BATHING IN THE SEA.
ft Originated In England Tn the
 Eighteenth Century.

Eighteenth century.
 Sea bathing had its origin in England before 1850, when Dr. Richard Russell published his treatise on the virtues of sea water. The healing virtues of the sea bath were not understood, nor was the practice of sea bathing gen erally resorted to- There seems to have existed a horror of the sea; in- deed, in mediaeval times a compulsory dip in its waters was a sentence often passed on the public offender. In the earlier decades of the eighteenth cen tury western Europe suffered heavily under "king's evil" the popular name for that tuberculous affection which scourged all classes from peer 10 peas ant.
 Dr. Russell, a Sussex practitioner had observed that dwellers on the coast used to drink of the sea water, bathe in 1t, even wash their sores in 1t and bind them up with sea weed. Having satisfied himself as to the efficacy of the practice he began to prescribe for his patients with most satisfactory results. His treatise re- suited in the coasts becoming large ly patroniEed by the ailing, and the de mand for seaside lodgings was soon H growing quantity. This gradually spread to the continent Then people commenced to see that fresh water was a good thing, and the vital i'm portance of the skin as an eNcretor Of waste was greatly emphasized some what later Gin 1884, when the morning tub" was instituted and has since ac- ouIred a worldwide reputation.

OLD JEWISH TRADITION.
The Way the Israelites of old Lost
 Their Third Eye,

-
 The Way the Israelites of old Lost
 Their Third Eye.
 The Jews of eastern Palestine and Asia Minor have queer tradition which has survived from ancient times and tells of a remote period In their history when every fully devolped Is raelite was equipped with three perfect eyes. The two main optics were situ- ated In the front part of the head, just as eyes are today, but the third was located in the back part of the head just above the nape of the neck In the edge of the halr. This wonderful third eye in man was not "evoluted" out Of existence, but was closed by divine in- junction on the day when Moses was given the tables of stone on Sinai
 You remember that Gods command on the day that the tables were renew cd was to the effect that no man should be seen In the vicinity of the holy mount. CSee EX. XNNiv, 3) The be lievers in the three eye tradition say that Moses supplemented Gods com mand by ordering the faithful who were encamped In the valley to turn their heads from the mountain. This they did, but took good care to uncover the eye that was situated In the back of the head Moses, noticing thls show of dupIclty on the part of his follow CTS, asked God to close the third, or rear, eye. and since that day the Israelltes, in common with the remainder Of hu- manity, have been forced to depend on two eyes only.
