninety-six pounds
at that time, and was as thin as a
match. Mrs. Scofield is a fleshy wo-
man, and as l looked at her during a
lull in the procession and then sized
up my own diminutive anatomy l whis-
pered to her:
Martha, we must look like the liv-
ing skeleton and the fat woman in the
dime museum to these people,"
THAT settled Mrs. Scofield for the
balance of the evening, and to save
herself she could not get rid of the
ripples of mirth that would sweep
over her face and break out into peals
of laughter as the righteousness of
the situation appealed to her."-Mil-
waukee Sentinel.

An Planters Were Architects.

Very few Of the old houses of the
South, except some of the old Geor-
gian houses of Charleston, which be-
long to an earlier period than the
white-columned houses of the early
nineteenth century, have deliberately
decorated interiors Except In the
sea coast cities of the South. skilled
labor was rare and architects wers
almost unknown. The great majority
: OF planters, therefore, were compelled
to import their architectural designs
or draw them themselves. Most of
them preferred to do the latter las

his own plans for Monticello) and to
oversee personally the construction of
the houses.
With this end in view; almost all

A Great Man Worsted.

In an interesting case where Rufus
Choate and Daniel Webster were both
retained by Boston shipping house.
Mr. Choate examined the witnesses.
He had before him in the witness-box
one of the ship-owners, whom he wish
ed to confuse, and Consequently he
began by asking long and complex
question.
George Francis Train, who tells ths
story says this question wound all
round the case and struggled through
every street in Boston
"You say" asserted Choate, that
you did so and so, that you went to
such and such place; after this you
did so and so, and then thus and So"
But the man was an Irishman of per-
feet nerve and mistaken GOODNESS.
Mr.. Choate went on coiling Up his
question and tying knots in it; and
when he had quite finished, the wit
ness merely looked at him, and said,
calmly:
"Mr. Choate, will yez be afther re-
pating that again."
The bench and the spectators roar
ed. Mr.. Choate was worsted. Yet
he won his case.

A NURSERY IN THlBET.

Rock-a-by-Babyism In This Little
Known Country.
Our first meeting with the Sifans
presented many ludicrous features,
writes w. C. Jameson Read In Col
Ncr's Weekly. We were plunging
through the gloom of the forest when
our ears were assailed with a con.
course of yells which echoed through
the supernatural silence with ghostly
weirdness. In this forbiiding wilder
ness we had not looked for signs of
human habitation, so hastily arrang-
ing ourselves In position we prepared
ourselves for what seemed an newt.
able hostile attack. Long and anxious.
ly we waited the onslaught Of our sup.
posed hidden assailants, when again
the disturbing sound echoed al
most, 1t seemed, over our very hea is.
CHANGING upward, the mystery was
soon explained, for in the lower
branches of the tree We could descry
numerous small bundles, each too
large for an eyry and too small for a
windfall.
Both my Kiansi ami Gharlkauese es-
cort, with their superstitious natures
reused by these ghostlike sounds,
visibly paled beneath their dusky
skins, and gazed furtively round in
order to seek means of escape from
this enchanted spot. Even was not
little puzzled and awed, until peering
more closely l became aware of the
fact the disturbing elements which
had caused us so much concern arose
from the fact that We had unwittingly
stumbled upon an aboriginal nursery,
and that the weird and ghostlike
sounds emanated from several hungry
and lusty-lunged infants. Then the
solemn stiffness was broken by our
hearty laughter. The Sifans and
Gharlkaises, as II to make amends
for their credulous fears, making the
woods ring with their forced outlaws.
The Sifan Thibetans, as we subse-
duently learned, place their children
in skin cradles and hang these from
the trees in the forests near their vii
lagos for two reasons-the first from
belief that they will be instructed
by the deities; the second, that their
full existence may not be endangered
by the abominable filth and squalor
of the settled regions. Several times
in the day they are visited by their
mothers, who provide them with food
and remain with them during the
night, and in this forest home the
child remains until it is two or three
years old, ana has grown strong and
healthy enough to stand the rigors of
hardship and disease.

1shed by full-grown roots and stems,
young trees grow under shade that
would kill the small seeding. The
sprout will endure an astonishing
amount of shade. In stands of second
growth SO dense that not ray of sun

high are to be found growing from

places in the virgin forest one may find
clumps of shoots as white as sprouts

Blood POISONING.

Blood poisoning is now recognized as
poisoning by a living organism, while
ordinary poisoning is by some chem
ical substance devoid of life. Blood
poisoning took its name before it's ma
ture was properly understood, and it
was thought to be form of ordinary
poisoning, but that the blood rather
than the vital principles" was chiefly
attacked.
AS the stomach can. as a rule, de-
stroy the life of most organisms,
while it can only to a limited extent
alter the constitution of chemical poi
sons, poisoning by living organisms.
or blood poisoning, is far more com
mon through wounds than by things
eaten, and thus the idea of it's being a
poisoning of the blood was strength
ened. AS a blood poison" is alive. it
can, and often does, go on increasing
after its first Indigestion, and the most
Obvious difference between the two is
that blood poisoning generally begins
with slight symptoms, and increas-
cs indefinitely, while ordinary poison
ing reaches its height almost at once.

A RIDE ON A CAMEL.
Plucky Woman Traveller Describes
the Experience.

Plucky Woman Traveller Describes
the Experience.
1t was in western Australia. Water
was scarce and the long journey to
the mines had been rendered unsafe
for man and beast by the failure of
the water supply. 1t was decided to
make the experiment Of importing
camels and native drivers from Afri-
ca. Large numbers of men were at the
mines and the hauling of provisions
was necessary to avert famine. Thus
1t was that the camel displaced the OK
as the king of the highway. When
concluded to take the trip to the
mines in the caravan, a minister who
was interested in the welfare of the
miners, decided to go at the same
time, and volunteered to act as my
escort. The truth is, the good man
had never Travelled by camel and he
was anxious to try the experience. So
one fine morning the camel and his
two drivers stopped ah my door. That
awful beast!
l am sure the camel was the last
thing the Lord made, and, well, he
has never been finished. The owner
seemed to understand him. In a few
well-chosen words he commanded the
camel to kneel. The animal obliged,
taking his own time. AS we ap-
preached he shifted and growled, and
turning his long neck emphasized his
interest in II INV Il in n unIdnr dive
at the preacher The driver did not
swear. There are no Swear words"
in his language, and he could not
speak English, so he relieved his
feelings by kicking the camel. When
the creature was finally Gained, the
reverend brother took his place in
the saddle. l mentally thanked the
fates that had decreed it good form"
for the gentleman TO mount first and
occupy the front section of the sad
die l fully realized that it is some
times safe to hide behind preacher.
The driver fashioned one of his knees
to form mount for me, from which
l sprang into the saddle, and when at
ease he gave the marching orders.
A camel has but one Joint in his
front legs and two in the back. When
he begins to get up no creature on
earth but a camel could do such stupid
things. He straightens out his back
legs first, leaving that part of his
body high in the air. AS | rose ma
jestically above the preacher and
